"Shopkeeper, the ginseng tea has been prepared for our distinguished guests."
A clerk from the store came over and whispered to the manager to report the matter.
Before Fu Qingyu could walk out of the store, she glanced over there after hearing this. It seemed that just as she had guessed, the steward had now become the shopkeeper.
But I didn't expect that Baicao Zhai would now cooperate with the Pei family.
Seeing that the way Steward Bai greeted Pei Jinyu, he was even more respectful than when he and his father were greeted before, and even slightly flattering.
At this time, two more people walked into the store, an older-looking man in the Jindan realm wearing a long robe, followed by a young man dressed as a Dan boy.
If the guess is correct, this man in the Golden Elixir Realm should be a famous alchemist.
As expected, he took the storage bag from Dantong with an angry face, took out several pill boxes one after another, and slapped them on the counter of the store.
"Is this how your Baicaozhai trades?"
"They are selling shoddy products as good ones, and even withered spiritual plants that are about to lose their medicinal properties are dared to be sold for takeout. If I hadn't been free today and happened to be refining alchemy in the inn, I might have had to wait until I left Linhai City to find out!"
The word "again" means that this is not the first time something like this has happened.
Fu Qingyu was about to leave but stopped suddenly. She and Fu Yu stopped by the shelf and continued listening. There were many guests who did the same thing as them, and they all looked at the golden elixir realm alchemist in surprise.
Just listen to him continue to say angrily: "It took more than a month last time to find out that there were a few dead spiritual plants mixed in the spiritual plants you sold. I brought them back and asked, but you denied it because it took too long. This time, everyone We haven’t left Linhaicheng yet, and it’s only been one day, so you can’t deny it anymore, right?”
The Jindan monk spoke very fast, dodging the guy who came to pull him away, and finished a few sentences in a hurry.
Substituting inferior products is a taboo no matter where you go.
The guests in the store changed their expressions after hearing this, lowered their voices, and whispered among themselves, seeming to be discussing whether Baicao Zhai had done such a thing.
Manager Bai, who had already walked up the stairs, felt bad when the golden elixir realm alchemist came in. The first moment he spoke, he quickened his pace and pretended not to hear. He just wanted to invite the distinguished guests from the Pei family next to him to go up first. .
But the golden elixir realm alchemist didn't get what he wanted. He caught a glimpse of his back and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Shopkeeper Bai, it turns out you are also in the store!"
"It just so happens that you are the shopkeeper, please give me an explanation!"
"Is your Baicaozhai shop a big bully? You see me as a casual cultivator with no family, so you dare to sell me inferior goods at will?"
Shopkeeper Bai couldn't avoid being named, so he had no choice but to turn around and said solemnly with a tight face: "I don't dare to take these words seriously. It has been two hundred years since Baicao Zhai was established. It has always put credibility first. Please invite this person." Guests should not slander Baicao Zhai."
The golden elixir realm alchemist was even more angry.
Shopkeeper Bai said before he could speak: "What's the specific situation? Bai will send someone to investigate. If there is really something wrong with Baicao Zhai, Bai will make the decision and be willing to pay ten times the price for compensation."
"Who wants your compensation?" the golden elixir realm monk said angrily.
Shopkeeper Bai did not argue with him anymore, but glanced at the row of pill boxes on the table that had just been photographed by the Jindan realm alchemist, and his tone became colder, "But if these things are found out, they have nothing to do with our Baicao Zhai. , for the sake of Baicao Zhai’s century-old reputation, I also ask our guests to apologize for what they said today.”
This clearly means that those medicine boxes did not come from Baicao Zhai, but were deliberately prepared by the Jindan realm alchemist or the people behind him to frame Baicao Zhai!
What he said sounded very reasonable.
When the customers in the store heard this, they all thought that what Shopkeeper Bai said was fair. After all, Baicao Zhai is one of the best trading houses in Linhai City. There are countless people who are eager for Baicao Zhai's business. They couldn't prepare for the fact that today, someone deliberately resorted to means to ruin Baicao Zhai's reputation.
The golden elixir realm alchemist wanted to make trouble again, but two monks who were no weaker than him walked out from behind the shop and invited him into the inner room to investigate the matter alone.
Shopkeeper Bai and Pei Jinyu also disappeared around the corner on the second floor.
The store, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quite quiet.
The waiter who had just greeted Fu Qingyu and Fu Yu saw that they were still in the store and said in a rather sinister tone: "What have you two guests thought about? Are you sure you want one thousand of each of the three spiritual plants?" "
Fu Qingyu glanced at her coldly.
The originally arrogant waiter suddenly felt a chill on his back, and unconsciously closed his mouth and lowered his head.
Fu Qingyu ignored her, turned around, and strode away from the Baicao Studio with Fu Yu.
After leaving the store, Fu Yu walked up to Fu Qingyu and asked in a low voice, "Do you think what the alchemist just said is true?"
It's hard to judge. In fact, it's not difficult to see that after shopkeeper Bai's words, more people in the store turned to Baopingzhai.
Fu Qingyu doesn't think so.
The golden elixir realm alchemist spoke categorically, and when he questioned shopkeeper Bai, he was only angry and not guilty at all, and he didn't seem to be pretending.
"Sure enough, you think so too." Although Fu Yu was not as advanced in spiritual consciousness as Fu Qingyu and could slightly perceive the emotions of others, he still believed that the words of the golden elixir realm alchemist were genuine and did not seem to be false.
The eyes of young people, untainted by the world, are the brightest.
Mentioning Baicaozhai, he frowned slightly, "I always feel that that shop, from the shopkeeper to the clerk, is full of arrogance. Maybe it's because their business is doing so well that there is no other shop in the city that can compare with it. .”
Isn’t that what it is?
Just like what the golden elixir realm monk said just now.
The store is bullying customers, nothing more than that.
Unexpectedly, Baicao Zhai would become like this after many years of no contact.
Or maybe Baicao Zhai was like this, but she used to represent the Fu family, and Baicao Zhai's attitude in front of her from top to bottom was the same as it is now when facing the Pei family.
There are two Baicaozhai shops in Linhai City, but Fu Qingyu has no plans to go there again.
I walked into the Jiekou Teahouse, ordered a pot of spiritual tea, and asked the waiter about the spiritual plant shops in the city.
"To say that the shop with the largest shop and the most comprehensive spiritual plants has to be Baicao Zhai."
After the teahouse clerk finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a few extra spiritual stones on the table and lowered his voice: "If the spiritual plants needed by the fairies are not of high quality, there is a small shop at the end of the second street of Dongchengmen. The price is right and the quality of the spiritual plants is also good. It’s above average.”
"Where are Yaoxiangfang and Lingcao Pavilion?" Those two were no worse than Baicao Zhai.
The clerk was slightly startled, "It seems that Fairy has heard of the three-legged situation between these two families and Baicao Zhai in Linhai City?"
"However, these two houses are no longer what they used to be. Yaoxiangfang now specializes in the sale of sixth-grade and above spiritual plants, and there are only a few people around. Lingcao Pavilion and even the big shop on the main city road have been given to Baicao Zhai... Now only the remaining There is a small shop next to the east city gate, which is the place I just recommended to the fairy."
The situation of three pillars no longer existed, and Baicaozhai was the only one left.
No wonder even the shop assistants in Baicaozhai have such arrogant attitudes.
Fu Qingyu already had plans for where to go next.
The mother and son had lunch together, and when they walked to the second street next to the East City Gate, they saw someone they didn't expect.
