Chapter 40: Good Fellows Are Treasure Even
"Humph!" , The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves and lit the string of sugar gourds, "Little girl, like this string of purple scorpions with such a big head, if you deal with it, how can one sell for three or five hundred yuan, do you know?" ”
Li Zhao shook his head reasonably, "I don't know." "If she knew, it would be absolutely good!" Oh, let's not talk about anything else, Grandpa Ma, just say, how many of these are you collecting now? ”
The old man choked and rolled his eyes, "Right now? Hum! You don't have a good life to deal with, and the air drying is not good, the poison sacs are all destroyed, and the sky is broken, and the old man will give you at most ten cents. ”
"Three or five hundred Wen directly dropped to ten Wen, Grandpa Ma, you are so black!"
"Little broken girl, who is black? Obviously, you have no treasure mountain and don't know how to cherish it! I'm angry with the old man, it's just that, the old man doesn't care about the two of you hairy dolls, Mao Gen ......", the old man was angry, his beard was about to rise, he couldn't bear to think about it, he put down the scorpion skewers and patted the counter painfully, looked at the little brother in the counter and ordered, "Take a copy of the Wasteland Hundred Treasures." ”
The white-faced brother named Mao Gen took a blue cover from the cabinet and handed it a book about half a finger thick.
The shopkeeper grabbed the book and unceremoniously stuffed it into Li Zhao's arms.
"That's it, today's old man, I sent back a good heart to be a good person, and gave your brothers and sisters a free copy of the wasteland treasures, which recorded more than hundreds of good things in my wasteland, and marked the haunt location in detail, the characteristics of the treasures, the way to deal with it, everything, on weekdays, this book can cost one or two silver, today for the sake of your brothers and sisters, the old man gave you a copy, don't waste it if you have good things in the future, just take it to find the old man, the old man will give you a good price, and I can't treat you badly."
When Li Zhao heard this, he was like a treasure, "Thank you, Grandpa Ma, you are so good, since Grandpa Ma is so generous, then this string of scorpions will be settled according to what Grandpa Ma said." The little pony continued to shoot without distraction or kidneys, and quickly opened the book in his hand to see, the little paws were swinging again and again, but people were immersed in this treasure book.
Shen Xi looked at Li Zhao with a light smile, the sound of counting on the counter and the crackling sound of abacus beads sounded again, Li Zhao turned the first page and saw the familiar ugly insects, he was surprised in his heart, and then looked down and saw the key point, Li Zhao couldn't help but exclaim.
"I'll go, I've got this thing!" , Poking his hand on the page, Li Zhao looked at the shopkeeper, "Grandpa Ma, is the source of this insect repellent powder mentioned in the book true?" ”
"Little girl, you have eighty-four purple scorpions here, a total of eighty-four Wen, with giant palm needles, one hundred and nineteen taels and three hundred and twenty Wen, and the old man will give you eighteen taels of silver and five hundred and sixty-four Wen, ......"
The shopkeeper, who was settling accounts, paused, and the two sides spoke in unison, and stopped in unison because of each other's words.
Li Zhao's thoughts shifted instantly: plus the first fifteen taels, he has more than thirty taels of silver, wow, according to the current price market, he and the seventeenth brother can live very chic in this wasteland city.
The shopkeeper's thoughts instantly pulled back: What does the little girl mean by this?
Stopping his hand playing with the abacus, the horse shopkeeper looked at Li Zhao from head to foot with a solemn expression, and his eyes fell on the book that her little paw lit up, the horse shopkeeper had a serious expression, bent down and lowered his head close to Li Zhao, and lowered his voice.
"Little girl, why do you ask this? Could it be that you still have this thing in your hand? His gaze lightly fell on Li Zhao's finger.
Li Zhao: "Well, I have, not only that, but I also have a lot of ......"
"Xiao Zhao, silence!"
The old man Shen Xiguan on the side had a wrong expression, so he hurriedly stopped him.
In this situation, what else is there not to understand, Shen Xi solemnly looked serious.
The shopkeeper only felt that his heart was like a noise, and his voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk, let's talk inside." ”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to pull people, Li Zhao was a little anxious to be dragged away, and struggled again and again, not because he was afraid that the shopkeeper would harm her, but he nodded at Shen Xi, who was frowning behind him with a look of concern, and Shen Xi, who was struggling to come over, Li Zhao resisted again and again, "Brother, my brother, and my brother......"
The shopkeeper paused, glanced at Mao Gen and immediately ordered, "Mao Gen, bring people in, and serve some good tea." ”
Seeing Mao Gen's response, he came out of the closet and hugged his own brother to follow, Li Zhao stopped struggling, and honestly followed the footsteps of the old man who was a little eager into the back hall.
Almost before the curtain was lowered, the old man couldn't hold it back, took two deep breaths, looked at Li Zhao as if he was looking at a treasure, and stared at Li Zhao with cloudy and yellowed eyes.
"Okay, little girl, just now you said you have a lot of black gold that can be used as insect repellent powder, right? How many, with you? Take it out and show it to Grandpa Ma, don't worry, Grandpa Ma will never treat your brothers and sisters badly. ”
Li Zhao moved to Shen Xi, who was placed in the elegant seat by Mao Gen, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of vigilance.
However, looking at the irascible old man, thinking of the transaction just now, there was no trace of deception, and he was upright, Li Zhao had a crooked balance in his heart, and leaned his head to Shen Xi's ear and whispered for help.
"Brother Seventeen, what do you think?"
Shen Xi, who was tense all over, followed with a deep groan.
He recognized that he had read countless people, and he had met all kinds of people, and the old man in front of him looked harmless, but he was not completely sure, after all, he was like this now, and he couldn't protect himself and his children at all.
Seeing that the other party's demeanor was so eager, it can be seen that the value of the black gold in their hands is not low, and the previous honest transaction is small, and the other party can't do anything, if they encounter treasures, they can't keep it......
The shopkeeper looked at the appearance of this brother and sister, and couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"What, this is still guarding against me, old man? Rest assured, the reputation of Wanli Commercial Bank over the years, Tong Su is not bullied, and he will never bully the weak, no matter how valuable this black gold is, the old man will not rob it, and the things that can be done with silver are not things, my owner of thousands of miles is rich and rivals the country, and it is not that I can't buy it, and I can't commit it, you two little things! I think a lot! Besides, do you think the old man looks like a black hand behind his back? ”
Li Zhao wanted to nod, after all, what is said well, knowing people and faces does not know whether they are not.
Annoyed that these two children didn't believe in themselves, he turned his head and thought about the situation of these two children, and his heart softened again.
The shopkeeper sat down abruptly, put down his eagerness, and said calmly: "That's it, you two can understand if you don't believe in the old man, after all, we are also intersecting for the first time, but boy, little girl, for the sake of the old man who gave you Baibaolu, for the sake of the old man who traded just now is honest and fair, you yourself can say that good things will be sent to the old man, tell the old man the truth, you also have this black gold in your hands, right?" ”
Seeing that the crippled boy who was obviously the master behind him was about to shake his head, the shopkeeper hurriedly added.
"Hey, don't shake your head in a hurry, na, the old man doesn't ask you how many you have, where to put it, you just say if there is one, if there is, the old man will give you a fair price, and will not deceive you, and the time and place of the transaction are determined by you, how about it?"
If they are allowed to set their own place and time for trading, it is not impossible.
