Chapter 12: A big deal!!!



Listening to the shouts and looking at the quaint and ancient street shops.

Zhuang Zhou really felt like he was in a costume film or TV drama.

Although I have seen Chang'an in costume film and television dramas.

But it has been processed artistically.

What I see now is real!

"Brothers, I'm in Chang'an!"

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but roar.

This attracted a lot of attention.

But these people soon ignored him.

I thought, this must be another country bumpkin who came to the city from the countryside.

After all, this is the capital city of Chang'an!

Zhuang Zhou did his homework before coming.

The Old Book of Tang, Food and Goods Records, records: "In July of the fourth year of the Wude reign, the Wuzhu coin was abolished and the Kaiyuan Tongbao coin was introduced."

The Tang Dynasty was not like what we see in TV dramas, where people would spend money at every turn.

In this era, silver was not the main currency in circulation, but copper coins or cotton silk were.

Of course, gold can also be used directly.

It is now the seventh year of Zhenguan. Calculated, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, still has two years to go before his death.

However, the currency used was still the Kaiyuan Tongbao from the time when Li Yuan was emperor.

The four characters "Kaiyuan Tongbao" were written by the great calligrapher Ouyang Xun.

The font is handsome and upright, and is very valuable for appreciation.

It is very popular among collectors of later generations.

So Zhuang Zhou wanted to get some copper coins back to see if they had market value.

But now, the only currency in Zhuang Zhou's possession is a gold cake.

But of course it is impossible to take this thing out and use it directly.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Zhou decided to take out the things in the bag and sell them.

As for the location!

Of course it’s Suzaku Street.

Who says this is the most prosperous commercial street!

Without saying a word, Zhuang Zhou opened his backpack and set up a stall on Zhuque Street.

There's no way, there's no shop or anything now.

Take it easy!

Let’s start by setting up a street stall.

"Look, look!"

"Self-heating mushroom and chicken rice, one hundred coins per portion!"

"Delicious sausage, twenty cents each!"

"Braised beef instant noodles, fifty cents a bucket!"

"Come and taste this delicious food!"

Zhuang Zhou also imitated those small vendors and shouted directly on the street.

Soon, it attracted a large group of people who stopped to watch.

"Hey! Bro, what are you selling? Are they edible?"

Zhuang Zhou looked up and saw that this was a well-mannered young man.

She has a very pretty appearance, with delicate and distinct features.

He was accompanied by an attendant.

Wow, it’s obvious that she is a woman dressed as a man!

But Zhuang Zhou didn't care about these.

"How about you buy one and try it?"

Zhuang Zhou looked at the young man and smiled slightly.

"If it doesn't taste good, I'll give you my money back."

There is no seasoning in this era.

Even pepper was something only the nobility could use.

Food like the ones that Zhuang Zhou brought are naturally the most delicious foods on earth.

Therefore, Zhuang Zhou had absolute confidence that he could amaze him.

The young man became interested as soon as he heard it.

These things all look very different.

They are completely things I have never seen before.

Especially the picture on the box, it looks very appetizing!

It's only a matter of a few hundred coins, so I'd like to give it a try.

"Since you are so confident, I will give it a try. How much is it?"

As he said this, he pointed to the mushroom beef rice.

"This is one hundred coins each!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Good job!

This thing is worth a hundred sesame cakes.

In fact, Zhuang Zhou didn’t know whether this price was expensive or cheap.

Because he didn't know how much this penny could buy.

But judging by the expressions of the people around, it seems a bit too expensive.

There’s no way!

For the first business deal, start by bidding high.

Just wait for people to bargain.

"Okay! That's it."

But who would have thought that the young man did not bargain at all, and looked at the servant beside him and said:

"Give him a hundred coins."

Zhuang Zhou took the hundred coins and looked at it carefully.

Oh shit!

This is Kaiyuan Tongbao!

A hundred coins strung together with a hemp rope look like a very large string.

And it’s not light in weight!

Zhuang Zhou's face was full of excitement, but he suppressed his inner excitement and put it into his backpack.

Then take out a bottle of mineral water and heat the self-heating rice.

A group of onlookers watched Zhuang Zhou make some simple adjustments, and soon they saw steam coming out of the rice.

Zhuang Zhou handed the self-heating rice to the young man and said:

"Okay, eat it!"

The young man swallowed hard.

Because the fragrance is so good.

Then she picked up the spoon and took a bite.

The whole person was stunned!

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Sir, please tell me something."

"Hey, sir, why are you crying? Is it unpalatable?"

"Why don't you let me have a taste too!"

"No!!!"

The handsome young man closed his eyes again and swallowed the rice in his mouth with great enjoyment.

“This stuff is so delicious!!!”

The exaggerated expression is not disguised at all.

It also has a long tail sound.

This is a true expression of my feelings from the bottom of my heart!

The young man wolfed down his food quickly, then stared at the instant noodles and sausage:
