Chapter 138 139. Ouyang Bing
Not long after Guo Yurong left, the person he mentioned appeared at the door of the store.
"It smells pretty good," Ouyang Bing glanced at Mu Tou, "Do you think that Guo will cheat me this time?"
Mu Tou shook his head silently, saying that whatever he said was wrong.
"What do you mean by shaking your head? You won't lie to me? Or do you just don't know?" Ouyang Bing glared at his guards. "I'm right to call you a blockhead. Nine out of ten people won't be able to answer you."
"What about the other one?" Jin Qianqian was staring at them curiously with her chin down, and couldn't help but say something when she heard this.
"There's another one? He ate them all." Seeing that he was discovered, Ouyang Bing simply stepped into the door and asked, "Are you Madam Gu?"
Jin Qianqian guessed the other party's intention from the previous conversation, "Exactly, sir, what kind of cakes would you like to buy?"
"Guo Yurong knows it, right?" Although Ouyang Bing's eyes were fixed on the pastries, he had not forgotten the main business. He briefly introduced himself and got to the point.
"He told me that you have some rare stuff here. I wonder if I have the honor to see it?"
Gu Wenheng heard the noise and walked out from the inner courtyard. "Since you are a guest, please come in and talk."
Jin Qianqian gave Sister Xiang a few instructions and followed her to the backyard.
"I won't beat around the bush. Guo Yurong boasted to me about the delicious hot pot and the strange glowing objects. As long as you name the price, I'll take them all."
Looking at his wealthy appearance, Jin Qianqian gritted her teeth secretly and told herself that she could tolerate him a little longer for the sake of Guo Yurong's bottle of medicine.
"We just got it by chance from a foreign merchant at a high price. We can show you the thing, but the food you want is out of stock." Gu Wenheng and the others had already discussed a countermeasure and even left the things in the room outside.
"How come there is nothing left?" Ouyang Bing was getting anxious. Eating was of course more important than anything else. "Didn't your wife say she can make hot pot? You guys made it right then?"
Jin Qianqian, "A good cook cannot cook without rice. There is no seasoning. Am I supposed to cook you a pot of plain soup?
This thing depends on fate. When we meet that foreign merchant again in the future, we will definitely exchange more."
"What about that glowing thing?" The other party insisted that he didn't have it, so Ouyang Bing had no choice but to believe it. "If I like it, I will definitely give you a high price."
"this……"
“It’s not gone, is it?” Ouyang Bing stared at the two people in front of him.
Gu Wenheng, "That's not the case. It's just that we have been using this thing for a while and I'm afraid it won't catch your eye."
"I don't care about that." Ouyang Bing seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and fumbled around on the wood, then took out a small silver note. "This is a deposit. As long as what you said is true, it's yours."
Gu Wenheng glanced at it and did not reach out to take it. Instead, he took out a cloth bag from the cabinet in front of Ouyang Bing.
He untied the rope on top and took out the outdoor light that Guo Yurong had seen before.
"It's too bright here, why don't we go to the inner room?" Gu Wenheng looked at the sun still high in the sky and gestured for invitation.
Ouyang Bing did not hesitate, he stood up and was about to go in, but was stopped by Mu Tou, "Master, let me go in and take a look first."
“…”
Seeing the dark room illuminated as bright as day, Ouyang Bing excitedly circled around the outdoor light in Gu Wenheng's hand, "This is a good thing, but why is it so bright?"
Even the luminous stones collected at home, which everyone calls night pearls, have a faint light, not as enchanting as this one.
Gu Wenheng naturally would not explain these reasons to him. He spread his hands and said, "We don't know the details. After all, it is an alien thing. If we ask too much, I guess others won't tell us."
Ouyang Bing nodded, "If I could make this thing, I would definitely keep my mouth shut.
Brother Gu, do you think you can give this up? We can discuss the price."
Now that he had seen the original item, Ouyang Bing had a feeling that he was determined to get it and just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible.
"This." Gu Wenheng looked embarrassed, "But for this lamp and those seasonings, my wife used a set of fine jewelry from her dowry to buy them. The value is not good."
Ouyang Bing pondered for a moment, "How about this? I'll give you five sets of jewelry in exchange?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head and said, "I'm usually busy, how can I have the energy to mess around with jewelry?
Besides, I like this lamp, too, otherwise everyone would be forced to use it.”
"How can this be forced?" Ouyang Bing was a little anxious. "How about this, I pay two hundred taels of silver, and you give the things to me, how about that?"
Gu Wenheng, "..."
"Three hundred taels will do, that's my greatest sincerity."
Gu Wenheng: "..." It turns out that silence has its benefits.
Ouyang Bing, "Three hundred and fifty taels, pay immediately."
Jin Qianqian looked at the outdoor lights with reluctance, "Forget it, now the news has been leaked anyway, ordinary people like us may not be able to guarantee it. But we have to make it clear that once you walk out of this door, we will not admit that you bought this from us.
We two won’t be able to come up with something this unique again.”
"That's easy. I won't mention you two anymore. But I noticed that there seems to be something in your small bag. What's in it?"
Gu Wenheng quickly tied the bag tightly. "They are just some small things, not valuable."
But the more he tried to hide it, the more curious Ouyang Bing became. "Since it's worthless, just show it to us so we can open our eyes."
Gu Wenheng: "…" It will definitely disappear as we drive on.
Jin Qianqian: "..." You'd better look away, otherwise your wallet might be in danger.
Seeing that they were silent, Ouyang Bing thought they were hesitating, “Please, just take a look.”
Gu Wenheng turned his back, fumbled for a long time, and took out a glossy mirror that was exactly the same as the one he had pawned before.
"Let me show you this. Don't break it."
As expected, once you take something out, don’t even think about taking it back. Once it came into Ouyang Bing’s hands, she immediately took it over and kept admiring herself in the mirror.
"This is great. You can even see the fine hairs on my face clearly." Ouyang Bing admired her own beautiful face, put the mirror in her arms, and counted two silver bills and placed them on the table.
Gu Wenheng originally took out the things with the intention of selling them, and since this sucker had come to his doorstep, he would rather take advantage of him. He then casually put the banknote in Jin Qianqian's hand, and the transaction was completed.
"What else is in this bag?"
Gu Wenheng could see that the man in front of him was rich and stupid, so he could trade with him. "These were bought from the foreign merchant. I'll show them to you. I'm fine, but you should at least leave some for us."
