The public areas of Quarry Town are not part of the territory of the three families, and are under the jurisdiction of the Silver Guard. 【Reading.com】

Merchants gather on the street, pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, and various commercial shops are prosperous. The shouting and shouting, the laughter of pedestrians, the sound of carts, the sound of mules and horses, the sound of noses and hooves, are mixed together, and there is a lot of noise.

Wei Wuji first found a trading house that rented a warehouse, rented a warehouse, and cleaned out all the general medicinal materials in the gourd fairyland.

The medicinal fields of the gourd fairyland are planted with all kinds of medicinal herbs, dense, and there is no empty space. Some medicinal materials that seemed to be more precious in the past can only be regarded as ordinary medicinal materials for Wei Wuji now.

He was going to get rid of all these medicinal herbs, vacate the vacant land, and only plant some precious medicinal herbs, but he had been busy cultivating and had no time to sort them out. Now is the opportunity to take advantage of the purchase of grain to have a big purge.

After moving the medicinal materials out of the gourd fairyland, Wei Wuji locked the warehouse, took out the map of Quarry Town, and walked towards the location of the medicinal herb shop according to the map.

The herb shop is away from the noisy street, on another quiet street. As shown on the map, seven or eight medicinal herb merchants gathered together to form a circle, and all those who bought and sold medicinal herbs would go there to trade.

Coming to the front of the shop, Wei Wuji looked at it while walking. Suddenly, he found that a shop had three big characters written on the horizontal plaque "Huaicaotang", and he was stunned and hurriedly walked over.

When he entered the doorman, Wuji found that behind the counter, an old acquaintance Liu was sitting in the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Liu helped Wei Wuji in Weijiazhuang and was one of his few friends.

Wei Wuji stepped forward happily and greeted with a fist, "Shopkeeper Liu, I didn't expect to meet here, it's always good?"

Shopkeeper Liu was looking down to settle accounts, when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw Wei Wuji, he also laughed, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, "It's Wuji, why are you...... Here?"

"I left Weijiazhuang and am now an apprentice pharmacist in my family. Wei Wuji replied.

"That's good, you have a talent for medicinal materials, and if you are promoted to alchemist in the future, it will be just around the corner. Shopkeeper Liu smiled and raised his hand to invite, "Let's drink tea inside and talk slowly." ”

"No, no, I'll drink tea later, I have some medicinal herbs that need to be sold, and I was originally here to find a buyer. I didn't expect that your Huaicaotang also has a semicolon in Quarry Town, and I also met you, so now it's okay, all the medicinal materials will be handed over to you. Wei Wuji said.

"How many medicinal herbs are there?" asked Shopkeeper Liu.

"It's full of warehouses. ”

"Well, I'll find someone to pull it back in a carriage. ”

"Okay, tell the guy to come with me. ”

Shopkeeper Liu called a few guys, drove a few carriages, followed Wei Wuji to the warehouse, and tossed and turned several times before transporting all the medicinal materials back to Huaicaotang.

The man was busy counting the numbers on the scales, and a thin man in his forties, examining the years of medicinal herbs, recorded them on paper. Shopkeeper Liu and Wei Wuji came to the back hall and sat down to talk.

Shopkeeper Liu told Wei Wuji that he was now assigned to Quarry Town as the shopkeeper, and Wei Wuji could often come and sit in the future. During the conversation, the two talked about medicinal materials, and now Wei Wuji's knowledge of medicinal materials is far better than that of Shopkeeper Liu. After some conversation, Shopkeeper Liu sighed, he didn't expect Wei Wuji's knowledge to grow to such a point that it was difficult for him to match it.

While the two were talking, there was a commotion and a noisy sound from the front store, and they quarreled.

"Mowgli, you wait first, I'll go out and have a look. Shopkeeper Liu got up from his seat and walked out.

"I'll go with you. Wei Wuji also stood up, followed behind, and came to the front store.

There were two men surrounding the counter, looking unrelenting, and there were many people watching the excitement next to them, talking to each other, pointing at the two sides of the dispute.

"What's wrong?" asked Shopkeeper Liu.

"They came to ask for an inspection of this medicinal herb, and handed over the inspection silver taels, and when I took the medicinal herb for inspection, I didn't expect the whole medicinal herb to be broken. ”

The person who answered was the thin man who had just helped Wei Wuji and examined the year of the medicinal herbs, and now his face was pale, obviously angry to the extreme.

"Friend, you herb...... I'm afraid it's not right, right?" said Shopkeeper Liu.

"What's wrong? This old medicine of mine was brought to your Huaicaotang for identification, and in the hands of your people, it was broken in two, and you still say that we are wrong?"

The man who spoke was tall, a cultivator with the strength of a double heaven, and his voice was loud and straightforward.

"Hehe, at that time, I also advised him to be careful, don't damage the herbs. But he said that he had inspected the medicinal materials for decades, and there was no reason for damage. Now it's okay, it's damaged our old medicine, what do you say we should do?"

Another short man stood up, and after he finished speaking, he shouted in front of the crowd, "All the friends who are passing by, help me be a witness, so that he will not be guilty of the debt!"

The people who were watching around heard the man's words, and the discussion became louder.

"I testify that this old medicine is indeed damaged by your bad grass hall people, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"I also saw that the man used such a force to wrench the old medicine into two......"

"Damage to medicinal herbs, compensation ......"

“......”

The onlookers all helped the two men speak, and they all accused the thin man of damaging the medicinal herbs.

This is clearly blackmail, the two men came forward, and the onlookers next to them also had accomplices, coercing passers-by for unknown reasons, and coaxed Huaicaotang together.

Wei Wuji stood behind and observed the words, and immediately understood all this.

He was about to speak to Shopkeeper Liu to remind him, but Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand to him and said with a smile: "That's good, Huaicaotang will compensate you for the loss of this medicinal material." ”

Wei Wuji understands that Shopkeeper Liu is a person who wants to calm things down and open a store to do business, and most of them are like this, and harmony is precious.

"It's a pity that a good old medicine, alas, ......"

The tall man deliberately showed a look of pity and looked at Shopkeeper Liu, "You can compensate us for three thousand taels of silver." ”

"Three thousand taels of silver?" Shopkeeper Liu's face showed surprise, "Hehe, what kind of medicine are you, worth three thousand taels of silver?"

"Seven Star Chalcedony Grass! The three major families in Quarry Town, the Wei family, the Ning family, and the Nangong family, are all buying this medicinal material, and the real price is clear, if you don't believe it, go and take a look. The tall man said.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the medicinal materials on the table, and was a little unsure whether it was the Seven Star Chalcedony Grass, and he was speechless for a while.

"Let me take a look. Wei Wuji smiled and squeezed over.

Shopkeeper Liu nodded and made way for Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji glanced at the medicinal herbs on the table and said, "You just took this medicinal herb and came to Huaicao Hall to test it?"

"Of course it's not just this one, we also have some medicinal herbs. The tall man waved his hand, and the short man came over with a bamboo cage box.

When the cage box was opened, more than 20 medicinal herbs were revealed inside, which were neatly placed.

Wei Wuji glanced at it, turned around with a smile, and said to Shopkeeper Liu:

"If you really want to compensate, you will compensate them for twenty taels of silver, and no more. ”
