Chapter 440: Why Is He Still Alive?
"That's great!"
Gu Dezhao rubbed his hands vigorously, and said with a smile: "Lingzhu is a profitable business, so if you say that, we must buy this spirit boat!" ”
After a pause, he scratched his head and said, "But what if we don't have so much money?" ”
Zhao Lin couldn't do it for a while, so he simply clapped the board and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, book the Lingzhou first, and then find a way to make money!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them walked out of the Treasure Boat Hall, and Zhao Lin had an extra deposit receipt of four thousand spirit coins in his hand.
"Five hundred and sixty thousand spirit coins, pay the money in half a month, where to make it up?"
Back in Jindantang, Gu Dezhao's excitement had passed, and he began to worry again.
"Ancient, please check the accounts again, see how many spirit coins are missing, report the number, I'll figure it out."
Zhao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, the discount will be a little bigger in the past few days, and strive to return the funds as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, I'll do it."
Goode replied and walked out of the tearoom quickly.
After a while, he walked back again, "Shopkeeper Zhao, there are almost 410,000 spirit coins in the account now, and there is still a gap of 150,000 to buy a spirit boat." ”
Zhao Lin calmly poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I know, go get busy." ”
Gu Dezhao saw Zhao Lin's calm expression, felt a lot more relieved, and left.
After he left, Zhao Lin looked bitter, 150,000 spirit coins were not so easy to make.
Of course, it is possible to borrow money from a bank, but with such a large amount, it is better to borrow it for a few days to cross the bridge, and after a long time, the high interest will overwhelm the store.
The store has enough debts, and unless it is a last resort, Zhao Lin is not ready to look for money.
After thinking about it, he could only borrow money from Lu Yuanxiu.
Zhao Lin picked up the pen, wrote a letter, and halfway through writing, threw away the stationery.
Lu Yuanxiu is his backer, and it shouldn't be difficult to borrow money, but in this way, it will undoubtedly lower his opinion of his own ability.
Zhao Lin decided to wait, the reward for the mission to the sea will be issued in a few days, there should be tens of thousands of spirit coins, and the specific amount depends on what is in the seized lock bag.
And the air hall.
"Lord Tanaka, Zhao ...... Zhao Lin: He didn't ...... Not dead! ”
Guy Yangquan broke into the inner hall, and without saying a word, he said urgently.
"What...... What! ”
Shopkeeper Tian was about to reprimand, but he was shocked when he heard the words, and he almost couldn't believe his ears, "You say it again." ”
"I saw Zhao Lin."
Yang Quan repeated, gasping twice, "It's on the street of the Imperial Boat Pavilion." ”
"How is he still alive? Doesn't it mean that the elite is exhausted? ”
Shopkeeper Tian muttered in a low voice, and then his face sank, "There is no news from Chiwei Island, could it be that something has happened?" ”
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he waved his hand and said, "You send someone to continue monitoring, and I will contact the headquarters and ask what is going on." ”
……
In the next two days, Zhao Lin went to the Hall of Good Merit in Dongfu County every day to inquire whether the reward of the task had been settled, but unfortunately there was no news.
On the morning of the third day, as soon as Zhao Lin returned to the store, he saw a monk with a scarf wrapped around his head and a bearded face complaining loudly to Gu Dezhao.
"Didn't I say that three days ago? I came to pick up the goods today, why don't I have a robe? Do you still talk about honesty in your store? ”
The bearded friar was aggressive.
Gu Dezhao was forced to be speechless, and when he saw Zhao Lin coming back, his eyes showed a look of help.
"This fellow Daoist, is there anything you can help with?"
Zhao Lin understood, Gu Dezhao mentioned a few days ago that a monk from a foreign sect came to the shop to buy a robe, and it must be this person.
He coughed, deliberately pretending not to know, and stepped forward to ask.
"Who are you?"
The bearded monk glanced at Zhao Lin and saw that it was a young monk, but he didn't want to pay attention to it.
"My surname is Zhao, I am the shopkeeper of the store, something was not there a few days ago, if the store is offended, please also invite Daoyou Haihan."
Zhao Lin said with a smile.
"Yes, he is the big shopkeeper, and I am the second shopkeeper."
Gu Dezhao hurriedly said.
"So you're in charge."
The bearded monk was slightly surprised, and turned to look at Zhao Lin, "Okay, I ordered a robe in your shop, and I didn't have any today, do you want to give an explanation?" ”
Zhao Lin let out an "oh" and asked, "Daoyou ordered a few robes and paid the deposit?" ”
The bearded monk snorted and said, "One gold, one wood, one water, fire, and one silk robe, three gold-soil mixed robes, and two water-wood mixed robes." ”
"A total of eight pieces, and a deposit of five hundred spirit coins was paid."
Zhao Lin looked at Gu Dezhao, who hurriedly said: "There is such a thing, but ......"
"I see."
Zhao Lin raised his hand to interrupt and said to the bearded monk: "This matter is not right with our shop, but there is also a reason for it. Towards the end of the year, the robes are in short supply, and if you want to get the goods immediately, you must pay the full amount. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the abacus on the counter, pretended to hit it twice, and said with a smile: "One piece of the five-element robe, one thousand spirit coins, and one mixed robe, a total of ninety thousand spirit coins." ”
Gu Dezhao's eyelids jumped twice, he heard that Zhao Lin wanted to use the money to buy a spirit boat.
The bearded monk raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "There is no reason for the deposit to be paid in full!" ”
Zhao Lin shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically: "There is no way, the goods are too urgent, we can only order temporarily." ”
"That's it, after all, it's our fault first, if the guest officer is willing to pay the full amount, we will give you a discount and minus two thousand spirit coins, how about it?"
The bearded monk hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then I paid for it, when will I get the goods?" ”
Zhao Lin said: "In five days, we will give priority to ensuring that we will get the goods to you." ”
The bearded monk was still not at ease, "What if you collect the money and run away?" ”
"Absolutely not."
Zhao Lin asked Li Sancai to take the deed of the store and presented it to the other party: "Fellow Daoists, please see, this is a store funded by the state government." ”
The bearded monk finally agreed, "Okay, I've paid the money now, if you dare to lie to me, I'll go to your state capital!" ”
Zhao Lin said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, you see that our store's business is so good, is it worth closing the store for 90,000 spirit coins?" ”
The bearded monk didn't say anything more, and pulled out a stack of spirit tickets from his lock bag.
Zhao Lin and Gu Dezhao glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: "There are still 60,000 spirit coins left." ”
……
After two more days, the rewards for the mission to the sea were finally issued.
"The old man looked away, and he couldn't imagine that Xiaoyou not only survived, but also earned so many good deeds and spirit coins."
The old steward of the Hall of Good Merit remembered Zhao Lin, and when Zhao Lin took over the task, he also gave advice, and after checking the good deeds that Zhao Lin had harvested, he said in surprise.
Zhao Lin wanted to know how many spirit coins he had earned, and when the steward finished recording it, he immediately took the body stone and inspected it, and his heart immediately widened: the money to buy the spirit boat is finally enough! (End of chapter)
