Chapter 6 - Business?
Thinking of this, his steps sped up.
After walking for a while, Lin Lil 'Ye raised her head and saw a signboard above her head that had the words' Good Harmony Temple 'written on it. This was the place.
Lin Lil 'Ye immediately walked in. There were still no customers in medicinal herb shop, so she only saw a shop assistant tidying something up.
"Buddy, is your storekeeper here?"
The shop assistant yawned and looked over. He was startled and almost gasped for air.
"So ugly, so ugly …"
Lin Lil 'Ye touched her face with her hand.
Sigh, this face is indeed a bit scary. This shop assistant can understand even after being scared like this. It would be better if he had something to hide him for a while.
Thinking about that, Lin Lil 'Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She immediately took out a fair piece of cloth from her waist and tied it around her face. This was the equivalent of a veil.
Although this piece of cloth really couldn't compare with the smooth veil.
"Man, I'm asking you a question."
Only then did the waiter look over. When he saw that she had covered half her face and was much more frightening than before, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"If you want to catch some medicine, you just have to find me. Give me the prescription."
"I'm not here to get medicine, I'm here to discuss business with your storekeeper."
The doorman was shocked, "Business? With just you? "
Lin Lil 'Ye straightened her body: "What?" Can't I have something good right now? "
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye took off the basket and held it in her hands.
The shop assistant immediately stretched out his neck to take a peek at what was in the basket, while Lin Lil 'Ye immediately blocked it. This was a very precious look.
The shop assistant could only pout his lips in boredom.
"Look at yourself, what other precious things can you possibly have? "Wait and see!"
Lin Lil 'Ye rolled her eyes at him.
To judge a person by his appearance? Hmph, grandaunt is a descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine family. It was just a matter of time. Once his grandma was cured, he would scare them to death!
"The shopkeeper is her. She said that she has a treasure for business."
The shop assistant brought the shopkeeper out.
The shopkeeper was wearing a sapphire blue outer coat, looking middle-aged. He was neither fat nor thin, but he had a face full of blessings. The most eye-catching thing was the jade thumb ring on his left hand.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Lin Lil 'Ye.
"May I ask what good things you have?"
Lin Lil 'Ye glanced at him, she was a nice person.
"Are you the shopkeeper here? "He can make the decision?"
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded his head: "Don't worry, Miss. As long as it is a good treasure, I will definitely give you a reasonable price."
"Alright then. Take a look at this and see how much it is worth." Lin Lil 'Ye took out the scorpion from the basket.
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately held the scorpion in his palm and squinted his eyes to take a closer look at the sunlight.
The waiter immediately moved closer to take a look.
"Isn't this a scorpion? I thought it was some treasure. "
"Baby! "What a treasure!"
Just as the shop assistant finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang's surprised exclamation came out. The shop assistant was instantly at a loss.
"Shopkeeper, isn't this a scorpion? Is it really a treasure? "
This scorpion is not an ordinary scorpion. Look at its body, it's already half the size of a palm. And judging from its color, an ordinary scorpion can only live for 5-7 years at most. However, this scorpion has lived for at least 10 years! "
Lin Lil 'Ye smiled, "Shopkeeper Zhang has great eyesight. This scorpion is indeed a rare treasure. Furthermore, look at the color of its tail. As long as you squeeze out the venom, it would be more valuable than the scorpion itself!"
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately squinted his eyes and took a careful look at the tail.
"Aiya, lady is right. This venom is different from the venom of ordinary scorpions. If it were used in medicinal herbs, it would be a good thing!"
With that, Shopkeeper Zhang's gaze immediately darkened, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at Lin Lil 'Ye.
"Miss, where did you get this scorpion?"
The corner of Lin Lil 'Ye's mouth curled up, how could she tell him something like that?
"Shopkeeper, please be at ease. I unintentionally obtained this scorpion. Its origin must be right. Since you know what it is, you should give me a price."
Manager Zhang nodded.
This girl was not simple!
He immediately had a plan.
"How about this, I've only taken this scorpion from you before, how about I pay you twice the price of an ordinary scorpion?"
After he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang shouted in the blink of an eye: "Shun Zi, go to the account room and fetch four hundred copper coins for this lady."
Lin Lil 'Ye's palm immediately tightened.
Twice as strong? Did he really think that she was a fool?
In this era, ordinary scorpions were all natural. In the modern world, no matter what, they would have to sell for over a thousand pieces. Yet, in this place, there were only a few hundred copper coins?
At this time, the shop assistant, Shun Zi, was still unhappy: "Innkeeper, isn't it just a scorpion? It can be sold for 400 copper coins? "
Just as Shopkeeper Zhang was giving him a meaningful glance, the corner of Lin Ye's mouth hooked up.
"That's right, Shopkeeper Zhang. This scorpion isn't worth 400 copper coins."
Shopkeeper Zhang's palm suddenly emitted a cold feeling as he hurriedly rubbed it.
"Yes, yes, yes. This shop assistant of mine is not sensible and is being laughed at by the lady. Then, according to the lady, which one do you think is suitable?"
Lin Xiao smiled, "Shopkeeper Zhang, you are a businessman, so this matter is naturally your decision. I am a woman from a mountain village, and I don't know much about business matters. If you really can't be sure, why don't I go to the medicinal herb shop and ask for the price first?"
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye prepared to go to the scorpion.
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately became anxious and quickly used his hand to block it.
"Girl, you really know how to joke. Since you've brought all your things here, it's not good for other bosses to see."
With that, Shopkeeper Zhang pondered for a moment and continued: "How about this, the scorpion you sent over is indeed a good item. But as you can see, I'm only a small shop here, so I'll give you a reasonable price. How about one tael of silver?"
One tael of silver? This was still a bit off from his budget. Everyone said that there was no deceit, so it seemed that if he didn't teach this shopkeeper a lesson, he wouldn't give up.
Thinking about that, Lin Lil 'Ye's palm tightened: "Shopkeeper, how would I not know about this treasure? I saw that your signboard was kind, so I came here first. If this business is done well, then my treasures can go somewhere, right?"
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately stretched out his neck and lowered his voice.
"What other good stuff does the lady have?"
Lin Lil 'Ye smiled: "Of course there is something good. I just don't know if the shopkeeper is willing to accept it."
Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned and his gaze darkened. In the blink of an eye, he looked at Lin Lil 'Ye and his palm tightened up.
This girl was really secretive!
Chapter 7 -?
Thinking about it, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately sighed. "Lady, you really are the most amazing woman I've ever met. Today, I'll teach you as my friend."
After he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang said in a blink of an eye: "Shun Zi, go and fetch two taels of silver."
The shop assistant's eyes immediately widened, "Two..." Two taels? shopkeeper, are you sure you're not mistaken? "
The shopkeeper frowned, "What? These few days, you've been too idle and your ears can't be used, right? Do you want me to give you a long vacation to rest up? "
Hearing that, the shop assistant immediately shrunk his head and ran.
Lin Lil 'Ye smiled.
It seemed like this shopkeeper was quite powerful. Fine, two taels of silver. I can't force him to do business for the first time. Who knows, maybe he might even have business dealings with him in the future?
As he was thinking, Shopkeeper Zhang spoke.
"Miss, I don't know where else you have good stuff?"
Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned, she rubbed her palms together.
Heavens, how could she still have good stuff? She was just randomly spouting nonsense just now.
"Of course there are good things, but you'll have to wait a while. You know, good things need to be nurtured in special places. It will definitely take time to transport them, right?"
After saying this, the two of them politely smiled.
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded his head. "You are right, young lady. Are we satisfied with our business today?" "If we can work together in the future, I can assure you that the price will only get better in the future."
"Alright, I like to negotiate business with straightforward people like the manager!"
If he knew that she had nothing in her hands, the shopkeeper would probably regret it to death.
Lin Lil 'Ye took two taels of silver and left the medicinal herb shop.
She didn't know why, but although she was holding a silver stone in her hand, her heart was filled with an indescribable excitement. This was the first money she earned since arriving in this era, so she had to reward herself well.
As he was thinking, he raised his head and saw a grain and oil shop. Suddenly, he remembered that there was nothing at home but salt. He immediately walked in.
There were many people inside the grain and oil stores. There were also many stalls of varying sizes. The items sold in each stall were all different.
There were really too many people here. Lin Lil 'Ye was worried that they wouldn't be able to squeeze out when the time came, so she bought some common seasonings, pepper, chili, and salt and vinegar from the entrance.
After exiting the grain and oil store, he suddenly frowned when he saw the items in his hands.
"Eh? Why didn't I see any oil? "
He looked around and realized that there wasn't any place that sold oil.
Don't the people here eat oil?
"Ah, let's go and take a look. I just killed pork today, it's fresh …"
The sound of hawkers came from nearby, and quite a few people hurriedly ran over.
Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned.
Pork? It's not bad to buy some fat to refine the oil.
Thinking about that, Lin Lil 'Ye immediately ran over happily. At that moment, she felt that there were benefits to having a skinny body, so she managed to get to the front after a short while.
The butcher opened his mouth and said, "How much fresh pork do you want?"
Lin Lil 'Ye took a look, and saw ribs, pork elbows, and pork on the chopping board. She did not see many pieces of fat.
Do you want to buy some ribs and go back to the stew?
Just as he was deep in thought, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind him.
"Yo yo yo! Look at how worn out your clothes are. You still want to buy meat for your meal?"
"That's right, he pushed his way to the front even though he doesn't have money, aren't he afraid of being laughed at?"
"Buy it or not, hurry up and leave. There are a lot of people waiting behind us."
"That's right …"
With that, those aunts gave each other a look, wanting to push Lin Lil 'Ye out. Lin Lil' Ye immediately grabbed onto the chopping board with her hands, and allowed those people to pull her. She couldn't move at all.
One of his aunts took two deep breaths. "Your body is so small, but you still have so much strength?"
Lin Lil 'Ye smiled, that was a must.
"Aunts, don't worry, I will definitely buy meat."
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye looked at the meat on the chopping board.
"Boss, do you have any fat here?"
Hearing this, the surrounding people started to mock him.
"Come on, you can't even afford thin meat, and you still want to buy fat?"
"That's right …"
Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned. What happened to the fat? Isn't fat cheaper than lean?
He heard the boss say, "Yes, yes. I was the one who cut off my fat. How much do you want?"
As he spoke, he saw the boss bring up a wooden bucket filled with fat.
"Sure, how much is one catty of fat?"
"Thirty copper coins for one catty."
"Thirty?" Lin Lil 'Ye was shocked.
It was indeed a little expensive.
Behind him, someone taunted, "Hmph, if you can't afford it, don't buy it. You're still smacking your face and making yourself look like a fatty."
"That's right. You better ask this boss if he can help you pick some bones to go back home. Don't even think about eating meat."
"Bones? "Hmph, I don't think she can even afford to eat bones. Look at her poverty-stricken appearance and that face. What kind of cloth is that?"
"It's probably because he's too ugly and is afraid of scaring everyone!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of mockery from the surroundings. The anger in Lin Ye's heart was triggered, and her palm tightened.
Hmph, saying that she has no money?
As he thought, he pointed at the wooden bucket.
"Boss, give me ten catties of fat."
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. They all stared at her with widened eyes. Even the owner was surprised.
"Miss, are you sure you want ten pounds?"
Lin Lil 'Ye instantly glanced at him: "What?" Are you worried that I won't be able to pay? "
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye reached out with her hand and took out one tael of silver.
The owner nodded immediately. "Miss, please wait a moment. I will pack it for you right now. Do you still want anything else?"
Lin Leyan glanced at him and said, "Another two catties of lean meat and two catties of ribs. Put them away properly for me."
"Alright!" The butcher was instantly overjoyed.
At this moment, the arrogance of the surrounding women had lessened significantly.
"She really is rich, actually buying ten catties in one go. I don't even dare to buy that much."
"Yeah, looking at her clothes, I thought she didn't have any money."
As he spoke, the voices of these people became quieter and quieter. They no longer dared to move forward anymore.
Lin Lil 'Ye raised her chin.
He picked up the meat and left.
However, once she walked out of the crowd, she immediately looked at the silver in her hands with a sullen look.
How rash is the devil!
Lin Lil 'Ye, ah Lin Lil, I just can't hold it. This is 10 catties of meat, it only cost me half a tael of silver to buy it.
Thinking that, Lin Lil 'Ye turned around and looked at those people with a sad expression, but she still left with those pieces of meat.
When she passed by the tailor shop, she had been suffering in her heart for quite a while. Buying clothes was a woman's nature, especially since she had just been left behind by those people. At the start, it was all because she did not have any decent clothes.
However, after considering the amount of silver in his possession, he gritted his teeth and quickly walked forward.
Lin Lil 'Ye, ah Lin Lil' Ye, you have to hold it in!
