Chapter 11 Absolute Zhang Wanshan was also frightened when he saw the shopkeeper's reaction, and asked quickly, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" "Old man, where did you get this magical herb?" The shopkeeper was extremely surprised. "What? Spiritual herbs?" Zhang Wanshan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked down at Gu Chan who was standing next to him. Gu Chan held her head high with a harmless smile on her face. The counter was a head higher than her, so she couldn't see the shopkeeper's interesting expression inside. Zhang Wanshan quickly reached out and picked up Gu Chan and held her in his arms. Gu Chan stared at the shopkeeper and said, "My grandfather accidentally dug it up when he was chopping wood in the mountains." "Old man, you are so lucky! You managed to dig up a magical herb. I really admire you." "Haha... yes, I'm lucky." Zhang Wanshan quickly laughed dryly to cover it up. Gu Chan secretly winked at him, indicating that he must cooperate.
Zhang Wanshan understood immediately and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much can I sell this spiritual herb for?" "Hmm! The quality is average. It must have been dug out a few days ago and has dried up. There is still mist on the leaves, so it must have been soaked in water. I will give you at most eighty taels of silver." What a profiteer, what a profiteer! Even if it was of average quality, it was worth at least one hundred and fifty taels of silver. This stinky fat pig stabbed it with his knife, almost cutting it in half. He was really cruel. Zhang Wanshan was ignorant of the situation. When he heard that this tiny medicinal herb could be sold for eighty taels of silver, his eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. Gu Chan secretly reached out and pinched his arm to calm him down, then looked at the boss and said calmly, "Eighty taels? Boss, you are cheating me, right? I heard that spiritual herbs like this, even if they are of average quality, can be sold for at least 150 taels of silver. And this one my grandfather dug up was only dug out two or three days ago. It is not only fresh, but also of good quality. It should be sold for at least 200 taels of silver." “……”Shopkeeper. Zhang Wanshan was very excited. "What? Two hundred taels of silver? Is it true?" "Grandpa, let's not sell it to him. Let's go to other pharmacies and ask." Gu Chan used provocation. Zhang Wanshan cooperated and quickly reached out, trying to snatch the spiritual herb back from the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper quickly stepped back and put on a smile, "Don't worry! Business is negotiated! Let's talk more." "What, are you going to rob us now? Grandpa, if he dares not give us the spiritual herbs, I will report him to the police." Gu Chan said in a strong tone, not timid at all. The shopkeeper was depressed, staring at Gu Chan and said unhappily, "I say, you kid, you look young, but you have a powerful mouth. I am really afraid of you. So I will give you one hundred and thirty taels of silver, no more." "No, two hundred taels of silver, or I won't sell it." "This spiritual herb is really not worth two hundred taels of silver. A spiritual herb worth this much money must be dug out and sent to us for sale within three hours. We can still transplant it into the soil, and it is considered to be of excellent quality." The shopkeeper explained earnestly. Gu Chan observed his expression and found that he did not seem to be lying. Zhang Wanshan also whispered in her ear, "One hundred and thirty taels of silver is a lot. It's enough for us to pay the head tax, and there will be thirty taels of silver left, which can guarantee the living expenses of our grandfather and grandson for at least two more months." Gu Chan ignored Grandpa and glared at the shopkeeper. "Then let's take the lowest price of 150 taels of silver. Just give us 130 taels." "Boy, what do you mean?" the shopkeeper asked in confusion. "You don't have to give me the remaining twenty taels, just do me a favor." Gu Chan rolled her eyes cunningly. The shopkeeper's expression changed instantly.
If he had only looked at Gu Chan and the other two with contempt and arrogance just now, he now looked at them with a little more respect, especially a child like Gu Chan, who could run the business so flawlessly, which made him look at them with a hint of appreciation. Therefore, the shopkeeper also became interested and joked, "You are a smart kid who knows how to do business. OK! Let me hear what you want me to do for you for twenty taels of silver." "Find a powerful thug and go to Jiuyang Village to beat Zhao Erniu up for me." Gu Chan's face was cold, he clenched his fists, and his tone was firm. Zhang Wanshan stared at her with his jaw almost dropping in shock. He never expected that this grandson whom he accidentally picked up would have such courage and guts. The shopkeeper shook his head. "For twenty taels of silver, I don't have the trouble to offend the local tyrants in Jiuyang Village." "Only the three of us know about this. If we don't tell anyone, who would know that you sent the person? Besides, my grandfather and I will often go into the mountains to chop wood in the future. Who knows, we might be lucky enough to dig up spiritual herbs again? We can even establish a long-term cooperative relationship." "..." The shopkeeper stopped talking again. Gu Chan took advantage of the victory and continued, "Think carefully. If you don't agree to my terms, I won't sell you this spiritual herb. We took it to other medicine shops, and the shopkeepers also scrambled for it and were happy to cooperate with us for a long time." "Boy, you are really a business talent. Okay, I will help you with this favor today. Let's be friends. If you dig up spiritual herbs in the future, remember to sell them to me." The shopkeeper did not hesitate any longer, and out of admiration for Gu Chan, he finally agreed. Then he took out a piece of red cloth, carefully wrapped up the spiritual herb and put it away, then he took out paper and pen to write the ticket, and asked the waiter to bring 130 taels of silver and hand it to Zhang Wanshan. Zhang Wanshan took the bag of silver and was so excited that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking. Gu Chan had a calm expression on her face, showing wisdom and calmness beyond her peers. After signing the ticket and putting his fingerprints on it, the shopkeeper handed it to Gu Chan and said to her, "You guys go back first. I'll immediately find a master to go to Jiuyang Village and beat Zhao Erniu. This way, by the time you get home, the master will have beaten him up and returned." "Okay, thank you very much, boss. To show my gratitude, I will give you another half of the spiritual herb." As Gu Chan spoke, she reached into her arms again, took out a plant of Bauhinia blood-red grass, quickly broke it in half, and generously threw the lower half to the shopkeeper, while she stuffed the upper half back into her arms. The shopkeeper was holding half a plant of Bauhinia blood-red grass in his hand, and he was stunned on the spot, extremely surprised. Zhang Wanshan was also stunned and couldn't believe this fact. He thought that Gu Chan only had one spiritual herb, but unexpectedly she had another in her arms. Most importantly, she was so extravagant that she broke a good spiritual herb into two halves! This... is absolutely amazing! "Grandpa, why are you still standing there? Let's go!" Gu Chan ignored the two people's surprise, smiled at Zhang Wanshan, said this, then turned and walked out of the pharmacy, leaving only her chic back, which completely shocked the two people. Zhang Wanshan was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses and chased after him. "Hurry, hurry, come, get an expert here." As soon as the two men walked out of the pharmacy, the shopkeeper immediately shouted at the waiter, not daring to neglect them. After all, spiritual herbs are rare. Gu Chan can see more than one spiritual herb at a glance. For a God of Wealth like this, he naturally has to be enthusiastic and offer it well. (End of this chapter)
