Chapter 018 Fine Silk

After letting the blood spirit and the cattle get acquainted a little, and when the blood spirit stopped hurting the cattle, Liu An followed the method taught by Liu Wen and tried to connect the cattle and the cart.

The method is not difficult. Liu An successfully connected the two after trying it twice.

Then Liu An took out the 5 pieces of silk that he had drawn in yesterday's lottery from the inventory. When he first took them out, Liu An couldn't hold them because the silk was too slippery, and all the silk fell to the ground.

5 pieces of silk, in five colors: red, black, yellow, blue and green.

Liu An planned to take it to the city to sell it in exchange for some money.

According to the market price in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the price of a horse was between 2,000 and 2,800 yen.

Lian is a fine silk from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu An had never seen what the fine silks of the Eastern Han Dynasty looked like. He planned to go to the city later to compare the quality of both sides before deciding how much he would sell the five pieces of silk.

After putting the silks on the car one by one, Liu An took out the sickle provided by the system and cut open the sacks he had brought out before and covered them with silks to prevent others from seeing them and causing unnecessary trouble.

Fearing that the wind would blow away the sack, Liu An deliberately took out his ax and pickaxe and pressed them together with the sickle on the sack.

After cleaning up, Liu An sat on the side of the bullock cart, swung the bullwhip, and lightly spanked the cow's buttocks. The cattle drove slowly towards Zhuoxian County under Liu An's driving force.

After in-depth exploration of his predecessor's memories, Liu An learned that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, buying and selling cattle as gifts had to be reported to the government.

Therefore, the method he originally thought of selling farm cattle to make money was not feasible at all, and the origin of his own cow could not be explained.

At least it wasn't registered with the government, so he couldn't sell it legally.

However, if they are just used, no one will specifically investigate whether they have cattle or not, and the source of the cattle.

The cattle walked slowly towards the town of Zhuo County.

Arriving at the official road, Liu An saw the group of victims again.

Liu An tied the blood spirit's rope to the handle of the cart to prevent it from suddenly running out and biting people nearby.

When the victims saw an ox cart coming from a distance, there were several hungry and dizzy people with red eyes eager to commit the crime.

When Liu Anxing got closer, those people suddenly calmed down when they saw the big blood-red dog running next to the car and glaring at them fiercely.

They hadn't eaten for several days, so they couldn't possibly be a match for a big, strong dog.

What's more, you can tell at a glance that the dog is extremely ferocious and not an ordinary dog.

The victims on the street moved out of the way and stayed away from the dog, allowing Liu An's bullock cart to pass by.

Liu An's force value is too low, and the main purpose of extracting the war dog is to frighten Xiao Xiao.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Liu An felt relieved and carefully drove the ox cart to the city gate.

After getting off the bullock cart, Liu An stepped forward to pay the city entrance fee.

The city guard wanted to step forward and open the sack to check the contents of the car, but he was pushed back by the blood spirit's 'ooh'.

The city guard broke into a cold sweat and reminded Liu An angrily: "The person and the car cost a total of 10 yuan. After paying the money, leave immediately!"

Liu An grabbed the blood spirit who was still trying to show off his power, bowed and apologized to the city guard, then took out 15 coins and gave them to the city guard, then took the cow into the city.

Liu An will go in and out of Zhuoxian many times in a short period of time. It is best not to provoke the city guards.

Five dollars is not a lot of money, and Liu An would be willing to spend it if it could save him some troubles he might encounter.

After Liu An left, Cheng Wei rubbed the five extra coins in his hands and said with a smile: "This guy is no ordinary person."

"How can I see it?"

"He was afraid that his dog would make me angry, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he secretly gave me an extra five yuan to calm me down, which shows his scheming. Furthermore, his dog is extraordinary at first glance. It is definitely not an ordinary dog!"

Not to mention that the city guard used the dog to cover up the fact that he was frightened by the dog. After Liu An entered the city, he once again went to the 'Lu's Clothing Store' where he bought clothes yesterday.

Parking the ox cart on the roadside in front of the door, and tying the ox rope to the pillar in front of the door, Liu An walked into the garment shop.

The shopkeeper still had some impression of Liu An. He saw that he was a big buyer who bought a lot of clothes yesterday, and greeted him warmly:

"Young gentleman, you are even more elegant today than you were yesterday! I wonder what you need this time?"

"The shopkeeper is so impressed. I came here today to ask how to sell refined products?"

"Oh? What color do you want, young man?" The shopkeeper became even more enthusiastic when he heard this. The price of pure silk is the highest.

"Can I please tell the shopkeeper in detail, no matter what color it is."

"This black train costs 2,800 yuan for a horse, 750 yuan for a battle, and 80 yuan for a foot. The same is true for the red train. The other colors are 2,600 yuan for a horse, 680 yuan for a foot, and 72 yuan for a foot."

The shopkeeper walked to the silks displayed on the wall, pointed at the silks of various colors one by one, and introduced them to Liu An.

Liu An stepped forward and touched various silk fabrics, then lifted up a little and looked at them for a while.

The quality was indeed worse than what I got from the system, so I started to care.

"Shopkeeper, wait a moment, I'll take a look at something with you."

After saying that, Liu An went out and took a piece of silk from the car, then turned around and entered the house again.

The blood spirit was guarding there, and ordinary people could not get close to the bullock cart. Liu An was not worried even if no one was watching the silk on the cart.

Carrying a piece of silk into the room, the shopkeeper came over curiously to check it out.

Liu An took the opportunity to unfold some of the silk for the shopkeeper and let him take a closer look.

"Where does this... this refinement come from?" The shopkeeper looked at it for a while and asked in shock.

Liu An smiled and said nothing.

It is very impolite to question the origin of someone else's treasure, but the shopkeeper was understandably surprised by the quality of his silk, and Liu An didn't blame him.

Realizing that he had lost his temper, the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I have lost my temper, I hope you don't blame me. This practice is of excellent quality. I wonder what you meant by showing it to me?"

"I occasionally got some training, but I can't use it all at home. I'm not a cloth seller, so I'm going to give it up to the shopkeeper. I wonder if the shopkeeper will accept it?"

"May I ask how many you have, Mr. Lang? Are they all of the same quality as this one?"

"There are 5 horses left, one each of red, yellow, blue and green."

"In that case...I can accept it on behalf of my boss, but the price..." The shopkeeper agreed to Liu An after seeing that he didn't see much.

If the amount is large, he alone as the shopkeeper will not be able to make the decision.

The most important thing is that he is afraid that if he doesn't accept it, Liu An will sell it elsewhere.

There are few such high-quality brocades in the world, even the world-famous Sichuan brocade. No matter the color or material, it is probably not as good as this black brocade.

But if we talk about the price, this practice is definitely far inferior to Shu Brocade.

Sichuan brocade has many colors, and before there were special machines, Sichuan brocade was all made by hand, stitch by stitch, and the manual labor cost far exceeded that of refining.

Moreover, its patterns and colors are more beautiful and attractive, and they look very good when made into clothes.

Liu An was not sure how good his silk was, so he asked the shopkeeper: "Please give me a price."

"Hmm..." The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "I am willing to take Langjun's black horse for 3,000 yuan. The same goes for the red horse. The other three horses are 2,700 yuan each. How about it?"

Liu An didn't understand silk, but he knew that there was no one-shot deal.

Shaking his head, Liu And said: "I sincerely sell it, and I hope the shopkeeper will accept it sincerely... 4,000 for black and red training, and 3,500 for the others. I wonder what the shopkeeper thinks?"

"It's too expensive." The shopkeeper also shook his head and said: "If we buy it at such a high price, if we can't make enough profits, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my job."

Liu An knew that the shopkeeper just wanted to continue to bargain and was not really going to be fired by his employer.

But he was also happy to climb up the pole. He originally raised the price from the ground and paid back the money on the spot. His expression softened a little, and Liu An hesitated and said:

"That's it, 3500 for the red and black training, and 3200 for the other. If it still doesn't work, I won't let the shopkeeper embarrass me, and leave now..."
