Chapter 785 Bargaining

Chu Yang needed a lot of elixir, so he read more than twenty names in one breath and informed him of the required quantity.

The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the names of these medicinal materials on the paper.

Looking at the list listed above, the shopkeeper was very happy. He patted his chest and said: "Sir, you have come to our store at the right time. Not only do we sell elixirs, but we also have a complete range of elixirs. On this list, in addition to Except for some medicinal herbs that I have never heard of, there are others. If you want to buy them, you can buy them all directly without having to go to a second store. Other pharmacies don’t have as much as what I have!”

The shopkeeper's last words were completely superfluous. He probably thought Chu Yang was being taken advantage of because he was so generous in buying the detoxification pill, so he tried hard to deceive him, fearing that he would lose this big buyer.

Chu Yang didn't point it out. A few days ago, he saw medicine shops with bigger reputations than Jiuzhitang on the street. If these medicine shops hadn't closed down today, he wouldn't have patronized this small shop.

However, a small shop also has its advantages, at least it is more beneficial to him when bargaining.

Chu Yang asked about the missing elixirs. Seeing that they were not needed yet, he asked: "Shopkeeper, I have a lot of elixirs. Is the price suitable?"

The shopkeeper said sternly: "Don't worry, sir, the price I will give you is definitely the lowest price. I can't find another one in Huayang!"

"Okay, take me to see the quality first. If it's not good, I won't buy it." Chu Yang decided to go and have a look first, and then discuss the price if it's suitable.

"no problem."

The shopkeeper was very cooperative. He rushed to Chu Yang in a few steps, bowed and made a greeting gesture, and said, "Young master, go to the backyard. All the medicinal materials are stored in the medicine cabinet."

"good."

Chu Yang nodded and went to the backyard with the shopkeeper.

Jiuzhitang is a front store with a backyard. The front door is not big, but the backyard is very spacious. There are various tools for preparing medicinal materials, and various medicinal materials are dried on several rows of wooden shelves.

Most of the medicinal materials dried outside were ordinary goods, and only more than ten kinds could be regarded as elixirs. The shopkeeper did not stop in the backyard, but took Chu Yang directly into a room and said to Chu Yang: "Sir, please, we store them inside." The elixir warehouse has all the elixirs you want."

Chu Yang walked in casually and looked around.

There are more than a dozen medicine cabinets as tall as a person in this room. Each medicine cabinet has dozens of drawers with names written on them. It looks like a lot.

After walking around the room, Chu Yang saw a needed elixir, so he opened the drawer and took out the elixir stored inside to observe it.

Judging from Chu Yang's experience, the quality of this elixir is really good, the preservation method is also very suitable, and the spiritual energy contained in the elixir is quite rich.

Taking this elixir, Chu Yang found several other needed elixirs. He felt they were pretty good, so he said to the shopkeeper next to him: "Shopkeeper, please help me prepare the rest. I want them all."

"okay!"

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and shouted several times outside the door, calling the apprentices who were busy in the courtyard and asking them to help Chu Yang prepare the elixir.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, several waiters quickly helped him select the elixir and delivered it to the counter of the store.

"Sir, these are seventeen kinds of medicinal materials. Can you take a look at them?"

The shopkeeper checked it correctly and handed the order to Chu Yang.

"No."

Chu Yang had just seen it and said to the display cabinet: "Calculate how much it costs first, so I can pay you."

"Master, wait a moment."

The shopkeeper took out an abacus from under the counter, placed his hands on it, and fiddled with the beads.

Less than twenty years later, the shopkeeper finished the calculation, pushed the abacus in front of Chu Yang, and said with a smile: "Seventeen kinds of elixirs, a total of thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty-four Tongbao!"

ha?

Chu Yang was shocked by this number and opened his mouth subconsciously.

These elixirs are not cheap. Chu Yang was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked when he heard that such a large package of elixirs was more than all his belongings!

"Did I hear wrongly? Can you please say something more, shopkeeper?"

Chu Yang came back to his senses and asked again.

The shopkeeper was very surprised when he saw his expression, and was afraid that this number would scare away the fat sheep, so he felt a little unsure, so he repeated in a low voice: "There are 11,624 Tongbao in total."

Are you asking yourself to cut your own price?

Chu Yang was very surprised. Before he even said anything, the shopkeeper took the initiative to offer a discount. It can be seen that the number reported by the shopkeeper must be a lot of profit.

Now he is waiting to refine the elixir, and other pharmacies are not open. It is really hard for Chu Yang to fall out with the shopkeeper Zehuoge Heixin. After thinking about it, he decided to think of a way to negotiate a suitable price, otherwise he would have to think of other ways. Bought the elixir.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang deliberately looked embarrassed and said: "These elixirs are very cheap, but I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring much money with me. I don't seem to have enough to pay the bill."

"What's the problem? Just give me an order and ask the assistant to go to the house with you to get it. You can also help the young master to send the elixir back."

The shopkeeper adheres to the principle that customers are God and decides to send Buddha to the West.

However, to his surprise, Chu Yang actually shook his head and said: "To be honest, I am an outsider. When I went out for training this time, I happened to encounter a demon making trouble, so I joined the guard team recruited by the city lord. Now the crisis is It’s lifted, I have to continue on my way, I can’t stay in Huayang for a long time, so why not buy it with the money when I come to Huayang next time.”

"What?"

The shopkeeper's face changed when he heard this, and he forced a stiff smile and said: "Sir, it took a lot of effort to prepare all the elixirs. Isn't it a bit unethical for you to just say no to them?"

Chu Yang frowned when he heard this, looked at the shopkeeper with a cold face, and said, "When did I say I didn't want it anymore? I just don't have enough money, so I have to get it when I come to Huayang next time, but I never said I didn't want these elixirs."

Business people are very shrewd, and they naturally know that as long as the customer says he will buy it next time, it means that he doesn’t want it anymore. After finally encountering such a fat sheep, how can the shopkeeper bear the pain and let it go?

As soon as he rolled his eyes, the shopkeeper thought of a way, pointed at a pack of elixirs and said: "How about this, sir, you can subtract a few elixirs, and the rest should be enough to pay the bill. This is the best of both worlds, how about it?" "

Unexpectedly, Chu Yang still shook his head and said: "That won't work. I bought the elixirs to learn how to make alchemy. If I lack a few medicinal materials, it will be of no use even if I get the others. Besides, if you put these elixirs here, say The medicine may lose its potency after a while, so wouldn't it be wasted? I'd better ask the shopkeeper to keep it for me for a few days, and I'll come back to pick it up then. "

It makes sense to say this. Although Chu Yang is a fat sheep, he can't buy or sell by force in Huayang City. For a moment, he felt sweat on his forehead.

Ever since it was reported that the Wuji Sect demons were moving to Huayang, Jiuzhitang's business has plummeted, which has worsened the already bleak business. He rented this shop. Although the four or five apprentices do not need to be paid, they still have to eat horse chews every day. An expense, the number on the ledger has been decreasing in the past twenty days. If it develops at this pace, I am afraid that there will be a northwest wind next month.

After Chu Yang came to take care of the business, the shopkeeper made up his mind to kill him severely and supplement his income so that he could survive until Huayang reopened the market.

Therefore, today's business is like rain for him. If it succeeds, he will be able to survive. If it fails, he will lose everything and even be burdened with huge debts.

"Sir, I wonder how much money you brought?"

Finally, the shopkeeper asked heartbrokenly, as if he had made up his mind.

Chu Yang's expression remained unchanged, but he was laughing in his heart. It seemed that the shopkeeper was really desperate and planned to take the initiative to chop him again.

"Alas, I left too quickly this time. I only brought nine thousand Tongbao with me, which is still two to three thousand short."

Upon hearing this number, the shopkeeper immediately calculated it in his mind.

If the transaction is done with nine thousand Tongbao, you can still make more than one thousand.

For the elixir industry, this profit is indeed a bit thin, but the industry is currently in a recession. If this business is completed, although the profit will be a little less, the number on the book is increasing at least, as long as Jiuzhitang can slow down for a while , maybe we can even find a way to bring him back to life!

After weighing the balance, the shopkeeper sighed deliberately and said: "Forget it, our shop is in urgent need of people. You can't delay your master's study of alchemy. I just want to make a friend. These elixirs are sold for nine thousand tongbao. How about it?"

Chu Yang observed the shopkeeper's expression and saw that although his expression was as usual, his eyes were a little forlorn. Once he saw that he had reached his bottom line, he gave up the intention of continuing to bargain and nodded: "In that case, then I will buy it. Come on, don’t have to make another trip.”

After receiving the money and goods, Chu Yang left Jiuzhitang with the elixir in his arms.

Now that he has these elixirs, he can not only refine the Beauty Pill, but also other elixirs that assist in training, which solves his urgent need.

Back at Xianyun Inn, Su Yue and Jiang Xiaoyuan were talking in the courtyard. Seeing that he came back safely, her heart felt relieved.

They had just been discussing that this time Chu Yang injured Yu Zian, and he might have thrown himself into a trap by going to the City Lord's Mansion. If Yu Wenlong wanted to avenge his son, then his situation would be very dangerous.

The two discussed it and were about to go to the city lord's mansion to see what was going on. Before they could finish talking, Chu Yang came back.

After hearing what they said, Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly talked about what happened today.

When they learned that Yu Wenlong asked his son to kowtow to Chu Yang to apologize, the two women were quite surprised. They didn't know why the dignified lord of the city was so humble and asked his son to kowtow to apologize in public. It was really unreasonable.

However, when they learned that Chu Yang had a sister who had a great background and could even make Yu Wenlong consider himself a junior, their expressions suddenly became very subtle.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Xiaoyuan asked pretending to be curious: "Chu Yang, how old is the sister you just recognized? Is she a gray-haired old woman?"

"How are you talking!"

Chu Yang said angrily: "Although Sister Miaoyu has been cultivating for hundreds of years, she looks like a young girl. Although she usually pretends to be reserved, her true character is still very lively. She gets along well with me. This time she saved me." My life, don’t talk nonsense!”
