Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 40: Only recognize the card, not the person
That shelf was filled with stuffed dolls, sugar figures and the like, each one cuter than the other, and there was everything to eat, use and play with.
When Tang Zheng came yesterday, he clearly hadn't seen it yet.
He accompanied Meng Fenghua and her sister to visit the entire East Street, but had never seen such exquisite toys and snacks!
Of course, if it were just this, it would not be enough to attract Tang Zheng's attention.
What really caught his attention was that the medicinal fragrance emitted by the row of sugar figures at the front of the shelf was very similar to that of the "Ningshen Pills" on the third row of shelves in Jubao Pavilion!
At his feet was a rag doll-like object with the same lines on its body as the formation that assisted in cultivation on the bracelet that Grandpa Ban had repaired yesterday.
"Well, the things on this shelf are all made by a friend of mine. They are things for entertaining children." Ban Yilou waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention that friend.
To be honest, the appearance of these things in the magnificent Jubao Pavilion is really cheap!
But, that was Ban Yilou's friend who had known each other for a lifetime...
It was impossible to refuse his request.
"If you want to laugh, laugh quickly. After you're done laughing, continue to make up your order!" Ban Yilou said unhappily.
However, Tang Zheng didn't smile at all, and pointed at the sugar man: "How much?"
Ban Yilou was stunned: "Eighty taels of silver!"
Tang Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "Made with the Soul-Concentrating Pill?"
"Yeah, I used some."
"A mind-calming pill with the same medicinal strength only sells for twenty-five taels of silver?"
"Oh." Ban Yiluo nodded.
In fact, the things his friends asked him to sell were not just one or two items.
From weapons and jewelry at the beginning to clothes, shoes and socks later, not a single one was sold!
The same thing happened today. When Ban Yiluo put these toys and snacks on the shelves, he had no intention of selling them.
However, considering the past relationship when the three of them begged together, he still placed them on the most conspicuous shelf.
Tang Zheng took the candy man and licked it.
Ban Yilou didn't stop him. He simply gave it as a gift and paid for it himself.
"Yeah, it's very sweet, much better than the Concentration Pill." Tang Zheng nodded and pointed to a plush puppy on the top shelf, "What about that one?"
"Two taels of purple gold!" Ban Yilou was almost embarrassed to make an offer.
It’s not like there are no toy shops in Wulong Town, but even the more exquisite toys are mostly priced in copper coins, and few are even sold for one or two taels of silver...
But he had a toy here, but he asked for two taels of purple gold!
"Is that the most expensive one?" Tang Zheng asked.
"That one?" Ban Yilou looked up and down, "Yes, this is it. So you just want to pick the most expensive one?"
"No." Tang Zheng shook his head, pointed at the shelf, and scanned it, "I want them all!"
"..."Ban Yiluo just stood there in a daze.
He never sold a single thing of his friend's!
I didn’t expect that these were all sold out after only being on display for three hours!
Ban Yiluo's eyes suddenly became a little wet.
"What's wrong?" Tang Zheng was still walking around inside, but he really couldn't pick out anything good.
"Nothing." Ban Yilou turned his back and wiped his eyes. "I...I'll put it together for you."
After Mr. Ban had finished packing the things, he asked, "Is that enough?"
Ban Yilou didn't know what expression to use to face him: "There is still a shortfall of forty-five taels."
"You can't even make concessions for just forty-five taels?"
"Rules are rules." Mr. Ban looked away.
"Old stubborn!" Tang Zheng rolled his eyes.
So, in order to make up the forty-five taels, Tang Zheng directly asked for fifteen shopping bags.
Ban Yilou almost jumped up and cursed: "Why did you buy so many shopping bags?"
What is the most cost-effective item in his Treasure Pavilion? It must be the storage bag, or the "shopping bag" in Tang Zheng's mouth. A large storage bag costs as much as three purple gold coins, and it can only be used a few times!
"It's for carrying money." Tang Zheng said as a matter of course: "Aren't you tired of carrying it?"
"..." Ban Yilou was about to faint, "Are you fucking sick? Do you need a storage bag to carry the money?"
The way he looked at Tang Zheng was the same way Tang Zheng looked at those people who carried sacks of money in his previous life.
Tang Zheng shrugged: "No?"
Shopping bags are great!
Unlike his old friend the purple gold belt, which is like a password box and it is so difficult to access it every time!
In the future, I don’t know when I will be able to store and withdraw money freely in the purple gold belt. I can prepare more shopping bags to save worry and effort, and make life easy and enjoyable.
"Okay, is that enough?" Tang Zheng stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Well! Wait a moment!" Ban Yiluo solemnly took out a necklace from his collar.
A transaction of one thousand taels of purple gold is already a sufficient amount.
I saw the stars rising behind Ban Yiluo, and the strong star power covered the necklace bit by bit.
The necklace slowly turned into light blue, and suddenly a brilliant colorful light flashed!
Then, a brightly colored token appeared in Ban Yiluo's hand.
The token was in the shape of a teardrop, and was decorated with a delicate little string...
Although it is smaller than the necklace on Ban Yilou's neck, the shape is the same.
Tang Zheng held his breath and looked at the small necklace-like token in his hand: "Is this the Purple Gold Token of Jubao Pavilion?"
"It's not the Purple Gold Order of Jubao Pavilion." Ban Yilou corrected: "This is the Purple Gold Order of Purple Gold City!"
"What's the difference ?"
"The business of Purple Gold City is all over the world, and Jubao Pavilion is not the only industry..."
"Oh..." Tang Zheng took the Purple Gold Order and rubbed it several times.
Ban Yiluo also knew how valuable this thing was, so he let Tang Zheng caress it without disturbing him.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng suddenly raised his head and asked: "What if it falls?"
Ban Yilou's face turned green and he immediately wanted to strangle Tang Zheng to death!
The Purple Gold Token is such a valuable item, who wouldn't treasure it and keep it with great care? How could anyone just throw it away?
"If it falls off, trade it for another thousand taels of purple gold and I'll give you another one!" Ban Yilou almost shouted in reply.
"Uh... can't you make up for it?"
"So far, I haven't heard of anyone losing their Purple Gold Token!"
"But what if it falls?"
"There's no chance of that happening!"
"What about the person who picked it up ?"
"If you pick it up, you can use it!"
"Oh my god, your membership system is too unscientific." Tang Zheng couldn't understand how Purple Gold City could do such a big business. "It's ok to not have membership grading, but you actually recognize the card instead of the person?"
However, Tang Zheng thought about it and it seemed understandable.
In Xingyao Continent, even connecting identity cards to the Internet requires the use of the most advanced casting technology!
Unless Zi Jin City also seeks help from Bai Lian Fang and creates something like a "Red Dust Book" for them, it will be really difficult to store and verify all customer information.
Unfortunately, seeing Ban Yilou's angry attitude when he mentioned Bai Lian Fang, we know that although the two have a lot of cooperation, their relationship may not be very good in private. For such a huge project like "Red Dust Book", Bai Lian Fang may not give face to Zi Jin City.
"We don't need you to teach us how to do business in Jubao Pavilion!" Mr. Ban blew his beard.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome." Tang Zheng was too lazy to argue with him, "I want to go to the cabinet!"
"No problem, please show me your purple gold order!"
"It's not what you just gave me..."
"Show it, too!"
"..." Tang Zheng was completely convinced by this stubborn old man and could only take out the purple gold order that he had just hung around his neck and show it to him.
"Well, the Purple Gold Order has been confirmed to be correct. Follow me." Ban Yiluo tapped a mechanism under the counter and directly closed the door of Jubao Pavilion.
…
As soon as the door of Jubao Pavilion was closed, the twinkling lights outside were blocked out.
The only light left in the entire store was the night pearl.
And Ban Yiluo turned the wrench again, and all the lampshades of the night pearls closed!
In the pitch-black Treasure Pavilion, only a ray of light appeared...
A door!
Tang Zheng's eyes widened...
He walked around the Jubao Pavilion at least twenty times!
But he never discovered that there was a door between the two pillars in the middle of the Treasure Pavilion!
"Welcome to the Jubao Pavilion cabinet..." Even though Mr. Ban was old, he still bowed at the door.
The two men walked into the inner cabinet of Jubao Pavilion.
If the decoration style of the outer cabinet of Jubao Pavilion is like a luxury store, then the inner cabinet of Jubao Pavilion is more like a library, with natural light and walnut shelves that look neat and simple.
Tang Zheng first found the purple gold flower water. There were only ten bottles in total, and each was diluted fifty times.
Even if the purple gold flower water is diluted like this, one bottle still costs five taels of purple gold!
Tang Zheng didn't waste any time and bought them all.
He turned his head and saw that opposite the purple gold flower water, there was a whole row of shelves ten people high, all filled with books!
Tang Zheng tilted his head back, and his neck became sore.
He pointed at the shelves and asked, "Martial arts?"
"Yes, they are all martial arts!" Mr. Ban nodded.
