Chapter 40: Negotiation (Happy New Year's Day)

After entering the county seat, several people went straight to Baicaotang, Xu Guanghua and Xu Qingyan's father and daughter were all worried about that person's injury, Xu Qingyan was not only worried about that person's injury, but also about the seeds.

After entering the Baicao Hall, Xu Guanghua handed the painkiller he brought to the shopkeeper Wang, and asked, "Shopkeeper, how was that person yesterday?" But I woke up. ”

"I woke up, I drank some porridge in the morning, and I just finished taking medicine, do you want to go and see it?"

"That's what I mean, please ask the shopkeeper to lead the way."

Several people followed the shopkeeper to the backyard of the pharmacy, where there were three side rooms, except for one where the shopkeeper rested, and the other two were for the sick to stay overnight.

The king's treasurer led them to the west room, and as soon as they entered, they saw the man sitting on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

After seeing them coming, she said a series of words that people couldn't understand excitedly, but Xu Qingyan understood, what the man said was, "You are here, thank you for saving me." ”

Thinking that the next conversation was inconvenient for people to know, Xu Qingyan said to her father: "Dad, Ah Wen and Ah Jun finally came to the city, you take them to go shopping, about the seed, I want to talk to this person alone." ”

As soon as Xu Guanghua heard this, he knew that his daughter didn't want to expose that she could speak foreign languages, and Xu Qingyan had already explained the matter to them when she went back yesterday.

Yesterday on the street, Ah Yan once said the word immortal, and he guessed that this matter might be related to immortals, and sure enough, Ah Yan's explanation was: On the day the immortal gave away the book, by the way, the foreign dialect was also passed on to her.

Although Xu Qingyan's excuse is very clumsy, and even full of loopholes. But Xu Guanghua believes it, and the Xu family also believes it!

It's really because the ancients were 100% pious and trusted in things like gods and Buddhas. Xu Qingyan couldn't help but secretly rejoice, superstition also has the benefits of superstition, if you try this sentence in modern times, you can see if anyone believes it.

"Okay, I'll take them out for a walk, you gesture to others and ask, if you can't ask, forget it." These words were obviously addressed to the king's treasurer behind him

When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly realized, and he said, how can this girl communicate with that person, is it possible that she can still understand what the person is saying, but she didn't think that she was gesticulating, which is right.

Xu Qingyan secretly praised his father in her heart, and she was finally clever once, and she still said obediently on her face: "I know, Dad." ”

Xu Guanghua nodded and left with the two brothers, and the shopkeeper Wang saw that it was not good to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went to the pharmacy in front.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Xu Qingyan whispered to the man in English.

"How's your injury, does it still hurt?"

"Much better, thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be dead!"

"No thanks, what should you do?"

"By the way, what are the goods you brought this time?" Although Xu Qingyan already knew, she had to be treated as ignorant at this time, and yesterday's behavior was also out of helplessness and forced to do so. After all, they don't know the person, if the person is bringing dangerous goods or contraband.......

"The seeds of our country, although they are common with us, I heard that there are no in your country. So I thought I'd bring some with me and see if I could sell them, and if I did, I'd buy some more satin cloth and stuff and stuff to go back. Our textiles are not as good as yours, and the cloth is very expensive. ”

"Oh, can you tell me what seeds you're brought?"

"There were peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, sunflowers and watermelons. I wanted to bring something else, but it was my first time going out for business, and I didn't dare to bring too much for fear that I wouldn't be able to sell. “

"Don't worry, I've heard about these seeds of yours, and I'm very interested, but you brought a little less this time, can you go back and help me get more."

"It's great that you like my seeds." The man was thrilled and felt that his work was recognized. Yesterday I stood on the street for a day, and no one cared. He was frustrated for a long time.

"Well, your seeds are good, I like them very much, but why did you only bring this seed out, it's not easy to go out to the sea, don't you lose money with this seed?

The man said abruptly: "Actually, I am also the first time to go through the drop, I actually don't have any money, I can only buy this goods first, I came out this time mainly to see, what goods are sold best here over there, and next time I will bring more good-selling goods." But I didn't want to come empty-handed, so I brought some seeds to try first. ”

After listening to this, Xu Qingyan nodded, "Then how much do you plan to sell these seeds?" ”

"I don't know how the money is calculated on your side, I just want to go back in exchange for five muslins."

Xu Qingyan calculated in her heart when she heard this, at this time, the muslin cloth was 500 wen a horse, and five horses were two taels of silver, which was equivalent to 2,500 yuan in the previous life, and those seeds added up to only fifty catties, and it was indeed expensive to sell for 2,000 yuan. And potatoes and sweet potatoes alone account for thirty catties, and if this thing was placed in the previous life, it would be less than two hundred yuan.

But who said that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have these seeds now, scarce is expensive, and it is an imported product that has crossed the ocean, so it makes sense to be more expensive.

"Okay, I'll take all these seeds you brought, and I'll give you five muslin tomorrow."

"That's great, thank you kind people, by the way, how much did it cost me to see a doctor, I will give you the goods."

Xu Qingyan thought about it and decided to tell the truth, although she didn't plan to calculate the medicine money with him, but she also wanted this person to know about her efforts.

"It cost a total of two taels of silver, that is, four pieces of cotton cloth, but I didn't pay it alone, the shopkeeper of this pharmacy paid half of the medicine money. When you see him, you have to thank him, and as for my medicine, you don't need to pay for it, and if you really think of me, just bring me more seeds next time, no matter what kind of variety, as long as you have it, bring me a little. ”

"How good is this, thank you so much, although I really want to repay you, but I don't have anything around me to repay, when I return to China, I will definitely bring you more seeds." When the man heard this, he was very moved, and hurriedly promised to bring more seeds next time.

"By the way, what's your name, I don't know what to call you after talking about it for so long."

"My name is Ah Yan, you can call me Ah Yan, what's your name?"

"Alvin, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ayan." After saying that, she stretched out her hand, Xu Qingyan naturally shook hands with him, and finally found a modern feeling.

"Alvin, how much can you exchange for five muslin on your side, like the seeds you brought this time."

Although Alvin didn't know what Xu Qingyan meant by asking, he still replied honestly: "You can change it five times." ”

After hearing this, Xu Qingyan smacked her tongue secretly, no wonder Alvin said that in their country, cloth is very expensive, and it is really expensive.

"And how long does it take you to come and go?"

"I don't know how long it will take me to get back, but it took me five days to get here."

Xu Qingyan thought about it, and conservatively estimated that it would take him ten days to come and go. And that's just the way, it will definitely take him a few days to get home to raise seeds, and it will take at least 20 days to a month to come back again.

"Well, you can take care of yourself here for a few more days, and when you have recovered from your injuries, you will return home as soon as possible, and then get more potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn seeds. Bring me 200 pounds of each, and you can take care of the rest of the seeds yourself. ”

"And I can pay a deposit of ten taels of silver in advance, which is twenty pieces of muslin, for you to bring back."

"Really, that's great! Thank you Ayan, you were the first person to buy my goods, thank you. ”

"You're welcome, your seed is what I need, let's just take what we need."

After talking to Alvin, Xu Qingyan stopped disturbing him to rest, said hello, and went out of the backyard and went to the front pharmacy.
