Chapter 123: Raising the price

"Okay, good!" Yuan Lao laughed angrily, "The old man has been in this Rejuvenation Hall for sixty years, and he doesn't dare to say that he is familiar with more than 30,000 medicinal herbs, and you are so boastful of Haikou at such a young age! Today I want to see how you talk and how you slap yourself in the face!"

Qi Tian only looked at Yuan Lao who stood up calmly, "I said that you don't have to be so angry." ”

"Hmph! Today, on behalf of the Rejuvenation Hall, I will use you, a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys! Everyone in the province wants to drill into our Rejuvenation Hall!" Yuan Lao said this, he had already thought clearly, now Yang Yuzhen needs to go to the mountain as soon as possible, and the sooner the matter of recruiting apprentices in the Rejuvenation Hall is resolved, the more time will be left for Yang Yuzhen to deter those second shopkeepers!

"Come on, put up a stage in front of my rejuvenation hall! I'm going to expose your kid's lies in public!" Yuan Lao slapped the table, the door opened, and the little guy who came in kept his head down, "Give you a stick of incense time to prepare!"

"Yes!" the little guy stepped back respectfully, not even glancing at Qi Tian's upper.

"Since you always do that, then I always have to tell me about my conditions. Qi Tian sat down on the rattan chair next to the patriarch on his own feet, "You want to use me to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and make me embarrassed in front of everyone in the former village." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lao sneered, "Young man, this is purely your own doing! If you hadn't told this big lie yourself, how could I have calculated it? The people in Qianzhuang all wanted to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, and they didn't care if they were the material!"

"If I had deceived first, then it would be okay for you to be dragged out to inform the public. Qi Tian smelled the rich fragrance of the tea and was full of spiritual power, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, took a cup of tea, drank it directly, and suddenly felt a warm current dissolve in his stomach, and went straight to the hundred points of his limbs.

"You!" Yuan Lao saw Qi Tian's action, and his beard exploded even more angrily, "You! you are really a sven scum, a hooligan ruffian!"

"Why are you always in such a hurry to make a conclusion?" Qi Tian put down his cup leisurely, "Have you ever thought that if all this I wrote is true, then I am an authentic master, but for your own purposes, you actually play monkey like a monkey to let others see my exclusive secret technique of identifying herbs, this is a bit inappropriate, right?"

"Hmph, master level, idiot talking about dreams!" Yuan Lao snorted coldly, obviously still not believing it, "Young man, don't think that this place is closed, I don't know the news of the outside world, if you can understand 30,000 herbs, even if it is the Qian family, they will invite you to be the guest of honor in the Medicine Pavilion!

"Oh, how can I listen to what you say, this place is not a good place?" Qi Tian said as if playfully, but he was very attentive to this old man's words, could it be that this is a way to reach the top of the mountain? But not the only way? There are some high-level people who don't need to come here?

"It's no secret that you want to talk to the old man, so it's okay to tell you. Yuan Lao looked at Qi Tian proudly, "Anyone with a big background and great skills will not take this road!"

"Oh," Qi Tian nodded, acquiescing to this statement, and then changed the subject, "Then let's discuss, you treat me like a monkey and let me test it in front of everyone with my exclusive, ancestral herb-identifying skills, so what kind of reward should you give me?"

"Reward? You still want me to give you the reward of this liar? It's bigger than once, and I think the fine of two thousand is less!" Yuan Lao drank a cup of tea angrily.

"What you always said is based on the fact that I am a film," Qi Tian was also speechless at this stubborn old man, I don't know what kind of devastation the old man has experienced in this day, and he is so vigilant, "However, I am really not a liar." So, you're now ordering a master-level person to reveal his secret method of identifying herbs. ”

"What did you say?" Old Yuan looked at Qi Tian dumbfounded.

"I said, once I've identified all the herbs, then you'll have to pay me in addition to my apprenticeship!"

"Do I still have to pay you?" Yuan Laoqi's voice changed, in his mind, the world has really changed now, everyone who can come to Qianzhuang has it, and even liars are so good at pretending to be cow B, "You really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!"

"Then we must set a reasonable price in business," Qi Tian thought for a while, "Identifying herbs itself is the work of the pharmacists in the Rejuvenation Hall, so according to the identification of a low-level herb with three gold, the identification of a high-grade herb with ten gold, and the identification of a scarce herb with 100 gold, and if I can mine the medicinal effect of each herb, each medicinal effect ranges from two to two hundred gold, right?"

"So what?" Yuan Lao snorted coldly, but his trembling hand still slightly exposed his nervousness, and he said in his heart that this liar is really too good at pretending! Now he is bluffing, just to make him scared, right? He must not shake his faith!

"Don't be nervous when you're old, the money for identifying herbs is estimated to be out of your own pocket, but the money for the excavation function must be given by the Rejuvenation Hall, you have been in the Rejuvenation Hall for hundreds of years, and you still care about this? Not to mention, it's a one-and-done thing," Qi Tian patted the old man on the shoulder, "Then let's continue to count!"

"And?" Yuan Lao has lived a long time now, and his mind is beginning to worry that he is not afraid of 10,000, but he is afraid of what if! This young man will not really know so many herbs, will he? If this is true, then at least he will have to pay a lot of money out of his pocket!

"Of course, the former Zhuang clearly stipulated that the introduction fee for a show with an audience of more than 5,000 people will be at least 2,500 gold, and this demonstration is the identification of medicinal herbs, so I will go out and be played by you as a monkey, at least you will give it to me-" Qi Tian calculated, "At least 5,000 gold! This is not the most important thing, the important thing is that among this, I want to use the ancestral and exclusive technology of identifying herbs, which should be classified in the inheritance, right?"

Yuan Lao's face was a little pale and a little sweaty.

"How much gold does it cost to show the inheritance? What if every time I identify herbs, the public will use a secret technique?" Qi Tian thought of this, and couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that if this person was lucky, you would apply for a job to become a clerk, and the manager would have to send you a year-end bonus first!

"Young man, after all, this is still the territory of my Rejuvenation Hall, who would avoid birth, old age, sickness and death?" Yuan Lao pretended to be calm, "Don't deceive people too much!"

"Yes, yes, haha," Qi Tian smiled awkwardly, his smile was a little shy, and he couldn't help but complain to himself in his heart, he really saw that his eyes were open!

Qi Tian touched his nose with one hand, and his voice was much softer, just like a little daughter-in-law who had just married into the door, "Then I'll give you a discount! No matter how many times I use the secret technique, you can just pay 3,000 gold! Then I will go to the stage to identify the common price code of the herbs, and calculate it for you according to the friendly price, and I will collect a total of 8,000 gold from you! But the money that the Rejuvenation Hall wants to give will be one yard to the same yard!"

"Young man," Yuan Lao also had an embarrassed smile on his face, it was really Qi Tian's money-counting appearance, and the foolish smile on his face that seemed to have made a lot of money made him feel furious!" "You tell your grandfather, are you really in terms of identifying herbs?"

"Dangdang Dang!" came a knock on the door, and then the door opened, "Old Yuan, the display table has been built, and all the shopkeepers have gathered, now you can start!"

Yuan Lao raised his head at this moment, but he kept muttering in his heart, he really hoped that this young man in front of him was a complete liar! Eight thousand gold! He had saved for sixty years, and he had only saved more than sixty thousand gold with such conscientious work! "Okay, let's start then!"

Qi Tian followed Yuan Lao out of the Rejuvenation Hall, and saw that the wide road in front of the Rejuvenation Hall had been half blocked, and this half of the road was a platform made of wood, the platform was only more than one meter high, one zhang wide, one zhang long, boxy, surrounded by people.

Yuan Lao went to greet the few second shopkeepers sitting at the bottom of the stage, and after only saying a few words, Qi Tian felt that all the eyes over there were looking towards this side, and one of the young women who looked less than thirty years old even showed a 'warm' smile to Qi Tian.

After a while, the little guy who was originally following Yuan Lao took a gong in his hand and went to the stage.

"Dangdangdang......"

After three gongs, the audience was silent.

"Today I Huichun Hall recruits apprentices, the fathers and villagers of Qianzhuang, regardless of men, women and children, have come to us in front of the Huichun Hall, come together to make a fun, thank you in advance for your support!"

"Only there are only two masters in my Rejuvenation Hall who have the qualifications to review the qualifications of apprentices, and the population of my former village is as high as 30,000! Today is only one morning, the queue of people is close to 3,000, our hall master has worked hard to see more than 400 people, but unfortunately no one has the relevant ability! Such a delay is not only a waste of our Rejuvenation Hall's time, but also a delay in the time of many blind dates!"

Qi Tian looked at this little guy indifferently facing more than 5,000 people, and what he said was neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and well-founded, and his heart said that this little guy was very good in terms of speech level and psychological quality.

"For this reason, I have decided internally that those who have the ability will go up, and those who are not suitable for my work in the Rejuvenation Hall might as well work hard in their own posts! Today, Chef Wang next door has come to my Rejuvenation Hall to participate in the application, so many employees of my Rejuvenation Hall are hungry. The little guy made a joke, and looked around at the crowd.

"To make a long story short, now, I'm going to start a test in the Rejuvenation Hall, an aptitude test to see if I can become an apprentice!"
