Chapter 38: Rise to Fame
In fact, the shopkeeper didn't tell the truth, it is true that the spirit meat is expensive, but it has not reached the point of ten yuan stones, and the first-order seven-fold demon beast has a market of about eight yuan. He casually raised the price, originally wanting to test Wu Bencao's reaction to see if this kid was weak and timid.
He still couldn't believe that a young man with an unattractive appearance could really have such a big deal.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bencao was rich and rich, he didn't blink his eyes, and in the face of the sky-high price of ten yuan, he still bought all the demon beasts in one go.
If it is replaced by an ordinary butcher, he will definitely be ecstatic if he can sell his goods at a high price, but the spirit butcher shop is a high-end industry, and this shopkeeper is an old Jianghu, who knows the stakes well, not only did not secretly rejoice, but felt embarrassed.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ask me again, which family are you the son of?" If you have a good relationship with our host, for the sake of friendship, the small shop should give a few points of profit." ”
His heart was empty.
In Goose City, most of the children of rich families who can spend money like this come from the three major families, and their power backgrounds are very deep. If he sees that the buyer is young and does not understand the market, he will cheat and make profits, and after being known by the elders of the other party, he will definitely be furious.
Therefore, he was very calm, and he didn't dare to make this ill-gotten gain until he had a thorough understanding of Wu's herbs.
Seeing that he insisted on asking, Wu Bencao no longer concealed it and replied: "My name is Wu Bencao, and I am the owner of Wormwood Bar. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "You are the famous Boss Wu? The legendary Soup of Hope is your masterpiece?"
In the past few days, the soup of hope has caused a sensation in the whole city and has become famous, from the wealthy nobles to the common people in the market, all of whom are discussing Wu Bencao, a genius chef who was born out of nowhere. Until now, who still doesn't know the name of Wu Materia Medica.
If you rank a topic list, he and Hope Soup definitely top the list.
And this shopkeeper, although he is not a rich man, is not a common man, and he is much more well-informed. He had heard that Ma Zhongyong led people to attack Wormwood Bar at night, but he was killed on the street, and almost all the troops were wiped out, proving that Wu Bencao's heritage is unfathomable.
Under such circumstances, he still dares to deceive Wu Bencao, isn't this looking for death? Once Wu Bencao knows the truth later, he will inevitably come to him to settle accounts, and this is an obvious thing.
The shopkeeper's legs were a little weak, how dare he despise him anymore, and sneered: "It turns out that Boss Wu is here in person! It is a great honor for the small shop to be able to provide you with spiritual meat, and we have to show a little sincerity." Well, I'll take you 20 yuan!"
The true price of the three-headed demon beast was 22 yuan stones, and he was afraid of offending this big celebrity and causing more trouble, so he was willing to make a loss-making deal.
Wu Bencao was secretly surprised, I just bid 24 yuan, and he took the initiative to reduce it to 20 yuan, could it be that this is the celebrity effect?
"Accept the love of the shopkeeper, then 20 yuan deal, if you regret it later, don't blame me. ”
He took out the money bag and handed the Yuan Shi to the treasurer.
The shopkeeper said in his heart, don't blame me for cheating you in the future, so thank God, and replied: "How can you regret it! If you let the outside world know that the legendary soup of hope is made of the spiritual flesh of the shop, we will stain you with a lot of light!"
He thought that Wu Bencao came to buy meat to buy ingredients.
Wu Bencao smiled faintly.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Boss Wu, despite your orders, what should we do with these three demon beasts?" should we tie them up and carry them to your mansion directly, or will we slaughter them first and then send them over?"
Wu Bencao said: "Don't be so troublesome. I have a cat and love to eat spirit meat, just let the guy carry it to the enclosure. The reason why I want to buy it alive is that I am afraid that after you slaughter, a lot of essence and blood will be lost, which is a pity. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and stroked the little greasy in his arms.
The little guy shouted happily, "Tired~"
Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper thought he had misheard, "What did you say, let this kitten eat those three-headed demon beasts?"
Wu Bencao nodded.
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Greasy and was dumbfounded for a while. Throwing out a huge amount of money for twenty yuan stones, it was actually just to buy snacks for his pets? Sure enough, poverty limited his imagination.
How did he know that thanks to this well-behaved kitten, Wu Bencao was able to suppress the Feng family and defeat the Ma family. In the future, I will have to rely on it to take care of the family, let alone twenty yuan, even if it is fifty yuan, Wu Bencao will act decisively and will not feel distressed.
The system is right, it's good, and he's good.
Xiao Ai sat next to him, saw that the shopkeeper's expression was very exaggerated, blinked, and asked innocently, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and said worriedly: "Boss Wu doesn't know, those two Qingfeng wolves and a saber-toothed tiger are extremely ferocious, in order to catch him, we have four masters injured, and one of them lost his arm......"
He didn't say any more, the meaning was obvious.
Just capturing them would cost the Spirit Butcher a heavy price, and it would definitely take a lot of trouble to slaughter them. Throwing a kitten into it, isn't that the same as feeding the beast? Just kidding, who eats whom?
Wu Bencao didn't want to explain more, and said: "Don't worry, I asked you to send the cat in, you just do as you are told." No matter what happens, the responsibility is mine, and you won't be to blame. ”
Xiao Yu signed a soul contract with him, could understand the meaning of his words, knew that he was belittled by outsiders, and felt angry, so he suddenly stood up, glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, opened his mouth, and showed the two pairs of cold and sharp fangs.
"Reverse!"
This wild momentum erupted, like a lion patrolling the territory, shocking the beasts, causing the shopkeeper to fall backwards in a panic, and fell to the ground, his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Wu Bencao waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I've already paid, Xiao Greasy, you can go by yourself and have a good time." ”
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Ti had already sensed the breath of the three beasts, and when he saw that his master agreed, he jumped up in the air and rushed to the backyard happily, his figure was as fast as lightning, and it was fleeting.
The shopkeeper sat on the ground, unable to give up, and was stunned by Xiao Yu's newly revealed strength. Not only him, but even Xiao Ai opened his mouth wide, looking at the direction in which it disappeared, feeling incredible.
"Brother, Xiao Greasy is so fierce?!"
She has always used Xiao Greasy as a playmate, thinking that it is a cute cat, and it is only now that she has seen its hideous face.
Wu Bencao patted her on the shoulder, unwilling to reveal too much in front of outsiders, and turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Are you still worried that those three beasts will hurt it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head quickly, deeply aware of the stupidity of his concerns.
He had palpitations in his heart, and sighed secretly: "No wonder there are so many masters of the Ma family, if you can't kill him, you will be slaughtered...... Even his cat is so terrible, who can hurt him? If I provoke him, this cat alone will make no one in the store survive!"
He got up from the ground, looked ashamed, and said honestly: "Boss Wu, don't be angry when you say it." At first, I didn't know Taishan, thinking that you were so foolish, I casually said that a head of ten yuan, in fact, it sells for up to eight yuan. ”
It is better to take the initiative to say it on the spot than to find out later after Wu Materia Medica.
He was afraid that Wu Bencao would be angry, so he continued to explain: "However, I swear, the final transaction price will never have moisture, 20 yuan stones, I don't dare to pit you at all!"
Wu Bencao was stunned, no wonder the shopkeeper later took the initiative to reduce the price, it turned out that after figuring out his identity, he felt scared. It seems that he has defeated the three major families in a row, and he has established his prestige, and he can be regarded as the hegemon of Goose City.
"The matter of a few yuan stones, it's not a big problem, if you are willing to confess, I won't pursue it anymore. I like to keep a low profile, and you have to keep it a secret for me about the kitten's strength. ”
The shopkeeper was relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you Boss Wu for your magnanimity, regardless of previous suspicions." As an apology, at this goose killing conference, I support wormwood, and vote for you!"
Wu Bencao was stunned for a moment, "Goose killing conference?"
