Chapter 150 Black Market(1/2)
Finally arrived at the black market!
It is not the pattern of an ordinary market, but is opened in a rather remote manor. The walls are made of large stones, hard and thick, rough and atmospheric.
There is a very eye-catching sign on the left side of the gate, with a book written: Collection exchange meeting. There is a temporary shed on the right, where many officials sit, cooking tea, chatting, and playing cards, looking casual and tight.
Entering through the gate, the eyes were filled with translucent lights and tourists dressed in luxurious clothes, which was very lively.
This yard is large, with crossroads running through front, back, left and right, and is divided into four major areas based on this foundation.
Each stall is very luxurious, like a small private room, where buyers can sit down and taste it slowly, with tea and snacks.
There are weapons in the upper left area. Du Yong glanced casually and found that many weapons were very strange, such as a water-shaped copper shield, which was awkward no matter how you look at it. There was also a heart protection mirror with green light. I don’t know what material it was made of, and it didn’t look strong, but these two things attracted a lot of people, and they praised them one after another.
The lower left area is jade, gold and silver, porcelain, wood carvings, etc. There are many young couples walking around in this area, and there are also some old men who look like scholars.
The upper right area is ancient books, scrolls, secret books, etc., which are basically old, or even broken, but this area is the most popular, and there are people of all ages. The lower right area is groceries, all of which are strange things. Du Yong saw a porcelain basin containing pieces of black stuff, which looked like big sheep dung. The seller was spitting and introducing it. He vaguely heard that there was something to cure all diseases, and what was only 50,000 taels. Anyway, he was very scared by the buyers around him.
The dealers were all high-ranking merchants. After the negotiations were made, they took out stacks of silver notes casually.
After the seller received the silver notes, he didn't see much joy and threw them in the cash counter next to him, which reminded Du Yong of the people wearing slippers in Guangzhou in his previous life.
"Brother Yang, how much money did we bring this trip? Is it enough to buy something?"
Du Yong secretly sighed that at this moment, he felt that he was a poor man. Even if he took all his belongings, he would not be able to enjoy the fun in this place.
Yang Jin pressed the lapel of his clothes and felt the thickness of the silver bill: "Can it be tens of thousands of taels."
Du Yong smiled bitterly: "Ten thousand taels, it's not enough to buy the sheep manure just now!"
Yang Jin laughed: "What kind of sheep manure is medicinal material. This place is so big, let's take a walk around more, maybe you can find good things even if you have tens of thousands of taels."
Du Yong continued to watch and asked casually: "Brother Yang, have you also visited the black market before? Are you all so generous?"
Yang Jin shook his head: "This is the most prosperous. I used to visit, and I could buy several of them with a few thousand taels."
Du Yong suddenly stood on tiptoe and looked left and right.
Yang Jin was very surprised: "What are you looking at?" Du Yong said in a deep voice: "I was wondering whether this kind of transaction should be taxed? I didn't see anyone from the government here!"
Yang Jin laughed in silence: "This is a collection exchange meeting, how can we pay taxes?"
"There is no tax required, but the display fee needs to be paid to the government."
Mr. Wei and Zhao Dezhu have already caught up, and the speed is quite fast.
Du Yong asked: "What kind of display gold? If the seller wants to display the baby, he needs to pay the money. Is that what does that mean?"
Mr. Wei smiled and nodded: "That's about this. To be precise, it should be called a deposit. If the goods owner is willing to pay the money, it means that his things are basically fine."
Zhao Dezhu said, "The government is very good at playing. Isn't there a report place outside? If there is any problem with the goods, report it."
Mr. Wei laughed and said, "Report is a report, and display gold is a measure to regulate the market. It can eliminate a large number of sellers who want to use fake goods to fool people. Since normal sellers choose to come here, it means they have no objection. Otherwise, they can go to Nanjiao, where there is no display gold, but the buyers in Nanjiao are not as generous as here."
Pei Song sighed: "The government's move not only makes money, but also makes buyers more at ease. This is to make this place a high-end game!"
Mr. Wei chuckled and said, "It's both high-end and standardized. In recent years, the city of Danci Lake has no longer been regarded as a black market, but a serious collection exchange meeting."
Zhao Dezhuo came to Du Yong and hit his shoulder: "Old Du, have you seen any good baby?"
Du Yong said casually: "I just saw a water-shaped shield, which should be very suitable for you. It is comparable to a turtle shell when hanging on your back. It is convenient for you to pretend to be dead when you are lying down."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"You're just lying down!"
Zhao Dezhu laughed and scolded, shook his head and said, "I don't have a shield, it's so cumbersome, heart protection glasses, arm protection, etc. are almost the same."
Du Yong smiled and said, "There are also heart protection mirrors, which are also in line with your temperament. I'll take you there."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked towards the upper left area. Zhao Deju followed closely, and the others did not separate, following Zhao Deju.
Du Yong came to the boss, scanned it, but didn't find the heart protection mirror, and then shouted: "Boss, where is your heart protection mirror with green light?"
The boss was about sixty years old, with a sloppy beard, a scattered look, and was dressed very ordinary, but he looked special. He glanced at Du Yong with a strange look, and didn't say anything, and pushed a wooden box over casually.
Zhao Dezhu opened the wooden box and was almost dazzled by the green light: "I'll go, what's this!"
Du Yong laughed and said, "Is it very consistent with your temperament?"
"fart!"
Zhao Dezhu curled his lips and took out the heart protection mirror and looked left and right, muttering something in his mouth, with an expert attitude.
Mrs. Wei asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, is this thing of the name?"
Zhao Dezhu thrust his waist and said mysteriously: "This thing has a great reputation. I tell you, just this heart protection mirror has a history of at least thousands of years, so it's best to use it for research."
"Old Zhao, when did you understand this?" Du Yong laughed.
"I know all weapons, especially heart protection mirrors. I know all kinds of heart protection mirrors." Zhao Dezhu said shamelessly.
"This is a chain frisbee!" the boss said lightly.
“…”
Zhao Dezhu and Du Yong were stunned at the same time.
The so-called chain frisbee is a long iron chain that connects the bladed frisbee and throws it out to attack the enemy. It is similar to a meteor hammer, but it is lighter and more flexible than a meteor hammer, and more difficult to use.
The boss explained slowly: "Look carefully, is there a raw embroidery hole on it? It is a chain. You should weigh it, is it very heavy? Can it be hung on your chest? Look at the edge, are there any signs of a blade?"
Zhao Dezhu came to his senses, weighed it, and said embarrassedly: "It's quite heavy!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Wei covered her mouth and chuckled.
Mr. Wei was fine, so he stopped his head and coughed twice.
Pei Song, Yang Jin and others couldn't help but laughed.
Zhao Dezhu was a little angry and glared at Du Yong: "Heart protection mirror? This is your problem."
Du Yong had no shame: "What's my question? I asked the boss to have a heart protection mirror... he just took one."
The boss sneered: "You said there was a green light... I only have this green light in my house."
Zhao Deju put the Frisbee back, picked up the water-scoop shield, and probably tried it. He found that it was quite easy. He asked casually: "How much does this shield cost?"
The boss looked very calm: "If you don't tell you the price, just 80,000!"
Eighty thousand?
Du Yong almost laughed out loud, always feeling that he had heard it somewhere.
Zhao Dezhu widened his eyes: "80,000? Why don't you rob it?"
The boss was not angry and explained in detail: "The material of this shield is very special, with sufficient toughness, and can withstand the full strength of the attacks of masters below the Jin Destruction Realm. Moreover, it has extremely strong earthquake resistance. When the energy hits, most of the energy can be dispersed on the surface. Only a very small part can be penetrated, which can be almost negligible. Eighty thousand is nothing, if it can save a life, 180,000 is not expensive. Many people just saw it, but they didn't bring enough money and asked me to keep it and not sell it. I didn't agree. If someone buys it, I will sell it."
“Is it that awesome?”
Zhao Dezhu was not interested at first, but when he heard what the boss said, he was immediately curious.
The boss raised his head: "If there is a lie, you can take it away for nothing or report it. There are officials outside, and you should have seen it when you come in."
Pei Song asked, "Boss, can I give it a try?"
The boss nodded and signaled to try it casually.
Pei Song took the shield from Zhao De's assistant, resisted it on his right shoulder, and then stole it: "Old Zhao, give me a punch."
Zhao Dezhu stretched out his right fist, let out a sigh, and laughed: "Be careful, I'm an iron fist."
Pei Song tightened his nerves and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, come quickly, don't be reserved, and have a full blown blow."
Zhao Dezhuo's right fist felt like an iron fist, and he screamed strangely and hit the shield.
when!
The sound of metal hitting sounded, with a faint echo.
The energy spread around the surroundings in a irregular manner, which put a lot of pressure on people, and everyone immediately moved away a little.
Zhao Dezhu was shocked by the counterattack force and took more than ten steps in a row, unable to help but snort.
Pei Song didn't even move, and he didn't even move.
Everyone was moved at the same time, but the boss still looked calm, as if he had known that the result would be like this.
"Awesome!"
Du Yong murmured to himself, and was amazed in his heart. Zhao Dezhu had also engraved the fourth level of seal. This kind of sandbag-style attack should not be underestimated.
Pei Song stood up straight and gently touched the shield. His eyes were filled with surprise and he couldn't let go of his love.
After Zhao Dezhu recovered, he came over and asked, "Boss Pei, did you do the counterattack just now?"
Pei Song shook his head: "I just slightly blocked the energy coming through. In fact, there is no need to resist. The boss said just now, and that energy coming through is almost negligible."
The boss said proudly: "I didn't lie, are you?"
Zhao Dezhu snorted: "I didn't care just now, I want...I want to try another person."
The boss nodded: "Yes, the premise is that it cannot be the realm of Jin Destruction."
Zhao Dezhu rolled his eyes: "Look at our group of people, the oldest one is only in his thirties. Can we have the Jin Dynasty's destruction realm?"
