Chapter Ninety-Nine: Withered Grass, Black Roots, and Bone Horns
The stall owner's cold words suddenly choked Master Qin, how can this be like a businessman?
Xiao Xiaobai, who had a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand lightly to signal Master Qin not to be impatient, and then nodded to the stall owner with a faint smile: "Okay, one hundred and thirteen, I want this thing." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info look at it again, what is the price of this?"
Glancing at a broken specimen flower in Xiao Xiaobai's hand, the stall owner stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand!"
Master Qin, who thought he was going to say two hundred, heard the two words 'two thousand' that came out of his mouth slowly, and immediately glared again, so he almost didn't go up and smack him. This guy is really a lion's mouth!
Xiao Xiaobai, who was noncommittal, picked up a black dry grass again, and gently rubbed the dry grass with his fingers to feel the touch of the cold with a hint of gloom and undetectable strange warmth, and when he was about to ask the price, the stall owner with a slight frown was a little impatient: "Boy, how many are you going to buy?"
Master Qin on the side couldn't help but be a little happy, this seller was impatient than the one who bought things! It was really interesting, did he really think that the things on his stall were priceless treasures, and he didn't worry about no one buying them?
Xiao Xiaobai, whose eyes flashed slightly, and there was a faint hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes, was not angry because of the stall owner's impatience, and picked up the two medicinal materials on the stall, and then smiled at the stall owner: "Boss, calculate the total price!"
Glancing at the two things, the stall owner, who groaned slightly, said indifferently: "Fraction is not counted, give 5,000, you take it!"
"Five thousand?" Master Qin, who was glaring, almost couldn't help but step forward and greet the stall owner with a fist. It's really special to give a little sunshine, and I think you look like a stupid person with a lot of money, right?
Xiao Xiaobai, who frowned slightly, shook his head and took out the ordinary CCB card with a smile, glanced at the POSS machine placed by the stall owner, and smiled casually: "You can swipe the card, right?"
The stall owner who nodded lightly didn't say anything, took Xiao Xiaobai's card and swiped the money neatly, and then returned five exquisite small boxes and a beautiful paper gift bag to Xiao Xiaobai along with the card.
Xiao Xiaobai, who had packed everything and put it in the gift bag, got up and left the stall with Master Qin.
"These days, everything is about packaging!" Xiao Xiaobai, who looked down at the exquisite gift bag in his hand, said with a smile.
Master Qin on the side couldn't help but smile softly and asked, "Master Xiao, the most precious of the five medicinal materials you bought should be that withered grass, right?"
Xiao Xiaobai, who glanced at Master Qin sideways, smiled noncommittally, and Master Qin, whose eyes flashed, couldn't help but say: "Master Xiao, actually, if you hadn't been holding that withered grass for a little longer just now, that guy probably wouldn't have directly offered such a high price of five thousand." ”
"Hehe, it's all mixed rice, it's not easy, why not let him take advantage of it?" Xiao Xiaobai chuckled.
Is it a small bargain? Master Qin's eyes flashed when he heard this, it seems that this young Master Xiao, who has real skills, is indeed sharp-eyed and has escaped to good things! 5,000 yuan, buy five kinds of dead branches and rotten grass, who took advantage of it, but it's hard to say!
While talking, Master Qin accompanied Xiao Xiaobai to walk through stalls seemingly casually, for most of the stalls, Xiao Xiaobai took a general look, sometimes bought a few medicinal materials casually, traded neatly, and never bargained with the stall owner.
The reason why he didn't bargain was because he didn't want to waste his time, and on the other hand, because the value of what he got far exceeded the price he paid. Although Xiao Xiaobai has not reached the realm of turning losses into blessings, he will not be unhappy because he has not taken advantage of greater advantages. People stand at different heights, and their mentality will be different after all.
Unknowingly, I visited most of the medicinal herb stalls, whether it was Xiao Xiaobai or Master Qin, they were already big bags. Although there are a lot of things, in fact, they really don't weigh much, after all, most of them are sun-dried medicinal materials, even if some lumpy rhizomes and other medicinal materials are not much heavier.
"Huh?" Xiao Xiaobai, who had just stood in front of a new stall and swept his eyes casually over the stall, suddenly stepped forward and squatted down with a slightly eager gaze, and stretched out his hand to grab a black tuberous rhizome-like medicinal herb on the stall.
It's not as big as a palm, it's a bit like ginseng, but is there black ginseng?
The stall owner was a fat man dressed plainly, and he looked at Xiao Xiaobai with a smile and carefully looked at the black tuberous rhizome that looked like ginseng, like a smiling Maitreya.
After a while, Xiao Xiaobai, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and saw the fat stall owner smiling, and understood that his performance just now was too anxious, and he was afraid that he was ready to let him be slaughtered. But when he opened his mouth to ask the price, and when the fat stall owner raised a finger with a smile and said the high price of '100,000', Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"100,000 boss, are you really not afraid to hold on?" Master Qin on the side really couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but sneer.
The fat stall owner still looked smiling, and said the same words as Xiao Xiaobai and they heard in front of the first Chinese medicine stall: "It's too expensive, then you can not buy it!"
"Swipe the card!" Xiao Xiaobai, who shook his head with a slightly wry smile, handed over the ordinary CCB card.
The fat stall owner who was stunned had a slight smile on his face, and looked at Xiao Xiaobai as if hesitantly, but he still reached out to take the card and swiped it on the POSS machine placed aside.
However, after Xiao Xiaobai took the things and left, the fat stall owner did not have a trace of a smile on his slightly frowning face, but muttered to himself with a slightly tangled expression: "Is it really something good?"
"That's it, I'm lucky, I'm sorry to lose my life! 100,000, it's not a lot!" Soon the fat stall owner shook his head, and his face once again showed the smile like Maitreya Buddha that was easy to make people feel good.
And after leaving the fat stall owner's stall, Master Qin couldn't help but hurriedly follow Xiao Xiaobai, lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Master Xiao, what kind of good thing is that thing?"
"Hehe, things are good things, but even if I say it, you don't understand," Xiao Xiaobai, who shook his head and smiled, obviously didn't mean to be open and honest with Master Qin. However, what he said was also right, how could a mortal Master Qin on the earth understand the value of the spiritual root of the immortal cultivator world, Hei Wugen?
Master Qin, who smiled when he heard this, didn't say anything more, perhaps realizing that he had been too eager just now, which might have caused the young Master Xiao to be slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
In the next few stalls, Xiao Xiaobai still bought some medicinal materials that seemed strange to Master Qin from time to time, but Master Qin didn't dare to say more and ask more, just followed silently and honestly helped carry things. Looking at Xiao Xiaobai's indifferent and casual expression, he couldn't figure out the value of these medicinal materials that Xiao Xiaobai bought, how precious and rare they were, and he didn't know the purpose of these medicinal materials.
Seeing that I had gone shopping, it took a lot of time, the sun was setting in the west, and it was almost evening, and Mr. Lin called more than ten minutes ago, but Xiao Xiaobai still insisted on shopping again and then leaving.
"It's the last stall," Seeing Xiao Xiaobai walk to the last stall and look at it, Master Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Mr. Lin had been waiting for more than twenty minutes, and it was not good for people to wait too long.
This stall is a little strange, unlike other stalls, which are mostly some medicinal herbs, but there are very few medicinal herbs, mostly some animal horns, bones, etc., which look strange and infiltrating.
Squatting down and stretching out his hand to brush those horns and bones in the air, Xiao Xiaobai squinted lightly as if he felt something, then he looked up and smiled at the old stall owner who squinted as if he was asleep and asked, "Uncle, what you have here, are you talking about catties or selling them?"
The thin old man who opened his eyelids rolled his eyelids, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes looked at Xiao Xiaobai faintly, and only after a little silence did a slightly ugly smile appear at the corner of his mouth, his tone was low and hoarse, and the old man said as if he was weak: "Young man, you pick, I will bid!"
"Okay, then take a look, what price do you need for these three?" Xiao Xiaobai nodded and smiled, pointing to a dark red unknown straight adult palm horn on the stall, a gray-black human finger-like bone joint the size of a little thumb, and a long snake bone.
The thin old man squinted his eyes along the fingers of Xiao Xiaobai's hand and groaned slightly before he spoke in a low voice: "Three hundred thousand!"
300,000 Xiao Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, looked at the old man seriously, and then nodded and smiled, and should make this last and most expensive transaction.
