Wu Zhi took advantage of the horse's rest and hurried to the market nearest to their carriage.
But when he asked, he learned that at this time, there was no such thing as chili pepper.
At this time, Wu Zhi really felt like crying without tears.
But he was not a person who was willing to give in to fate easily, so he thought of another spicy seasoning in his mind.
black pepper!
There is no chili pepper, so there should be pepper, right?
Although the irritation of this stuff is less than that of chili peppers, if the amount is large, it can still achieve the same effect as chili peppers.
What makes Wu Zhi extremely happy is that pepper did exist during this period.
What made him depressed was that pepper during this period was very expensive!
What if he were asked to grind the pepper into powder and put it into a cannonball to blow up Song Jiang and his gang?
It's almost the same as going to hit Song Jiang's group with silver coins in hand.
At this time, Wu Zhi was in a state of panic.
He regrets it now. He really should have vigorously developed his military strength first, and then gradually expanded his business territory.
If he had done this back then, he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
What to do?
How about returning to the carriage and seeing if there are any more powerful weapons in the system.
Fortunately, at this time, he still had quite a lot of money.
This was his only comfort.
Just when Wu Zhi was dejected and ready to return to the carriage.
I felt a pungent aroma coming from an unknown stall on the street.
The scent is just like the scent of rouge worn by women in this era.
However, the smell was extremely pungent.
If people smell it for a long time, it may even make people have the urge to sneeze.
When Wu Zhi smelled the smell and turned around to look, he saw a very simple street shop.
The owner of the shop is an old woman in her late fifties.
Next to her stood a little girl about seven or eight years old.
At this time, he was looking at the old woman next to him with a pitiful expression.
Because of the pungent fragrance, Wu Zhi's interest has been firmly aroused.
So at this time, he walked towards the small stall.
When he came to the stall, he saw that the stall was filled with rouge and gouache used by ordinary women in this period.
Judging from the appearance of the ones on the left, you can tell that they are slightly more expensive high-end products.
As for the ones on the right, you can tell at a glance that they are some unfashionable things.
And those pungent fragrances are emitted from the purple-red powder-like things on the right.
Wu Zhi reached out, pinched a small handful of purple-red powder from the small bag, put it in front of his nose, and sniffed lightly.
Suddenly, an extremely overbearing fragrance penetrated into Wu Zhi's nose.
He choked, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he sneezed several times.
As for the old woman in front of the stall, she saw Wu Zhi's embarrassed look with a frown on his face and tears in his eyes.
Suddenly I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare.
After all, judging from Wu Zhi's outfit, we know that this person is either rich or noble.
So he hurriedly said:
"My guest, do you want to choose some rouge and gouache for your wife?"
"You can't use those. Those are the most common perfume powders."
"Looking at the guest officer's attire, he must be a noble person, so the ladies in the family must not be used to it."
"So, you should take a look at the rouge and gouache on the left side of my stall."
"Those ones will be more high-end, maybe the guest lady will be used to them."
Wu Zhi nodded slowly after hearing this, and then wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand to remove the choked tears.
He slowly said something that made the old woman stunned.
"This thing is very, very good."
"I walked the whole street looking for these things."
The old woman looked at Wu Zhi blankly, thinking he was sarcastic, so she quickly explained:
"My guest, for a noble person like you, the rouge and gouache that my wife usually uses must be the best choice."
"Such inferior perfume powder is certainly not suitable for a lady to use."
However, after the martial artist listened to these words of the old woman, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What the aunt said is true. My wife is usually very delicate, so naturally she doesn't like these things."
"But this time I bought it, not for my wife, but for a group of bandits and strongmen."
The old woman standing in front of the stall was completely confused now.
She has been running this rouge, gouache, and spice business for more than ten years.
However, I have never seen a customer with such special preferences as this one today.
At this time, Wu Zhi was holding the powder in the small bag with his hands and smiling excitedly.
"Madam, how many low-quality fragrant powders like this do you have here?"
The old woman smiled awkwardly, and then thought for a while.
"In my stall, I can probably weigh about five or six pounds."
"At home, I estimate I still have about 11 or 2 pounds."
Wu Zhi stroked the sparse stubble on his chin with his hand and frowned.
"It's still a little lacking."
"I wonder, aunt, if there is any way to get some more for me."
The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched slightly.
I couldn't help but think to myself, this thing can't be used as food, why do you need so much?
"I don't know, I wonder how much this guest wants?"
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, Wu Zhi took up the topic impatiently.
"The more the better, the more the better!"
"If the bargain you got can satisfy me, then I will have another reward and I will never break my promise."
"But I just ask you, aunt, to move faster. I need it urgently."
After hearing this, the old woman nodded in astonishment.
Then, he picked up the little girl standing beside him and ran as far away as possible.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Two quarters of an hour passed.
As Wu Zhi waited, he became increasingly anxious.
But just when he was hesitating whether to leave first.
The old woman from before, carrying two big bags, staggered over at a trot from a distance.
"This, this guest, I, I, I got you dozens of kilograms this time."
"I don't know, I don't know if it's enough for you?"
Although there are so many low-quality fragrance powders, it is still a little worse than Wu Zhi's psychological expectations.
Because in his opinion, it would take at least several hundred kilograms to use.
But after all, it is better than nothing.
And now, with time and heavy tasks, he couldn't help but search for these things in detail.
