Xiao Guizi, are you a eunuch Xiuyang God?

Chapter 20 Lightning Strikes Wood

Xu Huaixiu hurried over immediately.

It turned out that this is a 'grocery store'.

The so-called grocery store is something similar to the antique business. In Dali, it is also called a walker. He travels around, picks up and buys things, and collects some old items, items from the former dynasty, items from foreign countries and the Western Regions, and even sold them. The ancient relics of the years are all here, and there are even some strange and rare things that have never been seen before.

Therefore, there are often new and old items on the stalls of the walkers. Some people even directly call these items 'trash'.

And some people who like to buy things in the "grocery store" are also called "taoke".

But at this time in the daytime, there are not many guest officials at this stall, and there are so many good things in the lush capital of Dali, it is doomed that the business of the 'grocery store' is not very good.

Not to mention the 'grocery store' in front of me.

A piece of tattered blue cloth was spread randomly on the ground, and some messy things were placed on the floor, some new and some old, and some of the things on it were even stained with dust and mud, and they hadn't even been cleaned up.

The stall owner was an old man in ragged clothes, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he squatted casually on the ground, taking two puffs at random.

The white lion 'Zhao Zhaozhao' was squatting in front of the stall, with its hind legs lying down and its front legs propped up on the ground.

Turning back from time to time, she barked wildly at Xu Huaixiu.

When Xu Huaixiu was about to approach, Zhao Zhaozhao jumped up and jumped into Xu Huaixiu's arms.

"Little eunuch, buy the black burnt wood on the rightmost corner of the stall." Zhao Zhaozhao whispered in Xu Huaixiu's ear.

"what?"

Xu Huaixiu was stunned and bought a piece of wood, but since Zhao Zhaozhao mentioned it, there must be her reasons.

He squatted down, glanced at the small stall casually, and picked and picked.

Many of the above things seem very strange, but Xu Huaixiu, who is a later generation, has seen too many things, and these did not arouse his interest.

Xu Huaixiu picked up a long columnar cylinder on the booth, with a somewhat transparent but blurry lens on both sides.

"Old man, what is this object?"

The old man glanced at it, a puff of smoke came out of his mouth, and his teeth leaked: "This is a good thing. It is a thing passed from foreign countries. It is called a far objective lens. It can see far away. It is precious, but it is a little worn out. , You missed it, how about it, is this young master interested?"

Isn't it just a telescope, Xu Huaixiu saw it at a glance, but he still pretended to see it for the first time, holding something aimed at the distance and looking at it in front of his eyes.

It's quite real from a distance, but there are some scratches on the lens, which affects the visual effect.

"Well, it's not bad, it's interesting. I wonder how this telephoto lens is sold?" Xu Huaixiu asked.

"The old man also sees that the young master sincerely wants it. How about you take this 100 taels of silver?"

"How much, 100 taels." Xu Huaixiu was surprised: "It's a bit expensive!"

"My lord, you can't say that. Rare things are more expensive. I heard that this thing is a tribute from foreign countries to Dali. It is exclusively owned by the royal family. If it wasn't for the wear and tear of this thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it. Without this Chance."

Xu Huaixiu thought for a while, pretending to be hesitant, and then he touched a piece of black charred wood in the corner without any trace, "Hey, what is this, it seems to be a piece of wood, why is it so black, the old man also brought the charcoal for the fire Sell?"

Who knew that the old man suddenly blocked Xu Huaixiu's hand with dry smoke, and with a mysterious face, he said with a half-smile: "Young master, I'm afraid he wants this thing. This thing is a good thing. If you want it, the price will be different." said."

Xu Huaixiu's heart trembled, it seemed that the old man knew the goods, and he thought the other party didn't know.

"Oh, isn't this just a piece of wood? Why did the old man say that?" Xu Huaixiu pretended not to know.

"Master?" The old man smiled and shook his head, with a look of seeing through Xu Huaixiu's thoughts.

Zhao Zhaozhao grabbed the soft flesh on Xu Huaixiu's waist with his claws.

"It's interesting to me, old man, let me offer you a price." Xu Huaixiu said.

The old man smiled, stretched out two fingers, Xu Huaixiu's eyes jumped: "How much is this?"

"Of course it's 200 taels." The old man laughed.

"200 taels?" Xu Huaixiu frowned, it wasn't that he thought it was expensive, anyway, it was all the money of an old dog, so what did it have to do with Xu Huaixiu.

Just spending 200 taels to buy such a thing for nothing, Xu Huaixiu felt that he was cheated and felt very uncomfortable.

Zhao Zhaozhao grabbed the soft flesh of Xu Huaixiu's waist again.

"Okay, I bought it." Xu Huaixiu said, and was about to take out the silver.

"Hey, I offer 500 taels, sell it to me!"

At this moment, a somewhat cold, slightly neutral voice sounded from the side.

Xu Huaixiu frowned, looked up, and saw a young man in brocade clothes standing beside him, this man was tall, slender and well-proportioned, more importantly, his chest muscles seemed to be slightly developed, his eyebrows were picturesque, his nose was straight, his lips were peach-shaped, thin and beautiful.

But there is an Adam's apple in the other party's neck, which is very obvious.

"Another overly handsome brother." Xu Huaixiu sighed.

He found that since he came here, his appearance has become a little unpopular, and there have been talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

It has nothing to do with Xu Huaixiu.

Xu Huaixiu said, "I've already bought it."

Young Master Jinyi's face was pale, holding a folding fan, without even looking at Xu Huaixiu, he just said indifferently: "Oh, you haven't settled the settlement yet, and the old man hasn't received the cash yet, so you bought this thing, the one with the highest price gets it, of course you have to buy it." Look at old man."

"500 taels, sell it to me!" Young Master Jin Yi said directly again.

Zhao Zhaozhao couldn't sit still anymore, he moved around in Xu Huaixiu's arms, very restless.

As he said that, Mr. Jinyi took out a silver ticket and dropped it on the stall, and was about to get the burnt wood, but he was stopped by the old man with a smile.

"My son, I'm sorry, there are rules. I've been a husband for some time, and I'm talking about promises. In fact, the old man couldn't recognize what it was, and didn't take it to heart, but look at this young man. I mean, I also know that this thing is not ordinary, so I directly asked for 200 taels. It may really be a good thing, and 500 taels really made the old man tempted, but the old man who shouldn’t take it is that he won’t take even a piece of money, bad After breaking the rules, how can an old man hang around in this business? The scorched wood will be sold to this young master for 200 taels, young master, let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, right?" The old man looked at Xu Huaixiu with a smile.

Xu Huaixiu looked at the old man's leaky teeth at this moment, no matter how he looked at it, it was pleasing to the eye.

After thinking about it, he took out another 300 taels from his bosom, but he was stopped by the old Taoist instead.

"Young Master, the old Taoist said, I won't take what's not mine, so take it back quickly, Young Master!" The old Taoist shook his head.

Xu Huaixiu cupped his fists with admiration on his face, put down the 200 taels, picked up the burnt wood and left.

Seeing that the stall owner didn't sell it to her, Mr. Jinyi looked surprised, even a little ugly, and seeing Xu Huaixiu pick up the burnt wood and leave, he simply chased after him.

After the two left, they were still smoking tobacco, but the leisurely stall owner suddenly blew out the smoke fiercely, winking with regret: "God, see you, why did I make this stinking problem again, am I stupid! "
