Chapter 40: Dealing with Profiteers

Lin Qian's eyes were sharp, at the beginning, the shopkeeper of the medical hall first took out some ginseng that was not old enough, or took the ginseng that was full of vintage, but it was boiled and dried, and she saw through it, and only spent five taels of silver to buy two ten-year ginseng.

Mu Luan smiled lightly throughout the whole process, no matter whether Lin Qian threatened the shopkeeper or bargained, she was so cute.

Lin Qian put the two ginseng sticks into the cloth bag, and walked briskly, "Mu Luan, it's time for the Prime Minister's medical hall to open!" ”

Mu Luan said, "Chen Ran said that if you ask someone to calculate the auspicious time, it will be at three o'clock in the morning of the day after tomorrow, how about we take a day off the day after tomorrow?" ”

Lin Qian turned her head to meet his doting eyes, turned around shyly, and said, "Okay, let's go and cheer up when the time comes." ”

With his hand on the cloth bag, he already has a plan in his heart.

In a short time, five or six fierce men with clubs chased them in the direction they had left, and scared away many people walking on the road, led by the shopkeeper of the infirmary.

Under the order of the shopkeeper, the two of them were surrounded, and they came forward panting with their waists, pointing at Lin Qian and saying, "Little girl, but I found you, you stole my two ginsengs, hurry up and hand them over!" ”

Lin Qian subconsciously covered her bag with one hand, pulled Mu Luan's sleeve with the other, and said, "I gave money, and you are willing to sell it to me at a low price!" ”

Mu Luan took the little girl behind her and stroked her big palm on her hand.

The shopkeeper pointed to the hands of the two and said, "Since you didn't steal it, what are you doing with your bag in a humble heart?" ”

Lin Qian poked her head out and said, "I'm afraid you'll rob me of my silver!" ”

The shopkeeper pinched his beard on his upper lip and smiled evilly, "I'll rob you of your silver?" You stole two of my hundred-year-old ginseng, but only gave me a mere five taels, and if you don't make up the remaining 1,000 taels today, don't think about leaving! ”

Lin Qian pointed at him angrily and said, "Why don't you grab it, just your two ten-year-old broken ginseng are still defective, dare to buy them so expensive, you profiteer!" ”

The shopkeeper was so angry that his beard curled and said, "I showed you two hundred-year-old ginseng that you dropped and wrapped it into ten years, you are embarrassed to say that I am a profiteer, come and call me!" ”

Five or six people rushed up together, Mu Luan hit four, and Lin Qian dealt with one.

Lin Qian approached the thug, grabbed his thick arm sideways, threw a beautiful over-the-shoulder wrestle, picked up the stick in his hand, knocked him unconscious with a heavy weight, threw a circle in the air and carried it on his shoulder, took out two ten-year-old ginseng from his bag, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, you are unreasonable, I want to be reasonable with you." ”

Mu Luan knocked the other four to the ground, dusted off the unnecessary dust on his body, and stood upright.

I don't know why there is a kingly air that reigns over the world, squinting at the shopkeeper who is sweating profusely and his legs are shaking like chaff.

Lin Qian held up two ten-year-old ginseng and said loudly, "Brother and sister-in-law, uncle and aunt passing by, can someone tell the year of ginseng, if you can return my innocence, I will give these two ginseng to him!" ”

Mu Luan grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and stood behind Lin Qian.

Knowing that the thugs were not coming for them, naturally there were people onlookers, listening to their debates, watching a wonderful fight, and even cheering for them in the crowd.

Lin Qian shouted crisply, and many people were ready to move, because it was given for free, but they couldn't distinguish the quality of ginseng.

Li Su happened to pass by, raised his hand in the crowd, and said, "I'm coming!" ”

Everyone gave way one after another, looking at the white-clothed divine doctor who was victorious of snow, and their eyes were full of trust.

Lin Qian and Li Su made brief eye contact for a moment, but the people around them did not notice,

Li Su took two ginseng sticks from Lin Qian's hand, looked at them carefully, and said lightly, "Ten years of ginseng, whether it is the appearance or the smell, it is a lower grade. Little girl, how much did you buy this? ”

Lin Qian stretched out her five fingers and said, "Five taels." ”

Before Li Su could speak, someone in the crowd of onlookers spoke, "Little girl, you have been deceived!" ”

"These two ginseng sticks are only worth three taels at most!" Li Su returned the two ginseng sticks to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian waved the stick, lightly pressed it against the shopkeeper's throat, squinted and said, "Did you hear that?" first slandered me for your hundred-year-old ginseng, and deceived me of the silver, and returned me two taels! ”

The shopkeeper felt like a monkey, being watched by others, his face was not very good, he secretly glanced at the crowd of onlookers, took off his shoes and took out two taels of silver from the soles of his shoes.

Lin Qian immediately pinched her nose, took the two taels with a handkerchief with disgust, poked them twice with a stick, and said, "Shopkeeper, your feet are too smelly, it is recommended to pay more attention to hygiene!" ”

Mu Luan kept holding his breath, and only when he walked out of the crowd did he take a hard breath of fresh air and slowly exhale it out.

Li Su turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, contemptible people, I am fortunate to be the sitting doctor of Jimin Hall, the day after tomorrow is the opening day, and I hope you will come to cheer!" ”

The onlookers praised you one after another, Lin Qian threw away the stick, gave him two ginseng sticks, and said with a smile, "I said I would give it to my benefactor!" ”

Lin Qian and Mu Luan joined and left, Mu Luan also left, and the crowd of onlookers surrounded the shopkeeper of the medical hall, and the rotten vegetable leaves that he didn't know where they came from smashed at him one after another, and the profiteers came up and down.

Li Su caught up with Lin Qian and Mu Luan, but still returned the two ginseng sticks to Lin Qian, and said, "Little girl, I can't accept anything I can't take." ”

Lin Qian took one and said, "That's half good." Speaking of which, this is the third time you've stepped in to help. ”

Li Su was puzzled and said, "Where did you come from the third time?" ”

Lin Qian didn't know how to explain it, so she simply didn't say anything, stuffed the ginseng into the bag, and said, "The day after tomorrow, have you invited your sweetheart?" ”

Li Su scratched the back of his head shyly and said, "I went to propose marriage today, and her father agreed." ”

Lin Qian clapped her hands a little happily and said, "That's great, then there will be a happy wine to drink!" ”

Li Su said, "She was happy and quiet, and she didn't want to make a big fuss, so she said that she would choose a good day and an auspicious day to go to the Yuelao Temple to worship heaven and earth and make a vow." ”

Lin Qian said, "Could it be that you met in the Yuelao Temple?" ”

Li Su nodded and turned to the other side in shame.

Mu Luan took the little girl to his side as if he had declared his sovereignty.

Lin Qian looked at him, felt the breath of a hungry wolf, grabbed his hand, brought it from his waist to his shoulder, and smiled flatteringly.

This person doesn't know what stimulation she was under, but she always likes to hug her in the past two days.

The two said that they should not sleep more than the pillow in the middle, but she would be woken up in the middle of the night every time, and the culprit would hug her with the quilt into his quilt and breathe evenly, sleep soundly, take away his hands, and her feet will come up, and so on, repeatedly.

In the end, Lin Qian compromised, because he was not honest in sleeping.

During the day, whenever he stretched out his hand, she would put his hand on her shoulder, posing as a good brother.

Lin Qian casually put the bag on the table, took some tools, reached out to find ginseng, and went out to the door, "Mother, where is my ginseng?" ”
