019 Treasure Cabinet
If you need someone to protect you, you don't have to, this street is quite spacious.
However, the carriage was not slow, and as it galloped past, it brought up puffs of dust and smoke, causing people on both sides to scream.
Chu Ran saw that there was a word "Feng" written on the carriage.
"This car is majestic enough!"
Looking at the galloping carriage, Chu Ran said lightly.
On the edge of the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Although it is a place where ordinary people live, it is estimated that not everyone dares to drive a carriage like this.
"The Emperor...... The young master atoned, and the slave and maid did not know the origin of this carriage. Do you want the slave to check it? ”
Looking at the galloping carriage, Zhao Yindong on the side was indignant, I don't know which guy who didn't have long eyes lived to the end and dared to be wild in front of the emperor.
He also saw the Feng character on the carriage, but like Chu Ran, Zhao Yindong didn't know what it meant.
After all, he has been in the palace for a long time, and if he wants to say that he must know more about things like palace rules. But it is impossible to say that you can see anything from the outside with just one word.
"Forget it, maybe people are in a hurry!"
Patting the dust on his body, Chu Ran spoke.
"Then the Feng family kid is too disagreeable, what if he hits someone?" Someone around him spoke.
"What's wrong with hitting someone? With the power of his Feng family, who would dare to do it? A man in cloth said with disdain.
"Also, who has Feng Yan and Senior Young Master Feng been afraid of?" The man before said wryly.
Feng Yan?
Chu Ran heard this name for the first time.
It seems that there are still many powerful people in this capital.
At this moment, Chu Ran added another impression to this world.
"Let's go! Let's go over there! ”
Putting aside his thoughts, Chu Ran instructed Zhao Yindong.
I came out this time to understand the people's situation, and seeing and listening more is Chu Ran's biggest purpose this time.
The four of them walked along the street, and Chu Ran chatted with those who were setting up stalls on the side of the road from time to time. After a while, Chu Ran had a rough idea in his heart.
A penny in the Great Xia Kingdom, that is, a copper plate, is almost the same as the value of a penny in the real world.
For a penny, you can buy two steamed buns here, or a steamed bun. Similarly, a pound of pork only costs a dozen pennies.
And the purchasing power of the surrounding people is not low, Chu Ran saw that many people were holding vegetable baskets containing a lot of food.
"Could it be that only the people here are rich, and the people in other places are still very poor?"
Half an hour later, Chu Ran had such an idea.
A person can casually buy 100 yuan of vegetables on the street, which shows his income.
In addition to the stalls, there are also a few shops lining the road.
There was a peaceful scene on the whole street, which made Chu Ran feel more and more that there was a problem with taxes.
At this time, Chu Ran suddenly saw a three-story wooden building next to the street. The decoration of the wooden building is elegant and antique, and the three vigorous and powerful characters of 'Treasure Pavilion' are engraved on the plaque of the wooden building.
There were a lot of carriages parked in front of the wooden building, and Chu Ran noticed that the carriage with the word 'Feng' written on it before was impressively in the queue.
didn't say much, Chu Ran walked directly into the wooden building.
When you enter the building, your eyes suddenly open up, and the decoration of the entire first floor is particularly chic.
Carved wooden shelves are arranged around it, and in the middle is a long table, like a bar.
There were a lot of people in the hall on the entire first floor, and most of the clothes were not rough. These people were talking about something around the wooden frames.
Next to them were a couple of young men in short coats, introducing them to the items on the shelves.
It seems that this Treasure Pavilion is a bit like a boutique in the real world, Chu Ran said secretly in his heart.
Just after Chu Ran and Zhao Yindong entered, a young man in a short coat quietly walked over and stood beside the four of them, not saying much.
Glancing at the shelves in front of him, Chu Ran saw a lot of jewelry placed there.
The shelves of the entire Treasure Pavilion are divided according to the type of items, and the jewelry shelves in front of Chu Ran are in front of him. Since most of the people who come here are men, there is no one in front of the jewelry shelves.
Chu Ran naturally wouldn't be interested in these things, if you want to say that there are more in the palace. After a few brief glances, he looked elsewhere.
Next to the jewelry shelves are two shelves for medicinal herbs, which are more crowded than here.
The reason why it is called the Treasure Pavilion is that the things inside are much more advanced than the ones outside. If not, simply go straight to the pharmacy and buy something.
"Dude, how do you sell this ginseng?"
In front of Chu Ran, a middle-aged man about fourteen years old opened his mouth and asked the young man beside him.
"Boss, you really know the goods!"
The young man saw that someone was asking for the price, and hurriedly greeted: "This is a good century-old ginseng from the northern Gaodan country, you really have an eye." ”
"Centennial ginseng? No way? When the onlookers heard the young man's words, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Although the country of Gaodan is rich in ginseng, it is rare to see a hundred years of ginseng."
"That guy wasn't lying to us, was he? Where can a century-old ginseng be encountered with such a casual wine. ”
"You think too much about this, the Treasure Pavilion has such a good reputation, how can it be possible to fool us with fake ginseng."
"Yes! This gold-lettered signboard is worth more than a piece of ginseng. ”
The surrounding onlookers talked a lot, and the words reached Chu Ran's ears word for word.
The young man saw that he had almost attracted the interest of the people around him, and then said: "This hundred years of ginseng is one or two, and the rhizome is intact, if the boss is interested, it will be a hundred taels of silver." ”
With that, the young man stared at the middle-aged man, as if to see his reaction.
One hundred taels!
As soon as I heard the young man's offer, the scene was as lively as a fryer.
"A hundred taels of silver? Isn't this a money grab? "Some people can't accept the price when they hear it.
"Yes! No matter how good ginseng is, it's too expensive! ”
"One hundred taels, enough for me to go to Tianxiang Pavilion to find several beautiful beauties with good looks!"
"Hahaha!!"
People say everything you say, but in their words they seem to be saying that this ginseng is expensive.
Chu Ran briefly analyzed it on the side and felt that the price was reasonable.
According to the algorithm that one penny is equal to one dollar in the real world, one hundred taels of silver is one hundred thousand yuan.
In the real world, there are very few hundred-year-old ginseng, and once someone digs it up, it will cost hundreds of thousands, to say the least.
What's more, a hundred-year-old ginseng like this is basically impossible to cultivate, let alone a place like the Great Xia Kingdom.
Although the price is so, it is really expensive for ordinary people.
The middle-aged man who had asked the price before couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard the price of 100-year-old ginseng, and then quietly left the crowd.
It seems that the price of 100 taels of silver is really not low for people.
"Isn't it just a hundred taels? Master, I bought it! ”
At this moment, a man's voice rang out in the hall.
With the voice, Chu Ran saw a young man in white standing at the staircase on the second floor, holding a folding fan in his hand, and the voice just now was made by him.
"It's Feng Gongzi! Who am I to be able to afford such a high price? ”
"One hundred taels of silver is not trivial for the Feng family."
"Whew! A little white face relied on himself to take a good daughter-in-law, a fox and a fake tiger. ”
The appearance of the young man in white seemed to be a lot of discussions.
It's that Feng Yan again!
Chu Ran couldn't help but look at the young man twice.
Although the young man was handsome, his expression was a little exaggerated, and he looked arrogant, as if he didn't care about others.
After Feng Yan finished speaking, he proudly rented the stairs and walked towards the shelf where the ginseng was placed.
The people next to him avoided one after another, making way for Feng Yan.
"This ginseng is not bad, it's just right to go back and buy a chicken to stew."
Feng Yan looked at the century-old ginseng on the shelf and said with a smile. When he spoke, his eyes were full of pride.
Seemingly very satisfied with the envious gaze in the eyes of others, Feng Yan waved his hand, and a middle-aged man behind him took out a silver ticket.
Shrugging his shoulders, Chu Ran silently left the crowd.
Maybe he's an ordinary person who is used to it, and he can't understand the thoughts of rich people.
But Chu Ran knew that even if he was rich, even if he was the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom now, he would not be so pompous.
Since the people in the hall of the Treasure Pavilion were all attracted by that Feng Yan, Chu Ran wandered around.
Suddenly, Chu Ran's eyes were attracted by a shelf.
There were a lot of weapons on that shelf, of course, all of them were extremely elaborate.
Among them were daggers encrusted with gems, and shortbows that looked like they were no less powerful.
But Chu Ran's gaze was not there, but stared at one place.
It was a small, palm-sized box that looked unremarkable. And Chu Ran took a fancy to the name of the small box.
Arrows in the sleeve.
Perhaps for fear of trouble, the name of the weapon was written on a wooden board next to the seemingly inconspicuous small box.
Chu Ran didn't know that the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom did not allow the sale of such weapons, but that small box did make him a little interested.
"This son, this is an arrow in his sleeve."
A young man came over beside Chu Ran at some point, saw him staring at the small box, and whispered.
"This sleeve arrow contains three short arrows, and when you press the trigger device, it will fire short arrows, and its attack range is ten zhang."
The young man carefully explained the parameters of the arrow in his sleeve, and at the same time observed Chu Ran's reaction.
Hidden weapon!
After listening to the young man's words, Chu Ran reflected for the first time.
It seems that in this Great Xia, the domestic trade in weapons is free, and a shop next to the street can openly sell weapons.
But this small box is in the sleeve, and it really can't be seen by outsiders. And its power may not seem great, but thirty meters is enough.
For Chu Ran, who lives in the last days, any weapon makes sense to him. What's more, he has storage space, so naturally he won't worry about too many weapons to put down.
"This thing is very interesting, I want it, sir!"
Just as Chu Ran was following the arrow in his sleeve in front of him, a voice suddenly sounded on the side.
