"Uncle, let's make a bet. If this water tastes good, you can give me some medicinal tea. If it doesn't taste good, I will sell you my tiger scorpion at the lowest price. How about that?" Lin Feng said with a smile. He wanted to give the medicinal tea to his family to taste. Anyway, he had 100% confidence in the spiritual spring water.
The old man's curiosity piqued. If he could drink good water, what would it matter if he gave up some worthless herbs? If his water wasn't tasty, he could buy the tiger scorpion at a lower price. It wouldn't be a loss anyway.
"Okay, I agree. I want to see what's different about your water." After the old man said this, he asked the waiter to light the clay stove on the spot to boil water.
Lin Feng poured water into the clay stove and waited for it to boil. It is better to have hot water for making tea.
"Gulp Gulp"
After the water boiled, the old man took another pot and began to brew tea. As soon as the water entered the teapot, the aroma overflowed and filled his nose. The old man let out a light "hmm" and then put his nose to the mouth of the pot to smell it.
"What a nice smell!" the old man exclaimed.
Lin Feng's face was indifferent. Need I say more? This is fine water made from spiritual spring water.
Even the shop assistant came over.
"Master, this tea smells so good." The boy really wanted to taste it himself.
The old man nodded, then took out four small cups and filled each one up: "Go, send one cup to your mistress."
The waiter hurriedly took a cup and brought it to the back hall.
The old man smiled and said to Lin Feng, "My wife has been bedridden for many years and has difficulty walking."
Lin Feng replied, "It is a beautiful thing for uncle to love his wife. I want to learn from you."
It's not embarrassing at all. The old couple loves each other very much. Whenever they have something good, they think of each other first. Such a family will also be blessed.
"It smells really good!" the old man blurted out after taking a light sip.
The young man was right. His water was much better than his own ice spring water. The taste was hard to describe in words.
It is sweet but not greasy, and after entering the throat, the ethereal feeling goes straight to the internal organs, mobilizing every acupuncture point in the body, making people feel refreshed.
"Good tea!" Lin Feng also took a sip, but he didn't have many feelings. He just felt that it tasted good and his family would like it. That was all, and he didn't feel too surprised.
Anyway, he was already used to the taste of the spiritual spring water. This was only the water his cows drank. If he drank pure spiritual spring water himself, it would taste countless times better than this. But he didn't dare give it to the old man, for fear that he would explode on the spot.
"Master, the mistress wants more to drink!" the waiter ran over and said.
"Oh? Okay, okay." The old man smiled and filled the cup, then asked the waiter to bring in another cup.
But unexpectedly, not long after the waiter delivered the food, he came out again to ask for tea.
"Give away this pot! I still have water here, let's boil another pot." Lin Feng suggested.
The old man smiled and nodded, then handed the pot to the waiter and asked him to take it to the back hall for his wife to drink.
"Young man, can you tell me where this water comes from?" asked the old man.
Lin Feng shook his head: "I'm sorry, we got this water by chance."
The old man was a little disappointed. He could feel that drinking this water year-round would strengthen the body. What a pity.
"Uncle, let's talk business!" Lin Feng said.
The old man nodded and said to Lin Feng, "The quality of these tiger scorpions is fine, but the price varies depending on how long they've been dead. Since I've enjoyed your kindness, I'll give you a break. How about I offer eighty coins for each tiger scorpion? If they're alive, I'll give them two hundred coins each without hesitation."
The old man was afraid that Lin Feng would be unhappy, so he added: "The price in the medicine shop must be higher than this. You know, we open a shop to do business, and business must focus on profit."
"Okay, that's settled. I understand. I can accept this price, and I don't want to go anywhere else."
Lin Feng agreed, and then the old man began to trade with him.
There were eighty tiger scorpions in total, each priced at eighty coins, with a final price of six thousand four hundred coins, which was another huge income.
"I can't spend it all. I can't spend it all at all." Lin Feng smiled in his heart. He had never seen so much money. If it was converted into Lingqian, it would be 640,000 Lingqian. He could buy a lot of good land in the countryside and build a big yard.
Suddenly, he became rich. In the past, in order to avoid paying the entrance fee, he had to take his family around the mountain to pass through the city. Now, thinking about it, it seems like a dream.
"I have spent all my wealth on these tiger scorpions." The old man said with a smile.
After Lin Feng put the money away, he said to the old man, "You can make a lot of money with the tiger scorpion this time. And with the gimmick of the tiger scorpion, your medicine shop's business will be much better than other shops. You won't suffer any loss."
More than just not losing out, it was a huge bargain. This tiger scorpion was hard to come by even with money. Lin Feng believed that it was possible to sell it for double the price. After all, those who really needed it wouldn't bargain with you.
"That's true!" The old man nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Then uncle, what about the medicinal tea you promised to give me? Hehe!" Lin Feng did not forget.
"Hahaha, yours is indispensable."
After he finished speaking, the old man took out a large paper bag from under the counter and said, "These are all for you. I accept the loss of the bet."
Lin Feng took it with a smile. It was a lot, enough to last for a while.
"Where do you live, young man?"
Before leaving, the old man asked Lin Feng.
"My family is waiting for me in the square! Now if you have money, you can stay in an inn. We originally planned to leave the city to go to the prince's fiefdom, but the soldiers guarding the city won't let the common people leave."
Lin Feng poured out the bitterness in his heart.
The old man nodded, he also knew these things.
"Huangsha City is fine during the day, but frost sets in at night. We need to find a warm place to live. So, an old friend of mine has an empty yard. You can move in there. Just pay some rent. As for how long you want to stay, that's up to you."
Lin Feng was delighted when he heard this. This was great. He had been worried about where to find an inn before! Huangsha City was different now. There wasn't always a vacant room in the inn.
"Thank you, uncle!" Lin Feng clasped his fists in thanks.
The old man waved his hand, indicating that you're welcome. He asked his servant to lead the way and took Lin Feng to the gate of a courtyard not far from the drugstore.
After knocking on the door, an old man with gray hair stuck his head out and the pharmacy clerk explained his purpose.
"You want to rent a yard? How many people will live there?"
Lin Feng replied, "There are six people, big and small, two of them are babies, and there is a cow."
"And there are livestock? Then we have to live in a remote place. We can't graze cattle in the nearby yards." The old man said after thinking for a while.
"How remote is it? Is it far from here?" Lin Feng asked him.
