Chapter 364 Extra Chapter: Song Erniang (Part Six)
Song Erniang was a little surprised, and everyone else around her was also surprised. Someone really was buying old pumpkins!
Long Hanshi was even more surprised.
Is there really anyone dumber than me? Buying an old pumpkin? Aside from the seeds inside, this old pumpkin is completely useless.
But surprisingly, some people actually came to ask how much these two old pumpkins cost.
How can I sell them? I definitely can't! These are the only two old pumpkins left at home. If I sell them, what else will I have to put up my stall?
How am I supposed to keep watch here and see if anyone is bullying Song Erniang?
Long Hanshi looked at the well-dressed man in front of him, and seeing that he didn't seem to be making a joke, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.
If someone asks about the price, then just set the price a little higher.
If the price is too high, people definitely won't buy it, and they might even think I'm crazy!
"Want to buy?" Long Hanshi glanced at the person asking the price.
The man nodded.
"I want to buy it! Name your price!"
Long Hanshi thought for a moment, wondering how much silver he had ever held in his hands in his entire life...
Oh, one hundred taels!
“One hundred taels!” Long Hanshi said calmly.
The middle-aged man, who was still observing the two pumpkins to see what was different about them, was startled. The two pumpkins, which he had previously thought were rather ordinary and even a little ugly, suddenly seemed to have a golden sheen.
Could these two pumpkins have some special history? Otherwise, how could this honest young man dare to ask for such a high price?
I've been passing through here for three days now, and this young man has been selling these two old pumpkins every day.
Moreover, he knew the background of the young man selling pumpkins and that he was very honest.
There must be something special about it that he's so openly selling...
"One hundred taels? I can accept that price!" the middle-aged man sighed.
Now it was Long Hanshi's turn to be dumbfounded. He had just made a random offer to get this person to leave quickly and not to mess with his two sons!
"Uh, I meant one hundred taels each, two would cost two hundred taels!" Long Hanshi said, forcing himself to speak.
People around were listening intently...
Song Erniang even forgot to wrap the wontons in her hand. There really are people who are even dumber than Long Hanshi!
The person who asked the price was taken aback at first, but Long Hanshi's words made him even more interested.
This kid... he's interesting!
"Really? Okay, two hundred taels, right? Here, these are Changbao Bank's silver notes, fifty taels each, four in total, take them."
I have only one request: please deliver these two pumpkins to my home.
"Oh, I'm the fourth master of the Ye family. You'll find out once you ask around in Suzhou."
As he spoke, the man handed four silver notes to Long Hanshi.
The people around then realized that it was the fourth master of the Ye family. Everyone knew that the Ye family was the number one imperial merchant in Dayu and the richest people in Dayu. Not only did the Ye family own half of the shops in Gusu City, but it was also said that the Ye family's caravans had gone overseas, and the silver was flowing into the Ye family in a torrent!
Moreover, the fourth master of the Ye family is an unruly person who doesn't know how much money he can spend.
I heard that he previously spent over a thousand yuan to buy a pot of wildflowers that appeared out of nowhere.
Later, someone told the fourth master of the Ye family that those flowers... were everywhere in Dali!
Long Hanshi was completely dumbfounded. There really are fools...
But I don't want to sell these two pumpkins! I just want to...
"I don't want banknotes, I only want silver! And I won't deliver it to your door!" Long Hanshi said angrily.
Fourth Master Ye...
Wow! This is interesting! These two are definitely not ordinary people, and this person in front of us is no ordinary person either!
Fourth Master Ye nodded and stood up from his squatting position.
He's definitely taking these two pumpkins today!
"Alright, I'll have my servant go back and get the silver right away. Please wait a moment..."
Before Master Ye could finish speaking, four people arrived from the city gate.
The leader looked furious, and the three men behind him each held a stick. The four of them walked straight toward Song Erniang's wonton stall.
Everyone recognized him; wasn't he the one who tried to smash Song Erniang's wonton stall that day over a bowl of wontons?
Why are you here again?
"So it was you who went to complain to someone, wasn't it? Now I'm going to get a scolding from my family when I get home! You think you're so good at complaining? I'll smash your whole place today, and see what you're really capable of!"
As he spoke, the man called to the men he had brought, who were about to smash Song Erniang's wonton stall with sticks.
Song Erniang was dumbfounded.
Complain? What's there to complain about! She's busy making and selling wontons every day, she doesn't have time to complain!
Besides, she doesn't know who to complain to!
"You..." Song Erniang was anxious and immediately stood in front of the wonton stall to block them.
Those who wanted to smash the stall didn't care about Song Erniang at all; they just picked up sticks and started smashing things.
Just as the stick was about to hit Song Erniang, Long Hanshi, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up and blocked Song Erniang's way.
A stick as thick as an arm slammed down on Long Hanshi's raised arm...
Everyone was stunned...
What stunned everyone wasn't the worry about whether Long Hanshi would get hurt, but rather...
The stick actually cracked when it hit Long Hanshi's arm...
The thick stick actually cracked, but Long Hanshi seemed unharmed. He raised his hand again, and another stick cracked as well...
"You guys started it, so it's not my fault!" Long Hanshi said as he attacked.
Everyone was stunned. This seemingly simple-minded dragon was actually quite formidable!
Master Ye, who was thinking of buying two old pumpkins, was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
Wow, this pumpkin seller is really something! Not only did he get completely unharmed after being hit by such a thick stick, but the stick even cracked...
This body is practically indestructible!
Could it be that this person possesses some kind of inner strength? Or is he some kind of reclusive master who is determined to buy these two old geezers today?
Master Ye immediately stood by and watched as Long Hanshi dealt with those people.
Long Hanshi only made a few casual moves, and the four men were immediately lying on the ground groaning in pain!
"Everyone saw it! They hit me first. I was just protecting myself. I didn't start it."
"If the officials come later, you must testify for me!" Long Hanshi kicked the servant who rushed up to the ground, so he couldn't get up.
Everyone immediately nodded.
Yes, yes, yes! Everyone saw it; they were the ones who came to smash up someone's stall...
Song Erniang stared blankly at Long Hanshi, who really did have some skills!
