007: Dowry

Zhang Cong opened his eyes and saw that it was already dark. The most amazing thing at this moment was that he didn't feel tired at all. Even if he didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

On the contrary, the whole body feels extremely comfortable, as if the whole body has just been washed with clear spring water.

Zhang Cong stretched his hands and feet, and with the crackling sound of stretching, Zhang Cong got up early.

When he came to the window sill, he picked up the vial, which contained about a dozen drops of spiritual fluid. After carefully putting the vial away, Zhang Cong opened the door.

After walking out of the courtyard, he walked towards the town without stopping.

I have already let go of the wild ginseng, so I have to choose some betrothal gifts for Xiaohua again.

After about an hour, a low hill appeared in front of Zhang Cong. Beyond the hill, the huge Black Dragon Town appeared in front of him.

Just after walking through the Materia Medica Hall, Zhang Cong heard a charming voice calling from behind: "Hey, little brother, why are you here so early today? Could it be that you have found another good Ganoderma lucidum and come here to buy it?"

Sell."

Zhang Cong followed the direction of the sound and saw a familiar figure standing in front of the Bencaotang store.

It was the woman in a plain dress who was in charge of receiving Zhang Cong in front of the door. At this moment, the woman was wearing a lavender dress, holding her arms, leaning on the pillar at the door, looking at Zhang Cong with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Zhang Cong bowed to the woman, smiled lightly, and said: "Sister, I misunderstood, I'm not here to sell medicinal materials today, but don't worry, I do have a few good-quality Ganoderma lucidum. I'll give it another day."

I brought it here specially and will sell it to your home together."

Hearing this, the woman's face looked serious for a moment, but then the smile on her face became even stronger.

Zhang Cong saw that this woman looked charming and charming today, still as usual.

Seeing the woman's brighter smile when she heard that she still had a few Ganoderma lucidum plants for sale, Zhang Cong didn't pay much attention.

This woman is still very kind at heart. When Zhang Cong came here for the first time, he could see that this woman was obviously the kind of person who has a sharp mouth but a soft heart.

"It's best. Don't forget this, little brother. In this huge Heilong Town, only our herbal medicine hall can eat your Ganoderma. If you go to other places to sell it, it's not sure whether people will recognize the product.

"

After the woman finished speaking, she covered her face and smiled.

But in his heart, he thought: "This stupid boy dares to sell hundreds of taels of Ganoderma lucidum. He is really stupid. It is really too much not to mention my sister. I have taken advantage of this boy for nothing."

The Ganoderma lucidum plant was sold to my sister for nine hundred taels of silver. If this guy found out, he would probably be angry to death.

But seeing how poor this kid was, he was able to come up with such precious medicinal materials for sale. It seemed that he was not a descendant of a wealthy family.

Seeing how pitiful this boy is, if this boy really comes back with hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to sell next time, I'd better ask my sister to give him more."

Thinking of this, the woman laughed twice.

Zhang Cong saw the woman laughing nonstop, curled her lips helplessly, and then bowed her head and said: "Sister, I have something to do today, so I won't bother you. I will talk to my sister in detail when I come to sell Ganoderma lucidum another day."

The woman heard this and nodded.

Zhang Cong then turned around and walked towards the depths of the long street. After taking just two steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back.

Seeing Zhang Cong come back again, the woman asked in surprise: "Is there anything else that I forgot?"

Zhang Cong laughed and said: "I really have something to trouble my sister. Do you know that there are the best silks, rouge and gouache, and jade utensils?"

The woman heard that Zhang Cong was going to the silk, rouge and gouache shop.

He immediately asked with great interest: "Brother, I have a happy event today. I bought it to please my wife, and I have to go to a matchmaker to propose a marriage."

Seeing this, Zhang Cong smiled honestly and said, "I'm here to propose marriage."

After hearing this, the woman nodded and said, "If you want to buy good silk and satin, go to Jiaxingtai Fang in the west of the town, where you can buy the best silk and satin.

For rouge gouache and jade hairpins, go to Laurel Pavilion on this street. The rouge gouache is the best, and

The price is right.

When you get to Yuegui Pavilion, tell Jin Sangui that you were recommended by the second lady of the Qin family, and maybe I can get you a cheaper price."

Zhang Cong said goodbye to the woman and went straight to Yuegui Pavilion on the long street. After entering, he made a shopping spree, which made the store owner who was a little fat suddenly burst into laughter.

The shop owner also specially arranged for a waiter to follow him, holding a tray. Whatever Zhang Cong wanted, the waiter quickly put it on the tray.

Soon, the waiter's tray was full. When Zhang Cong saw this, he thought it was almost done. Just when he was about to check out, he suddenly saw an ebony box on the counter of the store with five pieces of milky white jade jewelry on it.

When the fat boss saw Zhang Cong's eyes focused on the ebony box, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, walked behind Zhang Cong, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have such a good eye, you fell in love with this set of jewelry at a glance.

.

To be honest with you, this is authentic mutton-fat jade. You can see how shiny it is. It is made from jade transported thousands of miles from the mountainous areas in the west.

You will never find another set of such good jewelry in the entire Black Dragon Town."

Zhang Cong glanced at the fat boss and murmured in his heart. The fat boss boasted very well. If he spoke so powerfully, he would probably kill himself severely later.

After clearing his throat, Zhang Cong picked up one piece and said to the fat boss: "Okay, I'll cover this set of jade jewelry. Boss, please do the math."

Hearing this, the boss suddenly beamed with joy and quickly ordered the waiter to place the items in the tray and the set of jade jewelry on the counter one by one.

Next, the fat boss took out a small golden abacus from his body. A fat hand was flipping up and down on the abacus flexibly.

The waiter on the other side kept his eyes fixed on the abacus, occasionally writing something in the account book nearby. The two sang together, and after a while, the fat boss raised his head.

He glanced at Zhang Cong with a smile and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please hold up. Here is the account book. These rouges and gouache total three taels of silver and jade jewelry eighteen taels of silver.

Seeing that you have a relationship with Miss Qin Er from Zhongcaotang, she is also a regular customer here. Let me give you a sum of twenty taels."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clerk quickly handed the account he just remembered to Zhang Cong.

Zhang Cong just glanced at it and put it aside. Looking at the fat boss, he deliberately looked embarrassed and frowned.

When the fat boss saw Zhang Cong's expression, he immediately said: "Brother, what's wrong? Don't you like these goods very much?"

Zhang Cong shook his head and said calmly: "No, the goods are good, but the price, boss, is a bit..."

When the boss heard this, his eyes rolled around a few times, and he smiled and said: "Sir, our Yuegui Fong is famous for its high quality and low price. Everyone knows this.

This price is quite reasonable. So if you still think it’s expensive, I’ll have to put it back again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the clerk took back the account book, walked to the counter, picked up the tray placed in the corner again, and was about to pick up a jar of rouge and put it into the tray.

Zhang Cong laughed loudly, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and fanned his face like a fan.

"Boss, your ventilation is not very good. The room is really stuffy. I think your door could be wider. It would definitely be cooler."

The boss saw the banknote in Zhang Cong's hand, then looked at the clerk who was clearing away the bottles and jars on the table, and quickly sent the clerk aside.

Then he said loudly: "You kid, why are you so ignorant? The guests have been standing for so long. Please move my chair out quickly."

The waiter looked at the two of them, nodded, and quickly ran to the inner room, brought out a chair, and placed it respectfully in front of Zhang Cong.

Zhang Cong was not polite at all and sat down on it.

The boss quickly made a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Cong with a smile on his face.
