Chapter 9 What Makes Money?

The man laughed loudly: "Want to learn the Daofa, come with me!" said and took the lead in walking.

Wen Fei hesitated slightly, he was not the kind of child who did not know anything about the world. It's just that the heart of learning the Tao is very obsessed, so he followed the man.

After walking for about a few hundred meters, Wen Fei realized that he was actually not far from the market. I guess I was confused by the broken fox, so I couldn't see it.

There seemed to be faint traces of houses not far ahead, and the market was so simple that there were no fixed houses even during the day. It seems that I just built a few simple board houses with wooden planks or something, and I don't know if anyone has them.

After taking a few steps, I vaguely saw the outline of a house. When I got closer, I saw that the house was very simple, more like a broken shed.

The big man walked in directly, and then there was a click, and after a few clicks, an oil lamp was lit, and the dim light came through the crack in the door.

Wen Fei cautiously followed in, and as soon as he entered the house, Wen Fei began to regret it, good guy, Wen Fei's nose was about to be crooked with an unspeakable stench. Wen Fei's house was sloppy enough, and it was normal for the room to be cleaned only once a month and a month.

But the place where this guy lives has probably never been cleaned, and the smell of sweat, feet, and various odors mixed together and fermented is even a hundred times stronger than the smell of the men's dormitory in the university!

Wen Fei really couldn't sit still, so he quickly retreated, took a few big breaths of the cold night air in the countryside, and then felt that he was alive. Even the man seemed to know that the smell in his room was choking, and he blushed a little, but under the dim oil lamp, he was afraid that he couldn't see it.

"That Taoist priest, you brought so many things, did you come to the mule and horse market to sell?" the man asked directly.

Wen Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he had originally made up a set of words to deceive people, but the other party made it up in his own brain, so it would be better. In fact, he wants to ask what kind of son he is now, and it is better to ask which dynasty and which generation and which emperor is in charge. But he also knows that these things, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate to ask them!

"When is the market tomorrow?" Wen Fei asked.

The man glanced at Wen Fei in surprise: "There will be no tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow, and it will be the day after tomorrow!"

"What? There will be no market tomorrow?" Wen Fei was taken aback, in his memory, the market is not open 24 hours a day, at least you have to be open for 17 or 8 hours, right? Even if the conditions in ancient times were poor, at least it would be open every day, right?

"One episode in five days, don't you know, Dao Chief?" The man looked at Wen Fei in surprise: "This is the countryside, and there is one episode in five days." In some prosperous places, there are also ...... episodes in two days"

Wen Fei cried with a sad face, completely oblivious to what the man was talking about.

"You don't even know this, and you dare to run to the mule and horse market, aren't you afraid of being killed by the fan?"

Wen Fei asked, "Fanren?"

"Of course it's the Dang Xiang and the Tubo people, don't you know this?" the man's tone began to smell of suspicion.

Wen Fei had no choice but to smile bitterly, and before he could speak, the man said: "This is under the rule of Lanzhou, you always know!"

Lanzhou?Wen Fei hurriedly nodded, Lanzhou baked cakes, Lanzhou ramen, that is naturally very familiar!

"Daoist, are you buying things, or are you picking these things to sell?"

Wen Fei smiled bitterly: "We have a few more kitchen knives in the Taoist temple and can't use them up, so we can pick them out and sell them." ”

"Oh," the man sighed, but said, "Dao Chief, if you don't live in a strange place, your things are not worth a few dollars!"

Worthless? Wen Fei seemed to have received another big stick on the head, and his two eyes were almost Venus.

"This, this is a good steel knife!" Wen Fei exclaimed, a little aggrieved.

"This countryman, who can afford to use any too good steel knife, generally twenty or thirty wen iron knife is enough. More than a dozen texts can also be used. ”

"More than a dozen yuan?" Wen Fei wanted to cry when he heard this, what can a dozen dollars buy? It seems that it costs a penny to buy a big cake on TV, right?" "So a knife is only a dozen yuan? I would have known that I would have bought a kitchen knife from the supermarket for a few yuan a piece, and you would have come out to fool people!"

"It's these pots...... the man picked up all the things and flicked them again: "It's too thin...... I'm afraid it won't be long before the countrymen buy something, and they can't wait to use it for a lifetime!"

Wen Fei was completely speechless, it seemed that he was really not the material for business, and the first investment in his life had failed.

"So how much does a chicken cost??, and what about eggs?" Wen Fei remembered.

"Oh, this one isn't expensive. It's almost a few tens of cents......" The man said, "Eggs are cheaper, one or two cents a penny." ”

Wen Fei was completely speechless, it seems that the prices in ancient times were indeed not cheap? In his mind, a penny is a piece.

"Well, if you sell all these things, you'll be enough to buy a chicken!" said the man.

It's over, it cost more than 800 yuan, and the things I bought are only enough to buy a chicken. Nima, although the price of farmhouse chickens is very high now, more than 23 yuan per catty, but it is not outrageous to this price, right? What a cheat!

The man seemed to see that Wen Fei was frustrated, and said with a smile: "The countrymen can't afford your good knife, but those people can." Those of them don't know how to strike iron themselves, and they all rely on trade with our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia. Even if you rush to buy even the worst things, your knife may be able to sell for a good price. ”

Wen Fei let out an "oh", feeling much more balanced in his heart this time. But I heard the man say: "But it's still Chuntian, and those Fanbu live in the water and grass, and they are not nearby now." It won't be until it's hot that you migrate back. I'm afraid you'll have to wait another two months before you can sell this knife!"

The plan to come to ancient times to pick up cheap seems to be completely bankrupt, and Wen Fei is full of frustration. He didn't give up and asked, "Then what is it that sells here?"

The man laughed: "Of course there is, it depends on whether you are bold or not." The three kinds of salt, tea, and wine are indispensable to every household, and the price is also very high! However, these things are all sold by the government......

Wen Fei was still interested in listening to it, but when he heard the words monopoly, he lost interest. If you didn't know how powerful you were before, maybe you wouldn't have taken the ancient government in your eyes. But after suffering a loss last time, I have a kinship. This ancient government will not tell you anything about human rights and legal systems, and will directly arrest you and throw you into prison without blinking. You don't have a place to cry out.
