Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Downcast Man (2)_1 Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Downcast Man (2)_1 “So the guest that day was the Prince.” Lin Changshu’s back was drenched with sweat.
Lin Ziyin gave a slight smile, “The Prince is also a human, all we want is to earn silver, what else has to do with us? So you guys don’t need to be so nervous, just do our part. Besides, the Prince will not have anything to do with private kitchen deals in the future, and we won’t either. So, there won’t be many chances to meet.”
“Ziyin is right.” Lin Changshu nodded hard, yeah, just do their part, no matter if he is a prince or not.
“Let’s take the goods and go back.” He cared about the business at home, so he was in a hurry to get back.
“Not in a hurry.” Lin Ziyin replied with a smile, “I want to go to the market and see something. The oil mill still needs some things to buy.”
“Okay, then let’s go and have a look.” When Lin Changshu heard that she wanted to buy something, he immediately agreed.
The three walked forward along the street, with Lin Ziyin walking and looking around.
Since the business was successful, she didn’t feel the burden in her heart. Therefore, she walked all the way with a leisurely mind for shopping. She seemed to be more relaxed.
Wu Dayou and Lin Changshu didn’t know what she wanted to buy and didn’t rush her.
“Buying pastries again?” Seeing Ziyin walk into the pastry shop during her stroll, Lin Changshu quickly pulled her.
“The kids are growing, the grandfather is weak, buying some snacks for them is not a loss, besides, it won’t cost much silver.” Lin Ziyin opened her mouth with a smile, “Shopkeeper, give me two catties of rice candy and two catties of dried fruits.”
“Well, well.” The shopkeeper, seeing the business coming to him, had a face full of smiles, “The young lady is very filial.”
Lin Ziyin smiled faintly and ignored his flattery.
After the three people came out of the shop, “Brother, do you know where to buy hemp rope?” Lin Ziyin asked.
“There is a shop selling it up ahead.” Wu Dayou answered.
“Let’s go and have a look. We need to buy a lot later.” Lin Ziyin said.
“Sure.”
“Discount sale, all are top-quality goods. Don’t miss it.” Suddenly, a shout came from the market ahead.
Lin Ziyin looked up and saw a large group of people all gathered together.
“What is so lively?” Lin Ziyin asked.
“Perhaps there are merchants selling goods at a low price.” Wu Dayou answered quickly, “Some foreign people or voyagers returning from the sea, if they miscalculate, they would sell their goods at a low price.”
“Why don’t they sell it in the city?” Lin Ziyin asked curiously. According to reason, goods from Nanyang and even further places brought by merchants were supposed to be scarce and therefore valuable and easy to sell.
“There is a city law that prohibits selling defective goods in the city. Some merchants even bring stagnated goods to the market to sell. Even though Ding’an Temple market is just a market, many merchants come and go. See how crowded the street is every day? If the goods brought by a merchant catch another merchant’s eyes, the price would not be cheap. There are also some people who come here specifically to buy cheap goods.” Wu Dayou explained in detail.
“Let’s go over and take a look.” Lin Ziyin did not expect that in the feudal ancient times, there was already a so-called “foreign goods market”. Really, there is no merchant that is not cunning!
“The crowd is huge, let’s not squeeze into it.” Lin Changshu hesitated a little.
“It’s fine.” Lin Ziyin replied with a smile.
Seeing her enthusiasm, the few people simply squeezed into the crowd.
Lin Ziyin squeezed to the front and saw a group of merchants standing in line. In front of them were all sorts of goods: cloth with novel patterns, flowers, mirrors, a variety of wool products, and even excellent jewelry.
Upon seeing the goods, Lin Ziyin was somewhat speechless. Such precious gems were actually boldly displayed on the market, and they didn’t even fear being robbed.
Soon, Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou were dazzled by the array of goods.
Lin Ziyin looked for a while, but quickly lost interest. These things, in modern times, what she had seen were much more delicate than the goods in front of her.
Suddenly, she was attracted by something on the side. Sitting there was a slim teenager. In front of him were a few bags of seeds, and in his arms were a few pots of “flowers”. He sat dejectedly among the bearded businessmen.
