Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 56: Genuine goods, purchasing agent
"Treasure Cabinet, genuine goods! Purple gold token, real purchasing agent!"
"Three-day refund, seven-day replacement, fifteen-day warranty, excluding special products..."
"Which panacea is the best? Go to Jubao Cabinet and find Xiao Tang!"
"Martial arts are eternal, and a book will be passed down forever..."
Outside the Jubao Pavilion, shouts were heard one after another.
Wulong Town lacks many things, but it certainly has no shortage of people who come to watch the fun. Hearing the noise coming from Jubao Pavilion, many people have gathered around.
Ban Yilou stood at the door in a daze for a full minute...
He now fully understood what Tang Zheng meant by "business will be very busy"!
Everything in the Jubao Pavilion is a top-notch product. If we talk about the unit price, many families can afford it if they grit their teeth. For example, the cheapest martial arts skill in the Jubao Pavilion costs two taels of purple gold. Not to mention powerful forces like the Tang Family Fort, even ordinary wealthy families in Wulong Town can afford it.
However, although they could afford the price, they could not enter the Jubao Pavilion.
Because the Jubao Pavilion only accepts customers with the Purple Gold Order!
The trading prerequisite of the Purple Gold Order, which was one thousand taels of purple gold, was something that even Tangjiabao couldn't fulfill.
As for Yinlan Villa, if they sold all the properties including the main family, they might be able to make up the difference, but they would only do so if they were all stupid.
Of course, everything Ban Yiluo was thinking about were things of the past.
With Tang Zheng and his "powerful purchasing agent", all of this is no longer a problem!
So, Ban Yilou is not going to welcome a big customer today, he is going to welcome a wave of big customers!
"Wait, wait, wait..." Ban Yilou was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He ran in and caught Tang Zheng, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's because you've been working so hard to run this store for so many years, and you only sell a few things all year round. You're tired of it, old man, and the younger generations of Tangjiabao are hurting in their hearts..."
"Stop!" Ban Yiluo knew that once he started talking nonsense, there would be no way out, so he decisively stopped him from continuing.
Are the younger generations of Tangjiabao feeling sad?
It's simply a lie with open eyes - they have never been to Jubao Pavilion!
If it really hurts my heart, then why do the prices of the items on the flyer make Ban Yilou look so unfamiliar?
A box of "Nine-Turn Pulse Fixing Pills" was sold for three taels of purple gold in the cabinet, yet they dared to list it as ten taels of purple gold on their flyer!
A set of "Bai Luan Sword Technique" was sold in the cabinet for forty-seven taels of purple gold, but their flyer clearly priced it at one hundred taels of purple gold!
Facing Ban Yilou's questioning, Tang Zheng spread his hands and said, "My students' time is very precious. I can't let them run up and down for nothing."
"Is it necessary to raise the price so much?"
"Okay, I have integer obsession!" Tang Zheng continued to spread his hands.
"..."Ban Yiluo really wanted to be angry, but the most annoying thing was that he didn't even know what he should be angry about!
Whether it was the sales of Jubao Pavilion or his own commission, he could not find any reason to be angry.
Therefore, this feeling that was difficult to describe made him even angrier!
Although from the perspective of the rules, there is nothing wrong with Tang Zheng's approach, Jubao Pavilion only recognizes cards and not people.
However, anyone who can get the Purple Gold Order is a respectable person. Who would act as recklessly as Tang Zheng?
"Okay, leave it to them. I guarantee that you will earn enough from the commission to live comfortably." Tang Zheng knocked on the counter. "Did you promise to teach me casting?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'm too busy to teach you how to cast?" Ban Yiluo asked.
"It's okay. You can hire a helper. The salary won't be much, just one purple gold coin a day. You can pick any one you like... How about that weird kid in black at the door?"
"One purple gold Tongbao a day, why don't you go and grab it!" Ban Yilou finally found the point of anger.
…
The commotion at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion caused the most damage to Yinlan Villa.
They had no idea what kind of relationship Tangjiabao had with Zijin City that they could actually purchase things from Jubao Pavilion . They urgently mobilized people to find various servants in Tangjiabao to inquire about the situation. However, the people in Tangjiabao themselves didn't know what was going on, so they were naturally embarrassed and failed to find out the truth.
All the businesses on West Street have moved.
The line of horse-drawn carriages from Tangjiabao driving into West Street was already very eye-catching.
Many merchants thought that they were going to have a big fight with Yinlan Villa, and were preparing to wait and see who would be the final winner. Of course, they were looking forward to a big fight, and it would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, so that they could occupy the shop and no one else would recognize it.
Who would have thought that the carriage from Tangjiabao would stop in front of the gate of Jubao Pavilion!
Then, those strange flyers began to be distributed to them...
More and more people gathered around, but the first person to make a purchase never showed up.
"A real purchasing agent? Is that true? Don't spend a lot of money and end up buying fakes?"
"Of course, the reputation of Jubao Pavilion is beyond doubt, but what about the reputation of Tangjiabao..."
"That's right! If you buy genuine goods, who would know if they were replaced with other bags?"
"The cabinet's panacea can save people, but switching it up could kill people!"
There are too many scams of all kinds in Wulong Town.
Even if the carriage parked here was from Tangjiabao, even if this was in front of the entrance to Jubao Pavilion, they could not believe it easily.
However, there are many people who are eager to make a move...
They are all waiting for the first person to come along and try.
Only after they have seen it will they take action.
"Don't look at it. We won't be able to open the shop for a while." Seeing that Ban Yilou was always looking outside, Tang Zheng sat directly inside his counter. "This is a legitimate business. I won't cheat anyone. I don't have any helpers..."
"You sell at more than double the price, and you still say it's a legitimate business and honest?" Ban Yilou rolled his eyes.
"I clearly mark the prices and only guarantee genuine products. Have I ever mentioned 'good quality and low price'?" Tang Zheng rolled his eyes at him.
Ban Yiluo looked outside again and turned back to look at him several times.
Tang Zheng smiled: "What's wrong?"
"You're being too high-profile."
"Yeah?"
"And it happened so suddenly and in a high-profile way..." Ban Yiluo said.
Tang Zheng glanced at the servants of Yinlan Mountain Villa who were anxious as if they were ants on the hot pot outside, and said with a smile: "You can make a fortune by keeping silent, but you can't catch big fish by keeping silent!"
Ban Yiluo followed his gaze, but all he saw was the hawking of the children from Tangjiabao.
He lowered his head and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he waved his hand and took out the two books: "I won't talk to you anymore. Have you brought all the materials? Let's start with the most basic material processing!"
"Okay." Tang Zheng certainly had no objection.
Ban Yiluo said this and opened the first book.
There was no title to the book, and everything inside was handwritten, but unlike the martial arts, there were no star power fluctuations.
Because this is not a martial art, it's just a casting notebook.
"Material processing is the first and most critical step in casting. In Bailianfang, an apprentice starts learning casting, and it takes three whole years to learn just this step..." Ban Yiluo began to talk about it while looking at the casting notes.
The so-called material processing does not mean to forge it immediately, but just to process the material into the most suitable form for forging.
For example, if the water in Tianchi Cold Pond is too clear and has poor adhesion, you must first use star power to make it thicker so that it is easier to use.
For example, colorful silk is very fragile and must be pulled repeatedly with delicate star force like making ramen. After its toughness is strengthened, it will not break easily when used.
For example, moonstone is hard in texture and needs to be softened before it can be forged.
“Look, the colorful silk should be like this…” Ban Yiluo condensed a trace of star power and extended it into his hand. The colorful silk in his palm was floating in the air, and the bright colors kept fluttering with the flow of his star power.
Ban Yiluo demonstrated very slowly.
Demonstrate and explain at the same time.
"Oh..." After Tang Zheng read it once, he immediately used his star power to process it.
call……
The purple and gold constellation rises in the wind.
In the first life palace, the half-black and half-white stars slowly began to rotate.
"Be careful , be careful. No one has ever succeeded in processing colorful silk for the first time..." Ban Yilou kept reminding.
"Yeah." Tang Zheng nodded.
"Pull, loosen, try again... No, it's too fast! Go slower... Yes, yes, yes, that's it... Be careful, be more careful... Hey, this luster... Yes, yes, yes, okay... It worked! What? It actually worked!"
In just one short sentence, Ban Yiluo's tone changed several times.
After more than a dozen times of loosening and tightening, the colorful silk in Tang Zheng's hands gradually changed from dull and dusty to shiny and bright!
Ban Yiluo watched Tang Zheng put down the silk that was emitting colorful luster in the sun, and raised his head to look at Tang Zheng as if he was looking at a monster.
