Chapter 68: Moonstone
Just when everyone was worried about the entrance tax, a slightly old voice came from behind Ouyang Feng: "Young man, if you plan to sell that night pearl, the old man is willing to buy it." Ouyang Feng looked back and saw an old man with a white beard standing not far behind Ouyang Feng and his party, followed by several sturdy guards in leather armor, who should be the head of a caravan or someone with a certain status.
Ouyang Feng blinked his eyes and said, "Do you really want to buy it? How much can you pay? uh, gold coins?"
The old man smiled faintly and said, "This is not the place to talk, I think we should talk after we enter the city." ”
Ouyang Feng shrugged helplessly and said, "Our money bag has been lost, and now we don't even have a city entry tax, otherwise we wouldn't have planned to sell my family heirloom." "Hongshang and the others are crazy when they hear this, and they are still family heirlooms? In the cave, this thing is plastered all over the wall.
The old man smiled faintly, waved his hand, and one of the guards beside him took out two gold coins and handed them to the little leader and said, "There are twelve of us, plus them are exactly twenty." ”
The little leader took the gold coin, and said to the old man with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper Qin is back, this harvest must be not small." ”
The old man smiled and said, "It's okay." With that, he strode into the city gate with a group of guards.
Qingfeng walked up to Ouyang Feng and asked, "What now?"
Ouyang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else can I do? Anyway, the entry tax has already been paid, of course it is to enter the city." ”
Qingfeng pouted and said, "I'm asking if you want to sell the moonstone now? That thing seems to be very valuable, won't it attract attention?"
Ouyang Feng said helplessly: "I have already taken it out, and there is no other way, not to mention that we also need gold coins to live, eat, and buy things." Qingfeng felt that it was the same, so he didn't say anything more, and followed Ouyang Feng as a bodyguard.
While speaking, Ouyang Feng and his entourage had already entered the city gate, and in front of them was a wide bluestone road, lined with shops of different heights, large and small, and further away was a neat stone house, which should be the residence of the residents.
Seeing Ouyang Feng and his party coming, the old man surnamed Qin, who was standing next to a carriage, smiled slightly and said, "A few little friends should be coming to Hengshan City for the first time, right?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "That's right, Shopkeeper Qin, right? Let's talk about the price first." ”
The old man surnamed Qin shook his head and said: "Don't worry, people come and go here, aren't you afraid of being targeted by people with intentions?" I think you should go back to my Qinyang business house with me first, no one will disturb you there, and I can guarantee your safety." Ouyang Feng looked at the old man surnamed Qin, then at the guards around him, hesitated for a long time and did not speak.
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Qin smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you are not worried about me, and yes, it is better to be cautious when you go out." Let's go ten minutes further, there are a lot of restaurants there, you can pick one at random, how about we talk while eating?"
Ouyang Feng glanced at the others, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it, hehe." You lead the way, we follow. The old man surnamed Qin didn't ink, nodded and got into the carriage, and walked forward under the protection of more than a dozen guards.
Following behind the carriage, Ouyang Feng put his arm around Pei Di's shoulders and asked, "I'll give you a task, hurry up to the shop on the side of the road and inquire about the price here, and how much gold is a night pearl worth." ”
Pedi nodded, walked a few quick steps into a grocery store on the side of the road, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered: "Boss, how do you sell the salt here? Five silver coins a pound? Oh." How much is the hoe?" After inquiring about the prices of several commodities, Pei Di turned around and left, and after returning to Ouyang Feng to tell him the price he had inquired about, he ran to another shop.
Along the way, Pedi went in and out of more than a dozen shops, and finally came to a shop that sold jewelry and asked the guy directly: "Do you have any night pearls?"
The guy was stunned when he heard this, looked at Pei Di's outfit and glared at him and said, "You're here to make trouble, right?" Night Pearl, that thing is something for tens of thousands of gold coins, can you afford it?"
The guy at the jewelry store saw Pedi leave with a smile, spat on the ground and said, "It turned out to be a **." ”
Along the way, Pei Di's offer, Ouyang Feng also roughly analyzed the price of the world world, if converted into RMB, a copper coin is equal to one dollar, a silver coin is equal to ten yuan, and a gold coin is equal to one hundred yuan, Ouyang Feng calculated, if the moonstone in his hand can really buy 10,000 gold coins, it is equivalent to buying 1 million yuan, this price, uh, Ouyang Feng doesn't know whether the road is high or low, after all, he was a poor ghost before, and he couldn't touch these luxury goods at all.
With a certain understanding, Ouyang Feng no longer hesitated, and walked a few steps quickly to the guards who followed the carriage and said, "Tell Shopkeeper Qin, that's it." As he spoke, he pointed to an inconspicuous small restaurant on the side of the road.
The carriage stopped, and the old man surnamed Qin took four guards and Ouyang Feng and his party to a private room on the second floor. The inside of the private room is very spacious, with a round table that can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time, the old man surnamed Qin sits in the main seat, the four guards stand on both sides, Ouyang Feng, Qingfeng, Mingyue and Hongshang sit opposite the surname Qin, and Pei Di, Rice Bucket, Barlow and Bruce stand behind the four of them like guards.
Ouyang Feng turned his head and said in surprise: "How many of you are sitting, what are you doing standing in the back?"
Pei Di scratched his head and whispered, "Doesn't it seem that a few masters are imposing?" ”
Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Mao's momentum, we are doing business and not negotiating, so hurry up and sit down." After speaking, Shi's mother seemed to say to the guard behind the old man surnamed Qin: "How many of you are also sitting, aren't you tired of standing?"
The old man surnamed Qin smiled and said to the guards behind him, "You guys should sit down too." Hearing this, the leader of the guards looked embarrassed, hesitated, and still sat carefully next to the old man surnamed Qin.
Seeing everyone seated, the guy from the restaurant ran over and respectfully handed over the menu and said, "Shopkeeper Qin is here, I don't know what you want to eat?"
Qin handed the menu to Ouyang Feng to the old man and said, "A few little friends haven't eaten yet, have they? ”
Ouyang Feng picked up the menu and looked at the price, so he was not polite, and ordered ten vegetarian dishes and twenty meat dishes in one go, two soups, two desserts, and ten pots of wine. The guys in the restaurant were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and Ouyang Feng ordered more expensive dishes, and the profits of this table could catch up with what they usually earned in a day.
After the guy left, the old man surnamed Qin Wen Yan said: "I am the president of the Qinyang Chamber of Commerce, and my name is Qin Yang.
Ouyang Feng felt that the words of the old man surnamed Qin were a little familiar, and when his mind turned, he remembered that it seemed that he didn't know whether the great god or the monster in Journey to the West asked Tang Seng like this, so he subconsciously replied: "I came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures." As soon as the words came out, Ouyang Feng knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "That, in fact, we are the Street Fighter Mercenary Group, this is our big boss Chunli, he is the second boss Dugan, that is the third boss Gaga Brugan, I am the fourth boss is good and rooted, they only have members, Pedy, Gerald, Barlow and Bruce." Let's come here to see and experience by the way. ”
The old man surnamed Qin didn't tell the truth and didn't intend to ask, but just smiled faintly and said: "It's a good thing that young people have experienced more things, I admire you for having such courage, and now there are not many young people like you." ”
Ouyang Feng smiled modestly and said, "Oh, a few of us are just bold, and we can't get close to courage at all, hehe." At this moment, the guy from the restaurant knocked on the door and came in and put the dishes on the table.
Ouyang Feng squinted at the guy and said, "So fast, you shouldn't have brought us the leftovers, right?"
The guy shook his head again and again and said, "No, absolutely not, but all kinds of delicacies in our store are made early in the morning and put in the boss's storage bracelet, so that there is no need to wait when a distinguished guest comes." ”
Ouyang Feng said in surprise: "Storage bracelet?"
The guy said with some smugness, "That's right, our boss is a very powerful magician. Ouyang Feng nodded abruptly.
The amount of dishes in this restaurant is very large, more than 30 dishes, and a large table full of large plates and small bowls. The old man surnamed Qin symbolically took a bite of food and didn't move his chopsticks again, and then looked at Ouyang Feng and the others with a smile. Hongshang is a girl after all, and she is a little embarrassed, but she can't stand Ouyang Feng to pick up vegetables for her overnight, and the mountain treasures here are really delicious, and after the last, Hongshang ate almost three servings of vegetarian dishes alone, and she really couldn't eat it, so she was embarrassed to put down her chopsticks.
Ouyang Feng and the others put down their chopsticks one after another, drank tea, and waited for the rice bucket that was still sweeping, and when the rice bucket drank the last bowl of mushroom soup into their stomachs, Ouyang Feng and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Calling the guy to clean up the table again, Ouyang Feng directly took out the moonstone and handed it to the old man surnamed Qin and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, you take a look first, and then give a price." The old man surnamed Qin couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Ouyang Feng just throw the moonstone on the table, carefully picked up the moonstone and wiped it with a handkerchief, and then looked at it carefully.
After a while, the old man surnamed Qin looked at Ouyang Feng suspiciously and said, "What a little friend, why do I think this night pearl seems to have been processed?" Ouyang Feng didn't know much about moonstones, so he looked at Qingfeng, Mingyue and Hongsheng.
