Chapter VII
After all, the Zou family is just a local tyrant who has just made a fortune, and its background is still too far from that of some town-level veteran tyrants and Wang people. The property owned by the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is nothing more than a few hundred acres of fertile land and medicinal land developed from a valley two or three miles long and about one mile wide, plus a medical hall pharmacy in the town. Relying on the master's excellent alchemy skills can earn some huge profits.
After all, there are too few high-grade medicinal materials, and the only pills that can be refined every year to make money are a small number of small pills and about ten pills of Peiyuan Pill. Although the profit is high, the quantity is too small.
Although the Zou family is small, there are more than 20 people who practice martial arts in the main family, key servants, and nursing homes, and the funds required are too great. Every year, the surplus is not very much, and it is also a lot of money spent on buying shops, buying land, building villages, and changing fields in the early years.
In terms of family background compared with other local tyrants, it can only be said to be a little rich at present. Zou Wu, the head of the family, knew that Wohu Town was an important concentration of medicinal materials in Jingzhou, so he asked Zou Fu to buy some of the fourth-grade and fifth-grade medicinal materials and medicinal seeds when he encountered them.
When they came yesterday, it was late, and after nearly ten days of traveling, the two of them were already exhausted.
Therefore, last night the two found a hotel and ate a little at random and went to sleep. When I came to the street early this morning, I saw people coming and going on the street, and all kinds of shouting and selling came and went. The shops on both sides of the street are endless.
The farthest city Zou Li has visited is Xincheng County, and he has never seen such a prosperous city.
"Is this still called a town?" Zou Li was both frightened and excited.
Although he seemed calm with other teenagers of the same age, he was still a child after all, and his young heart was suddenly revealed, looking around and looking at it with a pair of curious eyes.
Zou Fu came with the task of the head of the family, tomorrow is the test time for the Crouching Tiger Gang to recruit disciples, he has no intention of staying in Crouching Tiger Town for long, and he is ready to return to Xinxian County after the test, not wanting the head of the family to worry. I was going to take advantage of today's day to buy enough things I wanted to buy, and I didn't look at the bustle twice, but just stared at some stores with pharmacy marks before I went in to watch and ask for a quote.
I looked at a few stores in a row, but I only looked at them, only asked and didn't buy them, and I saw that those clerks only muttered.
Zou Fu just ignored it, shopping around, he still understands this truth, and he is particular about looking at the store, he didn't go to those big stores, only asked some medium or small stores, and took a look at the same medicinal materials, quality, and what is the unit price. Only then will you not be deceived.
After asking, Zou Fu had a good idea of the unit price of medicinal materials, so he began to make a move.
There have been good harvests several times in a row, and Crouching Tiger Town is indeed a center of medicinal materials, and Zou Li is also very happy.
In front is the Baidan Building opened by the Crouching Tiger Gang, which is about six floors high and about ten zhang wide, and it stands out in Crouching Tiger Town. There were a few guys standing at the door, dressed in uniform attire, and as soon as Zou Li and the others walked up, a young and beautiful woman greeted them: "Guest officer, if you want to buy something, I can serve you, we have all kinds of pills here, including those that heal and enhance strength, as well as all grades of ordinary medicinal materials." As he spoke, he welcomed Zou Li in.
Zou Li went in and saw that the hall was very large, there were many people in it, there was a circle of counters along the wall, and there was also a circle of counters in the middle. Guests only walk in the middle. There are transparent spars embedded in the counter, and you can clearly see the various medicinal materials and seeds placed inside, and there is a small board in front of each medicinal material and seed, which is marked with the name and unit price, and some of them are also indicated as medicinal. Zou Li walked in front, had already turned a few shops, and his panic and excitement gradually calmed down, and after listening to the girl's introduction, he asked, "Do you have any elixirs for sale here?"
"Look at what your guest officer said, the elixir is so precious, even if it is, it will be snapped up as soon as possible, not to mention that there is no building in this building, even the entire Jingzhou can't find much. As the most important medicinal material trading center in Jingzhou, the largest auction house in Wohu Town is also a year to see a few first-grade and second-grade elixirs. And these are still picked by grandmaster-level medicine pickers in the depths of Qin Mang Mountain, risking their lives. The woman smiled.
"Hmph! It's really a dirt bun, I don't have knowledge, you think the elixir is Chinese cabbage! It's a first-class elixir, and it can also refine the Pulse Washing Pill, do you know the Pulse Washing Pill? That can wash the muscles and rafts for martial arts practitioners, and remove dirt from the body. After taking it, it can increase the body's qualifications and speed up the cultivation speed. Moreover, a first-grade elixir is a congenital ancestor that can be used. You still want to sell a elixir. A voice full of disdain came from behind Zou Li.
Zou Li turned his head to look, only to see a young man in a white brocade robe, followed by three key servants, with a look of contempt, seeing Zou Li turn around, the corners of his mouth were still curled.
This young man is very clear-eyed, but he has thin lips, slanted eyes, and a trace of arrogance, which destroys the whole image and makes people feel uncomfortable when they see it.
Since the morning on the street, Zou Fu is asking, buying, Zou Li just followed behind to see and listen, and when he arrived at Baidan Building, Zou Li wanted to ask himself, who knew that when he met such a person, his heart was uncomfortable for a while, his brows wrinkled, and he said a little unwillingly: "I asked, is it ridiculous, you--you --?"
"What are you, you! At first glance, you look like an old hat, and the elixir is also what you can ask? Don't buy things, just ask here and again, do you know, these beauties are all relying on sales to mention CDs, and if you don't buy them, it will waste a lot of people's money-making time. ”
After speaking, he paused, and said to the beautiful woman who entertained Zou Li: "This beauty, I see that you are pleasing to the eye, so you will take me to the fourth floor to buy pills, and then come down to buy medicinal materials when you are done!" After speaking, he didn't look at Zou Li, as if Zou Li didn't exist.
When Zou Li saw it, he was annoyed in his heart, and said loudly: "How do you know that I don't buy it?"
"Hmph, look at you, how much can you buy, at most three melons and two dates. After saying that, he was still talking.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman who was entertaining Zou Li stepped forward with a smile and said, "This son, wait a minute, I'll find another colleague to come and receive you, okay?"
"No, I just want you to receive me, don't you want to? I have a VIP card, otherwise I will complain to your steward. The white-shirted boy said a little arrogantly.
When the people around saw that there was a dispute, they immediately gathered around, and a steward next to him saw it, and came over to the beautiful woman and said, "Take this son up, and I will receive these two guests." After speaking, he pointed to the white-shirted boy.
When the white-shirted young man saw it, he glanced at Zou Li triumphantly, and then walked upstairs, and the beautiful woman smiled apologetically at Zou Li, so she had to obey the steward.
Zou Li was not convinced, looked at the steward and said, "You -----"
Zou Fu saw it and persuaded, "Young Master, we are here to buy things according to the order of the head of the family, not to be angry with others, there is no need to be angry with such people." ”
Zou Li heard Zou Fu mention his father, held back the anger in his heart, walked to the side, and didn't bother to browse these items again.
When Zou Fu saw it, he knew that Zou Li was still sulking, so he took out the shopping list and handed it to the steward.
Baidanlou is worthy of being the largest medicinal herb shop in Wohu Town, and there are almost all the medicinal herb seeds on the list, and Zou Fu bought nearly 100 grains.
Zou Li didn't say anything after seeing it, and when he saw that the seeds were bought, he didn't speak, and then walked out of Baidan Building.
Zou Fu smiled slightly, and bought a few medicinal herbs from the steward to refine the Great Returning Pill and Peiyuan Dan, and then went out of the store to catch up with Zou Li.
When Zou Li saw Zou Fu coming up, he said to Zou Fu with a depressed expression: "Uncle Fu, am I particularly useless and ignorant?"
Zou Fu looked at the young master and said with a smile: "No, the Zou family has just been established for too short a time, and the family background is not enough." You think, the head of the family is just a dart master, and although the understanding of medicinal materials comes from your grandfather, the inheritance of your grandfather's family is not perfect. Through the efforts of the head of the family, in a short period of time, it has been able to develop to this point, which is very remarkable. As for the elixir, I also learned about it some time ago. In the process of communicating with friends, the head of the family knew that there were still elixirs in the world, and exchanged twenty Peiyuan Dan pills accumulated over the years for an elixir atlas, which is said to be the most humble kind. The reason why you don't know the preciousness of the elixir is because you were training the old man in the county some time ago. ”
