Chapter 8, Water and Snow, I

At this moment, there are nearly 100 stalls in the entire floating fence corner, and a street is densely paved, among which there are hundreds of precious items, or even nearly 1,000 stone coins, but none of them can have the stalls in front of the gray-shirted young man.

Many stall owners looked in that direction enviously, wondering what this person was selling, and how he could attract so many people.

Such a popular stall, even if it has always been, is rare, unless there are some really rare treasures, but such things, in this small Shiyan Town, the number of appearances is too rare, and it is not seen once in decades.

Could it be that today, there is another failure?

Everyone was curious, but it was inconvenient to go over to watch, only to see that no matter men and women, young and old, rich or poor, as long as they gathered around and took a look, there were almost few who could move away again, tickling many stall owners in their hearts.

Many stall owners can't wait to immediately take their stalls and watch them, but there are still customers on their side, but it is inconvenient to leave immediately, and they are so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks.

Many people gathered around it, smoking, and kept asking the price.

"Little brother, how do you sell these things?"

"Yes, what kind of 'lamp' are you, I look good, I want this flower and bird lamp, how much is it?"

Seeing that someone finally asked the price, the gray-shirted young man seemed to have a price in his heart, and replied with a smile: "Thirty stone coins each!"

"What, thirty stone coins, so expensive?"

Beside him, many people were surprised when they heard this, and their eyes widened.

Thirty stone coins, that is almost half a year's savings of an ordinary family, with so much money to buy an ornament, obviously not worth it, even the blue-shirted man who asked the price before, and couldn't help but quietly put down the lantern in his hand in embarrassment.

He originally thought that a few stone coins would be enough at most, but he didn't expect that as soon as the gray-shirted young man opened his mouth, it would be a lion's big mouth, and such a lantern made of paper paste bamboo bones would actually cost thirty stone coins each.

He can barely take out less than ten, and thirty, even if he dares, he will not be beaten into a pig's head by his old woman when he goes back.

The enthusiasm of the onlookers faded a lot, and many people shook their heads, thinking that most of the lanterns of the gray-shirted young man could not be sold.

These lanterns are novel and gorgeous, unique, and good, but the price is too expensive, and it is impossible for ordinary people to be willing to spend money to buy them.

However, although they can't afford it, people still huddle around it, reluctant to leave, and even if they can't afford it, it's a haode to see.

No one had ever seen such a thing before, and he might not have a chance again in the future, so he crowded in front of Tang Gu's stall one by one, and was amazed by the ten lanterns he had put out.

Seeing this, the gray-shirted young man still had a calm look, unhurried, and seemed to have no concern at all about everyone's behavior of only looking at and not buying, and he was not in a hurry.

I saw that he turned on the fire spark, and slowly lit the remaining lanterns one by one, and in an instant, those lanterns all emitted colorful, brilliant and blurry light, or crimson or light purple or warm blue or light green, illuminating this small piece next to the corner of the floating railing, like being in a sea of lights.

Ten lanterns of different colors, different shapes, and different sizes all bloomed with their peerless brilliance, and they were like a dream for a while, and they were extremely beautiful, and the people on the side of the road couldn't help but be obsessed with them.

They had never seen such a dreamlike scene, they were all stunned for a while, and suddenly they couldn't move.

Next to the booth in front of the gray-shirted young man, there were more people gathered.

Seeing this, a smile gradually appeared in the eyes of the gray-shirted young man.

Another shijie's various lanterns, developed for thousands of years, have long been perfect, although the gray-shirted youth does not expect to do as well as another shijie, but after all, he has seen a lot, the picture is fresh, and it can still be done to attract attention for a short time.

It is inevitable that so many colorful and distinctive lanterns of later generations will be placed together to cause a sensation.

Therefore, the gray-shirted young man was not in the slightest hurry, he was actually waiting, waiting for those who were really willing to buy his lanterns.

Since the time he came here, the gray-shirted young man had no intention of selling these lanterns to the general public, and the reason why he shouted the sky-high price of thirty stone coins in one breath was also because he had his own plans.

The production process of this lantern is simple, the material is ordinary, I believe that after today, I am afraid that it will be sold a few more times, and soon someone will be able to imitate it, and the imitation is better than their own.

Therefore, this kind of business is almost a wave of flow, can only be fresh, once the freshness passes, he can no longer earn the slightest wealth from it, so either not sell, to sell, just take advantage of this freshness to make a profit, otherwise, it will not be able to meet his growing demand for stone coins.

The price is too low, which is contrary to his original intention, and the price is too high, and he is afraid that others will not be able to afford it. Therefore, the price of thirty stone coins should be just right, no more, no less, and there should still be some rich people who can afford it.

And he's waiting for this kind of person.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for such a high-priced lantern that had never been seen before to attract the attention of many people, and the situation of the gray-shirted young man here soon spread throughout the market, and the crowd around him suddenly became even more.

In front of the gray-shirted youth stall, there are three floors inside and three floors outside, and there are people everywhere, all of them point to the lanterns in front of the stalls, and they are amazed and discussed, and this place has become a small storm point in the market.

As the crowd increased, the best sales objects in the hearts of the gray-shirted youths, some young ladies of the family and daughters of the big families, finally rushed over with the crowd.

Seeing this, the smile in the eyes of the gray-shirted young man became even more determined.

Speaking of which, what the gray-shirted young man wants to sell is these young ladies of the family who like novelty and prey, and the daughters of the family.

Because they are the only ones who have money and are willing to spend it, they are more likely to like these things.

Finally, in the crowd, a beautiful girl wearing a light red palace costume couldn't resist the attraction of these beautiful lanterns on the gray-shirted young man's stall, and after asking the price, she took out thirty stone coins from her arms, handed them to the gray-shirted young man, pointed to a lotus palace lantern with a blue lantern, and said, "Thirty stone coins, I want this." ”

"Good. ”

The gray-shirted young man nodded in agreement, and then picked out the lotus palace lamp that the palace girl needed, handed it to her, and explained the method of playing.

Who knows, after the palace girl took away the palace lamp, she did not leave immediately, but looked at the gray-shirted young man in front of him with a curious face, the most brilliant bright yellow marquee, and asked: "Stallholder, what do you mean by these little people painted on the strange lamp that will continue to rotate?"

The gray-shirted young man was not afraid of someone asking, but he was afraid that no one would ask, so he immediately smiled slightly and told her about it vividly.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a poor scholar named Liu Mengmei, who accidentally dreamed that under the plum tree in a garden, there was a peerless beauty, saying that he had a marriage with him, and since then he has often missed her.

There is a talented and beautiful girl surnamed Du in Nan'an, after returning from the garden once, in a drowsy sleep, I saw a scholar with half a weeping willow to court, the two had a tryst by the peony pavilion, and then they were depressed and emaciated, and they couldn't afford to be sick......

Subsequently, the plum blossom thin hermitage, the dream plum went to Beijing, the portrait under the Taihu Lake stone, the dream and soul meet, the tomb is dug and the coffin is opened, the dead are brought back to life, etc., and so on, and so on, and the ...... of the heart."

The gray-shirted young man spoke for half an hour before he finished speaking, and the people around him, including the girl in palace costume, were all stunned, still immersed in the situation of the story, unable to extricate themselves.

Such a lingering and sympathetic, strange and clever story, even in another shijie, it has also been passed down through the ages, and it has not been mourned for a long time, not to mention, the girl who has never heard such a story and a group of onlookers.

Everyone was fascinated, sad or angry, sad or happy for the characters in the story, and they were emotional, but they didn't expect that a lamp could contain such a rich story.

In an instant, in front of the stall on the side of the gray-shirted young man, there were more people gathered, because of the appearance of this beautiful story, some other women from the family who were still hesitant couldn't help but take out stone coins to buy.

......

I'm sorry, it's late, the words are weighed, the beginning is not easy, a chapter has to be written for five or six hours, and the third is more likely to be moved to tomorrow daylight, I'm really sorry.

I'll make it up tomorrow.
