Brother of Rebirth
Chapter 18
Su Ling's estimation was not wrong. The chairman of Zhangji Pharmacy - shopkeeper Zhang Da paid a visit in less than three days, with a humble smile.
The fellows following behind were the two who had suffered a lot in the past few days.
At this moment, the two guys no longer had the arrogance of the previous few days, and they followed behind the big shopkeeper with restrained anger, obviously they had been repaired.
The smile on the shopkeeper's face, as a medicine merchant, he knows the business philosophy of smiling three-pointedly when he meets everyone. Thanks to the accumulation of the master, Zhangji Pharmacy can be regarded as a famous name in this southern border, although It is not the first bureau in the palace to pay tribute to medicinal materials, but because of its unique "Huan Shen Pill" that blindly rejuvenates the body and skin, it is deeply loved by an eunuch who is favored by the current emperor. , and then was selected as a bureau for several major tribute medicinal materials in the palace, which can be described as a grand grace.
It doesn't matter what other ingredients are used to make this Huanshen Pill, but the most important one is water ganoderma, so every year Zhang Ji collects it from Hushi Village.
Of course, shopkeeper Zhang never told anyone about this prescription, it was his own trick, he only knew that the Huanshen Pill needed a lot of medicinal materials, and no one knew that the success or failure of this Huanshen Pill was the Water Ganoderma lucidum.Although everyone in Hushi Village also knows that Ganoderma lucidum is unique to Hushi Village in the world, but villagers have always dried Ganoderma lucidum and boiled soup to nourish yin and moisten lungs and detoxify. It was only when someone bought it a few years ago that they realized the value of this thing. Money, but no one knows the mystery of this.
Although Su Ling wanted to hoard goods for a surprise, it was a risky move. He might lose even the last bit of money. However, this year's situation, coupled with Qi Wu's generous temperament, if he didn't do this, the Qi family would lose everything. It will also be dragged down sooner or later, it is better to burn the boat like this.
Su Ling hid in the crack of the door and saw Zhang Da's shopkeeper's humble and sincere negotiating face, and knew in his heart that he had done the right thing by breaking the boat.
In the main room, Qi Wu said exactly what Su Ling had told him a few days ago.
"In addition to the price, we will sign a contract in the future to ensure that we will have no worries in the good and bad years. Everyone knows that we can't grow rice in Hushi Village, so we can only use the fields to grow water ganoderma. The annual rations depend on this ganoderma lucidum, if you lower the price arbitrarily, it will be more money for you, but it will be your life for us.”
Qi Wu saw the still happy face of shopkeeper Zhang Da, and continued, "Accordingly, this water ganoderma is only owned by us in Hushi Village, and we should charge as high a price as we should, but we don't do such nasty things. , but you can’t treat yourself in vain, here, take a look at this contract, if you can, then make a bet.”
Shopkeeper Zhang Da took the "contract" that Su Ling spent several days researching, the more he looked at it, the more cold sweat filled his brow, and the humble smile on his face could hardly be pretended, but the fat guy behind him yelled first, "Mr. , you are deceiving people too much, let alone double the price, the price you are offering is simply a robber!"
Qi Wu crossed his hands on his chest and sneered, "As for robbers, we don't dare to take away your title. The price has been lowered again and again. You also know the situation this year. The poor harvests in our village, the extinct households, Even the big households only accept one or two loads. It would be impossible to say that the price is better than gold, but this unique little bit is extremely precious. In my conscience, if we ask for this price, it is also a guarantee. We can barely survive this year of famine, and besides, we were exploited enough in the past few years, but now we are just getting enough money to eat, so there is no reason to bargain?!"
These words left the other three speechless.
After a while, the big shopkeeper rolled his eyes and changed the subject.
"I heard that the eldest son of Su Mansion made a deed in the mansion?"
Qi Wu waved his hand, "Don't make a deed so ugly, our daughter is a member of our family, there is nothing to do or not to make a deed."
Although it is prevalent now to be a younger brother, as a man, people in the world somewhat discriminate against this status as a younger brother. Qi Wu doesn't want his daughter to be looked down upon.
The shopkeeper's fat face was accompanied by a smiling face, "Our nephew Su Da is really lucky to meet a Qi Da who treats him so well."
Qi Wu was full of doubts when he heard this nephew Su, "Nephew Su?"
The shopkeeper cupped his hands, "The scumbag Mrs. Su is the sister of Mr. Su. In terms of seniority, she should be called a big nephew."
Although Su Ling is the son of Su's eldest son, he can't stand on the stage in the open or in the dark. After all, his biological mother is just a maid who was taken over by Master Su for no reason, and her innocence was polluted. , I was hated by the eldest lady early in the morning, and she gritted her silver teeth and tried every means to take care of the mother and child. Otherwise, with the great success of the Su family, how could she give the eldest son to a countryman to be his younger brother? As an in-law, it stands to reason that Su Ling really needs to be called Uncle. Although this Uncle's name is unfair, but since he said so, Qi Wu has to be scrupled.
Qi Wu didn't expect that this shopkeeper had such a relationship with his own Qidi, more or less a relative, just now to sell more money for this water ganoderma, whether his attitude is very good, but he is fine, He was afraid that Su Ling would hear something bad when he came back home.Right now, I'm confused and don't know how to deal with it.
But shopkeeper Zhang Da spoke again, "Where is our eldest nephew? Why didn't he see it?"
Su Ling hid behind the door and hesitated for a while, thinking that hiding behind the door was not an option, so he walked out and bowed to Zhang Da, the shopkeeper in the main room.
"Hi, shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Zhang was taken aback when he saw Su Ling's face. He only knew that the eldest son of the Su family had a good appearance, but he didn't know that he was so seductive.Thinking in this way, his face changed quickly, and then he put on a pleasant smile, "Our nephew is so strange, why do you call me the big shopkeeper? A few days ago, my wife returned to Su's residence and brought Some snacks from the Su Mansion, my nephew must have been thinking about this since he has been away from the mansion for a long time."
While instructing the waiter who stood there blankly, hand over the snacks wrapped in oiled paper to Su Ling.
Although Su Ling was a little afraid of others, he still took it. The fat guy was dumbfounded and didn't know how to hand it over, just staring at Su Ling blankly.It wasn't until shopkeeper Zhang Da coughed hard that he came back to his senses. He didn't dare to look at Su Ling's face anymore. After handing it to Su Ling, he retreated behind Zhang Da shopkeeper and lowered his hands and frowned.
Shopkeeper Zhang Da cleared his throat and said bluntly, "Our family, let's not say anything else, Qi Da, this water ganoderma, to tell you the truth, is the top priority of our pharmacy, you must not Think about it again."
Qi Wu didn't say anything for a long time. He didn't know how to respond. After all, he was related to some relatives, so he was afraid that if he said something wrong, it would be bad for Su Ling.
Shopkeeper Zhang Da didn't wait for Qi Wu to answer, and continued, "We are relatives, and we don't want to hurt you, so let's give you Qi Da's water ganoderma at five times the price you give to others, just ask Don't get meddled in this matter here, Qi Da, what do you think?"
Qi Wu looked at shopkeeper Zhang Da, and then at Su Ling, with a depressed look on his face.
Su Ling's heart was bright, he thought for a while, and made up his mind.
Gently put the dim sum in his hand in front of Shopkeeper Zhang, "Thank you for the dim sum, shopkeeper, I, I have been away from home for a long time, and I probably can't get used to it."
This sentence is the truth, Su Ling doesn't like sweets, so he has a low eyebrow at the moment, "My husband is determined about the water ganoderma, definitely not for himself, he is the head of a village, don't talk, don't talk We also have to consider the livelihood of the people in the village. If the big shopkeeper still recognizes me as a nephew, he will earn a little less, and it will be convenient for my husband. From now on, the water ganoderma in the whole village will only be sold to the big shopkeeper. Will sell to others."
Shopkeeper Zhang Da knew that there was no way to get in touch with relatives when he heard the words. Seeing that they not only refused to buy oil and salt, but also had the idea of selling to others, the smile on his face could no longer hold back, collapsed, and said coldly, "Daddy!" Nephew, are you just so disregarding your relatives?"
Relatives?Su Ling recalled the dilapidated images of the last owner left in his mind, they were all memories of being bullied, the humiliation of being looked down upon by various relatives is something that passers-by like Su Ling have deep kinship with Yan, even this "uncle" who kept saying that he was getting close, came here for nothing but profit, so he didn't care about his own identity.Su Ling is weak, but at least he won't be so humble that he will delight in wicked people.
Hearing the stern tone of the big shopkeeper at this moment, Su Ling flinched a little, but the pair of big palms on his waist supported him, and he was relieved at the moment, so he returned, "Since my father sent me to be used by others Qi, I, I am a member of the Qi family, and I will do what my husband tells me to do."
After finishing speaking, I just felt the big palm on my waist tightly hold my own.Su Ling struggled a little, but Qi Wu's big palm became tighter and tighter, so he let him go.
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't even have a smile at the moment, he sneered at the two of them coldly, and walked away immediately.
The two fellows hurriedly followed.
Su Ling looked at Zhang Da's back as he went away, and felt no sense of relaxation in his heart. Just as he was thinking about what to do, he was thrown over by someone, breathing heavily in his ear, "Ninny, call me husband again."
The fellows following behind were the two who had suffered a lot in the past few days.
At this moment, the two guys no longer had the arrogance of the previous few days, and they followed behind the big shopkeeper with restrained anger, obviously they had been repaired.
