The evil forces roaming the heavens
Chapter 1860: 28,000 yuan for a fur coat!
Chapter 1860 A fur coat worth 28,000!
Birch Forest, a market for mountain produce.
The boisterous voices of the crowd rose and fell in waves.
Wandering through the crowd, Zhang Cheng surveyed the stalls on both sides.
Compared to before, this place is noticeably more desolate, but it's still quite noisy.
Following behind Zhang Cheng, Gong Biao, dressed in a sharp suit, asked like a successful businessman, "Boss, what are we here to buy?"
"Roaring, tiger penis, tiger bone, and ginseng."
Turning to Gong Biao beside him, Zhang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Biaozi, you're still young and don't understand the purpose of these things. You'll understand when you're old, okay?"
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's instructions, Gong Biao's face was full of doubt.
Because what Zhang Cheng said seemed a bit outrageous, after all, he was younger than him!
As the two were strolling through the market, a voice called out from afar, "Cousin, cousin!"
Following the sound, Zhang Cheng spotted Shen Lei and immediately waved, saying, "Cousin, here!"
"Cousin, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Shen Lei's face showed surprise.
Upon hearing Shen Lei's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Just out for a stroll since I had nothing else to do! What are you looking to buy?"
"I'm just browsing too, hehe!"
With a smile, Shen Lei, unlike his future self, wasn't uninterested in anything and only wanted to slack off; he was still very much a young man.
"Leizi, Leizi!"
Just as Zhang Cheng was talking to Shen Lei, a shout came from not far away. Shen Lei quickly replied, "Cousin, I went to play with my classmates!"
"Alright, go ahead!"
Zhang Cheng waved goodbye to Shen Lei.
Just after Shen Lei left, Gong Biao immediately shouted, "Boss, there's something here!"
Upon hearing Gong Biao's words, Zhang Cheng immediately stepped forward.
At one of the stalls, Gong Biao asked the old man to open the sealed bag.
Upon seeing the bones inside, Gong Biao smiled and said, "Boss, look, tiger bones!"
"I think you're a fool!"
Looking at Gong Biao with disdain, Zhang Cheng said, "Dude, this is unethical! Are you trying to fool people with this thing?"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the old man didn't speak, but laughed and said, "What era are we living in? You still want genuine tiger bones? Aren't you afraid of traps?"
"Take it if you have it, otherwise stop arguing and wasting my time!"
Standing up and walking outside, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Just then, the old man looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "We're out of tiger bones, but we still have two jars of tiger bone wine. Shall we chat?"
"Wow!"
Zhang Cheng instantly returned to his stall, crossed his arms, and asked, "How should we talk?"
"this!"
The old man held up the number six and looked at Zhang Cheng with a broad smile.
"That's unnecessary!"
As he spoke, Zhang Cheng pried the old man's hand into a victory sign.
Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, the old man immediately retorted angrily, "Are you kidding me? How can you cut someone like that!"
"Three years ago, you wouldn't even have this. I would have just kept it as a collectible, not for myself! After all, I was young and impetuous, why would I need this kind of thing, right?"
Speaking to the old man in front of him, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the old man remained silent for a moment before saying, "I have a tiger skin at home. Can you give me an estimate of its value?"
Looking into the old man's eyes, Zhang Cheng knew that the other man wanted to test his abilities.
If he really makes a ridiculous offer, forget about tiger skin, he probably won't even be able to buy tiger bone wine!
"I'll give you this tiger skin! If you add twenty catties of wine, I'll give you about this much more."
Holding up two fingers, Zhang Cheng stared at the old man with a broad smile.
"Let's do it!"
After thinking for a moment, the old man did not continue to haggle.
When Zhang Cheng and Gong Biao arrived at the old man's house, it appeared quite dilapidated.
Without saying much, the old man took out the tiger skin and four jars. He opened them slightly, and Zhang Cheng could tell what kind of medicinal herbs were being used just by smelling them.
"Grandpa, you must have worked hard for all these things back then, right?"
Speaking to the old man, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask,
"My grandson is sick, and I'm a little short on things, otherwise I wouldn't have had to bring out these things!"
The old man seemed very reluctant to part with the tiger skin he was holding.
Zhang Cheng asked Gong Biao to open his briefcase, took out a wad of cash, counted out three thousand, and said, "The tiger skin is worth one thousand five hundred. The wine is worth at most three hundred. As for the rest, consider yourself lucky to have met me!"
Holding the money in his hands, the old man looked at Zhang Cheng in astonishment and said, "Young man, you?"
"When you found him, weren't you just trying to raise the price? Go get your child treated first! We can't afford to delay!"
Right after Zhang Cheng finished speaking, Gong Biao quickly opened the car door.
While driving, Gong Biao asked curiously, "Boss, how do you know he wasn't lying to us?"
"No one would bring this out unless absolutely necessary!"
Patting the tiger skin beside him, Zhang Cheng could tell that the skin was very well preserved. The old tiger hunters of yesteryear had gone there for the skin!
Passing by a Rongrong Laundry shop,
Zhang Cheng got down, intending to have them thoroughly clean the leather.
Since he was new to the area, he didn't know anyone who could clean leather.
As for himself, Zhang Cheng never had the idea of "self-reliance and hard work"!
However, as soon as Zhang Cheng entered, he heard an angry shout: "This fur coat of mine costs 28,000! If you can't come up with the money, then we'll have to discuss how to resolve this matter!"
At this point, the man looked at the woman meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng quickly stepped back, went to the doorway, and looked at the signboard.
"Snapped!"
Slapping his forehead, Zhang Cheng hadn't expected that he would actually end up at the laundry shop where Wu Zhizhen worked.
Turning around and seeing Zhang Cheng walk in, Wu Zhizhen and the man were both dumbfounded.
Because what Zhang Cheng held in his hand was actually a complete tiger skin.
"This thing, 28,000?"
Looking at Li Lianqing suspiciously, Zhang Cheng slapped his cheek and said, "Are you fucking crazy? You're lusting after someone's body, and you dare to make up stories like this? You're a jerk!"
"No, who the hell are you?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Li Lianqing roared angrily.
"Wow!"
Pushing open the door and entering, Gong Biao saw Li Lianqing speaking rudely and immediately shoved him hard on the shoulders, saying, "Who the hell do you think you are? Try yelling at my boss again, and I'll kill you!"
Looking at Gong Biao in front of him, Li Lianqing couldn't help but say, "You're in cahoots, aren't you? Ah!"
"Let me tell you, he's threatening you. If you can't afford to pay for this outfit, you'll have to come and keep me company. At least I'm more handsome than him, right?"
Zhang Cheng flashed a bright smile at Wu Zhizhen, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wu Zhizhen froze on the spot, because she hadn't expected him to be so blunt.
"Give him three hundred yuan and tell him to get lost. Twenty-eight thousand? He doesn't look like he's worth twenty-eight thousand."
Looking at Li Lianqing with disdain, Zhang Cheng began to complain.
Because he only bought this tiger skin for a little over 1,500 yuan. If this bastard really cared about the fur coat, how could he have taken so long to come? I bet he's the one trying to set me up!
"Three hundred yuan? You think you can give a beggar three hundred yuan?!"
Pointing at Zhang Cheng, Li Lianqing became angry.
"Yes, I'm just trying to get rid of a beggar. If you're not happy about it, then come at me!"
Zhang Cheng tossed the tiger skin to Gong Biao, who was standing nearby, then stepped forward, staring at him with icy eyes.
Terrified, they fled backwards, but Li Lianqing roared, "You wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
"roll!"
Gong Biao chased after him, and Li Lianqing was so frightened that he scrambled to his feet.
Handing the tiger skin to Wu Zhizhen, Zhang Cheng said with a big smile, "The matter is settled, but you have to wash this tiger skin carefully. If it gets damaged, it will be hard to buy another one!"
Zhang Cheng smiled at Wu Zhizhen, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Thank you!"
With a smile, Wu Zhizhen looked at Zhang Cheng and quickly expressed her gratitude.
