Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

In the East Market, the sounds of hawking are everywhere.

Zheng Zhengjin was thinking about whether he should give Li Shimin a bad idea and ask him to arrange some urban management officers to enforce the law, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled at the Goguryeo merchant and said, "Well, five taels of silver is indeed expensive. Of course, if it's one tael of silver per stick, I can buy all the things on your stall."

Jiang Ci's eyesight naturally allowed him to see that this batch of ginseng was definitely not the Korean ginseng he mentioned, but rather the wild 100-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain. They were all at least 100 years old.

Zheng Zhengjin also knew that Goguryeo had been lost since the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui. At the same time, Goguryeo's attitude became more and more arrogant. There were indeed a lot of wild ginseng in the Changbai Mountain area.

At this moment, the Goguryeo merchant was very hesitant. He was thinking that he probably had a bag of ginseng in his hand, which was about 100 pieces. Of course, he was willing to exchange it for money, but he wanted Zheng Zhengjin to pay more.
After all, all foreigners know that the Han people are stupid and have a lot of money.

"Are you going to sell it? If not, forget it. After all, I can't force you to buy or sell it, right?" Zheng Zhengjin said with a smile.

The Goguryeo merchant was very hesitant. He thought Zheng Zhengjin knew the value of the ginseng, so he wanted to raise the price. However, Zheng Zhengjin's move almost made the Goguryeo boss faint on the spot.

Xiaobai in Yu Youwei's arms stretched his head and looked at the ginseng in Zheng Zhengjin's hand.

Zheng Zhengjin took out five taels of silver from his trouser pocket and threw it to the boss, saying, "Boss, I'll buy this ginseng." After saying that, he turned around and handed the ginseng to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai started to eat it with a smacking sound.

The boss almost got mad, thinking: "What the hell, this guy must be the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, but he actually spent five taels of silver to buy snacks for his pet. He must be convinced."

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and patted Xiaobai on the head, then said to the Goguryeo boss, "Okay, goodbye, boss. See you again if we're lucky."

The Goguryeo boss panicked instantly. After all, five taels of silver were not enough for him to return to Goguryeo.

So he asked Zheng Zhengjin, "Sir, is one tael of silver a little too low?"

Zheng Zhengjin said: "Actually, I think one tael of silver is a bit expensive, but my pet likes it after all. If the pet doesn't like it anymore, then I don't need it even if you give it to me."

The Goguryeo merchants were anxious. The Korean ginseng could not be sold for much money there. They originally thought that they could sell it for some money in the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, people bought it to feed their pets. What the hell?

The Goguryeo merchant gritted his teeth and asked, "Sir, do you want all of them?"

Zheng Zhengjin nodded and said, "Of course."

The Goguryeo merchant then laid out all his ginseng, counted them one by one, and said to Zheng Zhengjin, "Sir, I have a total of ninety-nine Goguryeo ginsengs left."

Zheng Zhengjin took the packaged Korean ginseng handed over by the other party, and then said: "It's a small matter of one tael of silver. I can pay you ten taels of gold."

"Yes, yes." Ten taels of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver. Why not? It's absolutely perfect.

Zheng Zhengjin took out the ten taels of gold that Yu Youwei had been carrying on her back, and handed it to the merchant, saying, "If there are more in the future, send them directly to the Xian Guogong Mansion in Changlefang for one tael of silver per plant. I will take as many as you have." The Goguryeo merchant said excitedly, "Really?"

"The Duke never lies. Remember, this is the Duke's mansion in Changlefang!" Zheng Zhengjin raised his head, looking like the Lord is the boss and he is second only to him.

"Well, with what you said, I will prepare the supply next time I come to Chang'an." The Goguryeo merchant laughed so happily. After all, the highest price for a ginseng plant in Goguryeo would not exceed 500 coins. In other words, the cost of his 100 ginseng plants was less than 10 taels of silver.

Zheng Zhengjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember, keep going. This duke never lies. Next time you come to Chang'an, I'll take as many as you have. But don't be a sloppy person. I won't take anyone who is not qualified."

"Okay, okay. The supply next time might be a bit larger. Can you eat it all?" The Goguryeo merchant said with some worry.

Zheng Zhengjin said seriously, "I've told you, you can take as many as you want, and I won't give you a single cent less."

Zheng Zhengjin saw the worry in the other person's eyes, and then he took out a crystal clear glass bowl from the schoolbag in front of Yu Youwei and showed it to the Goguryeo merchant. The other person's eyes were full of admiration. He said, "Okay, next time, at most three to six months, I will definitely collect more Goryeo ginseng and bring it to your house."

I thought to myself, even if I don’t have that much cash, that glass bowl is enough to pay off my debts.

The boss of Goguryeo packed up his stall and immediately set off to return to Goguryeo. Before leaving, he said to Zheng Zhengjin: "It's a deal!"

"It's a deal." Zheng Zhengjin also said casually.

Then Zheng Zhengjin put the ninety-nine ginsengs into his schoolbag.
But Yu Youwei didn't feel any weight increase in her schoolbag. She looked at Zheng Zhengjin with a smile, "Sir, what is the use of this Korean ginseng? It's worth one tael of silver per plant?"

Zheng Zhengjin then whispered in Yu Youwei's ear: "This is a medicinal herb worth a thousand gold. The gold I'm talking about is gold. A thousand gold, haha."

Yu Youwei first covered her cherry lips with a look of horror, then her horrified expression disappeared in an instant, and she said with tenderness in her eyes: "Then the young master has become rich, right?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "In fact, it really doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I just want to know if the people of Goguryeo will be so angry that they die when they know that the Korean ginseng they sell to me can be worth thousands of gold after a little processing."

Yu Youwei smiled and agreed, "I think he will be so angry that he will vomit blood." It was mainly because Zheng Zhengjin whispered in her ear just now, which made her body feel numb. If Zheng Zhengjin hadn't held her hand while walking on the street, she probably wouldn't have been able to walk.

Zheng Zhengjin was carrying a guitar and Yu Youwei was carrying a schoolbag, so it was a bit troublesome for them to carry it in front of her. Zheng Zhengjin said, "Let me carry the schoolbag."

"Sir, it's okay. I can carry it. I'm not tired at all." Yu Youwei said quickly. After all, she really wasn't tired. The whole schoolbag was only as heavy as Xiaobai's. After she finished speaking, she looked at Zheng Zhengjin with her wet eyes, and Zheng Zhengjin no longer wanted to come back.

"Let's go and take a look." Zheng Zhengjin looked at Yu Youwei looking at the street stalls with her beautiful eyes but did not speak, so he took the initiative to speak.

I came to a street stall, which was a stall selling jewelry and small items.

The stall was manned by an old lady. When she saw a customer coming in, she said, "Oh, this girl is so pretty," then glanced at Zheng Zhengjin and began to introduce various handmade jewelry to Yu Youwei.
