Chapter 690: Follow Meng Po to the Market
Meng Po smiled and said, "We have experienced many ghost kings leading us, so everything here is ahead of the outside world."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, that's right, it's indeed very advanced. When I go back, I'll also set up a piece of land in the north as a market for this stall."
"This way, people who don't have shops can use their stalls to make money."
Meng Po thought for a moment and asked, "The northern land of Yuan Kingdom?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes."
Meng Po's face darkened, "Yuan Country...is not a good place."
Su Nuan smiled awkwardly, "It's a bit chaotic now, but the people in our northern land are different from those in Kyoto."
"In short, even if the Emperor of Yuan State sends people to confiscate our northern land, I will drive them out."
Meng Po smiled and said, "That's good. It's free and easy. There's a saying that goes, 'The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.' No one's coming will count unless the emperor himself comes."
"But I think the old emperor is too busy to come here in person for the Northland. He might even get stuck along the way."
Su Nuan also thought so, so no matter who came to convey the order, she would not listen. If she had the guts, she would let the old emperor come and ask for it himself.
Of course, I wouldn’t give it to him even if he asked for it, and he wouldn’t mind being a regicide.
After all, the death of his grandmother was closely related to the old emperor, and he might even be a driving force behind it.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go see what good things are being sold at the stalls."
After saying that, she carried Meng Po into the stall area.
The rule of entering from the right and exiting from the left is also followed here, and there is a four-foot-wide path between the opposite stalls, which is enough for people to walk back and forth.
The owner of the first stall was an old lady with disheveled hair. She squatted on a high stool and looked like a fat monkey.
There were many embroidered items on the stall in front of her, including exquisite purses, beautiful handkerchiefs and sachets.
Su Nuan picked up a small tiger-shaped sachet and sniffed it. "It smells so good. It can repel insects and calm the mind."
The stall owner raised her head, as if looking at Su Nuan, but unfortunately her hair was also messy, so her eyes could not be seen at all.
Su Nuan asked, "How much do these cost?"
The stall owner said in a hoarse voice, "One dollar each."
Su Nuan immediately started picking at the items, a total of 108 items.
She took out 110 ghost coins and asked, "I want them all, is that okay?"
The stall owner looked at Su Nuan and then at Meng Po in her arms, and finally nodded.
Meng Po smiled and said, "Give her one thousand and take it all."
Su Nuan knew that this piece would cost at least 9 yuan, so 1,000 yuan was not too much.
"good."
The stall owner didn't expect Su Nuan to agree. She chuckled and took out a small gold ingot pendant from her bosom, "This is for you."
Seeing that the small ingot was exquisite and cute, Su Nuan thanked him and hung it around her waist.
She gave the money and put away all the embroidery on the stall.
Meng Po said, "Just give it to me when I ask you to? You can refuse."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "This embroidery is worth it. In fact, I am the one who got the better deal."
Meng Po didn't say much, just giggled.
Ling Yun looked back frequently, and suddenly his heart trembled. The stall owner was the famous poisonous mother-in-law in the world.
This vicious mother-in-law had a strange temper and liked to poison people everywhere. Countless people died at her hands.
Su Nuan didn’t know any vicious mother-in-law. In her eyes, the person she saw now was just an ordinary vendor.
She came to the fifth stall. The stall owner was a big bearded man. He glared at Su Nuan fiercely with his copper-bell eyes.
Su Nuan wasn't afraid of him either. She pointed at a few herbs on his stall and asked, "How much is this?"
The bearded man said in a gruff voice, "Do you recognize this?"
Su Nuan nodded, "I know them, Fire Ganoderma Lucidum and Black Ginseng."
The bearded man's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have any medicine for scabies?"
Su Nuan took out a bamboo tube from her backpack and said, "Here is a detoxifying ointment. Apply it thickly on the scabies. It will remove the toxins in three days and reduce the symptoms in five days. It will be basically healed in half a month."
Suspicion flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he was a little bit disbelieving.
Meng Po said, "She definitely won't lie. Give it a try. There's nothing others can do about it anyway."
The bearded man looked at Meng Po and said respectfully, "Yes!"
He took the bamboo tube, wrapped up the Ganoderma lucidum and the pitch-black black ginseng and handed it to Su Nuan.
Su Nuan put away the black ginseng. Although these were not expensive medicinal herbs, she would buy them if she saw them. After all, it was very troublesome to dig them by herself.
Meng Po asked, "Do you know medicine?"
Su Nuan nodded, "I understand. I originally wanted to sell some medicine, but I didn't know if there was anyone here who knew what they were."
Meng Po was silent for a moment and then said, "Then let's go to the auction, but it won't start until the early morning."
Su Nuan nodded, "I am going. Are there any good things at the auction?"
Meng Po said, "Two beautiful women appeared yesterday and were bought away by someone."
"But I haven't left the city yet. I don't know if I want to go out and shoot again today or take some more pictures to take back."
Su Nuan had no interest in beauties. "Anything weird?"
Meng Po nodded, "Well... there is a round ball that cannot be opened. It is said that it fell from the sky."
"We could hear something inside when it was rolling, but we couldn't open it no matter how hard we tried."
"It's a mysterious thing. There's also a stone that keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's a good thing to have in the house."
Su Nuan was interested in both of them and asked tentatively, "How much does it cost to get them?"
Meng Po smiled and said, "That stone was auctioned for 100,000 ghost coins yesterday, but unfortunately the seller disagreed so it failed to sell."
"No one is bidding for the ball. The starting price is 20,000 yuan. No one dares to take the risk."
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "Is twenty thousand very expensive?"
Meng Po chuckled, "One ounce of gold can only be exchanged for a piece of ghost money. Do you think it's expensive?"
Su Nuan was dumbfounded. The gold bars she had were worth at most one hundred taels, but Brother Fox actually exchanged them for ten thousand for her.
Meng Po smiled and said, "Ghost money has no meaning to us natives, so the amount we exchange for others depends entirely on our mood."
Su Nuan nodded, it seemed that she was very lucky today.
Ling Yun clenched his fists. He was very depressed. It was okay to just receive a black card.
He took out a thousand taels of gold, but the other party only gave him eighty pieces of paper money for the dead. Not only did they not give him more, they even deducted twenty pieces.
Su Nuan turned around and looked at Ling Yun and asked, "Did you change the money?"
Ling Yun quickly shook his head, "No, I forgot to change it."
Su Nuan nodded, "It's okay, I have some here, I won't let you go hungry."
Ling Yun smiled somewhat complacently, Su Nuan would indeed not ignore him.
Meng Po suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Go over there, there are delicious foods there."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
She continued forward holding Meng Po, glancing briefly at the stalls she passed by, but nothing interested her.
When they arrived at the stall Meng Po mentioned, Su Nuan was a little dumbfounded. "Delicious food? These?"
Meng Po nodded. "Yes, it's delicious. What? Are you scared?"
Su Nuan stared at the bones on the chopping board in horror. They looked like human bones no matter how you looked at them!
