Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 669

Liu Mu grabbed a handful of copper coins and slipped them back into the box from between his fingers: "Old Ao, you can buy whatever you like. This is a market that the nobles like. Let me first declare that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The porters in the market Not as many as usual, and there are a lot of people coming to the market to purchase, so you have to be prepared to return the things you buy to your residence.”

Oscar Buddy smiled happily.

He knew the value of Tang's coins. In fact, it was impossible to buy top-notch silk with this box of money, and there was no need to think about high-quality porcelain.However, he was looking forward to it and found many interesting items in the market.

As for carrying it back, Oscar Buddy is confident that his relatives are here, and there are ordinary nobles who came with him. With so many people, they will definitely be able to bring the things they bought back to their residences.

There is a four-story building at the entrance of Xifangmen in Dongshi. Before he got to the front of the building, Oscar Buddy grabbed a handful of money and started counting coins, preparing to go in for a big purchase.

Liu Mu stood behind and smiled: "Old Ao, if you count too much money, your hands will cramp."

"Don't worry, today will be my happiest day."

"Then turn around yourself. If you need anything, send someone to me. After I finish my business, I will treat you to dinner."

After a few polite words between the two, Liu Mu left.

Liu Mu still arranged for a few masseuses to go there, thinking that when Oscar Buddy returned to his residence at night, his hands would probably be exhausted, and counting money would be an easy task.

Even if the exact numbers on these four wheelbarrows were not known, there must have been tens of thousands of copper coins.

Oscar Buddy stood in the store, dumbfounded.

His entourage, the middle and low-level Roman nobles who came to Datang with him were also stunned.

Oscar Buddy had seen Datang's store, in Hangzhou, and in the workshop where he lived, and was surprised at the time.The store in Eastern Rome is a combination of warehouse and storefront, no matter what is piled up in the store.

The small grocery store in Datang Square is similar.

In Hangzhou City, the new-style big business city planned by Liumu is still on the planning drawings, and the governor of Hangzhou is stumped by the land acquisition alone. The land that is easy to get is too remote, and the good land is the manor of nobles and wealthy merchants.The construction of a new district requires road construction, but the most perfect land in Hangzhou can only be by the West Lake.

Big nobles and wealthy merchants are willing to sell the land, but they must participate in the shares.

Negotiations are long.

In Xindong City, Liumu not only showed Chang'an City a shocking commercial market, but also shocked the top nobles from Western Rome.

The four-story flat building is 220 steps deep, which means it is more than 300 meters deep and [-] steps wide.

This building is a semi-circular shape, with pavilions dug out of the surrounding part, and a platform of fifteen steps in length and width in the most central position, where there are bands and dancers from morning to night every day.

The highest roof of the four-storey building adopts an open-and-close permanent structure shed.

In summer, the surrounding area is removed, and only the roof is left. This is an open place with movable screens, where tea, snacks, snacks, light wine, etc. are served.In winter, the surrounding wall panels are installed, which is a relatively complete house. This is called a half-story because it is a pure wood structure.

The fourth floor is for rare treasures, the third floor is for men's clothing, the second floor is for light accessories and gifts, and the first floor is for spices and expensive accessories.

Oscar Buddy stood at the door, looking at the dullness of the people in the building, and at a glance, the colorful small glass bottles cast a strange brilliance.There are gorgeous gold, silver and jade objects placed in the thick glass counters.

Before the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the East Market or the West Market, the pattern was to live in the middle of the shop in the front and the square in the back, and the empty houses were warehouses.

The current situation is that after eating, drinking and having fun in Dongshi, all the workshops and residences have been moved to Shengping and Shengdao two streets away.

In fact, all the small shops in the West Market are waiting for Liu Mu to close the shop.

But the construction of the East City has not yet been completed, and Liumu does not have so many manpower, so the funds will be used to build the West City.However, the workshops on the West Market side have begun to slowly transfer to Yongping and Yongan workshops.

"Guest, do you want to enter the store?" A young man in front of the store bowed in front of Oscar Buddy.

The boy in Dongshi has never seen anyone, let alone you with blond hair, he has seen red hair, red beard, brown hair and red beard, and green eyes.

Oscar Buddy didn't react, and after the boy said it again, Oscar Buddy loudly ordered his entourage to bring in two boxes of coins first, and he wanted to make a big purchase.

Feifeng hairpin.Although Dongshi is only a commercial street for men, there are quite a lot of women's products for sale.

Gifts, if you want to smile at Bomei, a beautiful gift is absolutely indispensable.

The phoenix eyes are made of copper and gold inlaid with emeralds. The wings can move and the feathers are lifelike.

There are nine different flying phoenix hairpins on the counter. According to the people of Datang, they are of the same style and different shape, and belong to the same commodity. The only difference is in the details due to the difference in the production process. Generally speaking, this Nine are all Feifeng hairpins.

"How many coins?"

"It's a coincidence, honored guest, this is to celebrate the New Year, Feifeng Chai 99 pieces. The base of copper is full of red gold, and the eyes are from..." The boy is the shopping guide, he was going to say just now This is malachite from Persia, but when he saw Oscar Buddy's blond hair, he immediately changed his words: "This is malachite from Ceylon."

Both are emeralds, and a second-rate jeweler in Datang can tell the difference between the two.

If someone from the Tang Dynasty asked, this young man would definitely say that this is Qinglanggan from the Western Regions.

There is almost no need to be taught by others. As early as the Han Dynasty, businessmen had already become self-taught and formed their own genre.

Oscar Buddy is not a gem merchant, he only knows that this young man is telling the truth, this is a piece of malachite.

"Nine, each one is very beautiful. I..." Oscar Buddy slid his fingers across the glass panel: "I want them all."

It stands to reason that if someone buys like this, the merchant will definitely be happy, and the shopkeeper at the counter came over with a smile at this time: "You don't need to take a step inside to take a look."

"Take a step in?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, Oscar Buddy took a step inside, and after actually entering the display area of ​​the store, the shopkeeper pointed to the display cabinet behind him: "Xiangfengchai, Zhanfengchai, Xifengchai..., Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum 36 big money, gold, silver, jade, copper, bone, tooth, stone, bamboo, wooden hairpin, 360 small money..."

Many display racks that were originally folded in the store were fully unfolded under the pull of several shop assistants.

The shopkeeper looked proud: "The small shop only has one item of hairpin, which is more than 800 small styles. Hairpins, which are said to be [-] styles, actually have more than [-] small styles."

The young servant also came forward: "Dear guest, the Feifeng hairpin you saw just now is only a small style, and the nine are of the same style but different. There are also combs and grates totaling [-] small styles in this shop. There is also a shop on the second floor. Let it go. It's for men..."
