Zeng Lao and Tang Chen both looked at each other and smiled, but did not say anything. Who doesn't know that this boss is selling melons in Huang Po and boasting about himself? Could it be that this boss will devalue his goods to the point of being useless?

Seeing through it or not saying it is the choice of Zeng Lao and Tang Chen.

To be honest, the cinnabar here is really good, although Tang Chen can't tell the place of origin, but he can tell the quality of this cinnabar, which is indeed better than many cinnabars.

"What are you doing when you buy cinnabar? Looking at the appearance of the two of them, they should be painting Chinese paintings, right?"

This boss is also a very talkative person, and he couldn't help but ask.

Zeng Lao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not, if you paint Chinese paintings, your cinnabar is not enough." ”

The boss was a little anxious: "How can it not be enough to see? My cinnabar, but the best in the whole feng shui street, I don't believe you go to the second one to see ......."

Zeng Lao smiled and said: "Boss, don't worry, I mean, the Chinese red used by people who paint Chinese paintings, the top one, should be Zhangzhou's 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay'." ”

As soon as these words came out, the boss stopped.

"That's right!" Tang Chen suddenly remembered, it seemed that there was no need to buy any cinnabar by himself, this is Fujian Province, and the Zhangzhou Eight Treasure Seal Clay in Fujian Province is famous all over the world, why did he forget this stubble?

The boss said stupidly: "How can this be compared, you always think about it, how terrifying is the production process of 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay'? This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the 'Eight Treasures Printing Clay' is not expensive to be fake. Not to mention the other ingredients of 'Eight Treasures Seal Mud', what pearls, agate, musk, amber, coral, monkey dates, borneol and mugwort and other eight rare materials, mixed with castor oil, aged oil, magenta, moxa wool, made with careful ingredients and special technology, I only slightly refined cinnabar, how to compare!"

Tang Chen smiled and said, "Boss, you don't have to be so frustrated. In ancient times, this 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' was a tribute, and it can be said to be the best pigment, but it is normal. But many times, the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is not useful. For example, in places where feng shui is not good, or where the evil qi is too heavy, the use of cinnabar has an obvious effect of suppressing evil spirits. If it's the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay', the effect will be worse. ”

Zeng Lao was stunned: "Isn't the 'Eight Treasure Seal Clay' the best cinnabar?"

"Yes and no......"

Tang Chen said with a smile, "In Feng Shui, cinnabar is collected through the veins of the essence of the sun and the moon, and because it absorbs the righteous qi of heaven and earth, it has an extremely strong aura. Cinnabar is different from jade and dzi that is cold in the hand, and it is warm in the palm of the hand, that is to say, cinnabar is an aura with extremely strong yang energy. Dafan Taoists, immortals and Buddhas are used to open light, ward off evil spirits, suppress evil, etc., and cinnabar must be used. The world has always regarded it as the best for good luck, evil spirits, and blessings and wealth. Because cinnabar belongs to the six crystal veins, the collection process is extremely difficult, and it is even more difficult to refine into pure ore, so the cinnabar products cast into the body Buddha statue are even more superior. Therefore, cinnabar ornaments are a must-have for the town's house, avoiding evil, good luck, and praying for blessings and wealth.

And the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is mixed with too many other things, but it is not pure enough. Therefore, it is okay to draw talismans, but if it is a town house, avoiding evil, good luck, praying for blessings and wealth, etc., the effect will be worse. This is not to say that the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' is bad, on the contrary, if you use the 'Eight Treasures Seal Clay' to draw the talisman, the quality of the talisman will be even higher. It's just that in terms of application, it's a little bit worse......"

After listening to Tang Chen's explanation, the boss was also a little surprised: "Are you a feng shui master?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, just know a little bit about ......"

Tang Chen flatly denied it, Zeng Lao didn't expose it, he knew what Tang Chen meant, there was no need to expose his profession here.

The boss nodded: "So it depends on what you are used for, if it is an ordinary usage, my cinnabar is enough." ”

Tang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "How much is a gram of your cinnabar?"

"Two, I'm not a pharmacy......" The boss smiled bitterly, "We don't do a one-gram or two-gram business, if we want to sell it, at least we will sell it all ......"

"A bucket?!"

Tang Chen was a little surprised, "So much?"

"It's not a bucket, it's a unified system. Unification is one kilogram, which is the jargon we use to buy and sell cinnabar...... "The owner explained.

Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss, I was almost scared to death by you." If it's really a bucket, I don't know when I'll use it!"

The boss smiled: "Even if it is a monk and Taoist priest who comes to wholesale, he buys it with sacks and sacks, so why won't he take a bucket back?"

Zeng Lao asked, "How much is the unification?"

The boss was also honest and said: "Most of the cinnabar on the market is 500 yuan, and my cinnabar is of better quality, although it is wholesale, the price will not be too cheap." ”

Tang Chen nodded, he also knew about this situation. The reason why cinnabar is more expensive than other cinnabar is that in addition to its reputation, quality is also a big factor. If it is a real Taoist priest and a real feng shui master, he would rather use second-class cinnabar than cinnabar produced elsewhere, because the effect is not half a star. Especially when the light is opened, if there is a slight mistake, the previous efforts will be wasted. So even if cinnabar is a little more expensive, many people still choose cinnabar.

Tang Chen was naturally no exception, he smiled and said: "Boss, you say a price, anyway, it's a business, and the price is all over the sky, so pay back the money on the spot!"

The boss thought for a while: "If you want less, I can only sell it for 700 yuan, and if you want more than 500 yuan, I can give you 680 yuan for a unified price." ”

Zeng Lao nodded, indicating that it was meaningless.

Tang Chen thought for a while and said, "The five unifications are ten catties, right? It's not too much, then it's good to have the five unifications." ”

The boss was stunned: "You don't make a counteroffer?"

Tang Chen shook his head: "Forget it, the counteroffer is also something for a few yuan, we are in a hurry." ”

The boss felt that remorse in his heart, why didn't he see that the two of them were "local tyrants"? This would be the light outside the store, so that he could see clearly. Tang Chen's clothes were mediocre, but they were made of Zeng's old clothes, which were definitely not affordable for ordinary people.

"I'm rubbing, it's really out of sight, and I'm making a hundred dollars less...... How much cinnabar do I have to sell to earn it back?" The boss was about to cry in his heart, although he didn't just sell cinnabar to make a living, but the loss of a hundred yuan still made him feel painful.
