Lady forced to seek prince

With Sui Ji's identity, Zhao Luoyang naturally mixed in with merchants.

The people around are all merchants who are willing to spend some money, and the transactions they are talking about are at least dozens or hundreds of taels.

This inn is a place for repairs and a place for information exchange. Just like the person said before, everyone can buy and sell goods here.

But no one would talk about the affairs of the government office in public.

The inn stewed two whole lambs tonight, so basically every table has mutton. The mutton is soft and rotten, melting in the mouth, fragrant and soft. After eating a few bites, the whole body is warmed up.

Zhao Luoyang has never eaten such a good food. Even if he can exchange things from the system, he is still full and dare not put it in the pot with great fanfare.

Even if the farmers got meat before the relocation, they wouldn't spend so much time and effort to stew all the aroma of the mutton.

If the children of sixteen households were here, they would probably stare with greedy eyes, and the adults would inevitably swallow their saliva secretly.

For them, such a meal is really unthinkable. When the grandmother and the others left the mansion, the pancakes they took away were all kinds of wild vegetables and chaff mixed in it, and the younger children couldn't swallow it.

After completing the character card task, Zhao Luoyang must buy a sheep for everyone to eat.

One sheep, sixteen households, everyone can share some, and it should be stewed like this, with more water, not enough meat, but enough mutton soup and cooking cakes.

Winter is coming, everyone should replenish the energy consumed on the road.

After doing this, I don't know how much of her wealth will be left, which can be used when she settles down.

In Zhao Luoyang's heart, the sixteen households must live together. Everyone has one mind on the road, and they can rely on each other when they settle down. No matter what they do in the future, they will be smoother than others.

The mutton was not finished, but it was impossible for Zhao Luoyang to take it back on such an occasion, so he could only pretend not to care and ask the shop assistants to remove it.

A pot of tea was served at the end.

Zhao Luoyang drank tea slowly and listened to the people around him.

At this moment, the two merchants reached a consensus, one merchant sold the medicinal materials received by the other, and both of them were happy.

"I'm going to transport this batch of medicinal materials to the pharmacy in the south. If the caravan hadn't been delayed by the epidemic, I wouldn't charge you a high price."

"We can't make money with these medicinal materials, but we have to do what we promise to the pharmacy. Even though we are not scholars, we have to do things of faith."

"You are not at a loss, little brother. You are not in a hurry to deliver the goods anyway, and you can stay here for half a month. You can receive a lot of medicine in half a month, which is enough for you to earn a small sum."

The merchants who sold medicinal materials also had smiles on their faces.

The merchants next to him looked envious.

"In a few days, it will be too cold to stay here," another merchant said, "it would be good to go home early, and come to receive the goods after the spring of the next year. Besides, the fabrics you bring from the south can also be sold at high prices. .”

"These are all scarce items."

"There is also rice..."

"How can we sell things like rice and grain? Before the relocation order came down, someone got wind of it and brought the grain over early. When we knew the news, it was already too late, so we could only bring less."

The merchant who received the medicinal materials was surnamed Zheng, and he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, if you are really interested, why not talk about the best-selling products at the moment."

When Mr. Zheng said this, someone responded immediately: "You mean spices?"

Mr. Zheng nodded: "Nowadays, in a wealthy family, who doesn't burn incense before going to bed? It is also used to smoke clothes on weekdays. The price of spices in the capital is getting higher and higher. I brought some frankincense over here. I haven't advanced to the state yet. sold out."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested.

"There is no banquet without incense, but now frankincense can be sold for several hundred per catty, and ordinary people can get a little bit, and use it for big things, it is already amazing."

"You can still bring spices, that's really unusual."

Mr. Zheng waved his hand: "I can't bring much, how can there be as much as a catty, just sell some scattered."

The merchants wanted to hear Mr. Zheng continue talking, and immediately someone asked for wine from the store, and the merchants around went over to gather together, and quickly exchanged glasses.

The clerk came to refill Zhao Luoyang's tea, and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to be lively?"

Zhao Luoyang said: "You can also hear it here."

The clerk responded: "I'll bring you another plate of freshly roasted pine nuts, please sit down slowly."

The buddy walked away, Zhao Luoyang opened the system in his mind to check, the charm value and wealth value fluctuated greatly, but the exchange goods in the wealth area did not increase.

Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu: "We don't seem to have thought too thoroughly. Zhao Jingyan mentioned spices when talking to Sun Ji before, but because we wanted to catch Sun Ji, we put all our energy on the horse."

The information she exchanged from the charm value area during this period was about horses and tea, and she didn't think of spices at all.

Without the help of the system, she didn't understand the spices those merchants talked about, but it seemed that the topic of these people tonight would revolve around this.

There are also too many things to arrange, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes.

Zhao Luoyang couldn't help sighing: "In the public, you can't talk about war horses, so you can only mention spices."

Shi Jiu said: "No matter how thorough the preparation is, there will be deviations when it comes to the real face. There are also silk and porcelain in the goods we exchange with foreigners. You can't read through all the relevant materials."

Zhao Luoyang discovered that Shi Jiu could comfort others, but she used to think that Shi Jiu was too harsh on her.

Things have come to this, and now she hastily went to the charm value area to exchange the materials, and I'm afraid she doesn't have time to read them, because when she is immersed in her mind to read the materials, if the current situation changes, she can't participate in it.

After weighing it for a moment, Zhao Luoyang decided to pay attention to Master Zheng's situation.

When Mr. Zheng got drunk, he talked more.

"I also received some spices along the way. Some are really high-grade, some..." Mr. Zheng shook his head, "We can only sell them to the county."

A merchant said, "Brother Zheng, have you received any good spices? Can you show them to us for a long time to learn?"

Mr. Zheng compared his fingers with his mouth: "Is there anything to say about other spices? The family I collected spices this time was also a big family in the past. His son didn't live up to his expectations and ruined the house. Only these spices are left. , let the creditors snatch a lot, and the rest are mixed together."

"But I still can tell, there is still good musk in it."

"Oh, musk, good musk is hard to find."

"There is another one," Mr. Zheng said, "it's a big shop, but there are bad things in it. I also bought some. There are always many buyers who don't know the goods. I sell them cheaper. Although the incense is not pure, but they are Most of the people who come and go on weekdays can't smell it, and it saves money for him, how bad is it?"

"That's right, that's right," someone said, "Buying and selling this thing doesn't depend on whether the goods are good or bad, but on what the buyer wants."

Everyone raised their glasses to respect Mr. Zheng again.

Master Zheng was about to drink, but suddenly he stroked his beard: "Drinking like this is not very interesting, why don't we play something else, so we can get through this long night."

Everyone asked what to play again.

Mr. Zheng said: "I'll take some of the spices I collected and give them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper knows the price of these spices. Let's have a game to win or lose. Whoever can pick out the most expensive bottles of spices in it will win. The more you win, the more prizes you will naturally get. Those who come to play will not be charged too much, and each person will always pay money. If you don't enjoy playing for a while, everyone will add more."

Mr. Zheng took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, about three taels or so: "This is for extra money. But the ugly thing is, if you guess wrong, all the remaining silver will be mine."

Everyone is eager to try.

Guessing spices is not a test of skill. Whoever can recognize the good spices will win against those who compete with him, and the money will naturally belong to him. If he can keep winning, he can win everyone's money.

Yiguan money is nothing to merchants, there is no other entertainment here, if you take out Yiguan, even if you lose it, it will be gaining insight.

Mr. Zheng continued: "If you think my price of spices is wrong, I have a document issued by the shopkeeper of 'Tang Ji'. In short, I will never lie to you."

Everyone agreed one after another, took out the silver and put it on the table, and the servants of the Zheng family also went to get the spices to the shopkeeper.

That's how everyone started.

Zhao Luoyang stared at the situation over there, and saw that the merchants were aroused to compete. Some people lost and some won. The losers felt it was a pity, and the winners were very happy, but they soon met their opponents again.

This came and went several times, and everyone began to continue to add money to it.

Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said: "Now there are more than 40 coins on the table."

Zhao Luoyang naturally doesn't care about money, but the money accumulated in this game is getting more and more.She also wondered what kind of spices Mr. Zheng had so hard to distinguish?
Shi Jiu said, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Luoyang didn't hesitate: "If you rob like a bandit, you can gain a lot immediately."

This is just a joke.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Tell me, will someone come to play with me?"

Mr. Zheng, who was surrounded by everyone, looked at her several times while pretending to be casual.

This time, Sun Ji may bring spices from outsiders, maybe we need to see her ability to distinguish spices.

If she had known earlier, she might as well have walked around the inn to see if any horses were sick, and treated them by the way, which would dispel Sun Ji's suspicion of her.

Another person returned from Mr. Zheng's table, and the merchant handed the spices in his hand to the shopkeeper, shook his head and said, "I really can't tell which bottle of spices is better."

"Brother Zheng, these bottles of spices are too similar, they smell...there is no difference."

If the ability is not good, naturally there is nothing to say.

Mr. Zheng was feeling happy, and he glanced at Zhao Luoyang who was beside him, he smiled and said: "That little brother, why don't you come and play?"
