I really can't control myself

The excitement has finished, and the people around are gradually dispersing.

The elixir shop was smashed into such a state that it was obviously unable to operate. The girl who seemed to be the shop owner simply tidied up and then quickly closed the shop door.

The next step was obviously the time to tell the whole story, because Chu Chengwen here was very cooperative and started asking about the situation.

The girl here introduced herself first. The girl's name is Xu Xinyi, and she is indeed the shopkeeper of the Anxin Tang Alchemy Shop.

There are obviously some problems for a girl of this age to be the shopkeeper of a shop. Of course Chu Chengwen also noticed this, so he asked directly.

Sure enough, the girl's family had just suffered a catastrophe. The girl's father, who was the original pillar of the family, got into trouble and was killed. My mother fell ill immediately after hearing this and is still lying in bed.

The couple had no other children, she was the only daughter, so she had no choice but to be the shopkeeper.

"The character of this classic suffering heroine..." Linton next to him couldn't help but said after hearing this.

"Ahem..." Chu Chengwen couldn't help coughing and wanted to remind him. After all, they were still talking about tragic things.

The girl was obviously not the head of the family before. If the Lingzhou world does not pay attention to the matters of cultivating immortals, the overall society is still somewhat similar to ancient China, so ordinary girls will not go out of their way to show off, but Xu Xinyi's family really has nothing to do. .

The so-called house leak happens when it rains all night, and it is obviously not unusual for a few people to make trouble during unlucky times.

The person who was scared away by Linton just now was Lian Yeyu. She was Ye Rushuang, the daughter of the famous Ye family in Yangcheng. I really came here just to add insult to injury.

Several people under her said that there was something wrong with the elixirs they bought in this elixir shop. After taking them, their family members' condition did not get better, but became more serious, so they came to ask for an explanation.

But people with a little bit of brains also know that this is just an excuse, obviously just to cause trouble. These people actually came to the store to buy elixirs. Because their father passed away, the elixir shop had almost no business these days. Everyone obviously didn't trust the new shopkeeper, so Xu Xinyi still remembered these people very clearly.

However, you said that the elixir was not taken well and the patient was not seen anywhere. Isn't it obvious that you are looking for trouble?

"So you are being targeted, right?" Linton said casually, and then looked around, "Is this a shabby shop like yours? It shouldn't be, or... your family has some unique elixir recipe. Category?"

Linton suddenly looked like he was having some trouble. Seeing this, Xu Xinyi turned to Linton and explained.

Xu Xinyi is not stupid either. It can be clearly seen that between Linton and Chu Chengwen, it is obvious that Linton should make the decision. Although Chu Chengwen is a nicer person, he looks like a subordinate to the situation. Although Linton said he was his nephew before, Xu Xinyi felt that the superior-subordinate relationship between the two was still obvious, and he probably was not really an uncle or nephew.

Linton's impression on Xu Xinyi was obviously much more fierce. Xu Xinyi's first reaction when seeing him was that she was a little scared, unlike Chu Chengwen who looked very talkative next to him, so she was obviously much more cautious around Linton.

"No, what she is interested in is the recommended spot in our alchemy shop." Xu Xinyi said.

"Recommendation quota?" Linton looked at Xu Xinyi strangely, "What recommendation quota?"

"The recommended quota for the Alchemist Guild's entrance test." Xu Xinyi replied.

"Huh?" Linton was obviously stunned when he heard the name of the Alchemist Guild, and asked a little strangely: "No, there is a quota limit? And why do you have this recommended quota here?"

This was obviously not a secret, but Xu Xinyi was surprised that Linton didn't know about it. Of course, seeing that Linton really didn't know, she simply explained.

When joining the Alchemist Guild at the beginning, it was obvious that there was no need for any recommendation quotas. Anyone who wants to join the Alchemist Guild can just go to the guild and take the exam. If you pass, you can join the guild.

However, because the profession of alchemist is really very promising and profitable, you can make money even if you keep your capital, and you can also become a monk if you develop forward, so the number of people who want to enter this profession is rapidly increasing.

The Alchemist Guild relied on this wave of dividends to develop rapidly at first. But soon, they couldn't bear it anymore.

You said that a large number of alchemists suddenly appeared, and if the alchemist guild cannot guarantee their livelihood, or even there are alchemists who cannot support themselves, it will hurt the overall reputation of their guild.

Therefore, it is imperative to limit the number and select talents.

At first, the Alchemist Guild wanted to take charge of this matter themselves, but soon they themselves also had a headache. There were too many people, which consumed too much of their energy. So I don’t know who came up with the idea, that is, to hold a primary election and remove some people who are obviously unsuitable.

So I don’t know when the recommendation quota started to appear, because these recommended people are obviously of some level. It’s impossible for you to recommend people who don’t know anything. Is this causing trouble for their Alchemist Guild? Obviously no one dared to deliberately cause trouble for the guild.

As for who holds the recommended quota, the current situation is that most of the elixir shops in the city hold the recommended quota, usually for 2-5 people. For example, this Anxin Hall has three recommended places.

Most of these alchemy shops themselves purchase goods from the Alchemist Guild. The fate of their shops is basically in the hands of the Alchemist Guild. As long as they run out of stock, these shops will not be able to operate at all. So in fact, although these alchemy shops are not under the name of the Alchemist Guild, they can still be regarded as their shops.

As things have developed now, not only alchemists, but also the recommended places for the exam have become extremely valuable.

No joke, these three recommended places are the key to the continued operation of Anxintang and its profitability. Otherwise, according to Xu Xinyi's father's previous operating methods, this An Xin Tang would have closed down long ago.

Yes, Xu Xinyi and her father are both good people. This shop often provides relief to the poor nearby, and often charges less or no money for medical treatment. Fortunately, I have three quotas in hand. Every year, because of these three quotas, people crazily give them money and so on.

"Then since the recommended places are so valuable, how did you keep these three places before? Your father is very strong?" Linton asked.

"In the past, our family also had someone to rely on... The Su family in Yangcheng was our backer." Xu Xinyi said, "But now..."

"Huh?" For some reason, Linton suddenly felt familiar again when he heard the name of his patron.
