Chapter Twenty-Three: Selling Medicines
This time into the mountain, it was almost the most relaxed.
Lu Yangsheng tightened his back basket, and his face was full of smiles.
Being able to step into the cultivation realm, although it was only the first mirror, Lu Yangsheng obviously felt that he was different.
Compared with his previous self, Lu Yangsheng feels that now he not only has more strength, his hands and feet are numb, but even his perception of danger is much greater. But other than that, the thing that makes him happiest is that he needs to eat less.
This time in the mountain, Lu Yangsheng stayed for a total of three days, if it wasn't for the basket full, it is estimated that he would continue to stay. In these three days, Lu Yangsheng found that he only needed to eat very little, and then run the exercises to absorb some spiritual energy, and he had endless strength to use. When passing by a bush, a rabbit ran out, Lu Yangsheng actually caught up with the rabbit, and now the rabbit is already the trophy in his back basket, and he can take it to the ninth master when he turns around, and use it to ask some things outside.
Seeing that the sun was in the west, Lu Yangsheng counted his harvest this time and jumped down the mountain. When he was about to set, Lu Yangsheng skillfully knitted a straw ring and put it on his head, covering half of his face, then slowed down, walked towards the pharmacy on North Street, bypassed the crowd, found a corner where no one was around, and waited for the small number of people in the pharmacy to finish, Lu Yangsheng walked to the back door of the pharmacy with a basket on his back and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and out came a half-old boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dark face, and Lu Yangsheng had a fight, but he looked much stronger than Lu Yangsheng.
"Tsk, I said why I heard the crow early this morning, it turns out that there is really a mourning star coming to the door. What's the matter, little mourning star, today is here again to touch our shopkeeper's house? ”
After the young man came out, when he saw that it was Lu Yangsheng, his face was full of unhappiness, he looked disgusted when he went out and stepped on dog shit, and the words in his mouth were even more vicious, but fortunately, Lu Yangsheng was used to it and didn't take it very seriously.
The young man's name is Li Aniu, his ancestors have been poor people in the town for generations, and when the young man is in this generation, his father came to run, dug up a big mallet, and didn't dare to ask for it himself, so he knelt in front of the shopkeeper's door with the mallet for a day, and helped the young man ask for the identity of an apprentice, which is why he has his current errand. Now Li Aniu is in charge of the backyard of the pharmacy, and the drug seller is the first pass he has given.
Li Aniu is extremely mean to outsiders, but in the pharmacy, he is full of dog legs, pouring tea and water for the shopkeeper, and rushing to do all the hard work, such a person naturally likes the shopkeeper. And Li Aniu because he was born in a poor family, he has brute force, black, dare to work hard, after the discovery of the shopkeeper, he improved Li Aniu's food, let him be an apprentice at the same time, and by the way, he was a thug in the pharmacy, so the things in the pharmacy are generally Li Aniu first sang white face, and the shopkeeper came out to sing red face, so that the shopkeeper did not have to offend people on the bright side, and he could get benefits, and he naturally liked Li Aniu more, and Li Aniu naturally worked harder.
Li Aniu knew that he had a bad reputation among the villagers, and he didn't really care, but he couldn't scold him back one by one, so whoever he knew had scolded him, he had to be embarrassed by him when he came to sell medicine, so that the drug sellers hated him one by one, but for the sake of the family, they could only endure it.
Of course, Lu Yangsheng didn't say anything bad about Li Aniu, but Li Aniu just didn't like Lu Yangsheng. Why, this kid is dead to his father, and he can still have a good name that is more literary and crepe when he lives on the street, and then look at himself, Li Aniu, this name is unpleasant when you hear it, and it is ugly to death. Also, I heard my father say that his family borrowed rice from the Lu family back then? How many times did you borrow it and you didn't give it back, and almost starved him Li Aniu to death? Phew, you deserve to be dead, and you're a slut when you live. And if you die, you will die, if you don't die cleanly, there is still a mourning star who often comes to pollute your eyes, which is really unlucky.
Lu Yangsheng knew that Li Aniu didn't like him, and he didn't like Li Aniu, but there were rules in the town, and those on that street could only go to the pharmacy on that street to sell medicines, unless it was a good thing, there would be other pharmacies to secretly accept it, and he didn't dare to let other pharmacies know, like the one in Lu Yangsheng's back basket, it was an ordinary herb at first glance, so it could only be sold in the shop on North Street. Of course, it is precisely because of this that he, Li Aniu, dares to bully the guests openly.
"Brother Niu, look at how much these herbs are worth for me." Listening to Li Aniu's sour words, Lu Yangsheng's face did not change, too, anyone who has listened to it for so many years should get used to it.
"No, Mourning Star, how many times have I told you, don't call me Brother Niu, Lao Tzu is unlucky, if you dare to call it again, Lao Tzu will teach you how to be a person."
Li Aniu raised his fist, but he didn't beat it down, it's not that Li Aniu didn't dare, to be honest, it's not that he hasn't done this kind of thing, the main reason is that the town is too evil, and when there is no benefit, Li Aniu is generally addicted, and in the end, he is still afraid of getting bad luck.
"Don't go into the house, pour out the herbs in your back basket and let Lao Tzu inspect the goods." After Li Aniu warned Lu Yangsheng, he began to do business, although he knew that Lu Yangsheng was abiding by the rules, Li Aniu still warned him, the most taboo of the shopkeeper, if something went wrong, he would not have good fruit to eat. Usually bully Lu Yangsheng twice to be happy, but no one wants to stay with this broom star for a long time, how unlucky.
After hearing this, Lu Yangsheng first took out the rabbit tied with straw rope in the back basket, and then skillfully poured the herbs in the back basket into the open space in front of the back door of the medicine store.
Li Aniu saw Lu Yangsheng take out a huge fat rabbit first, his eyes lit up, he touched his chin, his eyes turned several times, and then he saw Lu Yangsheng pour a basket full of herbs, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. Good guy, a basket of herbs, although it is not a precious herb, but it is not a big road commodity, if ordinary people come to sell, at least two hundred Wen to start, this guy has found a medicine field?
After being an apprentice in the pharmacy for several years, Li Aniu can be regarded as having seen the world, so he immediately put away the shock in his eyes and stretched out a hand, revealing five fingers.
"Fifty wen? Brother Niu, isn't it a little less? Lu Yangsheng frowned.
Li Aniu sneered, and didn't care that Lu Yangsheng called himself Brother Aniu.
"If you kid wants to be beautiful, you can only sell it, and you don't like to sell it."
When Lu Yangsheng heard this price, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"I'm afraid it's not good, isn't the price too low?"
"Too low? Then don't sell it, take it home and light it. "Li Aniu doesn't care, a poor bastard like Lu Yangsheng who has no overnight food, no matter how much money he pays, he has to sell it in the end.
Lu Yangsheng didn't say a word, and began to put herbs in the back basket. If it was before, in order to live, I would have endured it, but now after I stepped into the cultivation realm, I ate less, and I was hungry for one or two meals, Li Aniu said that Wuwen was obviously bullying himself, and he could sell three or four Wen when there were not so many herbs in the past, but now if these Wuwen are sold, he won't want to save money in the future.
Li Aniu never thought that Lu Yangsheng was so backbone today, you know, because of the name of the mourning star, the price of Lu Yangsheng's medicinal herbs is the lowest, but it is really the price of medicine, who cares who picked it, it is good if it is a real medicine, in other words, the profit here is the largest, if the shopkeeper knows about today's incident, he will be deducted from his salary.
wanted to open his mouth to ask Lu Yangsheng to stop, but he couldn't pull his face, and Li Aniu's face turned red.
"Yo, isn't this Brother Lu? Come and sell medicinal herbs? Just when Li Aniu was in a dilemma, a middle-aged man walked out. Li Aniu hurriedly bowed his head and greeted him, shouting "shopkeeper". The person who came was the shopkeeper of this pharmacy.
"Shopkeeper, the kid came to sell medicine, but the price is too low." Lu Yangsheng saw that the shopkeeper came out, stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands, and gave a salute before he spoke.
"Oh. How much does Ah Niu pay? The shopkeeper glanced at Li Aniu with a smile, and then looked at Lu Yangsheng.
Li Aniu, who was almost scared by the shopkeeper's glance, didn't wait for Lu Yangsheng to speak, and preemptively answered: "Twenty Wen, the shopkeeper, I have offered twenty Wen, this kid is not satisfied." ”
Li Aniu roughly calculated, and estimated that twenty wen should be the reserve price of the shopkeeper.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled at Lu Yangsheng and said, "Little brother, twenty is a lot, you also know that you are here in the town... Alas, it's very difficult for us to do it, in this way, we opened a pharmacy to accumulate merit, and I will add five more to you, okay? ”
Lu Yangsheng calculated, nodded, and didn't speak again.
Since the shopkeeper has opened his mouth, it means that there is absolutely no room for counteroffer, and if he doesn't sell it, he really has to take it back and burn the fire.
Seeing that the business was negotiated, the shopkeeper glanced at Li Aniu and went back to the pharmacy.
Li Aniu was uncomfortable, and hurriedly took his own basket to load the medicinal herbs, and saw Lu Yangsheng put the rabbit into his own back basket and swallowed his saliva.
"Mourning... Brother Lu, you rabbit is quite fat. ”
Lu Yangsheng pretended to be a rabbit and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's not too thin." ”
"Look, today because of my brother, you made an extra five cents, look at it... Li Aniu swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and opened his mouth to speak.
Lu Yangsheng was not angry, he still smiled: "Then I'll go up the mountain next time and bring some wild fruits to Brother Niu, it's sweet." ”
Li Aniu's face was a little unsightly, who wants your wild fruits, seeing that Lu Yangsheng was leaving, Li Aniu couldn't hold back, and said directly: "Brother Lu, you can't eat this rabbit alone, my brother still has a bit of a nest... ”
Before Li Aniu finished speaking, Lu Yangsheng interrupted.
"Brother Niu, do you want to buy rabbits? It's not a coincidence, this rabbit boy is useful, it's a thank you gift to the ninth master, and it really can't be sold. ”
When Li Aniu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't, I didn't say I wanted to buy it, don't you know, the ninth master fell a little before, it's almost gone, he can't eat it if you give it to him, it's better to give it away... ”
Before Li Aniu finished speaking, he saw Lu Yangsheng running away.
The person is gone, the rabbit is gone, Li Aniu muttered and scolded: "Damn, the thing that was struck by lightning, if you don't give it, you won't give it, the uncle is not rare, what else do you say to the old man?" It's an excuse. After being kicked by Lao Tzu, the old man wants to eat your meal again. ”
After Li Aniu muttered, he didn't know if he was gluttonous, swallowed his saliva again, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was getting dark, so he continued to scold and scold and pack up the herbs.
