Zhao Bin was a connoisseur of the medicine. He only needed to glance at the herbs Tao Xiaoxi brought to know that the medicine was good. He took it in his hand, looked at it, smelled it, and asked the price directly.
"To be honest, this is my first time doing business. I don't know the market and haven't done any research. I just saw that your store is big and the owner and the employees are all decent and honest people, so just name a price and I won't bargain."
Tao Xiaoxi's words made the waiter blush and leave. Boss Zhao Bin smiled but said nothing. He looked at the medicine for a while and finally said, "Since you trust me so much, I'll name a price. If you don't think it's suitable, we can discuss it."
"No bargaining, whatever you say is fine." Tao Xiaoxi said with his eyes closed.
Zhao Bin knew he'd met his match. There were usually two types of people who made such advances: those who were bluffing and trying to overpower others, and those who were genuine and willing to sell at a reasonable price. Tao Xiaoxi's medicine was exactly what he desperately needed, and she possessed a dignified and honest demeanor, so he couldn't offer a good price.
If the price is too low, the other party will sell it to someone else. If the price is too high, he will not make much profit. So he quoted a compromise price.
"Okay!" Tao Xiaoxi agreed without any bargaining.
Although it was expected, Zhao Bin was still quite surprised. He had never seen such a straightforward and decisive woman. She seemed like she came from the outside world.
After receiving the medicine, the buyer and seller introduced each other and officially met.
"When can it be delivered next time?" Zhao Bin asked.
"These medicines should be enough for you to sell for a while, right?" Tao Xiaoxi looked at Fenglai County, which was not very big, and wondered how there could be so many rich people there, so she asked tentatively.
She knew this batch of medicinal materials very well. No matter what price Zhao Bin bought them at, he would definitely sell them at a high price. However, how many people in Fenglai County could afford this price unless he had other channels.
"Don't worry about that. I'll take whatever you have." Zhao Bin said confidently.
Tao Xiaoxi's ventriloquism: I'm afraid you'll lose everything! She hasn't even explored the entire dimension of hers.
The first transaction seemed to go more smoothly than expected. If she hadn't met Yao Youhua, her experience of going to the city would have been perfect. When she thought about Li Nanshan marrying that scumbag, she felt like she had swallowed a fly and felt nauseous.
She decided to commemorate her love that ended before it even began.
"Come on, Beibei, let's go eat something delicious." Tao Xiaoxi decided to go to a restaurant.
As soon as she finished speaking, Beibei hooked her little finger and said, "Mom, save the money."
"What?" Tao Xiaoxi was so surprised that she spoke in her hometown accent.
"Beibei is not hungry. Save the money." Beibei looked at her mother, afraid that she would spend it all again.
Tao Xiaoxi squatted down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She touched Beibei's forehead and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I won't spend it all."
"Mom, let's go home." Beibei still seemed a little worried.
"We should buy some flour and dry food. We have no rice or flour left at home." Tao Xiaoxi and Beibei discussed.
Beibei thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay!"
Tao Xiaoxi smiled like a flower, but she didn't expect to be controlled by a five-year-old kid.
This time, Beibei watched closely and felt that her mother was going to buy something irrelevant, so the girl pulled her fingers, causing Tao Xiaoxi to put back the hair oil and the melon seeds she had picked up.
"Beibei, pick one and I'll buy it for you." Tao Xiaoxi said.
But Beibei shook her head, saying she wanted nothing. She was both impressed and ashamed that he had such great concentration at such a young age.
"Then let's go home." Tao Xiaoxi said. When paying, she secretly slipped two hairpins into the salesperson's hands and said, "Pay together."
After thinking about it, I decided to put myself in a difficult position for now. After all, Beibei is so sensible.
On the way back, Tao Xiaoxi once again felt that she shouldn't let herself be wronged. She should go shopping to justify the distance she had walked today.
When I finally returned to the village, it was already evening. A figure was sitting under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, and the setting sun stretched her shadow very long.
Tao Xiaoxi thought that the scene was very artistic and beautiful. Just as she was about to express her feelings, she found that the person was Beibei's grandmother, Grandma Sun, and one of her shoes was no longer on her foot.
Tao Xiaoxi instantly felt that the picture was not beautiful and lacked artistic conception.
"Where are your shoes?" Tao Xiaoxi asked.
"Hehehe." She responded with a silly laugh.
"Where are the shoes?" Tao Xiaoxi raised her voice a little higher. She looked around but didn't see them.
Mrs. Sun didn't answer and pulled Beibei to go home.
The grandmother and granddaughter walked hand in hand in the afterglow of the setting sun. The figures of one tall and one short made the setting sun look a bit more human.
Tao Xiaoxi had no time to appreciate it. If she couldn't find the shoe, she would have to buy a new pair. She didn't want to spend the money she saved on Mrs. Sun. She was unwilling to do that.
"What are you looking for?" Liang Hengsheng passed by and saw Tao Xiaoxi bending down and groping carefully on the ground.
"Shoes, have you ever seen a pair of shoes? Black cloth shoes."
"No, yours?"
"It's not mine, it's Grandma Beibei's."
"Then I guess I can't find it again, so let's make another pair."
"That's easy to say, but it doesn't cost money." Tao Xiaoxi muttered.
As it got dark, Tao Xiaoxi became more anxious in his search.
Liang Hengsheng followed silently and searched together.
This scene happened to be seen by the pockmarked girl passing by. This time, as if she had caught evidence, she rushed to Liang Hengsheng and asked him angrily, "Didn't you say that you had nothing to do with her?"
Liang Hengsheng was stunned. "It's nothing."
"You call this nothing? It's pitch black. What are you two doing? You wish it would get dark sooner and never get light, right?"
"I, I didn't!" Liang Hengsheng felt that he was being scolded for no reason, but he also felt as if he owed the pockmarked girl something.
"Ah, found it!" Finally, before nightfall, Tao Xiaoxi found the shoe in the crevice of the stone, and then went back without saying goodbye to anyone, as if the other two people had nothing to do with her at all.
"She's looking for shoes?" the pockmarked girl asked awkwardly.
"Yes, they're her mother-in-law's shoes." Liang Hengsheng said innocently.
"Well, it's getting dark, let's go back." The pockmarked girl looked around and talked about something else, then ran away.
Liu Liang Hengsheng was alone there. What was he going to do? Oh, right, he was going to visit a family.
There was a kid in his class who didn't come to class today. The students said that the kid was taken to the brick factory by his parents to move bricks, so he had to do some ideological work on the parents.
Tao Xiaoxi returned home and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. The village almost started rumors about her again. She was really a target of bad reputation.
But after this incident, she felt even more guilty. Although the pockmarked girl was a little ugly, she seemed to really like Liang Hengsheng and treated him well. She really shouldn't have said those words at the beginning. She didn't know whether Liang Hengsheng had his own reasons for rejecting this girl.
I dare not think about this too much, I can’t think about it too much.
