Chapter 16: Unfortunately, he was a lame man

"Boss, half a catty of raw honey, one tael of agarwood incense**, half a penny of borneol, half a tael of chicken tongue incense, and half a tael of tonka incense."

Lin Wanbai walked in and said to the slap who was knocking on the abacus in a very skillful tone.

Seeing that the business was coming, the shopkeeper raised his head and squinted at Lin Wanbai, and said with a smile: "What else does the little lady want?"

They are all people who can do business, and after the shopkeeper neatly packed the things that Lin Wanbai wanted, he continued to ask.

You must know that the Lin family has a unique fragrance, from planting spices to drying to smoking, it has never been the hands of outsiders. So the business of these small shops is a little bleak.

Now that I have met a big customer, how can I not ask a few more words.

Lin Wanbai heard him ask, his eyes turned around a few times, deliberately lowered his voice, turned around the store a few times, and said: "Naturally, there are more, but well, I think about shopping around, maybe it will be better, right, shopkeeper." ”

Seeing that the little sheep was about to run away, the shopkeeper was anxious, the little lady in front of him was a guest for three days, if she ran away, would she have to wait for three more days?

"Little lady, rest assured, I am definitely the cheapest and the best quality here, my Gui Chunxing is a living signboard, and Tong Su is not bullied."

The shopkeeper patted his chest and said iron-clad.

But Lin Wanbai looked around, it was tattered, not much better than her dilapidated house, this is also a living signboard?

She originally liked this place, but it was dilapidated enough, and the price must not be expensive.

Seeing that Lin Wanbai didn't speak, the shopkeeper got anxious, took out several pieces of yellow sandalwood and Long Yanxiang in a row, and said: "Since the little lady can come to buy spices, it proves that the little lady is an expert. ”

Lin Wanbai pretended to step forward and pinched it, and sniffed it again, the shopkeeper really said it wrong, she was a layman.

"Okay."

Well, well, you have to do a full set of plays.

"You also said that the Lin family is dominant, and other people's businesses are also a lot, if the shopkeeper can be counted as cheaper, it will be good for everyone."

She didn't have much money in her pocket, and she didn't dare to guarantee whether the concocted ointment could be sold, and the lower the purchase price, the better.

When the shopkeeper saw her say this, he thought for a while, then raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how much the little lady wants." ”

Lin Wanbai took out a piece of paper and wrote down the required raw materials and dosage.

The shopkeeper just glanced at it, and his eyes on Lin Wanbai suddenly changed, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, from the raw materials and dosage written on this paper, he met a master today.

"Little lady, wait, I'll let the little guy pick it up."

The shopkeeper called the shopkeeper, whispered a few words, and then turned around and made a pot of good tea, and invited Lin Wanbai to sit down.

The shopkeeper is willing to make good tea, which means that Lin Wanbai is treated as a guest, and it is rare for a woman of fifteen or sixteen to have this treatment.

Lin Wanbai sat down with a smile and took a sip, a person like her, who is used to drinking coffee, can't tell the difference between good and bad tea, but she still said complimentally: "Good tea." ”

"It's the first-class Qi Hong, the little lady knows the goods."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was more and more appreciative and admired herself, Lin Wanbai was a little weak-hearted, but in fact, she didn't understand anything.

The shopkeeper took two sips, put his hand on the table, clicked a few times, and asked in a slightly heavy tone: "I have been in the spice business for decades, and I can be said to have read countless people. ”

The shopkeeper is also an old man, and when he spoke, he carefully looked at Lin Wanbai's complexion.

Lin Wanbai is not stupid, and he was suddenly seen to be fine. She smiled, leaned back slightly, raised her head, looked at the shopkeeper and said directly: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to go around in circles with me, everyone knows that the Lin family's spices are powerful, so they can't afford to send someone to tempt, I sincerely want to buy some spices, if the shopkeeper has doubts in his heart, I will never stay for long." ”

After she finished speaking, she immediately stood up and wanted to go out, but when the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly stopped her with a smile on his face and laughed embarrassedly.

This girl has a clear heart, and she can't take advantage of going around in circles with her.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's just keep an extra eye, or the half of the chicken tongue incense and the tonka incense will be regarded as reparation?"

The shopkeeper has lived for decades, and it is not wrong to look at people, if the girl in front of her is not from the Lin family, with the selection of materials on her prescription, she is definitely not an ordinary family.

If he can climb up, maybe his crumbling and broken shop will be able to get up.

"Insincere."

Lin Wanbai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Except for the one that is sent, there will be a nine-percent discount." ”

"Ah, my aunt, we have to be kind, we can't do a loss-making business."

As if he had been stepped on his toes, the shopkeeper suddenly jumped up and said, and hurriedly cried about his difficulty.

In fact, in the past, this was also a century-old shop, and when spices were at their peak, there was an endless stream of customers coming in and out, but more than ten years ago, Lin Hongan took over the family business and suppressed almost the entire spice business in the capital.

If the shopkeeper was not reluctant to bear the family business handed down from his ancestors, he would not have struggled to support it.

Lin Wanbai is not a person who has to make inches, but she doesn't have much silver in her pocket, and no one can guarantee whether the sesame oil and balm she makes can be sold for money.

If the price of raw materials can be reduced, the price will be reduced.

"I don't bully honest people, if the shopkeeper feels that he has lost money, then I have to find the next one."

After Lin Wanbai finished speaking, he made a gesture to go out.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper stomped his foot and shouted behind the curtain: "Have you picked up all the goods, the guests are leaving." ”

The little guy trotted out with bags of goods, because Lin Wanbai wanted a lot of miscellaneous things, and they were all calculated in terms of money taels, so it was very troublesome when picking goods.

"Little lady, look at it, the quantity is okay. Our Guichun line is a century-old store, not afraid of comparing goods, and let it be inspected. ”

The shopkeeper opened a few bags at random and asked Lin Wanbai to inspect the goods.

Lin Wanbai didn't even look at it, just let people wrap it up, and then looked at the shopkeeper and said, "How much." ”

It's just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who is so atmospheric that she doesn't even look at it. But the shopkeeper didn't know, in fact, Lin Wanbai didn't understand it at all, and she couldn't tell the difference between the pepper and the black pepper in front of her.

She did this just to build momentum for herself and scare people.

After calculating the money, Lin Wanbai put all the things in the bamboo basket, and then walked out, Aunt Zhao was at home alone, and the wall was half broken, she couldn't rest assured after all.

"Little lady, if you think it's good, you can help me in the future."

The shopkeeper sent Lin Wanbai out and said with his hands folded. He was already in his fifties, and in ancient times, he was also an old man, with a lean body, a long gray beard, and a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

Lin Wanbai turned his head and nodded at him, looking at this down-and-out and dilapidated century-old shop, and felt melancholy in his heart.

After walking a few steps, I heard the shopkeeper behind me, and I all sighed and said, "What a good girl, but unfortunately she is a lame." ”

Hearing this, Lin Wanbai almost fell to the ground with a stone, she shouted in her heart, she is not lame, she just broke her foot, she will get better in a few days, and then she will come and jump in front of the shopkeeper.
