"Carriage? Let me see? "
Liao Xifan grabbed the newspaper and quickly looked at where Zhang was pointing. After a while, he excitedly slapped his thigh and shouted,
"Haha! That's the carriage! That's the carriage! I didn't expect it to be on sale after so long! No way! Brother Zhang, you can eat slowly here. I have to go to the Curious Pavilion to line up now! "
"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Liao, wait! Why do you sound like you want to buy that carriage? "
Zhang reached out to stop him and said in disbelief.
In his opinion, a carriage selling for five to six hundred strings of coins was already unbelievable. But this time, the Curious Pavilion was selling it for nine hundred and ninety-nine strings of coins. That was close to a thousand strings of coins. Were they crazy about money? Could it be that the carriage was made of gold?
But what he didn't expect was that Liao Xifan actually wanted to buy such an expensive carriage. Moreover, it looked like he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get it. This made him doubt his life. Could it be that after not seeing him for a few days, his good friend had become so rich? A thousand strings of coins wasn't money anymore?
"That's right! If I can't get such a good carriage, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! "
Liao Xifan said eagerly.
"But this carriage is selling for nine hundred and ninety-nine strings of coins. Brother Liao, don't you think it's expensive?"
"Hey! I don't have time to explain it to you now. Jingyang, if you trust me, come with me to the Curious Pavilion now. You'll know if it's worth this money or not! "
Liao Xifan said hurriedly. He quickly took out a few copper coins and threw them on the table, saying, "Shopkeeper, here's the money! Jingyang, let's go! "
"Oh, oh!"
Zhang Jingyang reacted and ran out with Liao Xifan. He got into the same carriage that Liao Xifan had taken this morning and hurried to the Curious Pavilion in the East Market.
…
"Brother Liao, it seems like you've seen the carriage from the Curious Pavilion before!"
In the carriage.
Zhang Jingyang thought seriously and suddenly asked.
"Yes, I've seen it before! When this carriage first appeared, this Liao was fortunate enough to see it. At that time, Lord Li was the first to use this carriage. Later on, when I passed by the gate of Lord Jue's residence, I also happened to see Lord Jue riding this carriage back to his residence several times. This kind of carriage looks huge from the outside, but it is not cumbersome. A horse can easily pull it, and it moves very smoothly! "
"This Liao has long coveted this sort of carriage, but after asking around, I was unable to find a place that sold it. Moreover, it is said that in all of the Great Tang, only Lord Duke Li, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness King of Wei, Duke of Lu, Duke of Yi, General Yuchi, and General Niu have this sort of carriage. Haha! I didn't expect that after waiting for so long, I would finally get it. If I don't hurry up and buy it, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life? "
Zhang Jingyang was enlightened when he heard this, but he still had some doubts, so he asked, "Brother Liao, this carriage is so expensive. There must be very few people who would buy it! You don't have to be so anxious! "
"Heh! Jingyang, if you think about it carefully, you won't say that! "
Liao Xifan shook his head and anxiously looked out of the window, saying, "It has been almost a month since this Liao first saw this type of carriage. What does this mean? It means that this type of carriage is not easy to manufacture, so I am not surprised that it is so expensive now! "
"Also, in this month, whenever Lord Duke Li went out, he would always ride in this type of carriage. In the entire Great Tang, in this Liao's opinion, the person who knows how to enjoy life the most is definitely Lord Duke! If this old man is so fond of this type of carriage, then there is no need to doubt the excellence of this carriage! "
"Such a superior and difficult carriage to mass produce, if this Liao doesn't hurry up and snatch it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get it! After all, there are many people in Chang 'an who can take out 999 strings of coins, and there are even more people with foresight! "
Perhaps even Li Zexuan himself did not expect that he would be treated as an "old man" by successful businessmen like Liao Xifan. However, from the few businesses that Li Zexuan did in Chang 'an, all of them had extremely high returns. He indeed had the qualifications to be a "role model" for these businessmen!
Hearing this, Zhang Jingyang's eyebrows twitched. He slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Brother Liao, for your advice. After hearing what you said, I am also very curious about this carriage! I must take a good look at it later! "
"You can take a look at it, but don't fight with me!"
Liao Xifan suddenly said with a vigilant look.
Zhang Jingyang was speechless. Could it be that this friendship could not be compared to a carriage? How heart-wrenching ~!
…
On the other side, in the East Market.
Strange Culture and Strange Taste Pavilion, which had been quiet for a long time, became popular again today.
These two shops had been the hot topic of Chang 'an before. This time, after Datang Daily's publicity, it was as if a cigarette butt had been thrown into a barrel of explosives. The effect of gathering popularity immediately exploded.
Even before opening time, there was already a long line in front of the two stores. There were fewer people in front of the Odd Taste Pavilion. After all, carriages were still considered a luxury item for the people of Great Tang. On the other hand, there was a sea of people in front of the Odd Taste Pavilion, and there were several long lines.
The people in the queue gathered in twos and threes, pointing at the advertisements in the newspapers and discussing with each other. For a moment, it was very lively!
"Haha! Fortunately, fortunately! Fortunately, we are not too late, and we have membership cards, so we can line up at the member's channel! This way, there will definitely be a carriage for me later! "
In front of Strange Taste Pavilion, Liao Xifan and Zhang Jingyang were at the front of the queue and said happily.
There were only two people in front of him, so logically speaking, they would definitely be able to buy the first batch of carriages. Fortunately, there were no traffic lights or traffic jams in this era. Otherwise, the two of them would have been dead by now!
Although there were not as many people buying carriages as there were people buying Tang Dictionary, at a glance, there were at least seventy to eighty people lining up to buy carriages in front of Strange Taste Pavilion. Chang 'an had never lacked rich people, and even more so, people with foresight.
"Brother Liao, if I didn't see wrongly, you took out an orange membership card just now!"
Zhang Jingyang's face was full of shock.
"Yes! If we didn't have a membership card, we would still be lining up on the other side! "
Liao Xifan did not feel that something was wrong at all, and he answered casually.
"But … but … but a card costs a hundred strings of coins, isn't that a bit expensive?"
"It's not expensive at all! For us, it's totally worth it! Think about it, an orange membership card only costs a hundred strings of coins, but with this card, not only can we save time in the member's channel, we can also get a thirty percent discount on all the goods in Strange Taste Pavilion. Just this time, we can save nearly three hundred strings of coins by buying a carriage. Do you think this membership card is worth it? Is it expensive? "
Liao Xifan slowly analyzed.
