Originally a small town, it was later developed into a bazaar by Daliang, where about 2,000 soldiers were stationed.

The field is vertical and horizontal on three main streets, with stalls and shops, lined up one after another. Hu people, Tubo people, Liang people, Qiang people, merchants from neighboring countries, cattle, sheep and horses and other live animals that defecate in the open, all kinds of leather goods from hunting, dried meat, raisins, walnuts, miscellaneous ......

There are rules in the market, it is strictly forbidden to sell salt and iron, and gold, silver and copper are not allowed to be used as currency, and the transaction mode is barter.

The purpose of Song Che and Tang Hulu's visit to the market this time was not only to sell goods, but also to make market surveys, so they did not lease the store, picked a vacant land, and set up a stall.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and there will be no shortage of buyers when the goods are good.

"Hey! And voila! There are silk merchants! ”

There was no need to even sell it, merchants from all over the world flocked to it.

"Wow, this feel, this material, this color, friend, how do you sell this silk?"

"Authentic big horse, one horse for forty silk, can this business be done?"

"Forty silks for one horse? You tricked me Tang Hulu and didn't do business? Open your eyes and see, this is authentic Suzhou silk, Daliang's premier good goods, thirty-five horses of silk are considered to be your bargain!

And you, just look at it, don't touch it, I want you to accompany you if it is broken! ”

Fortunately, there is Tang Hulu, an old Jianghu earthquake field!

Song Che was really at a loss for the first time when he traded with people.

"Boss Song, don't be stunned, people ask you for the price." Tang Hulu rubbed Song Che, who was stunned.

Song Che said bitterly: "He said two buckets of raisins, in exchange for one piece of cloth for me, what do I want...... Or don't? ”

Tang Hulu said: "If you think the raisins are delicious, then you can buy them at the same price; If you want to exchange a good horse, then exchange thirty-five pieces of cloth with him, and if you feel that the price is not equal, then bargain with him...... In short, what we are selling now is a hot item, and the choice lies with us. ”

"Uh...... Boss Tang, what do you want to change? ”

"Of course, I changed the jewelry, this thing is easy to carry, and it can be processed and sold after bringing it back to the girder; There is really no jewelry, but leather goods can also be sold to your ready-to-wear stores, made into fur coats, and when winter comes, they can be pulled to the cold north to sell, and they will definitely make a lot of money. ”

"Then I'll get a ten-pound beef jerky first, exchange it for a satin, and transport it back tomorrow to satisfy Xiang'er's cravings?"

"Ten pounds! That's too little! That's too little! Such a good satin will cost him at least fifteen pounds! ”

All right!

This old Persian fox is better at doing business than Song Che!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Do you dare to exchange some crooked melons and cracked dates for silk? Give way to our master's house! ”

The crowd was pushed away by several strong men, and a man in his thirties, wearing a jeweled headband, strode to the front of the stall.

His facial features are very three-dimensional, with single eyelids, brown pupils, a high nose bridge, but his cheekbones are like Liang Ren, and his face appears flat.

Whether it is a foreigner or a Liang person, it is not clear.

In short, looking at temperament and dress, it should be a big customer.

The hairband man picked up the silk, stroked it, and nodded: "Well, it's good, it's good material." ”

There is a little bit of a northwest accent, but it is also quite standard official dialect.

Tang Hulu also saw that this was a big customer, the original high posture, instantly became humble and polite, "This boss has good eyesight, this batch of cloth originated in Suzhou, Jiangnan, from reeling silk and peeling cocoons, to playing silk weaving, each horse has been skillfully handed by the weaver girl, in terms of quality, color, value, it is second to none." ”

The hairband man glanced at Song Che and Tang Hulu, and asked, "The two of you are a family?" ”

Tang Hulu smiled: "Yes, one goods, two sales." ”

"How many good cloths like this do you have?" The hairband man asked again.

"We've got a dozen left—"

"Hey."

Song Che interrupted Tang Hulu's words and said: "Today is the first time I have come to the field, I only brought these two cars, and some of them are in the warehouse, all of them are first-class goods, if this boss is interested, we can find a teahouse and sit down and have a good talk." ”

Although the field is prosperous, it is mixed with dragons and snakes, how can you easily reveal your old background on the street?

The man with the hairband lowered his head and smiled, took out a piece of white jade the size of half a palm from his sleeve, and handed it to Song Che: "This piece of jade, including your two truckloads of goods, is it worth it?" ”

Tang Hulu held the white jade, shone at the sun, his eyes were like copper bells, his mouth could stuff eggs, and he nodded again and again:

"Feasible! Feasible! It's so doable! ”

The man with the hairband didn't say much, but beckoned to his subordinates, who brought two carriages and began to move goods from the stalls.

"This boss, doing business, there is a first time, there is a second time, do you still need silk? We still have one in the warehouse. Tang Hulu asked with a smile.

The man with the headband only said lightly: "Let's talk about it." When all the silk was loaded into the wagon, he departed with his men.

Song Che looked at the back of leaving satisfied, this business was doing too well, but it made him feel that something was wrong.

"Boss Song, we're making a lot of money this time!" Tang Hulu shook the jade in front of Song Che's eyes and asked, "Do you know what kind of jade this is?" ”

Where did Song Che know? But looking at the old fox's shiny eyes, he knew that this thing must be worth a lot.

"This is mutton fat jade, right?" Nangong Yue and Lu Jingxiang looked at the jade, their eyes shining.

"Miss Nangong is really good eyesight, this is mutton fat jade! Look at this color, this texture, this water head, this oiliness, this hardness, this structure, it is simply the best! ”

Tang Hulu was full of praise: "With such a large piece of jade, you can make at least four jade pendants, and it is not a problem to sell one for 1,800 taels." ”

Nangong Yue said: "In the past, when I was in the Red Mansion, a rich businessman wanted to give me this mutton fat jade pendant, he said that it was worth at least a thousand taels of silver, and I saw that the piece he gave was not as good as the one in front of me." ”

"Then Sister Nangong, do you want it?" Lu Jingxiang's eyes were envious.

Nangong Yue shook her head: "Such valuable things, most of them were stolen from his wife, where did I dare to accept them, so I refused." ”

Lu Jingxiang said with a smile: "If I accept it, the beauty is like jade, and the jade raises the beauty, hehe." ”

"Since you like it so much, Boss Tang cut off the other half, and I'll give it to you." Song Che said lightly.

"Really?"

"Just don't let Wen Jun and the others know."

"Then I'll cut it!"

Lu Jingxiang snatched the jade from Tang Hulu's hand.

Tang Hulu was not disappointed, and he didn't dare to snatch it back, so he could only mutter: "Miss Lu, you have to cut it evenly, but you can't lose the weight, and it must be smooth, follow the lines, I also want to create a piece of ...... for Dina and her mother."

Tang Hulu and Lu Jingxiang went to the side to discuss how to divide the jade.

"Boss, what are your concerns?" Nangong Yue followed Song Che's line of sight and looked at the man with the hairband who had disappeared into the sea of people.

Song Che said: "Our two carts of silk have a premium of 1,000 taels, but this piece of jade is worth 3 or 4,000 taels." I don't think the man is a stupid man, how can he not know that the price is not equal? ”

Nangong Yue said: "Maybe this kind of jade is nothing in his eyes, he doesn't care?" ”

"Even a Persian knows that mutton fat jade is very expensive, how can he, a jade seller, not know...... Business, that's not what he did. ”

"Do you want me to follow him and find out what he's doing?"

"He didn't deceive us either, it's really rude to follow us...... Alas, forget it, maybe my suspicion is committed again. ”

Song Che shook his head and smiled, and said, "Today's fortune is the head, let's go, let's go to the field and see if we can find the fire cloth that Wen Jun has in her heart." ”

"Hmm."
