"Go, go, get out of here." The middle-aged man looked impatient.
Subconsciously, he waved his hand to the servant to come out with a stick, as if he was going to punish him with a stick if he disagreed.
"Sir, don't worry, just take a look." Wang Chen's heart pounded, looking at the iron-wrapped stick, he was naturally a little hairy. This thing would tear open the skin and flesh.
As he spoke, he opened his basket.
"It's shameless..." The middle-aged man was a little angry. Why, if the tiger doesn't show its power, I really don't know who will make the decision in Xiami County?
But when I turned around and saw the color of snow, I was a little frightened.
It's so white, so big, so beautiful, even more beautiful than the frost and snow in winter. It's like touching it to experience this ultimate softness.
The grains were so clear that it really looked like residual snow from a distance, but he didn't even see what it was for a moment.
But his previous vision reminded him that this must be a good thing.
"What is this?" The middle-aged man frowned, waved the servant who had just come out to go back, and turned around to ask.
When Wang Chen saw that he was interested, he felt relieved. He smiled and took out a sesame oil paper from his pocket and took some of the sugar.
He walked forward with a smile, nodded and bowed and said, "Sir, why don't you give it a try?"
The middle-aged man was a little hesitant, but after looking at Wang Chen, he dipped his finger lightly and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the expression on his face was very rich. He was shocked at first and then returned to calm.
After a few words, he said: "Yes, what is this?"
When Wang Chen saw that he had taken the bait, he lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, this is white sugar. We don't have it here. It was brought from the south as tribute to the palace."
As he spoke, he looked around with the expression on his face, as if checking whether the surroundings were safe.
After confirming, his voice was very low: "My brother found a way to get some for me to resell. This is rare."
The middle-aged man was hesitant and looked at Wang Chen quickly covering the basket, feeling a little uncertain for a moment.
This stuff is really sweet, much better than the brown sugar on the market.
Moreover, the brown sugar on the market is a bit bitter, but the white sugar is not. But is this really for the palace?
If you don’t believe it, take a look first.
The middle-aged man turned his eyes and said, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Wang Chen whispered: "Five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels?" The middle-aged man stared.
Before he could scold him, Wang Chen continued: "Five hundred taels of silver and one tael of sugar."
"Why don't you go and grab it?" The middle-aged man said directly, feeling a little annoyed.
Wang Chen didn't care, Jiang Yang had arranged for him to raise the price in advance, but the low price in his heart was only one hundred taels, which was unbeatable.
Moreover, before Wang Chen came, he had thought about what might happen here, and continued with a smile: "Sir, you must know that this sugar is the only one among us. Apart from the palace, I am the only one who has it."
"Secondly, it's very difficult to transport sugar." At this point, Wang Chen felt a little embarrassed.
Yes, transportation was too difficult. My eldest brother, a fat man, had to carry the brown sugar back one trip at a time.
It was really difficult for him.
"Furthermore, my lord, this thing is worth a lot as a gift. It's the only one you can get, so it will be a great gift."
Originally, the middle-aged man was not shaken, but when he heard this, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
It's just that I really don't dare to make up my mind about such a valuable thing.
"Wait here for a while and I'll go back and ask my master." The middle-aged man ordered.
This is what Wang Chen wants. According to the eldest brother, no, the adults want it, there are links within one, and the fish must be hooked.
Only when you meet the owner of the family can you proceed with the follow-up, just like what adults say about a Russian matryoshka doll, one ring inside another.
Not long after, the middle-aged man came out and said to Wang Chen with a somewhat joyful expression: "Bring your sugar in and come in to talk."
Wang Chen felt happy and hurriedly picked up the burden and followed the middle-aged man in.
As for the royal residence, it is not only large but also luxurious.
The rockery and water as soon as you enter the door are very luxurious, and the stone materials are not cheap.
Wang Chen was originally a poor farmer who couldn't even afford food. Now he is like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden. Everything she saw was novel.
He looked like a country bumpkin, which made the middle-aged man a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "Walk well and don't look at things you shouldn't look at."
After passing through the front courtyard and lobby, Wang Chen followed the middle-aged man to a luxurious house in the backyard.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a vulgar yell coming from inside the house.
"Damn it, look what you're good for now? Get out of here, you're an embarrassing thing.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang and a figure fell out of the house in panic.
Wang Chen took a closer look, wasn't this the bastard Wang Jianchuan?
She lowered her head subconsciously, for fear that he would recognize her.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Wang Jianchuan with some disgust and said: "Go aside, don't disturb the elegance of the members."
Wang Jianchuan lowered his head cautiously and said yes repeatedly.
After delivering the silver from the county government to the treasury yesterday, I thought it would be fine and just waited for Wang Yuanwai to make arrangements for him.
As a result, when he returned home, he found that his son was seriously ill. He heard that he had to buy some expensive medicinal materials to save him.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Wang Yuanwai today to ask for some money.
As you can imagine, Wang Yuanwai had only income but no output, so he was kicked out by Wang Yuanwai.
Wang Jianchuan felt a little sad and angry, but he also knew that he was a little anxious just now.
Relying on the shady things he had done for Wang Yuanwai over the years, he was a little bold. Not only did he tell the story about this time, but he even told about the... things about the previous county magistrate.
This, of course, made Wang Yuanwai feel that he was threatening him, but in Wang Jianchuan's opinion, this kick was light.
But there was nothing he could do about his son's illness. He couldn't raise any money, so he had to go back and prepare for his son's funeral.
When he was feeling sad and angry, he saw the middle-aged man, Manager Liu, the key member of Wang Yuan's family, suddenly leading someone in.
This profile looks familiar, and this back seems familiar.
Wang Jianchuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
....
As soon as Wang Chen walked in, he saw a man lying there, surrounded by several maids serving tea and water, feeding him fruits, and several people rubbing his legs and massaging his legs.
He looks like an emperor.
"I heard you have good stuff here? Tell me." Wang Yuanwai looked sideways and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
It sounded like a command.
Wang Chen didn't dare to say anything. He just laughed and said what he had just said to Manager Liu at the door, adding some exaggeration and jealousy.
After all, Wang Yuanwai was also a member of the upper class, so he naturally understood the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
It was not strange for the so-called tribute items to be taken out and resold. He even bought jewelry that leaked out of the palace.
After listening to Wang Chen's words, Mr. Wang waved his hand.
