Hongxiangfang!
In the "Mountain City", there is another hidden market besides the Yuelai Inn, and compared to the hidden market in the underground of the Yuelai Inn, where everyone can set up stalls as long as they pay, the hidden market in Hongxiangfang sells The only winner is Hongxiangfang itself, and the people who enter it are the guests of Hongxiangfang.
Of course, it is not impossible to sell.
But the only target of sale is Hongxiangfang.
And doing so did not make Hongxiangfang lose customer flow.
On the contrary, the business of Hongxiangfang is better than Yuelai Inn.
Not only the quality of the items sold can be guaranteed, but also the price is relatively transparent, there is no time to sit on the ground and raise the price.
Therefore, many Jianghu people, if they come to the 'mountain city' and choose the hidden market, the first choice is Hongxiangfang. Only when there is no agreement with Hongxiangfang, they will choose Yuelai Inn as the next best thing.
Naturally, the relatively transparent price will still be slightly higher than the market price.
However, most Jianghu people don't care.
Recalling the information about Hongxiangfang that he inquired from Li Deshang, Jason did not raise his hand to accept the so-called 'small gift' from the other party.
Although relying on a special method to seal the smell of the 'secret medicine' itself, at such a close distance, Jason could already smell a hint of the sweetness of 'food'.
His sense of smell has assured him that what is contained in this palm-sized box is the 'secret medicine'.
Moreover, the grade is quite high.
Beyond the 'Tiger Blood Strong Yuan San', it is already close to the 'Shenchan Pill'.
The market price of a ginseng pill is about 2500-3500 oceans.
This price is almost a month's income in this martial arts gym.
You must know that this is the income after he won the martial arts competition and became famous.
Before?
Not even one quarter is enough.
More importantly,
Secret medicines like 'Shenchan Wan' are basically priceless.
Its price is much higher than the market price.
Unless something special happens, such a secret medicine will not be sold at all.
All will keep it for themselves.
Even if you don't need it anymore, you will leave it to your descendants and family members.
However, Hongxiangfang came up with a similar level of secret medicine in one visit.
Will it be a simple visit?
Jason didn't believe it.
There is no time for pie in the sky.
Jason knew this when he was in the 'hometown', and he was taught a lesson when he arrived in the 'city that never sleeps'.
Even the owner of Hongxiangfang in front of him seems very friendly.
You must know that the old lady who invited him to eat bread in the 'City That Never Sleeps' was even friendlier than the owner in front of her, with a kind face, and her words would make people feel calm.
But what happened?
The bread was drugged.
If you eat it, you will faint.
Then?
People would have their throats cut and bled, and sold as mince pies.
Thankfully, he survived, and the 'old man' felt in time that his life was saved.
But Jason couldn't guarantee that he would be so lucky every time.
So, Jason gave up again.
"No merit, no reward."
Jason said.
"Master Mu is too polite, you and I are in Wuguan Street, just some small gifts."
The owner of Hongxiangfang laughed.
It seemed that it was just like what he said, just some small gifts.
In this regard, Jason did not point out, but just looked at the boss indifferently.
After three full seconds, the old boss seemed to understand Jason's thoughts, and put away the palm-sized box, without any irritation on his face, still smiling.
"Master Mu is really high-spirited, I admire you."
"Can this old man ask for a cup of tea?"
asked the old boss.
"Can."
Jason said succinctly.
In the bottom of his heart, Jason had already guessed what the other party wanted to do.
win over!
The purpose of the other party coming here is to win him over.
The so-called "little courtesy" is to throw stones and ask for directions.
After being rejected, you still have to ask for tea, which shows that the other party is determined to win.
"It seems that I still miscalculated the influence of a 'Bone Forging' Dacheng warrior on 'Mountain City'. '
'Do not! '
'I even revealed that I am a'natural power'! '
‘Perhaps the owner of Hongxiangfang is guessing whether I can fight against the warriors who entered the ‘skin training’. '
After the Martial Arts Street competition ended, Jason unintentionally revealed that he had already achieved a great deal of 'bone forging'.
This was his original plan, to show his strength bit by bit.
Don't be obtrusive.
However, he still somewhat underestimated the influence of 'bone forging' Dacheng + 'natural power'.
However, this did not prevent him from turning around and leading the owner of Hongxiangfang towards the hall in the front yard.
The eyes of everyone in the martial arts training ground in the front yard could not help but fall on the owner of Hongxiangfang.
Those who can come to Wuguan Street to learn martial arts, except for a few, are from well-to-do families, otherwise they would not be able to afford the tuition fee of 10 yuan a month. Naturally, they are no strangers to the owner of Hongxiangfang.
Similarly, I also know what kind of business Hongxiangfang is doing in private.
‘What is the owner of Hongxiangfang looking for? '
'Could it be that Hongxiangfang wants to cooperate with the owner? '
Such a guess emerged from the bottom of everyone's heart.
Only Jia You was different.
There was worry in Jia Youcai's eyes.
When the "Rebirth Cult" attacked the city, Hongxiangfang went out of business.
When all the dust settled and the situation became clear, Hongxiangfang reopened.
Maybe it's just that Hongxiangfang is well-informed.
But such a well-informed person still made Jia Youcai feel uneasy.
because……
There is no news from Li Deshang.
It’s not that Hongxiangfang didn’t inform Li Deshang, Jia Youcai wouldn’t be so naive, he knew that a power like Hongxiangfang is king if it’s from both sides, and it’s impossible to really get involved with Li Deshang, a “one of the chief officials” Note.
Maybe it will be good.
But everyone who deserves to befriend, they will befriend.
Yes, there are degrees of severity.
For example, Master Mu in front of him.
Jia Youcai can guess that as long as the owner of Hongxiangfang understands the current situation in 'Mountain City', he will definitely try his best to please Master Mu.
It is obvious what kind of influence a martial artist who has achieved great success in 'Bone Forging' will have in 'Mountain City'.
However, this is not what Jia Youcai is worried about.
What really worries Jia Youcai is that Hongxiangfang's attitude will affect Lord Mu after some flattery.
This is not impossible.
One party gave benefits one after another without any effort at all.
One side has no successor and needs to be firmly relied on.
Everyone will choose the former.
It just so happens that Li Deshang is the latter.
In the seemingly stable 'Mountain City', Li Deshang needs to rely on this Master Mu too much. Once Master Mu's attitude changes, the situation in front of him will be overturned directly.
Li Deshang will be smashed to pieces.
And him?
The end is not much better.
'hope……'
"Jia Youcai!"
Jia Youcai was still thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard Doubao shouting from the kitchen in the distance.
"Sister Doubao, what's wrong?"
Jia Youcai immediately ran towards the kitchen.
"I can't leave while I'm cooking. The owner of the restaurant asked you to send the tea to the front hall and serve you with you."
Doubao said as he handed Jia Youcai a tray with teapots, teacups, and dried fruits.
Jia Youcai was taken aback.
Then, the catcher laughed.
"Come on."
"This, good at it."
As he spoke, Jia Youcai walked towards the hall with the tray in his hand.
Worries just now?
Already disappeared.
That Master Mu had already expressed his attitude and would not change it, otherwise, he would not be asked to make tea and pour water at this time, saying that he was serving him, but in essence, isn't this just showing his attitude?
'As expected of Master Mu. '
'Only someone like Master Mu can practice kung fu to this extent at this age. '
'And a guy like me? '
'Too much thought. '
With both admiration and exclamation in his heart, Jia Youcai entered the front hall.
Jason and the owner of Hongxiangfang sat on the left and right.
The entourage of Hongxiangfang stood behind his boss, and Jia Youcai, who was dressed in shorts, placed the dried fruit and made tea, then stood behind Jason with a low eyebrow.
"Is Butou Jia safe and sound?"
The old boss smiled and cupped his hands, but didn't stand up.
"TOEFL, TOEFL."
Jia Youcai responded with a smile.
"same."
The old boss smiled and cupped his hands again, then turned his head to look at Jason, and said in a gentle voice: "I heard that Master Mu is not broken but not built, and it was a blessing in disguise, but he 'forged bones' to achieve great success. Such a talent is really admirable. "
"It's all thanks to Brother Gou Sheng's spare no effort to help."
"Otherwise, Mubai would have died long ago."
Jason responded politely.
And it clearly pointed out Li Deshang's role.
Jason is very satisfied with Li Deshang as a collaborator, not only because of Li Deshang's honesty, but also because of Li Deshang's innocence.
In Jia Youcai’s words, ‘Your Excellency is a good man, but he is stupid in reading. '
Jason didn't dislike such innocence.
Of course, he doesn't like reading books and reading stupid reviews.
He prefers to call it "book business spirit".
"Master Li, I have always admired you."
The old owner of Hongxiangfang is already a genius, why can't he understand Jason's hints one after another.
Jia Youcai's appearance here, coupled with Jason's words, is enough to explain everything.
Then, the old owner of Hongxiangfang smiled and took a sip from his teacup.
"Nice jasmine, very fragrant."
"It would be nice if you put two rock candies."
"It's best to add a piece of tangerine peel."
The old boss said, and took another sip.
As if moistening his throat, the other party continued.
"Rock sugar makes the tea taste better and easier to drink, while tangerine peel has the effect of regulating qi, invigorating the spleen, drying dampness and reducing phlegm. Drinking it together with tea really complements each other."
"But it happens to be positive, too much sugar is greasy, too much tea is bitter, and the same is true for tangerine peel."
"Tea is like this, and so are people."
"The 'mountain city' is small compared to the state capital, but it is huge compared to the villages under its jurisdiction. When one person manages it, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions."
With that said, the old club paused and looked at Jason calmly.
He had said enough.
If it continues, it will be too straightforward. If the owner Mu in front of him rejects him, he will really be unable to step down.
'The other party is not only trying to win over, but also interceding for the wealthy households in the'Mountain City'. '
'And, the best thing is to let one of our own join Li Deshang's staff. '
Jason guessed what the old club meant in an instant.
Although Jia Youcai on the side didn't understand the front, he did understand the back.
The other party came to plead for mercy!
In fact, since the homes of several wealthy households in 'Mountain City' were ransacked, many people have come to intercede.
However, Li Deshang didn't see them all behind closed doors.
Now someone has come to Mubai...
'hiss! '
'It's not easy. '
Jia Youcai took a deep breath in his heart. He knew very well that the rich family members must have paid a high price to win the old owner of Hongxiangfang, which was enough to make the old owner fall in love.
Of course, it's more likely that...
Hard to say no!
What is hard to say no to?
It's just that someone has spoken, and the old club must agree to it.
After all, Hongxiangfang is not just a 'Mountain City' family.
There are also state capitals!
‘Will it be someone from the state capital? '
Jia Youcai guessed, but on the surface he remained silent.
It was already a great grace for him to be able to stand here.
If you speak casually, you will only be shameless and make it difficult for Master Mu.
If he did that, Jia Youcai would even look down on him.
"It depends on the ability, I believe in Brother Gou Sheng."
Jason said lightly, picked up his teacup and drank it down.
In the tea, he will put rock sugar, tangerine peel and so on.
Because, it's delicious.
Simply delicious.
Nothing else.
At most, add another thirst quencher.
As for more?
there is none left.
Jason never intervenes in things that he is not good at, let alone intervene in other people's decisions, affecting other people's plans-people depend on themselves.
He approves of this sentence.
But what is more recognized is that people must have self-knowledge.
He has his own ideas.
Li Deshang has Li Deshang's ideas.
The two are cooperating very well now, but it doesn't mean that he will replace Li Deshang in making decisions.
So-called persuasion?
joke.
That was really a false and hypocritical excuse. With Li Deshang's current situation, if he spoke, Li Deshang would agree whether he wanted to or not.
The old club felt this attitude.
"Master Mu is really admirable."
"This makes me want to cooperate with Master Mu even more."
"This time it is Hongxiangfang's own business. Although the 'Mountain City' is peaceful, it is inevitable that there will be thieves running around. I hope to cooperate with Mu Guanzhu. If there is something wrong with Hongxiangfang, Mu Guanzhu will not hesitate to help-of course, Every month, Hongxiangfang will provide three 'Peiyuan Pills' to Master Mu, and if something happens, Master Mu will give it for another reward."
After the old club clarified Jason's attitude, he immediately kept silent about the previous matter and turned it into an invitation.
In the 'Mountain City', if you are successful in martial arts, you can not only open a martial arts gym, but also become a merchant's guest, nurse, and some will join the bodyguard bureau.
However, 'Mountain City' does not have an escort agency.
Moreover, most of the martial arts practitioners in the 'Mountain City' came to Wuguan Street.
Because most of the merchants are more willing to be affiliated with the martial arts school.
This is also the reason why people from wealthy families are willing to learn martial arts, not only to strengthen themselves, but also because they can have an extra bond with the martial arts school.
"it is good."
Jason nodded in agreement.
As for things like Ke Qing, Doubao said that he knew about it.
Three 'Peiyuan Pills' per month is not bad, after all, it's just a case of not selling, if selling, it will be another price.
"Master Mu is really quick to speak."
"I'll have the documents delivered in a while."
"There is also this year's 'Month Blessing'."
The old owner of Hongxiangfang said with a smile.
A year's 'Month Blessing'?
Jason glanced at his old club in surprise.
Not to mention anything else, this kind of generosity alone is enough to win anyone's favor.
Jason was surprised, while Jia Youcai was shocked.
A grain of 'Peiyuan Pill' is worth a hundred oceans.
Twelve months a year, that is thirty-six capsules.
That's 3,600 yuan!
I have to behave!
How much is this!
I can't earn it all my life, right? !
After Jia Youcai made a simple calculation, his eyelids twitched and his brain started to shut down.
But the old club stood up.
The matter is settled, and the old club is going to make arrangements.
As for increasing friendship?
Since Mubai agreed to become the guest minister of Hongxiangfang'Mountain City', there are plenty of opportunities.
However, just as his old club was about to leave, Jason suddenly spoke——
"and many more!"
