220 free labor
The streets are lined with small two-story buildings, each with a variety of flags, representing the country they came from or representing the caravanserais.
Wan Chaoyun specially raised her eyes and glanced at it, and found that there were four or five flags hanging in the small building that Ma March took her, but she couldn't see it in vain, because she couldn't see where those flags represented.
"Girl, we have all kinds of gems, spices, and a lot of fun toys here, as long as you look at them, you are sure to like them." Ma March glanced at the hosta and the red gold flower on Wan Chaoyun's head, and sold it even harder.
There are other people like Ma March in the small building, they are all selling their own goods, the difference is that they are all shopkeepers from various stores, or stewards from major families, seeing Ma March leading a little girl in gold and silver and a luxurious dress in, they all showed envy.
Some people even showed that they wanted to rob the little sheep, and Ma March immediately protected the little sheep to death.
"Take a look." Wan Chaoyun said with a smile.
"Okay." Ma March led Wan Chaoyun to the second floor to sit down, and personally made a cup of tea, "Girl, spring tea, Maojian." β
Ma March is not only very standard, but also knows tea very well.
Wan Chaoyun took a sip of tea and found that milk and sugar were added to the tea, although it was not much, but I had to say that it was very pleasing to the little girl, and Wan Chaoyun drank a few more sips.
When Ma March brought a few boxes of gems and spices and some toys and put them on the table, he was stunned when he saw the bottomed out teacup, "I'll pour another cup for the girl." β
Just now he may have forgotten that Wan Chaoyun is from Daxing, and his taste is different, but this time he remembered it clearly, so he didn't put milk and sugar, and made tea for her according to Daxing's habit.
The tea he gave Wan Chaoyun was not a good tea, the tea was cloudy and dark, and the tea fragrance was none, Wan Chaoyun did not move, nor did he remind him, only focused on those gemstones, which were all colored gemstones, such as garnet, peridot, tourmaline, etc.
"Girl, you have fair skin, it must look good to wear a bracelet made of this ruby on your hand, and it is cool in summer, I have a string here, you can try it." Ma March handed a string of garnet bracelets to Wan Chaoyun.
This bracelet has a bit of weight, giving it the feeling that it must be a good thing.
Rose took the bracelet and put it on Wan Chaoyun, it was really beautiful, it made her skin fairer, and the color of the bracelet seemed to be more vivid, as if it was fulfilling each other.
"How much silver is this bracelet?" Wan Chaoyun asked as if he liked it very much.
"Look at the girl's first time, I want to make a friend of the girl, don't lie to the girl, this ruby is a pigeon's blood ruby, the best of the rubies, give you a discount, two hundred taels, how about it?"
Wan Chaoyun and Rose glanced at each other, both of them were stunned, how could he speak?
Ma March looked at it and thought to himself, could it be that the little sheep didn't bring enough silver?
Soon, he had a strategy in mind, "Girl, if you think this ruby can't be seen, and the emerald, it's going to be summer soon, and it looks refreshing to wear emeralds, and there is a string here, you can try it on." β
He took out a string of olivine bracelets from his arms like a trick, and the rose was put on Wan Chaoyun's other hand, which was also quite weighty, and the first reaction of those who didn't understand was that he shouldn't lie to me.
"How much silver is this string?"
"Emeralds, also the best emeralds, not much, one hundred and fifty taels, girl, if you don't bring enough silver, it is enough to pluck two pieces of gold hairpin on your head." He aimed at the red gold flower on Wan Chaoyun's head.
Wan Chaoyun smiled, took off the two bracelets and put them on the table, and said slowly: "Ma March, garnet is sold as pigeon blood ruby, peridot is sold as emerald, you are really good at trading, do you believe it or not, I notified the yamen, so that you can't stay in Daxing?" β
Ma March was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then looked at the girl in front of her, where was she still that easy to deceive, her eyes were shining, and she looked like she had seen through everything, and she was clearly a hard stubble.
Suddenly, his heart was sudden, it was broken, he thought it was a little fat sheep who was easy to deceive, but he didn't expect it to be a wolf!
"Girl, are you kidding? I had just bought it from another caravan, and they told me it was pigeon's blood rubies and emeralds. His brain was also active, and he immediately shook the pot.
Wan Chaoyun looked at him with a smile, and didn't intend to say it, there are many such behaviors in the industry, whether it is Daxing people or foreigners, they will use inferior gems as the best gems to cheat money, profiteers, it is a common problem.
"Really? Then you have a big loss, but you want to lie to me, but you can't, my family is also a business, do you know Wuweiju? Wan Chaoyun said lightly.
Ma Yueyue's eyes immediately widened, and he couldn't believe his ears, but Wan Chaoyun broke through his trick, and he still believed it a little, "Your family is the owner of Wuweiju?" β
"Sort of." She nodded.
"Ouch, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, the girl's subordinates are merciful, I was also deceived by others, I didn't want to deliberately deceive you."
Wan Chaoyun looked at him funny, he understood a lot, and the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and he knew it, "Okay, do a good job in the future, don't deceive people anymore, otherwise the new and old accounts will be counted together." β
"Yes, yes, in the future, contemptible people must keep their eyes open." Don't mistake wolves for sheep!
"I see that you are talking very slippery, I just need to find something, you can be my interpreter with me, even if you compensate me." Wan Chaoyun had already gotten up after saying that, and he didn't look at the other things on the table.
Ma March slapped his mouth, "Call you more mouthy!" Let you not have long eyes, and be treated as free labor! β
Those who have come to Daxing to do business have been here for more than ten years, and some have just come.
People who are tired of being in Daxing for more than ten years will naturally learn the words here, while those who have just arrived need a translator, and it is not easy to find a good translator, and it takes money.
Accompany Ma for a quarter of an hour, and he has to be a translator for free, which is not bad.
Coming up from downstairs, the group went looking for it one by one, and after looking for seven or eight houses, they still didn't find what she wanted, but they saw a foreigner wearing double woolen socks, and the socks were not good, and even a little ugly, but this was not in Daxing.
"Ma March, you go and ask, if he sells that kind of socks."
Ma March walked over and asked in a Chinese language that he didn't know, the man looked at Wan Chaoyun, then shook his head, and after a while, Ma March came back and said, "He said that he didn't sell it, it was given by his fiancΓ©e in China." β
Wan Chaoyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Rose, "Take a hundred taels and buy his socks." β
"Yes." Rose felt expensive in her heart, but she believed that Wan Chaoyun had her own plans, after all, she was moved when she looked at those gems, and her girl abandoned it.
Under the power of the silver, the man still sold a pair of worn but washed woolen socks, "Put it away, go back and send it to Holly, and let him dismantle the thread and mass-produce it." β
After looking for another half an hour, Wan Chaoyun still didn't see the sweet potato she wanted...... It stands to reason that there are potatoes, and sweet potatoes should also be available, but she has never seen them.
"Forget it, don't look for it." She was disappointed.
Ma March was also relieved when he heard this, fortunately he didn't have to go shopping, otherwise when would his ship's goods be sold? Especially this time, the goods are secondary, and there is no market.
However, the next moment, Wan Chaoyun's voice sounded again, "Ma March, I see that you have been here for a long time, why don't I hire you to teach me the language you have there?" β
"Huh?" Ma March's face collapsed instantly, his goods have been accumulated for more than two months, and if he can't sell them again, he will lose money!
"I'll sell you your goods, but you have to teach them well, don't let you teach them in vain, and send you monthly money." Wan Chaoyun's face was solemn, and she had just seen many foreign merchants exchanging their goods for large quantities of tea, porcelain, and fruits.
And fruits, mainly for oranges, oranges, kiwi and the like, such fruits are picked before they are ripe, chilled, easy to preserve, and can be crossed the ocean.
Not to mention silk, which is sold overseas in large quantities.
Wan Chaoyun saw a business opportunity, and she needed more talent to work for her.
"However, I will be returning to China next month." Ma March naturally didn't want to stay and be a gentleman, so he could earn a few bucks.
"If you don't teach, I'll tell others about your deception to me."
Wan Chaoyun looked like you were casual but self-conceited, so frightened that Ma Yue immediately nodded, "Only teach you one?" β
"Naturally not, dozens of them, they're all taught anyway." She has no time to study, and she still has a lot to do.
Ma March: "......"
