Lin Feng packed the money and handed the red wolf skin to Master Liu, and the transaction was completed.
Mr. Liu didn't stay here for long, and Lin Feng also left, leaving the clerk alone in the store cursing.
However, it was also his fault for his foul mouth. If he had bought furs from Lin Feng and resold them, he would have made a lot of money today. But now, Mr. Liu didn't make the purchase, didn't receive the furs from Lin Feng, and even made the two of them reach a deal privately. Isn't this damnable?
Lin Feng didn't care whether he was happy or not. He took the thousand coins and went to another fur store to buy warm clothes for his family.
The family had to walk to the icy wasteland outside Huangsha City. There was no other way.
But then the question arose: how could one leave the city? The guard had also said that entry into Huangsha City was now restricted, and it seemed Prince Yu was trying to blackmail the people and confront the Imperial Military Department.
It seems that Mr. Liu was able to leave the city because he had connections. How can we reason with him? Powerful people still enjoy privileges when facing the same crisis.
We came across another fur shop. The owner was very polite and did not judge people by appearance. Lin Feng did not want those high-quality furs. These furs were mostly the same. They were patchwork or mixed colors. As long as they could keep warm, they were fine. He spent 800 yuan and each family member, big or small, had one piece.
It is not enough to have fur clothes, you also need to buy some casual clothes and throw away these tattered clothes.
They went to another ready-made clothing store. Lin Feng didn't know how to be picky, so he just told the clerk a rough idea of his family's height, weight and body shape, and the clerk prepared everything for him.
Following the clerk's instructions, Lin Feng came to the drugstore carrying large and small bags. The purpose of his trip was to sell the corpse of a tiger scorpion.
There was an old man and a clerk in the store. The old man was treating someone and the clerk was grabbing medicine at the counter.
"Are you feeling unwell?" the waiter asked when he saw Lin Feng coming in carrying a lot of bags.
Lin Feng smiled and asked, "I just want to buy a tiger scorpion. What's the approximate price?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Lin Feng, "We don't have this tiger scorpion in our shop."
"Are tiger scorpions rare in the world?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
The guy nodded and said, "It's rare now. It's hard to catch. It's becoming less and less common."
"Oh! Then may I ask, how much can a tiger scorpion sell for?" The most important thing for Lin Feng was to find out the market price.
"It's different. The living ones are two hundred, and the ones that have been dead for one day are half of that. The ones that have been dead for two days are another one. The lowest price is sixty cents per piece." The clerk said this patiently and continued to work.
Are tiger scorpions so valuable? Lin Feng was shocked. Before in the desert, the merchant told him that one could only be sold for five coins. This price had already surprised him. He didn't expect the price in this medicine shop to be even higher.
Now that he knew the market conditions, Lin Feng stopped pretending: "Let me apologize to you first. Actually, I am here to sell tiger scorpions. I said that before because I didn't understand the market conditions. I apologize for any offense." After saying that, Lin Feng clasped his fists towards the clerk.
Before the guy could react, the old man who was treating the patient suddenly stood up and came to Lin Feng.
"Boy, do you have tiger scorpions for sale? Let me see them." The old man looked excited. Now that his pharmacy has tiger scorpions for medicinal use, it can be sold at a good price.
Although tiger scorpions are extremely poisonous and are considered a medicine for tigers and wolves, they can also become a life-saving medicine if used in the right dosage.
Lin Feng smiled and put down the package he was carrying. Then he took out the corpse of a tiger scorpion from a small cloth bag and handed it to the old man.
The old man took it and looked at it. The tiger scorpion did not look small, and there was no damage on its body. The cause of death was a head impact.
The most important thing is to look at its tail. What surprised the old man was that the tiger scorpion's tail was intact.
You know, when a tiger scorpion encounters danger, it will use its tail to release poison first. However, the sharp sting on its tail obviously did not show any signs of releasing poison, so its death was a bit strange!
"Anything else?" the old man asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded and opened the cloth bag.
"So many?" The old man was stunned. There must be nearly a hundred of them, right? Did they raid the tiger scorpion's lair?
The old man took them out one by one to check, and found that all the tiger scorpions died from the same cause, all due to head collisions.
What triggered these tiger scorpions? Are they so depressed that they want to commit suicide?
"Uncle, is this tiger scorpion okay?" Lin Feng asked. He didn't have much time to waste as his family was still waiting in the square.
The old man nodded and said, "The tiger scorpions died at different times. Some died a few days ago, and some died yesterday. The prices are also different. What you just heard is the price the pharmacy sells. We also need to make a profit, so we can't buy at the selling price."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
The old man looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, then asked, "Do you have anything on you that can attract tiger scorpions?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No, I just picked it up by chance."
Seeing that he was not telling the truth, the old man stopped asking.
He suddenly remembered that a businessman came the day before yesterday and sent them invitations to the restaurant to discuss business. The gimmick at that time was that there were tiger scorpions for sale. It seemed that this person had some connection with that group of people. He didn't take it seriously at the time because he had a lot of things to do. He didn't expect it to be true. If he had known earlier, he would have gone there anyway. You know, tiger scorpions that can be used as medicine are not easy to find.
"Then give me a price! I won't look for anyone else."
Lin Feng's meaning was very clear. If you deceived him, he would have to go to another pharmacy to sell tiger scorpions.
The old man said, "Then please sit down and wait. I will talk to you after I finish seeing this patient."
Lin Feng: "I can't wait too long."
The old man nodded and went to prescribe medicine for the patient.
Sure enough, the old man sent the patient away in a short while.
The waiter poured Lin Feng a cup of hot tea. Lin Feng took a sip and asked, "What kind of tea is this? It tastes quite fragrant."
"This is a health-preserving medicinal tea I made myself. It can improve eyesight and replenish energy." The old man said this with some pride. Everyone who has tasted this tea says it is good.
"Oh! It's really good, but the water is not good. If the water is good, the tea will be more fragrant." Lin Feng said with a smile.
When someone criticized the old man, he immediately became unhappy. You can say that he is ugly, but you cannot say that his craftsmanship is bad.
"This water comes from an ice spring outside the city. It took a lot of effort to collect it," said the old man.
"I don't mean anything else. I just brought some water here for you to take a bath in." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he handed him the water bag around his waist.
The water in this water bag is used to feed cows. The concentration of the spiritual spring water is low, and we are also afraid that Xiao Hei will burst if fed.
The old man looked at the dirty mouth of the water bag with a look of disgust on his face. He didn't even know how to clean it, so the water was not much better.
It's not Lin Feng's fault. This water bag is specially used by Xiao Hei. He doesn't care about hygiene anyway, and Lin Feng doesn't mind it being dirty. The man and the cow often drink from it together.
