Chapter 1873 Large Trade Fair

After walking around for a few times, Su Chen had a general understanding of the medicine market in the capital.

At this time, Su Chen found that there were more and more pedestrians on the commercial street, and everyone was rushing in the same direction.

"Hurry up, you can't get in if you are late."

"Yes, today is the annual large-scale trade fair in the capital, and the opportunity is rare!"

"Many businesses and shops with a certain scale in the capital will come to the large-scale trade fair today to set up stalls and display their products for everyone to compare and choose. There are not many such opportunities!"

"Hurry, hurry up!"

Large-scale trade fair?

Su Chen's heart moved, it was just right to go and take a look, and by the way, understand the price of alchemy materials in the capital.

After all, if he wanted to open an alchemy shop, a large amount of raw materials was indispensable, and he couldn't grow all these raw materials in the mustard seed space by himself, which would be too time-consuming.

Therefore, the price of raw materials is very critical, which is related to the cost of the medicine shop, in other words, it is related to how much profit the medicine shop can make.

At that moment, Su Chen followed the crowd and walked forward.

After a while, he came to a large square in the center of the commercial street.

The square was surrounded by fully armed guards at this moment, and the inside of the square was crowded with people, and new people kept pouring into the square.

Su Chen glanced and saw that the guards' helmets all had bright royal emblems, which he was very familiar with, because there was also such an emblem on the carriage of Prince Shang's palace.

"It is the royal guards who are maintaining order. It seems that this large trade fair is hosted by the royal family."

Su Chen thought so too. Many large businesses and shops in this royal capital are the industries of those big families. If the organizer of this large trade fair is not the royal family, these people may not even come.

It is the face of the royal family that can bring these large businesses and shops together in the same occasion.

At that moment, Su Chen also followed the flow of people and walked into the square.

As soon as he entered the square, he found that the trading area had been arranged inside. Rows of stalls and trading tables were arranged in a very prosperous and lively manner.

Moreover, these stalls were all-inclusive. Whether it was elixirs, artifacts, secret manuals of martial arts, talismans, monsters... everything was available.

Su Chen walked along the road, and the stalls on both sides of the road made him dazzled. However, he thought of the alchemy materials he needed, two of which were not available in these stalls.

Su Chen also knew that the two materials were relatively rare. Therefore, perhaps only those large businesses and shops would have them.

And those large businesses and shops were not in this ordinary area, but in the VIP area.

The VIP area, as the name suggests, is to receive those noble guests.

And the merchants who can set up stalls in the VIP area are all first-class merchants and big shops in the capital.

Su Chen walked towards the VIP area, and before he walked into it, a pair of eyes in the VIP area discovered his presence.

This person is a follower of Xu Zhi. When Xu Zhi ran to the Prince Shang's Mansion to challenge Su Chen, this follower was beside him. However, because he was just a follower, he was not conspicuous.

As soon as the follower saw Su Chen, he immediately lowered his head, then quickly walked to the side of another person and whispered in that person's ear: "Steward, I found the guy who had a conflict with Master Lang and Master Zhi in the academy. He seems to have come to the trade fair to buy things!"

"Really?" The man called the steward looked shrewd and looked in the direction of Su Chen after hearing the words. However, he only glanced at it and immediately moved away.

This is a steward of the Xu family. He came to the trade fair today because the Xu family has a store to participate in the trade fair today, so he also came with him.

"Is it that young man? Who is he?" the steward asked.

"Butler, he has no background. He is just a guy from the Central Continent. He has no foundation and is not as good as the country folks from the mountains."

The attendant reported, "By the way, he seems to have been recruited by the Shang Prince's Mansion, but the palace did not give him any special treatment. It is probably just a casual recruitment."

"Yeah!" The butler nodded. The two princes often recruited such young warriors. They said they were recruiting, but in fact, they just brought them to the capital and let them develop on their own, which was basically the same as letting them grow up.

The advantage of doing this is that you can cast a wide net. Among hundreds of such young warriors, there will always be those who can become talents in the future. However, because there are too many people, it means that the palace basically does not care about these young geniuses, nor does it really treat them as its own people.

Therefore, if the Xu family wants to teach Su Chen a lesson, they don't have to be afraid of the Shang Prince's Mansion. In a way, the Shang Prince's Mansion even encourages others to do so, because real gold is always tempered by fire. Only in this way can we see whether this young man is real gold and whether it is worth cultivating.

"I'll trip him up a little so he can't buy what he wants!"

This steward is obviously an old hand at this.
