Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Shopkeeper Wu is the second shopkeeper of the Qian family, and he shows off his power on weekdays, even bigger than Qian Jin and his son.He is Madam Qian's younger brother, and he always feels that he is someone, and he is the most arrogant on weekdays.

As soon as the doctor heard it, he knew that shopkeeper Wu must not have recognized the boy in front of him. Chang Xile tore up his clothes and looked very embarrassed. With the scars on his face, he couldn't tell that he was the high-spirited prodigy back then.

"Shopkeeper Wu, this is Chang Xiucai."

When Shopkeeper Wu heard this, he looked at Chang Xile unabashedly, gloating in his words, "You are Chang Xiucai? See, I didn't have time to put my eyeballs on, so I didn't recognize you. Tsk tsk, how did you become like this? No wonder my brother-in-law is retiring."

Chang Xile was not angry, but instead asked with a smile: "Listening to shopkeeper Wu, could it be that Boss Qian and my divorced relationship are not because I disagree with Fourth Miss Qian? There are other reasons?"

Shopkeeper Wu secretly blamed himself for talking too much, how could he dare to answer these words directly.

Although Chang Xile couldn't go any further, she still had a reputation and was not someone who could be easily bullied.In the entire Daoxiang County, there are only a few dozen people who have been admitted as scholars.Moreover, Chang Xile is still a granary student and can serve as a granary guarantor. The children who take the exam must find a granary student to be a guarantor before they can take the scientific examination.

If other scholars knew that their Qian family resigned from the marriage because they looked down on scholars, these literati would be the most arrogant.At that time, not only the Qian family, but also the entire Wu family will have to stare blankly.Entrepreneurs are always not popular, and no one in the court is just making wedding dresses for others. The Qian and Wu families are actively cultivating people who can embark on the road of scientific research.

Shopkeeper Wu quickly squeezed out a smile, "I didn't say that. Since we are all acquaintances, we can discuss the price."

Chang Xile raised her eyebrows, and stretched out a finger, "I don't want a penny more, and I don't sell a penny less."

"One thousand strings! Why don't you grab it?!" Shopkeeper Wu jumped up immediately.

"Since your Qian family can't afford it, forget it. Anyway, this big bug is rare, so I was reluctant to sell it."

Shopkeeper Wu snorted coldly, "Chang Xiucai, you are well-known anyway, don't act like you're interested in money, just make fun of others. If you want me to say that you accept it as soon as you see it, you won't get the last penny."

Chang Xile smiled, "Master Wu, do you know what is the most expensive thing in this world?"

"what?"

"It's human life. Whether it's the common people, the dignitaries, or even the current emperor, who doesn't want to live a few more years? This big worm is a great tonic. I eat it and it can prolong my life. This is something that a thousand gold can't buy. If it weren't for you, it would be a little bit more." It doesn't matter, let alone one thousand guan, I won't sell [-] guan. Speaking of which, I haven't seen this big bug in Daoxiang County for many years, right? So I can't sell it anymore. It's hard to buy even if you have money. Yes."

Shopkeeper Wu is in a hurry now, but he made a guarantee with his brother-in-law that he will definitely get this matter done, and if it can't be done, it will prove that he is useless.He was not good at work a while ago, and now his brother-in-law is not nose-to-nose with him, and his sister has talked to him several times in private.

The Qian family has now found a way, but the other party doesn't look down on money and prefers rare things. It was useless to send so many things before, until they gave a good horse a while ago.If you can send tiger whips and tiger bones now, then this road will be more secure.

"Chang Xiucai, don't try to be brave. What's your current situation? If you don't sell some money, you may not even be able to eat."

Chang Xile smiled meaningfully, "Students can receive six buckets of rice from the imperial court every month. How much can I eat as a scholar? Shopkeeper Wu is mocking the imperial court for giving us too little subsidy for students and treating them harshly. Us? If so, I would really like to thank Shopkeeper Wu for his concern, and if I have the opportunity, I will definitely ask for credit for you."

"Where did I say such a thing, don't talk about it! Chang Xiucai, you can only care about yourself. As a child, you must always take care of your parents."

Shopkeeper Wu was speechless. It's not that he had never heard of Chang Xile before, but he was said to be talented but not good at general affairs, and only knew how to read.But I never thought that the real person is so fond of nonsense, that even the most trivial things can be brought into the topic of disrespect.Scholars can talk nonsense, but they can't do it. If they talk nonsense in public, they will be punished.

Chang Xile nodded earnestly in deep agreement, "So I can't sell this big bug anymore, I have to feed my parents. There is so much meat, it can be eaten for a long time. Although this thing is fierce, it is full of treasures. Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu, for your reminder."

Shopkeeper Wu was so angry that he was a scholar and he was clearly a bum, but he couldn't grab it as hard as he did with other people. He was so depressed in his heart that he said cruelly: "Chang Xiucai, let's buy it at a one-buy price, three hundred guan Money! This price is not low!"

Chang Xile didn't even look at him, "Doctor, how long will it take for this child to wake up?"

The doctor said: "I gave him an injection just now, I guess there is still half an hour left."

Chang Xile looked at the sun outside, they came out early in the morning, and now it was past noon, they had to go back before dark, it was too dangerous to go through the mountains and forests at night.After such a calculation, he didn't have much time to go out and wander around, and he might not be able to do anything this trip.

Seeing Chang Xile's attitude, shopkeeper Wu really had no choice but to deal with it if Chang Xile was a little bit tempted.It seemed that he had heard that his brother-in-law had suffered at the hands of Chang Xile before, but he still didn't believe it, and his brother-in-law kept silent about it, but now it seems that this is really possible.

But he is sure to win this tiger, and it will be difficult if he misses this opportunity. This thing is rare but not common, and there are many people who want to grab it.

"Chang Xiucai, I was rude just now, but one thousand guan is too outrageous. If the tiger skin is not hurt, it will be worthless. If the tiger skin has been made like this, it is worthless. I sincerely want Yes, you give me a real price, and I promise not to counter-offer." Shopkeeper Wu softened his attitude.

Chang Xi was happy to see that shopkeeper Wu was no longer arrogant, so he raised his eyes and spoke to him seriously, "If shopkeeper Wu is sincere and wants to buy, I am soft-hearted, and I may sell it when I see you are pitiful. But you were not sincere before, so I don't think so." Let’s talk if necessary. Since you insist now, it’s not impossible to sell it to you, but I can’t give it to you.”

Shopkeeper Wu almost didn't jump up. These things are gone, so why should he buy them!

"Chang Xiucai, don't be kidding, what would I buy it without these?"

"Shopkeeper Wu is a step late. I have already sold those things to other people. I am a man of fame, and I mean what I say."

When Chang Xile said this, he suppressed a smile. Now "I am a man of fame" has become his mantra. Although he would be embarrassed if he said too much, the effect is still quite good.

Shopkeeper Wu frowned, "Who did you sell it to?"

Chang Xile cast his eyes on the doctor beside him without leaving a trace, and the doctor immediately understood. He knew that if he was afraid of shopkeeper Wu and wouldn't dare to recognize him, he wouldn't dare to show it when he got it.After thinking about the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and walked forward, cupping his hands and said, "I'm not talented, I'm one step faster than shopkeeper Wu."

Shopkeeper Wu narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to rob me, doctor?"

The doctor said: "I dare not, it's just that the first come first served, I'm lucky. It just so happens that the magistrate's legs and feet are not good, and my prescription is short of tiger bones, but now I have all the ingredients."

The doctor is also a good person, and deliberately pulled the county magistrate out.

Shopkeeper Wu was unhappy now, "Are you kidding me just now?! Why didn't you tell me it was already sold!"

Chang Xile said: "You didn't ask, besides, I don't sell all of them, shopkeeper Wu can still make up the rest."

"Think I'm stupid!"

"Business Manager Wu's words are wrong. Even the tiger bone doctor can't take away all of them. There are always some left over. Besides, since the tiger's internal organs are so useful, the meat is not bad at all. If you have a whole tiger feast, tell it. It’s also very honorable.”

Although Chang Xile was not angry with shopkeeper Wu and the Qian family behind him, he didn't want them to have their way.But I don't want to block the road, I really want to offend him, it's not a good thing for him and Taoyuan Village.

Shopkeeper Wu was a little moved when he heard this. Let's not talk about the taste of tiger meat, but the name is very attractive.

"Without tiger penis and tiger guts, what's the whole tiger feast?"

Chang Xile pondered for a long time, showing a look of reluctance to give up, "If shopkeeper Wu insists on asking, I can reluctantly give up, but the price can't be as insincere as shopkeeper Wu just now."

Shopkeeper Wu can't do anything about it now, the other party obviously likes to sell or not, so he can only say cruelly: "Five hundred guan! No more."

Chang Xile should be straightforward now, "Deal, but the copper coins are too heavy to panic, please give me five hundred grains of silver."

Shopkeeper Wu wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he almost choked again when he heard the latter sentence.

The price of silver fluctuates. Generally speaking, one tael of silver can be exchanged for copper coins that are always up and down. Now, one tael of silver can be exchanged for [-] Wen. One hundred guan coins, in fact, is six hundred guan coins.

"Chang Xiucai, you really know how to do business! You raised a hundred coins all at once!"

Chang Xile waved her fingers, "That's a bad statement. Now silver can be exchanged for more copper coins than before, but if you think about it this way, your money won't move if you keep it. After a while, if the price drops, it will be worth five hundred guan Is the money low? You just treat it as the Wenyin you gave me at that time, so not only is there no improvement, but it is less than [-] guan! You have earned it!"

Shopkeeper Wu couldn't understand, "Why did I make money?"

"The value of 500 taels of silver does not depend on your will. When you can exchange one tael for 500 Wen, you will be more, and when you can exchange one tael for [-] Wen, you will be less. You only think of the [-] taels." Two is that one tael can only be exchanged for eight hundred Wen, so if you give it to me, isn’t it a profit?”

"Wait...how come the more I listen, the more confused I become." Shopkeeper Wu couldn't turn his head around.

Chang Xile looked like a master, and sighed: "That's why the sage said that reading can open up wisdom, otherwise you will live in chaos and go to the world in vain. It's really sad to not understand such simple truths. Hey, the world is all fools. Unfortunately too."

After finishing speaking, he also recited a bunch of awkward and difficult stuff, which was like a bible to shopkeeper Wu who didn't know a few big characters.

Shopkeeper Wu's brain hurts a bit. He hated these things since he was a child. To show that he is not a fool, he hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, okay, 500 taels of silver is 500 taels of silver. It's agreed, and we can't change it!"

Chang Xile showed a satisfied smile, "Then let's sign the contract."

Shopkeeper Wu said impatiently: "Why are you so wordy! It's so easy to deliver the goods and pay the money, so why bother?"

"This statement is wrong. There is a book in the law, and the transaction should be a contract. We must follow the rules."

Shopkeeper Wu naturally doesn't understand the law, but when there is a big business, it is true that a contract must be signed. Although he finds it very troublesome, he signed it with Chang Xile.But at this time, there was no confusion, and it was signed after letting the servants see that there was no problem.

Shopkeeper Wu was very efficient in case he had too many nights and dreams, and he got Chang Xile 500 taels of silver in a short while.And the doctor also got a bunch of tiger bones with fifty pennies and free treatment for the comatose little boy. Although it is inevitable to be disappointed without the tiger whip, it may not be easy to get tiger bones, and the price is very fair. He is very satisfied .

"Hey, paper money is still more convenient."

Chang Xile looked at the pile of heavy silver and copper coins, and at the small body of the little boy who was holding onto his hand all the time, and couldn't help worrying how such a small child could protect the money?The story of the tiger has been widely circulated for a long time. The value of this thing is there. Since it is known that he got a sum of money after selling it, it will be a crime to conceive it at that time.

And at this time, the little boy woke up.
