"Hu, Hu…!"
The young scholar blew on the hot black lump and ate it with relish under the curious and envious gazes of the four people.
"Little Lord, the four of us are passing by this place and are hungry. Can we ask for some food?”
Seeing Li Erzhi gulping, Zhangsun Wuji stared at the black lump on the ground and cupped his hands.
There was no other way. This kid was not hospitable at all. He knew that they were stretching their necks to watch from the side, but he did not want them to taste it. Helpless, he could only ask for it!
"Five coins!"
The young scholar stretched out his hand, signaling for the money.
"For you…?"
Zhangsun Wuji took out five copper coins and quickly handed them over.
However, when he saw the black lump handed over by the young scholar, he couldn't help but frown." Just one…?”
Although he was a Duke and a first-grade official, he was still very clear about the market price.
Five copper coins could buy a bucket of rice, and a bucket of rice was more than ten catties, enough for a family of three to eat for ten days!
However, in this poor and remote place, they could only buy a black lump. This clearly treated them as fools!
"You don't want it…?"
The young scholar took back the black lump and handed over five copper coins." I'll return the money to you!”
"Oh, no, no…! Five coins it is!"
Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand and took out another 20 coins." I want the remaining four!"”
There were five of them, and the remaining ones were just enough for each of them!
"I'm sorry, the price has increased. It's now 10 wen for one!”
The young scholar didn't take it, but directly raised the price, as if he was sure to take them down.
"Raise the price?"
Li Er frowned slightly. This kid looked good, but he didn't expect him to be a profiteer.
Although a few dozen copper coins was nothing to him, the feeling of being treated like a sucker made him very unhappy!
He had always thought that the commoners were simple and tough. He did not expect to meet an unruly person as soon as he left the palace today.
Princess Chang Le looked curiously at the hot thing in the scholar's hand and could not help but swallow her saliva.
She didn't care how much it cost. She just thought that the charcoal was dirty. She wanted to try it, but she was afraid that her hands would be dirty, so she hesitated.
"What is it that costs ten coins each? I, Old Cheng, have a taste…"
Cheng Yaojin smelled the sweet fragrance and couldn't hold it in any longer. Without saying anything, he picked up a black lump, peeled it, and ate it.
"Mmm, it's delicious!"
However, he only took a bite and his eyes widened.
He didn't expect that this black thing would taste so sweet.
"Is it worth it?"
The young scholar asked proudly when he saw him wolfing down the food.
"It's worth it! Not to mention ten coins, even a hundred coins was worth it. It wasn't even considered expensive!”
Old Cheng nodded repeatedly!
This was the first time he had tasted such a sweet and soft delicacy. It was many times more delicious than the pastries in Chang 'an City!
"Alright then, 100 copper coins for one!"
The young scholar took advantage of the situation and extended his right hand without any hesitation.
"Yes, yes…!"
Cheng Yaojin was so hot that he couldn't speak. He could only nod.
He hurriedly took out 500 copper coins and handed it over. Then, as if he was afraid that the scholar would go back on his word, he hugged the remaining four black lumps in his arms like they were treasures.
"Cough, cough…"
Li Er, who was originally unhappy, couldn't help but become more curious when he saw Old Cheng eating like this. He coughed lightly twice and signaled for him to try one too.
"Oh, oh…!"
Sure enough, Cheng Yaojin very tactfully handed him one. However, this fellow's mouth was stuffed and his words were unclear. It was impossible to tell what he was saying.
"Old Cheng, let me try one too!"
Zhangsun Wuji stretched out his hand to take it, but who would have thought that Cheng Hao would clench his teeth and hug the remaining three black lumps, avoiding them far away.
Wei Zheng, who originally wanted to have a good meal, saw that Li Er treasured it so much that he could only think of asking for it. Then, he looked at Li Er eagerly.
"Hu, hu…! There was actually such delicious food in the world?”
Li Ergang took a bite and his eyes widened. He felt that he was a fool just now, but his heart instantly felt much more balanced.
Such delicious food, let alone ten coins, even a hundred coins was indeed not expensive.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 180 Achievement Points!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the young scholar's mind.
He, who had originally thought nothing of it, could not help but be stunned.
"So many?"
He raised his head and seriously sized up the five people in front of him. His clear eyes were filled with surprise.
His name was Li Xuan, a transmigrator!
Along with him, there was also a technological achievement system.
The function of this system was very simple. As long as one had achievement points, they could exchange for things in the system store.
The method to obtain Achievement Points was also very simple. If his items were liked or recognized by others, he would be rewarded with Achievement Points.
Previously, he could only obtain 1 achievement point from each of the villagers!
However, he had obtained 180 Achievement Points from these five people today. It was obvious that these five people had extraordinary identities.
According to the rules of the system, the higher his status, the more Achievement Points he would receive.
"Uncle Cheng, I want to try one too!”
Just as he was in shock, the beautiful girl spoke again.
