Chapter 274 Let Xiaolong Vomit for You on the Spot
The people watching the excitement were talking about it. They all knew that there was only one chamber of commerce in Donghuang, that is Donglai Chamber of Commerce.
The Cai family was not good at doing business, but they were good at bullying people.
They had occupied the market of Donghuang for hundreds of years. Things from outside could not come in, and rare things in Donghuang could not be sold at high prices.
It was said that Donglai Chamber of Commerce and Bafang Chamber of Commerce had made a bet on providing goods to local horse gangs at the border of Donghuang a while ago. Donglai Chamber of Commerce lost, so Bafang Chamber of Commerce was allowed to set up a branch on Qixia Street.
Qixia government office has also been living under the noses of the five major families. Finally, they saw that the outside chamber of commerce had entered Donghuang. The prefectural governor specially approved this piece of land for Bafang Chamber of Commerce to open a store.
It seems that Donglai Chamber of Commerce is not good at being open, so it started to be shady. Bafang Chamber of Commerce is also stupid. The five major families are in the same boat. The Di family ordered such a large amount of elixirs, which clearly has no good intentions.
Wang Tao drove away the group of people who took off the plaques and ordered the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce to operate as usual. The refined rice and flour shipped from other places were sold at a discount today.
Wine utensils, tea utensils, silk and jade wares were all on sale.
In the East Wilderness, these in-demand items were sold faster than elixirs.
Soon, a long line formed at the door of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce. Wang Tao squinted his eyes and suddenly shouted, "Little Dragon!"
[To be honest, I have been using Reading Books to keep up with the latest updates recently. It can switch sources and has many voices for reading aloud. It can be used on Android and Apple. ]
A small dot flew over from afar in the sky. Gradually, it was a small green dragon shaking its head and tail.
It hugged Wang Tao's neck with its front paws and licked Wang Tao's face with spit.
The rich scent of ambergris drifted far away.
Several ladies from wealthy families looked around to find the source of the smell. Wang Tao wiped his face in disdain and told Xiaolong, "Just watch here. If anyone makes trouble, call dad immediately."
Naturally, there were people from the five major families in the crowd. Xiaolong was in charge here, so ordinary people had to weigh their strength.
Just as Wang Tao was about to leave, he was stopped by a lady dressed in silk.
She smiled with her greasy face, touched Xiaolong and said, "Little brother, I want to buy ambergris."
Wang Tao had to turn around and shout to the clerk of the Chamber of Commerce, "Bring a tank of water, let Xiaolong spit for you on the spot!"
A large water tank more than one person tall was set up at the door of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce. Xiaolong leaned on the edge of the tank and spit into it aggrievedly.
Authentic ambergris is sold by wooden handle scoop, one tael of silver for a water scoop, and a tank of water is added after a tank is sold out.
Anyway, there is a well in the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce, and Xiaolong only needs two mouthfuls of saliva to fill the tank with fragrance.
Originally, many people in Donghuang only knew Donglai Chamber of Commerce, but not Bafang Chamber of Commerce.
In Donghuang, ten taels of gold could not buy a small bottle of ambergris. Now, the rich families in Qixia Prefecture came with buckets, pots, and even pulled their own water carts to buy ambergris.
The originally bustling Donglai Chamber of Commerce was suddenly deserted. After the Di family's incident, the people queuing for Bafang Chamber of Commerce stretched two streets away.
The guys took turns to scoop ambergris, and the accountant was almost exhausted from counting money.
The vice president of the Donghuang branch of Bafang Chamber of Commerce immediately asked Dong Yiyuan for support and urgently recruited people to help.
The business of the Donghuang branch was really hot.
When Wang Tao returned home, Xiaoxue had become a small dragon the size of a chopstick. It kept sending its accumulated snacks to Dong Gang.
Dong Gang looked at it with helplessness and fear.
Seeing Dong Gang's look of not wanting to offend but not wanting to see Xiaoxue, Wang Tao gave Xiaoxue some money and asked her to go out and buy some dried plums for Xiaolong to eat.
He walked into the alchemy room of Tongde Hall.
There was thick smoke and heat waves here, and it was impossible to see the situation inside clearly.
