Chapter 42: Selling the Mallet (2)
The old shopkeeper came to the shop and saw two teenagers standing in front of the counter.
One was tall and slender with a slightly darkened face that looked very plain, and the other was half a short head and had a burnt face, but the big eyes were bright. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a long box on the counter, which had been opened, and inside lay a mountain ginseng. The shopkeeper is also in his fifties, and he has been immersed in the medicinal material industry for most of his life, and he dared to guarantee that this is the largest ginseng he has ever seen when he saw it.
The ginseng has white hair, resembling a small person with complete limbs, and is obviously an extremely rare wild ginseng.
After all, the shopkeeper was not the guy who had never seen the world, he took a deep breath and withdrew his warm gaze.
He asked, "Two little brothers, are you going to sell this ginseng?" ”
"Of course." The tall boy replied.
These two teenagers are Huo Xiaoshan, who finally rushed to the county seat from the old forest, and Mu Rongpei, who was dressed in disguise.
The old shopkeeper glanced at the door of the pharmacy that was wide open, and there was a sound of talking outside, obviously a customer who had grabbed the medicine and immediately entered the door.
He stepped forward, closed the lid, and said, "Two little brothers, please come with me to the back room to talk." ”
At this time, a customer had already entered the door, but fortunately, the box had been closed, and no one knew that it was a rare old ginseng inside.
Huo Xiaoshan hurriedly picked up the box, and followed the old shopkeeper through the small door of the counter with Murong Pei, and went straight to the back room.
When he arrived at the back room, the old shopkeeper put his mind at ease, and actually took out a reading glasses from the drawer and put them on, and put on a new pair of white gloves, which allowed Huo Xiaoshan to put the box on the table, and after opening it, he carefully picked up the mountain ginseng and tasted it carefully.
The old shopkeeper looked at it very carefully, and his hands were also very light, for fear of touching a small tentacle of the mountain ginseng, so it was natural to look at it for a long time.
Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei glanced at each other, because they knew this mountain ginseng in their hearts, and they were not in a hurry, so they waited there silently.
Although Yin Yan doesn't know how much this mountain ginseng can be worth, it must be very valuable, and it is also appropriate for people to take a few more glances at it.
"Young man, in these days, you can't just show your wealth." The old shopkeeper in the back room said earnestly.
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, I am in a hurry to use the money to sell. Huo Xiaoshan understood that he had now met a person with professional ethics who received medicine.
"I don't know what price you can offer?" Huo Xiaoshan asked.
"As long as the ocean, don't want sheep tickets." Murong Pei added.
On the back of the 100 yuan banknote issued by the puppet Manchukuo was a flock of sheep, which began to depreciate rapidly soon after its issuance, and were finally used in bundles to ignite it, so it was degraded as a sheep note by the common people.
Huo Xiaoshan has lived in the mountains for a long time, and his familiarity with these things in the outside world is not as good as that of Murong Pei.
"This ......" the old shopkeeper pondered for a while, of course he knew the value of this old ginseng, if he used a sheep ticket similar to waste paper to buy it, I am afraid that he would have to load a wagon of sheep tickets. Such a rare mountain ginseng should be used as a hard currency such as the ocean, but even if you are small, you should know that this Manchukuo is not allowed to use the ocean, so the ocean in my hands is also limited. ”
"May I ask how many oceans do the old shopkeepers have in their hands?" Murong Pei asked, although Huo Xiaoshan had also been a partner in the Rongji Pharmacy for a while, but after all, he was not as well-informed as Murong Pei from the big city, so he was silent at this time, and watched Murong Pei and the old shopkeeper discuss the price matter from the side.
"Your old ginseng is worth a thousand oceans, and I only have three hundred oceans in my hand now." The old shopkeeper said embarrassedly.
This old shopkeeper is very accurate, of course he knows that Huo Xiaoshan is in a hurry to sell this old ginseng, but he doesn't want to take advantage of this child.
Mu Rongpei and Huo Xiaoshan exchanged glances, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, they didn't know that this old ginseng was so valuable!
And this ginseng is the smallest one that Huo Xiaoshan brings with him now, because of the rush from the Rongji Pharmacy this time, he only brought two ginseng out, and the rest stayed in the house, I don't know how Boss Narong felt when he saw the best ginseng that Huo Xiaoshan left him.
"Just three hundred oceans." Huo Xiaoshan said conclusively.
Huo Xiaoshan also regretted it a little, he knew that this mountain ginseng was so valuable, it was better to take out the sand gold and sell it for a bag, but this sand gold was snatched out of the hands of the Japanese devils, he couldn't find a buyer in a moment, and it was easy to expose himself, although there was no news that the gold mine devil was stewed by him so far, but it was a matter of time before the matter came out.
"How's that going to work? How's that going to work? The old shopkeeper hurriedly stopped.
Although he also wants to buy a rare ginseng, he is not a profiteer, "I hope there is no suffering in the world, why not put medicine on the shelf" The ancestral motto is not only hung on the medicine hall, but also solemnly remembered in his heart!
"Otherwise, I think the old shopkeeper is a trustworthy person. You give us the three hundred oceans first, we are really urgent, and then write us another seven hundred oceans of arrears, if we are short of money in the future, we will come to you again, do you think it is okay? Murong Pei said.
"I think that's a good idea." Huo Xiaoshan should also be in harmony. He doesn't feel sorry for this mountain ginseng, it can be used to the best of its ability, and it can save a lot of lives in the hands of doctors, but it has no usable value in his own hands, not to mention that there is now a much bigger ginseng in his hands.
The old shopkeeper groaned for a while, and finally made up his mind.
"Okay, that's it!"
He climbed onto the kang, uncovered a portrait of the Lord of the Stove that was posted on the wall, and took out a wooden box from inside, and when he opened it, there was a roll of silver dollars wrapped in thick paper.
He put the silver dollar in front of Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei, rolled up his sleeves and studied the ink, and wrote an IOU in fly-headed small letters, but this IOU was not 700 oceans, but 800 oceans, only in this way did he feel that the burden in his heart would be smaller.
Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei didn't mind anything about writing seven hundred or eight hundred on this debt, because Huo Xiaoshan didn't want the rest of the money at all, what he wanted now was to get the most appropriate amount of money and find a way to go south with Murong Pei.
Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei came out of the pharmacy, and the burden that Huo Xiaoshan was carrying sank a lot due to the effect of the ocean.
"What are we going to do this time?" Murong Pei asked.
"Buy a car." Huo Xiaoshan said confidently
