Chapter 519: Stingy

Now that he has seen the middle-grade martial arts in his hand, coupled with what Tong De said before, even a stupid person can guess that this drunk man is a martial saint, and most of the middle-grade martial arts pills come from this drunk, not to mention that Zhang Chong, who is good at drilling camps, how can he not guess. But Tong De, as the chief housekeeper, after listening to Zhang Chong's words, wanted to pat the proprietor's ass, and immediately praised: "The proprietor's shopkeeper is the proprietor's shopkeeper, and he is really much more powerful than the villain, you are right, this drunk man is a rare martial saint." ”

Tong De patted the sycophants very skillfully, as if he was ignoring Zhang Chong's guess after seeing the Zhongpin Wudan. Tong De couldn't guess at the beginning, naturally because the drunk man hadn't taken out the middle-grade martial arts, if Zhang Chong was like him at the beginning, he was caught by the drunk, he would definitely be similar to him, only knew that the drunk was powerful, and where could he guess the drunkard's real martial arts realm, Tong De equated these two situations, to praise the shopkeeper of the owner, so that he showed that he was not as good as Zhang Chong, and played a mental replacement, even if Zhang Chong understood, as long as he patted his head and said that he wanted to be confused, he could easily bypass it, not to mention Tong De's understanding of his own owner, even if Zhang Chong understood, he might not be able to say, enjoy such a fart with peace of mind, leisurely。 At that moment, Tong De didn't wait for Zhang Zhong to answer, and then continued: "The drunk man smashed everything, then took the villain back to the city, and threw the villain into an alley corner, the alley has only one exit, and the villain can't run away if he wants to, just when the villain thinks that the drunk is going crazy, the drunk suddenly takes out the medicine bottle from his arms, pours out a martial arts, and throws it to the villain." Then said to the villain that this is a medium-grade martial arts. He also said that he was a martial saint, and he was drunk and out of shape. Thank you to the villain for accompanying him for an hour, this middle-grade martial arts pill can be regarded as a gift of reparation. As soon as he had finished speaking, the drunkard turned and ran, and in the blink of an eye he was gone. The villain was also stunned at the time, standing at the end of the alley stunned for a long time before he reacted, looking at the mid-grade martial arts, his mind was full of excitement, and the villain then reacted, and had to leave the alley quickly, so he took the pill bottle he carried and accepted the pill. Went back to the inn. Originally, the villain thought that without further ado, he would return to Hengshou Town overnight, but then he thought about it, although no one knew about tonight's events, it was impossible to guarantee that some people had been staring at us, the businessmen who came to Ningshui County to buy all kinds of goods, but seeing that the villain took the two stewards and drove away in the middle of the night, he couldn't say that he would suspect something, so the villain suppressed the surprise in his heart and continued to look at the goods in the inn. After the first half of the night, when the two stewards were on duty in the second half of the night, the villain just put his clothes together and pretended to sleep, so naturally he didn't talk to the two stewards about this. After winning Wudan, everything the villain did was the same as before, everything went according to plan. It wasn't until he saw the shopkeeper that the villain told him all about it...... "Speaking of which." Tong De also exhaled deeply, and then said, "The pill is dedicated to the shopkeeper. The villain is also a lot more relaxed. ”

"Yes, good. Zhang nodded heavily, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "You have found the treasure of the Zhen Pavilion for my Martial Medicine Pavilion, what reward do you want, just ask." ”

When Tong De heard it, where would he not know what Zhang Chong meant, he couldn't help but secretly scold this owner for being stingy, and opened his mouth to be for me "Liewu Medicine Pavilion", this medicine pavilion has a name of Liewu, Zhang Chong speaks inside on weekdays, and rarely brings these two words, now when he says it, it is obviously an expression, Liewu Medicine Pavilion will not care how valuable your pill is, don't be too invited. Tong De sneered in his heart, but his face was restrained and smiled: "I have one heart with the shopkeeper, our medicine pavilion is good, the Zhang family is good, where will my big housekeeper be bad, the bigger the business, the bigger the Zhang family, my Tongde's status is also rising with the tide, where else do you need any reward, the shopkeeper rest assured, Tong De will never be arrogant, very clear about his identity, some people in this world can be the owner of the shopkeeper, some people can only be housekeepers, Nursing home, just like some people can be emperors, and some people can only be prime ministers, Tong De will definitely do his best for the Zhang family in the position of the chief housekeeper. ”

Zhang Chong smiled noncommittally after hearing this, and then said: "Tong De, you have been with me for some years, you have this heart, I didn't misunderstand you, the benefits you have been given over the years can be regarded as a reward for you, but there are no rules, you have made this contribution, if I don't give you a reward, how can I say it." After a pause, Zhang Zhong said again: "But if the reward is heavy, you will refuse, as you just said, the reward is light, I am the proprietor, I don't want to go, I think so, you have one hundred and fifty taels a month, from next month, it will be raised to one hundred and ninety taels of silver." Without waiting for Tong De to answer, Zhang Chong followed up and said: "It's just the treasure of this town pavilion, don't leak it out, our most powerful nursing home is only an innate martial artist, in case it is coveted, it will be troublesome." After a pause, he continued: "In this way, one hundred and ninety taels is also troublesome, why don't you just rise to two hundred taels, and make up a whole thing, which can be regarded as a reward for your loyalty to Boss Tong for so many years." ”

Tong De still sneered in his heart, how could he not understand the meaning of this proprietor's shopkeeper, don't say one hundred and fifty taels of silver, only say that the forty taels that have risen are sky-high prices for ordinary people, but for this Martial Arts Medicine Pavilion is not even a dime, although he can't be the shopkeeper, he can't manage the accounts, but for the monthly income of the Medicine Pavilion, Tong De still has a general understanding, only that one Qi and Blood Pill is worth five thousand taels of silver when bought externally, although the Qi and Blood Pill is a very good pill in the Martial Arts Medicine Pavilion, and the sales volume in Hengshou Town is not large, but the ordinary Bone Nourishing Pill and Quenching Bone Pill, which don't need hundreds of thousands of taels, many martial artists will be enough to buy, and the catchers of the town yamen can also use it, these are calculated to remove the cost, and remove the Zhang family's squandering, and then remove the rest of the monthly salary of the nursing home, the Zhang family has a balance of nearly 50,000 taels of silver every month, but to give him a big housekeeper is a mere 150 taels, which makes Tong De how satisfied, out of the accounts Zhang Zhong is in charge of his own affairs, and the rest of the things, big and small, are all he Tong De worked hard for the Zhang family, but there is only this bit of silver. Tong De doesn't care about this month, only because of his status in the Zhang family, which allows him to do many things outside and get many benefits, so he wants to improve his status even more, to be a shopkeeper, he can't be a shopkeeper, and it's okay to be a second shopkeeper, but unfortunately he never gets it. Although he didn't care about this month, he took the forty taels of this increase as a compliment to himself for presenting a medium-grade martial arts. Tong De only felt disgusted, and he knew it very well. This Zhang Chongken first said forty taels, and then felt that it was inappropriate. Add another ten taels, but it is by no means a real reward, but it is just because I am afraid that Tong De will leak this matter and cause a big trouble for the strongman to steal. This made Tong De feel that Zhang Zhong treated him so loyally, and gagged him like this, as if he was sending a person to ask for food, which made him hateful, and in his heart, everything he tried to plot against the Zhang family with the help of the Pei family was taken for granted. As for the Pei family's true purpose, Tong De could naturally hear a little. The Zhang family is just a victim, what the Pei family wants to deal with is Bai Kui in Bailong Town, as for when Bai Kui provoked Pei Yuan, Tong De is not clear, if you have to think about it, it is probably because of Xie Qingyun, when Xie Qingyun dealt with Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao invited Pei Yuan to help, but even Pei Yuan was unlucky. It can be said that Xie Qingyun is the common enemy of the Zhang family and the Pei family, and Bailong Town provoked the Zhang family, and there are still things in the past, for the Pei family. It can only be Xie Qingyun's involvement. Although both the Zhang family and the Pei family hate Xie Qingyun's bastard, the Pei family will not cooperate with the Zhang family. And most of Pei Yuan lost a lot of face in front of Xie Qingyun and suffered a lot. will also blame the Zhang family, using the Zhang family like this. harming the Zhang family and that Bai Kui is considered to kill two birds with one stone, why not do it for the Pei family, such a style of action is also very in line with Pei Jie's poisonous fangs. Of course, all this is Tong De's own figured out, as for the deeper situation, he will not think about it, that is, after he has thought about it, he has also left it behind, he knows that sometimes he needs to be confused, confused to save his life, to be rich, not only confused, but also confused in his heart, if he is just confused in his mouth, he thinks too much in his heart, and he will inevitably have troubles。 Tong De is not only confused about the Pei family, the predator, but also a wolf to him at the moment, he wants to seize this wolf, and he is also confused, so he said to Zhang Zhong with some excitement: " Thank you for the love of the shopkeeper, to be honest, I just said that although the reward is sincere, but there is a reward will naturally be comfortable, I thought that the shopkeeper will not be stingy, will give me a one-time reward of hundreds of taels of silver, but I didn't think that the shopkeeper is not only not stingy, but also very generous, this has given the villain a rise of fifty taels every month, so calculated, not to mention hundreds of taels, the villain is really a little flattered, the villain will be the shopkeeper to do his best, whether before or after, swear allegiance to the Zhang family, be the big housekeeper of the Zhang family for a lifetime, to have the shopkeeper such an owner, it is really my child's blessing。 ”

Zhang Chong saw Tong De like this, he was satisfied, he heard a lot of Tong De's sycophants for many years, although he knew that it was a bit exaggerated, but it was within the scope of his acceptance, and Tong De did not have the slightest second heart, this housekeeper should have been more patted with the old man's sycophants, Zhang Chong would not think that Tong De was so hypocritical to him, as now, Zhang Chong thought that Tong De should be sincerely grateful to him for raising his salary, he knew that Tong De had earned a lot outside with the help of the identity of the Zhang family's housekeeper, these salaries may not be worth it, but the increase of fifty taels is enough to represent his Zhang Chong's attention to Tong De, and it can be regarded as invisibly enhancing Tong De's status in the Zhang familyAfter the following little stewards know it, they will have more respect for this big housekeeper, and it will be more convenient to do things outside, so that Tong De is not grateful to him who else can he be grateful to, this Zhongpin Wudan matter will not be leaked out, unless he is caught and tortured, this Zhang Chong has no confidence in anyone, but if there is no extreme thing, no one will catch Tong De to torture anything, Zhang Chong asked himself to be very low-key in Hengshou Town, never offend anyone, in Ningshui County is a model of lying on his stomach, to the martial arts pill building, as much as a slave, just in exchange for the comfort of being a rich man。 Then Zhang Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Don't be arrogant, everything is what you deserve." Having said this, Zhang Chong didn't plan to say more about this matter, so as to save that Tong De from feeling that after he got the middle-grade martial arts, he paid too much attention to it, so he couldn't say that the owner liked it so much, so why not reward some of his own ideas. At that moment, Zhang Chong didn't wait for Tong De to answer, so he continued: "This time I went to the Liewudan Medicine House to buy goods, but it went well?"

Tong De nodded and said, "Everything is as usual, the shopkeeper of the Dan Medicine Building came over to take a look, said a few words casually, and handed over the villain to the medicine foreman." After everything was negotiated, I went to pick up the goods in the afternoon. The villains have checked them one by one, and there is no difference from the past. ”

Zhang Zhong let out an "um". Said: "It can only be like this, this pill business, one is the Liewu Dan Medicine Building, the other is the Wuhua Dan Medicine Building, we can't surpass them in the sky, in this medicine pavilion in Ningshui County, we are already the best, in the Liewu Dan Medicine Building, just endure it." Sighed. Zhang Chong said again: "That's why I will urge Zhang Zhao, this bastard boy, to practice diligently, there is no need for him to be more productive in the future, but once he becomes a martial artist, the status of our Martial Arts Medicine Pavilion will be a little higher, although it is impossible to compare to the Martial Arts Pill Pavilion, but it is still stronger than now, and they may not treat us so contemptuously." As he spoke, Zhang Zhong looked up at Tong De and said, "I said Tong De." You are in your early forties, and you don't marry a wife or have children, and we are not warriors, and our lifespan is limited. gave birth to children earlier, and urged them to practice martial arts diligently, so that you can be like me in the future. Self-reliance, our two families support each other. Although Ningshui County Town doesn't want to think about it, it is in Hengshou Town. The other three martial arts families, why do we have to face it so low-key now, and make it extremely unhappy. ”

Tong De heard Zhang Zhong say this, hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The shopkeeper of the proprietor said this, but it is a torment to the villain, the villain is to marry a wife and have children will not stand on his own, the villain said that there are people in this world who are suitable to be leaders, and some people are only suitable for being right-hand men, I just gave birth to a child and became a warrior, and my family is also a subordinate of the Zhang family, I have not heard that the prime minister's child has become a martial saint, and he will win over the royal family." He is still the prime minister, his son is either the prime minister or the general, people do the ultimate in their own position, it is also a great pleasure, why covet what you can't get, that's self-inflicted. ”

Tong De's words were full of joy, but his face did not change, and he nodded slightly: "You Tong De, we are just the proprietor and housekeeper of a pharmacy in the countryside, how can we always compare with the emperor's prime minister, and we are not afraid of being laughed at when we say it, fortunately, our martial arts country is not such a closed and strict country, I heard that there are some countries in Dongzhou, and this is heard and sued by the yamen, but it is going to be killed." ”

Tong De hurriedly smiled and said: "That's another country, our emperor Lu Wu is enlightened, since he was born in Dongzhou, he can say this, why should he be cautious about this? After saying this, Tong De took this opportunity to continue: "By the way, the shopkeeper of the owner, speaking of the little master, the villain has an idea on the way back, and wants to talk to the shopkeeper of the owner." ”

"Oh?" Zhang nodded heavily: "I forgot about this stubble, this time you also went to see Zhao'er, he didn't cause any trouble." ”

Tong De shook his head with a smile and said: "How can it cause any trouble, the little young master suffered from Xie Qingyun's eight lambs, although our Zhang family was humiliated, and we must take revenge in the future, but in fact, the little young master has changed some of his temperament because of this, and he has also learned the ability of the shopkeeper to be low-key in front of the strong, and every time he went to see him in the past, this kid is a lot calmer, and his body is stronger than the last time, obviously he has put a lot of effort, and when he went home last year, the shopkeeper of the owner also saw that the cocoons of his small hands are thicker than our family. ”

"That's good, you just said what you want to talk about, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Zhang Chong nodded again, but he was very relieved in his heart, happy for Zhang Zhao's changes, he really felt that Xie Qingyun had bullied his son last time, his son did not suffer in vain, when he was in the town, Zhang Zhao had been very arrogant before he was eight years old, although he was also a little worried that this son did not suffer as much as he did in Bailong Town, and his Zhang family was not a martial arts family, and his son might suffer from this in the future, but in addition to urging his son to exercise his physique, he was still reluctant to be strict with his son in other aspects, fortunately, he was very humiliated as soon as he went to the Sanyi Academy, although Zhang Chong was very angry when he learned everything at that time, even until now, he wanted to be against Xie Qingyun, revenge on Bailong Town, but he is still very happy about the change in his son.

Tong De waited for this time, when he saw Zhang Zhong asking, he immediately put on a look of pity for Zhang Zhao, and when he called Zhang Zhao this kid, he also made a foreshadowing for this, as if he loved his own child so much, and now he has a look of pity, it is also a matter of course, so it is not abrupt, and at the same time he made such a look, he said in his mouth: " I see that the little master is too hard, some of them force themselves too tightly, I heard that people who practice martial arts also have a saying that they go mad, they are too diligent in cultivation, and they are afraid that they will get twice the result and half of the work is still small, if they really go mad and affect the foundation of becoming a martial artist, it will be bad. After a pause, Tong De continued: "In a few days, won't the proprietor have a big birthday, I want to take the little master back to live for a few days, so that the little master can relax a little." (To be continued......)
