Chapter Twenty-Four: Tatsu Pharmacist
Quote?
How much should I report?
Stone milk crystal only costs ten taels of copper and one baht, even if the price of buying dragon root is added, it is not worth mentioning compared to one or two gold and one pulp refining flower, and if you round it up, the cost price of a bottle of Sanbao quenching body fluid is one or two lines of gold.
"Ten taels of gold. โ
Lu Chen thought for a moment and quoted the price in his heart.
As soon as the specific price came out, there was a sudden silence on the deck of the third floor of the shipbuilding, and Han Lao of the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and Tao Lao Ju of the Pill Pavilion both frowned and pondered, obviously secretly calculating in their hearts whether this deal was worth it.
After a while, Han Lao and Tao Lao glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of unacceptable look in each other's eyes. The price ceiling in the hearts of the two was eight taels of gold, but the price given by the hood man was ten taels of gold, which was a full two taels of gold more than they expected.
At this moment, Han Lao regretted a little in his heart, and let the hooded man quote, the original intention was to take advantage of the hooded man's ignorance of the market. If you knew this, you shouldn't have let the hooded man quote first, but they should quote the price first, and then let the hooded man rack his brains to raise the price.
After a long time, Han Lao Fang took the lead in speaking, and said, "Ten taels of gold and a bottle of liquid medicine are already the same as the market price of a low-grade quenching pill. After we purchase it, we must sell it at a higher price in order to make a profit from the difference. At that time, the price of a bottle of liquid medicine will naturally exceed the price of a low-grade quenching pill. Even though the medicinal liquid in this jade bottle has the advantage of not wasting a trace of medicinal power, it is still inferior to a lower-grade quenching pill in terms of medicinal power, and if you really want to sell it to a martial arts monk at a price higher than a lower-grade quenching pill, I am afraid that the sales of the jade bottle of medicinal liquid will not go up. โ
The implication is that the price of the hood man is a little inflated.
Lu Chen didn't answer silently, and smiled slightly in his heart. What I want to take is the high-quality route, not small profits and quick turnover, and Sanbao Quenching Body Fluid is definitely worth this price. As long as the martial artist uses it once, he will naturally be able to appreciate the benefits of the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid. At that time, the price is too low, but it will cause a tight supply situation, and he can only refine the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid for the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Pavilion every day, how can he still have time to cultivate, so wouldn't he put the cart before the horse.
After Han Lao finished speaking, he saw that the hooded man on the other side did not react, and mistakenly thought that the latter did not understand the deep meaning of his words, so he went straight to the point and said: "Your Excellency, the price of ten taels of gold is too high, let's lower it." Eight taels of gold, if you agree to this price, how many jade bottles of liquid medicine in your hands will be purchased by our Fuchun Herbal Clinic...... I will buy half of it. โ
"The Pill Pavilion is the same, at the same price, purchasing the other half. Tao Lao echoed, and took a sip of tea after speaking.
"Old Han, Old Tao, I can't hide it, this bottle of liquid medicine is called Sanbao Quenching Body Fluid, and the medicinal materials used to refine Sanbao Quenching Body Liquid are themselves very valuable. Ten taels of gold is under the bottom line, if the two still feel that the price is inflated, please forgive me for taking the liberty of bothering and farewell. After saying this, Lu Chen wanted to turn around and walk down the ship.
"Poofโ"
I saw that Lu Chen's voice fell, and the sip of tea that Tao Lao had just drunk in his mouth squirted out again. It's worth a lot of money, and this hooded man is really ...... It's too good to talk nonsense. Even though he couldn't see all the types of medicinal materials needed to refine a bottle of Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid, it was definitely no more than one palm, and the most expensive medicinal material among them was probably the Refining Pulp Flower.
The words of the hooded man are a few true and a few false, although everyone present knows it in their hearts, but no one will break it to their faces, so it will be boring. Even if the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and the Pill Pavilion knew what kind of medicinal materials the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid was made of, what use could they be, and they relied on the refining skills in their hands.
"Wait. Han Lao hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, Lu Chen retracted his steps and sat down again.
Han Lao took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly: "Ten taels of gold is ten taels of gold, but there are a few additional conditions that I would like to ask Your Excellency to agree to first." โ
"Please. Lu Chen stretched out his hand and asked, motioning to the other party to say first, whether he agreed or not was two different things.
"Your Excellency's surname. โ
"The contemptible surname is Chen. โ
Han Lao pondered for a moment before he said, "The first condition, since Pharmacist Chen has already sold the Three Treasure Quenching Body Fluid to the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Medicine Pavilion, he is not allowed to sell the Three Treasure Quenching Body Fluid to the rest of the shops in any form without permission. The second condition is that all matters related to the Three Jewels Quenching Body Fluid shall not be disclosed to others in any form. The third condition, when the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and the Dan Medicine Pavilion advertise the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid, if there is a place where Pharmacist Chen needs to come forward, I hope that Pharmacist Chen will not refuse. โ
There is nothing particularly excessive about the three requirements mentioned by Han Lao, but the initiative must be in your own hands. The Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid can only be refined by himself, Lu Chen can sell it if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to sell it, he won't sell it, as for who to sell it to, he can decide how he wants. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen said in a deep voice: "These three conditions ...... I can't agree to it. If Han Lao and Tao Lao feel that they have to agree, they still have a sentence just now, so they take the liberty to disturb and leave. โ
After speaking, Lu Chen wanted to turn around and walk down the ship.
"Wait. Wait. Tao Lao of the Pill Pavilion hurriedly stood up, grabbed Lu Chen, looked at Han Lao, and said, "These three conditions, according to the old man's opinion, are they all the same." Since Pharmacist Chen has found us, do you still need to say this sincerity, Old Man Han, do you say yes or no?"
Han Lao had to nod, this business can't be run.
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "In this case, the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Pavilion need to first deliver half of the tattoo gold to the lower as a deposit for the Three Treasure Quenching Body Solution, and in the middle of next month, the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and the Pill Medicine Pavilion will deliver one hundred copies of the Three Treasure Quenching Body Fluid each." As for this month's deposit, please ask Han Lao and Tao Lao to pay it in person now. โ
"I didn't bring a golden ticket when I went out, so you can help pay for it. A touch of embarrassment flashed on Tao Lao's face.
Han Lao had already taken out five golden tickets of one hundred taels, and when he heard this, he took out five more golden tickets of one hundred taels, making them into ten, and said, "The deposit for the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and the Pill Medicine Pavilion, Pharmacist Chen, please take it." โ
Bi He took the stack of golden tickets in Han Lao's hand, moved lightly, walked to the hooded man in a small way, and said, "Please accept half of the deposit from the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Medicine Pavilion." โ
Lu Chen took the ten hundred taels of gold tickets without hurry and put them in his sleeve. After Lu Chen received the golden ticket, Bihe took three steps back before turning around and retreating to Han Lao's side.
A business is negotiated, and everyone rejoices. Tao Lao and Han Lao jointly invited each other, and invited the hooded people to taste fragrant tea together and enjoy the night market lantern festival together. Lu Chen was about to leave, but he slightly estimated the remaining time of the voice changing pill in his heart, and then sat down again. The shipbuilding floated slowly along the inner lake, and everyone on the deck laughed and talked......
Night Market Lantern Festival, on the east bank of Neihu Lake, on the shore is a straight and wide bustling street.
At this moment, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and the entrance hall of the club is open, and the lights are bright, and the colorful lights are like a brilliant rainbow to illuminate the whole street as if it were daytime. On the streets, there are many people and noisy.
Lu Chen tasted the fragrant tea, looked at it casually, his eyes swept over the pedestrians, but he was slightly stunned, and then his brows furrowed slightly.
In the crowd on the east shore of Neihu, a brocade man dressed in white and blue edges, holding a folding fan, walked slowly, followed by a gray-clothed entourage.
Lu Chen noticed the fan man mixed in the crowd, not because there was something strange about the fan man who could catch his eyeballs at once. It was because of a shadow followed by the man who shook the fan, which attracted his attention. At first glance, the shadow Lu Chen in front of the fan man seemed to be a little familiar, and when he looked at it again, sure enough, it was really someone he knew.
If Lu Chen was also crowded in the crowd, he might not be able to detect the abnormality at a glance. But the boat building under the seat is three stories high, and Lu Chen happens to be sitting on the highest floor, so there is a chance to make a discovery. At this time, looking down, the crowd on the street was in full view, and the man with the fan and the gray-clothed entourage were like tails not far behind Qianying.
Let's see that the master and servant are following behind, what do they want! Lu Chen put down the teacup in his hand, turned his gaze, looked at Tao Lao and Han Lao, and said: "Tao Lao, Han Lao, I think the scenery of the night market lantern festival here is very pleasing to the eye, why don't you let the boatman drop the anchor and stop here for a while, what do you two think?"
Hearing this, Han Lao and Tao Lao both turned their heads to take a look at the scenery on the shore, and there was a slight surprise in their hearts, obviously the two of them didn't think that there was anything better than the place they had passed before. It's just that the business of the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid has already fallen, and the current identity of the hooded man can definitely be regarded as the VIP of the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and the Pill Medicine Pavilion. This small request, they are not too much to meet each other. As long as the hooded man can endure it, it is okay to let the shipyard stop here for an hour or two.
Tao Lao beckoned to the little guy behind him, and the little guy stepped forward, Tao Lao explained a few words, and the little guy blinked away. Soon, the scenery in front of everyone stopped flowing slowly, and it was obvious that the ship building had stopped.
Lu Chen stood up and walked to the side of the boat on the shore side, looking at the bustling streets on the shore.
Seeing that the hooded man was so attentive, Tao Lao and Han Lao, as well as the maid Bihe, were all aroused by the hooded man's actions. Tao Lao and Han Lao got up and walked to the side of the ship, their eyes looking at the situation. Bihe followed the two of them and also came to the side of the boat, following the gaze of the hooded man and looking at the street pedestrians on the shore.
At a glance, everyone had not noticed the anomaly at first, and after a moment, all three of them frowned. Bihe's eyes flashed with disgust when he looked at the man who was shaking the fan.
On the street on the shore, the man with the fan and the gray-clothed attendant beside him were standing in the crowd at this time, talking to each other, whispering, and then the master and servant separated and walked towards Qianyingbao.
Oh, the man who shook the fan had already walked to a foot in front of Qianying, but there were quite a few pedestrians on the street, and Qianying was defenseless, so he naturally couldn't notice it. The man who shook the fan glanced at it obliquely, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and suddenly turned around, his eyes pretended to look at the shops left and right, but the corner of his eyes was locked on the Qianying in front of him, and he walked straight towards Qianying under his feet.
The shadow was unconscious, and the man who was shaking the fan was getting closer and closer. Just as the fan man was about to pass by Qianying, the crowd next to him suddenly suddenly rioted. A woman holding a baby was pushed from behind by someone and suddenly knocked down towards Qianying. Qianying was about to retreat to the side, and saw that the person who bumped into her was a woman holding a baby, and thought that if she dodged, the woman and the baby would fall to the ground heavily, so she couldn't bear it, and stretched out her hand to stop it.
With this barricade, the woman holding the baby was saved from falling, but Qianying staggered backwards and crashed into a man with a fan beside her. In the panic, I don't know what object fell to the ground and shattered, making a crisp sound.
