Chapter Ninety-Nine: Los Angeles Sells Tigers
It's been three days since that day of trouble, the family's house has been repaired, the courtyard wall has been raised, and only the outside protection is left behind to rush to work. The stone wall of Dongzhuang www.biquge.info Bi Fun Pavilion also went for two days, and most of the people in the clan did not let them come back, not because they were unwilling, but because they let their brothers and sisters recuperate at home, maybe it was their guilt.
Also, yesterday officially entered winter, and there was some Xiaoice hail, so after a busy day at home as usual, the family agreed that today the eldest brother took her to Los Angeles to sell the tigers in the space, the third brother went to the river to catch fish, and the eldest sister and second brother went to the field to pick wild vegetables.
It was her first time in Los Angeles, and she got up early and rented a carriage, so it was almost nine o'clock in the morning when she arrived. On the way, she and her eldest brother had already eaten the breakfast brought by the family, and they did not need to buy any more, and after selling a few wild things, they found a remote corner and put the dissected tiger carcass in the space in a specially woven large basket, and covered it with fine firewood.
This time they only planned to sell one, and the other one in the empty space was also dissected together last night, and the family discussed selling it later, but she wanted to keep it.
The tiger's whole body is full of treasures, which can be used to replenish the body of the family, and those that cannot be used temporarily can also be saved for later. This is a great supplement, and you can't buy it with money.
It's best to go to a pharmacy to sell this, and this time they still chose to go to Jishitang in Los Angeles, mainly because of its good reputation. Unlike Wuli Town, it is more prosperous and lively, with a variety of shops and small stalls and vendors. It is mainly divided into two streets, north and south, the south street is in the downtown area, and the north street is in the downtown area.
Zhang Jiahang carried a big basket on his back and led Zhang Yue'er to Jishitang on South Street, it was time for lunch, there were not many people, there was only one account room on the counter to settle accounts, and two guys were grabbing medicine. After looking at it for a while, he stopped a young man of twelve or thirteen years old and asked in a low voice, "This guy, are you in charge?" ”
The guy who was stopped looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing an old cloth and did not look down on him, and said politely: "Little brother, our shopkeeper is not here at this time, and he will not come back until the afternoon, if you are in a hurry, you can find us to sit in the court." ”
The shopkeeper is mainly responsible for the affairs of the store, and the doctor is mainly in charge of the consultation, and the two cooperate with each other to supervise and manage the business in the store.
Zhang Jiahang thought about it, took out ten cents from his pocket and quietly put it in his hand, and continued: "You can buy tea and drink this, I have something for you to tell me." You can help me ask the doctor sitting in the hall here, whether you accept tiger whips, tiger galls and the like here. "Originally, I wanted to talk about a whole tiger, but I was afraid that this guy would be scared, so I decided to go smaller.
The little guy who was stuffed with some copper plates smiled and squinted, "Little brother, just call me Amin." It's on me, I'm going inside and helping you now. "It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of a few words, whether you collect it or not, you can get ten cents for such a effortless thing, a lot.
After a while, the young man came out. "Little brother, I just asked, what you just said is all accepted in our store, and Dr. Xu from our store asked you to go in to negotiate. Come with me first! ”
The two brothers and sisters of the Zhang family were taken inside, it was a separate pharmacy, and there was a large square mahogany table with some medicinal herbs and books on it, and a coffee table and tables and chairs below, and hot tea and snacks were placed on the coffee table.
"Little brother, you sit here with this little sister and wait for a while, Doctor Xu will come later, the tea and snacks here are freshly served, you are free." With that, he closed the door and left on his own.
The brother and sister who remained in the house stared wide-eyed, and instead of taking the food from the table, they sat and waited. It took about five or six minutes before the young man's mouth came over.
"I'm sorry, little brother, I left temporarily because of something just now. I heard the guys in the store say, you have a tiger whip and tiger guts to sell, if there is, our store will definitely accept it, and the price is fair, and the price will never be lowered. ”
Dr. Xu is about fifty years old and looks very capable. As soon as he entered, he was caught by the unusually large bamboo basket placed next to the coffee table, and then surprised for a moment by the two children standing up in the room.
I really don't blame him, the people who have been dealing with him in business and trading are either the same age, or older than him, or even younger, at least adults. But the two children in the house are at most fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one is about four or five years old.
Zhang Jiahang didn't miss the surprise in Dr. Xu's eyes, and stepped forward and said politely: "Doctor Xu, the kid is polite." I have what you just said, and I can also be the master of selling them to Jishitang, but there is a request, I hope not to let outsiders know that I sold these things, you can rest assured, the source of these things is definitely legitimate. ”
"Yes, as long as the goods in your hands are genuine, I agree. Maybe you don't know, we have our own rules. Two of them are, one is not to ask where the buying and selling comes from; The second is the confidentiality of the customers who buy and sell. ”
"Anyone who buys or sells high-priced medicinal herbs or exotic treasures or rare birds and beasts, as long as it is rare, even if the customer does not ask for it, Jishitang will keep the customer's information confidential. If it is a request from the customer, we also promise unconditionally, but if you say it yourself or someone finds out that Jishitang is not responsible. ”
It was the first time he had heard of it, and they used to just buy medicine and see a doctor, and they didn't engage in this kind of business. Although it cannot be eliminated, it has allowed them to get the greatest protection as a customer. No wonder the guy led them here.
"Doctor Xu, in that case, I'll show you the goods. The things I'm talking about are in this big basket, and inside is a tiger that has just been hunted for a short time, and I have already dissected it all when I am at home, so you can take whatever you want, and I will sell the rest elsewhere. So saying, he moved the big basket to the open space in the house, and took away the fine wood on it, and the tiger body inside was spread out in front of him.
"Quick, quick, quick, take out the tiger skin and lay it on the ground, and put the tiger meat and internal organs on the side. You can rest assured, as long as the goods are good, the price will not let you suffer. "Doctor Xu, who has been in charge of Jishitang for many years, can see at a glance that this is an adult tiger that has just died not long ago, not to mention two hundred catties, and the blood is still fresh.
Looking at the tiger body on the ground, Dr. Xu squatted and touched it himself. Except for the missing eye on the tiger's head and the fatal wound of an arrow piercing the head, the integrity of the other parts of the tiger was kept very intact, and the dissection was also in place, with almost no damage. Even the tiger skin only has a few superficial arrow wound marks on the head, which has little impact.
Speaking of which, there are not many people around who have enough ability to kill tigers, but the ones sent to Jishitang to sell have never been as complete and neat as this time, and they have just died. I don't know who hunted this kid, but the deadly penetration of that arrow is not something that ordinary hunters can hunt.
The more I watched it, the more satisfied I became, and after reading it, I asked the Zhang brothers and sisters to sit and rest, and then excitedly asked two reliable old guys to come into the house to help.
