Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

As Yan Changqing stepped forward, some of the Great Shangjias who had dealt with him before nodded slightly towards Yan Changqing, but they were not as respectful as the shopkeeper next to Yan Changqing.

After all, the Great Shangjia who can reach their level usually have one or more important ministers standing behind them indirectly or directly.

In other words, they themselves are the white gloves of the family business behind some important officials!

Yan Changqing's status as a mere ninth-grade bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is not worth bowing to.

Even if Yan Changqing hadn't been extremely generous with his actions in the past, they wouldn't even have said hello with a nod.

Soon after Yan Changqing sat down on the second floor, the sound of shouting came again from the bottom of the first floor. Before he saw the person coming, he heard an arrogant and domineering voice.

"Is this what small trade fair you are talking about?!!"

"Why do you look so shabby?!!"

“Can you really buy rare treasures here?!”

"If you dare to lie to me, I will stop your business from opening in Yingtian Mansion!!!"

A young man in his twenties, with a pale face and light steps, said with an impatient look on his face, holding a charming and smiling Meiji in his arms.

"Master Hu, please rest assured, those sitting here are famous Great Shangjia from all over the country."

“Not only did goods flow through the Ming Dynasty, but also goods flowed through overseas countries!”

“You can definitely find rare treasures that suit your taste here!”

The middle-aged shopkeeper who was following the young master comforted him very humbly.

"Humph, that's the best!"

The young master snorted coldly and immediately stepped up to the second floor.

After this small episode, there was no more trouble.

Soon, a capable-looking old man walked up to the small platform in the middle of the first floor. With a smile on his face, he said in a loud and powerful voice:

"Thank you all for coming here. My surname is Li. You can just call me Shopkeeper Li."

"This trade will be in charge of Lao Chen, mainly trading some treasures obtained by the Great Shang, as well as the exchanges between each other..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young master from before.

"Start quickly. If you keep rambling, I will find someone to arrest you!!!"

The smile on Shopkeeper Li's face faltered, but he seemed to know the identity of the other party, so he was not angry, but nodded obediently and said:

"Okay, since Mr. Hu is impatient, I won't be verbose."

“Now let’s start trading the first item – Top Grade beauty beads from South Sea!”

"This beauty pearl is as big as a baby's fist, with a warm and smooth color. It is a rare top grade pearl!"

"The lowest price is five thousand taels!"

...

One after another, rare treasures that are rarely seen by others are traded one by one.

However, these are not attractive to Yan Changqing. He just sighs at the tea silently and watches other people's transactions.

In general, the Great Shangjia present behaved in a low-key manner.

Even if you and other merchants fall in love with the same product, there will be no rivalry between them.

At most, he followed the price for a few rounds. When the transaction price exceeded his psychological expectations, he slightly arched his hands towards the other party to indicate that he would no longer follow.

However, I don’t know where the young master surnamed Hu is from, and his attitude is very arrogant!

Once you fall in love with a certain product, you must take a photo of it.

Even if there are other great sellers who are interested in the same product, after following one or two rounds of prices.

The middle-aged shopkeeper who was following Mr. Hu before would walk up to the other party and whisper a few words, and then the other party would give up and continue bidding.

"Everyone, what is up for auction next is one of our grand finale treasures - Ambergris!!!"

"As we all know, ambergris is generally divided into three grades according to color, among which gray is Low Grade ambergris, light gray is Mid Grade ambergris, and bright white is High Grade ambergris."

"The ambergris we salvaged this time from other ships that were shipwrecked by overseas merchants is the size of a Cuju and is completely crystal white. It is definitely the best Top Grade ambergris!!!"

Shopkeeper Li in front of the trading desk introduced it passionately.

At the same time, two strong men carried a wooden box that was slightly wrapped with vines and looked a bit broken, and placed it on the trading table.

Immediately, shopkeeper Li opened the wooden box, revealing a piece of Top Grade Ambergris the size of a Cuju and completely white!

In addition to the ambergris, there are several bracts with thin whiskers on one end and wrapped in green leather, as well as some shells and miscellaneous rocks mixed in.

"When we salvaged this box, the blockade on it had been damaged."

"But fortunately, the Top Grade Ambergris inside was not lost because of this. It is still in the box, with just a little more debris from the sea."

Shopkeeper Li pointed to the Top Grade ambergris in the wooden box and introduced it, in order to show the origin of this Top Grade ambergris and the difficulty of getting it.

They didn't even clean up the debris on the box, they just shipped it over.

In order to be able to sell it at a higher price!

Yan Changqing, who was still drinking tea casually, raised his eyes casually and was stunned immediately.

But unlike everyone else who focused on ambergris, Yan Changqing's eyes were fixed on the vines wrapped around the wooden box.

And the sticks in the box with thin whiskers on one end and green leather coats!

[That is... sweet potato vine? ! ! 】

【And corn? ! ! 】

Yan Changqing was shocked.

Although he feels that in this era, it is possible to obtain the three major crops in South America through overseas trade.

But in fact, this really just depends on luck.

From the time he came up with this idea until now, he has been to various docks and large markets in Nanjing dozens of times!

But so far, he has only luckily found a few potatoes at the end of last year.

Even if he hadn't discovered it in time that time, those potatoes would have been eaten by the merchant in the end.

He is still planting those potatoes in the backyard field, and it is estimated that the harvest will come soon.

However, although he got potatoes, Yan Changqing still had no confidence in whether he could continue to get the other two major South American crops.

After all, luck is too elusive and unreliable.

Unlike subjects such as mathematics, geography, physics, and chemistry, if you can, you can, and if you can’t, you can’t, it’s clear and reliable!
