Chapter one hundred and ninetieth under the treasure market

The treasure appraisal market is divided into four major areas: the eastern area is for equipment, including weapons, hidden weapons, armors, shields, etc.; the southern area is for books, including secret books, formation atlases, alchemy recipes, talismans, various ancient books, etc.

; The west area is for elixirs, including elixirs, medicinal materials, plasters, medicinal wines, etc.; the north area is all-encompassing, mostly strange and weird things.

There is a constant flow of people coming and going in the market.

The crowds gathered in front of each stall were sparsely or densely packed, with great differences. Some stalls were so crowded that they were surrounded by water; some stalls were empty, with only mosquitoes to care about them.

Zhao Liu was born as a general, so he naturally looked down on weapons forged by the people, and he had just learned a lesson, so he chose the Western District to visit first.

There are many stalls in the West District that are so popular that there are even long queues of buyers. At any time and anywhere, elixirs to enhance one's skills and medicines to revive the dead are the most popular among warriors. As long as the goods are genuine, there will be no need to worry about them.

purchase.

Zhao Liu looked at the crowded crowd and was eager to try.

Fu Jingtao lowered his voice and said: "Young master, there is no need to waste time, let alone waste money. There are many good things in our Xuanyuan Sect Alchemy Pavilion. As long as you give Headmaster Jiang a hint, you can have whatever you want." He pointed at Zhao Liu.

As a princess of the Song Dynasty, how could Jiang Lie be stingy with a few bottles of pills?

Zhao Liu said in surprise: "Alchemy Pavilion? Does Xuanyuan Sect actually learn from Taoism to seek immortality?"

Fu Jingtao hurriedly explained that this "alchemy" was not the other "alchemy", it was purely about refining alchemy medicines needed for warriors to practice. Most of the products sold in the market from the alchemy pavilion were defective or close to failure.

The truly first-class elixirs can only be circulated through the inner gate. If Zhao Liu opened the golden mouth, he would definitely be able to get the elixirs of good quality and first-class efficacy.

Zhao Liu suddenly realized and laughed in a low voice: "Your Xuanyuanmen is quite evil!"

Fu Jingtao shrugged and said: "Zhou Yu fights the yellow cap, and one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The medicines produced by my alchemy pavilion are well-known in the world!"

Zhao Liu tilted his head and said: "When you were competing with arrows in the morning, you didn't give up even a step and looked at the sky from the corner of your eyes; now you are making suggestions for me and being very patient. I am really curious, what prompted your sudden change of attitude?"

Fu Jingtao said calmly: "Young master, you are too worried! I have always had high respect for you, but I am not good at expressing it in words. Moreover, the master has repeatedly told me that I must accompany you well and satisfy you. How can I violate the master's order?"

Order?"

Zhao Liudao: "Is there really nothing else?"

"No!"

Zhao Liu smiled: "I hope you mean what you say and don't let me catch you. Otherwise, see how I deal with you!"

Hu Feng said with a smile: "What are the methods of punishing people, sir? You might as well tell them and listen."

Zhao Liu said calmly: "It's simple, cleanse yourself and send it to the palace to serve the noble man."

Fu Jingtao couldn't help but shiver, and there was a chill between his legs. He lost his voice and said, "So cruel?!"

Zhao Liudao: "Relentless? If we were in the city of Tokyo, I don't know how many people would be willing to purify themselves and enter the palace! What do you think, are you interested in serving me? Follow me to see the prosperity of the capital and see the splendor of the imperial city.

Go and ride the prancing horse across the Central Plains."

Fu Jingtao laughed dryly and said: "Without the consent of my master, I cannot leave Lingyun Peak for even half a step. Young Master's kindness can only be accepted with heart."

Zhao Liu poked his chest with his finger and sneered: "You, you, little slippery man, I can tell how sincere you are with just a few tests. So, you can never trust men easily! Miss Hu, a passionate woman is a heartless man.

, don’t be fooled by his sweet words.”

Hu Feng's cheeks turned red and she said angrily: "Why did you drag me into this for no reason? I have absolutely nothing to do with him!"

Zhao Liu said leisurely: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Fu Jingtao really couldn't listen anymore, so he happened to catch a glimpse of the stall in front of him being free, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhao, the stuff here is pretty good, would you bother to take a look?"

Zhao Liu glanced coldly and saw a simple sign hanging above the stall with the words "Disguised in disguise, real and fake cannot be distinguished". The stall owner was an old man in his fifties with an ordinary appearance.

The rows of wooden shelves are filled with various porcelain bottles, paints, and wooden boxes. There are small labels corresponding to the selling prices. If you look carefully, the prices are not low, enough to scare away most potential candidates.

The customer, the stall owner, was not in a hurry to sell, he was teasing a thrush on a leash next to him, and chatting with each other, enjoying himself.

Zhao Liu actually knew that his technique of disguising himself as a man was too clumsy, and he could not hide it from Lao Jianghu at all. He was moved in his heart and asked: "Old man, you have so many disguise powders and potions, how do you mix and match them? Do you want to buy them all?

Not a huge sum of money?"

The stall owner glanced at Zhao Liu and said calmly: "Girl, do you want to buy it?"

Zhao Liudao: "Of course!"

The stall owner glanced at her clothes again, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously showed a respectful look. He rubbed his hands carefully and said with a smile: "If you want to learn such a simple craft, how can I do it?"

Dare you hide your secrets? If you buy a set of disguise medicines, you will receive a handwritten 'Disguise Notes', which I guarantee you will understand after reading them, so that they look real and fake."

Zhao Liu said with great interest: "Is it really that magical?"

The stall owner said: "Your Majesty, please take a look." As he said this, he turned his back and quickly moved his hands on his face. When he turned around again, he turned into the look of a wealthy businessman with an angry look on his face. He said in a loud voice: "Waiter, come here.

Five pounds of good wine!”

Zhao Liu clapped his hands and said: "Interesting!"

The stall owner took a few more powders and pigments, mixed them into a paste, and then applied them evenly to the cheeks, neck and back of the hands in front of a bronze mirror. He used a charcoal pencil to slightly outline the face to add wrinkles, turning it into an honest bad boy.

The appearance of the old farmer is really lifelike.

Zhao Liu opened his eyes and thought that if he learned this skill of disguise, it would be very convenient for him to travel in the future. He would not have to worry about being found out about his daughter's identity, which would save him a lot of trouble. He said: "Didn't you say that there are any notes on disguise?"

? Bring it and take a look first."

The stall owner quickly took out a thin booklet from under the table, handed it to Zhao Liu, and said with an apologetic smile: "I dare not deceive the nobleman because of my small skills. Just read it and let me explain if there is anything you don't understand."

"

Zhao Liu flipped through the booklet casually, reading ten lines at a glance, nodding frequently as he read. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he asked the other person directly. The stall owner really knew everything, and tried his best to answer questions and resolve doubts. He was the most conscientious person.

After reading the last page, Zhao Liu put the book into his arms with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal the guard to come forward to pay. The stall owner smiled happily and looked at the white money and was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Hu Feng was doing nothing on the side and couldn't help but look at the other stall, his eyes full of sparkling light.

Fu Jingtao followed her line of sight and saw that the items sold at the stall were very special. They were actually rouge gouache and ointment pills, which are specialties from the south of the Yangtze River. The porcelain bottles were colorful and the wooden boxes were exquisitely carved. Just looking at the packaging, it was obvious

It's worth a lot of money. He asked softly: "Junior sister likes rouge and gouache?"

Hu Feng bit her lips and said: "The powder, dew, cream and ointment produced by Jiangnan Baizhentang were popular in Jinling, and were even sent as tribute to the Southern Tang Palace. They were very popular among the emperors and concubines, and were very rare in the northwest. Unfortunately, they were too expensive.

No, I can’t afford it.”

Fu Jingtao smiled and said: "Junior sister is naturally beautiful, like a hibiscus emerging from water, why do we need external things to add luster to her beauty?"

Hu Feng rolled her eyes at him: "If a girl practices martial arts and is exposed to the wind and sun all day long, her skin will become rough and ugly, do you understand?"

Fu Jingtao suddenly said: "That makes sense!" He walked up to the stall, scanned it briefly, and asked, "How much does a bottle of 'Herb Fairy Pearl Whitening Cream' cost?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged lady who still had charm. She gave her a flirtatious look and said with a smile: "Young hero is really a passionate seed! The fairy grass pearl whitening cream can whiten your skin and keep you youthful for a long time. This is exactly what you want for a young lady.

A joyful tool for seducing the soul. Today’s discount is huge, one bottle only costs one hundred and fifty taels.”

Fu Jingtao frowned and said, "One hundred and fifty taels? It's too expensive!"

The stall owner explained: "The pearl cream produced by Baizhentang is very popular in Jinling. It is often out of stock and needs to be ordered at a high price. It is then transported to the northwest by water and land. In addition to the unexpected losses on the road, various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are imposed.

, the final cost will double. So in detail, this price is very favorable."

Fu Jingtao said: "I don't have any silver, can you accept the gem?" He took out a huge gem with dazzling red light from his arms.

The stall owner's eyes shone with a hungry green light, and he repeatedly said: "Take it, of course!"

After some haggling, Fu Jingtao exchanged a ruby ​​for ten bottles of pearl cream. Hu Feng looked at him pitifully like a kitten, but was too embarrassed to ask for it. Fu Jingtao generously handed her two bottles of pearl cream.

, smiled and said: "Junior sister Hu, you and I should help each other from now on and stop playing opposite roles, okay?"

Hu Fengmei smiled widely, clutched Pearl Frost tightly, and said: "Okay! Whatever senior brother says, it will be whatever it is!"
