"These are all broken things! Are these bandits? Why do they feel poorer than beggars? What is this? A broken cup, made of silver? Try to bite it... Oops! His grandma made this from tin!"
Covering his mouth, Xiao Han threw out an ancient-looking cup!
The cup with a faint tooth mark on it rolled all the way down the middle aisle, rolling until it stopped under a pair of feet.
"Scare! Who are you?"
Xiao Han didn't expect there was anyone else in the warehouse, and was almost startled. He quickly looked at the person with a torch. Unfortunately, Curry is too dark, and I can only barely tell that he is a fat man.
"Hahaha, the villain Xinpeng has met the Marquis of Sanyuan County!" Without Xiao Han looking carefully, the fat man came out of the darkness on his own.
Another one who laughs before saying anything! He has a round face with a smile even when he talks, a pair of mustaches under his nose, and his small eyes are shining!
"Looking like this, it would be a shame not to be a profiteer!" This was the first impression that came to Xiao Han's mind.
Xiao Han was still looking at the visitor, but the quartermaster who had been accompanying Xiao Han spoke first: "Xiao Hou, this is a big businessman from Chang'an. He can transport the salt we produce to Chang'an or other places! Moreover, General Changsun also asked him to exchange the things we collected into money and food so that he could give them to the brothers as rewards."
Let me just say, looking like this, he is indeed a profiteer!
After listening to the quartermaster's introduction, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel proud of his "fiery eyes"! He slightly arched his hands towards Xin Peng and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Xin, haha. Just looking at such a powerful surname, three gold! I know that the business must be quite big!"
Xin Peng's expression did not change, and there always seemed to be a smile on his fat face. He also cupped his hands at Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Hou has been praised too much. I just have to make a living. I am new here, so I have to ask the adults to take care of me." !”
After that, without waiting for Xiao Han to speak, he took out a square wooden box from his arms and handed it to Xiao Han respectfully: "It's our first time meeting you. This is a small tribute from me! Thank you Xiao Hou for your salt-making skills. , let the villain earn some money here."
"So polite?" Xiao Han was a little surprised when he looked at the wooden box, but in line with the principle of taking nothing from profiteers, he still gave the torch to the quartermaster and took it with his free hand.
The wooden box is ordinary, flat and about the size of two palms. After popping the copper lock and opening the lid, a set of golden jewelry appeared in front of Xiao Han.
Since Xiao Han became the Marquis, he has seen a lot of gold, and naturally he has developed a good eye for identifying gold! It's like the last emperor of China, Puyi, went to do antique appraisal after being laid off. The only thing he said was: This one doesn't look like the one in my house! No skills required, just familiarity with them!
At this moment, the quartermaster turned his back and did not look at the contents of the wooden box. Xiao Han glanced at Xinpeng, and took out a Feihuang hairpin from the wooden box. It felt a little heavy when he started to hold it, and it shone with an alluring light under the light of the torch! Xiao Han could tell just by looking at this thing that it was definitely made of gold and not half fake!
Who is this person? Not only can he take over the job of selling salt! You can also get the approval of Changsun Shunde and have free access to the warehouse! He actually knows himself so well, and has found out all about his hobbies and needs!
You must know that Xiao Han came here to collect things today just to find something to send to Xue Pan when he returns to Chang'an in two days! After all, when you go traveling in the future, you must bring some souvenirs to make sure your trip is not in vain!
"This...how did this happen? How did it happen?" Xiao Han held the golden hairpin and became curious about this person named Xin Peng. Various signs showed that this person was definitely not an ordinary businessman.
Xin Peng was also experienced in the world. When he saw Xiao Han becoming suspicious, he pointed at himself and pretended to be helpless and said to him: "Haha, Xiao Hou, please feel free to accept it! Swords are given to heroes, and beautiful jade is given to gentlemen. .This good thing must be put to full use so that its value will not be in vain!
And look at me, I look like this, and I am a businessman. I have long given up the dream of being a confidante! On the contrary, Mr. Marquis, you are young, promising, and unparalleled in your wits! Come to think of it, there is always the beauty I like that I miss day and night! If the Marquis gave this set of jewelry to the beauty, it would be considered as a pearl that would not be covered in dust! Of course, Lord Marquis, you can rest assured that this set of jewelry is absolutely brand new and has never been used before! "
I like this kind of knowledgeable person! Even if Xiao Han knew that being courteous for nothing was either adultery or theft, he didn't want to give this set of jewelry back!
He really likes this set of jewelry, not just because it is made of gold, but because the workmanship is so beautiful!
Xiao Han has always felt that the ancients' pursuit of beautiful things was even more perverted than modern people! Even though they don't have as good equipment as modern ones, with a pair of skillful hands, they can make things that are beyond imagination of modern people!
Just like this golden hairpin, the soaring phoenix on it seems to come alive. With a slight movement of your fingers, the phoenix's wings tremble slightly, as if it is really going to fly straight into the nine heavens. This skill is absolutely breathtaking.
Carefully put the jewelry back into place and close the box. Xiao Han held the box and said to Xinpeng very affectionately: "Okay! Since Brother Xin said so, it would seem that I am not generous enough if I don't accept it! But in Xiazhou City, I have nothing to give in return, only good wine I can treat you to some good tea, you won’t mind it, right?”
Xin Peng was laughing so hard that he could hardly see his eyes. Hearing this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "How could it be possible? How could it be possible? When I was in Chang'an, I heard that Xiao Mansion's wine is the best in the world. Now that I can taste it, I can't help but wish for it!"
"Haha, everyone Xin is really good at talking. No wonder the business is so big! Please!"
"Master Marquis, please!"
The wine is steamed wine, rich and mellow. The tea is roasted and has a long flavor.
Xiao Han couldn't remember what was said at the wine table. He only remembered that the person opposite him spoke very nicely and made you feel very comfortable without even knowing it! And once you feel comfortable, drinking becomes much easier!
After waking up from alcohol the next day, Xiao Han held his head and wondered: How can this fat man drink so well? This seemed to be the first person in the Tang Dynasty who drank himself down. Could it be that this fat man's belly was full of wine?
But thinking about last night's scene again, Xiao Han suddenly remembered a detail. The fat man always seemed to use his sleeves to cover himself when drinking... If he didn't understand that he was being cheated, Xiao Han's life would have been in vain!
"This damn profiteer! You actually lied to me!" He cursed angrily, and Xiao Han tried hard to get off the bed, but suddenly he saw Xiaodong and Lengzi carrying something into the house.
"Hey? Xiaodong, what is this? How do you move it into the house?"
Xiaodong struggled to put the wooden box in the corner, wiped his sweat and said to Xiao Han strangely: "Master Hou? Have you drunk too much? Didn't you give the manufacturing rights of carts and cement to that guy named Xinpeng yesterday? These are the deposits he sent!”
