Chapter 900: Tucker
"I said Lao Zhu, you obviously already know that you need to be dewormed to enter the 100,000 mountains, you are a Chinese medicine practitioner, why don't you match yourself? Don't tell me you can't! Hong Xiao had some strange questions and answers.
"Of course I will!"
Zhu Zhishan replied proudly, and then continued: "If I come by myself, I will definitely be worthy, but this time it is different, come with you, just buy it directly, anyway, you will pay!" ”
"I ...... You ......"
Hong Xiao was completely defeated by Zhu Zhishan's shamelessness.
This town is really similar to the ancient town.
Maybe it's because it's too far away from the outside world, so a lot of things are still very primitive.
However, although the town is ancient, the things you buy are super modern, and there are things in the big shopping malls in the first-tier cities.
It's just that the types of things here are all in the mountains, and there are no high-end luxury goods for sale here.
Hong Xiao and Zhu Zhishan stopped and stopped on the road, but they didn't buy anything.
Soon, Hong Xiao discovered one thing, the price in this town, that is called expensive, it is simply outrageously expensive.
It's exactly the same thing, and the items here are about three times as large as those in big city shopping malls.
You must know that there are already a lot of profits in those shopping malls, and here, it is completely profiteering!
In this regard, Zhu Zhishan gave his own explanation.
"You can't complain that the things sold by others are expensive, but there are too many people who buy, everyone knows that you have to pass through here to score 100,000 mountains, a lot of things, you have to buy, even if they are more expensive, people still have to buy, in this case, the merchant naturally has to raise the price.
And this place is already quite remote, the road that the two of us have walked is close, but that road is not easy to walk, if you want to transport goods, you still have to take another road.
Many times, the things in this are moved in manually, and the labor cost here is very expensive, so it is understandable that the things sold are more expensive. ”
After Zhu Zhishan said this, Hong Xiao really felt that what he said made some sense.
In these years, it's really like this.
If you can earn more, why make less, this is not what a person who does business should do at all.
Anyway, it's the first time I've come, and I don't have a lot of things to buy, and more importantly, I have money, so Hong Xiao doesn't care very much.
Seeing that Hong Xiao recognized his words, Zhu Zhishan nodded, and then continued to wander around the town.
Not long after, under the pull of Zhu Zhishan, the two did not go directly to buy medicine, but came to a tea stall and sat and drank tea.
The tea stall here is like a TV series, and there are still many tea drinkers at this time.
"Didn't you say that you bought medicine, why did you still drink tea, and the tea here is too bad, and the price is so high!?" Drinking tea, Hong Xiao asked out loud.
"Just your IQ?" Zhu Zhishan glanced at Hong Xiao with disdain, and opened his mouth to say, "You won't be able to do business at first glance, there are some things, that's not to be in a hurry!" ”
Hong Xiao was speechless.
If I don't know how to do business, how did I make that money?
Hong Xiao suddenly felt that he should tell that guy how rich he was, and then how he made money, which should scare this guy!
"Hong Xiao, have you seen it, today, there are a lot of people in this town, when I came here a few times before, there were not so many people, and many of these people are ancient martial artists, tell me, what is their purpose?"
"Could it be that it's all for the Star Fruit and the Star Grass?" Hong Xiao asked rhetorically.
Hong Xiao naturally found that there were many ancient warriors in this town, and some of them were also relatively strong.
This town leads to the 100,000 Mountains, and generally speaking, this town is always lively, and there are always many people who want to go to the 100,000 Mountains.
But this time, there were obviously a lot more people here than usual, and their purpose was the same as Hong Xiao's, that is, for Xingchen Grass and Xingchen Fruit.
"Even if you are smart, this time the Xingchen Grass and Xingchen Fruit were born, and there are many people who know about it, and they are all here for it, so it is not easy to get the Xingchen Grass and Xingchen Fruit!" Zhu Zhishan said.
"There are more people here these days, those small traders obviously know, and the place where we sit is those who want to go into the 100,000 mountains often sit, seeing us sitting here, many small merchants and vendors who have no stalls, but also buy things will definitely find them, these people often have a lot of good things in their hands, let's wait for him to find the door!"
Hearing this, Hong Xiao smiled bitterly, he really didn't understand the market.
Since this is the case, then Hong Xiao is relieved, let's stop drinking tea!
The two continued to drink tea.
"Alas, old Zhu? You kid has arrived, why don't you support me! ”
Just as Hong Xiao was waiting for the person selling the medicine to come up and sell it, a middle-aged man suddenly walked over, pointed at Zhu Zhishan and shouted.
"Tucker?"
Zhu Zhishan was stunned for a moment, then stood up very enthusiastically and hugged each other, and then sat down together.
Seeing this, Hong Xiao looked at this person.
This person is a burly middle-aged man, with a dark complexion, and a dagger wrapped in animal skin pinned to his waist, and at a glance he looks like a member of the ethnic minority.
At the same time, Hong Xiao also sensed that this person was an ancient martial arts cultivator, and his strength was not low.
It turned out to be at least the peak of the late congenital stage.
"Lao Zhu, why didn't you tell me when you kid came, fortunately I came out to see you, otherwise I would have really been wrong." Tucker opened his mouth.
"Haha, I thought it would take you a few days to get there! I didn't expect it to be so fast. Zhu Zhishan nodded.
"After getting your news, I set off as soon as possible, I arrived here three days ago, I still thought, if you don't come again, I'll go to Huacheng to find you, fortunately I didn't go, otherwise I would have missed it." Tucker said with a laugh out loud.
This Tucker is supposed to be a minority, but just by the appearance of the clothes, it is not obvious at all.
"Hong Xiao, let me introduce you, this is Tucker, my good friend, who needed Tucker's help when he went to the 100,000 Mountains at a time, so I had already greeted him in advance and made an appointment to meet here, I thought he hadn't arrived, but I didn't expect him to come." Zhu Zhishan introduced Hong Xiao.
"Tucker, this is Hong Xiao, this time I want to help him!"
"Hello, Tucker, I'm Hong Xiao, and I need to trouble you this time." Hong Xiao said politely.
Since he was here to help, Hong Xiao naturally had to be polite.
Tucker shook hands with Hong Xiao, then shook his head and said: "You're welcome, I've been friends with Lao Zhu for many years, he asked me for help, I definitely won't postpone it, besides, this time Xingchen Guo was born, and there are many people who want to go, and I also came to join in the fun, as for whether I can help anything, I can't guarantee it." ”
This Tucker looks rough, but his mind is still very delicate, and he speaks very well.
Zhu Zhishan is not a casual person, he is still very relieved to do things.
Since Zhu Zhishan asked Tucker to help him, it means that there must be something special about him.
In this regard, although Hong Xiao will not ask, he also knows it.
The old man was naturally even happier to meet, and this Tucker was also very skilled in speaking or something, at least it sounded very pleasant to the ear.
And while Tucker was talking, Hong Xiao kept looking at his face, paying attention to his expression, and couldn't see any contrived appearance at all.
Tucker is obviously a perennial person who travels from south to north, especially in southern Xinjiang, he is very familiar with it, no matter what everyone says, there is almost nothing he doesn't know.
Hong Xiao asked a few difficult questions from time to time, and Tucker could answer them one by one without even thinking about it.
Just when everyone was talking happily, a young man came to everyone.
The young man was wearing a black practice uniform, which looked like he was some years old, and he wore an octagonal hat on his head with a small tug.
This dress made Hong Xiao stunned.
What kind of dress is this? It looks a little nondescript, at least Hong Xiao knows, the costumes of any ethnic group are not like this.
However, the young man always had a smile on his face, and he was also good-looking, so he still looked quite pleasing to the eye.
For the young man who suddenly appeared, Zhu Zhishan and Tucker did not have any surprised expressions on their faces, as if they had long known that he would definitely come back.
And when Hong Xiao saw this, he looked at a bag that looked like a package in this kid's hand, and he understood.
This young man is the small merchant and vendor that Zhu Zhishan said before, and what he is holding on his mobile phone is what he wants to sell.
It's just that I don't know what this guy is selling, whether it's the medicinal powder that Zhu Zhishan wants to sell.
Young people have obviously been doing this business for some years, and they seem to be very skilled.
In this regard, Zhu Zhishan and Tucker are obviously not interested, what they are really interested in is whether the things in this guy's hands are what they want.
If not, Zhu Zhishan and Tucker would not have bothered him at all.
On the contrary, Hong Xiao is still quite interested in this kid, and wants to see what he wants to sell and how he wants to sell it!
"Hello to a few people!"
As soon as the young man came up, he immediately raised his hand and clenched his fist at the three of them with a smile, then bowed his waist, made a respectful gesture, and said, "The three of you seem to want to enter the 100,000 mountains, right?" ”
This young man can still listen and speak, and the people who come here are going to the 100,000 mountains in every ten years, so there will hardly be any mistakes when he speaks like this.
And Zhu Zhishan Hao Tucker obviously knew such a trick, but he didn't poke it, and nodded slightly.
When the young man saw Zhu Zhishan and Tucker nodding, he suddenly felt that there was a drama in the next thing, so he worked harder.
"Several, it shouldn't be the first time you have entered this 100,000 mountain, you should know a lot about this 100,000 mountain, there is everything in this mountain, especially all kinds of poisonous insects, it is impossible to prevent it at all, I know that the three are masters, they are all ordinary people, but the poisonous insects in this mountain are too powerful, I advise you to buy some insect repellent powder, what do you think?"
This young man spoke very well, and when he was promoting poisonous insect powder, he also praised Hong Xiao and the others.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
As soon as this young man said this, at least, Hong Xiao and the three of them would not have a good attitude and bad attitude.
Face is mutual, you give me face, I give you face, it's normal.
Looking at the reaction of Hong Xiao and the others, there seemed to be no problem, and the young man took out a paper bag from his bag.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can guarantee that with this insect repellent powder, I can guarantee that you will have a smooth journey and will not be attacked by any insects in the 100,000 mountains."
"Oh?"
Zhu Zhishan hesitated, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me." ”
With that, he took the paper bag from the young man's hand.
didn't open it, Zhu Zhishan directly put the purse in front of his nose and sniffed it gently.
Zhu Zhishan is a traditional Chinese medicine, and he knows the most about these medicinal powders, even if he doesn't open them, just smell them like this, and he knows whether it has any effect.
