Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

The man followed Er Gouzi into the yard and asked loudly.

"Young master, I heard you want to buy this courtyard of mine?"

"Sir, may I ask why you wish to sell this house?" Chu Chen asked in return.

"Huh, you don't recognize me?" The middle-aged man seemed quite surprised.

At this moment, Er Gouzi came over and explained, "Young master, this is Boss Zhou, the biggest salt merchant in our Qingyun City. He is going to the capital to develop his business, so he has given up this courtyard."

Chu Chen understood immediately; this person was a super-rich tycoon.

In this day and age, salt is not something that can be sold casually.

"Please forgive my rudeness in front of the illustrious Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou's name is renowned far and wide. It is my great honor to meet you today. My admiration for you is as boundless as the surging river."

This flattery made Zhou Shicai quite comfortable, and he couldn't help but praise the young man in front of him.

“Young master, you flatter me. How could I, Zhou Shicai, have achieved such success? I am but a lowly merchant,” Zhou Shicai said modestly, patting his large belly.

It's easy to see that Zhou Shicai seemed very happy at this moment.

Chu Chen continued, "Mr. Zhou, could you lower the price for this courtyard?"

"Since we are destined to meet, I'll give you a fixed price of one thousand one hundred taels."

Zhou Shicai said generously that at his level, money didn't matter; all he wanted was to be happy.

"Alright, it's rare that Boss Zhou thinks so highly of you, I'll buy it!" Chu Chen said decisively.

However, he was thinking about something else at the moment: his supermarket space plus those convenience store warehouses.

There's enough salt to last several lifetimes, and there's definitely technical information on salt production in all those books.

He knew about the salt in this world; due to inadequate technology, the salt on the market all had a strong bitter taste.

Moreover, even this bitter-tasting salt is controlled by those super-powerful families.

Therefore, the person in front of you is definitely not simple.

If you can get in touch with this person, you'll never have to worry about making money.

So he said to Zhou Shicai, "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment while I go to the restroom."

Zhou Shicai looked at the boy with suspicion, thinking to himself, "Could it be that he's broke and has to go to the toilet at this crucial moment?"

A short while later, Chu Chen walked over from the front, carrying a small bag in his hand.

He walked up to Zhou Shicai and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, would you mind having a word with me in private?"

Roy and the others looked at him with suspicion. What was this kid up to now?

The longer you spend time with Chu Chen, the more you realize that he is different from everyone else and hard to understand.

Zhou Shicai was also puzzled, but he still walked to the side with Chu Chen.

Chu Chen handed the bag in his hand to Zhou Shicai.

"Boss Zhou, let me show you a treasure."

Honey, does this kid have no money and want to pay for his rent with something? What in this world could you call a treasure?

I casually opened the bag and saw that it was filled with snow-white powder. I was just wondering what this kid meant by bringing a bag of snow.

But then, he immediately realized something.

I dipped my finger in it and tasted it. It was salty, but not bitter at all.

Immediately, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.

As one of the largest salt merchants in the Great Xia Dynasty, how could he not understand the importance of what was in front of him?

This is enough to allow his family to take off again.

"May I ask your name, young master? I, Zhou, have made this friend of yours."

Zhou Shicai cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Chen and said happily.

"Mr. Zhou, my name is Chu Chen. In this world, only I can make this thing, so why don't we cooperate?"

Cooperation? So this kid wants to keep the method of making this thing to himself?

He then smiled and said, "Brother Chu, do you know that the method of making this requires extremely strong power to preserve it?"

Huh, this old guy dares to threaten me? Looks like I'll have to show my strength.

"Boss Zhou, let me show you another treasure."

After saying that, he took out the pistol from his waist and put it in his sleeve.

Because of the wide cuffs, Zhou Shicai did not see the pistol hidden in Chu Chen's sleeve.

Chu Chen pointed forward, and eight gunshots rang out, startling Zhou Shicai so much that he immediately sat down on the ground.

Looking up at the courtyard wall, one could see that where Chu Chen had pointed, bricks and stones were flying everywhere, creating eight small holes through which light could pass.

Zhou Shicai was greatly alarmed; he was a man who had seen his share of storms.

With just a casual flick of the finger, it can shoot through the courtyard wall. Could it be that an immortal has descended to earth?

That's the only explanation... Damn it, I was just threatening them.

Just as Chu Chen was lamenting how fragile the bricks of this world were.

Zhou Shicai knelt down in front of Chu Chen with a thud.

"Zhou Shicai was unaware of the descent of the immortals and has offended them greatly. Please forgive him, immortals."

Immortals? What are those? Do immortals really exist in this world?

However, he calmly helped Zhou Shicai up.

"Mr. Zhou, you flatter me. Now, do you think I can save this salt-making technology?"

"Alright, Mr. Zhou, we'll talk about that later. Let's talk about the house first."

"Please feel free to stay in the house, Immortal Chu. How could I possibly accept your money?"

Wow, that's so easy? But Chu Chen immediately dismissed the idea of ​​getting something for free.

It's nothing, I'm just afraid this person will get entangled with me.

So he said to him, "Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. One thing at a time, the money still has to be paid. Also, I still prefer your arrogant attitude from earlier."

Zhou Shicai immediately understood Chu Chen's meaning: the immortal must not want me to expose his identity; it seems I was reckless again.

So he immediately replied, "Brother Chu, to be honest, this house is nothing to me, Zhou. I'll give you a discount, two hundred taels, and I'll sell it."

Holy crap, this is way off the mark. Having real talent definitely has its advantages.

Chu Chen wanted to add more, but Zhou Shicai refused, so Chu Chen had no choice but to give up.

With Er Gouzi busy with all the procedures, the house was officially transferred to Chu Chen's name by noon.

With the twenty taels of reward money from Chu Chen, Er Gouzi happily left them.

At noon, in the No. 1 private room of Zhiweixuan, the largest restaurant in Qingyun City.

Zhou Shicai poured wine for Chu Chen with a beaming smile.

Luo Yi and Xiao Fang were both forcefully pressed onto the table by Chu Chen.

In ancient times, women were not allowed to sit at the table while men ate. Chu Chen wasn't that feudal. What's the point of drinking if there are no women around?

"Brother Chu, when will the goods be available?" Zhou Shicai asked during the meal.

Instead of directly mentioning fine salt, he referred to the goods, revealing that this Zhou Shicai was indeed a cunning old fox in the business world.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and whispered in his ear, "Three months from now, Qingniu Town, Mashan Village, awaiting Boss Zhou's arrival."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shicai immediately broke into a beautiful smile.

They kept pouring wine for Chu Chen, and the meal was very pleasant.

Even Roy and Xiao Fang gradually let loose and started drinking with Chu Chen.
