Chapter 36 Buying and selling(1/2)

"You want to sell something?"

"Yes, tens of thousands of needles."

After hearing Li Yu's answer, the star official wearing a white mask was stunned.

"You are... preparing to make magical instruments like the 'Rain Rain Pear Blossom Needle'? I just said to buy...

"No, it's a sell."

After being emphasized by Li Yu again, the star official who was already very familiar with him couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Brother Li Yu, you haven't been grinding needles all these times, are you?"

Even if a craftsman is a craftsman, he doesn’t know how much time it will take to create tens of thousands of needles.

"No, I hired people from Leyuan County to help."

···

Even so, it is impossible to create so many needles in such a short time! It is not unclear what the situation in Leyuan County is. However—

"Okay, I'll take you to find a business."

"Thank you."

Although he happened to run into Qingluosi to convene guards from all over the country and heard about the ghost troubles in Baozhou, Li Yu came to Qianzhou City to do business, but he was just dragged by the star officer who felt the token to attend this "conference", so he planned to do the transaction as planned and then take the star officer as a guide and tiger skin.

"Businesses always ask for prices and pay back the money by doing business."

Leaving Qingluosi, the star official in black wearing a white mask led the way while confessing to Li Yu.

"Brother Li Yu, I know nothing about merchants. At most, I can only guarantee that the other party will not be too ruthless..."

"No, that's enough."

Li Yu knew that he was a "outsider" who was doing business in Qianzhou City and would definitely be frantically suppressed. Ordinary people would be afraid of warriors like him, but most of the big merchants would not be afraid. Instead of making trouble at that time, everyone's face was not good-looking, it would be better to bring up the star official of Qingluosi. Li Yu didn't believe that there were any merchants who dared not give face to the court.

"Several adults come to the shop and are in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you for your sins and forgive me!"

Sure enough, when the four of them arrived at the street-facing family with open doors, they did not display goods. Instead, they were blankets, bookshelf, porcelain and jewelry, and decorated the shop with elegant elegance in their wealth, a middle-aged businessman was already approaching.

This man looks about fifty years old, wearing a square flat scarf and a round silk neckline. He looks pretty and has a light beard, and his white face is slightly fat, which is very different from ordinary people who look dark when they often work.

“Please sit down,”

As Li Yu and the other four led the way, Bai Jing merchant turned his head and ordered the servant.

“Good tea.”

“Boss Gao, you don’t have to be polite.”

Because the star officials are all uniform black official uniforms and white hole masks. For familiar people, they can naturally distinguish them from their behavior, form, temperament and actions, but they are the same in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, the star officials clearly know this boss Gao, but the businessman doesn't know who is under the mask.

"This time I came here, not for public affairs, but for private matters."

"I don't know what's going on?"

The host and guest sat down, and Winnie and Feishu stood directly behind Li Yu.

As the master here, "Boss Gao" picked up the teacup given by the servant and took a sip. He was not afraid that Qingluosi's star official would come to make things difficult for others.

First, the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was quite honest, and Qingluo Si, who was directly under the imperial court, never had any blackmail; second, his Gao family bought a huge family business, and was not a lamb for anyone to control.

"This is Li Yu, the governor of Leyuan County, and is a martial artist who is 'craftsman'."

After the star official first introduced Li Yu's identity, he directly explained his purpose.

"Oh, I don't know if I want to buy or sell..."

"I want to sell ten thousand needles."

···

The hall was quiet for a few seconds before the rich Boss Gao nodded.

"Are you ten thousand needles? With the strength of the shop, it will take half a month to collect them at the earliest. I wonder if this young master——"

"I'm selling, not buying!"

Li Yu had to correct the other party's mistake again and let the matcha in Boss Gao's hand behave.

"Flying Squirrel,"

"Okay, Master."

The little blond beast-eared loli came up from behind and opened her mouth and vomited:

dong, dong, dong, dong,

Clothing wooden boxes fell on the blanket in the hall. As Li Yu reached out to signal, Boss Gao glanced slightly, and immediately a servant came forward to open the box: the inside was densely packed, and it was indeed steel needles about one inch or two long.

"Go and ask Jin Gong to come."

As Boss Gao ordered, another servant immediately left quickly. Soon, a tall and thin middle-aged man in a long gown came to the hall.

"Jin Gong, please check this batch of goods."

"yes,"

After the tall and thin middle-aged man in a long gown nodded his head and took the order, he immediately pinched the magic formula, muttered something in his mouth, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and his pupils immediately lit up.

In this world, extraordinary power is everywhere, so there are naturally many stories of "immortals playing with mortals without eyeballs". In those stories, immortals either turn broken bricks and tiles into gold and silver, or spit out cores to form trees... To put it bluntly, they are just "spraying" techniques, which can fool ordinary people, but cannot deceive big merchants.

"There are no traces of magic, they are all normal needles."

“The number is 10,000 and 230,”

After investigation, the middle-aged man with tall and thin long gown bowed to his boss. Boss Gao nodded and turned to look at Li Yu.

"Mr. Li is worthy of being an expert in 'craftsmanship and Taoism'. He is extraordinary when he takes these needles. Our Gao family has eaten them. What is the number of these needles?"

As he said that, Boss Gao stretched out four fingers.

"Hey, isn't a needle five cents per piece?"

Feishu couldn't help but speak, but Boss Gao didn't even look at her, but stared at Li Yu with a smile.

"good,"

Li Yu agreed immediately, and his psychological price was actually 3 min. The price of needles on the market is 5 min, but unless Li Yu is planning to open a store in Qianzhou City, how could he sell 5 min? 4 min is already a very good price, most of which is based on Qingluosi.

"Okay, Mr. Li speaks quickly."

Boss Gao put down the teacup and clapped his hands. A servant immediately took a letter of silver and handed it to Li Yu respectfully.

The business of dozens of taels of silver is nothing to this boss Gao, but selling Qingluosi with a favor and making friends with a "craftsman" warrior is also quite rewarding.

Of course, business is business.

If he directly offered Li Yu and others a price of fifty taels, he would not only not be able to sell favors, but would only be looked down upon.

"In the future, Mr. Li needs me if you have any needs. You can come to my 'Gaoming House'. Although my store is small, there will be no shortage of ordinary goods from all over the world."

"What if a large number of needles are made and sold to Boss Gao in the future?"

"Then I'll thank Mr. Li for taking care of the shop business."

Boss Gao made a generous promise, just a mere needle. His Gao family is the leading merchant family in Qianzhou. It also has branches on other state roads, so he has no worries about not being able to sell it.

"Brother Li Yu, why is this?"

After leaving the Gao family's shop, the star official tilted his head in the face of the 10 taels of silver handed over by Li Yu.

"I hope I don't refuse."

···

"Brother Li Yu, don't you think I helped you for money, do you?"

The star official with a white mask shook his head, his tone with a hint of melancholy.

"Yang Zi takes it for me, and plucks a hair and benefits the world, but it is not done. Mo Zi loves both the two, pushes the top and puts his heels, and benefits the world, and does it."

"The reason I help you is because everything you do in Leyuan County: resisting the tide of niggers, clearing ghost troubles, hiring old and young to work... The warriors and monks who are kind to ordinary people are worthy of my help."

Most of the strong people, even if they are not killing people, basically ignore ordinary people. Being able to pay attention to not hurting ordinary people during battles is a rare good person.

"It is to judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Li Yu took back the silver and bowed seriously to the star official wearing a mask.

"You are a good official."

"With Brother Li Yu's words, this trip is worth it. It's a pity that I can't have a drink with you~~"

———

Qingluosi,

"Do you have anything to redeem?"

After selling the goods and obtaining a huge sum of forty taels of silver, Li Yu and others returned to Qingluosi and prepared to see what good things can be exchanged for the 10 prepaid achievements, and then buy materials and other things~~

"I don't want it,"
