Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

Chapter 55 It's all about money...

Mr. Guo is indeed an alcoholic. After drinking a glass of wine, the way he looked at Cheng Duo changed.Clenching his fists and coughing lightly, he said embarrassingly, "This Shaoguang wine..."

"2000 taels, the same price."

After Cheng Duo finished speaking, he saw the scholars behind Mr. Guo glaring at him, as if he was a philistine.After thinking about it, he simply sighed and flickered: "It's not that I deliberately sold you a high price. My lord, look at this white jade bottle, the wine is still mellow after ten years in it. Besides, this wine can only be brewed with a hundred times the ingredients of ordinary brewing methods. This bottle."

"The master who brewed this Shaoguang wine is very old. This is his masterpiece. Because I hit it off with him and tried every means to find a white jade bottle for him to preserve the wine, he readily gave it to me. The master It is said that his wish in this life is to let people who really understand wine drink the wine he made, so he named this wine Shaoguang..."

Cheng Duo eloquently compiled a long history of this wine, which made Mr. Guo and the other scholars mesmerized and respectful.

If it is true as Cheng Duo said, it took the master all his life to reach the current level, and it is the other party's masterpiece, then it is really not expensive...

"Where is the master now?" Mr. Guo asked eagerly.

"He is a foreigner. He has sold the brewery outside the pass and traveled westward."

Mr. Guo's disappointment was obvious, but seeing the wine bottle in Cheng Duo's hand, he quickly regained his spirits, and asked his attendants to go back to the post station to fetch a silver ticket for him, and bought the bottle of wine on the spot.

After Mr. Guo left with the wine bottle in his arms, those scholars followed suit.Because there were so many people, Cheng Duo didn't notice that a poor scholar who said he was cheating looked back at him several times.

The restaurant owners stayed behind, obviously asking for something.Father Xie didn't show mercy when he saw this, he gave his buddies winks and asked them to throw him out.

"Hey, what are you doing, let me go! Boss Xie, what are you doing, we have something to talk about!" Boss Huang of Piaoxianglou was carried away by the arms of two guys, and he yelled unwillingly.

The owner of Yipinju also desperately turned his head back: "Thank you, you are not being kind. If you have money, everyone can earn it together. Why should you take us away? Brother Cheng, brother Cheng, I am willing to pay a high price for the prescription of Shaoguang wine! "

"There is no prescription, but wine is fine. I'm willing to buy it for 2000 taels!"

Just now he opened his mouth and kept saying "You reckless man", but now he has become "Brother Cheng".Cheng Duo ignored them, because he only had six bottles of liquor in total, and at worst, he would sell another bottle to Xie's family, and the rest would really be immobilized.

After all, materials are scarce in this era, and good spirits can not only keep out the cold, but also disinfect and sterilize.No matter how much money he has, he can't spend it all, but baijiu is a good thing, if he sells it, he can't buy it back.

Father Xie rubbed his hands and came in front of Cheng Duo: "This...brother Cheng, you are laughing at the poor hospitality."

"Boss Xie doesn't have to be like this." Cheng Duo couldn't let people just stand there, so he could only say hello: "I don't know if Boss Xie has eaten, why don't we sit down and eat together?"

"Okay, okay." Father Xie had this intention, and quickly sat down beside Cheng Duo, and winked at his son again.

Xie Yuan was a little ashamed, but because he was familiar with Cheng Duo before and knew his character, he didn't go around the bush and asked directly: "Brother Cheng, you just said that you hit it off with that old master, I wonder if he has Give you the craft of brewing wine?"

Cheng Duo shook his head: "He is willing to teach, but I'm a rough person..."

As soon as these words came out, Xie's father and son, and Boss Sun felt embarrassing, what a great opportunity, but they were not the ones to meet!

If this unique skill is mastered, their entire family, including the following generations of descendants, will benefit endlessly, what a pity!

Cheng Duo glanced at them: "I really don't have Fang Zi, but I still have a bottle of wine with me."

"Also? Where is it?" Xie Yuan cheered up, and quickly looked at his pannier, only to see that there was nothing in it except the flat cloth bag.

Cheng Duo laughed: "It's not on me."

Fortunately, he knew that he was going to stay overnight, so he booked the hotel room early, and he could find a reason when he explained.

Xie Yuan looked at him with an aggrieved face: "Brother Cheng, why didn't you mention this kind of good thing when you sold the glass bottle?"

Cheng Duo had a chill, and involuntarily moved away from him: "You have to bargain with me to buy a glass bottle. Look at Mr. Guo? How generous! Saying 2000 taels is 2000 taels."

"What glass bottle?" Father Xie asked, while secretly glaring at his ineffective son. He couldn't grasp such a big business, and he had the nerve to say that he had already graduated from the teacher!

If the bottle of wine just passed through the hands of their Xie family, they could do a lot more than they do now!

Xie Yuan was stared at by his father, feeling a little guilty.But in a blink of an eye, when he talked about the glass bottle, he became elated again, and proudly showed off the treasure he bought to his father, while Boss Sun on the side would chime in from time to time.

After Xie Yuan introduced the glass bottle, he complained to Cheng Duo angrily: "Brother Cheng, of course you have to come and go with me for this business. How can you assume that I can't afford it because of my bargaining price?" Where's the money?"

If you don't explain clearly, what if Cheng Duo still has good things and sells them to someone else?

"...Now I know." Cheng Duo was a little helpless, people were rushing to give him money, and if he didn't sell it, it would be fine.

Because of the previous negligence, Xie Yuan kept knocking in Cheng Duo's ear for the next time, asking him if there were any other treasures there?Even Xie's father kept giving him winks to tell him to restrain himself, but he ignored them.

Of course Xie Yuan knew what his father was doing, it was just because he was afraid that Cheng Duo would feel that they were thinking badly about the thousands of taels of silver and the heavy treasures in his hands.

But his father didn't see Cheng Duo's skill, he didn't need a second punch to beat anyone, and he could kick a strong man of two hundred catties flying several meters... Whoever dared to rob him, he respected him as a man!

In fact, Xie Yuan really wanted to make friends, the more casual Cheng Duo talked to him, the happier he was.So he didn't hide it, he just came here directly.

After drinking for three rounds, Cheng Duo remembered his other purpose of coming to Ershilipo: "By the way, I have something. I wonder if Boss Xie and Young Master Xie can help me?"

"What's the matter, tell me?" Xie Yuan took up the conversation, and Father Xie also looked over curiously.

"It's like this. I plan to burn bricks and tiles to build a house by myself. Do you know where I can hire a master? Or just buy a house." Yang'er Village is too remote, and the transportation of bricks and tiles is a big project. I have seen it before, the red mud in the col is actually very suitable for firing bricks.

Anyway, he has money now. After building the house by himself, he can also set up a brick and tile workshop. If the surrounding villagers are willing to buy it, they can hire more people, and it can also drive the economy of Yang'er Village.

Xie Yuan and his father looked at each other: "This...may be a bit troublesome, you also know that our family is in the restaurant business, so we don't have much to do with it...but my father knows a lot of people, maybe he has a solution?"

Father Xie didn't deny it either, and pondered for a while: "Well, you wait for me for two days, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

Father Xie is not a person who doesn't know good and evil. He knew from the restaurant shopkeeper that Cheng Duo helped them solve the trouble, and now Cheng Duo is willing to sell wine to Xie's family...

Boss Huang yelled so loudly when they were driven away just now, it is impossible for him not to hear it. If he is willing to sell it for a price, it is possible for several of their restaurant owners to fight.But Cheng Duo didn't mention it at all, it was already a kind of gesture.

Two days, Cheng Duo nodded, he just used these two days to buy more supplies and stuff them into the space.By the way, I need to exchange more real gold and silver. Although silver tickets are easy to get, gold and silver are the hard currency.

The next day, Cheng Duo delivered a bottle of liquor to Xie Yuan.Because he specially ordered that what Xie Yuan brought was a medium box, which contained not only 2000 taels of silver, but also 200 taels of gold.

Cheng Duo gave Xie Yuan the 2000 taels of silver notes that Mr. Guo had given, which meant that he only had [-] silver notes left in his hand.

Xie Yuan glanced at the box: "You have to be careful, it's full of money..."

Cheng Duo seemed to listen carefully, but actually put the box away when he returned to his room.Without his approval, no one can steal a tael of silver from him!

Xie's father's speed was quite fast. He privately found a brick-burning craftsman who had signed a contract of sale, and bought the prescription from him for 400 taels.

He wasn't afraid that the craftsman would lie to him, after all, if the other party secretly sold the recipe, if the master caught him, he would go away without food.

It's just that the price he offered was too tempting, so the craftsman gritted his teeth and took the risk in order to save some money for his family.

Father Xie was afraid that Cheng Duo would be overwhelmed, so he took the initiative to explain that he had saved another copy of the prescription, and that 400 taels needed 200 taels.

Cheng Duo knew that he must have resorted to other tricks, so he nodded and wrote down the favor.

In order to deceive others, Cheng Duo carried the suitcase on his back when he left the city, and put a lot of things bought at Ershilipo in the back basket.

He is so generous, someone really thought about it.However, there were only twelve or thirteen robbers who robbed him. Even if they had iron bars and wooden sticks in their hands, they didn't hold Cheng Duo's iron fists.

Cheng Duo not only robbed them, but also forced to question the person who revealed the news.It was described as a poor scholar in a long gown, and Cheng Duo didn't know him at all... But when he thought of the scholar who was following Mr. Guo that day, he instantly had a bottom line.

He patted the face of the leading robber: "The scholar didn't tell you that I can beat a strong man of two hundred catties with one punch? Does he have a grudge against you, and he doesn't tell such terrible news?"

"He wants to borrow a knife to kill people, but I don't want to cooperate! How about this, you hand over your valuables, and forget about our grievances. By the way, the scholar probably didn't tell you that I like black people the most... "

The faces of a group of robbers were all green, not to mention, they really had a grudge against the scholar.After all, they are bastards on the street, and they often collect protection fees nearby.The scholar didn't want to give money, so he told them that he knew someone who had 2000 taels of silver notes.If they promised not to take his money again, he would tell them where the man was.

Cheng Duo didn't bother to go back to deal with the scholar, so he simply set him up and let them eat dog by themselves.In order to make the robbers even more angry, he didn't even leave them a copper coin except for his clothes.

In fact, he still wanted to take off the clothes of this group of people, but when he thought that there were other girls and brothers on the street... he decided to forget it.

But this is enough to make the robbers full of resentment, as for how they deal with the scholar when they go back, that is their business...

The author has something to say:

For easy calculation, the ratio used here is 1 gold = 10 silver. The price of ancient gold is actually very high. Remember to bring gold when you travel...

As for the weight calculation, 16 taels = 1 catty, and 2200 taels is actually only over 100 catties.
