Chapter 398 Xia Rui
Sent away this guest, Ji Xuan said: "Husband, I use the Mongolian books in the shop to bring utensils to play. It seems that I don't have to worry about selling them. However, the types of utensils toy are a little less."
Zhao Zhendao: "I once read "Kaopan Yushi", which records forty-five kinds of study utensils. Such as pen grids, inkstones, pen beds, pen screens, seals and other stone carvings We can make a batch of copper and iron utensils such as cutting knives and scissors, as well as wooden items such as book boxes, but we can’t do anything about porcelain and jade.”
Ji Xuan said: “These are enough. , not everyone needs it, most people can only get an inkstone and a pen holder."
Zhao Zhen nodded.
I don’t know if it was the sign hanging out that had an effect. After a while, more and more people came into the store to choose books, and some people also chose toys.
Zhao Zhen saw that although the two clerks were busy, they were able to cope with it, and said to Ji Xuan: "Madam, I haven't been to Fangshi for a long time. I just happened to go out for a stroll today."
Ji Xuan said: "Husband, I have done the counting here, and I will accompany you." As she said that, Ji Xuan closed the account book in her hand.
The two left the bookstore and walked around the market aimlessly.
Until the noon time, there was nothing worth selling. Zhao Zhen was about to go back with Ji Xuan when he saw many people surrounding the stall in front of him, making noisy noises.
Zhao Zhen went up to take a look and saw more than a dozen large and small bamboo tubes on the stall, and a large wooden box behind it. The most eye-catching thing is the more than 20 large and small hives on the stall.
It is these hives that attract many people to watch. Two young men dressed as hunters were greeting everyone.
"Come and see the newly picked honey and hives."
In just a moment, two people negotiated the price and bought two bamboo tubes of honey. When other people saw it, they quickly came forward to negotiate the price.
Ji Xuan said: "Our family is not short of honey, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Zhen pointed to several hives on the stall and said: "This doesn't look like a bee hive."
After that, he said to the two people setting up the stall: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this hive?"
"Which one?"
Zhao Zhen pointed with his hand: "Both of them."
The two people setting up the stall were overjoyed. The taller one said: "There are twenty-five of these hives, large and small, and the asking price is thirty guan."
"What kind of bees are they?"
"There are all bumblebees, bumblebees, and Osmia wasps. These three are golden-ringed hornets. In the box are captured adults of golden-ringed hornets, soaked in wine. Best. Do you want a high-ranking official?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Is there a queen bee in this nest of golden-ringed hornets?"
"Yes, this box. There are two honeycombs inside, and this box of golden-ringed hornets costs 20 pieces."
Zhao Zhen said: "I want 50 pieces, but I need you two to deliver them to my house."
The man glanced awkwardly at the bargaining customer and said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, this honey hasn't been sold out yet, but I have to wait."
Zhao Zhen said: "How much do you want this honey?"
"It is packed in a bamboo tube. It has not been weighed. It is estimated to be thirty kilograms. It only costs one hundred and fifty guan."
Zhao Zhen said: "If no one wants it, I will also want it. . "
The tall Orion was overjoyed when he heard this and said to the other Orion: "Taozi, we won't sell the stall anymore, all the big customers have taken care of it."
After hearing this, the few people who were bargaining took the bamboo tubes in their hands, stuffed the money into the short Orion's hand, stood up and left.
When the others saw it, they cursed in a low voice and dispersed. The tall hunter said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, the remaining honey is only 120 strings."
Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding, the two people quickly packed up the honey, hives, etc. and made two After picking up the burden, he followed Zhao Zhen back to Nanshi's house.
Zhao Zhen chatted with the two of them along the way, and learned through chatting that they both worked in the Orion profession, the tall one was named Mou Kaichuan, and the short one was named Xie Tao. The two of them hunted together in the mountains every day. They had already spotted these hives. As autumn entered, the hives contained the most honey.
When he arrived at Zhao Zhen's residence, Zhao Zhen paid the bill and said to the two of them: "Brothers, I also buy high-level spiritual materials in this shop. If you find them in the mountains and forests, just bring them over and save you two." Setting up a stall takes time."
Mou Kaichuan said: "What do the officials buy here?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Spiritual materials, spiritual plants, spiritual seeds, as long as they are advanced. , I want them all here. If you have any rare mountain delicacies, I can send them to you, it won’t cost you two money. There are also many specialties and spiritual things for sale in the shop.”
Mou Kaichuan said to Xie Tao. "Taozi?"
Xie Tao hesitated for a moment and said: "The big official and the little guy set up a net on the mountain and captured a black baby. Do you want the big official?"

Zhao Zhen was surprised when he heard this. He asked without showing his face, "What's the price?"
"Five thousand guans."
Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "It's too expensive. , This black pheasant is just a sign of honor. Some time ago, someone from Qi State captured a white pheasant and presented it to the royal family. The reward was only 3,000 pheasants."
"If you two are sincere in selling it, I will offer you 2,000. "
After hearing this, Xie Tao shook his head and said: "Although Black Pheasant is auspicious, it is not auspicious."
Mou Kaichuan also said: "Master, 2000 strings are indeed too little. Please add more."
Zhao Zhen said: "You name a price. If you are not sincere, forget it. This is said to be auspicious, but it is auspicious." No one knows what is going on. The White Pheasant of Qi is now facing an invasion of fog. I am just interested in Heizhi, so I have some experience.”
The two discussed it. , Mou Kaichuan said: "Master, this black pheasant is auspicious after all, 2000 strings, plus two more spiritual objects that can strengthen my body."
Zhao Zhen pretended to hesitate and frowned. Said: "The two of you will send the black pheasant. If it is intact, I will pay you 2,000 guans plus two four-tailed carps to enhance the physique. If the black pheasant is damaged, the price will be negotiated separately. How about it?"
Xie Tao nodded and said: "It's a deal. The two of us will go get the black pheasant right now."
With that said, he pulled Mou Kaichuan away.
When the two left, Ji Qingwan, who had never spoken, said: "Husband, these two people really have black pheasants?"
Zhao Zhen said: "The two of them said it themselves, they can. The best thing is, I haven't seen it before."
"If it's really Heizhi, this business is a profit." Ji Qingwan said.
Zhao Zhen said: "Madam, have you seen a black pheasant?"
Ji Qingwan shook her head and said: "I have never seen it before, but I have seen it in a book. This kind of auspiciousness must have something extraordinary. It may be a good harvest, a treasure, or a disaster. The worst is to eat it. It can help people strengthen their health, cure diseases and prolong their lives. "
"However, few people know the uses of different auspicious signs. Everyone keeps it secret and only publicizes its auspicious attributes. After getting auspiciousness, most of them are exchanged for money."
Ji Xuan said: "What is the effect of the black pheasant?"
Ji Qingwan said: "How do I know? Maybe Brother Gaohu knows."
Zhao Zhen said: "We will wait until these two people are delivered."
