Chapter 13: Laughter Blossoms

Tong Xiaowu remembered the blacklist that the strong man said just now, if he didn't sell it to them, the medicinal materials he picked would only rot in his hands in the future.

But if you sell it to them, isn't it just aiding the abuse?

They must often do this kind of deceptive thing, and they also maliciously lower prices, just because they are the only big local buyers of medicinal materials, so they bully and dominate the market like this, this is too much, right?

"I just don't sell it."

"You ......" The medicine boy flicked his sleeves and hurriedly ran back to find the shopkeeper, you must know that there is a big family looking for gastrodia now, and the shopkeeper is letting them pay attention to it.

I didn't expect that Steward Chen's strategy was not good, the little girl was not fooled, not only did she not sell it to them, but she even threatened to go home and plant it in the field? Isn't that a joke?

The medicine boy hurriedly came to the back store and told the shopkeeper Wu about it, and when the shopkeeper Wu heard that the other party was not fooled, he quickly got up and chased him out, where was Tong Xiaowu on the street.

Tong Xiaowu left Yicaotang and came to Shengyixing, and their store was on the side of the oblique road.

This time, she went directly to their shopkeeper, and the little medicine boy saw a fat woman in coarse cloth clothes standing at the door looking for the shopkeeper and didn't say anything, and went into the store to call someone.

After a while, a man who looked like an old man walked out, "Girl, do you have anything to do with the old man?" ”

"Shopkeeper, do you accept medicinal herbs?"

"I'm sorry girl, we have enough medicinal herbs this year......"

"What if it's gastrodia?" Tong Xiaowu didn't believe it, no one wanted this kind of thing.

"Gastrodia?"

"I take ......"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, the shopkeeper of Yicaotang Wu shouted, and he strode in, dragging a tray covered with a red cloth in his hand, and the red cloth was covered with silver.

"How about I collect your gastrodia for two taels of silver and a pound?"

Shopkeeper Li lowered his face when he heard this: "Shopkeeper Wu, it's not good for you to do this, right?" How can anyone come to someone's store to steal business, and besides, who in the medicine store in Ningyue Town doesn't know that the old lady of the county order family is now short of this medicinal herb, and is looking for it at a high price everywhere, you are doing this, it is a bit unauthentic. ”

Shopkeeper Wu was not angry at all, but laughed out loud, "Do business!" The one with the highest price has to be, this little girl, my slave was offended a lot just now, I hope you don't take it to heart, two taels of silver a catty, are you willing? ”

"I'll also give two taels!" Shopkeeper Li knew that the county commander's mother was now recuperating in Ningyue Town, and she was in urgent need of this medicinal material, although the northwest provincial capital also had it, but the fastest time would be two or three days before it could be delivered, and now the old lady was in a hurry.

And why shopkeeper Wu is willing to pay a more expensive price than before, the reason is very simple, this sycophant is absolutely useful.

"I'll give you three taels."

"I'll also give three taels."

"I'm out of four taels, Li is the shopkeeper, and the old lady of the county order family is my cousin." Shopkeeper Wu made a killer move.

Although Tong Xiaowu doesn't like the shopkeeper Wu of Yicaotang, she has already understood the current situation, and these two people are not asking her for anything else, but for gifts.

In that case, she just waited, no matter what his reason, she just had to sell it for a high price.

As for the awe-inspiring righteousness before, it no longer exists, and what she needs now is not to save the world, but to fill her stomach.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Li didn't make a sound, his face was embarrassed, and Shopkeeper Wu laughed happily: "Are you still raising the price?" ”

Shopkeeper Li sighed when he heard this, and waved his hand: "Okay, I don't want to, okay?" ”

"Ten taels and one pounds!" Tong Xiaowu suddenly spoke, she smiled on her face, and she looked proud, since you Wu shopkeeper is black, then I am darker than you, anyway, his family's money is not made in vain.

Shopkeeper Wu looked surprised, and looked at the little black girl in front of him carefully, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was a bold lord, "You...... You ......"

"Ten taels of silver a catty, all the gastrodia in my basket, if the shopkeeper Wu doesn't want to buy it, please go out, right?" Tong Xiaowu followed the example of his medicine boy, picked his chin, stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the door.

"You ......"

Shopkeeper Wu blew his beard angrily and stared, and Shopkeeper Li on the side touched his beard and laughed.

"Hahaha, okay, this little girl has courage, girl, no matter whether your gastrodia is sold to me today or not, I will accept your medicinal materials in the future, hahaha......"

"Little girl, do you know that the market price of gastrodia is only two taels of silver a catty, and you are still not satisfied with my four taels?" Shopkeeper Wu tried to pull down the price.

"Ten taels, or I won't sell it." Tong Xiaowu thought about it, if this Wu shopkeeper left, she would immediately sell Tianma to a Li shopkeeper, even if it was three taels of silver.

She is gambling now, betting that the shopkeeper Wu is reluctant to give up this opportunity to give gifts to the old lady of the county order.

Since he is the one who runs the pharmacy and is a relative of the old lady of the county order, he naturally wants to show it.

If he gave up this opportunity, and the shopkeeper Li took the gastrodia and sent it to the old lady, he would be slapped in the face, and what kind of medicine business he was doing was not enough to be embarrassed in front of the county order.

"You...... You...... Okay, ten taels is ten taels, that is, there is no gastrodia in our store these days, otherwise how could I ask for you, little girl, I tell you......"

"Don't talk about shopkeeper Wu, if you threaten me today, I'm afraid I'd rather take this Tianma back as a Dahlia seed, and I won't sell it to you......"

Tong Xiaowu interrupted the shopkeeper Wu who wanted to threaten, although she was dressed in coarse linen, but at this moment, there was a kind of domineering that she was not afraid of.

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha...... "The shopkeeper Li on the side smiled even more happily.

Shopkeeper Wu stabilized his mood, "Okay, Shangwei!" ”

Weigh one scale, five and a half pounds.

This time the shopkeeper Wu's face was even darker, I thought she was talking about one more pound of gastrodia in her hand, but I didn't expect her to have more than five pounds.

This is fifty-five taels of silver, which is equivalent to the salary of an adult medicine boy for more than three years, you must know that this will be the result, at that time, it is better not to deceive this little girl, and buy it directly at the market price of two taels of silver, wasting so much money in vain.

"Give the money, shopkeeper Wu, what else do you want? Or you buy half and I buy half? Shopkeeper Li knew that he would not leave a way back for others, so he said jokingly.

"I want it, fifty-five taels, I'll give ......" The sentence was almost said through gritted teeth.

Shopkeeper Wu brought a plate of silver mainly to show off, but he didn't expect it to be all spent, he held Tianma in both hands and glared at Tong Xiaowu angrily, turned around and flicked his sleeves and left

Tong Xiaowu looked at the silver ingots in his hand, his heart was about to jump out, he thought that he would be able to sell ten taels or eight taels, but he didn't expect to sell so much at once.
