429 I Want Him
As we walked, we actually ran into a few foreigners, who were chattering away with some stiff Great Zhou dialect, and quite a few of them were bargaining with us.
Ping'an took a look and saw that there were many small items on the stall, such as small round mirrors, a few pocket watches, and even many pearls of good quality.
Is there such a thing at this time? He looked carefully and found that the pocket watch was really turning, and it was still divided into twelve hours a day. His master had a pocket watch, but it was not as small as this one and it was quite old.
He can buy it and give it to his master or husband.
He picked up all seven or eight pocket watches on the stall with one hand and asked, "Is this a timer?"
The steward next to him was displeased: "Sir, these are what I want."
Ping An looked at the stall owner: "Has this person bought it yet?"
The stall owner frowned and said, "No, he wants five taels each. No, at least twenty taels each."
As he spoke, he started to babble in a foreign language.
The steward said angrily, "Your price is too high. Ten taels at most, I'll take them all."
The stall owner ignored him and turned to Ping An, "How much do you want? I'll give you 15 taels each, that's the lowest price."
Ping An said to He Jin who was standing beside him, "Uncle He, pay, but I'll check to see if everything is good."
He Jin knew that the price was not expensive at all. The one the eldest son was wearing was bought in the capital many years ago for fifty taels each.
The manager left angrily.
"Is that all?" Ping'an checked them one by one, and found that there were exactly eight, no more, no less. Eighteen were not enough for him to deliver.
"There are a few more here, but we've made a deal. These are at least twenty-five taels each."
The stall owner rummaged around in the basket and took out a wooden box, then opened it carefully.
"What's in the basket that's sparkling? Is it silver?" Ping'an was shocked. Could there really be diamonds?
The stall owner just casually put it in a cloth bag and threw it into the basket?
"Sir, those are from the mountains where we are. They sparkle and sparkle. They look very pretty in flower pots under the sun. But it's a pity that they are not jade."
"Can you show it to me? Can I put it in the flowerpot?"
Ping An was also drunk.
The stall owner took out a small cloth bag and said, "Sir, look, these must weigh several kilograms. If you want them all, take them all for twenty taels of silver."
Ping An turned over, and they were colorful. Some were as big as sand, and a few were as small as a little finger.
He couldn't be sure whether they were the expensive diamonds from his previous life, but they looked very nice. He could take them back and have the silversmith process them.
He picked it up and found that there were about five or six kilograms of them. "It is indeed good to put them in flower pots. Do you have a lot of them?"
The stall owner shook his head and said, "Not many. These were picked up by my father. They have been there for years. No one wanted them at the door. I put a few in the flowerpots at home. I brought all the rest this time."
"Okay, twenty taels is twenty taels. I'll take it back and put it in the flowerpot for a look. But even if your watch is a little small, I can only give you twenty taels for it. No more."
He Jin was silent. Master Ping An was such a smart guy, why would he buy it to put in a flower pot? Impossible, it must have a use for it.
Eight fifteen-liang ones, six twenty-liang ones, plus thirty or forty small round mirrors, and a bag of glowing pebbles.
The small round mirror is the size of a palm and costs five hundred coins each. Such items can be found in shops in the capital, and you can’t get one without five or six taels.
He Jin paid the money, another two hundred and sixty or seventy taels of silver notes. Did Master Ping An buy a little too much today?
More than one thousand taels passed through his hands.
He Jin once again sent someone to the inn. He also wanted to buy some top-quality dry goods for the eldest son, which would be sent back to the capital.
When he told Ping An about this, Ping An told him to do his own thing. He was accompanied by Lin Feng, Xiao Ming, Qing Shi, Wu Jun, Er Qiang and others. He asked them to go shopping after delivering the goods and then go straight back to the inn.
Fu An and Chen Xuan also bought a lot of things, and they asked the guards to send them back to the inn.
Fu An's face lit up with excitement. He had never seen such a large market before.
"Brother Chen, let's take a look ahead and look around the shops."
Chen Xuan looked back and saw that Ping An had disappeared. "Let's go back. We bought a lot of things. Ping An will be worried if he can't find us."
Fu An pulled him and said, "It's okay. He's bargaining with someone in the back. Let's go to the shop over there and take a look. I want to buy some goodies to bring home as gifts."
Chen Xuan's idea suddenly moved. He kept buying things at the stall. Maybe the things in the stall were better. He decided to take a look.
Apona stared at the two young men in a stall not far away. They were both fair and clean, just the type she liked.
"Zakui, you saw those two people. Find a way to lure them over here. I want to take them home."
"My young master, the island owner has already found a husband for you."
A Baona said coldly: "I am your master. Do you still want to listen to me? How can such a person be worthy of me? I want both of them. Why can't I have two more husbands when my father has many wives and concubines? I will also be the island master in the future."
"Yes, young master. If we kidnap someone, we will have to take a boat back immediately. These two young masters are well dressed."
A Baona sighed and said, "Let's go back. I don't know when I'll be out next time, but it's worth it if I can bring someone back."
Life is too long. She was unwilling to live on such a big island and guard such a plain-looking and incompetent husband. This time, she finally begged her father to let her out, as she had the intention of kidnapping someone.
Thanks to Poseidon, she actually found two good young men. As for whether she can have both of them, she will take them back first.
Ping An looked around: "Hey, where are Fu An and Chen Xuan?"
He was not worried at all, as each of them had two guards beside them.
Xiao Ming said, "Master, when I was buying coral just now, I saw them just ahead of us. How come they disappeared in a moment?"
"It's not just a moment, it's been at least half an hour."
Ping'an looked up and saw that the sun had already gone into the clouds, but he could still tell that it was already past noon.
"Qingshi, Wu Jun, the two of you go look in front together. Lin Feng, you go look on the right, and I'll take Xiao Ming to the left. After we find the person, we'll go directly to the market entrance to wait. We've almost finished our shopping for today."
Qingshi and Wu Jun squeezed forward carrying their backpacks. There were too many people today, and of course the main reason was that the stalls took up too much space.
Lin Feng was worried: "Master, I'd better go with you. Xiao Ming is still young. Master Fu and his group have four people following them, so they shouldn't be in any trouble."
Ping An thought: "You should go and look for him. Fu An is a bit playful. If you find him, take him to the market entrance and tell him that I told you not to worry about me. Xiao Ming is not a bad person now."
Xiao Ming puffed out his chest when he heard that. The young master had said that he was not bad and had been learning martial arts for three years. It could be said that no one was as hardworking as him. Master Xiao Wu also praised him.
