Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 162 The Unlucky Money Treasurer
The shopkeeper paused: "Later he was ill, and when he recovered, my reputation was not good. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't turn the tide. Fortunately, he ran around for me, otherwise my legs ..."

After listening to him, Xiaoxiao asked, "What price does the shopkeeper plan to sell the shop for?"

Before I heard the answer, I heard a person walking into the shop with a laugh: "Brother Qian, I have some good news for you."

Walking in with the voice was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as the shopkeeper. When he came, his face was flushed, and he said in a confident voice: "I have found a buyer for your shop."

The shopkeeper also became happy: "Really?"

Happy to be happy, he didn't forget to say hello to Xiaoxiao first.

The visitor reported a number excitedly: "150 taels!"

Shopkeeper Qian's face suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, and his tone was quite bitter: "It's only 150 taels? I bought this shop for more than that..."

Xiaoxiao is also very puzzled, although the location of this shop is a little bit out of the way compared to other bookstores, but it is also near the academy, so it is not possible to sell such a small number of books. She originally estimated that the asking price should be at least 300 taels Why did it cut in half at the start?Did she misunderstand the prices in the county so much?
The friend disagreed and said: "It's good to be able to sell these. Now everyone in this street doesn't know your luck. They say that this shop is bad luck, and whoever buys it will be unlucky."

The ancients believed in feng shui, and inexplicable bad luck would indeed make people discouraged. Xiaoxiao listened quietly, seeing that the money shopkeeper was vacillating, the friend became impatient: "This is already the highest price I can find for you. If you don't want to I can't help it, but if it drags on, maybe I won't be able to sell it for 150 taels."

After thinking about it for a while, Shopkeeper Qian still couldn't bear it: "Let me think again, think again."

Then he asked, "What did the Chinese say?"

The friend dodged his eyes for a moment: "What can I say, because of your reputation as an unlucky ghost, who would dare to take over? I am the only one who runs for you every day, but it still doesn't work out well."

Shopkeeper Qian said guiltily, "It's only my fault that my legs and feet are inconvenient, which makes you tired."

Tong Bin, that is, this friend, glanced at Shopkeeper Qian's legs, sighed, took out a jar of ointment from his arms, and bent down to help him apply the medicine: "If you really thank me, don't be stubborn again. My sister-in-law is still sick in bed. If you don't close the business of the shop sooner, why don't you let Jiaoer run on both sides?"

When mentioning his wife and daughter, Shopkeeper Qian felt more and more relaxed. Guilt, worry and gratitude were mixed together. He suddenly didn't understand what he was insisting on: "Okay, then..."

Tong Bin twitched his eyebrows, but he heard a pretty female voice say: "Wait, the shopkeeper is going to sell this shop for 150 taels?"

Shopkeeper Qian turned his head to look at Xiaoxiao who was talking, who was waiting for his answer with a smile.

The shopkeeper said: "Also... there is no other choice." The disappointment could not be concealed in his tone.

But Xiaoxiao said: "Who said, I will pay 200 taels, the shopkeeper might as well sell it to me."

The shopkeeper was puzzled and unsure and asked, "You?"

Tong Bin's expression changed slightly: "Where did the kid come from talking nonsense, 200 taels is not a small amount, can you take it out?"

Ning Dalang also wanted to ask this question.

He knew that his sister had saved some silver these days, but the distance from 200 taels...should be a big gap, right?

Xiaoxiao curled her lips and pulled her elder brother over: "If I can take it out, will you sell this shop to me?"

Tong Bin's hands that applied the medicine to Shopkeeper Qian trembled, and the jar full of ointment rolled to Xiaoxiao's feet. She bent down to pick it up, and was about to hand it back when she heard a ding from the system.

[Discover ingredients sea pepper, ginger, poisonous mushroom...]

Regardless of the latter ones, can sea pepper and ginger be used as medicine in the case of money shopkeeper?And poisonous mushrooms sound wrong, okay?
[Are you sure poisonous mushrooms count as ingredients? 】

The space was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then it answered.

[Anything that can be eaten is counted. Poisonous mushrooms can be eaten, but... if you eat too much, you will die. 】

Xiaoxiao is speechless, very good, the ability to distinguish space is very strong.

Space obviously couldn't perfectly understand the true meaning of the master's irony, and happily told her: [I will be even better when I level up again!At that time, I can also analyze the characteristics and value of the ingredients, including the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials and the toxicity of the poison! 】

【Okay, okay, you are the best! 】

Xiaoxiao glanced at the obvious swelling on Shopkeeper Qian's bandaged calf and the wound still bleeding, and fell into deep thought.

But Tong Bin took the ointment away impatiently, and smeared a layer on Shopkeeper Qian's calf, saying: "Brother Qian, don't be fooled, look at this little girl, don't say 200 taels, I think she even I can't even take out 20 taels!"

Shopkeeper Qian glanced at Xiaoxiao's plain clothes, then looked at Ning Dalang, who was similar to her or even simpler, and said nothing, but it was hard to hide his hesitant expression.

Tong Bin immediately emphasized: "As long as Brother Qian nods, the person I'm looking for will be able to pay the money today. Brother Qian, aren't you in a hurry to sell the shop and go home to accompany your sister-in-law?"

Shopkeeper Qian was really moved, Xiaoxiao said before he was about to speak: "I really can't take out so much money at once, but if Shopkeeper Qian agrees, we can sign a contract, I will pay 50 taels first, and then I will pay 15 taels later. For the first ten months, I will give you at least [-] taels a month, if you can't do it, the shop will return it to you, and you don't have to return the money, how about it?"

It's not that 200 taels can't be paid out, but the operation of the store also requires money, so she can't empty out her family all at once, can she?

No matter whether it is Shopkeeper Qian and Tong Bin, or Ning Dalang next to Xiaoxiao, no one has heard of this kind of game. Shopkeeper Qian made the final calculation in his heart, and asked very puzzled: "How can you do business like this?" ? Are you not at a loss?"

Xiaoxiao was amused by him: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, if I really can't get out the 200 taels, you've made money for nothing, and maybe you can clean up your reputation as an unlucky ghost by the way, isn't that a good thing?"

What she said was reasonable, but the shopkeeper didn't want to take advantage of the children, so Tong Bin sneered directly: "You think this is a child's play house? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

Xiaoxiao sighed, only blamed her for being young, but she really couldn't call her parents over for this matter, except for the eldest brother, who in the whole family could indulge her like this?
She stretched her little hand into the basket containing the chicken cakes, took out a silver ingot, another ingot, and another ingot, then sat down in rows and pushed it to the money shopkeeper: "So the price is here, you Want it?"

She said in a persuasive way: "Even if I can only give so much, you will get 50 taels for nothing in a month, and the shop is still yours. Even if the price of the shop has to be lowered at that time, where can it go? It is reasonable if it is lower than 100 taels." Is it? So you also have a base of 150 taels, no matter what, you don’t lose money, don’t you?”
