Chapter 36 Purchases
"I've helped you pack up the medicine you used to compress your legs in the past few days, remember to bring it when you go out, the medicinal materials have been boiled into ointment, you just need to put it on every night."
"Hmm."
Xu Huai replied lightly, since his leg had improved significantly, Bai Jiujiu no longer covered up the matter of treating his leg disease. It's just that she excused herself by saying that it was written on the medical skills she saw by chance in the Bai family before, and she originally wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect it to really work.
The Bai family has a certain background, and as the concubine of the Bai family, although she can't touch the core of the family, some ancient books are also reasonable for her to see by chance. So the people of the Xu family did not doubt it much.
Wang saw that Xu Huaiqing was resolute, and he no longer persuaded him, and after explaining it, he turned around and left.
When Liu Fu helped Xu Huaiqing clean up his things, he found the ointment he had boiled, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
"The white girl is really sweet."
Liu Fu is one of Bai Jiujiu's shopkeepers, and because he is profitable, he follows Xu Huaiqing instead. After all, it's not good to deal with those old foxes in Silk Village.
Hearing Bai Jiujiu being praised, the corners of Xu Huaiqing's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
"Hurry up, or we'll be too late by the time we get to the next town."
"Eh, okay."
Liu Fu knew that he didn't like people to talk about his private affairs, so he focused on catching the car and stopped talking. They hurried and finally got to where they were going before dark.
"I'm sorry, we're closed, so you'd better come back tomorrow."
The young man in the silk village looked impatiently at the people outside the door, and raised his hand to close the door.
Liu Fu stepped forward with a smile and vaguely stuffed a piece of broken silver into the other party.
"This little brother, we are here to pick up the goods, please inform your shopkeeper."
The young man secretly cushioned the weight of the broken silver in his hand, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. glanced them up and down, and when he saw that the clothes Xu Huaiqing was wearing behind him were quite good, he didn't dare to slack off.
"Then you wait for me here, and I'll go in and inform the shopkeeper."
After a while, a chubby middle-aged man came out with the young man, this middle-aged man who was not good-looking, was the shopkeeper of this silk village.
"Xu Gongzi, I thought you wouldn't be here today."
Although the shopkeeper Hu has a round face and looks particularly kind, he is shrewd and has a lot of ghost ideas.
Xu Huaiqing took a few steps forward and arched his hand towards the other party.
"The wheels on the road were broken, so it took some time."
In fact, Xu Huaiqing and the others have been moving at a normal speed, and the reason why he said this is just that he saw the other party's embarrassment, and he saw the move.
"Oh~ I see, but it's too late today, if you want to get the goods, you might as well wait for tomorrow."
Sure enough, although the shopkeeper Hu was smiling, the words that came out of his mouth were not good, and even Liu Fu heard his obvious eviction order, let alone Xu Huaiqing.
"Hu Shopkeeper ......"
"Okay."
Without waiting for Liu Fu to say anything, Xu Huaiqing interrupted him categorically. Hearing that the other party didn't retreat, a trace of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper Hu, but he was also an old fox who had been floating in the mall for so many years, so he was only surprised for a moment, and then adjusted his facial expression.
I saw that Xu Huaiqing did not raise any objections, but only told Liu Fu to hand over the manifest to Shopkeeper Hu this time.
Shopkeeper Hu didn't take the bill from Liu Fu's hand, but only bowed slightly.
"Give me the manifest tomorrow."
Liu Fu felt that the attitude of this shopkeeper was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange, so he looked at Xu Huaiqing with an inquiring look. Seeing that Xu Huaiqing nodded slightly, after making a vague look at him, he didn't raise any objections and put the bill of goods away again.
It was too late, and they didn't get the goods, so they found an inn to stay.
But originally, even if they got the goods, they planned to rest here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning, after all, with such a large number of goods, it was not possible to travel overnight.
After arriving at the inn and eating, Liu Fu finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Young Master, don't you think He's attitude towards us today is a little strange? The last time we came, he was very welcoming to us and kept us to eat, but this time it ......."
Xu Huaiqing gently put the teacup on the table, and then snorted casually.
"The last time we came to help him solve a problem, of course he was going to rush to slap us up. And this time, heh, I guess tomorrow the shopkeeper Hu may talk to us about raising the price. ”
"This ...... If the shopkeeper really wants to raise the price, it will inevitably be too unconscionable, before his silk pile in the warehouse could not be sold, we helped him sell it. ”
Liu Fu was very angry when he heard his words, and at the same time very confused.
"But Childe, will he really raise the price?"
Although the attitude towards them today and the shopkeeper is not as enthusiastic as the previous times, they are the big customers of the shopkeeper Hu, and the shopkeeper Hu should not raise the price at will.
Xu Huaiqing did not answer him directly, but asked an irrelevant question.
"We were at the door of the Silk Village just now, did you notice the road in front of them?"
"Nope." Liu Fu shook his head honestly, who would pay attention to the road on the ground if he was fine, but he recalled, "The road in front of their store seems to be quite dirty, and when I came back, I found that my trousers were covered in mud." ”
"Have you ever wondered what the reason is?" Xu Huaiqing thoughtfully nodded on the table and said.
Liu Fu thought about it for a long time before he said helplessly, "I can't think of any special reason, but you must know it, childe." ”
"It's just rained in the past few days, and there is a lot of mud in front of their store, so it means that there are a lot of people coming and going."
Liu Fu didn't think there was anything strange about this.
"The white girl's embroidery has helped his silk to make a name, and there are more guests, so there is more mud at the door, what is so strange."
"But have you ever observed that there are a lot of wheel prints on the mud at the door, and these wheel prints are specially examined, and it is obvious that the car is loaded with heavy objects."
Liu Fu is not stupid, he has already understood when he hears this.
"This shows that during this time, many people came to Hu's shopkeeper to buy silk, and now his silk is no longer sold, so he wants to raise the price."
Speaking of this, he suddenly became anxious, "Childe, then what should we do now?" ”
