Because the black market is opened in the backyards of adjacent shops or workshops, it can seem a bit crowded if there are many people.
When Lin Haoming came in, someone did ask, but because of Shi Li's relationship, he was not embarrassed. It can also be seen that Shi Li has some face in this place.
The black market in Dishang City sells almost everything, from mysterious treasures to the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, from children of several years old to beautiful women, from literati's calligraphy to rare classics. Although there is usually a place where these things can be bought and sold.
Yes, but most of the things here have unknown origins, or their origins are direct and questionable.
For example, the children and women sold here may have been abducted and robbed by someone from elsewhere. Of course, even the black market will privately investigate the origins of these unknown people. If they really have identities, or are the children of the housekeeper, the black market
They would also treat them well and send them back. I heard that for this reason, officials from other cities specially thanked Di Shangcheng for rescuing their missing children. But if there is no great background, they can only be obedient and hope to be sold to a good family.
.The same is true for most other things.
Lin Haoming thought of what he had encountered when he was in Xilin County. I am afraid that at that time, those guys also came to Dishuang City to do black market business.
Although it seems that the source of how the black market came into being can be traced, no one knows why the black market is so prosperous. Some people say that this is because the real master behind the black market is the city lord. However, the city lord Yun Ze has been away for nearly a thousand years, but
It is still prosperous here, which shows that is not the case.
Lin Haoming, accompanied by Shi Li, also visited several shops. This shop did almost the same business during the day, but the business was obviously much more prosperous at night than during the day.
At this time, Lin Haoming was standing in a very elegantly decorated room. The walls of the room were covered with various famous calligraphy and ink. There were also several desks placed in the room, and some famous calligraphy and paintings were also spread out on them.
Lin Haoming did not appreciate each piece. Instead, he just sat at a table with a cup of tea in his hand and slowly tasted it.
Shi Li was standing in front of the table at this time, looking at a landscape painting and admiring it. As for Chu Liang, who was following him, he looked around at several pictures of ladies. It was obvious that he was not interested in the elegant environment here.
That's the only thing that interests him.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked in with a smile, and behind him were two maids, each holding two exquisite boxes.
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Lin, please keep the two of you waiting!" The man bowed his hands towards the two of them, appearing quite polite.
Lin Haoming put down his tea cup at this time, looked at the box in the maid's hand and said, "Let's take a look at the things first!"
The man nodded and left and asked the maid to deliver the two boxes to Lin Haoming's table. After opening the boxes, what was placed inside was not calligraphy and painting, but brocade handkerchiefs.
The maid carefully spread a layer of white silk on the table, and then placed the brocade handkerchiefs piece by piece on the white silk for the guests to admire.
Lin Haoming looked at these brocade handkerchiefs and asked: "Although I said before I came here that I don't care about the origin, as long as the quality is good, but if I don't appreciate the things themselves, I won't want them."
"Haha, sir, don't worry, the brocade handkerchiefs here are definitely unused. If they have been used and are named, the price will be higher. I won't hide it from you, the goods here are all from those that were purchased many years ago.
It was wiped out and produced by the Dieyi Palace that was re-established now. This batch of things came from the goods that were seized back then. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. Look at the material and the patterns drawn on it. It is definitely no worse than the works of ordinary masters. Especially
These are the paintings alone that are no worse than the other masterpieces in this room, not to mention they are made of silver threads." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Well, it looks really good. How much does it cost?" Lin Haoming asked directly.
"Which one do you want to choose, sir?" the shopkeeper asked.
"I want all these woven silver threads!" Lin Haoming said directly.
"Young master is indeed very generous. There are seven brocade handkerchiefs, each with three sun crystals. If you want them all, I will only accept twenty sun crystals!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Twenty-day crystal is a bit more expensive!" Lin Haoming said lightly.
"Haha, there is no way around it. After all, the Dieyi Palace has not only been rebuilt, but has also become a clothing manufacturing bureau recognized by the East King. The inventory we got back then was not much. We sold one less, and we used the brocade handkerchiefs from the Dieyi Palace.
, in addition to the material itself, it is also a status symbol!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"You are very good at talking, so I won't go on too much. Just add ten more Sun Crystals and give me the rest!" Lin Haoming pointed to the others.
"This... okay!" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, seeming to be calculating whether it was a good deal.
"Shopkeeper, Mr. Lin is not an ordinary person. You have made a lot of money with this sum. The remaining materials are not as good as silver thread. Although the patterns painted are beautiful, they are full of charm. They are just painted in the same way. The price is good
!" At this time, Shi Li also spoke.
After hearing Shi Li's words, the shopkeeper didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
When Lin Haoming saw that he had agreed, he didn't hesitate and just put a moon crystal on the table.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw that it was Yue Jing who made the move. He immediately urged the maid to pack up all the brocade handkerchiefs and handed them to Lin Haoming.
After Lin Haoming put it away, he left here directly. After going out, Lin Haoming smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, Brother Shi!"
Shi Li smiled and said: "For bringing guests here, we actually get a commission, although it's not much, but for a moon crystal business like Brother Lin's, we can at least get a few time crystals, but
Brother Lin has already paid such a high price before, so naturally I can't let Brother Lin suffer too much, and the shopkeeper also understands my situation, so he didn't hesitate!"
"Brother Shi, doesn't this make your income less?" Lin Haoming asked with a smile.
"It's just that the share will be less. For Brother Lin's arm, I still made more money!" Shi Li said very calmly.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming was a little surprised and said: "Brother Shi is so candid, I am a little surprised!"
"Although I haven't been in contact with Brother Lin for a long time, I feel that Brother Lin is not a simple person. It would be better to be more honest in front of Brother Lin!" Shi Li said.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming smiled slightly and turned to ask: "Brother Shi seems to be quite good at calligraphy and painting, which surprised Lin?"
"Haha, when Shi was young, he used to be a book boy, and he learned a little bit. But if you understand this kind of thing, you have to calculate it in terms of sun crystals and moon crystals. It is not something that people like me can play with!" Shi
Li said helplessly.
Lin Haoming also felt the helplessness in Shi Li's heart, and it was not convenient for him to continue talking, so he said: "Next, brother Shi, can you take me to a place where furniture is sold? It is best made of Qingshen wood."
"Brother Lin plans to live here, so he needs to buy some items?" Shi Li was a little confused.
