Seeing that he was about to collide, the people who didn't want to enter the door avoided it very quickly.

His body is faster than I can imagine, and as long as others react a little slower, I'm afraid they won't be able to avoid bumping into him!

At this moment, this extremely agile man was facing away from me.

My heart moved, and I heard him smile and say to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy: "Shopkeeper, why can't I come?" “

The visitor continued to the shopkeeper: "Although my little brother is gone, there is no word on your door that I can't come!" “

Why does that sound like a scoundrel? "I'm small here, so you're not welcome."

There was a hint of displeasure in the shopkeeper's tone, which sounded completely different from the tone he had spoken to me just now. "Hey, shopkeeper, open the door to do business, how can there be such a rush as you."

The person who came said to himself.

The shopkeeper paused, and said to him in disgust: "Also see who enters the door, except for you like you." ”

My mind was spinning fast, and judging by the tone of my voice, I thought that the man who entered the door was a very annoying person from the shopkeeper.

I thought about it, could it be that I came to the pharmacy to borrow money from the shopkeeper? How else can it be explained? "Didn't I come to you for something!"

The tone of the person who came to speak was always cheerful, without a trace of impatience.

I saw him behind his back and speak softly to the shopkeeper. "What's the matter, if you have something to say, don't delay my business."

The shopkeeper's attitude is still the same, and it hasn't changed at all. "Something, something. Very important thing! “

The visitor emphasized it several times, and it was very solemn and authentic. Listening to the ears of the onlookers, I suddenly felt refreshed.

"What else do you have important things to do?"

The shopkeeper was not impressed by him. On the contrary, he said with some disdain in his tone, "I'm busy, and I have to do business." "Well, that's right, where did you get your business here," the man sniffed, "I can see clearly, wasn't there just one person who was buying medicine and leaving at this moment?" “

I heard him say something strange, and walked a short distance to look back. Looking at the back, it was a man dressed in ordinary clothes.

The gaze lingered on his back for a few seconds, and I deduced that the man was probably in his forties, and unsurprisingly a resident of the town.

The tone of voice when he spoke sounded like someone the shopkeeper knew.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was ridiculed by someone for business, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, and it is estimated that he will have to fight later.

No matter what the topic of conversation between the two people revolves around, in short, the entanglement between them has nothing to do with me.

I didn't have much curiosity, and I came to this pharmacy to buy the medicine I wanted.

Now that I have bought it, I took my medicine bag and left down the street.

When I was walking down the street. Thinking about the conversation I had with the pharmacy shopkeeper just now, I think it's quite interesting to think about it.

It's interesting, but there's something wrong with it.

Something was wrong with the middle-aged man who entered the door.

I have met countless people, and I have seen a basket of people who have practiced their families. But the guy just now

His movements seem to be a little faster.

It's not a skill that ordinary people can have, at least it's practiced. It's easy to come to the conclusion that the body is flexible.

Nanhua Town. There are all kinds of people, and I met a practitioner. Actually, it's not surprising.

This episode didn't keep me tangled for too long, because there were so many things I had to worry about.

There are a lot of things on my mind, and I don't have time to take care of them for the time being, and in my opinion, it's just a scene that I came across by chance.

If you hadn't stopped buying medicine, you wouldn't have met it at all.

I walked slowly in the direction of the inn, and by this time I might have something to eat.

Before leaving the inn, I remember the young man told me that the cook stayed late for lunch and dinner, in order to take care of the guests.

Guests staying at the hotel have to eat the food cooked by their chef directly in the store, and the price is much cheaper than the restaurant outside.

It is convenient to stay in the inn and dine

I walked past the tea stalls along the street and stopped to ask for a hot cup of tea.

It was a very cold day, and the business of the tea stalls on the street was not inferior to the stalls in the market.

When you take a cup of hot tea, you suddenly feel warm all over.

In fact, the better effect of keeping out the cold should be wine.

It's a pity that I'm worried that I'm in a different place, and I'm still drunk alone, so I don't dare to try it casually.

The tea stalls on the street are always the most frequented, and those people stop and go, coming and going in a hurry.

At the stall where I was drinking tea alone, there were no less than three or four people stopping around me.

The most numerous of them are people who have come down from the market, carrying burdens and skins on their backs.

Those who have more money, of course, can buy what they like, and they can't envy it.

As I drank my tea, I looked at the street scene and pedestrians with faint eyes, and the people in the carriage stopped.

It was not the extravagant carriage that large families ride, but a cart that transported goods.

Look, I should go to the market to restock.

Last night, I heard the innkeeper tell me that some of the guests staying at their inn were indeed here for the market in the north of Nanhua Town.

Most of those people were mountain people, but they brought a lot of goods, so they had to find a foothold in Nanhua Town first.

Usually when you enter the town, you choose an inn at a reasonable price.

Usually mountain people like this come in groups of three or four to drive a carriage.

Some of them are not the first time to return to the inn where I am staying temporarily, and they are all familiar mountain people who are familiar to the innkeeper.

When I settled down at the inn, I had to take turns guarding the goods at night.

Especially recently, many people in the town have been nervous about thieves and stealing.

If you leave the goods in the courtyard of the inn, you are afraid that you will wake up with less quantity.

The price of a leather is not cheap.

The price of a truckload of goods also determines the harvest of several mountain families in a year.

Being on duty at night is essential in order to put yourself at ease.

Usually the next day is to go to the Zhenbei Market. They would have two of them set up a stall at the market first, bringing only a small number of samples.

The liveliness of the bazaar. As mentioned earlier, I don't need to expand on it here. In short, if a customer is interested in the goods, they will negotiate the price.

It is a guest who sincerely wants to buy, and then he will go to the inn to pick up the remaining goods.

To sum up, it can be summed up simply that the big head stays in the inn and the small head is used to set up a stall.

However, there are some exceptions, such as when you settle down at the inn, there are guests from the national capital.

The goods are ready-made, and if the mountain people and the merchants can negotiate the price. Even the next day's booth fee can be saved, and you can trade directly in the inn.

As I stood by the tea stall, I saw that the passengers who stopped to drink tea were among the mountain people in the inn's shopkeeper's mouth.

They also went to the direction of the Zhenbei Market to make deliveries.

As I came out of the teahouse, I caught a glimpse of the adjacent side of the most lively trading street, with carriages almost all parked in the clearing.

The guests who negotiated the price at the stall in front of them followed the mountain people who set up the stalls to the side of the car to see the goods.

I took a sip of hot tea, and the lady of the tea stall came up to me and said in a kind tone: "If you don't drink enough, add more, it's too cold." ”

I nodded and walked to the side of the lee.

A passer-by stopped and hurriedly asked for a bowl of tea and drank it in a big gulp.

He paused. He asked the person who had untied a large pile of things on his back and stopped by the tea stall, "You also came down from the Zhenbei Market?" ”

The man asked for tea, then nodded and said, "The price is lower this year, it's almost the end of the year, buy more and bring it back." ”

The two of them chatted casually.

One of them suddenly said, "Master Wang heard that it is in the mountains near Nanhua Town. I didn't expect this year's leather to sell at this price. ”

I understand what he means, the war has affected the market business, but the price is still a little higher than expected.

The one who answered glanced at him. Then he said in a nonchalant tone: "What if Master Wang comes?" ”

"If you want to fight a war, it will be fought in the Northland, where can a small place like Nanhua Town spread so quickly?" He groaned. "It's not a short time to get here."

He paused. continued: "According to me, there is an impact, there are many fewer merchants from the north this year, and there are fewer good furs, and the price will not fall too much. “

Well, he has a lot of sense. "Oh, what do you say?" The guests drinking tea at the tea stall also looked at him with flashing eyes, and suddenly interjected when he paused.

From the angle from which I was standing, the inquiring tea guest looked at the speaker for a moment.

A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he engaged in their conversation, even if the topic sounded equally appealing to unrelated others. "The best goods in the market in Nanhua Town are from the north," the man said after thinking about it, "and it is definitely not from the people in the nearby mountains that we can see in the market." ”

"There's a big difference," the man emphasized, "and it's the furs from the Northland that really sell for the highest prices." “

The same fur, you get what you pay for, and the climate is different, and things are still different. "The color and texture of those from the nearby mountains are much worse than those from the north."

I looked at the person who was speaking, listened to him seriously, and immediately lowered my head and thought.

No wonder!

According to what they said, it seems that the bargaining merchant I met at the market earlier knew the secret, so he stared at the stalls set up by the mountain people near Nanhua Town.

They were able to bargain with the goods they delivered.

If it had been shipped directly to the Northland merchants, there might have been no hope of lowering the price.

The most critical question is, after the merchant bought these goods in Nanhua Town, and transported them to the national capital, or even in the south of Xilan, will he explain the production so clearly?

Was the cargo from the north or hunted in the mountains around Nanhua Town? Or will it only be said in general terms that Chengdu was shipped from the Northlands?

I don't see it, it's probably the latter.

If you don't buy it from someone who knows how to buy it, it's easy to be cheated.

I heard whispers around me, and I knew that someone wanted to go with me.

I finished my tea at the tea stall and was about to leave, when my eyes swept over the street I had just walked through, and two people were pushed and shoved out of the small pharmacy.

When I looked closely, the one in the back was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and the one in front was naturally an unwelcome guest.

The two of them saw that the situation had completely collapsed, and the quarrel was very unpleasant.

The one who was pushed out of the shop, his face did not change, he patted the dust on his body slightly, and folded into the alley next to him in a flash.

I retracted my gaze and continued along the road.

I always had in my hand the small paper bag that the pharmacy manager had given me, which was the medicine powder I had bought improvisedly in the pharmacy.

The herbs in my hand can be mixed with a few of the herbs I bought in the inn.

Because I've been away for a lot of time, I've been putting a lot of thought into disguise.

As for the purpose, naturally there is no need to spend more pen and ink, because it is obvious!

The other streets of Nanhua Town are lively and lively, which is much better than the area around the market in the north of the town.

I walked all the way, at least I didn't see any congestion.

I thought about waiting until I got to the inn and asked the young man, he knew better about the price of the furs sold by the mountain people, and even if he didn't know, the innkeeper might not know the market.

It's one thing to hear it in the market, it's another thing to see the price in the local population.

I don't have to worry about the origin of the goods, but it doesn't hurt to know more about it

As I approached the inn, I looked around the lobby on the ground floor.

Seeing that there were many more customers sitting there eating than in the morning, it seemed that business was picking up slightly.

What did the guy tell me last night?

He said that before the end of the year, there would always be more guests, and it seemed that they were right again.

Having been in town for years, you know the rules here.

The young man sat by a table of guests and talked to them, as I had seen when I went out in the morning.

He is good at chatting, so it is easy to mingle with the guests who live in the hotel, and it is a sense of seeing each other.

When he looked up and saw me enter the door, the young man greeted the guests at the table, greeted me and whispered to me, "Go to the market and buy a hat?!" ”

I was slightly stunned, and there was a bit of a joke in his tone when he spoke, indicating that he was a familiar guest who would say that.

He lit a fire for me last night, which is very familiar.

I couldn't help it, thought about it and smiled: "This hat wasn't bought with money, it was given by someone else." ”

Isn't it, if it weren't for the aunt who suddenly appeared in a similar set, I wouldn't have had a chance to get a free hat.

But I also put in the labor, at least I opened a prescription for her, which can be regarded as worthwhile.

"Don't see the right thing in the market?"

The young man smiled exaggeratedly and asked me again.

I shook my head: "I can see it, but I don't have enough money in my pocket to buy it!" ”

As if he had something to say, he led me to a table against the wall and sat down before saying, "As I mentioned to you, many of our guests here do business" (to be continued). )
