I Open a General Store in Early Tang

Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...

Chapter 16 I Won’t Be Struck by Lightning!!!

When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he was not only unhappy, but his face darkened:

"Master Zhuang, no, Brother Zhuang, you are looking down on everyone! I am from Chang'an, and I have seen all kinds of good things."

Zhuang Zhou blurted out:

"Didn't you fail the glassware I sold you today?"

"This... well, I've definitely never seen anything this good."

Wang Zhigui admitted it openly, but soon thought of something else:

"By the way, Brother Zhuang, you don't have many other kinds of glassware like this, do you?"

Zhuang Zhou felt his chrysanthemum tighten, and hurriedly explained:

"I don't know about that. I bought it from someone else. I think there should be only one set of glassware as good as this!"

"That's great! Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of money!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled awkwardly.

I imagine that one day, every household in Chang'an City used glass products.

Each lady had a string of glass beads in her hand.

That scene, that situation...

Wouldn’t Wang Zhigui chase me with a knife every day?

It seems that I will have to spend money to hire some bodyguards in the future!

This is to protect myself.

Secondly, I really opened a grocery store in Chang'an City in the future.

There has to be someone to guard the house!

But it is not necessary for now.

Take it one step at a time!

"Manager Wang, please introduce your house to me first!"

"Dele!"

Wang Zhigui once again revealed his nature as a businessman and spoke a lot.

Zhuang Zhou also roughly understood that this was a courtyard with two entrances.

There is a street-facing shop in front, a large courtyard in the middle, and a backyard at the back, but it looks a bit deserted.

There is a big locust tree in the corner of the yard, and there are many fallen leaves on the ground.

The three rooms look quite old.

"Brother Zhuang, even though this yard looks a bit run-down, the furniture in the house is still usable. We can just tidy it up and move in directly!"

As he said that, he opened the door and led Zhuang Zhou into the house to take a look.

Zhuang Zhou looked around the yard again. To be honest, he really liked this yard.

The shops facing the street were originally bustling.

But in this yard, it seems very quiet.

When I have time, I'll find someone to take care of it, and it will be a really good place to stay.

"Then Shopkeeper Wang, could you please give me a sincere price?"

Zhuang Zhou was no longer reserved and asked directly about the price.

"Brother Zhuang, honestly, I'm quite impressed by you. Let's put it this way: including the furniture in the house, a total of one hundred and twenty strings of cash. One price!"

To be honest, Zhuang Zhou didn't know what the real estate market price in Chang'an was at that time.

But one hundred and twenty strings of cash is more than enough for Zhuang Zhou to spend now.

However, Zhuang Zhou did not intend to pay money, but was prepared to use goods as compensation.

"Shopkeeper Wang, seeing that you are so sincere, to be honest, I have something good to talk to you about!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou took out three mirrors, a pound of pepper and a can of tea from his bag.

Good job!

This is like catching a sheep and pulling it to death!

Looking at the things Zhuang Zhou took out one by one, Wang Zhigui raised his eyebrows suddenly.

This guy has some good treasures!

Dele!

Watch how I use my lifelong talents to trick you.

Ha ha!

I’m going to post again!

"Brother Zhuang, what are these?"

"Shopkeeper Wang, you'll know if you come and take a look!"

As he said that, Zhuang Zhou handed over a pound of pepper.

"ah?"

Shopkeeper Wang shouted:

"This, this, this...is this pepper?!"

"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang, this is just pepper! Why are you so excited?"

Zhuang Zhou was startled by his shout.

“Oh my!”

Wang Zhigui sighed repeatedly:

"Brother Zhuang, you don't know, this pepper is as precious as gold!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhigui seemed to feel that he shouldn't have said this.

This reveals all the cards.

Zhuang Zhou didn't care.

In fact, I had posted a special thread to consult netizens long before I came here.

The netizen named Yun Zhonghe has already said it.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, pepper was as valuable as gold.

Especially in the city of Chang'an, only the powerful and wealthy can eat pepper at every meal.

Pepper was not produced locally at this time.

It is still foreign goods, all dependent on imports.

Most of them come from Southeast Asia.

And this pepper is also extremely useful.

Such as spicy soup, pepper noodles, barbecued beef and mutton, etc.

They all cannot do without pepper.

There is even a saying that gold is easy to come by, but pepper is hard to come by.

To put it more bluntly, it is Li Erfeng, the king of a country.

It is also impossible to be pepper-free.

So it’s no wonder that Wang Zhigui was so excited.

"Brother Zhuang, you must sell this pepper to me. Just name the price."

Wang Zhigui simply gave it a go.

There was no way, he had just carefully examined the bag of pepper.

The grains are full, the color is bright, and the quality is absolutely first-class.

"Brother Wang, let's not talk about this for now."

As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou took out an exquisite folding mirror:

"Look at this again."

Wang Zhigui was still waiting for Zhuang Zhou to quote a price, but the other party refused to talk and instead brought out something else.

His mind was now entirely preoccupied with pepper.

He took it half-heartedly and looked at it, then suddenly screamed again:
