At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 182 Ghost Market Trading
"How about it? If you are tired, let's go to the Heshan Hall!" Don't forget that you have two small businesses to discuss?" Nangong Lin said and brought Yu Yunxin to the Heshan Hall
Heshan Hall is a unique teahouse in the ghost market, located in the center of the ghost market. They stepped into this mysterious Heshan Hall together. As soon as they entered the lobby, they were greeted by two figures, one black and one white - the Black and White Impermanence! In addition, there was an old woman with a cane and white hair. Seeing this, Yu Yunxin couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Could this old woman be the legendary Meng Po?
They looked at Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin, and bowed to them respectfully: "Master and Madam, Ghost Doctor and Master Lei have been waiting for a long time." Meng Po spoke first and led everyone forward.
"Meng Po from the suburbs of Beijing, it's been a long time since we last met! You look younger now." The ghost doctor said with a smile as he looked at Meng Po who had walked in. Then Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin strode into the lobby.
Lei Laoba, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up immediately when he saw Nangong Lin. He wanted to bend his legs to salute, but was stunned by Nangong Lin's eyes.
Lei Laoba understood what Nangong Lin meant and did not make any unnecessary movements. He just sat back in his seat.
Yu Yunxin saw the one-armed Lei Lao Ba and the Black and White Impermanence and recalled what happened at the post station a few years ago. She looked at Nangong Lin, who seemed to know her doubts and smiled, "I'll tell you what happened in the backyard that day when I go back."
She is Nangong Lin's person now, and she also knows the big things Nangong Lin is going to do. She held Nangong Lin tightly and said, "No need, I'm a little sleepy, let's get things done early!"
Eunuch Hua was originally sitting on a chair. When he saw Meng Po and the Black and White Impermanence coming in, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and trembled with fear. At the same time, he tightly hugged the huge bundle in his hands, as if there was something extremely precious in it.
Next to him were the One-Eye Man and two other men. They were sitting on an enormous box. One of them was carrying a bamboo basket filled with sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Sitting in the main seat of the hall was a middle-aged man with a broken arm and a full white beard. He looked to be in his fifties. It was Lei Lao Ba. He could be said to be the only person in the ghost market who did not wear a mask.
The ghost doctor slowly sat back on the left, while Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin were arranged on the right. Meng Po stood quietly behind Lei Lao Ba, ready to serve him at any time. As for the work of pouring tea and water, it was the responsibility of the Black and White Impermanence. However, seeing the tea they poured, Yu Yunxin was somewhat hesitant to try it easily.
"This happened today, fortunately the ghost doctor noticed it in time, otherwise I don't know how many people would be poisoned in my ghost market. I don't want this place to really become a ghost market! In the future, before entering the market, we must strengthen inspections and never let those poisonous items enter the ghost market again." Lei Lao Ba looked at Meng Po sharply and said.
Upon hearing this, Meng Po nodded nervously, saying that next time she would personally lead her men to carefully check all the goods and there would definitely not be any mistakes again.
And their conversation seemed to be directed to Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin looked at Yu Yunxin who was sitting aside and looked a little tired and felt a little regretful and guilty in his heart. Why didn't he let Xin'er sleep well? He knew that she was going to go to the ghost market, so couldn't he be patient for a while? Why did he torture her like that? Thinking of this, he immediately took out a refreshing coffee candy from his sleeve and stuffed it into Yu Yunxin's mouth.
Yu Yunxin ate secretly and drank a sip of tea with peace of mind. She felt her tiredness disappear a little, sat up straight and looked at Eunuch Hua.
Eunuch Hua understood the look Yu Yunxin gave him and glanced at Master Lei Ba, "Master Lei, you also know that the items I brought are for the harem, and I am also exchanging them for some money for the ladies in the harem."
Seeing this, the ghost doctor smiled slightly and said, "The ghost market never asks about the source of goods. As long as someone wants it, it can be traded. My disciple is interested in your goods. Name your price." His tone was calm and composed, but there was a barely perceptible shrewdness in his eyes.
After hearing what the ghost doctor said, Eunuch Hua smiled with satisfaction. He slowly opened the bundle and showed the items inside. The bundle was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, including sparkling gems, exquisite jades, rare medicinal materials, etc. Each item exuded an alluring scent, making people salivate.
Eunuch Hua gently stroked these treasures, with greed and pride in his eyes. He looked up at Yu Yunxin who was wearing a cat mask, and said with a smile: "Madam, these are rare treasures, each of which is priceless. Look at this night pearl, it can illuminate the whole room; look at this jade pendant, it is a relic from ancient times, containing mysterious power..." He introduced the characteristics and value of each treasure in a torrent of words, trying to make Yu Yunxin's heart move.
Yu Yunxin quietly looked at the treasures displayed by Eunuch Hua, her eyes were calm and sharp. She knew in her heart that these were from the harem, but they were not very attractive to her as a palace maid. She really wanted to stop the harem items from flowing out at will. If too much flowed out, it would disrupt the jade market. She decided to listen to Eunuch Hua's offer first, after all, most of these were jade products.
When Eunuch Hua saw that Yu Yunxin showed no obvious interest, he felt a little disappointed. But he quickly adjusted his mindset and continued, "Madam, these treasures are rare treasures. If you buy them all, I can give you a preferential price. How about it? Please consider it." He looked at Yu Yunxin expectantly, hoping that she would accept his offer.
Yu Yunxin smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips. She said softly, "Eunuch Hua, your jewelry is really good. You should name a price! If you don't, I will have to talk to the people behind me, and we won't have to waste time." Her voice was crisp and firm, which made Eunuch Hua startled and looked at the one-eyed man and the big men sitting next to him.
Eunuch Hua's expression changed slightly, he quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "Madam, if that's the case, you can give me two hundred taels and I will sell all of these to you.
The ghost doctor heard this and asked, "Eunuch Hua, do you still want to detoxify?"
"Yes! So what do you think, sir?" Eunuch Hua looked at the ghost doctor and asked.
"I can detoxify you, but the herbs and consultation fees required are probably not enough for you!" the ghost doctor sighed.
"Then I will give all these to this gentleman. Please help me detoxify." Eunuch Hua looked at the bundle in his arms and said reluctantly.
The ghost doctor glanced at Yu Yunxin and said with a smile: "Well, the tea you just took is part of the detoxification. I want to check your pulse."
Eunuch Hua immediately handed the bundle in his hand to the ghost doctor, and then stretched out his arm. The ghost doctor gently took Eunuch Hua's pulse and felt the changes in the pulse. After a moment, he loosened his fingers, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, there is medicinal tea just now. You swallow this detoxification pill first, and the toxin will be eliminated." As he said, the ghost doctor took out a black pill from his arms and handed it to Eunuch Hua.
Eunuch Hua took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. Then he asked, "Ghost Doctor, how much is this detoxification pill worth?"
The ghost doctor smiled but said nothing. He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "The medicinal materials needed for the detoxification pills are extremely precious and difficult to refine. Besides, I won't go out to see patients without five hundred taels. You are lucky to meet my disciple today and he wants to buy your goods."
Eunuch Hua nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Ghost Doctor. You can use these items to offset the cost of the detoxification pills!"
The ghost doctor nodded slightly to show his agreement. Then, Eunuch Hua took out the goods and gave them to the ghost doctor for inventory.
At this time, Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin came forward to check the goods. After careful identification, they determined that these items came from the treasury.
Yu Yunxin looked at Eunuch Hua and smiled, signaling him to leave. She also made a note of this Eunuch Hua. He could find this Eunuch Hua through the payment records in the treasury. After all, it was impossible for him to use his real name in the ghost market. Obviously, he had done this for a long time.
After Eunuch Hua left, two of his men wearing fish masks, Duyan and Miandai, came towards them. They walked up to Yu Yunxin and Mr. Lei Baye.
The two men opened the big box directly, and inside was a full box filled with pearls of all sizes and the colorful corals that Yu Yunxin had just seen.
When Mr. Lei Ba saw them, he immediately smiled and said, "These are all seafood, the goods are really good!"
Yu Yunxin saw it more clearly this time under the bright light. These pearls were even bigger than those seen outside. She walked forward, picked up a pearl and examined it carefully, with a look of delight on her face.
Nangong Lin looked at the pearl and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This pearl was bigger than the one he had given to Nangong Sheng before, and he knew very well that his princess loved pearls the most. She would count the pearls in her private vault every night before going to sleep.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked with a smile: "Are there any other goods?"
The one-eyed man answered flatteringly, "Yes! My lord, these are all freshly-made good stuff! We know that there are many dignitaries in the capital, so we brought them all to you. They are all in the ghost market. I will ask my brothers to move all the goods here." Then he asked his younger brothers to move the things.
At the same time, the one-eyed man looked at Nangong Lin calmly. When he saw the clothes Nangong Lin was wearing, he couldn't help but be surprised - isn't this the finest cloud brocade? This kind of fabric is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear. Only the royal relatives in the capital are qualified to enjoy it. It seems that I have met a big customer today. I must seize this opportunity to make a fortune!
Thinking of this, the one-eyed man was very happy, but at the same time he was a little confused. These goods all came from a Japanese merchant ship. At that time, they took great pains to get these goods, and many brothers were killed and injured during the process. I don't know where these Japanese got so many good things from, and they were transported to the ship...
Yu Yunxin looked curiously at the baskets placed on the ground by the two people following the one-eyed fish mask, and asked in confusion: "Do you know what these are? Why are you selling them when they have sprouted?"
The one-eyed man frowned, scratched his head and said, "How would I know what these lumps of earth are! I only know that the Japanese regard these things as treasures and hide them all carefully on their bodies. I originally thought they were earth gold, but they didn't look like it. I thought it was strange, and this thing actually sprouted green buds, so I brought them to the ghost market to see if anyone knew what this thing was."
When Yu Yunxin heard the one-eyed man mention the Japanese, she immediately understood his identity - it turned out that the one-eyed man was a pirate. She couldn't help but think of the image of ancient pirates. Did all the pirates in ancient times dress like this one-eyed man? And from the one-eyed man's words, it can be heard that the target of his robbery was the Japanese pirates. Yu Yunxin secretly cheered in her heart, because the Japanese were not good people, and these pirates could be regarded as revenge for future generations.
"Don't you really know these things?" Yu Yunxin pointed at the two baskets of dirt. She suddenly realized that these sweet potatoes and potatoes are very common in modern society, but they were foreign species that did not exist in ancient times.
Nangong Lin also had these potatoes and sweet potatoes in her space. When she thought about the floods that might happen in Xizhou this year, she realized that many heroines in time-travel novels also made their fortunes from these things. So it would be impossible for her to make French fries, potato chips, and vermicelli in the future. When she thought of this, she immediately came back to her senses and looked at the one-eyed man.
Several people looked at the dirt and shook their heads, even the ghost doctor shook his head. "I thought it was some precious medicinal material, it's just a worthless dirt."
Yu Yunxin looked at everyone, then turned to the one-eyed man and said, "Okay, I'll take all these lumps of earth. How much silver do you want?"
"Madam, if you like it, after you have seen my goods, I will give these lumps of earth to you whether you want them or not." The one-eyed man said with a smile.
Soon, a dozen men wearing fish-shaped masks came in carrying boxes. They moved more than 20 boxes of goods back and forth. Except for one box of pearls, the other boxes were filled with various items. Yu Yunxin looked at the essential oils in the box in front of her, and then looked at the box. She found that this box was covered with moss, which was obviously fished from the bottom of the sea. However, these essential oils were not spoiled. She opened the top one and smelled it. The smell was still very pure.
"Boss, these colorful bottles in this box look so beautiful. This box of goods must be worth a lot of money, right?" One of the men wearing a fish mask asked the one-eyed man curiously.
"No matter whether it is valuable or not, in my eyes, only gold and silver are valuable." The one-eyed man replied softly.
However, the conversation between the two was heard by Nangong Lin, who had excellent hearing.
Yu Yunxin didn't say anything, but silently put the cork in, then gently put down the glass bottle in her hand. She stood up slowly, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in her eyes. Then, she slowly walked to another big box.
This big box is an ordinary camphorwood box, which should have been placed in the homes of ordinary people in big cities. Inside the box are some musical instruments from India, including double-sided hand drums, seven-stringed veena and sitar. These instruments are all what Yu Yunxin has come into contact with in her past experiences, especially when she studied yoga at the Unity University in India, she also specially learned the playing techniques of several local musical instruments.
