Summer thunderstorms come and go very quickly. It was still raining heavily at night. By the next morning, the mountain road was dry and mud-free. Instead, the rain washed away a lot of the heat and scorching heat of summer. The sun seems to have changed from the original fierce and restless to gentle and quiet.
On the clean mountain road, two people were walking at the moment. A young man carrying a medicine basket and a dazzling colorful tiger skin tied around his waist. I don’t know how many passers-by attracted the attention along the way. A young girl holding an oilcloth umbrella. , wearing a pure white dress, her beautiful face and graceful figure attracted the attention of many passers-by.
The two chatted happily from time to time, and occasionally let out one or two cheerful laughs. Even the sunlight falling on the floral oilcloth umbrella seemed to be tainted with some light and lively moods.
After looking at the city gate not far away, Zhou Baopu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and looked at the girl who looked even brighter under the sunlight, and said with a smile: "I asked you to follow me, but you Don't make trouble with me. Otherwise, I won't let you follow me next time."
Yao Ruoxi looked at Zhou Baopu's serious look, twitched her nose slightly, made a face at Zhou Baopu, and then said nonchalantly : "I'm not a child anymore, do you still need to teach me? Besides, I've never been to this Holy Stone Town, so why do I need your teaching?" "I'm kindly telling you, be careful
. It's always good. After all, Shengshi Town is not as good as Zhoujia Village. There are some things you should pay attention to." "
Okay, okay, you've said it a hundred times along the way. Why are you so annoyed? It's my mother-in-law's, yes Aren't you a man?"
"Am I a man? Do you still want to try?"
"You!"
Yao Ruoxi frowned in shame and anger, but then she smiled again.
Just when Zhou Baopu was puzzled, he heard Yao Ruoxi's words again, and his face immediately turned as pale as pig liver, and he couldn't even find a suitable step to step off the stage.
"Baopu, I really want to try it to see if you are a man? How about you take off your clothes now and let me inspect the goods first, do you agree?" Zhou Baopu was stunned and looked at the pedestrians coming and going
. , couldn't help but didn't know how to respond, and was stunned on the spot for a moment.
"Oh, don't look at your pretentious talk, it turns out it's just a silver pewter gun tip!"
Yao Ruoxi ridiculed Zhou Baopu, feeling very relieved, and a victorious smile appeared on the girl's face. This is one of the few Zhou Baopu was speechless, and Yao Ruoxi walked towards the city gate regardless of Zhou Baopu's face, which turned into the color of pig's liver.
When Zhou Baopu realized what he was doing, Yao Ruoxi had already walked far away, and he quickly chased her away, fearing that he would lose Yao Ruoxi.
He chased Yao Ruoxi at the gate of the city, handed over ten stone coins to one of the city guards and entered the city. Zhou Baopu took Yao Ruoxi to a shop in a familiar manner.
Before he even reached the door, Zhou Baopu had already shouted at the top of his lungs!
"Brother Wang, I have brought you a lot of good herbs this time. You must give me a good price!" "
It's little brother Baopu. Don't worry. If the price I give you is unfair, , will you come to my place every time to sell medicinal herbs?" He
really didn't see him, but heard his voice first. As soon as Zhou Baopu finished speaking, a young man in his twenties had already walked out of the medicine shop.
When he saw the colorful tiger skin tied around Zhou Baopu's waist, the look in Wang Er's eyes immediately became more intense, as if he had seen the shining stone coins.
Ignoring Wang Er's heated gaze at Tiger Skin, Zhou Baopu had already become numb to the looks people were giving him along the way.
"Is business going well lately?"
Before the transaction, we talked about friendship first. This was not the first time that Zhou Baopu came to visit, and it was not the first time that he did business with this Wang Er, so they started to chat with each other.
"Brother Baopu, in today's world, you also know that small shops like ours that are willing to do business are not as good as those big shops!" Zhou Baopu knew clearly that what Wang Er said was true.
Like Wang Er, 2. Small drug stores like this really can't make much money, because the purchase prices of large stores are often one or two stones higher than those of these small stores. However, ordinary hunters still will not choose to go directly to large stores for purchase. trade.
Ordinarily, a person like Zhou Baopu, who regards wealth as his life, should think of going to a big store to trade, so that he can make more money, but Zhou Baopu also knows that there are often some local ruffians in those big stores, and they often go there. Stalking, once caught, there will definitely be some trouble.
Therefore, small shops like Wang Er's were born under such unspoken rules. However, there are many drug stores. If they do not have a good reputation and the prices are too low, the business will definitely be bleak and they will not make much money. Money, some even had to close their doors.
"If someone else said this, maybe I would still believe it. But Brother Wang, if you say this, I will say that you are humble. Who doesn't know your brother Wang's character? Under the same circumstances of the same medicinal materials, you always If you give me more stone coins and live a long life, which hunter selling medicinal materials won't come to you?" "
You know how to talk, tell me, what good things did you bring this time?"
"Good things, you won't Have you seen it all?"
Zhou Baopu took off the tiger skin from his waist, didn't even bother to unfold it, and handed it to Wang Er. At the same time, he also walked into Wang Er's small medicine shop and slowly He sat down casually and began to rummage through his medicine basket.
"This tiger skin is a good thing!"
He grabbed it tightly, as if the tiger skin would fly away. After seeing the perfection of the tiger skin, Wang Er's eyes were very sophisticated. , it was obvious at a glance that this tiger was fatally wounded by a knife from the throat, and he couldn't help but raise his evaluation of Zhou Baopu to another level in his heart.
There was not a single crack. This tiger skin was so perfect that Wang Er, who had always been picky, had nothing to say, and his desire to buy this tiger skin became more and more eager and passionate.
Although he was thinking this way, Wang Er also knew that he was smart, and Zhou Baopu was even smarter than him. He didn't dare to show any abnormality at all, and just said casually: "I didn't expect you kid to give me such a big surprise. Even a tiger can come here."
"It's just a coincidence. Speaking of it, I'm just lucky. Otherwise, if I encounter such a beast, the outcome may not be what it is." "You
kid, do it again. Am I being naughty? Do you think I don’t know that luck is also a part of strength. If you don’t have enough strength, no matter how strong your luck is, can you still change your destiny?" Wang Er said with a smile
. I thought I would flatter you a little first, and it would be best if you were embarrassed to take this tiger skin away from me.
It seems that Wang Er knows very well that in transactions, no matter how strong a friendship is, sometimes it is just a bargaining chip for discussing price and grabbing benefits.
At this moment, Zhou Baopu gently and slowly took out another thing from the basket on his back and said to Wang Er: "Brother Wang, look, what else did I bring you?"
Wang Er shouted after hearing this. , Deng Ran was startled, and slowly opened his mouth, his face suddenly changed, and he laughed: "I wanted to keep calm at first, so I could have some confidence when we negotiate the price right away. Who knew that you kid would always let me be surprised!"
