Chapter 15: The Profiteers
When he heard Shopkeeper Fang say this, he didn't make a sound, just put the tray aside. I stepped forward and dragged the basket and saw that there were wild vegetables on it, so I didn't throw it away, but just took it out and put it on the ground.
Then he took a round plaque next to him and poured out the yellow essence in the back basket. He carefully selected, and from time to time picked it up and sniffed it. After the inspection, he saw the shopkeeper nodding to him. So he got up, went into a room, took out a scale, put the yellow essence in it, and began to weigh it.
"Shopkeeper, a total of eight catties and nine taels." That's called the rest of his life, and said to the other party's shopkeeper.
Lin Xiaoman's face changed, although she didn't know how many catties it was, but the yellow essence in this basket was more than ten catties. This boy looks honest, but he doesn't look like a profiteer.
The shopkeeper cleared his throat, and then said to Chen with a smile: "Mrs. Chen, you are also an old customer of our store." This medicinal herb will be accepted by our store. Because you are an unprepared fresh herb, the price we can give is not very high. ”
Chen glanced at Lichun, after all, these things were dug by children, if it was too low, it would not be cost-effective! Then he asked cautiously, "I don't know how much Shopkeeper Fang can give?" ”
Shopkeeper Fang glanced sideways at the yellow essence that was said to have been poured into the plaque, and said to Chen, "I can only give you eighty wen." ”
Chen and Lin Xiaoman listened, and the two of them had different moods. Chen only felt that this price was actually about the same as the salary she received for the job she introduced to Mrs. Lizheng, and couldn't help but take a breath, and her face changed.
Lin Xiaoman scolded the old man and the young man in his heart, and the profiteer reached this point. She could clearly see just now that the shopkeeper was very satisfied with these yellow essences, but he gave such a low price, and he would definitely not sell them in this pharmacy in the future, and she didn't know if the medicine that Chen grabbed in this pharmacy was also so cheating.
Shopkeeper Fang saw that Chen's face had changed several times, thinking that she was not satisfied with the price, and suddenly said a little anxiously: "Mrs. Chen, you also know that my pharmacy is a child's undeceptive, although this medicinal material is a little better than ordinary medicinal materials, but I will give you eighty wen a catty, which is already the highest!" In this way, I also know that there are two children in your family who are sick, and I will give you a hundred yuan a catty, no matter how much it is, it will be gone! For the rest of your life, go get a bunch of money. ”
Chen and Lin Xiaoman were dumbfounded by this divine turn, so they only went to the shopkeeper Fang to untie a hanging of money, counted one hundred and forty and put it in their money bags, tied the rest of the money and put it in the back basket, and then arched their hands to Chen and said: "Mrs. Chen, you count and see, I will calculate a whole number for you, a total of eight hundred and sixty yuan." ”
Chen Shi reacted at this time, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Fang is the shopkeeper to do things, we are very relieved." That, then we're leaving! Lichun listened to Chen's words, and hurriedly covered the wild vegetables on the ground on the copper coin.
The three of them hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave, but before they could take two steps, they heard the voice of the shopkeeper from behind: "Wait! ”
Chen and Lichun's foreheads suddenly began to flow out of their foreheads. Only Lin Xiaoman knows that this medicinal material is estimated to be sold cheaply! However, now at this price, she is already very satisfied. In fact, even if the shopkeeper only gave eighty wen just now, she would only sell it.
Chen stiffened his neck and turned his head and asked cautiously, "Is there anything else?" After all, the money given by the shopkeeper is not a small amount of money, and if you regret it, it is also possible.
Shopkeeper Fang didn't pay attention to anything else, seeing that they were in such a hurry to leave, he couldn't help but stop them and said, "If there is still this thing in the future, you can all dig it up and sell it to me!" However, the price of this herb will fluctuate, so you should be mentally prepared. ”
When Chen heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Oops! I promised again and again.
When the three of them walked out of the pharmacy and looked back at the pharmacy, Chen and Lichun only felt that they were dreaming. Looking around, Chen pulled Lichun and Lin Xiaoman and walked towards the corner.
Make sure that there is no one around, then open the back basket, pick up the hanging money with trembling hands, count and count, yes, more than 800 copper coins, each one is not a lot. I didn't expect those roots-like things to be so valuable?
Lichun also smiled excitedly and clapped his hands and said to Chen: "Mother, mother, let's go home and dig more, then we won't have to worry about running out of food!" ”
Chen hurriedly booed, "Tap, tap!" Then he looked around to make sure that no one was there, so he smiled and put the money in the basket, and then covered it tightly with wild vegetables!
Lin Xiaoman only felt that his head was full of black lines, and he had only such a small amount of money, so he didn't need to make such a fuss! However, I don't know why, seeing them smiling so happily, her mood couldn't help but improve.
"Lichun, wait a minute, get some money, you buy some rice and noodles to take home. Remember to put the rest of the money in the things you buy so that no one can see it! Chen thought about the situation at home and said to Lichun.
She squatted down and took out the hanging money again, counted a hundred yuan, and handed it to Lichun. Then tie the copper coin and put it tightly!
"Lichun, you can put this money away! Buy half a bucket of rice and go home, after you go home, go to see if there is any, if not, forget it, if there is, put it first, and wait for my mother to come back! Chen's repeated admonitions.
She looked up at the sky, she had just come over, and it had been a long time since she was selling. If you don't go back, it is estimated that the main family will talk about it!
Lichun hugged the basket and said to Chen: "Mother, this money is too much, and it is not safe for me and my sister to carry it alone." Why don't you take it, and we'll take the rest to buy something. When you get home, you'll be able to buy more delicious food. ”
Chen thought about it, but shook his head. Xiang Lichun said: "I work for people now, and it's not convenient to take so much money, you can bring it back and don't let others find out." Then he turned around and waved at the sisters.
When he couldn't see Chen, Lichun put on his back and said to Lin Xiaoman: "Let's go, little sister, sister will take you to buy delicious food." After speaking, he happily pulled Lin Xiaoman and ran towards the market.
She once accompanied Chen to the market to buy things, and there were a lot of delicious things in it, but Chen had no money, and she was sensible and never asked Chen. But now, the little sister is with her! Now that she has the money, she can buy the things she thinks are delicious for her little sister to eat.
Lin Xiaoman was dragged all the way by her to an old man selling sugar gourds and stopped, and then she looked at the red sugar gourd and swallowed hard. said to Lin Xiaoman: "Little sister, do you want to eat?" Big sister buys it for you! ”
