Chapter 531: Black-Hearted Merchant

Now we all know that the price of notoginseng has risen, and everyone goes to the mountains to pick, because there are more people who pick medicines, people like them who often pick medicines, they can't pick much in a day, and there is no notoginseng in the nearby mountains, so Lu Xiaoxi will not pick it.

Gone too far, the danger is certain, always wandering around the medicinal materials market, she heard who took medicine and broke his legs and feet, broke his arm, and she didn't worry about the family, the money is not endless, always can't work hard to earn, if she can grasp the opportunity, this time thirty or forty taels of silver is definitely available.

"Xiaoxi, come to inquire about the price of Panax notoginseng again?" When the medicinal herb merchant saw Lu Xiaoxi, he already knew Lu Xiaoxi, who was neither humble nor arrogant in his life, and because he was optimistic, he smiled more, and everyone remembered this girl who loved to laugh.

"Well, let's inquire."

"Sell it, it's up to 300 wen a pound today, it's really an unprecedentedly high price." Medicinal herb merchant said.

Lu Xiaoxi knew that he had no malicious intent, but she calculated that there were still seven days, and seven days later would be the peak.

"Wait a little longer."

"Don't wait any longer, you won't have the price any longer, silly girl."

Lu Xiaoxi didn't explain too much, just smiled at the man in a friendly manner, "I didn't bring it with me if I wanted to sell it today." ”

Lu Xiaoxi knew that she didn't make much money this time, and the merchant who hoarded hundreds of catties of Panax notoginseng made a lot of money, and it was the businessman who fought with the person who sold her Panax notoginseng before.

Originally, each made their own money, but the only thing that Lu Xiaoxi couldn't stand was that this medicinal herb merchant was too black-hearted, of course he didn't just accept Sanqi, but also others, but he was like an adult to someone who came to sell medicinal materials at a younger age or older.

One of the old women, Lu Xiaoxi knows, her grandfather is sick in bed all the year round, and the burden of life is all on the body of an old woman, her sons don't care about the two of them, Lu Xiaoxi has never spoken to her in this life, these are all known in the previous life.

The old woman came to sell medicinal herbs again today, because she was old, her eyes were not good, and she couldn't read the scale, it was obviously three catties of medicinal herbs, and the black-hearted businessman Leng said that it was only one catty and eight taels.

The old woman is not a fool, "No, when I went out, I asked someone to weigh it for me, and he said three catties." ”

When the black-hearted merchant heard this, he shouted loudly: "Old woman, what do you mean, is it possible that I still lie to you about this thing, you can see for yourself, isn't this just a pound and eight taels?" ”

Everyone is busy with their own business, no one has seen it, and this kind of thing has long been strange, they are all doing business together, and they all know each other.

It is not uncommon to count some things less, but Lu Xiaoxi thinks that this person is too black-hearted, and three catties of things are counted as one catty and eight taels, and the old woman must be in a hurry to use the money.

The old woman is old, and she is a little shrunken when she is murdered by a man, "Then he can't lie to me." ”

"So you're saying I lied to you?" The man walked out and pushed the old woman, "What do you mean, old thing?" Look at it, I have hoarded so much notoginseng here, do you know how much notoginseng is a pound now? Three hundred Wen, I can send you this little money, let me tell you, don't lie to good people, otherwise I told you not to think about selling medicinal herbs in the future. ”

The old woman was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, if Lu Xiaoxi hadn't come over and helped her in time, she would definitely have fallen on her heels.

The man glanced at Lu Xiaoxi, saw that she was a thin girl, and didn't take it seriously, "Sell it or not, if you don't sell it, go aside, don't delay my business." ”

The old woman thought that she had to sell this little bit of medicinal herbs to catch the medicine for the old man, "Is it really a pound and eight taels?" You take a good look at it. ”

"Look at it, it's just such a little thing, I can't fool you, you say that you are so old, why don't you tell the truth." The man handed the scale rod around to people to see, "Big guy, look at it, it's only one pound and seven taels, I see that you are not young, so I will give you more calculations, but you are good, and you still slander me, pull it down, take it away, I won't accept who you like to go to whomever house." ”

In fact, Lu Xiaoxi saw clearly from the side, the man had already taken the medicinal materials to his bag, his movements were very fast, and he wanted to do this kind of thing less, and now he was already familiar with the road.

The old lady was also stunned, the matter was so big, other people's families probably didn't accept it, she turned around and thanked Lu Xiaoxi, and looked at the man aggrievedly, "Don't accept it, I just ask, child, I'm old and useless, don't be like me." ”

It's obviously not her fault, but she has to apologize to this black-hearted businessman, in her previous life, Lu Xiaoxi won't care if she sees it, more is better than less, but now she has been reborn, since she has seen this, there is no reason to ignore it.

"Mother-in-law, do you remember what your medicinal herbs were tied with?" Lu Xiaoxi asked.

The man's expression froze, and he glared at Lu Xiaoxi, "Dead girl, get out of the way, don't be nosy." ”

The old woman didn't know what Lu Xiaoxi meant, so she nodded, "I use red rope, I don't pick much every day, I'll tie a little bit with red rope when I do a little bit." ”

The eyes of the black-hearted merchant immediately saw the bundles of medicinal herbs he had stolen from the bag, and the red rope that had not yet been uncovered.

He was about to secretly uncover it, and there was no evidence, but as soon as the hand reached into the bag, someone grabbed it.

"What are you doing?" The man's voice was rough, but the movement was not small.

Lu Xiaoxi looked over and smiled, "Big brother, it's you!" ”

It turned out to be the man who sold it to Lu Xiaoxi Sanqi, and this man also had a holiday with the black-hearted businessman in front of him.

Whether it is whether the road is uneven or settles old accounts, but his arrival has given Lu Xiaoxi a few more chances of winning.

The man nodded, "I also came to see the price, but I saw someone bullying people here, I said boy, you are really embarrassed, the old man is a lot older, you are embarrassed to steal other people's things with a clear conscience, even if you bully a young person like us, you don't have a father and mother." ”

As he spoke, the man pulled his hand out, and he was holding a few small bundles of medicinal herbs tied with red strings in his hand, and the old lady recognized it as her own at a glance, "That's my thing, when did you take it?" ”

Of course, the black-hearted businessman had to quibble, "Who said it was yours, just because you have a red rope at home, can't others tie it with a red rope?" ”

The old lady quarreled with where his opponent was, and when she was excited, she couldn't speak, and it was impossible to argue with him with reason.

The tall man was also a little wrong, he looked at Lu Xiaoxi, but Lu Xiaoxi said very calmly: "Everyone does have the red rope, but this knot is not something that anyone can tie like this, big brother, take those bundles of medicinal herbs and compare them with the old woman's, and see if they are the same knots." ”

The old woman spent time in a fishing village when she was a child, and the knots she tied were different from those commonly used to find knots.

Her knot really doesn't know how to be tied by ordinary people, and under Lu Xiaoxi's reminder, the old woman also remembered, "Yes, that knot was tied by me, it's exactly the same, there are not so many coincidences, you just stole my things." ”

The black-hearted businessman glared at Lu Xiaoxi fiercely, "Stinky girl, you are everywhere, what is your business?" ”

"The road is uneven, can't it? Big brother is right, don't you have a father and mother yourself? You are embarrassed to lie to people at such an age, do you have a conscience? ”

The black-hearted businessman looked back at the Sanqi he had hoarded, and looked at Lu Xiaoxi with a sneer, as if he was provocatively saying, Lao Tzu is about to get rich, what do you want to do with your conscience.

Rich?

Lu Xiaoxi smiled back, which made people feel a little meaningful.

"Stinky girl, what do you want to do? I know you've also hoarded a little notoginseng, but you're only a few dozen pounds, can you compare it to mine? The black-hearted merchant said disdainfully.

"I'm not as much as yours, but do you think that my dozens of catties will be less than what you earn?" Lu Xiaoxi smiled, "If you want to do business for a long time, you don't have to rely on a lack of catty, but on your head." ”

"Dead girl, you wait for me, I tell you, offended me, you already have a show and want to sell another pound of medicinal herbs." The black-hearted merchant threatened.

Lu Xiaoxi helped the old woman get the medicinal materials back, I have to say that this black-hearted businessman is a tyrant in the medicinal materials market, and the medicinal materials he doesn't accept are not accepted.

Although the old woman took back her medicinal herbs, she could not sell them.

"My wife is still waiting for me to sell money to buy medicine for him, what should I do?"

Seeing that the old woman was about to come out of the bitterness, Lu Xiaoxi was a little unbearable, three catties of medicinal materials could not be sold for much money, thinking about it, I also knew that the old woman was so old, she must not go too far, climb too high, where to compare with the young people, the medicinal materials she sold were all worthless ambitions.

Lu Xiaoxi thought for a while, "Grandma, I have a hundred yuan here, you can take it, the medicinal materials belong to me." ”

"No, it's not worth that much, kid."

"It's okay, I want to make some medicine at home, I just need Yuanzhi, I see that your condition is good, look at other people's are very short, you are quite long, I need this, mother-in-law, you have helped me a lot."

Lu Xiaoxi said as if there was such a thing, even if the old grandmother was old, at most she was slow to react, but she could react, she knew in her heart that this girl was just helping her.

But she had to ask for it, because the old man in the family was still waiting for her money to save her life.

"Girl, you are a good person, a good person has a good reward, mother-in-law, I knelt down for you."

Lu Xiaoxi hurriedly helped her up, "This is not a thing, you helped me, if you want to thank you, it should be me who thank you, go and get medicine for your boss." ”

The old woman left with a thousand thanks, Lu Xiaoxi carried the medicinal herbs and smiled knowingly, but after returning home, the two boys were afraid that they were going to cry, and she had no money to buy sugar balls and meat.
