Chapter 193: The Wheels Sealed in the Water
According to Li Qiyuan, the nine cities of the capital refer to several large markets, some of which gather countless sellers and buyers of flowers, trees, birds and beasts, some are silk brocades, and the large market of wood furniture is near Xiaoxishan.
The carriage galloped west on the main road, and stopped at a big road after a short time, Yun Qianyu was meditating, Yun Tombsheng closed his eyes to recuperate, and Yun Bailing was lying on the small window looking at the scenery along the way.
"Hey, why did you stop, is there a bandit robbing the road?" Yun Bailing reached out and shook Yun Tomb.
The young man opened his eyes and looked out the window, and did stop well, just as he was about to go down to ask, a figure trotted over, it was Li Qiyuan, Li Qiyuan said to Yun Tomb: "Childe, the furniture wood market is on this, in order to transport furniture and wood is relatively stable, so this road up surrounds, hard to go around several miles, there is a small road to go up here, do we go from this path or detour to walk smoothly?" ”
"Then take the small road, and when you come down, take the main road, and you let your carriage go up the main road and wait for us." After Yun Tombsheng finished speaking, he was about to get out of the car, who knew that Yun Bailing stretched out his hand and pushed, ignoring the fallen Yun Tombsheng, and jumped down happily.
Yun Tombsheng got up, looked at Yun Bailing, who didn't realize that he had pushed people down, and took several deep breaths before resisting the urge to beat her.
The five people walked up the steps unhurriedly, and few people walked up the stone steps, so there was a lot of moss, Li Qiyuan explained: "Most of the people here are a large number of goods trading, although the scale is large, but there are not many people, and they are all made into carriages or something to go up directly." ”
"Since the scale is large, the price should also be low, right? Why are there so few people? Shouldn't a lot of people just come and buy it? White Lotus asked curiously.
Li Qiyuan shook his head and said: "That's the case, this is equivalent to a wholesale place, basically not selling a single piece, and if you buy it individually, the price may not be really low, because the businessmen here only like large orders, not fragmented business, so they will solve this problem by raising the price of a single piece, and gradually individuals will not come, and those who come are big customers."
A few people in the cloud tomb were clear, and a group of people went around two more bends and finally arrived at this high platform, this wood market is very high, and all kinds of shops are undulating at high and low levels, but there is a very wide main road, and it is still early at this time, and there are already many guys moving things again.
There are several ox-drawn ox carts that are loading, Yun Tombsheng knows at a glance that it is transporting heavy things, otherwise he will not use the ox cart, although the ox cart is slow, but there are many things that can be pulled.
Li Qiyuan walked to a shop and said to an old man waving a small fan in the store: "Shopkeeper, do you have any remaining treasures here?" ”
The old shopkeeper raised his head, glanced at Li Qiyuan and said, "Boy, what are you here to buy?" ”
"The carriage, the most extravagant kind, the kind drawn by at least three or four horses." Li Qiyuan jumped on the threshold of the old man and said.
The old man half-squinted his eyes and seemed to be asleep, and said half-dead: "Boy, your family has made a fortune?" Or have you become a big official? I know your details, I suggest that even if you have money, don't buy that kind of four-horse carriage, ordinary people are still a horse's carriage is better, otherwise it is easy to offend people after trespassing, those half-sized and not wealthy officials will not allow you to drive a three-horse carriage, as long as you are not in a good position but too public, then you will definitely be provoked. ”
"It's not me, it's this Yun Gongzi, if you have any good things, take them out and sell them, don't worry." Li Qiyuan slightly let go of his body and revealed Yun Tombsheng who was walking up.
The old man nodded after looking at Yun Tomb, and when he saw Yun Qianyu and Yun Bailing again, the whole person was a lot more solemn, the aura of this group of men and women is not something that can appear in ordinary rich businessmen, it is either a big force in the rivers and lakes or a family of gate valves.
"I only have wheels and hubs here." After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper saw Yun Tombsheng's somewhat surprised expression, that is, he knew that the young man had misunderstood, so he said to Yun Tombsheng: "Yun Gongzi, I don't just need wheels and hubs here, but the most high-quality things are only wheels and hubs, and there were good things before, but they were taken away." ”
Yun Tombsheng suddenly realized, and the white lotus explained to Yun Bailing on the side, "This shopkeeper means that if you want to build such an ultra-luxury carriage, then you need the top accessories, and among the top parts, he only has wheels and hubs here to satisfy." ”
"Yes, three wheel accessories, but there are no spokes, if the son needs it, he can directly take three away, and use two for a backup." The shopkeeper didn't come to ask the price when he saw Yun Tombsheng's appearance, he must have been preparing to buy it, so he asked, "What is the capping price of this new carriage prepared by Yun Gongzi?" ”
Yun Tombsheng didn't know the way here, so he looked at Li Qiyuan, and Li Qiyuan took over and said: "Basically, there is no cap, don't pit us if you are the shopkeeper." ”
The half-dead shopkeeper Xu went directly to the back to get something, there is a rule in the wood market here, that is, no individuals are accepted, unless you are here to hunt for treasure, treasure hunting is to find some uncommon good things, with a loud sound, the shopkeeper walked over with a box that was a big circle larger than the person.
An old man, such a big box can be moved so easily, a few people know at a glance that this shopkeeper Xu is a practitioner, the shopkeeper Xu is full of wrinkles, and he said with curious eyes of several people: "Back then, I liked to walk the rivers and lakes to hunt and play, and then when I got older, it was inconvenient to hunt around, so I wanted to do something related to this, so I opened a carriage shop here, collecting good things from all over the world, one is to make a living, but I like it." ”
The old man did not rush to open the box after putting it down, first went to the door to wash his hands, wiped his hands clean, and then walked back to the side of the box and carefully opened the box.
Because the box was too high, only Yun Tombsheng could barely see inside, the old man dragged a stool with a foot, and after Yun Bailing and a few people climbed up, what caught the eyes of a group of people was the three ring wheels and three hubs soaked in the water, the old man's face was full of joy, looking at the water poisoning forehead wheel and hub, and said: "How about you offspring look at my wheel?" ”
Not to mention that Yun Tombsheng is a person who basically has no intersection with the carriage, even Li Qiyuan is a person like you who likes to study and study is also wide-eyed, and saw that the wheel with the width of the adult man's arm is actually carved with fine patterns, and the place where the wheel touches the ground is all a blackened material, Li Qiyuan knows that this is a tree vine.
"Good fellow, how come I didn't know about this good thing before the shopkeeper? I also told Childe what material is the best, who would have thought that you would have a ready-made one here. Li Qiyuan wanted to reach out and touch it, but he still retracted his hand, because the shopkeeper glared at him unkindly.
The old man said proudly: "You can't afford it, what do you want to show you?" You just can afford it, and I don't want good things to appear in a merchant's house like you. Such good wheels will definitely match a better carriage, and all of this is very heavy, so one horse will definitely not be able to pull, so you know, multiple horses are not something that ordinary people can do. ”
Li Qiyuan touched his nose boringly, the old man's words were not polite at all, which meant that this kind of good thing was not worthy of a merchant family like himself.
Yun Bailing leaned closer, lying on the big box much taller than himself, looking at the wheels in the box, and asked the shopkeeper, "Is this water?" What do you put in water for? ”
"Anti-corrosion, anti-insect, anti-cracking, and anti-warping, there are many benefits." The old man looked at the three wheels and said, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Yun Tombsheng and said, "To be honest, I am a little reluctant to sell. ”
"This Yun Gongzi, I'll tell you first, even if this wheel is sold to you, I hope you can treat it well, all the parts on the good carriage have to be taken care of regularly, the biggest reason why I directly made three wheels is not to replace them if they are broken, but to take turns to use them to free up time for maintenance."
Yun Bailing said disgustedly: "It's just a carriage wheel, as for it?" ”
The old shopkeeper's face suddenly darkened, if it weren't for Yun Bailing's natural harmless appearance, it is estimated that he would have driven people out a long time ago, and said coldly: "For swordsmen, the sword is the thing that needs the most care, and for those of us who love cars, every part of the car needs to be carefully cared for." ”
"Oooh." Yun Bailing sensed the anger of this old man very keenly, and stopped talking very interestingly.
Li Qiyuan looked at the wheels and said: "This is not a carriage, the biggest use is no longer a ride, but a work of art, it has become a thing used to show the spirit of the owner's family, if only other parts of this level could be found next." ”
The old man looked at Yun Tombsheng, who was very interested, frowned and said: "If Yun Gongzi is really interested, I am willing to help, I know who has good things, and if I go out, except for the iron rooster Old Man Liu, others will definitely give some face, and I can help you get these things together after spending some time." ”
"What about the conditions." Yun Tombsheng looked at the other things in the store and said lightly, he is not stupid, the White Lotus is more or less loyal to help him do things, Li Qiyuan is purely taking what he needs, and he needs to help him solve Zhang Shirong's matter, if the shopkeeper who has just met is willing to help, then it must be because he has something he can value.
Shopkeeper Zhang stood on the stool and looked at the big wheel in the box, and said after a long time: "The main reason why I am willing to say such things as help is that you and the two girls beside you are generous enough, and they must be worthy of this wheel; The second is that you seem to have a lot of money, you don't care how much money you spend on it, you have enough money to buy the best things, and your money can help me realize my dream of building a good carriage. ”
Seeing that Yun Tombsheng seemed to be about to speak, the shopkeeper rushed to say: "Childe, you should also know, this person, there are always some hobbies, I am very interested in this carriage, but I don't have so much money, if Childe is willing, I will give away these wheels for nothing, but you have to promise, make sure to be as careful as possible about the new carriage, and after the new carriage is spliced, let me be a groom for a few days, and start driving for a few days." ”
"Okay, that's fine, but at this price, I still hope it's fair." Yun Tombsheng nodded, once a person has enough power, a lot of troubles will disappear, he can calmly agree, the most important thing is to be confident that he has the strength to handle this Xu shopkeeper, and he is not worried about being pitted.
Shopkeeper Xu nodded, stretched out his hand and swore: "I, Xu Lianyuan, swear to heaven here, if I make a penny of extra money in this matter, then I will cut off my children and grandchildren, and I will not die well in this life, and I will go to hell after death." ”
