Chapter 432: Relief
"Forget it. Tomorrow... all of you need to disguise yourself and dress neatly. Don't be so lifeless. I have something important that I need your help with."
Chen Zhu waved his hand, and after saying this, it seemed that he had given up hope.
He was just testing their bottom line.
When the old man heard this, he felt relieved, nodded obediently, and trotted away.
Lin Ting was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with this scene: "Didn't they say at the beginning that they would give us some money? Now, they are not giving us anything?"
"That's because they didn't believe we could help. If they don't want to pay, then don't pay. We... need to put on a show." Chen Zhuyi spoke softly and briefly told Lin Ting his plan.
Lin Ting's eyes widened immediately, looking at her in disbelief.
Only she could think of such a bold thing as pretending to be Aretha's friend!
"If your identity is really exposed and you offend their entire family, do you think there will be any good result?" Lin Ting emphasized that this is not just Chen Zhu's problem, but everyone will have to pay the price together!
"If we don't have a place to live, we'll be discovered immediately, and it takes time for them to verify our identity. Phones aren't that convenient these days."
"If we delay for a few more days at most, I believe a ship will arrive, and then we will be able to leave here smoothly."
In the final analysis, Chen Zhuyi's current plan is just a gamble.
Instead of waiting for others to discover their identities and then using them as tools to show their kindness to others, it would be better for them to use these people from the beginning to simply intimidate them.
If you can gain another half a month or even a month, there will be a great chance that you will meet the returning ship!
"Okay, I will cooperate with all your actions unconditionally. I will also inform the others in advance. Just go ahead and do whatever you want."
Lin Ting looked at the certainty flashing in Chen Zhuyi's dark eyes, and understood how helpless her current decision was.
If there were other ways to save themselves, they would not resort to taking advantage of the power of others.
Time passed quickly and soon it was the next day. Chen Zhuyi changed into a long dress, looking very noble, and followed the old man to the medicine shop to buy medicinal herbs.
The people following behind her were also well-trained and looked like the royal guards, causing many people around them to stop and observe carefully, trying to determine their identities.
"We're here today... because we've developed some special medicine that can stop bleeding, and we'd like to make a deal with you. We also have other products, so you can try them."
Chen Zhu spoke bluntly and tapped the table twice with his folding fan. The old man immediately walked over attentively and placed the things on the table with both hands.
He looked completely different from the timid old man who appeared here on the first day. He raised his head slightly, with a sense of confidence that everything was under control.
Such an arrogant look made the shopkeeper feel a little uneasy at the time.
He also privately sent people to investigate the identities of the people in front of him, but he never found any useful clues.
Now, seeing this group of people appearing in front of him with such noble airs, he suddenly felt even more uneasy, and he just suspected that they were some young lady who was traveling incognito.
I heard that people in the Lighthouse Country particularly like to do this, and they call it letting their children exercise outside on their own!
These nobles have weapons and money to back them up, so they can succeed in whatever they want to do. There is really no need for them to compete with these small shopkeepers!
"The things you send are naturally the best. Could it be that... you want to open a drugstore here?" The boss had changed his expression. He took the medicine with an ingratiating smile and sniffed it carefully.
The faint aroma of medicine made his eyes light up immediately. Anyone who could open a pharmacy in such a chaotic place would definitely not be an ignorant person.
The quality of the goods that Chen Zhuyi and his team brought out is top-notch!
Unless a particularly good prescription can be found, it is impossible for ordinary people to come up with such a good medicine!
The prescriptions for top-level hemostatic drugs like this are almost all in the hands of those bigwigs.
Ordinary shop owners like them, let alone having access to the prescription, would not be able to completely solve the mystery even if they tried to decipher it!
"You can actually tell the quality of this thing. Name a price." Chen Zhu nodded perfunctorily, and he did have a rough estimate in his mind.
The boss raised his hand and gestured a number without thinking, which was 20% higher than the market price!
With such a high price, the boss naturally had some selfish motives. He first took out a few small yellow croakers from his drawer and put them on the table as a deposit.
"This batch of medicinal herbs you have is very good. If you need to sell any more medicinal herbs in the future, I hope you can consider me first."
"The price I give you will definitely be higher than the market price. It would be great if we could do business for a long time."
The boss's straightforward and open attitude made Chen Zhuyi nod slightly in appreciation.
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw these small yellow croakers.
Any one of them is enough to buy several of their lives, and it is even higher than the harvest from their previous medicinal herbs!
"If you want to cooperate with us for a long time, this is not enough." Chen Zhuyi covered his lips with his folding fan, smiled softly, and said regretfully: "If I could go back, I would find Aretha to cooperate."
As someone who can control her own family and even become its spokesperson, Aretha herself has a very high reputation among them.
The boss's eyes changed again and again. Anyone who could call Aretha's name so intimately must be of a higher status.
If he could get on board this big ship, he would never have to worry about not being able to sell his things again!
"Then I'm willing to give you 40%. This is the maximum benefit I can give. Any more would be impossible."
The boss gritted his teeth and finally gave a price.
If it weren't for his many years of experience, the old man would probably be overwhelmed by the excitement and fainted!
These small yellow croakers are just the deposit, and the money they will pay later will be no less than that. They can fully take care of their losses and even have enough money left for the next year!
If it weren't for Chen Zhuyi, they would have been sucked dry by those people with the surname Tian, and they would have been willing to do so!
