Chapter 22 Bartering
Spices were common in later generations. Ziyu bought spices such as black pepper, thyme, peppermint, betel nut slices, grass fruit, cardamom, agarwood, and cumin one by one, and basically wiped out those who sold spices.
Seeds are also common tomatoes, corns, peppers, etc. In the eyes of Baiyun people, many of them are only regarded as ornamental plants, but in the eyes of Ziyu, they are edible.
Her way of sweeping goods scared the small vendors who were following her and scattered them away. If they continued to follow, they wouldn't even be able to eat the scum.
After several rounds of sweeps, everyone in the trading shop knew that there was a young man who bought whatever he saw, and the young man also led a group of people rushing to buy goods.
The rugged man rushing to help carry the big bag was the only one who followed Ziyu without wavering.
When the two squeezed into a small circle, they were pinned to the feet by gems as big as pigeon eggs in the open cloth bag.
The blue is transparent, the red is bright, the purple is noble, the pink is dreamy, and the green is spring-like. There are about twenty fine gemstones in a small cloth bag.
Walter took out an exquisite box from the bag he was carrying and opened it. On the black velvet, there were two layers of thirty egg-sized gems neatly arranged.
“Change, change, change now!
Walter! Come on Walter! "
The two gem dealers also realized that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, and they just wanted to get rid of the hot potato in their hands.
He left with three guards Shi Shiran. The remaining people wanted to leave, but were a little reluctant to leave.
A loud thunder rolled across the roof, and dark clouds suddenly appeared. Even God was helping Ziyu.
The real colorful gems, each one is about the size of an egg, and they are absolutely perfect.
“Come on, come on!” Walter, who was summoned, had the same eyes as the seller, which made Ziyu’s heart tremble.
If the price is satisfactory, it will be no problem to buy them all, and it will save her the time of traveling to the north while sleeping in the open air.
No, someone else came to my door.
In the face of huge wealth, no one can control the beast that is ready to move inside.
Three guards with knives came over accompanied by a sinister black-faced man. The first thing he said was to ask Ziyu to pay taxes.
“Little brother, pay the tax quickly, otherwise your goods will be confiscated.” The rugged man reminded.
If a beautiful woman had a pair of sea-blue eyes, how many men would be charmed to death.
"suck…"
She was deeply impressed by a piece of radiant brocade. The piece of brocade would glow in the dark, and the pattern woven on it would seem to come alive as people moved around.
The value of the brocade that can be collected by An Guohou will definitely not be low. It is worth tens of thousands of taels just because of its rarity. It is not cost-effective to just exchange it for a small bag of gems in front of you.
To brag, Ziyu picked it up easily and only opened a corner of the bucket to let the seller see it.
“Boy, you can’t mess with the rules of the trading house, pay twenty taels of tax, hurry up!”
Ziyu glanced at the bright sky, wondering how to show it to this guy in broad daylight.
It is simply impossible for someone to jump into a wealthy family and become the head wife of a wealthy family just by having a charming **** face and being able to order so-called secret recipes.
What's even more pity is that except for the beautiful sea blue eyes of the two men, their facial features are not in Ziyu's aesthetic point.
“You can trade it with him if you have something rare!” Ziyu said with a smile.
Most of the people who come here to pick up goods have a desperate mentality to get rich. In addition to gold and silver, who would bring anything else with them.
Ziyu dug out the banknotes that had never been used, took out a twenty-tael bill and handed it to the visitor, secretly cursing him a "dog slave".
Ziyu, who was surrounded by everyone, put the box into the bucket and moved it into the space, leaving only one box outside.
“Boom…”
The onlookers took a deep breath. It was difficult for everyone to estimate the value for a moment, but the greed in their eyes was fully visible.
The strong wind blew away the dark clouds, and everything happened so fast, it was as if the vision had never happened.
The seller couldn't see clearly, he only saw a few light spots flashing, but he didn't rashly believe in the purple jade cowhide.
“No, no, no, I want you to open it and take a look!
“This is called the Ambilight Brocade. It was woven by the top master of Baiyun Kingdom. It took five years to weave this brocade. It is the only one in the world.
He touched the only two hundred taels of silver he had on him. His heart was so excited that his hands itched, but he was not arrogant enough to rob. The guards with knives at the door of the trading house were not vegetarians.
Made into clothes and worn on the body, when walking at night without lights, those patterns will glow faintly and are so beautiful! "
She has a lot of purple jade in her collection, which immediately attracted her attention. She glanced at the people watching, and everyone showed a look of obsession.
“No trouble!”
So those who gathered around and didn't want to leave, apart from lobbying hard, could only watch and covet.
“Five hundred taels of silver and one precious stone, the one with gold will be given priority.”
She reached into the bucket bag on her back, pretending to take out something. Ziyu remembered that when she was sorting out the belongings of An Guohou's family, she found a batch of very beautiful brocades.
The brown-skinned seller is rare and can speak Baiyun Mandarin. Although it is a bit stiff, he still understands what he means.
“Brother, if you can buy a gem, you can make a fortune, and you won’t have to lick blood from your knife for the rest of your life.” The rough man whispered.
She saw that there were more and more people watching, and it would not be good for her to delay any longer, so she had to take the initiative.
In order to appease the jealous vendors, Ziyu decided to sell some gems on the spot.
“What is it? I want to see it before I make a decision!”
If it is as beautiful as you say, the gems my friend brought are better and more numerous than the ones I have. "
“I have something, but your gems are not worth enough!” Ziyu said bluntly.
She had to pay 20 taels of tax before she even opened, which would make anyone else unhappy. She really wouldn't leave unless she made a lot of money here.
Ziyu was very thoughtful. She only thought about the convenience of being a second-tier dealer, but she forgot that there was a tax to sell goods in the trading house.
The black-faced man flicked the banknote with satisfaction and said a few words before leaving.
In this era, there are not many smart people and capable people.
The seller, who raised his neck to call others, stared at Ziyu with his sea-blue eyes, fearing that she would run away in a blink of an eye.
The small bag of gems was held in her hand, and she shook the bag in her hand and said to the small vendors who were leaving Bu Yuan.
From the conversation with the seller, we learned that he did not want gold or silver, but only the most beautiful and rare things in exchange.
The two parties did not make any further counter-offers, but completed the transaction directly. The two gem dealers held up the dazzling brocade that they wanted.
She quickly took out the brocade and put it on her body, shook it a few times, then quickly folded it and put it into the bucket bag.
There is also a row of diamond stones, pink, white, blood and yellow.
Not interested in!
It seems that good-looking men and women only exist in the obscenity of novels.
It was actually the price Ziyu shouted that was higher than their expectations.
According to the usual price, a gem as big as a pigeon egg can be purchased for only 200 taels.
