"How is it?" After the shopkeeper put down the elixir, Hejian Chuyun asked.
She still had her legs crossed, but she barely had any seeds to knock on.
"Old witch, your posture is quite arrogant."
"Stop talking, please."
"..."
Just as she was talking to Shen Yi, the shopkeeper opposite also put down the Beast Preservation Pill in his hand, but he did not answer her question directly, but looked at her deeply, with a bit of disbelief and uncertainty in his eyes. asked: "Are you an alchemist?"
She shook her head, reacted very calmly, and told her "original reason".
Anyway, it's still the same story. He came from Beiluo Jiaoquan for experience, encountered some misfortune on the way and was separated from the family elders.
It works really well. Even if the listener suspects something, he or she doesn't have the intention to investigate.
And the shopkeeper didn't suspect anything and nodded after listening.
Also, these beast-enhancing pills were at least made by the Lupai alchemist. If the girl in front of her was an alchemist, she would not be so young.
"Are these beast-enhancing pills fake?"
"No."
"What do you want the shopkeeper to do?"
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and asked first: "How is the girl going to sell it?"
"Eighteen taels per piece."
"Can it be less?"
"You have also seen the quality of these beast-accumulating pills. They are no worse than those made by your employer. How to sell them? I believe that as the shopkeeper, you have many ideas."
"Girl, ten ounces of money per month sounds like a lot, but I haven't saved much over the years. Besides, if my employer finds out, I'll have to suffer a lot, otherwise..."
"No……"
Originally, Hejian Chuyun wanted to hold on to it and sell as much as possible for a beast-enhancing pill, but because of Shen Yi's suggestion, she swallowed what she wanted to say, pretending to be in a difficult position.
"Shopkeeper, you also know that these beast-accumulating pills are not cheap when sold. If I had no choice, I would not be in a hurry to take action."
"Hey, girl, let me tell you the truth. All the money in my family is more than a hundred taels. I can't eat much. I wonder how much of these beast-accumulating pills you can get out?"
"I'd like to take them all if I can."
"this……"
"Forget it, just treat me as a friend of the shopkeeper, how about seventeen taels?" Tsurumi Chuyun said, looking at the bag of Beast-enhancing Pills on the table with a little reluctance in his eyes.
However, the shopkeeper seemed a little dissatisfied when it was reduced to seventeen taels per dollar. He was thinking about something and wanted to fight for it again.
She looked at his expression, and Shen Yi also looked at it. After a while, when the shopkeeper opened his mouth to speak, Shen Yi took the lead and said: "Old witch, hurry up, take it and leave, saying you won't sell it anymore, it's such a loss."
"Is this okay?"
"You listen to me, people are dead for money. If you buy it for eighteen taels, you can still make a lot of money by selling it. He won't be able to part with it."
…
She hesitated, but then the shopkeeper had already spoken.
"Girl, how about this? I can buy these beast-accumulating pills..."
Before he finished speaking, He made up his mind when he saw Chuyun. He suddenly reached out and picked up the bag containing the beast-enhancing pill. After standing up, he said coldly: "Shopkeeper, since you are not sincere, let's stop here. Although My money is a bit tight, but it’s not to the point where I have to sell it, and besides, my life is still hungry.”
After saying that, she was about to walk out the door. As expected, this behavior made the shopkeeper's face change, and he quickly blocked her way.
"Girl, if you have something to say, I'll buy it. I'll just buy it."
"How much to buy?"
"Buy seven."
"One hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods, a total of one hundred and twenty-six taels."
"One hundred and twenty-six? Shouldn't it be one hundred and nineteen?"
"I changed my mind. Eighteen taels a piece, no less."
"This... girl, I only have about one hundred and twenty guan of spare money at home. If you sell eighteen taels for one piece, I can only buy six. I will hand it to you for a total of 108 guan. If you sell it for ten taels, Seven taels, I can buy one more. You know, after leaving this alchemy hall, few people dare to buy the elixir in your hand."
Before He Jian Chuyun could reply, Shen Yi swung his tail in his conscious space and said: "Old witch, sell it, seventeen taels is seventeen taels. Anyway, your cost is there, you won't lose, so get the money first Let’s talk about it when we get it.”
She didn't respond, and she understood the reason. She pretended to be embarrassed, and finally nodded.
"Then... ok, seventeen taels of one beast-accumulating pill is enough."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, rest here for a while. I will order someone to get the money now."
Tsurumi Chuyun nodded and watched the shopkeeper open the door and run out, shouting someone's name.
"Bai Gui! Bai Gui! Where are you?"
"Shopkeeper, I'm here!"
"Take two guys to my house and ask my wife to send all the money at home. Go quickly."
"all?"
"That's all. Go quickly and don't delay me."
"..."
In the room, Tsurumi Chuyun sat down quietly. It was only then that she took a sip of tea, then held her cheek and looked at a painting hanging on the wall in front of her.
"One hundred and nineteen taels is not much. Didn't you say you could sell them all?"
"You ask me? How did I know that the shopkeeper is so poor?"
"Alas~"
"Would you like to let my master know before you talk to me next time? You forgot about it again in a few days."
"Oh, Master."
…
After burning incense for a while, she vaguely heard noisy sounds coming from outside. However, the room only had a skylight, and the surrounding areas were closed. The one facing the north was against an earthen wall, and she could not see it from inside the room. What's going on outside?
After another four or five minutes, the door was finally pushed open, and the shopkeeper walked in, holding a bag of money in his hand and placing it on the table.
"Girl, one hundred and nineteen taels, count them."
She nodded, took the bag and carried it. The portion was very large. She opened the bag and took a cursory glance. In addition to a few silver ingots, there were several slings of copper coins inside. The amount should be about the same.
After putting the money away, she took out seven beast-enhancing pills and handed them to the other party, then said: "I won't disturb you anymore, I'll leave now and see you tomorrow."
With that said, she walked out, and the shopkeeper didn't stop her.
"Walk slowly."
He took out a piece of cloth, wrapped the seven beast-enhancing pills and put them into his sleeves, watching Tsurumi Chuyun walk out of the room.
She did not walk from the front door, but tiptoed to the roof like a flying swallow, and landed in the alley outside.
Not long after she left, the shopkeeper laughed.
He is the only elixir shop in the entire Fenghe Town. It is not difficult for him to sell these beast-acquiring elixirs.
If they are all sold at a price of twenty-three cents, he can earn forty-two cents, which is almost as much as his regular profit in half a year.
The man who was cleaning the alchemy furnace by the well noticed the smile on the shopkeeper's face and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Bi, what did the girl talk to you about just now?"
When he heard someone calling him, the smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared and he shook his head and said: "It's nothing, just some housework. By the way, you go and tell the others that I will be the host tonight and take everyone to have a delicious meal. "
"Ouch, shopkeeper, are you really telling a lie?"
"..."
…
On the other side, Tsurumi Chuyun returned to the inn after leaving the elixir shop, spent a little more than half an hour putting on makeup, and then left again by jumping out of the window with a face that no one recognized. Inn.
Standing firm on the ground, she walked towards the medicine house.
There are three drug stores in Fenghe Town, one is on the west side of the town, and the other two are on the east side of the town, and the one she wants to go to is the one on the west side.
As soon as she entered the door, she took out the list of materials she had made without saying anything. Because she was suspected by the medicine shop owner when she was selling medicine in Longchun Town, she did not choose to buy all the medicine at once this time.
Instead, he divided the miscellaneous pills such as Yun Beast Pill, Yuan Yuan Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Urgent Travel Pill, etc. into two parts and staggered them to buy, so as to avoid being suspected of anything.
However, the first time she did this, she naturally bought more medicinal materials, and in the end she spent a little more than seventy-three taels.
As for the rest, she would go to the two pharmacies on the east side to buy it.
The Yaolu shopkeeper seemed to have some questions after taking the money, but Tsurushi pretended to be mute when he saw Chuyun and ignored his words. After getting the required materials, he counted them and left without looking back.
She left very quickly, crossing several streets in one breath. After finally confirming that no one was following her, she slowly relaxed.
She bought some meat buns on the roadside to fill her stomach, and then hurried to the Yaolu in the east of the town.
Because most of the medicinal materials have been purchased, it will only cost more than thirty taels of silver to make up for the rest.
Tsurumi Chuyun did the math and found that in addition to other elixirs, she could refine the ordinary beast-enhancing pill for seven furnaces, but the fine beast-enhancing pill could not be determined yet.
After doing this, she now had less than twenty-four taels of silver left. Thinking of the long journey from here to Zhu's home in Dahongjiang Prefecture, she looked for the stables in Fenghe Town and prepared to buy a horse. Horses are used for traveling.
Perhaps it had not been open for a long time, but the owner of the stable was very happy when he saw customers coming. He immediately took Tsurumi Hatsuun to visit, and kept talking about how good his horses were, and that he would never sell inferior horses. .
But the funny thing is that Tsurumi Chuyun was very relaxed at first, but when she asked about the price, she was dumbfounded as soon as the boss opened his mouth.
In this stable, the cheapest horse costs thirty cents!
When Tsurumi Mansion was still there, she always had horses and other things at her disposal, and she had never learned anything about horses. To her, no matter how expensive a horse was, it was still as expensive as a cow.
Her eyes swept over every horse in the stable, somewhat unwillingly.
"Can it be cheaper?"
"No, if this horse hadn't gotten old and had some problems, I wouldn't have thought of selling it. Before, this horse was sold for more than forty taels, but thirty taels is already very cheap."
"But I only have twenty-three coins, and I don't have much more. How about you being accommodating?"
"this……"
"And you also said that there is something wrong with this horse, and I will have to take care of it on the road."
"Girl, you also understand that nowadays there is a war in the north, and most of the horses of ordinary people have been requisitioned by those soldiers. It is not easy to keep these. It is only thirty coins, not a penny less. I can also give you some feed."
"Twenty-three hangings, do you want to sell it? If not, I'll leave."
The stable owner's face was full of reluctance. This seven ounces of money was not a small amount, and he couldn't bargain like this.
"There is a problem, but look at the tendon meat on this horse. It's hard to buy it even in Weizhou, let alone in Changzhou."
"Forget it if you don't want to sell it." Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Tsurumi Chuyun turned around and walked out of the stable. The boss behind him wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing. He shook his head and left with his hands behind his hands. .
After leaving the stable, He saw Chuyun leaning listlessly under a tree with his arms folded. Shen Yi sighed: "The old witch is so pitiful. She has no horse to ride, so she can only walk."
"Stop making trouble, I'm so annoyed now."
"Am I annoyed? I wanted to help you, okay, I won't say anything, and you can just walk slowly with your feet."
"Huh? How can you help me?"
"..."
"talk."
"..."
"Master, I was wrong, okay?"
"You beg me."
"please."
"Who is begging me?"
"Master, Chu Yun was wrong, please."
"That's pretty much it."
"Tell me how you can help me."
"Well...I still have some money."
"...Didn't you lend it all to me?"
"Huh? When did I say I would lend it all to you?"
"Okay, how much money do you have left?" Tsurumi Chuyun's eyes lit up with a light called hope.
"One hundred and thirty taels, maybe more than one hundred and thirty taels. If there are more, they will be gone."
"Lend it to me."
"Who are you? You just borrowed it when you asked? You haven't paid back the hundred taels I borrowed from you before."
"I'll just pay you back later."
"...I'll lend you ten taels and let you buy a horse."
"Oh." He Jian Chuyun nodded and let Shen Yi get the ten taels of silver. She immediately cheered up and turned around and walked quickly towards the stable.
When they arrived at the stable, the boss saw that she was a little impatient again, and he didn't take out the old horse until she handed over thirty taels of silver.
But He Jianchuyun was a little dissatisfied after looking around. Maybe he thought that Shen Yi still had more than a hundred taels of silver in his storage space, so he wanted to buy the most expensive one. Naturally, it was a good horse, because it carried The thin demon bloodline can run six hundred miles a day without stopping, but the price is eighty-six cents.
Shen Yi was not happy at that time and said angrily: "Do you think you are still the eldest lady? Just buy any horse and ride it. Everything has to be the most expensive, right?"
"Master~"
"There's no point in calling daddy."
"I... that horse is very old. No one knows how far it can go. If something goes wrong, I have to take time to take care of it. If it dies, wouldn't the thirty taels of silver be wasted? Master? , please, don’t you like your neck, can I go back and touch it for you?”
"I'm sorry..."
"Is that okay?"
"..."
After her pleading, Shen Yi couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that he might not be able to use the money if he kept it, so he lent it all to her.
And Tsurumi Chuyun's debt to him also changed from one hundred taels to two hundred and thirty taels.
Now this down-and-out young lady is heavily in debt.
A few minutes later, she put the horse away with her magical weapon, bought some good feed, spent a total of eighty-eight taels of silver, and left the stable happily.
She borrowed another one hundred and thirty taels from Shen Yi. Even after buying the horse, she still had a lot of money, a total of sixty-four taels. And she didn't want to keep the money and planned to buy some other things. .
But just as she was thinking about her next plan, Shen Yi in the conscious space suddenly stopped rotating and said seriously: "Old witch, it's bad, someone is following us." (End of this chapter)
