"Get out!" The buddy waved the wooden stick, he stared angrily, and walked towards Apu and the others.

Several guys were approaching them, even the most stable Apu couldn't help taking a step back at this moment.

This is already four stores. Although the city is not small, there are not many big stores. If they are driven out again, they will really see no hope here.

Apu quickly raised his hand and waved it, his eyes were sincere, and his tone even pleaded: "At least take a look and let your boss see what we brought."

Guys walked up to him impatiently, reaching out and shoving them.

"What good can a redneck have?"

"If you want to sell something, you should set up a stall yourself. This kind of place is not for you."

Apu was desperate, setting up stalls to sell at no price at all, those aristocratic wives and ladies would never go to the stalls to buy things, they would only go to places that fit their identities, let alone those noble gentlemen, their The requirements will only be higher.

"Don't move!" Dro suddenly shouted.

The guys stopped their movements together with Apu, and looked at Dro standing at the door with a little confusion.

Dro's face flushed, he raised his arms high, and everyone's eyes focused on his hands following his movements.

The guys stopped moving. They looked at the things in Dro's hands and thought for a moment that they had an illusion.

How could a country bumpkin have such a good thing? !

Delo held a "diamond" brooch in his hand. The rhinestones with advanced cutting methods were more dazzling than real diamonds in this era.

The sunlight fell on the brooch, refracting bits and pieces of light, as if it was not a brooch, but a light source.

"This is what we brought!" Dro shouted, "You don't want it, we're leaving now!"

Dro has forgotten what Apu told him not to take out the goods before seeing the boss, for fear that someone will take advantage of the money and rob them at that time.

But Dro, who had been driven away several times, almost lost his sanity.

He only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, trying to swallow him whole.

The guys didn't talk for a long time—their shop sold everything, from rings on ladies' little fingers, buttons on clothes, to gorgeous headgear, bow ties and hats for gentlemen, what was good and what was bad, They can all see it.

"Wait!" The leader was stunned for two seconds, and finally said, "Follow me to the back first, I'll go find the boss."

Apu warned: "We brought more than these things. If you want to do something to us, you won't have the chance to buy them again."

When Apu said this, he had no idea.

They are on someone else's territory. Here, they have no relatives and friends, and no capital to protect themselves.

But at this time, they have no choice but to gamble.

When he went to the store with his buddy, Apu was still emphasizing: "There are a lot of people here, and the things we bring are all outside the city."

The man knew what Apu meant. Although he thought the things they brought were good, he didn't think highly of them.

"Let's do it, I'll call the boss." The clerk led them to the room in the store. This room was only furnished with tables and chairs. The furnishings were simple, but it was clean and tidy. It was obvious from a glance that it was used for receiving guests.

Dro had just been bold once, but now he calmed down and realized that he was afraid. He clung to Apu so tightly that he didn't even dare to sit down.

The guys didn't stay in the room either. After taking Apu and the others in, the guys withdrew from the room.

After the people left, Dro whispered to Apu: "Did I do something wrong?"

Apu sighed: "I have done everything, whether it is right or wrong depends on whether they will find the boss."

It depends on whether the boss is willing to do business with them.

He wasn't afraid that the boss didn't want their goods, what he was afraid of was that the other party wanted to do a no-cost business, wanted the goods, but didn't want to pay.

In other people's territory, there are risks in whatever you do.

Apu can only gamble, bet that his luck is good enough, and bet that the owners of these big stores have a long-term vision.

Other than that, there wasn't much he could do.

·

I don't know how long I waited, but when Apu also started to panic and couldn't sit still anyway, and wanted to open the door to go out to check the situation, footsteps finally came from outside the door.

It was a very different footstep from the man's, heavier and slower.

The moment the door was opened, Apu's heart also rose to his throat.

"Let me take a look." The person who opened the door opened his mouth before entering the room, and he didn't even have the most basic greetings.

Apu didn't dare to take Joe, he took the brooch from Dro, walked up to the boss respectfully, and handed the brooch over with both hands.

Perhaps it was because of his low profile that the boss gave him a look of approval, probably because he thought it was not easy for a bumpkin to have such an attitude.

But soon, the boss' eyes were attracted by the brooch, his eyes were stuck to the brooch, and he couldn't pull it out.

Apu is also sizing up the boss. The boss is not very old. He looks like he has just inherited the shop. He has blue stubble on his chin. He is not tall, half a head shorter than Apu, but he is very well-off. , with a majestic big belly, a round face, and a very amiable look.

"What gem is this made of?" The boss had never seen such a transparent gem.

Now the best rubies are exclusively for the royal family, but even the craftsmen of the royal family cannot polish the gems so clear, let alone such a small cut.

The boss is also well-informed, but he has never seen such a cutting method. After all, gemstones are now polished into ellipses or perfect circles. If they can be slightly brightened, they are considered high-quality goods. Now the brooch in his hand can be sold with his eyes closed. Offer a high price.

Apu quickly said: "This is not a gem, it's a rhinestone, a diamond."

The boss doesn't know what rhinestones are or what diamonds are. When Apu said this, he could only nod and say, "How much are you going to sell?"

Apu's price for such a rhinestone brooch is two silver coins and four coins, which is equal to one fifty copper coins. He pursed his lips, swallowed and said, "One gold coin, two silver coins."

The boss glanced at him: "You can sell it by yourself, and you can set a high price, but you can't sell it to me."

"You said you have a lot of goods, so how many are there? If the lady and husband in this city can't finish eating, I have to take the manpower and the team to other towns. Hiring the manpower and the team will cost money."

"If you don't want to sell it to me, you can leave now." The boss said in a spirited manner.

Apu knew that the other party was putting on an act, but he couldn't help it. This is the only big shop in the city that is willing to do business with them, so he said, "If you can eat them all, I can buy a brooch as long as I buy it." One gold coin and two silver coins may not seem like much, but you also know that if there are more brooches and one less than two silver coins, the sum will be quite a lot.”

The boss didn't speak, he had nothing to do: "Only this? Is there anything else?"

He kept holding the brooch, not feeling at all that he should put it down.

Apu took out crystal balls from his backpack one after another.

The crystal ball he brought out was a pure handicraft, without a base, and could not play music.

But there are still small houses and snowflakes inside, and you can see the snowy scene with a slight sway.

The boss is obviously more interested in this. Although the rhinestone brooch is bright and precious, the jewelry is basically the same, and it will not give people a novel look, but the crystal ball is different. It can be played with and does not move. It seems that the sky is shining brightly, and it is snowing when it moves.

It's like a crystal ball with two seasons.

And it doesn't snow in their place, even if it will fall every few years, it's still light snow, which melts before it hits the ground.

Before the boss could speak, Apu was taken out of his backpack with plastic hairpins of various colors and a bracelet made of plastic beads.

When Apu took out the colored ink from the bag again, the boss completely fell silent.

"Boss, look at these..." Apu looked up at the boss.

At this moment, the boss lost his voice. He stared blankly at the things that Apu brought out. He once thought that he wanted to get rich and went crazy, but he had such an outrageous hallucination. Isn't he dreaming?

Apu called again: "Boss?"

The boss finally recovered from Apu's call, he pursed his lips: "How many of these things do you have?"

"Let's talk about the total price, I can buy them all."

Boss: "But there is one condition. From now on, all your things can only be sold to me."

Apu said cautiously: "Then it will be the same price from now on?"

Apu had his own calculations in mind. If the boss raised the price, they must also raise it. Otherwise, the boss would raise the price higher and higher in the future, and they would still get so much money. Not to mention his companions, he couldn't stand it.

The boss smiled: "Two years, you have to sell it to me at this price for two years, and we can discuss it after two years."

"But no matter how much money I sell in the past two years, you can't raise it."

two years...

Apu thought for a while, they didn't have the ability to sell these things to rich noble lords and wives, they didn't have the contacts and connections, and even if they were lucky enough to sell them, they were unlikely to sell all of them.

Even if the boss said, this town can't afford so many goods.

If you want to sell at a high price, you have to take the fleet to other places.

Rare things are more expensive, and if there are too many such goods in a place, they are worthless.

So Apu nodded: "Okay, do we need to sign a contract?"

Only then did the boss look at Apu squarely: "You even know about the contract?"

Contracts are also something that has emerged in the past two years, and only big businessmen will sign them. Generally speaking, businessmen will not sign with private individuals. After all, private individuals can run away when they turn around.

"You can sign if you want." The boss nodded. "You come here once every two months. Next time you come here, you don't need to bring any goods. I will tell you what to bring and how much to bring."

The boss hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and patted Apu on the shoulder: "You guys work hard, I won't treat you badly."

Apu smiled at him.

They chatted until dark, but the boss never took out the place of purchase from Apu.

It was already dark when Apu and the others left the store, and all the things they brought were left in the store, and the boss also paid them the money for these things.

After they left, the guy asked the boss for no reason: "Just let them go?"

The boss rolled his eyes: "Idiot, don't let them go, how do we know where they bought the goods?"

"When they give me all the goods, you can find a few people to follow them and see where they bought them."

The boss sneered: "If it wasn't for knowing this, why would I do business with these bumpkins? Detain them, these things are mine without cost."

The guy quickly flattered: "The boss still thinks more."

The boss squinted his eyes and didn't answer.

What kind of place, what kind of craftsman, can create these exquisite little things?

He has never even seen a person like him who traveled all over the country with his father. One can imagine how much sensation these things will cause in this world.
