The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Ling'er, stunned for a while, and suddenly believed what the eldest young master said a few months ago. To be able to create these things, even if someone teaches her, she must be an extremely smart woman.

Just looking at this little girl's appearance, she really doesn't look like a person with a heavy heart, maybe she's really just smart.

The shopkeeper was stunned and didn't speak, Xiao Ling'er coughed lightly, "Shopkeeper, this medicine list ......"

"Hmm...... Yes, yes, we can get the seedlings on this medicine list. As he spoke, he put aside the medicine list, "Miss Xiaoxiao, I don't know if I have time, I can wait here." ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"This kind of seedling thing was also a business set by the girl and the eldest young master, and now that the girl is here, let me report to the eldest young master."

Originally, he could handle the seedling matter by himself, and if he found out the owner of the waterwheel, he could have done it according to the previous method, but both of these things hit the hands of Xiaoxiao girl, and the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the eldest young master. It just happened that in the past few days, the eldest young master is in good health, and he often comes to Baicaotang, if he waits for late autumn, it will be difficult to see the eldest young master go out.

"Okay, I'll wait here." Xiao Ling'er lightened her expression a little and nodded.

Sure enough, there was still no way to avoid seeing Mei Chengan again, but since she had decided to take this step, Xiao Ling'er had already prepared for this in her heart.

Without making her wait long, the shopkeeper returned to her room and led her to another room in the hallway.

The shopkeeper knocked twice, and heard a faint voice from inside, "Come in." ”

The familiar cold throat is Mei Cheng'an's voice.

The shopkeeper pushed open the door, and the furnishings of the room were not much different from the shopkeeper's, but the decoration was much more elegant, and there was a very familiar sense of warmth.

Sure enough, Xiao Ling'er swept around slightly, and saw a small charcoal stove that had risen in the middle of the room, just like when they first met. Although autumn has been in autumn for a while, the autumn in Tang County is not too cold, Xiao Ling'er sometimes sweats after a day of work, but Mei Chengan still has to rely on the charcoal stove. It seems that although he is awake, his illness should still not be complete.

But think about it, the time when she married into the Mei family was only in spring, and now it will be late autumn in a while, I have to say, looking back, time flies really fast.

Xiao Ling'er followed the shopkeeper and walked a few steps inside, and saw Mei Cheng'an sitting behind the desk, compared to the last time I saw him, the clothes on his body seemed to be thicker, and his face was still a little pale, but his expression was more and more lined with a kind of cold alienation that was difficult to approach, and mixed with some arrogance that was above all things.

However, Xiao Ling'er's dark pupils turned around, thinking about this arrogant man, she must not have imagined that the woman in front of her actually slept with him for a night while he passed out a few months ago, which was also interesting.

"Miss Xiaoxiao."

Xiao Ling'er was still thinking about herself there, and the shopkeeper called her on the side.

She immediately came back to her senses and bowed slightly towards Mei Cheng'an in front of her, "Young Master." ”

"Girl, please be seated." The shopkeeper lifted a chair for Xiao Ling'er, and Mei Chengan continued to speak, "Girl, don't worry, Baicaotang has always kept its promises, and since it promised to be a girl's business, it will naturally do its best." I've read the girl's medicine list, and the old prescription will take care of this matter. ”

"Well, thank you, young master." Xiao Ling'er nodded, paused, and then looked at Mei Cheng'an, waiting for him to say the next sentence, but he looked back at the account book in his hand, and his expression was concentrated, as if he had no intention of continuing to speak.

Belch...... Is it gone? He called her over, shouldn't he care, is it about the waterwheel?

The same doubts also appeared in the shopkeeper's heart, he glanced at Xiao Ling'er, and specially reminded in the direction of Mei Cheng'an, "Young Master, the waterwheel that came out a while ago was made by Miss Xiaoxiao. ”

"Oh, really?" Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of surprise that made people not look surprised, "This is a rare thing, I didn't expect the girl to be so ingenious." ”

"The eldest young master has won the prize." Finally mentioned the serious matter, Xiao Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said what she had just said to the shopkeeper to Mei Chengan again.

When she wanted to spend two taels of silver to buy Xiaoqin's freedom, she had already thought about it.

Here, if you want to be free, you have to have money, it's useless to escape, and the tone has been thinking about how to avoid the Mei family, so it's better to go straight to it.

And now, the only bargaining chip in her hand that can negotiate with the Mei family is the waterwheel and the derived water mill and water plow, this time, Xiao Ling'er is planning to use these to make a deal with the Mei family.

Sure enough, it can be seen from the shopkeeper that the Mei family is indeed interested in this, otherwise they would not have brought her directly to Mei Cheng'an as soon as they heard it.

But Mei Cheng'an...... From the moment he entered the room, he didn't look interested, but he was reminded by the shopkeeper, so he seemed to ask more questions intentionally or unintentionally.

Just like now, Xiao Ling'er's words fell for a while, and then she heard Mei Cheng'an's voice ring slowly, "Miss Xiaoxiao is really smart, if others listen to it, they will only feel surprised, and only the girl can draw inferences and come up with such a useful method, at a young age, Cheng'an admires it." ”

Well...... Admire, and then what? Mei Chengan disappeared again.

No, in Xiao Ling'er's guess, she only needs to click on it, Mei Chengan should take the initiative to mention the waterwheel to herself, and then she will naturally use this as a transaction, how can it ......

She looked at the shopkeeper standing next to her, and she was also puzzled, the eldest young master is very decisive in dealing with this kind of thing on weekdays, why is there still some procrastination today.

Xiao Ling'er wrinkled her brows, and somehow, looking at Mei Cheng'an not far away, although she didn't even raise her eyes, she always felt that there seemed to be a hint of a strategizing smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had guessed his own thoughts, so he didn't obey her wishes.

It's just that she thought about it a little, Xiao Ling'er shook her head again, how could Mei Chengan have such a child's mind, maybe he is used to doing business, so he will always feel that the first to speak has lost a little bit of the momentum of negotiation?

Anyway, after all, you have to do business, and if others don't take this step, Xiao Ling'er won't suffer a dumb loss in order to save face, so she simply opened her mouth.

"The eldest young master praised it falsely, and I was just crooked, but don't say it, this waterwheel really tossed a lot of effort, and almost used up the money used to pay the deposit this time. But fortunately, it was built to look good. If not, you will be scolded by your mother-in-law. But in the past few days, some people have asked me about the drawings of the waterwheel, and the price of the sale can also be paid for the seedlings at that time. ”

"Miss Xiaoxiao, have you decided to sell the drawings?"

This time, without waiting for Mei Chengan to speak, the shopkeeper had already spoken first.

"I have this plan, otherwise I am afraid that the money for seedlings will not be enough."

"That'...... Can the girl plan to do this business with the Mei family's pharmacy? ”

"The Mei family?" Xiao Ling'er pretended to think about it, and secretly glanced at Mei Chengan in front of her, but he still didn't show any traces, not at all like the shopkeeper, who could see that he was interested at a glance, which made it difficult for people to even raise the price.

Xiao Ling'er paused, and the shopkeeper thought that she was hesitating in her heart, so she caught up with another sentence, "Girl, rest assured, the Mei family's pharmacy is one of the best in the county, and the Mei family has no problem with the price that others can afford." ”

Nonsense, of course she knows that the Mei family has a big business, how can she not afford to pay the silver taels, but what she wants, where is the certain price.

It's just like a cross talk singing tease who can't sing and praise, and when she talks about business and meets someone like Mei Chengan who can't see through anything, it always makes her panic.

She just wanted to calm down a little, but she didn't expect that Mei Chengan finally opened her mouth at this time, put down the account book in her hand, and looked at her leisurely, "Miss Xiaoxiao, you have always been calm in business, you might as well say it if you have something to say." I first mentioned my conditions, and the drawings were given to the Mei family pharmacy, and they could not be handed over to others. The medicine in the girl's hand, no matter how many it is, as long as the finished product is suitable, Baicaotang will buy it at the market price. But the girl sold it to others, and she had to lower the price of Baicaotang and mess up the price of medicine in Tang County. This batch of seedlings, Baicaotang will not charge a cent, including a deposit, as a sincerity. I wonder if there are any other requirements, girl? ”

……

What is a sharp point in a sentence, Xiao Ling'er understands it.

She thought that Mei Chengan was really not interested, who knows, he had already guessed his mind thoroughly. Whether it was a deposit, even she had the idea of selling the concocted medicine to Baicaotang, she said it first.

This guy knew from the beginning that he was here to talk to him about business, but he had to pretend to be uninterested, and now he debunked it, obviously telling her that she was not going to pretend in front of him.

She originally planned to let the Mei family mention it first, and maybe she could take advantage of the trend to increase the market price, but now, it is impossible for her to even raise the price.

Xiao Ling'er only felt that the smile on her face became embarrassed, what kind of cleverness is this, it is simply a black belly.

"Since...... Since the eldest young master has arranged it so properly, how dare Xiaoxiao make a request. So, I agreed. ”

In fact, in addition to being poked by Mei Cheng'an for his pretentious posture, the conditions he put forward were already good. The seedlings were given free of charge, and she was promised to buy her future medicines.

Originally, she had also thought that there were more and more medicines concocted, and Mu Shishi's pharmacy might not be able to use those, so she should always find another buyer, which could be regarded as saving some effort.

But the shopkeeper on the side touched his head, what is the situation, just now the two of them didn't mention each other's business, why did they talk about the next business in just one sentence?
