Chen Dazhi couldn't help but point to one of the plates and ask curiously, "What kind of snack is this? I can smell a strong meaty aroma, and I think I can also smell a hint of spiciness and sweetness."
Just as Yun Zhizhi was about to answer, Doctor Zhou, who was standing next to her, beat her to it.
Doctor Zhou grinned: "Brother, you have a really good nose! This is pork jerky, and there are four different flavors to choose from."
After a brief pause, he continued enthusiastically, "I could smell the alcohol on you just now. As a fellow drinker, I can assure you that this pork jerky is perfect for drinking with alcohol, especially the spicy and black pepper flavors—they're an absolute match!"
"How about it? Want to try a pack? These snacks are uniquely delicious throughout the entire Chu Yun Kingdom. If you miss them, you'll definitely regret it later!"
Chen Dazhi's eyes lit up, and a thought popped into his head. He quickly asked, "How much is this pork jerky?"
The renowned doctor Zhou held up one finger and shook it: "One tael of silver per packet, and each packet weighs a full half jin."
Upon hearing the price, Chen Dazhi blurted out, "This is practically robbery!"
This tiny bag of snacks was actually worth the same as the cheapest coffin in his shop.
Shady businessman!
Just then, He Yang suddenly reached out and stuffed a small piece of spicy pork jerky into Chen Dazhi's mouth.
Chen Dazhi was taken aback at first, then began to chew.
The moment it enters your mouth, its unique flavor instantly fills your mouth.
He Yang looked at him with a grin: "Do you still have any objections to the price?"
Chen Dazhi shook his head, his face full of delight, and said, "Oh my! This pork jerky is so delicious! It's sweet with just the right amount of saltiness, and the rich spiciness makes it irresistible!"
"Moreover, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, making it absolutely the best of the best."
After saying that, he grabbed He Yang's arm tightly and pleaded earnestly, "Young man, please have mercy and let me have another piece to try?"
However, He Yang shook his head without hesitation and resolutely refused, saying, "No, no. This is a rare item. Giving you a piece to try is already very generous."
"If you really want to eat it, then hurry up and take out your money to buy it."
After hearing this, Chen Dazhi hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and took out a tael of silver from his sleeve. He handed it to He Yang and said loudly, "Alright, alright, just give me a pack of spicy pork jerky!"
Upon seeing this, He Yang quickly took the silver, a bright smile immediately spreading across his face: "Alright!"
Seeing that Chen Dazhi was willing to spend money, Doctor Zhou smiled and said, "Brother, this hand-shredded beef jerky and salt-baked dried chicken and duck wings are also great snacks to go with drinks! The taste is absolutely amazing, would you like some? I guarantee you'll want more after eating them, and you won't regret it!"
Chen Dazhi waved his hand repeatedly: "Next time!"
Before he finished speaking, he quickly grabbed a bag of pork jerky and, as if he had wheels of fire on his feet, dashed towards the shop entrance in the blink of an eye.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself: This old guy is clearly trying to rip me off!
If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll find it hard to resist the temptation of such delicious food.
Yun Zhizhi didn't expect to close a deal so quickly.
Even more unexpectedly, the first customer turned out to be the owner of the coffin shop.
However, the joy did not last long, because for the next half hour, no second deal was made.
The main reason is that this place is too deserted, and it is difficult to see even a single person.
Although a few oxcarts or horse-drawn carts would occasionally pass by, the people on them would only see them setting up stalls in front of the coffin shop from afar, and then they would start whispering and pointing.
Yun Zhizhi suddenly remembered that she hadn't sent anyone to tell Xu Junshen where the stall would be set up this time.
So she instructed He Ping'an, "Brother Ping'an, go to the Xu residence now and tell Master Xu where the stall will be set up."
He Ping'an immediately replied, "Okay, Miss."
After He Ping'an turned and left, He Yang, who was sitting next to Yun Zhizhi, cautiously glanced around and muttered in a low voice, "That's really strange. Where did those two old men go? We can't see a single person in sight."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but look around as well.
Suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she frowned slightly and asked with a suspicious look, "Lazy Yangyang, did you hear a very faint sound just now?"
"Phew~"
The sudden noise startled He Yang.
He trembled, frantically clutching Yun Zhizhi's sleeve, his face turning deathly pale, his expression extremely grave: "Boss, please don't scare me! Is there really something unclean here?"
However, Yun Zhizhi appeared relatively calm.
She first gently patted He Yang's hand to comfort him, then said calmly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I think this sound like someone snoring."
After saying that, Yun Zhizhi stood up and slowly walked towards one of the red coffins, which was a few feet away from them.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Wu followed Yun Zhizhi without saying a word and walked alongside her.
Although He Yang was still a little scared, he gritted his teeth and followed closely behind the two.
And so, the three of them approached the red coffin step by step.
When they finally got closer, the three of them were stunned and speechless upon seeing the scene before them.
There lay peacefully in the red coffin, sleeping soundly, even snoring softly from time to time.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Zhizhi and the others turned their attention to another black coffin next to them.
Sure enough, looking through the crack in the coffin lid, one could clearly see that Master Xuanzhen was fast asleep in the black coffin.
He Yang was both amused and exasperated by their bizarre behavior. "I've never seen anything like it before!"
"If someone sees these two old guys crawling out of their coffins later, they'll be scared half to death, thinking they've come back to life."
Yun Zhizhi admired them so much; they actually dared to sleep inside a coffin.
And she was sleeping so soundly!
This person is truly a top-tier talent.
She smiled and said, "There's not much business right now, so let them slack off here for a bit!"
