"What's the matter?" Anna was a little baffled. Although shopkeeper Wang had a gentle attitude in the past, he had never been so enthusiastic as today.

"Go and call the boss, and tell me that Mr. An Lang, who sells spices, is here."

Hearing that shopkeeper Wang wanted to call the boss, Anna became nervous again, "Treasurer Wang, is there something wrong with my spices? Someone ate it by mistake?"

"No, no, don't worry, it's not that there's something wrong with your spices, you sit first, oh, this is it?"

"This is a brother named Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, this is shopkeeper Wang."

"Treasurer Wang"

"Okay, okay." It's been nearly three months in ancient times, and Zhu Yun's hair has grown long, so it doesn't look so strange to others.

Chapter 3 The Past

(Conversations in ancient Chinese are too troublesome. The following dialogues will be written in the current language. Please forgive me for being imprecise.)

"An Langjun?" A young man in his 20s came out from the inside. This was the first time Zhu Yun saw an ancient man in brocade clothes, and he secretly praised him. Although the young man didn't look good, he was wearing blue The black robe and the white underclothes look neat and clean, which makes people feel good.

"Hello."

"Mr. An Lang, this is the boss of our Gu Ren Tang, Mr. Qi Fingyan, Mr. Qi, this is Anna Mr. An Lang who sold spices to us. That is Mr. An Lang's younger brother, Xiao Yun."

Not knowing how to salute, Anna and Zhu Yun just nodded.

"Brother An, it's a pleasure to meet you, please sit down."

"Excuse me, is there something wrong with my spices?" Anna was a little impatient. She just wanted to sell the things quickly and go shopping before going home.

"It seems that Brother An is in a bit of a hurry, so let me just say it directly. I want to buy out the spices that Brother An sold to us before?"

"Buy out? What does that mean?"

"That is, in the future, whenever Brother An wants to sell spices, he will sell them to Qi, and I will definitely give Brother An a satisfactory price."

"What's the difference? I have spices and I sell them here. Shopkeeper Wang and I are acquaintances."

Qi Fingyan laughed when he heard Anna's flowers, "I really want to thank Brother An, but I hope there can be a relevant agreement to ensure the supply of Gu Rentang's goods."

"Oh? Sign the contract?"

"contract?"

"contract."

"That's right, that's the contract. I don't know what Brother An wants?"

"That is to say, after signing the contract, oh no, after the contract, I can only bring my spices to you to sell?"

"Exactly, if possible, I would also like to buy out the recipes for a few spices."

"Sounds like trouble."

"Your spices must be very popular." Zhu Yun smiled and said that Anna was not very interested, so she didn't say much. In fact, before she studied design, her father forced her to study management for a period of time. So if Anna wants to sell her idea about spices, she will definitely make the negotiation develop in Anna's favor, but Anna seems to just want to be a normal person in peace.

"Huh? Is that so? Boss Qi."

"Yes, it's hard to find anything, and the amount you can provide is too small. I have already been forced by those ladies and ladies. And you live in the mountains, so I can't find you."

"The contract you mentioned is too troublesome, I don't want to do that, but my spices will be sold to you, I can verbally assure you, I like shopkeeper Wang very much, when I first came here, I went to many pharmacies , but only he was kind to me."

"Mr. An Lang... you... are so kind." Shopkeeper Wang, who was listening to her words, was so moved that he almost cried.

"This…"

"And if you want to buy out some spice recipes, I can also sell them to you. You are right. I can make too few spices by myself, but I always weigh the spices with my own hands. , if I want to be more precise, I may have to use this place to weigh it."

"Of course it's no problem!!!" Qi Fingyan clapped his hands happily, and hurriedly asked the buddy to bring the scale.

"I have some ready-made spices here, and I have made some new things this time, do you want to have a look?"

"That's just as good as it gets."

Because of the preparation of spice materials, the two simply stayed in Gu Rentang at night. Anna used the excuse of needing Zhu Yun's help, so the two lived in one room. There is only one other person who believes in each other, so both of them acquiesced not to be too far apart, and not to get separated.

Sometimes when Zhu Yun thinks about it, he finds it unbelievable that the two have known each other for a short time, and it is impossible to say that they hit it off. If it were in modern times, it would be impossible for them to become so close all of a sudden. It is only because in such an environment, they have to rely on each other to get along. survive.

It's too shameless to say that you are dependent. I have been relying on Sister Anna, and she can live well without me.Zhu Yun added, I hope I can help her in the future.

"Don't play with those cinnamon sticks." Anna reminded, and said while weighing the materials, but the scale was too small and it was the old-fashioned thing with weights, and she seemed clumsy.

"Oh... I'm so annoying. I wanted Mr. Qi to take him out to play, but who knew that there was a night ban in the Tang Dynasty."

"It's also the first time I know about this. I thought the Tang Dynasty was a bustling place like the United States, and then Chang'an was like New York. We are now in a small town next to Luoyang, so it is at least a small town. In the suburbs of Shanghai."

"...Why Shanghai? Didn't you just say the United States, New York?" Zhu Yun's focus was completely wrong.

"Um... the suburbs of Washington, then."

"Or outside the Third Ring Road in Chengdu!"

"Are you from Chengdu?"

"Yeah, where's Miss Anna?"

"I am a country boy, and later I went to Shanghai to study and work there."

"Well, that Mr. Qi seems to like your spices very much. Will he sell them for more money this time?"

"We have money." Anna turned her head triumphantly and said, she didn't pay attention when she weighed it, "Master Qi has already given me 5 yellow gold collars as a deposit for the spices I brought and the formula I'm selling to them now." , I said that when I write him the five-flavor spice recipe he wants tonight, I will give me 15 more yellow gold collars, so there will be a total of 20 yellow gold collars."

"Really!! I want to see, how much is that?"

"I don't know, anyway, I can buy a lot of things. I'll show you the current money." Anna said she was happy, and simply put the scale aside, and took out a few ancient coins from the small cloth bag she carried with her. "Most of these coins are traded in this era, Kaiyuan Tongbao, although I don't know how much it is in the 21st century, but if it is exchanged for materials, about 25 Kaiyuan Tongbao can buy a bucket of rice."

"How much is a bucket of rice?"

"Hmm... probably more than 10 catties..." Anna didn't know how to connect the ancient calculation methods with the knowledge she had learned before, so she could only rely on guesswork.

"Then how many coins do you have left?"

"The last time I came to the town, there were some left over, probably more than 30. Mr. Qi said that it is inconvenient for me to carry money. You can use gold to settle with me. Then you can go to the bank to exchange coins."

"How much Wen can be exchanged for a yellow gold collar?"

Speaking of this, Anna looked relieved, and poured the gold bars from the small cloth bag on the table with a smile, "A gold collar can be exchanged for 6 coins, and a coin is 1200 coins."

"Fuck! A lot of money." Zhu Yun cried happily.

"Yeah, haha, let's go buy a donkey tomorrow."
