In the restaurant.
Other people were talking loudly and even discussing 'Teng Qingshan', but Teng Qingshan himself was eating quickly. Not long after, Teng Qingshan placed his chopsticks on the table.
"Hei Zi, I'm going to the tea house. You eat slowly." Teng Qingshan stood up.
"The tea house will at least close at night. Qin, why are you in such a hurry?" Hei Zi also stood up with a smile to send him off. Seeing Teng Qingshan carrying a box, he couldn't help but say attentively, "Qin, I'll help you look after this small box of clothes. Isn't it tiring to carry a box to the tea house? "
Teng Qingshan smiled mysteriously, "I can't let this box leave my body. I won't be at ease if someone else carries it."
"Oh." Hei Zi immediately understood.
It seemed that Teng Qingshan's money was hidden in the box.
… …
Teng Qingshan wore a felt hat and a thick cotton robe. A curved blade hung at his waist. His body was sturdy and his skin was dark. Looking at his dressing, one could tell that he was a resident of Youyan. Youyan and Youyan were bitter cold places. The people were extremely fierce. Because of the long period of fighting and killing with the many tribes on the prairie, the fierce people were created. This caused the people of Youyan to be very forthright. At the same time, if there was a disagreement, blood would be spilled!
Therefore, in the land of the Nine Regions, outsiders were generally not willing to provoke the people of Youyan.
This also caused some merchants, although they were not from Youyan, to deliberately dress up as people of Youyan. At least, it could scare people.
"Hoo, hoo ~ ~"
The cold wind was blowing.
But there were many people on the streets of Hua City. Teng Qingshan carried the box and walked leisurely. At this moment, it was dinner time. There were many people who wanted to enter the restaurant to eat.
"Second sister, is that Teng Qingshan really as handsome as you said?"
"Little sister, you don't believe me? Although I am an outer disciple. But that time, I also went to watch the public competition between Commander Teng and Commander Zang Feng. Commander Teng … tsk tsk, he is not ugly like some martial artists. On the contrary, he is very handsome. However, that spear technique was really …! With a few consecutive spears, Commander Zang Feng was thrown off the stage. In the Gui Yuan Sect, there were many female disciples who wanted to marry Commander Teng. However, it won't be our turn. "
A voice came from the side.
Teng Qingshan looked to the side and saw two men and two women walking in the same direction as him. The one who spoke was a girl wearing a red fur coat. "Is she from the Gui Yuan Sect?"
"Xiaolian. That Teng Qingshan was now being hunted by the whole world like a stray dog. You're still thinking about that Teng Qingshan? "Behind him, a young man in embroidered clothes smiled lightly.
"What are you talking about?" The girl wearing the red fur coat frowned. "Commander Teng is being pursued by the entire Qing Hu Island! This is because many Law Enforcing Elders of Qing Hu Island died in the hands of Commander Teng … … Qing Hu Island and the Gui Yuan Sect have always been enemies. By doing so, Commander Teng had made a great contribution! Moreover, in the whole world, how many people are worthy of Qing Hu Island doing this? Young Master Hua, if you could achieve ten percent of Commander Teng's achievements, I would even agree to be your concubine, let alone marry you. If you don't have the ability, don't talk about this. "
The other man with thick eyebrows and big eyes laughed. "Brother Hua, you've suffered a setback, haven't you? Xiaolian and the others from the Gui Yuan Sect hate to hear bad things about Teng Qingshan. "
The young man in embroidered clothes could only smile bitterly and apologize. "Xiaolian, I was wrong. Alright! Ten percent? I'll be satisfied if I can reach the innate realm in this life. "
Soon, the two men and two women entered a big restaurant.
Teng Qingshan was moved when he heard this. "At least the disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect did not treat me as a traitor!"
In this day and age, no one was stupid.
From many things, everyone could guess many things. In the Gui Yuan Sect, not only was Teng Qingshan not a traitor, but many disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect admired and respected Teng Qingshan even more.
… …
After walking for a while, Teng Qingshan arrived at Qing Yang Tea House.
The four words "Qing Yang Tea House" were hung in front of the entrance of the tea house. There were four guards standing at the entrance of the tea house. Teng Qingshan directly walked over.
One of the guards stretched out his hand and stopped him. "Our Qing Yang Tea House does not sell tea. If you want to buy tea leaves, go to the tea shop in front. "
"I am a merchant from Yanzhou." Teng Qingshan grinned, revealing his white teeth. The Youyan accent made the guard put down his hand and smiled. "So you are from Yanzhou, thousands of miles away. Our Qing Yang Tea House has many good tea bricks. Please, please."
The guard immediately led the way.
Coming from the northernmost Yanzhou, it must be a big business. No one would travel twenty thousand miles and only buy a small amount of goods.
This kind of large tea house usually only did large-scale sales.
"Master Zhou, this is a merchant from Yanzhou." The guard led Teng Qingshan to a large hall. In the hall, there was an old man wearing a luxurious black fur coat coming over. He smiled and clasped his hands together. "My surname is Zhou, I wonder who this brother is?"
"Qin, Qin Wei." Teng Qingshan said with a Youyan accent.
In truth, the reason why Teng Qingshan could easily speak with a Youyan accent was because … this Youyan accent, in reality, was similar to the accent of the North East region of China. As an assassin, this accent had undergone training. So … right now, it was extremely easy for Teng Qingshan to disguise himself.
"Brother Qin, please sit." Master Zhou and Teng Qingshan sat down together. At this time, a servant came over with a tray, placing two cups of tea in front of Teng Qingshan and Master Zhou.
"Drink some tea." Master Zhou said with a faint smile.
Teng Qingshan also picked it up, taking a small sip. "The fragrance lingers on the lips, the colour is bright red and yellow, this is a good tea."
"Brother Qin, you are also skilled in this." Master Zhou said with a smile.
"I'm just trying to make a living. If I don't know this, how can I sell? Master Zhou, I wonder what kind of tea bricks your Qingliang Tea House has? "Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
"Oh, I wonder, what grade does brother Qin want?" Master Zhou's expression became serious. "Our Qingliang Tea House mainly has five grades of tea bricks. The price of each grade is very different. For example, the lowest grade is fifth grade, which is made from waste tea roots compressed at high temperatures. The tea bricks are very cheap, and some commoners often drink them. The higher the grade, the higher the price. For example, third grade tea bricks, one jin of tea bricks costs around five or six taels of silver. For second grade tea bricks, one jin of tea bricks costs around twelve or thirteen taels of silver. Because of the different types, there are slight differences! As for the highest grade, first grade tea bricks, one jin of tea bricks costs tens of taels of silver. "
Hearing this, Teng Qingshan exclaimed in admiration, "This first grade tea brick is worth more than silver."
One jin of first grade tea bricks, for example, fifty taels of silver would be five jin of silver!
"The most expensive tea bricks cost nearly a hundred taels of silver per jin. If it's some specially made tea leaves, they are even more expensive than gold." Master Zhou said with a smile, "However, the quantity of those tea leaves is very small. Our tea house only gets a small amount every year. Most of the best tea leaves are reserved by some big shots."
Teng Qingshan nodded with a smile.
There are some extremely precious tea leaves that cost ten taels of gold for just one tael of tea leaves! However, it is impossible to compress tea leaves of that grade into tea bricks.
"Second grade tea bricks!" Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "In the prairie tribes, second grade tea bricks are already very good for them … If there are too many goods, it will be troublesome to transport them." Buying cheap tea bricks would be troublesome to transport. Therefore, those traveling alone would usually buy the more expensive tea bricks.
"Oh, Brother Qin, are you planning to sell them to the prairie?" Master Zhou was somewhat surprised, "That place is very chaotic."
"It's always a matter of putting your head on your belt to make money." Teng Qingshan said with a faint smile, "How many second grade tea bricks do you have?"
"I have three kinds of second grade tea bricks in stock. If you want to sell them to the prairie, with the taste of the prairie people, I think you should choose the second grade 'purple ivory tea brick'! The prairie people love this kind of 'purple ivory tea brick' the most. "Master Zhou sincerely suggested.
Teng Qingshan nodded, "Hmm, what price can you give me for this purple ivory tea brick? The kind that costs one jin. "
"One jin, thirteen taels of silver!" Master Zhou said.
"Master Zhou, the ordinary tea shops outside are not much more expensive than what you said. Give me a more honest price!" Teng Qingshan laughed, "Moreover, I want to buy more goods. If there's money, we can all earn together."
"How much do you want to buy?" Master Zhou asked.
"Eight hundred bricks!" Teng Qingshan said.
Master Zhou's eyes lit up. This was a big business. Ordinary people could only earn ten to twenty taels of silver a year. One jin of tea bricks cost thirteen taels of silver. It was obvious that only the rich could enjoy it. And eight hundred revolutions … … was indeed a big business.
"What price do you want?" Master Zhou asked.
Teng Qingshan said very straightforwardly, "Ten taels of silver for one brick!"
"This, is too low." Master Zhou hastily said.
Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "Master Zhou, this is not low. Even if the locals get the goods here, I estimate that it will only be slightly more expensive than mine. But I am a second grade good that buys eight hundred bricks in one go! I risked my life on this journey to the prairie. You should also help me a little. I also want to buy a Scarlet Flame Horse from you for one thousand taels of silver! Is that feasible? "
Master Zhou thought for a moment and then smiled, "Brother Qin, alright. Eight hundred bricks of second grade goods and a Scarlet Flame Horse. A total of nine thousand taels of silver! "
Actually, Master Zhou was a bit hesitant at the price of ten taels of silver for one brick. But Teng Qingshan also bought a Scarlet Flame Horse. From the Scarlet Flame Horse, they could earn two to three hundred taels of silver. Therefore, he agreed and nodded his head.
… …
Inside the storeroom, two large boxes were placed there with their lids open.
Master Zhou, Teng Qingshan, and many other people from the teahouse were here.
Teng Qingshan opened the small box in his hand. Inside the box were some clothes and other ordinary items. Teng Qingshan took out some banknotes from the pocket of his clothes and some banknotes from his bosom. Master Zhou was not surprised at all. There were too many ways for a businessman to hide banknotes.
"Put my suitcase on the side of the big box." Teng Qingshan placed the small box vertically on the side of the big box. "Alright, everyone put the tea bricks. In the big box on the left, put less tea bricks so that I can carry my suitcase in the future. In the big box on the right, put more tea bricks. "
"Yes."
The people from the teahouse immediately began to put the tea bricks into the big box. Teng Qingshan casually took out a brick, opened the wrapped paper, and cut out a bit of tea powder.
"This purple ivory tea brick is definitely a good tea." Master Zhou quickly helped to make the tea.
After making a cup, Teng Qingshan tasted it and nodded his head in satisfaction.
To disguise himself as a businessman, he naturally had to act like one from the beginning to the end.
