"How much is a bottle of your fragrance dew?"

The man didn't answer directly, he was silent for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his palm: "Fifty copper coins!"

Zhang Fangyuan didn't comment when he heard the words, but just looked down at the man who was not tall.

He remembered that this fragrance dew caused a big wave in Siyang City back then, but it was a small bottle not much bigger than a thumb's head and it was even sold for tens of thousands copper coins when the the fragrance dew was in its heyday. Today, he heard that this man only asked for fifty copper coins. For a while, he felt like a dream, and also thought it was very funny.

When he was working for people in the city in the past, the young master, his boss used to spend a lot of money to get a bottle of rose water for a girl he fancied.

When the rose water first arrived in the market, no one cared about it, but when it suddenly became famous, it was out of stock. The reason was that the old man who made the fragrance dew disappeared after making a batch of fragrance dew. If the stock was out of stock, it made the fragrance dew became more valuable and had no market.

It was no wonder people fought over it fiercely, he had seen this thing in Yunliang Pavilion back then, it was packed in a delicate little glass bottle, even if it was covered with a lid and placed in the room, one could smell its fragrance when entering. And it was not that this man was bragging, the fragrance really wouldn't dissipate even after a half moon it was dripped on the clothes, the more time passed, the more elegant and fragrant it became.

It was only later that he heard that the fragrance dew was extracted from rose seeds by an old Taoist. Later, the people in the spice workshop studied the key to make it. When the fragrance dew showed up again in the market, the craze gradually dissipated, and it was no longer so magical.

But... before the rose water went mad in the city, he was the one who bumped into it first.

He couldn't help laughing secretly, If this money was not earned, who would earn it??

"I'm a big man, you let me use this? Not to mention that a man will lose his vigor when he uses it. When you go home and let your wife smell it, she will think that there is someone outside. Won't it just to add more troubles?"

The man's back felt cold from being stared at by Zhang Fangyuan, but he was relieved to hear this, and then he immediately said: "

Even if you don't use it myself, it will be a good thing to buy a bottle for your wife, such a good thing is rare."

"Fifty copper coins!? Why don't you go grab it? You think that since I’m a man and not very proficient in spices and you just ask for high price. The spices in the shops in the city are usually only twenty or thirty copper coins. Do you want to cheat people?"

The man said. : "But this is a good product! How can it be compared with those common things."

Zhang Fangyuan was not in hurry: "Then tell me which spice industry it’s from, and which master it’s from, or someone else who already used it. Is it a good thing when you say it with your mouth? Then if I say that my tea shed is a golden signboard, the best taste in the world, will you believe it without a proof?”

The man who claimed himself to be articulate was also speechless at this time.

"It's not easy for you to carry so many things, how many do you have in total?"

"There must be about thirty bottles."

Zhang Fangyuan took a look, and put them neatly in a row. Fearing that it would be damaged by the bumps, two pieces of cloth were laid.

"You sell them all to me, twenty copper coins for a bottle."

The man's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he was happy to sell them all, but he couldn't help raised his neck again: "Since the elder brother thinks it's not good, why do you want to buy them all?"

Zhang Fangyuan snorted lightly: "I have a way in the city. I will send all these things away, and one of them can earn a few more copper coins. I still have a tea shed for business but who doesn’t want to earn more money?"

The man felt that Zhang Fangyuan's words were straightforward, but he was still unwilling: " Why don't I just sell it in the city, how does elder brother know that I have no way. "

Zhang Fangyuan said: "

If you have the skills to grab someone and ask them to buy your goods, then I have nothing to say about your skills. If you don't sell your goods to me, then I won't sell them. You can sell your goods in the city yourself. If they ask you three questions and you don’t know how to answer it or you can’t answer anything. Let’s see if those spice shops will buy your goods. If you go to the street to sell your goods, let’s see if those girls from wealthy families who are willing to spend fifty copper coins on incense will buy things from an unknown peddler like you. "

After saying that, Zhang Fangyuan raised his foot and went back to the table to continue cracking melon seeds.

The man was a bit clever, but after hearing Zhang Fangyuan's words, he felt very reasonable. After all, spices were not like fruits and vegetables, anyone could  buy them. Spices were sold at a high price, but those who could afford them wouldn’t buy them from him. If they were sold at spice shops, the price would probably be lowered.

Zhang Fangyuan said: "I sincerely buy and sell with you, but you insist on three pushes and four obstacles, what else can I say?. Forget it, think about it carefully, you have so many things, and you will have a lot of money when you sell them together. My fulang is very strict with money, and it will be bad luck if I lose money. "

"Look at what you're talking about, big brother, for a man who is wise and powerful like you, it's your fulang who should listen to you. Don't use this to deceive this little brother."

Zhang Fangyuan raised his feet, he threw a melon seed into his mouth, he seemed to be pleasedby what he said: "Let me ask you, tell me honestly where these things come from. The business is still easy to talk about. The most important thing is to be honest. Everyone knows something in their hearts."

The man said: "Brother, you can rest assured that these good things of mine are definitely not stolen and snatched, absolutely clean. There is an old man next to my house, who always likes to tinker and refine things. This fragrance dew was made by him. When he want to go back to Dashi Kingdom. I scraped together some travel expenses for him. So he left these fragrance dew to me as a favor."

Zhang Fangyuan put down his teacup, half-believing: " Then you will make a lot of money if I buy it twenty copper coins for a bottle."

"I'm wronged, I gave him hundreds of copper coins for the travel expenses."

Zhang Fangyuan didn't believe that people who were not relatives or for some reasons would give people so much for travel expenses, and it was hundreds of copper coins.

But he didn't want to delve into it, so he just said, "Then are you going to sell it or not?"
