Chapter 625: The Black Market

The business of Rongyifang in the West City was beyond Mingyi's expectations, and it was not on par with Xia Huanfeng at the time. When Ming Yi and Chu Boyan arrived at Rong Yi Fang, there was still a moment left at noon, and a circle of people were already standing at the door of Rong Yi Fang.

Ming Yi asked softly, "Who is the little shopkeeper?" ”

Chu Boyan said with a smile: "They used to call me the big shopkeeper, but I didn't dare, my qualifications were still shallow, so they changed their title to this." ”

Ming Yi followed him to a compartment in the depths of Rong Yifang, which was simple, with only a set of tables and chairs, a wooden box, and a "he" word hanging on the wall. Chu Boyan said that this was his treasure collection room, and asked her to sit down and rest for a while. Although Mingyi has always known about the existence of the underground market, he has never seen it in person, and he finds everything interesting.

Ming Yi was curious: "Who are these people outside?" ”

Chu Boyan replied: "There are buyers and sellers. Rongyifang opened at noon, and I opened at three o'clock in the afternoon, with a daily limit of buying and selling, a single day of buying, and a double day of sale. So they'll all come and wait earlier. After a long time, you will be hungry and tired, and you will be embarrassed not to order some food and drink. Part of the dealings are black roads, money is easy to come by, and part of it is rich people who love rare things and spend generously. Therefore, the business of Rong Yifang is better than before. ”

Ming Yi sighed: "The little shopkeeper is amazing. ”

Chu Boyan said shyly: "It's all taught well by the master. ”

After a while, two sturdy men walked in, with serious faces, nodded to Chu Boyan, and stood at the entrance of the room, standing still.

Mingyi probably guessed: "Where is Hua Zixian?" ”

Chu Boyan nodded: "Yes, after I settle here every day, the cash will be sent to the quality shop accompanied by them, and there are strict guard arrangements there." ”

Ming Yi secretly thought to himself that if he met a light skill master like Cheng Yan or a martial arts master above Ye Xin's level, he was afraid that any guard would be in vain. Fortunately, there are very few masters of this level, and they probably don't disdain to steal dogs.

Chu Boyan seemed to guess what she was thinking: "There are loans every day in the quality shop, but in fact, there are not many of them left in the warehouse." ”

Ming Yi looked at the furnishings of this room, except for a large ochre-colored wooden box next to Chu Boyan, there was no place to store it, and asked, "How do you store the goods you received?" ”

Chu Boyan smiled lightly and greeted the guards at the door: "Trouble the two big brothers." ”

The two guards walked over, and with all four arms, slowly moved the ochre-colored wooden box, which seemed to weigh considerably.

I saw Chu Boyan turn his back, lift the scroll of the word "and" on the wall, and knock it three times. The stone bricks under the original wooden box collapsed downward, revealing a tunnel. The guard turned around and lit a lantern and handed it to Chu Boyan.

Ming Yi followed Chu Boyan down, it was really an amazing underground treasure room. It's very simple, it's compact, and it doesn't look like it's as brilliant as you imagined. It's just that there are neatly stacked wooden boxes and a few layers of wooden shelves. The wooden box is labeled with porcelain, jade, gold, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous and other labels. Stacked on the wooden shelves are a number of smaller brocade boxes.

Ming Yi looked like this, it was just a warehouse: "This is the place to collect the treasures, right?" Guests certainly can't come down. ”

"yes, I'm the only one here." Chu Boyan looked calm, and took out a booklet from a brocade box on the wooden shelf, "Every day's items are registered here, if I have any accidents in the future, Master, you will take stock according to this booklet, there will be no mistake." ”

Ming Yi knocked on the door of his head: "What nonsense, you see that you spend so much effort to protect you, you are still the hope of our Shangguan gang in the future, quickly, bah, bah, it doesn't count." ”

Chu Boyan smiled and snorted in agreement, but continued: "Personnel are impermanent, and it is always good to be prepared. ”

Ming Yi glanced at him: "At a young age, how can you talk old-fashioned." ”

Chu Boyan was silent, just smiled and unpacked to show her various collections.

Ming Yi looked at his side face, the child had lost some weight, his contours had deepened, and he looked more and more mature. Although falling out of love is a heart-wrenching thing for a simple teenager, it is also the best catalyst for growth, I hope he can get rid of bitter love as soon as possible, and these experiences will make him a more complete real man.

After looking around the collection, Chu Boyan took her to the other end of the basement, where there was also a similar staircase, which was closed at the end. Chu Boyan raised his hand and gently pushed on the top, and a breath of fresh air rushed in, mixing with the slightly old smell of the basement.

The two of them stepped up, and it was another world. It should be next door to Chu Boyan's treasure collection room, but it is three times larger than the treasure collection room. The room is lit with candles. On both sides are ten brocade machins decorated with lacquered pictures of birds, and each layer and each grid is given a separate treasure. Unlike the dusty boxes downstairs, they are neatly organized and shining. Chu Boyan slightly introduced a few pieces, the Zhanlu sword obtained from Xue Rengui's descendants, cast by Ou Yezi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was difficult to buy it for ten thousand gold; The double dragon re-ring from the tomb of King Chu during the rebellion of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty is also a treasure in the black market; There are also the royal blue glaze wine utensils flowing out of the palace in the former dynasty, which are extremely beautiful.

This is placed on the most eye-catching layer of the ten brocade mackerel, which is the treasure of these town stores. Although others are also precious, they are not unique, and the price is also affordable for the average wealthy person, and they are often replaced.

The cabinet at the bottom of the mallet is filled with items for the shelves or for the discerning guest to choose.

On the other white wall, there are dozens of calligraphy and paintings, and Mingyi can't understand these.

Chu Boyan introduced: "This is our ransom room, and buyers come here. ”

Ming Yi smiled: "I can really feel completely relieved now. Although Boyan is young, he has already acted very thoroughly, and he can integrate what he has learned. I am deeply gratified by the teacher. Don't delay your opening, I still have to go to the quality store to have a look. ”

Chu Boyan sent her out: "Master be careful on the road. ”

Ming Yi walked out of the treasure redemption room and walked through a shadow wall, and there was already a lot of noise outside. The first floor of Rongyifang is full, and the tables in the hall go to the bamboo chips, and the heavenly stems and points are written on them, which is about the meaning of the number. I also ordered drinks and food along the way, so I waited with peace of mind.

Those who came late had to lament and go home, and those who didn't buy anything for drinking were led to the private room on the second floor. Listening to the people who ran the hall, there are fewer and fewer people who only come for drinking and feasting. If it weren't for the limited number of guests that the Ransom Room could receive in a day, the treasure buyers, who came from the south to the north, would be able to fill all the private rooms.

Mingyi deliberately waited a little longer, paid attention to the current production level of Rongyifang, and after seeing it, it was still as usual, so he left with confidence. Brocade clothes pull Tang
