Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said: "You also know that it is difficult for Qian's grain to be transported to Qin's territory. I pay you the price of one stone of grain, which is enough to buy two stones of grain when I get to Qian's place. Speaking of which, I I still suffered a loss"
In this space, food is similar to nuclear weapons from the outside world. They are strategic materials and are usually only allowed to circulate on the territory of each clan. According to this statement, the price given by Shopkeeper Wu is quite generous.
But Qin Feng knows that these business people have their own channels. Since he dares to exchange with Qin Feng, he must have a way to transport the food out of Qian's family.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Wu, one stone is worth one stone."
Qin Feng thought for a moment, waved to Shopkeeper Wu, and said, "I have something else. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wu would be interested in it?"
"Oh? What object is it?"
Shopkeeper Wu leaned over and said, "As long as it's a good product, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price. Everyone in this town knows that I, Old Wu, am a child and a child in business"
"I take it you are honest and dishonest, right?" Qin Feng was very angry at Shopkeeper Wu. He had just stolen a stone's worth of food from him, but in the blink of an eye, he dared to say that he was an innocent child?
"Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment!" After hearing Qin Feng's words, shopkeeper Wu's eyes almost narrowed with laughter, and he repeatedly raised his hands to Qin Feng.
"Damn, he actually thanked me after scolding me? Is there anything wrong with him?"
Qin Feng was a little confused by Shopkeeper Wu's attitude. He shook his head and said no more nonsense. He took out the package from under the table, opened a gap, and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, look at this object. How much is it worth? money?"
"Finefine steel?"
Seeing the contents of the package, shopkeeper Wu suddenly became excited, grabbed the package and said, "Friend, youis this really fine steel?"
To make iron into hardness, a lot of dross needs to be removed. Therefore, the price of steel here is much higher than that of iron. Shopkeeper Wu recognized it at a glance. The quality of the object in Qin Feng's package must be higher than that of iron.
Ironware is already very rare here, and if it is made of fine steel, it will be even more expensive.
And it is impossible for these things to be circulated among the people. Most of them are looted by people from the five major clans and made into weapons to enrich their guards.
"Yes, it's stainless steel" Qin Feng nodded and put the package on the table. He said with a half-smile: "Shopkeeper Wu, can you give me a price?"
"Thisall of these?" Shopkeeper Wu's breathing became rapid.
"Yes!" Qin Feng pointed to the package and said, "It weighs forty-two kilograms in total. Can you eat Shopkeeper Wu's?"
The steel block in Qin Feng's package is actually the steel plate that Zhang Hu brought out from the mountain. Qin Feng folded it together and put it into the package.
"Yes! Of course it can."
Shopkeeper Wu was afraid that Qin Feng would not buy the steel block for him, so he patted his chest and said: "In this Ping'an Town, except me, Old Wu, who else can afford this thing?"
"Okay, Mr. Wu. Make an offer!"
Qin Feng said that when he was in Qian's territory, he could still use some of the food stamps accumulated by Uncle Zhang in exchange for food, but when he arrived in Qin, those food stamps were no longer useful, which was why Qin Feng wanted to sell the steel blocks.
"How about fivefive stones of grain?" Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment. He held out five fingers and said, "How about five stones of good grain in exchange for this steel block?"
"Five stones?"
After hearing what Shopkeeper Wu said, Qin Feng and Uncle Zhang who were sitting next to him looked at each other and said, "Shopkeeper Wu is quite kind. Just five stones. You can use the food stamps that are common in Qin. This thing It¡¯s yours¡¡±
Qin Feng and Zhang Xiaotian had discussed before that this piece of fine steel should be sold for about six stones. Shopkeeper Wu offered a price of five stones, and Qin Feng was too lazy to bargain.
In fact, this is also a cognitive issue.
In the space where Qin Feng lives, steel is widely used in life and can be seen everywhere. Qin Feng has never regarded these things as food. Even in this space, it is difficult for him to change his mind.
"Okay, my friend, please move to the store" Shopkeeper Wu glanced around and said, "There are many people in this place, let's talk somewhere else"
"By the way, I still don't know your surname, guest?" Shopkeeper Wu slapped his head. Only now did he remember that he had not asked Qin Feng's name.
"My surname is Qin, and my last name is Feng!"
?When he came to Qin's territory, Qin Feng didn't need to deliberately hide his name. Anyway, no one in this space knew who he was.
"It turns out he is a descendant of the Qin family. Wu is disrespectful" When he heard Qin Feng announce his name, shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Shopkeeper Wu, what's wrong?" Qin Feng asked strangely, and he naturally saw the change in shopkeeper Wu's expression.
"It's nothing. Brother Qin, just come with me"
Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said: "Brother Qin ordered me to deliver the food directly. I also have a bottle of fine wine there. I will get drunk with Brother Qin today"
Qin Feng's surname is Qin, and he can produce this fine steel. In the opinion of Shopkeeper Wu, Qin Feng must be a direct descendant of the Qin family and stole the family's treasures to sell them. This kind of thing is not uncommon, Shopkeeper Wu Have encountered it before.
"Okay, then I'll bother shopkeeper Wu!" Qin Feng laughed, and after saying hello to Uncle Zhang, the four of them followed shopkeeper Wu downstairs.
Shopkeeper Wu was very good at being a good person. He settled Qin Feng's account first, and then asked the waiter to add a few more dishes and have them delivered to his shop.
However, Qin Feng and others did not notice that when they left the restaurant, the two people wearing cloaks who were sitting in a corner on the second floor also paid their bills and followed behind.
After arriving at the store, shopkeeper Wu carefully inspected the piece of fine steel, then asked a waiter to greet Qin Feng and others to eat and drink, while he got busy.
"Uncle Zhang, I said before that shopkeeper Wu is neither a traitor nor a businessman. Why is he so happy?" Qin Feng asked Uncle Zhang after letting the accompanying man go out.
"Why are you unhappy?" Uncle Zhang looked at Qin Feng strangely and said, "This word is meant to praise businessmen."
"Praising a businessman?" Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this. Uncle Zhang's words simply overturned his understanding of this idiom.
"of course."
Uncle Zhang nodded and said: "When we buy rice here, we use a liter bucket as a measuring instrument. A conscientious businessman will put some rice into the rice basket and add it to the rice bucket, so that the surface of the smoothed rice will be bulging. It¡¯s like a bunch of sharp ends, so there¡¯s no point in talking about anything¡¡±
"Is there any other way to say this?"
Qin Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this. He only knew it now. The idiom "dare to love" was not a derogatory term at first, but it has changed its nature as it spreads now.
"Qin Feng, do you really want to sell this treasure?"
After explaining the origin of Wu Jian Bu Shi, Uncle Zhang looked at the package containing steel blocks on the table with some distress, his eyes were like a beggar from the outside looking at a bag of gold.
"Uncle Zhang, this thing is of no use. It will still be a burden if you keep it. It would be great to sell it and exchange it for something useful."
Looking at Uncle Zhang¡¯s expression of reluctance. Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh. If he hadn't persuaded Zhang Hu when he came out of the mountain, Zhang Hu might have brought out the steel bearing as well.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's drink" After these few months of getting along, Uncle Zhang knew that Qin Feng was very determined, so he didn't say anything more at the moment.
Nearly an hour later, I returned to the store. A stack of food stamps of varying amounts was placed on the table.
"The six-stone food stamps are all here. Please take a look at it, Brother Qin" Shopkeeper Wu looked a little tired. But he was in good spirits and was obviously very satisfied with the business.
"Well, there are so many loose stamps?" Qin Feng took a cursory glance and found that in this stack of food stamps, except for two one-stone stamps, the others were all smaller-amount loose stamps.
"To be honest, Brother Qin, Mr. Wu even took out his daughter's dowry." Shopkeeper Wu smiled bitterly and said, "If the shop hadn't also stocked up some ready food, it really wouldn't have been able to produce so much food. Tickets come"
Shopkeeper Wu didn't lie. In order to buy Qin Feng's piece of fine steel, he even mortgaged a jade dragon pendant that he loved very much to the pawnshop. This was enough to collect six shi of food stamps.
???????????????????? But Shopkeeper Wu doesn¡¯t do loss-making business. This kind of fine steel is not only rare among the people, but also rare among the five major clans. Many direct descendants only wear weapons made of iron.
It¡¯s not that these direct descendants have no money, but that fine steel is too rare. Shopkeeper Wu buys this piece of fine steel. As long as he finds the right buyer, he can make a lot of money when he sells it.
"I'm afraid Shopkeeper Wu won't do a loss-making business, right?" Qin Feng smiled and collected the food stamps, and said, "I have something else I want to ask Shopkeeper Wu about."
"What's the matter with Brother Qin?" Shopkeeper Wu slapped his chest and asked,He said: "As long as I, Old Wu, know everything, I can definitely tell you everything!"
Qin Feng stared into Shopkeeper Wu¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Shopkeeper Wu, I would like to ask, is the capital of Qin still there?¡±
"Qinthe capital of Qin?"
Hearing these two words from Qin Feng¡¯s mouth, shopkeeper Wu¡¯s expression suddenly changed. After looking around, he turned around and closed the door of the house, and said carefully: ¡°Brother Qin, why did you mention Qindu? This is taboo!¡±
As he spoke, shopkeeper Wu's eyes showed doubts. As a member of the Qin family, why didn't Qin Feng know that after the incident that year, the capital of Qin was burned to ashes?
And since then, Qindu has become a taboo topic among the five major clans. It is strictly forbidden to mention these two words among the people, otherwise it will be punished as rebellion.
"Ahem, Shopkeeper Wu, my branch used to live in the mountains. Now we are the only ones left in the family. We had no choice but to leave the mountains. Otherwise, I would not have sold this family heirloom!"
Qin Feng coughed a few times and gave an explanation, which made shopkeeper Wu's face look a little better. The place where they live is mountainous, and indeed some families have been hiding for hundreds of years and have little contact with the outside world. .
"So this is ah?"
Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment and asked: "Brother Qin, you should also know that the royal family in Qindu is no longer here. What's wrong with you where you are going?"
Qin Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this, made a helpless look, and said: "I used to hear from the elders of the family that Qindu is the place where my Qin family originated, so I wanted to take a look. Who knew I could ask this question? No one told me"
Uncle Zhang had never left the Qian family's territory in his life. He didn't know where the Qin capital was. However, when Qin Feng inquired about the Qin capital in the Qian family's territory, he caused a lot of trouble. The shopkeeper inquired.
"It would have been great if I didn't arrest you."
Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said: "Three hundred kilometers east from here is the capital of Qin, but it has long been in ruins, so don't go there."
Shopkeeper Wu still has a good impression of Qin Feng. People who live under the Qin family's rule are actually the ones who are most disgusted by the people who are now in charge of the Qin family.
Because the current Qin family, who is also a descendant of the Qin family, teamed up with outsiders to eradicate the royal family that was the core of their surname. In the eyes of outsiders, this was an act of bullying the master and destroying the ancestors.
"We just went to pay our respects"
After receiving the news from Qindu, Qin Feng stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper Wu, for informing me. We will meet again later"¡ª¡ª
ps: I have something to do these days, so I will resume two updates on the 8th. Alas, I can¡¯t code quietly. I hope I can calm down after this busy period. (To be continued)
