"You... are you a little more expensive?" The short scholar covered his chest and looked at Zhang Zong with anger, because he felt that the other party was enjoying himself.

"That's right, even flowers made of gold cannot be sold for ten cents, right?" The tall young man next to him also said a little annoyed. It's not their fault. The price reported by Zhang Zong is too outrageous.

"You two are a little restless. Although the ten-spoon is a little expensive, please think, you can't find a second place in Chang'an City. As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, so I feel that the price is still very reasonable!" Zhang Zong explained with a smile.

The price of Shiguan is indeed too exaggerated. An ordinary person in the Tang Dynasty spent hundreds of people a month to live a good life, so Shiguan is a huge sum of money for most people.

Zhang Zong knew about the above, but he still set this sky-high price. Naturally, he had his own reasons. First of all, he didn't plan to really sell it. Instead, he wanted to use it to make his name famous. The expensive and rare two-color rose will definitely arouse the curiosity of many people. As long as the fame is made, he will naturally not worry about business in the future. It is like some antique jade shops have several non-buy items, which are beautifully called "the treasure of the store", which is actually used to attract customers.

"It's good to be rare, but you're too expensive. You can buy a good horse for ten cents!" The short scholar still said a little angry.

The national strength of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, and the northern grasslands were all the horse farms of the Tang Dynasty, which also caused the price of horses in the Tang Dynasty to drop rapidly. The cheapest inferior horses could even be exchanged for one piece of silk, and ten cents of money were enough to buy a good military horse.

"The price is this price. If you two think it is expensive, other monochromatic roses can only be bought for twenty cents." Zhang Zong was not angry, but said patiently again.

"If you don't buy it, it's too dark here!" But the short man was obviously angry. He then shook his sleeves and turned around and left. The tall man next to him saw that his friends had left, so he naturally wouldn't stay and left as well.

Although the business was not done, Zhang Zong was not in a hurry at all. He turned around and continued to eat his own pancakes. In the afternoon, there were more customers. Usually, they came to Qujiangchi to visit in the morning, and it was not convenient to carry a flower pot. In the afternoon, some people were preparing to go back. Passing by Zhang Zong, they bought a pot, which was similar to buying souvenirs at tourist attractions in later generations.

Among these customers who bought flowers, several of them found the two-color rose, which were as amazed as the two scholars, but when they heard Zhang Zong’s offer, they were all stunned. It was probably the first time they saw flowers and plants sold as gold.

Until dusk, Zhang Zong closed the stall and the two pots of two-color roses were still not sold, and some other flowers were sold. However, the business was still a bit cold, which is normal. Zhang Zong had already messed up the reputation of the flower garden before, and now he has closed for so many days. If he hadn't relied on the road to Qujiangchi, it would have been difficult to even open it.

After closing the stall and closing the door, Zhang Zong had a simple supper, boiled water to take a bath. The living facilities of this era are very primitive, whether it is taking a bath or going to the toilet, it is a problem. Now Zhang Zong really hopes that summer will come soon and that he can take a cold bath directly.

The next morning, Zhang Zong got up in a daze, washed up and was too lazy to cook. The business happened to be open yesterday, so he planned to go to the breakfast shop beside Qujiang Pool to buy some breakfast. However, when he opened the door, he saw a crowd of people outside the door, which made Zhang Zong stunned for a moment. He felt that he might have opened the door in a wrong way, so he suddenly closed the door, took a long breath and opened it again, but there were still a group of people outside.

"Little Langjun, do you really have two-color roses?" A middle-aged lady in the crowd asked loudly, her sharp voice hurting her eardrums.

"Is it really a ten-point sale?" As soon as the aunt's voice fell, someone immediately asked.

"Rose that is more expensive than gold, take it out quickly to open our eyes!"

"That's right, I've never seen roses of two colors in my life..."

The crowd outside the door was like three hundred ducks yelling, which made Zhang Zong feel hurt. Although he really planned to use the two-color rose to attract customers, the effect was too significant. There were hundreds of people gathering at the door of his house early in the morning. How could he do business?

"Everyone, be quiet! Quiet! The two-color rose is the treasure of this flower garden. One plant is ten thousand stakes. No bargaining is allowed. If you are willing to buy, prepare copper coins. If you don't want to buy, please spread them!" Zhang Zong finally shouted with a hard forehead.

It’s true that Zhang Zong’s voice was immediately effective, and the quarrels in the crowd became even more powerful. If there were three hundred ducks just now, then they would have become three thousand ducks. Soon someone quarreled and insisted on seeing the extremely expensive two-color rose in the legend before leaving.

In desperation, Zhang Zong had to carry out a pot of two-color roses. Yesterday, the rose was only slightly cracked, but after a night, it was half open. It was the time when the flowers were the most beautiful. This was a pot of two-color roses with yellow on top and red on the bottom. Although there were not many yellow flowers on it, they looked extremely noble in comparison.

"It's really two colors!" Everyone in the crowd was exclaiming when they saw the two-color roses, and even a strange silence appeared. Then there was a more intense noise. Looking at their eyes shining, Zhang Zong suddenly found that these people seemed to be no different from those of the community aunts who like to chat about gossip in later generations.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. The lives of the ancients were quite boring. Not to mention mobile phones and computers, there was not even a newspaper. The people in the entire Chang'an City basically lived on gossip. The expensive and rare two-color rose here in Zhang Zong just met all the conditions for gossip, so they attracted so many people in just one day.

Of course, no matter how rare things are, they will be like that after watching them for a long time, so after satisfying the curiosity of these people, these gossiping aunts and men began to slowly disperse. Of course, some people were not easy to come, and of course they could not go back empty-handed, so they bought potted flowers. They couldn't afford the two-color rose, but the monochromatic rose is still fine.

In fact, after seeing the Shuangse Rose, these people still have a mentality, that is, seeing that Zhang Zong can cultivate such rare flowers, other flowers must be good, so they are very happy to pay. Even if the roses in the red pottery pot are more expensive, they do not bargain like the customers yesterday. This is exactly the purpose of Zhang Zong's introduction to Shuangse Rose.

In order to deal with these guests, Zhang Zong didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Finally, he didn't have time to make some noodles until noon to satisfy his hunger. The hot business also brought him a lot of income, which made Zhang Zong full of motivation. Maybe it won't take long to pay off the debt he owed.

The feeling of debt is not good, especially for Zhang Zong. He has never liked to owe others things, especially money. It feels like there is a thorn in his body, neither sitting nor standing, and he must pull out this root.

In the next few days, there were still a constant stream of people watching Shuangse Rose every day, and Zhang Zong's business was getting better and better. Although he was a little busy, he felt very fulfilled.

That afternoon, as the sun sets, fewer and fewer customers are coming. Zhang Zong was about to close the stall, but he didn't expect that someone came to the flower stall again. He was about to say hello, but he didn't expect that when he looked up, he found that the person coming was Xu Yalang.

"I haven't seen each other for many days, but I didn't expect that Xiao Langjun's business would be so prosperous!" Xu Yalang still smiled like last time, but Zhang Zong keenly discovered that the other party's smile was definitely not as sincere as he looked on.

"I'm asking Xu Yalang to have a blessing. The flowerbed has reopened and I finally have some business. Maybe I can pay back the money I owed you earlier in the future!" Although he knew that the other party had bad intentions, Zhang Zong still greeted him with a smile.

When Xu Yalang heard that Zhang Zong was going to pay back the money, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and a very stiff smile appeared. Then he came to the flower stand and looked at it. When he saw Shuangse Rose, his eyes lit up and said, "Is this the legendary Shuangse Rose?"

"Not bad." Zhang Zong nodded.

"Sell it to me, I'll give it..." Xu Yalang hesitated for a moment when he said this, then gritted his teeth and seemed to be cruel, "I'll give it two hundred documents!"

"Two hundred texts?" Zhang Zong wanted to laugh when he heard this, "Hasn't Xu Yalang heard that the two-color rose is ten strings, and I can't sell it even if I don't have a single quota."

Seeing Zhang Zong refuse, Xu Yalang's smile froze, but then he forced a smile and said, "Little Langjun, although Xu is just a yarn, he is barely considered a businessman. You can deceive others and cannot deceive me with this method. The price you set is just for attention. It is impossible to sell it. The two hundred cigarettes I paid is real. If you buy a rose for two hundred cigarettes, such a good thing is hard to find in the entire capital!"

"Xu Yalang, I am just a flower-growing grass, I can't be considered a businessman. The price of a ten-standard plant has been set long ago, so naturally it is impossible to change it!" Zhang Zong insisted.

I just wanted to buy the unique two-color rose of this family for two hundred people. This is simply too whimsical. It’s not that Zhang Zong is greedy for money, but that the price of ten thousand yuan has been spread. If he breaks his promise now, it will ruin the reputation he has finally established. Maybe there will be no customers coming to the door tomorrow.

"you……"

Xu Yalang, who has always been eloquent, was so angry that he was speechless. Zhang Zong was too lazy to talk nonsense to this greedy Xu Yalang, and immediately spoke again: "The gardenia and jasmine in Furong Garden have been raised. I will repay you ten cents first as agreed. As for the remaining ten cents, I will pay them back as soon as possible. Please don't worry Xu Yalang!"
