Chapter 2 Uncle Zhong
This fat man who is rich, Lin Xin generally calls him Uncle Lao Zhong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt is here that the Thunder Dragon Gang is in charge of the shopkeeper of the Stone Village branch, since he can be appointed to be the shopkeeper, of course, his ability to deal with things is beyond doubt.
Although Lin Xin's heart is far more mature than that of ordinary children, after all, he is still a person who has not experienced strong winds and waves. At the beginning, I was really deceived by the appearance of this old loyal uncle, thinking that he was the kind of loyal person.
Lin Xin once picked a two or three hundred years of ginseng at the edge of the deep mountain, of course, it was mixed in some one or twenty years old mountain ginseng, and this kind of mountain ginseng looks similar, if it is not for the experienced people to distinguish the medicine, it is difficult to see the difference, plus Lin Xin has just started to collect medicine, and he is not too familiar with the medicinal materials. And Uncle Lao Zhong is an old man, his eyes are very vicious, he estimated that he could see it at a glance at the time, but he also pretended not to know that he bought it according to ordinary ginseng, but the price was slightly higher than usual, Lin Xin was very happy at first, thinking that Uncle Lao Zhong was taking care of him, and then somehow, this matter was poked out by Uncle Lao Zhong himself after drinking, Lin Xin is not a stupid person, thinking back to some details of the transaction at that time, he really saw some loopholes, but it was a long time ago, It is naturally impossible to settle accounts with him again, besides, the trading house also has its own rules, and the water spilled by the things sold, Lin Xin can only pinch his nose and admit that he is unlucky, and remind himself to be more careful in the future. That's when I got a better look at it.
.................
After Lin Xin took a sip of tea when he heard this, he smiled slightly, showed his white teeth and said: "Oh, Uncle Zhong, this time I was lucky enough, I really brought back some things, don't cheat me like before, I have been depressed for a long time." After speaking, he pretended to be aggrieved
"Cough, cough, people have stumbled, horses have stumbled, I just took a look at it at the time, and I didn't look very carefully, okay, is there anything good to bring back this time that I need to see?" The middle-aged fat man coughed dryly twice, and he didn't deny it, but he didn't want to make too much entanglement at this time, so he asked Lin Xinlai as soon as the topic changed.
"It's all in the medicine basket, look at it, I don't want to suffer any more." Lin Xin pursed his lips and pointed to the bamboo basket on the table and said.
"Oh, it looks like there's something really good." The fat man was a little interested in Lin Xin's appearance, took a pen and circled the ledger a few times, closed the ledger, and walked down the counter with a shy stomach. It seems that the left side is shaking and the right side is extremely clumsy, but in fact, Lin Xin has long known that he is also a practitioner with extremely high martial arts, but he has always been inconspicuous.
Uncle Lao Zhong opened the medicine basket and took a brief look at it, and began to look at it slowly, some just glanced at it, and some took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, but he shook his head silently. After half a cup of tea, the medicinal materials in the bamboo basket were all looked at one by one, but there was a deep groaning look on his face.
Lin Xin didn't bother anything anymore, and looked like a little adult sipping tea on the side.
After a while, it seemed that he had finished thinking about it, and Uncle Zhong said lightly: "There are seven or eight of these herbs that are twenty years old, I can count ten taels of silver for you, and these two strains of purple herb are only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but they are quite strange in medicinal use, I can calculate ten taels and two dollars of silver for you, and the last one is Jin Wanxiang, this herb is the main medicine with many high-quality prescriptions, but unfortunately the year is a little lower and only thirty-seven or eight years old, this grass is still mostly green and green, if it is even two or three years later, When it is completely transformed into pale silver, the value will soon be doubled, and I will give you nine taels of silver, how about this price. After finishing speaking, Uncle Zhong sighed slightly, wondering if he really felt sorry for this herb that was a little worse in age.
After hearing this, Lin Xin calculated slightly in his heart, and felt that there was not much difference from his budget, so he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, a total of twenty-nine taels of silver, two pillars, go to the counter and get the silver." Seeing that Lin Xin agreed, the slightly chubby middle-aged man smiled slightly, and gave an order to the little guy next to him who was sorting out the medicinal materials.
But Lin Xin interrupted with a roll of his eyes: "I'm not busy, Uncle Zhong, I feel that the true qi in my body has become much purer recently, and it seems that I am about to break through the current bottleneck." I don't know if you have any elixir here that will work on me. ā
"The essence and blood in the body are vigorous, the eyes are full of light, and the temples are slightly raised, it seems that the internal force has reached the realm of almost small success." The slightly chubby middle-aged man stared at Lin Xin for a while, and then continued, "But you also know that martial arts pay attention to courage and diligence, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the higher you go to the martial arts, the higher the value of the pills you need, I do have a few pills here that are suitable for you to use now, but the prices are different." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Xin meaningfully.
Lin Xin and Uncle Lao Zhong have not made a deal once or twice, and of course they know what they mean when they say this.
After thinking about it, he took out a money bag from his bosom and put it on the table, "Then I don't know what about adding these?" ā
The slightly chubby middle-aged man picked up the money bag and weighed it, then shook his head and said, "Plus although there are seventy or eighty taels on the table, it is far from enough to buy any of these pills." After hearing this, Uncle Zhong picked up a cup of tea next to him, took a sip, and said indifferently.
"Far from enough, I don't know how much is missing?" When Lin Xin heard this, his face showed undisguised disappointment, but he couldn't help but ask.
"The pill that can help you break through the bottleneck of the true qi is more than two hundred taels for the most small pill, and if you want the medicine to be better, the price will go up, you and I have traded many times, so I don't want to deceive you at this point, and in the past few years, although you have gained a good harvest, it is not enough to pay." The slightly chubby middle-aged man asked affirmatively.
"That's not what I can afford right now." This amount of money is really far more than Lin Xin expected.
But the chubby middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "It's just ......." "I looked like I wanted to say something and stopped.
"But what, Uncle Zhong, if you have anything to say, just say it at once." Lin Xin's heart moved, but he still had to pay more attention to this kind of old rivers and lakes, and he didn't show too much excitement.
"However, I have another elixir that can help you improve, although it is impossible to compare with Xiao Huandan, but the effect may be a little better, and the price is not expensive, I don't know if you are interested." The price is only twenty or three. After thinking about it for a while, Uncle Lao Zhong said like this.
"Oh, but there is no such cheap thing in the world, and most of them have other drawbacks, Uncle Zhong, you should finish talking about it together." After so many years of contact, Lin Xin naturally knew that there could be no such thing as pie in the sky.
"Hehe, you are smart, of course this kind of pill cannot be without defects, and my generation of martial arts practitioners, if you want to reach a higher realm, you need to have an indomitable spirit, only such a heart and unremitting efforts can go further in the martial arts, and my kind of pill can be refined on the basis of your existing foundation, and to really break through this layer, you must rely on continuous training to find that opportunity, the greater the pressure from the outside world, the greater the hope of breakthrough." When Uncle Lao Zhong said this, he had a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and when he talked about his real flaws, he understated it.
