Chapter 1427: The County Office Is Haunted
"One hundred three-yellow lotus leaf chickens." Jiang Hao said.
"But is it true?" The shopkeeper was surprised.
"Of course it is true." Jiang Hao said, taking out a silver ingot and holding it in his palm.
Money speaks the most, and the shopkeeper immediately smiled as soon as he saw the silver, "So you are a big customer, but the store doesn't have so many chickens, it takes more time to make."
"It doesn't matter, leave a deposit, I will take it away in two hours." Jiang Hao said.
The shopkeeper took out a small scale, cut off two taels of silver as a deposit, and respectfully sent Jiang Hao away. He turned back and went into the store, and told the clerk to hurry up and make it.
The owner of the roast duck shop next door saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and when Jiang Hao came out of the roast chicken shop, he immediately came up and said: "Is this young man's family going to have a wedding? We have a saying here, 'No duck, no feast', how can a wedding be without duck."
"Our family is a century-old brand. The salted duck we make is salty, sweet and fragrant, with a smooth taste, jade-white meat, shiny and oily, fat skin and fragrant bones. You can't stop eating it after one bite. Would you like some?"
The owner of the roast duck shop looked at Jiang Hao hopefully.
The salted duck is not bad, "Give me a hundred, come and get it in the evening." Jiang Hao said very straightforwardly.
The boss was overjoyed and immediately led Jiang Hao to the store and left a deposit of two taels.
Walking a few steps forward, he looked up and saw Hu's Clothing Store. Looking at his robe, the blue cloth long gown had been washed white, and he walked in. The shopkeeper was standing in the store. When he saw Jiang Hao, his eyes lit up.
"Sir, if you want to buy clothes and hats, we have ready-made clothes here, and we can also make them to measure." The shopkeeper said attentively.
Jiang Hao looked around and ordered a few sets of clothes, saying, "This set of moon-white scholar robe, this set of blue Taoist shirt, this set of lanshan, this set of scarf clothes, and this Tang scarf hat, floating scarf, shirt and robe, all for one set."
"No problem." The shopkeeper smiled and took them down.
After putting on the new clothes, Jiang Hao seemed to have changed into a different person. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and Buddha relies on gold. He immediately showed the style of a noble young man, and his appearance +5. No wonder you have to buy skins in the game. Although there is no ability bonus, people still flock to it.
The rest of the clothes were packed, and the bill was paid and left. The shopkeeper's smiling face sent them to the door. When Jiang Hao walked away, he quickly instructed the waiter next to him, "Notify them immediately and say that Mr. Jiang changed into a moon-white scholar robe."
The waiter ran out to communicate.
Arriving at a horse and carriage shop, it was still Hu Ji's shop. The shopkeeper's warm hospitality made Jiang Hao fancy a horse and a carriage, and he spent more than 100 taels of silver in total.
In ancient times, having a horse carriage was more rare than having a car in modern times. It was an absolute symbol of status. As for Jiang Hao buying a car, it was mainly for transporting goods. He bought a lot of things today, and he couldn't just stuff them all into the space.
The horse pulling the carriage was in its prime. Although it was not a BMW horse, it was also strong. It was a brown Hetao horse. This kind of horse had great endurance and was not slow. It could be used to pull a carriage or ride. Jiang Hao stroked the horse's forehead and tamed it with animal communication skills.
"Follow me!" Jiang Hao said to the brown horse.
The brown horse nodded. Jiang Hao walked in front, and it followed behind obediently. When Jiang Hao entered the street shop, it stood there waiting.
There is a steamed bun shop in front. The steamers at the door are stacked two or three meters high, and the steam is steaming. Jiang Hao directly orders 200 meat buns, 200 vegetarian buns, and 200 steamed buns. The shopkeeper puts them in several large baskets for Jiang Hao and stuffs them into the car.
After leaving a distance, Jiang Hao directly puts them into the space. These foods can be used in emergencies. They are always kept at the temperature when they enter the space. They are essential for home and travel.
"How many kinds of pickles are there?" Jiang Hao asked in the pickle shop.
"A total of thirteen kinds."
"One jar of each."
Pay the money and put it in the car.
Walk into the stationery store, get two sets of fine pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and a few rolls of yellow paper. At the pharmacy, Jiang Hao bought a lot of cinnabar, which is enough for this time. He also bought a batch of other medicinal materials. He also plans to make two human skin masks later.
In the jade shop, Jiang Hao has money this time, so he directly bought a few pieces of fine Hetian white jade, all polished into jade plaques, and kept them to make his own instruments in the future.
Arriving at the wine shop, the shelves were filled with wine jars and porcelain bottles of all sizes. When Jiang Hao said he bought a lot of wine, the shopkeeper personally introduced it to him, "This is our local Jinhua wine, which is as golden in color, sweet and mellow in nature."
Jiang Hao knew Jinhua wine, but he had not drunk it before. Instead, he had seen the description of Jinhua wine in the strange book Jin Ping Mei.
"There are also Kuacang Jin Pan Lu, Shandong Qiu Lu Bai, and Huai'an Mung Bean Wine."
The shopkeeper introduced more than a dozen kinds in one breath, and Jiang Hao waved his hand, "Ten jars of each."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and immediately ordered the clerk to move the wine.
After leaving the wine shop and coming to the weapons shop, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly, "Mr. Jiang, what weapons do you want to buy?"
"Oh, do you know me?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise.
The owner of the weapons shop was startled, knowing that he had let the cat out of the bag, and immediately covered it up by saying, "Ah, I have a good memory. I saw you once before, so I remembered it."
Good memory,
Jiang Hao thought, I have a photographic memory, how could I not remember seeing you? His mind turned, thinking that today, whenever he entered the Hu family shop, he would be personally entertained by the owner. Now that the boss in front of him called out his name again, he was afraid that the Hu family would have to explain it.
That's good,
this will be convenient for him.
That day, Jiang Hao saw the sword with a pinewood scabbard in the weapons shop, came up to it and pointed it and asked, "Can this sword be cheaper?"
The owner blinked, smiled and asked carefully, "Of course it can be cheaper. How about 60 taels of silver?"
Jiang Hao remembered that last time he came here, he asked for a price of 260 taels, but this time it was 200 taels cheaper. This discount was quite large.
"Okay." Jiang Hao said.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. 60 taels was basically the cost price.
Jiang Hao turned around again, "How much does this knife, this gun, and this spear cost?"
The shopkeeper quoted an extremely cheap price, and Jiang Hao bought them all immediately, and then bought some odds and ends, such as daggers, darts, iron wire and other items.
Just these weapons cost Jiang Hao more than two hundred taels of silver, and they were still priced at a 30% discount.
I used to think that more than five hundred taels was a lot of money, but after buying these things, I only had a few dozen taels left. Fortunately, I had almost bought everything, leaving some for emergencies.
Walking back, the brown horse followed behind.
When Jiang Hao stood in front of the hawker selling folding fans, the hawker didn't even recognize that Jiang Hao was wearing a blue robe before. Although it was clean, it was a little faded from the starch. He was a slightly shabby scholar.
Now wearing a moon-white robe and a Tang scarf hat, he looks like a noble prince.
"Sir, do you want to buy a folding fan?" the vendor asked.
Jiang Hao smiled, turned the imperial concubine's bamboo folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why, I don't know you. I just owed you a fan on credit."
The hawker looked at Jiang Hao again and immediately smiled, "It's you, sir. You have changed your clothes, but I didn't recognize you."
"I'm here to pay back the money." Jiang Hao said.
"That fan of yours costs 30 cents," the vendor said.
Jiang Hao pointed to the fans on the stall and said, "How many fans do you have here, and how much do they cost in total?"
The vendor was stunned, looked at his stall, and said: "There are probably more than a hundred of them. The materials are polygonatum, brown bamboo, purple bamboo, spotted bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, hyacinth bamboo, leopard pattern bamboo, and arrow bamboo. The prices range from high to low. The total price is about seven or eight taels of silver."
Jiang Hao took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his pocket and placed it directly on the stall. "I bought all the fans here. I don't need to change the extra money. I'll load the fans into the car."
As he spoke, he pointed to the carriage behind him.
The hawker was overjoyed. He really did the right thing this time. He made half a year's worth of money. He thanked Jiang Hao repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, for the reward."
"No, I want to thank you for trusting me." Jiang Hao said.
The vendor happily stuffed the silver ingot into his arms, then gathered the fans and loaded them on Jiang Hao's carriage. Soon the carriage was filled with various paper fans.
Seeing that it was noon, Jiang Hao found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes for a full meal. After the meal, he took a carriage to the previous shops and took back the customized roast chicken and duck. The purchasing operation ended here.
Driving the carriage, we slowly came to another street. Not long after, we saw the door of a large house, with a plaque reading "Lanxi County Government" hanging above it. Two stone lions stood at the door, majestic and domineering. There was a drum under the porch with the words " The two words "blue sky" are just a drum of injustice.
At this time, there was a government official standing guard at the door. He was slack and without any energy. The carriage was moving slowly. Jiang Hao said to Zhu Guang in his sleeve: "Zhu Guang, remember this place. I have something for you to do tonight."
Zhu Guang showed his figure. He had the talisman given by Jiang Hao on his body. He was not afraid of the sun. He looked at the county government office and said: "Sir, this is the county government office. With my current magic power, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the lion suppression test at the door?" "
"Don't worry, I will help you deal with the lion." Jiang Hao said confidently.
When the carriage passed the gate of the county government office, Jiang Hao pinched a spell with his left hand and popped out two ink beads with his right hand. The ink beads accurately hit the two eyes of the stone lion, which were immediately stained black and then disappeared. Everything returned to normal. .
The carriage creaked forward, and when it approached another lion, Jiang Hao did the same. The carriage did not stop, and slowly left, heading outside the city.
The stone lion guarded the government office, and evil spirits did not dare to approach it at will. Now that Jiang Hao used magic to blindfold his eyes, he could not see anything. Naturally, he could not see the ghosts nearby, and it could not play a role in guarding the house.
night,
A cold wind blew.
The window lattice kept ringing.
In the county government house, there was a charcoal basin in the room, and the room was warm. The magistrate Wang of Lanxi County was full of joy. He took out a wad of silver notes from his sleeve and counted them carefully again, "Hahaha, a total of five thousand taels, plus The income from the past few days has totaled 11,200 taels this time, and the Qing Prefecture has received 100,000 snowflakes in three years. Although we cannot earn 100,000, we still have 30,000 to 50,000."
At this moment, the door of the room opened, and a beautiful woman walked in with a basin in her hand. The steam was steaming, "Master, wash your feet."
Magistrate Wang quickly stuffed the banknotes back into his sleeves and waved to his concubine. When she came over, he hugged her and put his hand into his arms to touch her. The concubine smiled and twisted her body, "Master is in such a good mood today. After washing up, you can do whatever you want with me."
"Master is happy today. Let's clean up together after we finish." He said and started to take off my concubine's clothes.
At this moment, the concubine's eyes suddenly widened and she screamed in horror.
"Ah, ghost!"
This scream frightened County Magistrate Wang. He turned around and saw a green-faced man with fangs and a ghostly face glowing with green light appearing in the room. His face was extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"Ah~~ghost!"
Magistrate Wang also shouted louder than the concubine.
At this time, the fierce ghost shouted sternly, "Wang Denzhi, you caused me to die unjustly, and I am seeking your life today. I will devour your souls and drag you to the eighteenth level of hell!"
"Ahh~~~~!"
Two screams echoed through the county government office.
