"No, the agreed ten taels of silver are ten taels of silver, not even a copper penny less!"
Su Ruyi was serious.
Hu Langzhong was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this said by someone who should be a master? Why do you, an apprentice, insist on sending money away?
It was as if she was still at a loss for being charged a few taels less.
"Su Ruyi, let me tell you the truth, ten taels of silver is not worth studying for a year, and it's a dummy. Just three taels will be enough."
"Ten taels, a penny is a lot. Uncle Hu, I am serious about learning this skill from a teacher. Although I can't learn it from a real person, it is the same from a dummy. Don't argue with me."
Hu Langzhong: "This..."
This was the first time that he felt that collecting money was hot.
Su Ruyi: "Uncle Hu, in addition to teaching me acupuncture, can you also take me to collect medicine for a period of time?"
"Well, Su Ruyi, it turns out you are waiting for me here!"
Hu Langzhong was stunned for a moment and then laughed angrily and waved his hand: "Okay, if you want to go with me to collect herbs, go ahead. I'll tell you the truth, your ten taels of silver are still not worth it!"
Taking her to collect medicine would be considered an extra gift, otherwise he would really not dare to accept the ten taels of silver.
It's still hot to collect now.
In order to show her sincerity, Su Ruyi immediately took out 500 yuan as a deposit and agreed to pay the remaining money within a month.
With the master leading the way, there was indeed a harvest today. After getting several unusual herbs, Su Ruyi dug out the original soil around the herbs and put them in her basket.
Hu Langzhong took a look and said: "If you want to dig them up and plant them, don't bother. Even if these things grow well in this area, they won't be able to serve you like an uncle in another place."
Su Ruyi laughed and didn't explain much. It should be like this.
The mountains were dangerous, and the path was not the one everyone took, so Hu Langzhong led the three of them back while it was still early.
Niu'er, who was following Su Ruyi, didn't say a few words all day long and was completely distracted.
He is timid and doesn't say much, but he is not a fool. Today, he heard the incredible news from the third aunt. The third aunt actually wants to spend ten taels of silver at once!
Ten taels of silver!
How much should that be? Niu'er has never seen ten taels of silver in his life!
The third aunt is also very good at spending money...Does she have that much money?
Poor Niu'er went home and wandered around, not knowing who to tell this big news.
When it was completely dark, Zhang and Li Baozhu pushed the cart back. Although they were tired, they both had smiles on their faces. Nothing makes people happier than making money every day.
Niu'er went up to pull his mother, Li Baozhu, if he didn't talk to someone, he would explode.
Liu Cuier, who was in the kitchen, called Da Lang to watch the fire and rushed over. The four women sat together and began to take stock. Niu'er had to stand aside and stare.
Today is very different from yesterday. Su Ruyi still distributed personal money to everyone, ranging from five to eight cents. It was so small that it was negligible, but it gave everyone hope. After all, there was no such thing before, so save some for yourself. Private money is collected and saved secretly.
Su Ruyi put the remaining money in her arms and gave it to Liu Cui'er with an empty money bag. Tomorrow she and Li Baozhu would go to town.
Liu Cuier collected the money bag and stood up, ready to get the vegetables.
Su Ruyi said: "I have one more thing to tell you. Today I begged Mr. Hu to teach me acupuncture and promised to pay him a tuition fee of ten taels of silver a year."
Mrs. Zhang shook her body: "How much?"
"Ten taels of silver."
Zhang's vision went dark and she leaned back. Fortunately, Liu Cui'er and Li Baozhu were holding on to each other, so she didn't fall down.
Liu Cuier reached out and pinched her mother-in-law's middle part several times, and shouted: "Mother! Mother!"
Mrs. Zhang woke up and patted her chest with her hands: "Su Ruyi, you might as well scare me to death!"
Ten taels of silver!
Then you can marry a granddaughter-in-law!
Marrying a daughter-in-law is the time of your life and you can add more people to your family!
Ten taels of silver to learn acupuncture for one year?
So...how big is the difference between that and using ten taels of silver to make nothing?
Mrs. Zhang is so heartbroken and anxious that her head is about to burst into flames. Thinking about it, it’s not right. She has little experience, but she has never heard that it costs ten taels of silver a year to learn a skill!
"Old Man Hu is unreasonable! Su Ruyi, you have been hammered by him. How come you have to study for ten taels of silver for several years, and how come you have only been here for one year? This Old Man Hu!"
Mrs. Zhang was in a state of confusion. At this time, she didn’t know whether to focus on her daughter-in-law’s study of medicine, on the ten taels of silver she spent a year, or on the cunning old man Hu who had the nerve to ask for ten taels of silver. !
As soon as I thought too much, my mind went blank. I sat blankly at the table and stared at Su Ruyi.
Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu were also frightened, and the color of their faces changed, but Niu'er next to them breathed a sigh of relief. Now it's better, and they don't have to worry about this matter.
Quietly he ran to the kitchen where the cat caught fire.
Su Ruyi was smiling and not at all panicked: "Mom, sister-in-law, don't worry, you don't need to worry about the money, I can handle it myself. As for the ten taels of silver, I raised it myself, and I didn't mess around with others. It doesn't matter that the doctor is a decent man, he only wanted to take three taels of silver from me, and I forced it on him."
Three women: "..."
For a moment, I felt like I had a lot of words to say and almost spewed them out, but when I reached my mouth, I couldn't say anything.
What should I say?
Did they hear wrongly?
People only need three taels, but you have to force them to take ten taels?
What person with a normal brain can do this?
Su Ruyi: "Anyway, it's just this matter. Let me tell you. In the future, people will come to teach me, so don't be surprised."
Zhang finally caught something in his mind and shouted: "Su Ruyi, are you out of your mind?! If someone wants three taels, you can just give them three taels. Don't you feel comfortable if you don't spend more money?" What’s wrong with this!”
It’s not one or two more taels, it’s seven taels more! More than three times more!
What kind of madness is this!
Su Ruyi said: "Mom, I have my own reasons for giving more money. There is no harm in spending more money to learn skills. I believe in Hu Langzhong's ability and character."
If you just give someone a few taels of silver, you probably won't have any hope of collecting herbs.
She is a woman, and in this era, most masters would definitely not be willing to accept her.
Of course, these are just some of them.
Some advantages can be taken advantage of and some cannot.
For example, if you go to a clothing store to buy clothes, if you can reduce the price, you can talk about it, and you will earn what you talk about.
But if you want to go to a beauty salon for a massage, you have to negotiate a price with them. Maybe the price is negotiated down and you think you are making a profit, but the service you get may be greatly discounted.
On the contrary, if you tip people beforehand, you will most likely get more value for money.
The same goes for studying under a teacher.
