Chapter 24 Nonsense

Qin Chi looked at Shopkeeper Tao with complicated eyes, "You have done a good job in this bookstore. Keep working hard in the future."

Shopkeeper Tao was stunned.

Why doesn't this sound like a word of praise?

He is the manager of a big trading company, and you want him to be the owner of a bookstore in a small county?

I won’t do that!

"Sir, did I do something wrong? Shouldn't I cooperate with them? But this is a no-cost business. Just find someone to sell medicinal herbs and you can easily make a lot of money."

Shopkeeper Tao felt it was worth doing no matter how he thought about it.

"There's nothing wrong with picking it out separately." Qin Chi sighed inwardly.

But did they want to cooperate with others in this way from the beginning? They are maximizing their profits. When will the market price return to normal?

Qin Chi's expression became more complicated. "Uncle Tao, what do you think I do when I buy medicinal herbs?"

"Send it to the northwest..."

Instantly, Shopkeeper Tao came back to his senses, and then stared at the contract, "Sir, what should we do?"

These herbs were sent to the Northwest Army, so how could they set any price? Jifang Pharmacy would not suffer any loss.

Qin Chi learned about their negotiation process from Shopkeeper Tao. Recalling that this was the decision made after Xing Lun asked Song Jin, he guessed without hesitation that it was related to Song Jin.

Qin Chi felt a little admiration in his heart.

When Song Jin heard the news about her family, her emotions must have been a little unstable. However, under such circumstances, she was able to make a decision that was beneficial to herself, which is something that an ordinary woman could not do.

In particular, although they guessed that they had a strong background, they did not take the initiative to please them or make concessions, and then come up with a form of cooperation that both parties could accept.

This is quite extraordinary in the business world.

Very experienced!

As expected, he was taught by a century-old Huizhou merchant family.

"This cooperation cannot last long. We need to think of a way to sell the herbs to those drug dealers at a high price, make some quick money and then stop."

Qin Chi put the contract down and said calmly and without question: "Tell Jifang that we will only cooperate with them for one month. After one month, we will buy them at the original market price."

"yes!"

Shopkeeper Tao instinctively responded respectfully.

Qin Chi straightened his sleeves and walked out of the bookstore slowly.

From the moment he stepped out of the inner room, his aura was instantly restrained, and the further he walked outside, the calmer his aura became.

Gradually, they became more like the people who came outside to buy books.

Some of the scrolls look weak and pale, like frail scholars who have been reading for a long time without seeing the sun, or they could be young men who have been sick for many years.

When Song Jin finished his work, he came out of the pharmacy wearing a veil.

She came in the morning in Old Li's car and made an appointment with him to pick her up in the afternoon.

Walked to the alley where I had agreed to meet Old Li.

The mule cart had already been parked there.

Old Li was standing aside, leading the mule, looking reserved.

To Song Jin's surprise, he unexpectedly saw Qin Chi on the mule cart.

He was sitting leisurely, resting with his eyes closed.

It was obvious that he had been sitting there for a while.

"Husband?"

Song Jin walked quickly towards the mule cart and exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Chi slowly opened his eyes.

There was a gentle smile in those clear eyes.

Although it was shallow, it was enough to show that he was in a good mood.

"Come up."

Qin Chi stretched out his big, bony hand towards Song Jin.

Song Jin naturally placed his hand in his palm.

When Qin Chi held the jade-white hand, he immediately noticed something different. Her palm was slightly red, and there were blisters on the palm. It was obvious that she was working in the pharmacy.

In addition, when she approached, Qin Chi smelled the smell of fireworks.

Song Jin used the strength of his hand to get into the car.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar.

There was not the slightest hint of shyness or embarrassment.

It was not the reaction a woman should have when seeing her lover, nor was it the shyness that Song Jin should have as a girl. It had been thrown into some corner in her previous life.

Get on the mule cart easily.

The two of them sat on either side, keeping a polite distance.

To exaggerate a little, it looks like there is a big river separating the two.

On East Street, people are coming and going. In addition to the shops on both sides, there are also some small vendors hawking their wares nearby.

Mule carts swayed slowly through the place, giving it a full flavor of everyday life.

Qin Chi's eyes swept across the back of Song Jin's hand a few times. There were two scratches on it that looked like red lines. "Madam, there is a sweet smell on you. Is it the smell of medicine?"

"Oh, I found a job in a drug store."

Song Jin thought that she would have to go out more often in the future, so she simply made up a suitable excuse, "I get 500 coins a month. When I get my salary, I will definitely buy delicious food for my husband."

“That’s really exciting.”

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Qin Chi raised a faint smile.

It was as if he was really looking forward to it, just because his wife said she would make money for him to buy food?

No, someone told a lie in a serious manner and pleased him.

Song Jin didn't want to continue this topic, so he looked around and said, "Shouldn't my husband go to the academy today? Why is he here at this time?"

"I just moved and I'm not used to sleeping."

Qin Chi pretended to be sleepy when he said this, "I wanted to come to the East Street Bookstore to buy some pens and ink, but I forgot to bring enough money. When I came back, I happened to see Uncle Li waiting here, so I got a ride from him."

"hehe."

Song Jin wanted to say that you were talking nonsense.

Before you start talking nonsense, could you please tighten your purse? Is that bulging stuff full of copper coins? "My lady, did you get up early today?"

It was Qin Chi's turn to change the subject, but in truth his lies were not very clever.

Song Jin sat up straight.

"Yes, you should find a job early. You can't just sit at home and eat up all your savings. I will make money while my husband studies, and we can live happily together. Isn't that great?"

"It's quite good."

Qin Chi smiled softly.

The laughter was clear and joyful, like a mountain stream, extremely pleasant to hear.

So the two of them chatted with each other.

You talk yours, I talk mine.

Not a single word of what he said was true, but he spoke it in an extremely honest and serious manner, and outsiders would definitely not doubt it if they heard it.

If the two of them were not so far away in the mule cart, Old Li would almost believe it!

His son is a remarkable man, and the woman he married is also a wonderful person.

Others may not know, but he found out this morning that these two people are husband and wife on the surface, but they sleep in separate rooms.

Almost at the doorstep.

The two people who got along well with each other suddenly changed their expressions when they saw the carriage at the door.

Boss Qin was standing outside the car, and Li was sitting inside, looking like they were waiting for them to come back.

Song Jin and Qin Chi looked at each other and hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward.

"How come mom and dad have time to come here?"

Qin Chi didn't expect that Boss Qin sent them here yesterday, and brought Li here today.

Boss Qin smiled innocently, "Your mother is worried and said she wants to come and take a look."

"Haha, mom still loves me."

Qin Chi winked at Song Jin without leaving any trace, "Madam, come and help me get off the carriage."

"I can do it myself."

Li pretended to go down himself.

Song Jin understood what he meant and went forward to help the man respectfully. "Please go slowly and show your filial piety to us."

Qin Chi took the opportunity to enter the house.

He quickly went to the west wing and wanted to move his bedding to the east wing.

Just as he was halfway out the door, he was bumped into by Li who came in!
