Chapter 34 (1/2)
In front of a spacious medicine shop, a middle-aged man with a cotton padded jacket and a vicissitudes of face was thrown out of the medicine shop by two strong men.
”If you don't go, let the city guard take you down. You can't go if you want to go!”
A man in brocade and fur stood behind two strong men and threatened the middle-aged man.
”Big shopkeeper, how can you do this!”
The middle-aged man was thrown to the ground and didn't get up. His face was anxious: ”we clearly agreed that it wasn't the price. You asked me to take this silver back. How can I explain it to the guys in the village!”
”How to explain is your business, not mine.”
The man called the big shopkeeper threw off his sleeves and turned around to go back to the store.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man climbed and hugged the big shopkeeper's leg.
”Bastard...”
The big shopkeeper gave the two strong men a look.
The two strong men nodded slightly, took out a thick short stick from their waist and swung it behind the middle-aged man.
However, just as the stick was about to fall on the middle-aged man, the big shopkeeper suddenly stopped.
”Slow!”
The big shopkeeper snapped.
This was not because he suddenly showed kindness, but because he noticed a young man in black armour and guards in the crowd around him.
The young man looked at himself calmly and expressionless.
The big shopkeeper had a sudden heart. He wanted to kick the middle-aged man directly, but he was watched by the young black armour guard. He just squeezed a smile from his face.
”Brother...”
The big shopkeeper bent down and held the middle-aged man's arm: ”sorry, I suddenly remembered that I was wrong.”
”Ah?”
The middle-aged man looked at the big shopkeeper who suddenly changed his face and didn't react for a while.
Before he got the agreed price, he was ready to be beaten and asked for.
But the big shopkeeper seems to have suddenly changed his temper.
”Three hundred Liang is still missing.”
Then the big shopkeeper took out three silver tickets and sent them to the middle-aged man.
”Go back and tell your fellow countrymen.”
”Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss!”
The middle-aged man was flattered. He stood up and bowed down for many times before he left with gratitude.
The short farce ended, and the pedestrians who had surrounded here dispersed.
But Xu Ning didn't go and stood still.
Feng Sigua also followed Xu Ning.
”My lord...”
Seeing this, the big shopkeeper came up and licked a smile on his face: ”do you want to buy medicinal materials?”
Xu Ning glanced at the big shopkeeper and didn't answer.
He saw the performance of the big shopkeeper just now.
He was also very clear that if he had not been here just now, the man would not have been able to get the 300 taels of silver even if he had been beaten away.
”My lord...”
The big shopkeeper saw that Xu Ning ignored him, but he didn't leave. He was a little anxious for a time.
He lowered his head and gave a look to a strong man. Then the strong man nodded and left quickly.
”Lao Feng, let's go in and have a look.”
Xu Ning also wants to see what the industry under Dayuan commercial firm looks like.
Feng Sigua must be 30 years old, much older than Xu Ning. It's not too much for Xu Ning to call him old Feng.
However, Xu Ning's relatively close title made Feng Sigua secretly happy again.
Xu Ning stepped in, and the big shopkeeper followed.
”There are a lot of herbs...”
There are many kinds of medicinal materials in the shop.
Xu Ning looked at it with big eyes, and the quality was not bad.
After reading around, Xu Ning went up the second floor again.
On the second floor, Xu Ning saw the elixir.
”Swallow tail, three hundred and twenty one?”
Xu Ning stood in front of a swallow tail flower and looked at the price. He thought it was not cheap.
At that time, Guo ye took care of himself and gave himself only one hundred and eighty-two swallow tails.
Tao Yungang supplied other medicine shops in the county and the price of the harvest was 200 Liang.
Here, it is directly raised by 50%.
However, Xu Ning can understand that this is to open a shop. Both rent and manpower need money.
”Can you see the quality of this swallow tail flower? If you want to buy it, I'll give you half price directly.”
The big shopkeeper saw Xu Ning stop in front of the swallow tail flower, so he quickly said.
Xu Ning didn't expect the big shopkeeper to be so generous.
”The half price is only one hundred and fifty Liang. Are you afraid you have to do a loss business?”
