Chapter 37 Shipping
After resting for a day at the inn, Li Banfeng and Xiao Pang hired a carriage and set off.
Li Banfeng thought Qin Xiaopang would take him to a very special place.
But in fact, the place Qin Xiaopang took him to was Ligou.
Standing on the street, Qin Xiaopang warned: "Brother, that man is too cunning. Don't listen to him pouring out his sorrows or talking about his difficulties. You have to have a price in your heart. If the price is lower than this, you will never sell!"
Li Banfeng has a psychological expectation of price.
His bottom line is one thousand yuan a piece, and he cannot sell it below this price.
The reason is simple. If a good thing worth 10,000 yuan cannot be sold for even 1,000 yuan, Li Banfeng might as well take the elixir himself. Anyway, he is not short of travel expenses.
He still remembered the salesman's instructions that practitioners should not miss practice every day.
If you encounter special circumstances in the future and cannot go out, or you cannot go home and take it with you, having a Snake Spot Pill can make up for a day's practice.
If the famous sprinter Qiao Yuesheng had enough Snakehead Pills, his death would not have been so miserable.
Having made up his mind, Li Banfeng asked Qin Xiaopang, "Aren't you going with me?"
Qin Xiaopang shook his head and said: "I'm not in a hurry to sell the elixir. I'm not willing to sell such a good elixir cheaply.
I originally wanted to negotiate the price with you, but last time I went to buy weapons from him, I was a little impatient and somewhat offended, so I won't cause trouble for you this time.
When you finish your business, I'll wait for you at the bun shop at the corner of the street. "
It was said mysteriously, but in the end, the place Xiaopang found was Feng Ji's grocery store.
But having said that, without Xiaopang's guidance, Li Banfeng would never have imagined that the grocery store would still accept pills.
Entering the shop, shopkeeper Feng greeted him with a smile: "Boss Li, you are back. How was your business success?"
Li Banfeng smiled and said: "The harvest is not bad, I am looking for you to ship the goods."
Shopkeeper Feng was startled: "Boss Li, we don't accept snakeweed. I don't have any recipe for making elixirs."
"It's not Serpenta, let's find a place to talk."
Shopkeeper Feng invited Li Banfeng into the back room, and Li Banfeng first took out 1,300 yuan.
"Five hundred for sickles and eight hundred for shovels. Pay the debt first!"
Shopkeeper Feng accepted the money with a smile: "Boss Li is very generous! I wonder what kind of goods Boss Li wants to sell to me?"
Li Banfeng took out a snake-spotted pill and handed it to Shopkeeper Feng.
Shopkeeper Feng took the elixir, put on his reading glasses, looked at it for a long time, nodded and said, "It's of good quality, better than the elixirs sold in medicine shops."
Li Banfeng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Feng knows the goods!"
Shopkeeper Feng also smiled and immediately handed the elixir back to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng was stunned: "What do you mean? Not accepting it?"
Shopkeeper Feng shook his head: "It's not that I won't accept it, but I want to tell you the rules first. I am not a medicine shop, but a grocery store. Although I can do business, this is not my business.
In a medicine store, this elixir would be worth 12,000, but I can't afford such a price here.
I don't know how to make elixirs. I have to make a price difference when I put them in and out. Besides, I don't know when I can sell the elixirs, so I have to keep the price down, lest I won't satisfy you. "
Li Banfeng nodded and said that difficulties were a blessing. Li Banfeng had already prepared for this, but no matter what he said, Li Banfeng would definitely not sell it if it was less than a thousand.
"You name a price."
Shopkeeper Feng held out five fingers. Li Banfeng thought it was five hundred, and was about to frown when he heard Shopkeeper Feng say: "50% off, I will give you 50% off at most, six thousand yuan each."
Li Banfeng felt relieved. Six thousand yuan a piece was a very satisfying price for him.
But he was satisfied in his heart, and Li Banfeng didn't show it on his face: "Six thousand, that's a little less, but let's see how much shopkeeper Feng can ask for?"
Shopkeeper Feng stroked his mustache and said, "It depends on how much Boss Li comes up with."
"Sixty-five, can you accept them?"
Shopkeeper Feng nodded: "I can accept it."
"Shopkeeper Feng is a cheerful person, deal done!" After saying that, Li Banfeng took out the bag and poured out the elixir.
Shopkeeper Feng counted the amount, nodded and said: "Boss Li is also a very cheerful person. For such a large amount, other companies may have to keep accounts, but today I will give you cash directly."
After saying that, shopkeeper Feng waved and called the waiter over.
There was a clerk in the grocery store named Shengzi. Shopkeeper Feng whispered a few words to Shengzi. Shengzi went to the back of the shelf and entered a small door. After a while, he came out with a leather box.
Boss Feng opened the box in front of Li Banfeng. There were 11,000 wads of money and thirty-nine wads of banknotes inside.
Despite the small size of the shop, Shopkeeper Feng is really talented.
"Three hundred and ninety thousand, please count."
Li Banfeng smiled: "Can I still not trust Shopkeeper Feng?"
Li Banfeng counted it three times and put the suitcase away.
Shopkeeper Feng received the elixir and said with a smile: "Boss Li, thanks to your care, the business is done, but we have to make the rules clear.
I didn't ask you about the origin of the elixir. You can't ask me who I will sell the elixir to in the future and for what price. "
"Don't worry, I won't break your rules."
How could Li Banfeng be in the mood to ask about this? He took the money and went to the station immediately, bought a ticket and hurried back to Yuezhou.
Let’s check the rumors first and see if the people from the Dark Star Bureau can let him go.
If it's nothing serious, go to the hospital quickly to see what condition He Jiaqing is in.
Just as Li Banfeng was about to leave with the cash box, shopkeeper Feng said: "Boss Li, stay here. I will keep what you want."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Feng pulled down the curtain, and the record player appeared in front of Li Banfeng again.
An antique mahogany cabinet, three brass speakers, one large and two small.
Just the shape made Li Banfeng unable to move his eyes away.
"Boss Li, do you still want this record player?" Shopkeeper Feng observed Li Banfeng's expression and thought about the next words.
"If you want it, but I'm going on a long trip, it's not very convenient to take this thing with me." Li Banfeng tried to move his eyes away from the record player.
Shopkeeper Feng was deeply surprised: "You don't have to take it with you when you go out, just leave it at home."
Li Banfeng took the covered bowl and took another sip of tea: "Leaving it at home, no one takes care of it, isn't it a waste of this good thing?"
The waiter winked at the shopkeeper after hearing this.
Shopkeeper Feng sighed softly: "Boss Li is a straightforward person. Since he likes this record player, he was going to give you a discount and sell it to you for 180,000."
Li Banfeng took a deep breath and said: "Wait, wait a little longer."
Shopkeeper Feng picked up a disc, put it on the record player, added two cups of water, and lit the candle wick under the record player.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Rhythm spewed out in a neat rhythm from the small speaker on the right, the record rotated, and the fragmentary noise slowly sounded.
"The butterfly flew away, and the heart was not there. Who will come to wipe the tears on the cheeks in the long and desolate night..."
It was this song again.
"Wild grass and flowers grow in spring".
Li Banfeng couldn't control himself.
Shopkeeper Feng sighed: "Yesterday, a customer liked this record player. I said that this record player was reserved by another customer and I didn't sell it to him.
Boss Li, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this thing.
】
I really hope to wait for you to come back and listen to the last song, but when you come next time, I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to it even if you want to."
Come back?
Will I come back?
After returning to Yuezhou, Li Banfeng plans to find a job and live in Suishenju in the future. There is no mortgage, no traffic pressure, and a happy life.
Probably won't come to Prozhou again.
Thinking of this, Li Banfeng suddenly stood up and left the grocery store with the cash box.
Sad music lingered in the shop. The clerk stamped his feet and looked at Feng, saying, "Boss, I think he really wants to buy it. We set the price too high."
Feng sighed, "I can't do anything. If it's sold too cheaply, it won't sell!"
The clerk looked bitter, "What can I do? When can I sell it?"
Feng was helpless, and there were sighs in the grocery store.
After the song was over, the needle reached the end. Feng extinguished the fire and vented the steam. He was about to cover the record player when he saw Li Banfeng coming back.
"Sixteen thousand, will you sell it?"
The clerk looked at Feng expectantly.
Feng considered it for a while and said calmly, "Sell it!"
A few beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Feng wiped them off casually without revealing any flaws in front of Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng immediately pointed out sixteen hundred thousand and slapped it on the table.
Shopkeeper Feng did not count the money, but directly collected the money and told the clerk: "Shengzi, prepare the car, and deliver the goods to Boss Li!"
The clerk was about to prepare the car when he heard Li Banfeng say: "Wait a minute!"
The clerk was startled and looked at Shopkeeper Feng.
Shopkeeper Feng was still calm: "Boss Li, the business has been done, it is not appropriate to bargain again."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "It's not bargaining, I want to buy something else."
He wanted to buy a bed.
Since he was going to live in Suishenju for a long time in the future, sleeping on the floor all the time would definitely not work.
Originally, he planned to buy a bed after returning to Yuezhou, because online shopping was cheaper and there were many styles.
But after thinking about the journey, Li Banfeng decided to buy it directly from the grocery store.
He didn't want to live in the train anymore, he didn't want to encounter the three-headed monster at Santoucha again, and he didn't want to resist the unbearable temptation at Kudaikan.
He could live in Suishenju, and as long as he hid the key, he could successfully avoid all the dangers in the carriage.
After buying the bed, he bought some more food and drinks. Even if the train broke down again, it would not affect Li Banfeng's happy life.
"Buy a bed..." Shopkeeper Feng was going to say no, but there was a four-poster wooden bed next to the shelf in the inner room.
The so-called four-poster means that there are four pillars on the bed, with a roof above the pillars and a fence in the middle. The window is 1.5 meters wide and 1.2 meters high. The whole structure is like a small house, and it feels particularly safe to sleep in it.
Li Banfeng took a fancy to this bed: "Shopkeeper Feng, name a price."
Shopkeeper Feng didn't look at the bed, he kept looking at the record player.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the record player seemed to move slightly.
No, this thing may not want to leave.
Shopkeeper Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Boss Li, I like your straightforwardness, and you have taken care of my business a lot. I'll give you this bed!"
He didn't want to waste any more time, and didn't want to delay for a moment.
Li Banfeng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "How can this be possible..."
"Boss Li, if you don't accept it, you are looking down on me!"
"That's not the way to put it. How can I take such a good bed for free? You name a price and I'll take a look at the quilts."
"Quilts are easy to talk about. Shengzi, bring two sets of satin quilts to Boss Li."
"No, that, Shopkeeper Feng," Li Banfeng didn't understand what was going on. "I'm here to buy things, not to get a bargain. I also plan to buy two clothes..."
"Shengzi, take a ruler and measure Boss Li!"
Shengzi stepped forward and measured Li Banfeng from head to toe without any explanation, and returned with a pure white suit.
"Boss Li, I'm going to make friends with you, and I'm going to give you clothes."
"No, I don't usually wear white, it's hard to take care of..."
"Bring the black one!"
"Black is also easy to get dirty..."
"Bring the beige plaid shirt!"
"Forget it, I won't buy clothes," Li Banfeng was completely confused by Manager Feng, "I'll buy two candles."
"Shengzi, take a bunch of candles, and bring Ingrid's candlestick to Boss Li."
"No, you, I, I won't buy anything, I'll just buy two records."
Manager Feng arrived He took down a dozen records from the shelf and put them on the counter: "I'll give you two more barrels of fuel, a barrel of engine oil, a kettle, two cups, a bucket, and a bundle of candle wicks.
I also have a set of tools, including pliers and wrenches. If the record player has a minor problem, you can fix it yourself."
"No, I have that..."
Manager Feng took another feather duster and stuffed it into Li Banfeng's hand: "The record player is afraid of dust, so you should clean it frequently. Boss Li, I'm such a down-to-earth person. If you don't accept it, I'll be really angry!"
Li Banfeng didn't say anything.
No, he couldn't say anything.
The clerk hired a carriage, first moved the bed up, then the record player, and then the quilt, clothes, fuel, candles, buckets...all the other items were sent to the carriage.
Li Banfeng stood at the door in a daze with the feather duster.
The clerk helped Li Banfeng get on the carriage, and the shopkeeper shouted, "Boss Li, take care, we still have to rely on you to take care of our business!"
After that, Shengzi urged the driver, and the carriage left.
Seeing the carriage disappear at the street corner, Shopkeeper Feng and the clerk stood in the shop for a long time.
"Shopkeeper!" Chunsheng's voice trembled a little.
"Shengzi!" Shopkeeper Feng also choked a little.
"Shopkeeper!" Chunsheng's eyes turned red
"Shengzi!" Shopkeeper Feng wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Shopkeeper, are the things really sold?" Chunsheng still had some doubts in his heart.
"Shengzi, go to the inner room and take a look. I think the price is a bit cheap. Take a closer look. Is the thing back again?" Shopkeeper Feng's attitude was also very cautious.
Chunsheng trotted into the inner room and ran out again in a blink of an eye.
"It's not back. This time it's really sent away."
"Shengzi!" Shopkeeper Feng cried out.
"Shopkeeper!" Chunsheng's tears flowed all over his cheeks.
"Give birth to a child!"
"Shopkeeper!"
The two men sat on the floor, howling.
The clerk wiped his tears and said, "Finally, I can do business with peace of mind."
Shopkeeper Feng stood up and straightened his clothes: "Why do we still need to do business? Let's close the shop today, go to Fenglai Tower, order a table of good wine, and ask two girls to accompany us. Let's have fun for a few days!"
