Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 486 The Persian Businessman Who Cried to Death

There are words written on a big sign. Commoner women don't know many words, so there are more people who explain it.

"Everyone, you can get three different bowls of soup. These are spices from Lingnan...

In the aristocratic area, Changsun Wugou entered from the high-ranking aristocratic entrance on the north side.Naturally, she didn't need to pick it up, as a maidservant had already delivered several kinds of delicacies to her.

Many ladies were sitting at the round table, chatting while waiting for the biggest event of the day to start.

A deposit of twenty gold, this is two thousand strings.This value is nothing to the top ladies, they can show it.

Soup for ladies is not pure soup.

In front of Changsun Wugou was a bowl of pork ribs and lotus root soup. The soup had a peculiar taste, several times better than before, even Liu Mu, a recognized gourmet in Chang'an, had never tasted it.

Beckoning for a maid, Changsun Wugou wanted to ask a question or two, but it was Ye Siniang who came.

"Princess, you must ask about this soup." The maid behind Ye Siniang held a tray: "There are several new seasonings in it, and the spicy taste is pepper from Lingnan. You can taste the mutton soup again, among which There are several seasonings such as cinnamon bark and grass fruit. Mr. Mu Lang plans to transport a thousand shi to Youzhou before the new year, and he will definitely like it when he comes to the grassland."

Before the eldest grandson Wugou opened his mouth, the other ladies were full of praise.

For the common people in Chang'an, grass fruits worth only one or two twenties are worth snapping up. This is the top grade for cooking broth.Pepper is relatively more expensive, but people in Chang'an with some money will buy one or two and take it back.

In the aristocratic district, Tang has already withdrawn.

Small plates were placed in front of the top ladies, containing crystal clear items like five-color jewels.

"Princess, this is sugar. It's just that the quantity is very small, and it's still in the process of trial production. I'm afraid it will take half a year for mass production." Ye Siniang introduced from the side.

This is the simplest hard fruit candy with the least technical content, but for Datang Changan, it is a very novel item.

Changsun Wugou put one in his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste made Changsun Wugou's face reveal a sense of happiness. Immediately, Changsun Wugou asked, "Isn't this expensive to make?"

"Returning to the princess, when this Mu Langjun plan is officially launched, the most common price will be as low as [-] yuan per catty, at least so that ordinary people in Chang'an can have the opportunity to buy it."

"En, that's great." The eldest grandson Wugou didn't ask if it was ordinary, the nobles were not short of such a small amount of money.

At this time, a maidservant whispered a few words beside Ye Siniang, and Ye Siniang came to the stage after apologizing to her eldest grandson Wugou.

"Sisters, and younger sisters." As soon as Ye Siniang spoke, the theater fell silent. Ye Siniang was already a nobleman as a village lord, and Ye Siniang was working for Dugu Lanruo. No one is dissatisfied.

"His Royal Highness Princess Changping was at a beautiful seaside, and Mu Langjun won hundreds of coins in one day, and hundreds of coins in the second day. On the third day, Princess Changping gambled seven times in a row. , I only won once, and the income was more than twice what I lost. Her Royal Highness likes this game very much, so I specially arranged it and shared it with you."

After Ye Siniang finished speaking, a huge silver pearl worth nine cents was held by a servant girl for a circle.

"This is the time Her Royal Highness won."

hiss……

Don't say that these are top ladies, this pearl makes their eyes straight, it is rare.

"There are many pearl mussels here. I am afraid that only the Sea God will know if there are any pearls. The size of the pearls is right in front of your eyes. A bucket of one hundred pebbles is the way Mu Langjun and His Highness Princess Changping gambled."

"Let me tell you something interesting. There are many mussels in the seaside of Lingnan, and they were picked among the remaining inferior mussels. A dozen court ladies bought a barrel together and spent a lot of money, and then opened a seven-point bead. Concubine Wan Gui also had I was interested in picking a bucket and opened a dark green eight-point orb."

"It's just that it's not easy to transport live clams to Chang'an, so there are no inferior ones, all are first-class. One hundred per barrel, it's fun."

If Dugu Lan would arrange for someone to give Wan Guifei auspicious luck, she would also arrange for her eldest grandson Wugou.

Some people still hinted in advance, only saying that the probability is greater.

As the current No. [-] lady in Chang'an, Princess Qin, she should be called the Crown Princess now. The eldest grandson Wugou came to the stage and cut open a clam in his bucket with a special thin knife.

"Eleven, maximum two points."

"none……

"none……

Someone is shouting.

When it reached the ninth one in a row, Ye Siniang yelled loudly: "Seven-point beads, the biggest one is seven-point...

Many noble ladies asked their maidservants to step back and came to the stage in person.

Here is a female officer from the Bureau of Pearls in the palace, who has a great research on pearls, and immediately made an appraisal. It is indeed a large seven-point pearl, and its color, luster, and shape are all top-grade.

This is not over yet, the last bead produced a pearl that is very close to the eight-point bead.

Ye Siniang stood on the stage and said loudly: "Let's do the math, the two big ones are estimated to be worth 130 guan in Chang'an, and the small ones are worth ten or eight guan. Congratulations to Princess Qin, this time I made money."

Did you earn it?
A mere one hundred pearls is nothing to the noble ladies here, but it is fun to dig out a big pearl and let the first-class jewelry craftsmen in Wutongfang process it into jewelry.

Exchange money?

joke!

On each garden table, like Halong Bay, the ladies are willing to do it themselves.

For such a high price as one hundred guan, it would be a loss if hundreds of pieces at the [-]-zi level were offered, and this was for the orb.

After another nine-cent-sized treasure-grade pearl was opened from a one-foot-sized oyster, the ladies in the theater went crazy.Tang people are fond of gambling, but how can ordinary gambling compare with this.

The excitement, heartbeat, and joy of this game are hundreds of times that of playing cards and mahjong.

The noble ladies held their breath and gently and slowly pried open the oyster, expecting, disappointed or ecstatic in their hearts.Screams came from the theater.

Whether it pays or not, it is already a very joyful thing to open a six-point bead.

When an eleven-point dark green orb was released from Zhangsun Wugou's hand, the entire venue was pushed into a frenzy.This one is entirely the luck of the eldest grandson Wugou, and various praises are heard endlessly.

afternoon.

On the silk brocade tray in front of Li Shimin was just that rare dark green pearl, this one was called a black pearl by the artisans in the palace.Studies have begun to create a treasure with this pearl as the core.

However, Li Shimin's mind was not on the pearl. Gao Jian, Gao Xing, and Ma Zhou sat in front of him.

Gao Xing took out the willow letter and sent it with both hands.

"Your Highness, the sage is well. This is Mu Langjun's personal letter, sealed with wax, and placed close to your body along the way. There is absolutely no possibility of it being circulated."
