Chapter 645: A Collection of Curiosities (Addition)
But Yan Saburo said firmly: "Reliable." Can you check again, maybe it's missing, maybe the book is forgotten. ”
Chitose followed up: "Or, the person you asked didn't do their best, or didn't tell the truth." ”
"The people I'm looking for are very reliable. Zhuang Nanjia scratched his head, "Do you know how difficult it is to find someone here who is willing to collect money to do things?
Yan Saburo smiled bitterly: "I happen to know." ”
Whether it is the boatman or Zheng Yi, when it comes to the gods, they are extremely pious, and they are conscientious in their work. However, when the forest is big, there will be any kind of bird, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of civilians in the Tibetan country, and it seems not surprising that there are a few people who love money and are not so sincere to the gods.
"I'll think about it again, maybe I don't know what happened back then. Zhuang Nanjia sighed, "I also hope that you will get what you want, but don't expect too much." ”
If he can help Yan Saburo with this, he can ask for the two in front of him in return.
Zhuang Nanjia couldn't help yawning, stood up and said, "I'll go back to make up for sleep first, the event starts today, you might as well go shopping, it's very lively." ”
......
Walking out of the Zhuxian Tower, following the direction of the flow of people, you can easily find Sanssouci Valley.
The architecture here is exquisite, not inferior to Zhu Xianlou, and it is obviously a unified plan, with continuous arcades to divide the valley into two long streets.
The shops of the arcade are all owned by the government, and there are many signboards of various fonts. Every seafarer who passes by understands that this is the official store opened by Xincha, and Tong Su is not deceived.
Of course, the price is also worthy of the quality.
As for the stalls on the street, they are much more casual, and they are claimed by black-robed customers with number plates. Each person can claim it for five hours a day, and after placing the goods, he will become a stall owner, waiting for buyers to come to the door.
When Yan Saburo walked to Sanssouci Valley, the good places on the street were basically occupied, and the crowds were weaving, and it was many times more lively than the small island market he visited yesterday.
Because of the matter of Cangwu Stone, Chitose was originally a little irritable, but at this time, he was tickled in his heart: "It's all here, let's go to Qilinxuan to have a look." Zhuang Nanjia's old thing may not be reliable. "It is better to hear than to see.
There are a total of seven official brands in Sanssouci Valley, and the number of stores has reached more than 30. For example, Qilinxuan, there is one on the street, at the end of the street, and one in the street, and the store is not big, but it often appears in the field of vision of seafarers.
Yan Saburo understood at a glance: "It seems that these official brands are still competing with each other." ”
Chitose smiled: "They are all opened by Xincha, I remember that there are about 20 people in Xincha in the Tibetan country." In addition to being a god stick at ordinary times, it is not bad to engage in some side hustles to generate income at this time. ”
The two walked into the Qilin Xuan at the end of the street.
Entering the door is a blood-red coral tree with a height of two zhang (six meters), the branches are intact, almost as thick as the real tree, which is magnificent, and it is rare that there is no trace of variegation throughout the body.
This treasure alone can be put into any chamber of commerce as a treasure of the town council if it is taken to Middle-earth. However, Tsubazaburo knew that it was just a beautiful decoration here, because the bottom was surrounded by white sand, starfish, and shells, and some bird ferns, which made the place look like the bottom of the sea.
Because of the presence of blood-red coral, seafarers who enter the door have higher expectations for the objects here.
The items for sale are placed on red velvet cushions, covered with crystal covers, and there is a special person on the side to explain.
Chitose also saw that people kept coming up with new products and placing them outside for people to enjoy, which showed that the business in the inner hall was also extremely hot.
To put it simply, an official brand like Kirin Xuan is to work as an intermediary, collecting things from others and reselling them to seafarers. As soon as it was reversed, it made a full difference.
But who makes it credible?
For those precious treasures that are easy to cause disputes, the owner still has to hand them over to the official brand name to feel at ease. Because when these things are sold from the official brand, they have nothing to do with it.
Both of them had good ears, and then they heard a seaman on the side pointing to the contents of the crystal cover and exclaiming: "Isn't this the medicine tripod stolen by Mrs. Xian?"
"Mrs. Xian of Bai Heng Mountain?" his companion sighed twice, "There are white dots on a red background, and the sign also indicates that it is 'Snow Trace Plum Shadow', is it really Mrs. Xian's beloved thing?"
Yan Saburo followed the sound, and sure enough, there was a palm-sized small tripod in the crystal cover, which was the same color as the blood-red coral at the entrance, but the surface was covered with snowflake-like white spots...... It's a very unique look, and it's no wonder that Madame String gave it a tasteful name.
Of course, in the end, this is still a medicine pod. Yan Saburo knows that Haoding can greatly improve the probability and quality of Cheng Dan, so this is a good thing with a price.
The seafarer stepped forward and asked the guy on the side, "Is this really Mrs. Xian's stolen medicine pod?"
"It's like a fake. The guy smiled, "If the guest officer wishes, we can test a furnace of elixir on the spot." ”
Haike nodded: "Okay, try refining a furnace of Dragon and Tiger Jindan, I just have the materials here." ”
He was about to take out the medicinal herbs, but the guy's smile did not decrease: "Wait a minute, guest officer, please show the spirit coin first." ”
The so-called spirit coin is a token officially issued by the Hidden Nation and limited to use on Crystal Island. This place is full of gold and silver, but the leaves are used as tokens, and Chitose found it really interesting when he saw it for the first time.
The leaves are oval, only half the length of the tail finger, slightly thicker than rice paper, its color is like jadeite, and it is also as transparent as jadeite, but it is very flexible when stroked, and there is no coldness of jade.
Such a leaf in the hand is like a handicraft. Without any frills, each leaf is marked with a number to indicate its amount.
One, five, twenty, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, the highest face value is one hundred thousand.
The ratio of spirit coins to gold and silver is one to ten thousand, that is, one spirit coin of the lowest denomination, which is also equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver in the world!
With such a conversion, the fluttering leaves immediately give people the illusion of weighing more than a thousand catties.
That's the magic of money.
And on the Crystal Island, only unilateral payment is made, that is, seafarers are allowed to exchange spirit coins for gold and silver, but they are not allowed to come in reverse. This may sound unfair, but Haike rarely raises objections, and the reason is simple:
The people who came from far and wide carried very little gold and silver.
Due to the passage order, everyone could only enter the fog wall alone, and there were cost and weight restrictions, so what they brought with them must have been far more valuable than gold and silver - gold and silver were too heavy, how much could one person pick?
