Ambergris is also called ambergris.

It is known as one of the four great incenses of ancient times, along with musk, agarwood, and sandalwood.

Among them, ambergris ranks first.

It is the rarest and most precious among natural spices.

After listening to Miss Hongyu's story, Zhuang Zhou already understood that this thing must be very valuable.

If I bring it back and sell it to Expert Liu, I might be able to make a lot of money.

"What's your name, big brother?"

Zhuang Zhou asked the middle-aged man, and his tone changed completely.

"My name is Wang Qiao."

"Okay, Brother Wang, how are you going to sell this thing, no, this treasure?"

Wang Qiao seemed to think about it seriously and said:

"Someone offered me twenty strings of copper coins when I got up, but I asked them to add one string more and they refused. I just didn't want to sell it to them."

After a pause, he glanced at Niu Jiujin:

"Later, I ran into Brother Jiujin at Xishikou. He heard about my situation and brought me here. Mr. Zhuang, can you spare me twenty-one strings of copper coins?"

Twenty-one strings of copper coins?

This is really not a small amount.

But to Zhuang Zhou, these copper coins are like game coins.

Really, it doesn't feel like I'm using it as money at all.

So he directly offered a price:

"Brother Wang, I'll give you 22 strings of cash, one extra string, so we can be friends. If you have this kind of stuff in the future, bring it to me. How about that?"

Wangqiao is certainly what he wants!

He originally thought that Zhuang Zhou would bargain hard.

And he was also prepared to bargain.

As long as the price was no less than eighteen strings of copper coins, he would make the move.

But who knows.

Instead of bargaining, the other party added another coin.

But Wang Qiao is really an honest man.

After hearing Zhuang Zhou say this, I felt a little guilty:

"Master Zhuang, please don't raise the price, just give me twenty-one strings of cash. I'll come back to you when I have something to sell."

This is the true word.

He was deeply touched by Zhuang Zhou's straightforwardness.

Although he didn't spend much time in the city.

But the merchants in the city are all too shrewd.

Not only do they bargain aggressively, but more importantly, they work together to lower prices.

Therefore, it is rare to see merchants like Mr. Zhuang who take the initiative to raise prices.

"No need! Just twenty-two strings of cash."

Zhuang Zhou made the decision immediately and asked Ma San to keep a record of the amount, and then converted it into twenty taels of silver and two strings of copper coins for him.

Wang Qiao was so moved that his eyes filled with tears and he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

Niu Jiujin also said goodbye and left. Then Zhuang Zhou turned to Miss Hongyu and asked:

"How do you know this? Do you know medicine?"

Anyone who can recognize such a treasure at a glance must be a professional.

At least he is someone who understands medicine.

Miss Hongyu nodded, and the maid next to her said:

"My daughter is well versed in pharmacology! She was born into a medical family..."

The maid was about to speak, but Miss Hongyu glanced back and stopped her.

Zhuang Zhou naturally saw all of this, and Miss Hongyu naturally had her own background.

Since he didn't want to say more, Zhuang Zhou naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

"Thanks to the young lady's help today, I am lucky enough to get this treasure."

Zhuang Zhou doesn't know how much this Amoxiang can be sold for now.

But we can roughly estimate that it will definitely be a high price.

So thank you girl, it is from the bottom of my heart.

"By the way, Miss Hongyu, I have many treasures here. I'll give you one more!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou turned around and walked to a shelf and picked up a small object.

“You’re sure to like this.”

"What's this?"

Miss Hongyu picked up the small object handed to her by Zhuang Zhou and played with it for a while. It was indeed quite exquisite.

"This is called lipstick. You use it like this. Just twist it slightly and it will come out. Then apply it on your lips."

Zhuang Zhou originally wanted to demonstrate how to apply the cream to her.

But this is not modern society, there are differences between men and women.

This is no joke.

"Alright! Why don't you take it back and study it yourself?"

But Miss Hongyu was already shocked.

They also use lipstick on a daily basis, but it is made of rouge.

Nothing is as convenient and easy to use as this little gadget!

And the color looks so pretty too.

"Master Zhuang, how come your grocery store even has women's stuff?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled awkwardly:

"It's a general store, so naturally they have everything. And I'm telling you, there are also many wonderful things for women in the store!"

"Oh, what are they? Can you introduce them to me?"

Miss Hongyu was also very interested and pulled Zhuang Zhou to ask him to introduce her.

Zhuang Zhou was not polite either, as this was his spokesperson.

If she were to endorse the women's products at Zhuangji Grocery Store, then the entire Chang'an City would be advertised.

It is much easier to make money from women than from men.

Especially the money of the ladies and young ladies from wealthy families.

So Zhuang Zhou started to act as a shopping guide and introduced the women's products in the store to Miss Hongyu.

There is no need to say more about perfume and lipstick.

As for the cosmetics, he only brought a few sets, and Zhuang Zhou patiently explained.

What about mascara, blush, liquid foundation, primer, eye shadow, etc.

In fact, Zhuang Zhou didn’t know how to put on makeup, so he could only explain the general idea.

I think I’ll have to learn more about it next time I return to modern times.

But just a few words shocked Miss Hongyu so much that she was speechless.

A grown man actually understands these things.
