Chapter 233: No One Cares
Then Xi Bai saw the news of Ao Zhan again, and still looked for him to drink, without mentioning what was going on, Xi Bai was a little unhappy with Ao Zhan's approach, he still liked to go straight, and if there was anything to hide, it would make people look unpleasant.
However, from these two messages, Xi Bai can also see that Ao Zhan is indeed looking for him to have something, otherwise he would not have sent a second message after he did not reply to the first message. Xi Bai pondered for a moment, although he didn't like Ao Zhan's style, but the relationship between the two was not bad, and the last time they cooperated was quite pleasant, the most important thing was to help Ao Zhan, which was equivalent to fighting Long Xingyun.
So Xi Bai thought about it and decided to find a time to meet Ao Zhan.
The remaining messages are from a few people from the Apple family, in addition to the daily greetings, several people said that they had not seen each other for a long time, and they should come out to gather, and seeing the news, they also happened to be in the capital, Xi Bai thought about it, and decided to find a few people from the Apple family first.
However, the inn he was at was the closest to his Dan Pharmacy, so naturally he would stop by first.
Xi Bai closed the flying pigeon transmission system, stepped out of the door that he hadn't been out of for a long time, and then settled the account with the shopkeeper, and went all the way to Dan Pharmacy.
At this time, it was the morning, the busiest moment for players in the capital, groups of players doing tasks were running quickly on the wide streets of the capital, Xi Bai took two steps and saw Dan Pharmacy, he looked up, only to see the plaque with five big words written "Xi Bai Dan Pharmacy", and immediately smiled, and felt a little proud in his heart.
It's just that he soon discovered that the players who came and went, when they passed by the front of the Dan Pharmacy, let alone entering, they didn't even look at it, they simply ignored it to the extreme. The smile on Xi Bai's face suddenly froze, although he knew from Mu Yu's news and speculation that the business of Dan Pharmacy was not good, but he didn't expect it to come to this point.
Xi Bai shook his head bitterly, but still walked into the store.
Anyway, this is the first time Xi Bai has come to his own store, when he came to rent a shop before, there was still nothing here, and now when Xi Bai enters the door, this place has already changed a lot. The transparent counter on three sides was full of jade bottles, these were the pills that Mu Yu had refined during this time, although no one bought them, Mu Yu did not stop refining, and the counter was already full.
Xi Bai nodded with satisfaction, and then he saw Xiao Lian, who was behind the counter with her head down, holding her cheeks in one hand and drawing circles on the table with the other hand.
He didn't deliberately control the sound of footsteps when he entered the door, and the room was very quiet at the moment, he believed that the other party must have heard someone coming in, and Xiaolian didn't mean to get up to say hello, which made Xi Bai frown, and his face was a little unhappy.
"Xiaolian, why didn't you say hello when you saw a guest come to the door?" Although Xi Bai was displeased, he did not have a seizure, but said with a chuckle.
Xiaolian was obviously startled by Xi Bai's voice, and when she looked up and saw that it was Xi Bai, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she grinned: "Hehe, it turns out that the big boss is back, but I haven't seen you come since the store opened, I thought you had forgotten about this store a long time ago." ”
Xi Bai shook his head and smiled, seeing the innocent smile of the other party, it was really difficult for Xi Bai to get angry, but he also knew that the service attitude was very important, so he said: "Of course I remember my shop, but I was too busy some time ago, so I didn't take care of it." And let me ask you, I just heard someone coming in, why didn't you say hello? Xiaolian, your attitude is not good! Xi Bai said with a blank face.
Who knew that after hearing this, Xiaolian not only did not admit her mistake, but pursed her lips and said with an unhappy face: "It's not that I don't want to greet them, but those who came here didn't come to buy pills at all, but came here to rest, so why should I greet them." ”
Xi Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "What's going on?" ”
Xiaolian thought about it for a while, and told Xi Bai what happened during this time.
It turned out that after the opening of "Xi Baidan Pharmacy", the flow of people in the first few days was still very large, even out of curiosity about the name of the store, many players came to take a look, but although there were many people who came to see, but the people who bought the pills did not, after all, the reason why they came to see was because they felt that the pills here were different, but they found that there was no difference with the pills of their own sect, so naturally no one came to buy them.
After a while, when "Xi Baidan Pharmacy" was known by most people, people's curiosity was gone, and there were no more people who even came to see it, and there was not even a single figure in the store for a day.
After a while, the people in the capital have almost ignored this shop. However, the store still has to be open every day, so some players are tired of traveling, and they just see the "Xi Bai Dan Pharmacy", so they come in and take a look at those pills, in fact, they are looking at the pills, but they have no intention of buying them, so they leave after a circle.
And Xiaolian would have greeted someone when she saw it, but those players just waved their hands, didn't even pay attention to Xiaolian, and then left on their own. Although Xiaolian was angry in her heart, the other party did not make trouble, and second, she did not hinder them from doing business, and Xiaolian had no choice but to take them, so Xiaolian ignored the other party when she saw such a person.
That's why Xiaolian said that they were here to rest, and just now when she heard Xi Bai enter the door, she thought that it was still that kind of person, so she didn't say hello.
After hearing this, Xi Bai looked at Xiaolian's aggrieved look, and he didn't know how to comfort the other party for a while, he couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that the business of his store would be so bad.
"Okay, I know what's going on, it's really not your fault that this matter is, the next time you meet someone like that, just let them see it, they don't ask you, and you don't have to pay attention to them." Xi Bai sighed and said.
"Xi Bai Daxia, I think this pill pharmacy is still closed, and no one comes to buy the pill anyway, this is simply a loss-making deal!" Xiaolian nodded after hearing this, and then said with a pout.
Xi Bai didn't want to say anything more to her, so he had to say: "It's still a short time now, and it will slowly get better in the future." ”
Xiaolian heard Xi Bai say this, so she didn't say anything more, she was a fan of Xi Bai, what Xi Bai said, it was naturally what it was.
"What about your sister Mu? Is she absent? Xi Bai asked Xiaolian.
"Here, Sister Mu is here every day, and now she should be alchemy upstairs." Xiaolian hurriedly replied.
Xi Bai nodded and headed towards the second floor. Before Xi Bai went up, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, which was much stronger than downstairs.
Upstairs, Xi Bai swept around, only to see that the small space on the second floor was full of medicinal materials, because he didn't know anything about these, but he also saw that although there were many medicinal materials, they were not messy, and all kinds of medicinal materials were in order.
In the middle of the room, there was a slender figure sitting on the ground, the figure with his back to him, concentrating on doing his own thing, it was Mu Yu. Probably because Mu Yu was so focused that he didn't even notice that Xi Bai had gone upstairs.
Xi Bai saw that there were many jade bottles beside Mu Yu, some of which were already filled with pills, and many of them were empty.
Xi Bai knew that Mu Yu was refining the pill, so he didn't disturb the other party, so he stood motionless.
After less than a stick of incense, Xi Bai saw that Mu Yu's movements in his hand stopped, straightened his waist slightly, and then casually took a jade bottle and put the pill that had just been refined into the bottle.
Xi Bai coughed lightly, signaling that there was one more person in the room, this sound was a little sudden, Mu Yu hurriedly turned his head to look, and after finding that it was Xi Bai, he smiled and nodded at Xi Bai.
"Have you been here for a long time, why haven't you said a word? Are things done? Mu Yu stood up, straightened his slightly messy dress, and asked Xi Bai.
Xi Bai smiled: "I also just came up, and when I saw that you were refining the pill, I didn't bother you, if it was because I made your furnace of pills scrapped, it would be my sin." ”
Xi Bai raised his eyes and looked at the place where Mu Yu was sitting just now, and saw that there was a small Dan furnace there, which was made of bronze casting, about a foot high, and at this moment the Dan furnace was open, and wisps of green smoke floated out of the furnace.
Xi Bai continued: "I also just finished my own business, and then I came over to see the situation here. Xi Bai didn't talk about his own affairs in detail, after all, he felt that Mu Yu was interested in martial arts, and he only focused on refining his own elixir.
Mu Yu nodded, and Xi Bai looked at the place where she was alchemizing, and suddenly the corners of her lips curled, and she said with a smile: "What, interested in alchemy?" I can teach you! ”
Xi Bai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still have a lot of things to do, how can I have the heart to learn what alchemy." ”
Mu Yu didn't say anything more when she heard Xi Bai say this, originally she was just joking, if Xi Bai really asked her to teach, then she couldn't teach it, after all, she can only do alchemy now, but she hasn't reached the point of teaching others.
"Mu Yu, this is your salary last month, hehe, I forgot to tell you before, the money I gave you is not only for you to deal with the affairs of the store, but also your own salary." Xi Bai took out five thousand taels and handed them to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu didn't take it right away, but said with a smile: "I didn't sell any pills last month." ”
Xi Bai also smiled, "I know, but everything has to be done slowly, I believe that someone will buy such a good elixir sooner or later, and it will be extremely popular, I am afraid that your alchemy speed will not be able to supply it at that time." ”
Hearing Xi Bai's words, Mu Yu suddenly chuckled, then took the silver ticket from Xi Bai's hand, and said: "Then you are not afraid that I will take my own salary, I will secretly take a little more, you must know that as long as I lie that it is the money for medicinal materials, I am afraid that you don't know." ”
Xi Bai shook his head and said, "I'm still the same sentence, I believe you won't do it." ”
Mu Yu stared at Xi Bai's eyes for a moment, then the corners of his lips curled, and he turned his gaze elsewhere.
