Chapter 442: Is this how we get out?
Originally, Lu Li planned to go to Erzhou today, but Jin Jin was too conspicuous, so in order to avoid being noticed, Lu Li decided not to go for the time being.
After playing with Jin Jin Feng on the grassland for a day, Lu Li urged it to return to the palace.
"Jinjin, you must take this letter back to your father."
Hearing this, Lu Can looked at the huge eagle silently.
Did Ninth Sister mistake the eagle for a carrier pigeon?
"Chirp"
Jin Jin agreed, rubbed Lu Li's hand reluctantly, and then flew away.
Lu Li and others also went to Erzhou.
Erzhou is a city on the border between Luosha Kingdom and Daxia. Since Luosha Kingdom became a vassal state of Daxia, the two countries have opened up trade.
However, it takes a certain amount of time to cross the prairie, so the people from Daxia who come here are usually professional merchants. They come here to buy the specialties of Rakshasa Kingdom and then sell them back to Daxia. Ordinary people rarely appear here.
Therefore, Lu Li and others also entered the city as merchants.
Various animal furs can be seen everywhere in the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The vast forests and cold climate here support a large number of animals, so they have a lot of high-quality furs here.
There are mink skins, fox skins, bear skins, and so on.
Tu Susu gasped when she saw this. Fortunately, her true identity was not exposed, otherwise her rabbit skin might not be saved.
Long Aotian glanced at her and found that she seemed a little scared.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: How can a rabbit spirit be so timid?
"Guests, would you like to have a look at some of the finest pi mao?" A Luosha man with brown hair and blue eyes called out to them in broken Daxia Mandarin.
Lu Li turned her head and saw that it was a store specializing in selling various animal furs. The items were quite complete and the quality seemed much better than those sold on the roadside.
I thought that by the time I return, it will be Chinese New Year, so I might as well buy some fine furs here and bring them back as New Year gifts for my father and mother.
"Okay, let's go take a look." Lu Li nodded and walked into the store.
Everyone followed, but Tu Susu hesitated and didn't move forward.
"Miss Jiu, please go ahead. I won't go and watch. I'll just look at the carriage." Long Aotian stopped.
He glanced at Tu Susu, who immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll stay and watch the carriage, too."
Lu Can could not see the undercurrent between the two and said with a smile, "We have guards, so you two don't have to work hard."
Tu Susu bit her lip and stared at Lu Can angrily.
Why does the Fourth Young Master always say things she doesn't like to hear when he should shut up?
Qu Songnian was the most perceptive. He immediately pulled Lu Can aside and pointed at the snow-white fox skin hanging on the wall and said, "Fourth Young Master, look at this fox skin. It's so beautiful. There's not a single flaw on it. It will definitely look great as a scarf. Do you want to buy it and give it to your wife?"
“No, no.” Lu Can shook his head repeatedly. When he saw the fox skin, he thought of Princess Jin.
He doesn't dare to buy it!
What if the original owner of this fox skin is a relative of Princess Jin who lives far away in Rakshasa Country?
"Then I'll buy it for my mother." Qu Songnian was attracted by the flawless snow-white fox skin and immediately wanted the waiter to help him pack the fox skin.
"How much is this in silver?"
Luosha Kingdom was a vassal state of Daxia, so gold and silver were both commonly used.
The waiter gestured with his hand and said, "Fifty taels of silver."
"So expensive?" Qu Songnian was a little surprised.
He thought that fox skins would be cheaper in Luosha Kingdom than in Daxia.
I didn't expect it to be that cheap.
After all, in Daxia, fifty taels of silver could buy a ready-made fox scarf.
This is just a fur. After he buys it, he has to go home and find someone to sew it.
This price is a bit unreasonable.
But the quality of this fur is indeed very good.
For a time, Qu Songnian was in trouble.
At this time, two tall Rakshasa men came into the store.
Qu Songnian didn't understand what they were saying, but he could tell that they also wanted the snow-white fox skin.
The waiter replied to them for a few words, then looked at Qu Songnian: "Guest, they want it too."
Qu Songnian suddenly became anxious: "Let me tell you what I want first."
He simply pulled the fox skin into his arms and held it.
The two Rakshasa men frowned immediately, looked at Qu Songnian with dissatisfaction, and then chattered a lot of words that he couldn't understand, seeming to be very angry.
The waiter said something to calm their anger.
"Come on, customer, I'll help you settle the bill."
The waiter wanted Qu Songnian to pay the bill, but unexpectedly Lu Li, who had been strolling around, suddenly spoke up.
"You sold it to them for 10 taels of silver and to us for 50 taels. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"What?" Qu Songnian widened his eyes.
Well, this foreigner is really not a good person. He actually wants to cheat him out of his money.
The waiter looked flustered and explained quickly, "All are fifty."
"Do you think I don't understand what you are saying?" Lu Li stopped speaking Daxia Mandarin and started speaking the dialect of Rakshasa Kingdom.
Now all the Rakshasas in the store showed surprised expressions.
"They're different. The things are different, and the money is different." The waiter explained with a red face.
"But you just said that you have better goods than this one and you only charge them ten taels of silver." Lu Li continued to question them in their language.
"So because we are from Daxia, you are going to cheat us? Do you want to stop doing business by doing this? Believe it or not, I will tell the Daxia officials stationed here about this and ask them to revoke the plaque of your store that says "Integrity Management". "
"No, no, ten taels, you got it wrong!" The waiter was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Their store has always had two prices.
The people of Daxia buy things at one price, and our own people buy things at another price. This is a custom.
Unexpectedly, today I fell into the hands of a little girl from Daxia.
Lu Can and Lu Xuan looked at Lu Li with admiration.
Sister Nine is so amazing!
A proud smile appeared on Fengqi's lips.
His Ahri is indeed amazing.
Qu Songnian was very upset at this moment. Why did he only learn the language of Yaskar City? If he had learned the Luosha dialect, he would not have been deceived by now.
Hearing the arguing outside, the boss inside came out. He looked at Lu Li dissatisfiedly and said, "Buy it if you want, or get out if you don't want!"
He spoke in Rakshasa language, which no one could understand except Lu Li.
But they could all see the annoyance on their boss's face.
"You guys are cheating people and you think you're right?" Lu Can looked at the fat, bearded boss angrily.
"I'll say it again, if you don't buy it, get out." Before the boss finished his scolding, he felt his body stiffen.
Before he could react, he rolled out of the store uncontrollably.
"Excuse me, is this how we roll?" Lu Li looked at him with a smile.
He got up from the ground as if he had seen a ghost, and immediately ran back to the store to get an axe to fight Lu Li.
Feng Qi frowned, raised his hand, and the axe flew out of the boss's hand.
After seeing this strange scene, the other customers all left the store.
The boss stood there, stunned.
Where's his axe?
Why is it gone?
