poor family prodigal

The driver took out a stepping stone. Zhao Qinghe got out of the car first, and then helped Wang Yuan get out of the car.

Dahu and Wang Sihai took out two red sandalwood boxes from the carriage.

As soon as the four of them walked into the store, the waiter greeted them with a smile: "What do you want, young master?"

Seeing the waiter's reaction, Dahu and Wang Sihai immediately understood what Wang Yuan meant by respecting the clothes first and then respecting others.

In the morning, the four of them went shopping in sackcloth, but were chased away before they could even speak.

Now this guy looked at their clothes and smiled directly to please them.

Wang Yuan stabbed his hands behind his back and grinned: "If you are looking for your shopkeeper, let him come out!"

"I'm Zhou Changfa, I wonder what my little friend's name is, why are you here?"

Zhou Changfa, the chubby third master of the Zhou family, walked down from the second floor. He looked at Wang Yuan first, then at Zhao Qinghe, Dahu, and Wang Sihai, and immediately smiled apologetically.

The maids and servants all wear satin. This person's family background is no worse than that of the Zhou family.

"Prince Fugui, Shopkeeper Zhou, I heard that you are the largest sugar merchant in Fu County and are well-informed. I have some rare things here. I wonder if you have seen them before!"

Without waiting for shopkeeper Zhou to ask for a seat, Wang Yuan found a seat and sat down by himself.

Wang Sihai followed Wang Yuan's instruction and placed the sandalwood box on the counter before stepping back.

Zhao Qinghe stepped forward, opened the lid of the box with his white and tender hands, and lifted the silk handkerchief. He muttered in his heart: "What are you doing, cousin? Can't you let Sihai open it easily? I have to go through it one more time. What's the use of covering this silk handkerchief?" .”

call!

Zhou Changfa held his breath and waited until Zhao Qinghe turned sideways and saw the sugar in the box. He immediately ran over and exclaimed: "Why, how can there be so much icing sugar?"

When boiling brown sugar, there will occasionally be some frosting, but the amount is very small.

Such a big sandalwood box weighs eight pounds if not ten pounds. How did it come about?

"Shopkeeper Zhou, this is not icing sugar, but crystal sugar from the Western Regions!"

Wang Yuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Changfa, as if he were looking at a country bumpkin: "I'll pay you back!"

Zhao Qinghe's eyes widened.

My cousin now doesn't even blush when he tells lies. He told them it was white sugar at noon. Now he told Shopkeeper Zhou about crystal sugar. He also said it came from the Western Regions and was cooked in the blacksmith shop at noon!

The way he looks now, he is so dandy, so arrogant, and so worthy of a beating!

Dahu and Wang Sihai had sullen faces and followed Wang Yuan's instructions.

"Western Region! Crystal Candy!"

Shopkeeper Zhou carefully twisted some candy and put it in his mouth, and his eyes immediately lit up.

This sugar is much sweeter than brown sugar, and its appearance is crystal clear, truly worthy of the name ‘crystal sugar’.

If there is a crystal sugar channel, he can become the largest sugar merchant in Chengzhou.

Although he wanted it very much, Shopkeeper Zhou said without changing his face: "My little friend brought crystal candies to Zhou's Candy Shop. Do you want me to help sell them? But it's not the new year yet, and the candy business is very difficult to do."

Having been in business for many years, he knew that no matter how eager he wanted a product, he couldn't act eagerly.

Otherwise the seller will raise the price!

It's best to act like you don't want it, and only when people beg you for it can you take advantage.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you're overthinking! I'm just here to inquire about the price, and then I'm going to ask Shopkeeper Hu. I'll make plans when I get back to the county!"

With a slap of the folding fan, Wang Yuan stood up: "Since shopkeeper Zhou is in trouble, Wang will take his leave! Let's go to Hu's Sugar Shop!"

Zhao Qinghe's little mouth curled up slightly.

My cousin is so good at pretending that he is from Dawangzhuang, but he is from the county town.

Also, I now owe someone [-] guan, and I am eager to sell candy and go home to pay off my debt.

He just acted like he didn't want to sell it.

And this Shopkeeper Zhou, who clearly wants to die, but looks embarrassed.

There are really two foxes, one big and one small!

Snapped!

Wang Sihai rushed to the counter, closed the rosewood box, held it in both hands and left.

When he came, Wang Yuan told him that as long as he said to leave, they would follow him immediately.

"Hey, Brother Wang, what are you doing? I didn't say I didn't want it!"

Shopkeeper Zhou stopped Wang Yuan and said, "I will pay you a pound of crystal candy."

The Hu family also sells candy. If they take the crystal candy, their business will be higher than that of the Zhou family!

Zhao Qinghe hummed in her heart, sugar was always a pound, this was her psychological price.

Sure enough, it was sold!

"consistent?"

Looking at Shopkeeper Zhou with disdain, Wang Yuan said with a straight face: "Get out of the way!"

"Brother Wang, I was wrong! One and a half, no, two and a half...two and a half."

Shopkeeper Zhou apologized and increased the price, but when Wang Yuan ignored him and continued to move forward, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Okay, brother Wang, I don't make any more money, so just treat it like we're leaving it to a friend, and I'll give you three ounces per catty!"

Zhao Qinghe's heart was in his throat, and he wanted to quickly get Wang Yuan to agree.

Three times more than she expected.

Dahu and Sihai are a little weak in the legs.

The villagers worked hard for a year and still had less than three thousand dollars left.

Wang Yuan sold this pound of sugar for three guans.

"Wang cannot afford to have a friend like Shopkeeper Zhou. Please say goodbye!"

Wang Yuan smiled coldly and continued to move forward.

"Brother Wang, after all, this is food. Three Guan is already very high! Okay, I'll suffer a loss. Let's go with Four Guan!"

Zhou Changfa increased the price, but when Wang Yuan still ignored him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Wang, stop trying to guess, the price is five guan. If you don't agree, go to Hu's Sugar Shop and see how much they can offer."

Zhao Qinghe, Dahu, and Sihai were all frightened.

Wang Yuan paused!

Shopkeeper Zhou thought it was a joke and sighed: "Brother, although crystal candies are rare, they are food after all. Wu Guan is already extremely expensive."

Wang Yuan sneered: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I thought you were the most visionary businessman in Fu County, but you said this to me. I really misjudged you!"

Shopkeeper Zhou sighed: "Brother Wang, I know you still want to raise the price, but you said one thousand to ten thousand, it is just a piece of candy, how can it still be sold at a sky-high price? Even the county magistrate can't afford five ounces of candy for one pound! "

Zhao Qinghe looked at Wang Yuan anxiously and really wanted to agree for him immediately.

Wang Yuan sneered: "Shopkeeper Zhou, who told you that crystal candy is for eating."

Shopkeeper Zhou narrowed his eyes: "Brother Wang, if you don't eat candy, what else can you use it for?"

Zhao Qinghe, Dahu, and Sihai were all confused: Isn’t sugar just for eating?

"Don't eat what you buy, don't buy what you eat!"

Wang Yuan sneered: "Crystal candy appeared in Daye for the first time. Who knows the next time we get it? In the Year of the Monkey, Horse and Moon, will it be the turn of the county magistrate to eat just this little crystal candy? No one below the third rank will be willing to eat these crystal candies." No matter who gets it, they will give it to the superior. Whoever receives the crystal candy will remember the person who gave it. Because this is something that did not exist before. I said it so straightforwardly, does Shopkeeper Zhou still pretend to be confused? ?”

He really couldn't believe that such an old businessman didn't know that rare things are valuable.

After his thoughts were exposed, Zhou Changfu sneered: "Brother, I really didn't pretend to be confused, I just couldn't think of a way to sell it at the moment, but when you said this, I was awakened. I won't tell you the price, just open it!"

Wang Yuan said: "Thirty strings per pound!"

Zhao Qinghe, Wang Sihai, and Dahu's hearts were all about to explode!

"make a deal!"

Shopkeeper Zhou agreed without hesitation, turned around and went upstairs to get the money!

Wang Yuan sighed: "Hey, the seller is not as good as the buyer, but the price is still low!"

Zhao Qinghe was grinding his little tiger teeth, wishing he could pounce on him and bite his cousin to death.

One pound of brown sugar and half a pound of white sugar sold for [-] ounces per pound, which was not enough.

Not long after, shopkeeper Zhou went downstairs and opened a small box, which contained four ten gold ingots and twenty ten taels of silver ingots, a total of six hundred ingots.

The light of gold and silver entered his eyes, Zhao Qinghe's heart swayed, and he stared blankly!

Wang Sihai's legs were weak and Dahu's breathing was stagnant.

The two of them had never seen silver or gold, and had only touched some copper coins.

The three people's reactions fell into Zhou Changfa's eyes, and he turned to look at Wang Yuan.

It is normal for maids and servants to see so much money.

If the master sees this little money and his mind is taken away, there will be a problem.
