088 Another incident
Dugu Muyou had no intention of maneuvering with Zhu Jingshan, so he said to Guan Changzai, " Elder Guan, please pay more attention to the matter just now. Mu You will leave first."
Guan Chang said with a smile, "That's natural. You can come to the shop to find me at any time in the future."
"Wait!" Zhu Jingshan suddenly stopped Dugu Muyou. Seeing her turn around, he smiled and said, "Just now, the elder said that Miss Jiu has refined the local Xuandan. I just need this elixir. Why don't Miss Jiu sell it to me?"
"The elder Xuandan has it in his hand. You can buy it from him. As for what I have, I'm sorry, I won't sell it."
After Dugumuyou finished speaking, he turned his head and left without any hesitation. Zhu Jingshan's smile gradually disappeared, staring at her back until it disappeared.
"Sir Zhu Si, do you still want this local Xuandan?" Guan Chang is asking.
Zhu Jingshan came to his senses and said with a smile, "Yes, of course." But I have another question. I don't know what Miss Jiu discussed with you just now?
"Ha ha!" Guan Chang smiled twice and stroked his white beard again. "This is the privacy between our store and Miss Jiu. You can't tell the third person to know it. Mr. Zhu must also know this rule."
Zhu Jingshan knew that Guan Chang was deliberately evasion, but there was nothing he could do. Zhengnan Lingcai Shop does have such a rule that this is not for themselves, but to do a good job of confidentiality for guests. It is understandable, and Zhu Jingshan can't do anything on this point.
"In that case, I won't ask. In addition to this local Xuandan, I also have some elixirs that I want to entrust the elders to help refine, you see..."
"Let's go upstairs to talk about it in detail, Mr. Zhu Si, please."
Dugumu came out of Zhengnan Lingcai Shop and walked slowly on the street, thinking about his thoughts. The missing ghost crying orchid is always a problem. Can we just wait? While thinking about this matter, Dugu Muyou wandered aimlessly and unconsciously came to the black market.
The so-called black market refers to informal operations, unlike the East City, which has fixed stores and stable and reliable operators. Most of the black market are stalls. Anyone can go to the black market to sell things. As long as they pay some fees, they can rent a stall. The black market is very mobile. Some people are still setting up stalls in the black market today and may not be there tomorrow, which is uncertain. Because of the loose management, the black market is often used to deal with goods of unknown origin.
Exit the East City, and then walk south for a while, you will reach the black market. The streets here are narrow, the houses on both sides are low, and some of them seem to be even crumbling. Dugumu walked on the street of the black market and walked to an open space. Because of the large place, there are many stalls here. It is the best place on the black market. Most of those who have set up stalls for a long time are concentrated here.
"Girl, do you want to buy some primrose? It's newly pulled out in the ground. Look, it's green.
As soon as Dugumu appeared, a sharp-eyed vendor came up and took his goods to her eyes, hoping that she could buy some. Dugumu shook his head and refused, and the small vendor left with indisappreciated. Later, several vendors came to take business one after another, which were rejected by Dugu Muyou one by one, and gradually fewer people did so.
Dugumu looked casually in front of the stall. Whether it is materials or skills, most of them are low-level. The miscellaneous things are all piled up together, and there is no way to say.
"Animal skin, ore, come and have a look and see if it's free. Hey, girl, I have a beauty elixir here. Won't you come and have a look? If you miss it, you will regret it."
Dugumu's eyes swept across the roadside stalls and suddenly stopped.
The vendor thought she was moved, so he quickly handed a bottle of elixir in a white jade bottle to Dugu Muyou with a smile, and said mysteriously, "My elixir is an accidental gain. After taking this bottle, it can delay aging, prolong her life, and make the girl more radiant and youthful. Li. If such a good thing hadn't met an affordable customer, it would have been coaxed away by others.
Dugumuyou pushed away the white jade bottle in front of him a little, but focused on a tortoise shell on the stall. This turtle shell is dark green, and the surface of the turtle shell is covered with patterns, arranged in a wonderful pattern. Dugumu looked at it several times and seemed to be quite interested in it.
The hawker looked at the white jade bottle he was holding, and then at the turtle shell held by Dugu Muyou. He said bitterly, "Girl, what do you think that thing is? It's just a green turtle shell, which is worthless. This bottle of elixir in my hand is a good thing. Smell it, this smell..."
No matter how the hawker recommends it, Dugu Muyou still hasn't pay any attention to the elixir.
The hawker secretly complained that his bottle of elixir has never been sold. The so-called beauty and beauty is not very effective for practitioners, and ordinary people can't afford this price, and they have not been able to sell it so far. Now it's hard to see a young girl who seems to be affordable, but she is not interested at all.
The hawker still wanted to sell his elixir, but he heard Dugu Muyou suddenly say, "This turtle shell..."
"I want this turtle shell!" A famous man suddenly appeared and grabbed the tortoise shell in Dugumuyou's hand, "How much is it? I'll pay you."
The hawker glanced at the turtle shell and wondered why the turtle shell of a green turtle was so popular? Is this some kind of treasure that he didn't recognize? With doubts in his heart, the hawker replied a little slower and looked at the tortoise shell again, but still found nothing.
Dugumu looked back and was happy. The person who came was not someone else, but the pharmacist Chen of the Dugu family, who went back to school to bark and crawl.
"Dr. Chen, what a coincidence to meet you here." Thinking of what happened last time, a smile appeared on Du Muyou's lips.
Chen Yaoshi didn't have time to talk to Dugu Muyou, but just asked the hawker, "Why don't you talk? How much is it? This pharmacist is missing a green turtle shell, and I happened to see it on the way, so I don't have to go there again.
Dr. Chen's voice was rapid. Dugu Muyou had seen the sweat on his forehead, just a turtle shell. As for being so nervous? Is it urgent to pee? Of course, that's impossible.
"Dr. Chen, I like this turtle shell first." Dugumu said with a smile, "Master, you come first, don't you?"
Chen Yaoshi finally couldn't continue to ignore Dugu Muyou, and quickly defended himself: "Nonsense, it's clear that I said I wanted to buy it first. You just took it and didn't say you wanted to buy it. It's me first!"
He came to the black market today to buy things and strolled around. He suddenly saw Dugu Muyou's figure. As soon as Chen Yaoshi saw her, he only felt that his heart was beating wildly and his body was sweating coldly. The once unbearable scene unfolded in front of him, and he couldn't forget it.
Dr. Chen wanted to stay away from Dugumuyou. Anyway, he had almost bought it. He was about to sneak away, but he saw the tortoise shell in Dugumuyou's hand, and it was immediately difficult to walk.
The hawker finally understood when he heard Dugu Muyou's tone and looked at the expressions of the two. It turned out that it was not his turtle shell that was unique, but that these two people were enemies! Now that we meet on a narrow road, we can make a little trouble even if we have nothing to do, so we grab a tortoise shell. The hawker really wants to auction them directly, but the people in this industry should also pay attention to credit, and he still wants to continue to work for a long time. So he is going to use a more euphemistic approach.
The hawker looked bitter and said with a look that no one wanted to offend, "Two guests, what you said makes sense, but there is only one piece of turtle shell. What do you want me to do? This is really difficult to do.
Dugumuyou took the bottle of elixir from his hand, "Well, if you sell me this turtle shell, I will buy your unsalable elixir."
"Ha ha, the girl is so funny. My elixir is selling well. It's fate for you that I will get to the girl today. This... Chen Yaoshi, right? This girl did come first, you see..."
"Hmm!" Chen Yaoshi left some gold, stuffed the tortoise shell into his sleeve, and turned around to leave. "What a rogue hawker, he really opens his eyes to money, but everything is in my hand. If you want to take it back, there is no way!"
"This..." The hawker just wanted to stop Chen Yaoshi, but when he swept the gold he left, he found that he had given more money, and his voice immediately lighten. He turned to Dugumu and smiled apologetically. "If the girl really needs the turtle shell, why don't you do this? I have a brother, where he..."
"That's the turtle shell replaced by the Green Turtle King." Dugumu said suddenly and faintly.
The hawker's face was dull in an instant, and the next moment, his people had disappeared in place.
Dr. Chen, who has walked three feet away, suddenly shouted, "What are you doing? You still want to deny what you have sold! Let go of me!"
"Do you still ask me?" The vendor's eyes widened, "This is obviously the turtle shell of the Green Turtle King, but you want to buy it forcibly at a low price. Is it unreasonable? Call it out!"
The hawker stretched out his hand to fish in Chen Yaoshi's sleeve, while Chen Yaoshi protected the tortoise shell and refused to let go.
When the hawker saw that he couldn't grab it, he let go of his voice and shouted, "Come and see. This man wants to repudiate the debt. I am obviously the tortoise shell of the Green Turtle King, but he wants to buy it at the price of ordinary green tortoise shell!"
The hawkers gathered around, surrounded Chen Yaoshi in the middle, and said.
"You are not kind. It's not easy for us to make a little money. How dare you come here."
"That's right, it's easy to get up early and be greedy! It's not easy to get a good thing and be cheated."
"According to the old rules, you don't have to pay the full price. As long as you pay 80% of the price, this turtle shell will belong to you."
Dugumu stood outside the crowd and watched this scene amusedly. In fact, she didn't need the tortoise shell very much, and she didn't plan to buy it at a low price, but she met Pharmacist Chen and wanted to grab something from her, so she had to take it.
The surrounding hawkers have envy and jealousy in their eyes, but what they say is very unified. The reason is that they are inexperienced. It is inevitable that when they look away, they sell good things cheaply and are taken advantage of by others for nothing. After several times, they unified their caliber. As soon as they encountered such a thing, they united to protect their own interests. What if it's their turn? Therefore, no one dares to neglect.
Dr. Chen was surrounded in the middle and was almost breathless. These small vendors seemed to plan to drown him with saliva and won't let him go without an explanation. Chen Yaoshi really wants to say that he doesn't want it. Can't he do it if he doesn't want it? But as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw Dugumu's smiling eyes, and Chen Yaoshi remembered what happened last time. How can she follow her wishes? Even if the price is 20% off, it is still cost-effective.
"I can pay, but I don't have enough money with me. Wait for me..."
When Chen Yaoshi went out this time, he has bought all the things he should buy. How much money is left? Although he is a highly respected alchemist of the Dugu family, his cultivation consumes too much and can't store any gold.
