After walking on the mountain for so many days, there was a lot of mud on the scabbard, which looked inferior to the lowest-grade weapons in the blacksmith shop in the town, of course, Qin Ke knew very well how sharp the blade hidden in it was.

That night, the mountain rain was pouring, he had to find a cave to sleep, who knew that he had strayed into the bear cave, he would meet this demon bear, although with his cultivation, there was no difficulty in solving a demon bear, but he had been sleeping in the open for a few days, and thinking that the road down the mountain was long, he was really a little tired, so after solving this demon bear, he was also more cautious.

When the merchants heard Qin Ke's answer, they were in awe, and the merchant said excitedly: "Sure enough, he is a young hero, and at this age, he can only go up the mountain to fight and kill demon bears." ”

Chu Gou couldn't help but say on the side: "What a young hero, why do I think it's like bragging?"

"What nonsense, pig dog. The proprietress rolled her eyes and slapped Chu Gou's vest in pain, making him grin in pain, "You can't learn martial arts yourself, and you can't be a waste of wood like you when everyone else is like you?"

After saying a few words, the merchants no longer concealed their original purpose, and directly began to ask Qin Ke if he would make this demon bear skin.

If they don't have a unique vision, they don't have to work hard every year, but I'm afraid that they won't even be able to earn back their capital. And the demon bear skin that Qin Ke was wearing, in their opinion, was of excellent quality, even if it was not sold to those royal clansmen of the Tang Kingdom, it was a good income to sell to those families of the Mo family.

It's just that there is only one bear skin, and there are many merchants, so it is impossible to cut up this bear skin and divide it equally in a way that greatly damages the price of the bear skin, right?

So someone began to bid: "I'll pay fifty taels, what about the young man?"

The merchants scoffed and scolded him for being untruthful: "Don't say it's a whole demon bear skin, it's a broken demon bear skin, and the price charged is more than fifty taels, isn't it nonsense? If you are not sincere, leave as soon as possible, don't delay the rest of the young heroes!"

The merchant's face turned red, and he couldn't hold his face, and shouted: "Shut up, look at what you said, did I say fifty taels? I said one hundred and fifty taels!"

"One hundred and fifty taels?" Chu Gou was originally a little sullen because he was scolded by the proprietress, but when he heard this price, he was stunned for a while.

But what surprised him even more was still behind, and soon, someone said: "I'll give two hundred taels!"

"Two hundred and ten taels!"

"Three hundred taels!"

Once this bargaining began, it refused to stop like a storm, and the merchants were all swordsman, ridiculing each other and exposing each other's shortcomings, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were full of ugliness. And the price of this bear skin, in the midst of such a quarrel, rose to a high of nine hundred taels.

This price, the merchants have begun to weigh it, after all, they don't have much cash in their hands, maybe they can make some money after going to the Mo family to sell their goods, but now it is extremely difficult to take out nine hundred taels.

"I'll give you a thousand taels!" At this time, the first merchant who saw the precious bear skin on Qin Ke's body shouted loudly.

All eyes were on him.

Someone said sarcastically: "One thousand taels, don't say one thousand taels, just say that the nine hundred taels that Lao Jin said just now I doubt that he can take it out, everyone is a small businessman who crossed the border to smuggle in the Mo family, and it is considered solid if the family can have five hundred taels, let alone this one thousand taels? Lao Pang, tell me, can you stuff one thousand taels of silver in your baggage?"

The merchant known as Lao Pang also gritted his teeth and shouted this price, and when he heard the ridicule of the crowd, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who said I don't have a thousand taels?"

He stretched out his hand, took out the jade pendant from his arms, put it in front of Qin Ke, and said: "Look, this is a good jade inherited by my family, even if it is changed for two thousand taels, it is possible, I will exchange this thing with Shaoxia now, you have the ability, come up with something better than me!"

Qin Ke looked at the jade in front of him stupidly, he didn't say a word about the quarrel between the merchants just now, not that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't know what to say, who knew that his bear skin could still be sold for such a high price?

However, he looked at the jade pendant on the table, which was as white as mutton fat, and still shook his head and said, "I don't want this." ”

Someone in the merchant sneered: "Did you hear that, Lao Pang, just your broken jade pendant, it is estimated that it is not worth so much money, and people refuse to ask for it." ”

"No, no, no. Qin Ke was afraid that people would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "It's useless for me to ask for this jade, not to mention that this jade is your heirloom, and I can't take it." I plan to go east to Mo's house, but now I just lack some money to use for the journey, and this is a long way to go, so I have to buy a fast horse. ”

"So be it. Qin Ke thought for a moment and said, "I heard you say, you are also going to the Mo family? ”

This businessman, known as Lao Pang, looked at Qin Ke and was a little stunned for a while, looking at Qin Ke's meaning, did he make up his mind to sell this demon bear skin to himself?

Suddenly, his heart churned, but what was churning was not fear, but surprise. But just in case, he still whispered tentatively: "This...... Shaoxia, I don't know if you said less, how much money are you going to want?"

Qin Ke had a bitter face, although he was said to be from a poor background, but unfortunately, he did not learn the bargaining ability to churn with people's tongues.

Even when he went to buy the beef for Uncle Ji's inn, Uncle Ji had already said hello to the boss and set the price, so that Qin Ke would take it according to that price - if Qin Ke was allowed to go by himself, he was afraid that the price of a pound of beef would have to be doubled.

But then again, if you really want to make him so cheap, the old man in front of him doesn't seem to be able to say anything. Maybe I can take the time to go to Daoxiang Village to see the villagers when I go to Mojia this time...... There are also those flowers and plants in his yard, and I don't know if Uncle Ji has helped take care of them. If this animal skin can really be sold, the money in exchange for it will probably allow him to buy a lot of things for the villagers, right?

It's just that he hesitated for a while, and still didn't figure out how to set the price, listening to this meaning, it was much more fixed, but I was afraid that Lao Pang wouldn't be able to come up with so much money. But if he is set less, won't he make others unhappy and treat himself badly? After thinking about it, he couldn't think about it all, so he simply thought in his heart and said, "How much money do you have?"

His question not only made all the merchants stunned, but even the proprietress who was sitting on the side watching the excitement was also stunned, and then covered her mouth and chuckled.

Sounds like a mountain bandit robbing a road and asking people to hand over all their belongings, right?

Lao Pang understood what he meant, reached into the blanket and touched his money bag, weighed it, gritted his teeth again, and suddenly took the thing out of the blanket and put it in front of Qin Ke, colliding with the table with a muffled sound.

"Here are five hundred taels. ”

Before Qin Ke could say anything, the other merchants were a little dissatisfied, everyone was bidding seriously, why did you take out a jade pendant and say a few words, and the result was that you took advantage of it? You know, this demon bear skin, even if it is a thousand taels of silver, should be able to triple or even higher when sold to the right person.

As for taking this young man to the Mo family...... After all, they were going to go to the Mo family to do business, and they would even walk with each other on the way, begging for each other's attention. What is the impact of one more person? On the contrary, it is to see that this young man is extraordinary in martial arts and can fight and kill demon bears, if he walks with him, then even if he encounters those mountain bandits on the road, he can not be afraid.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, not to mention that now this good thing falls from the sky, where is there a reason not to fight or grab, soon, among the merchants, some of the merchants who bid more than five hundred taels sneered: "Just one thousand taels, now it has become five hundred taels, Lao Pang, you have the means, holding a piece of heirloom jade pendant and wanting to plug the young man's mouth, and pit him for hundreds of taels of silver in vain." Shaoxia wants to go to Mo's house, who can't bring it? We are willing to pay even if we pay for it, what you are doing is really not authentic. ”
