Chapter 42: The bait worked
Now, Wang Jue's feet once again condensed two six-pointed stars, in the case of full force to chase the wind without a shadow, the more than ten miles to Qingyang Town, only took a stick of incense, and came to the outside of the town.
Still like last time, he didn't go directly to Zhang's house, he still came to Qingyang Hotel, or the private room last time, it was a coincidence that he was entertained by the shopkeeper who had become a pig's head.
"Wang Gongzi, you came really fast enough, this time, you brought animal skins to my young master again?"
"Where did you get so much nonsense, go quickly, prepare a table for me like last time, and tell you by the way, after preparing the wine and food, call Zhang Guangzu immediately. ”
Soon, thirty-two special dishes were ready, and the shopkeeper stood at the table without moving, looking straight at Wang Jue with his eyes.
"Didn't you remember what I said, go and call Zhang Guangzu to meet me, I'm still waiting to trade hides with him here." Wang Jue was impatient, and immediately scolded the shopkeeper.
"Wang Gongzi, may I ask, who will settle the bill this time, please tell the little one. When the shopkeeper asked this, he was nervous in his heart.
"It's really embarrassing for your young master, the Zhang family is the number one rich man in Qingyang Town, and his friends came to drink, and they have to ask who will pay the bill, but since you asked, I might as well tell you the wine money this time! ”
Hearing that Wang Jue was going to spend his own money, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, but he was still standing still, he was waiting for Wang Jue to give him a golden ticket.
Wang Jue understood what he meant, put his hand into the storage bag, took out a golden ticket of 1,000 taels, and handed it to him.
The shopkeeper bent down to take the golden ticket, and immediately said excitedly: "Prince Wang, please use it slowly, and the little one will go and invite my young master to come over." With that, he trotted out of the private room.
The shopkeeper was in a good mood, walking on the street of Qingyang Town, humming a little song all the way, and came to the Zhang family's mansion with brisk steps.
"Young master, that Wang Jue prince is here again, waiting for the young master at the Qingyang Hotel. The shopkeeper was full of spring breeze, nodded and said.
"Again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he came again, and immediately felt that something was wrong, didn't Wang Jue just come again, if he didn't come, where would he find such a good skin.
"This guy, did you order those thirty-two special dishes again?
When Zhang Guangzu asked this, he wanted to slap his mouth, blaming himself for being cheap, and he had to ask the other party to go to his hotel, and he still had to record it in his own account.
Thinking that a thousand taels of gold were about to disappear again, Zhang Guangzu's cheeks suddenly twitched, and he reached out and touched his waist, and his liver hurt in distress.
"Young master, I don't know what's wrong this time, this prince actually paid the bill by himself, and a thousand taels of gold were handed over to the cabinet. The more the shopkeeper talked, the more excited he became, and he danced with his hands.
After a while, Zhang Guangzu quickly got up from his seat and walked out with a step, which was different from the usual square steps, but this time it was like flying.
"This kid can't be nervous! It doesn't matter if he's not! As long as I pay the gold, I don't care about anything else! Hurry up, he drinks at his own expense, and I can't help but drink. ”
Finally caught up with the other party's money to drink, Zhang Guangzu suddenly became anxious, he wanted to eat Wang Jue and get back a little bit of his previous losses, only in this way did he feel a little balanced in his heart.
Zhang Guangzu ran like crazy, rampage through the streets, and kicked out when he saw someone in front of him, revealing his long-lost image again.
Stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the private room, without even looking at the wine and food on the table, he sat directly on the nearest chair, panting with a mouth in his mouth.
Zhang Guangzu is like this, the shopkeeper is more uncomfortable than him, after pushing open the door of the private room, he leaned on the door frame all of a sudden, and couldn't move a step.
"Young master, why are you in such a hurry? We still have time, look at you tired, it's not worth it. ”
After Wang Jue finished speaking, he stood up, reached out and took the wine jar, filled himself with a bowl of wine, and then took a big bowl, wanting to fill Zhang Guangzu with wine again, but the bottom of the wine jar was tilted upward, and the wine in the big bowl was not full.
Wang Jue held the wine jar with both hands, and aimed the bottom of the wine jar with the big bowl upward, so he reluctantly filled the big bowl with wine, and then pushed the wine bowl to Zhang Guangzu, who was sitting opposite.
"Come, young master, for our second transaction, I invite you to drink this bowl of wine, and there is also a plate of dishes here, which is also given to the young master. ”
There are a total of thirty-two special dishes, and in the process of a round trip from the shopkeeper to Zhang's mansion, almost all of them were reimbursed, and only the last dish remained.
No wonder Wang Jue eats fast this time, since he went back here last time, he immediately met the Jin family's convoy, and under physical and mental exhaustion, he also spurted out two mouthfuls of blood, at this time, he urgently needed a lot of nutrients to replenish his body.
Then, I immediately went to the Linhai Forest, and had a fight with the wolverine, and in the end, I ran in the hot spring pool for half a night, and the physical exertion was too great.
After Wang Jue finished speaking, he pushed the only remaining dish in front of Zhang Guangzu, and it was only then that Zhang Guangzu turned his gaze to the wine table, looking at the thirty-one plates in front of him, Zhang Guangzu wanted to cry without tears.
However, since you are here, it is much better to take advantage of a little bit of cheapness than not to take advantage of it, people are like this, as long as you can see things openly, things will not be called trouble.
Pick up the wine bowl, pour a sip of wine, pick up a pair of chopsticks next to it, pick up the plate and pull the vegetables into the mouth, and then, pick up the bowl again, pour all the remaining wine into the mouth, and finally the remaining dish on the plate, simply don't use chopsticks, pour it directly into the mouth.
I didn't chew half of the dish, I swallowed it directly, because I swallowed it too fast, it was stuck in my throat, and my face suddenly turned red.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran behind him, turned his hands into two drumsticks, and kept beating him on the back, and after a long time, he saw Zhang Guangzu's neck bulging, and then shrunk again, and the stuck dish was finally swallowed.
"Brother Wang, did you bring the tiger skin?"
Zhang Guangzu wants to take advantage of Wang Jue's wine and food, his main purpose is the tiger skin in the other party's hand, a tiger skin gives Wang Jue 5,000 taels of gold, and then, as soon as he resells it, he sells it for 10,000 taels, which is a big advantage.
"Haha, young master, I knew you must be in a hurry, the tiger skin was brought, but I have something better here, I'll show you first." ”
As soon as Wang Jue said this, Zhang Guangzu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say: "What a good thing, quickly take it out and let me see it." ”
Wang Jue had already been prepared, but it was still placed in the dead corner of the wine table last time, and the position where Zhang Guangzu was sitting just couldn't be seen.
Wang Jue lifted the wolverine up and asked Zhang Guangzu to look at it carefully across the table, and the moment this guy saw the wolverine, he suddenly stood up from the chair.
"Brother Wang, this wolverine is a good baby, and those two tiger skins are nothing compared to it. Zhang Guangzu stared at the wolverine in Wang Jue's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to snatch it from the other party's hand.
Needless to say this from Zhang Guangzu, Wang Jue also knows the value of this wolverine, the tiger skin is just an ornamental thing, and the biggest role is to make it into a cushion to sit on under the buttocks.
But the wolverine is different, its whole body is a treasure, especially the highest value of flesh and blood, the meat is cut into pieces to dry, and then ground into powder, which is the best healing elixir, if it is in the hands of the alchemist, it is the main medicine for refining the healing elixir.
In this world, no matter what it is, as long as it is connected with cultivation, its value will increase without limit, and sometimes it is simply immeasurable.
For example, wolverine meat, if you meet a cultivator, you will definitely exchange it for spirit stones or yuan stones that are common in the cultivation world, and there are not a few.
To put it more colloquially, even in the secular world, the value of this wolverine is definitely more than a dozen tiger skins, and if it is exchanged for gold, it can be sold for at least 100,000 taels, after understanding this, it is not surprising that Zhang Guangzu's eyes are shining.
"What the young master said is very true, this wolverine is not easy to get, I tried my best to kill it, and it is reasonable for the young master to like it. ”
Putting the wolverine on the ground, Wang Jue kept his mouth shut about the price of the wolverine, he had to wait for the other party to speak, and then act at the opportunity.
"Brother Wang, you and I both understand the value of the wolverine, so just open the skylight and say something bright, how about I give you 80,000 taels of gold. Actually, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's worth 100,000 taels, but I also want to make some money, so I can't work in vain. ”
Zhang Guangzu's words, Wang Jue had to admit that what he said was very true, it can be seen that in the face of this wolverine, Zhang Guangzu was also a little unable to control himself, in order to win the trust of the other party, he suddenly revealed the truth.
"Okay, since the young master is a cheerful person, I can't be too stingy, just do as you say, add two tiger skins, and give me a total of 90,000 taels of gold. ”
"Brother Wang, since the deal has been made, I will give you another truth, if this wolverine still has horns, let alone 80,000 taels of gold, even if it is 200,000 taels, I will admit it. ”
Hearing Zhang Guangzu's words, Wang Jue secretly said in his heart: Wolverine horn is worth 120,000 taels of gold? His grandmother's just developed a star on her foot, and she spent so much gold, and cultivating this thing is really too expensive.
Just when he was thinking about this, Zhang Guangzu handed over the golden ticket, Wang Jue was stunned, took it casually, and put it directly into his pocket.
"Young master, two tiger skins and wolverines together, you better come and test them. Wang Jue knew that the most critical moment had come, and whether he could make the other party recognize the tiger skin would be tested in the next moment.
Zhang Guangzu quickly bypassed the table, reached the other side of the table in a few steps, bent down and grabbed the wolverine, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, as for the two tiger skins on the ground, he didn't even look at it.
