Sang Ji smiled and explained: "These are all I have left. Today is a festival, so I can go home early after I sell them all."
"What would you like to order?"
"Cheese can't be kept for long. These leftovers don't look fresh at all." The short man curled his lips in disdain and turned to the man next to him who was half a head taller than him and said, "Brother, let's go to another stall and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the person next to him had no intention of moving and was staring at a corner of the stall.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" The corner where the stall was located was sandwiched between two high walls, and the light was a little dim.
The short man squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and then he could see clearly that at the corner of the stall, pressed down by the oilcloth was a large bowl with intricate patterns.
Even in the dark, you can see that the bowl has a delicate texture, as if it is coated with a layer of lustrous luster.
It's different from any equipment I've seen before.
Although not as luxurious as gold or silver bowls, they reveal an extraordinary beauty.
It's so eye-catching.
I wonder where such a remote and small country like Mosan can get such good equipment?
The two brothers looked at each other, and seeing the determination in each other's eyes, they asked:
"Boss, how much is this bowl?"
The two men in front of him were wearing exquisite gauze robes. The turbans on their heads were outlined with gold threads and inlaid with gems as big as fingernails. They looked very wealthy.
Even if he is not a foreign businessman staying at Sanghua Inn, he must be a noble person from somewhere.
Seeing the strong interest in the two people's eyes, Sang Ji raised his eyelids in surprise.
Miss Wei really got it right.
If you sit back and wait here, you might actually bump into a "rabbit".
"Aren't you selling this bowl?" The short man frowned.
"For sale, for sale." Sang Ji answered hurriedly, secretly turning his head to cast an inquiring look at Wei Yunlan.
I haven’t even told you how much this bowl will cost yet!
"How much is it?" the short man asked first.
Sang Ji quickly winked at Wei Yunlan, indicating that she should give him a hint.
Wei Yunlan didn't look up to see Sang Ji's expression. He drooped his eyebrows slightly, raised his right hand, stretched out his fingers and made the number "five".
"Five gold coins?" The short man blurted out, and his tone didn't seem to be very surprised.
Five gold coins!
That is something more valuable than gold beans. One gold coin is equivalent to ten gold beans, but it often takes twelve or thirteen gold beans to exchange for one gold coin.
Ordinary people have no use for this thing. For example, many people living in Shahe City may not touch a gold coin once in their entire lives.
The bowl that Miss Wei casually took out to serve rice two days ago could actually be sold for five gold coins?
It’s enough for several members of a family to chew for a year!
Sangji quickly lowered his head to hide the surprised expression on his face.
Wei Yunlan said nothing, just nodded slightly.
The short man gritted his teeth in a headache when he saw this, but still took off his purse, took out five gold coins and threw them over, "Five is five, do you have any more to pair with this bowl? I'll take them all!"
The languages of the northwestern countries are somewhat similar.
The accents are different.
The short man was obviously impatient and spoke very quickly. Even though Wei Yunlan had learned a lot of the local language in recent days, he was still unable to react for a while.
The taller man next to the shorter man was quite patient and explained in a gentle voice: "This bowl is of unique texture. It happened to be born when an elder in the family was born. We want to use it as a birthday gift. It would be best if we can get a pair, but if we don't, it doesn't matter. We will still charge five gold coins for this one. You can keep the money first."
His speaking speed was much slower than that of the shorter man, so Wei Yunlan could understand most of what he said without Sang Ji's reminder.
She turned her back, reached into the basket covered with thick cloth behind her, and actually found another identical porcelain bowl in the space and took it out.
This is not even the most exquisite batch of porcelain.
It was not even porcelain produced by Yuantaoju in Suijiang, but ceramics purchased from other small kilns in Suijiang to make up the number.
The quality was far inferior to that of Yuan Tao Ju, and it was completely incomparable to her dowry and the exquisite treasures in the storehouse of the marquis's mansion.
Such bowls can be sold for ten gold coins a pair.
Wei Yunlan couldn't help but feel more confident about opening up sales of ceramics in the northwestern countries in the future.
“It’s true!”
Seeing that Wei Yunlan actually took out an identical bowl, the short man's face lit up with joy.
Pick up the two bowls at the same time and compare them. The patterns on the bowls are exactly opposite, and the patterns in the center can be pieced together.
"Okay, okay."
"Isn't that a crane pattern painted on it?"
"This is perfect for birthday celebrations." The short man grinned and took out a few gold coins from his purse and threw them on Wei Yunlan's stall.
"The extra ones are my reward to you!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Sangji bent down and picked up the gold coins one by one, counted them in the palm of his hand, exactly eight!
There are three more than agreed.
A pair of rice bowls can be sold for thirteen gold coins.
This is really a big profit!
"Where do these bowls come from?" The taller man picked up the two bowls and looked at them for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"We don't know either..." Sangji answered a little confused.
This answer just happened to match the guess of the two men. They didn't think that such an exquisite instrument could be made by a small vendor in a remote country.
It must have been an unexpected gain.
