After understanding the meaning of Xu Zhengrong's words, the look on the boss's face changed back and forth several times before he sat back helplessly on his chair and gritted his teeth: "Okay, how do you want to talk about it?"

Xu Zhengrong knew that this meant that the boss was willing to compromise, so he raised the corners of his lips and teased with a half-smile: "Are you willing to have a good talk now? Wish it had been like this earlier!"

"I'm not greedy either. If you want eighty taels of silver, take it and don't give it up!"

This was the first time that the boss had suffered such a big loss when negotiating the price with someone. He looked at Xu Zhengrong with a particularly unkind look: "Eighty taels of silver is just eighty taels of silver. When I meet a naughty boy like you, It's my bad luck!"

After finalizing the price, Xu Zhengrong retorted calmly: "Huh? Boss, you are wrong. Eighty taels of silver can be doubled by changing hands. I am willing to sell it to you like this. Isn't it a gift to you?" What a bargain, this is not bad luck, it's obviously good luck!"

The boss knew that he was not easy to deal with. After hearing this, he chuckled in his heart. While feeling sorry for the extra money he had thrown away, he stared at Xu Zhengrong with a scrutinizing gaze: "You just said, you Are there any other treasures on you?"

The old fox has been in business all his life, and he has a very clear account in his heart. It is indeed heartbreaking to take out the eighty taels of silver as soon as he is told to take it out, but compared with the treasure that Xu Zhengrong said is like a human title, it is also It doesn't matter.

Ah Shui listened to the two people's back-and-forth argument and was secretly anxious. He went up the mountain to collect herbs with Brother Xu, and knew that he actually only had one plant of human title in his hand. Now when he saw the boss asking questions, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu. Zhengrong is worried.

There was no trace of panic on Xu Zhengrong's face. You must know that with so many years of supplies stored in the space, just taking out a few items is a rare treasure.

After thinking for a moment with lowered eyebrows, he walked calmly to the desk in front of the boss, and used the ink pen and rice paper placed on the desk to smear out the appearance of a herbal medicine.

The boss stood aside and looked at it carefully with his head lowered. After Xu Zhengrong had roughly sketched the outline of the herb, he suddenly clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Isn't this Chunzhi you are drawing?!"

Xu Zhengrong paused with his fingers holding the pen, and then finished the last stroke. He laid the brush horizontally on the table slowly and asked: "Chunzhi? Boss, can you recognize what I painted?" "

As the saying goes, "A thousand pieces of gold can be exchanged, but a magical medicine is hard to find." As the owner of a medicine shop, his hobby in life besides making money is to collect famous medicines from all over the world. Although Xu Zhengrong's painting skills are not very good, the boss can still vaguely see it. It looks a bit like Chunzhi.

Chunzhi, like human title, is a rare medicine, both of which have the effect of rejuvenating the soul and prolonging life.

He couldn't help but exaggeratedly slapped his mouth, and subconsciously touched the non-existent beard, feeling extremely emotional: "How could I not know about this kind of spiritual creature bred by heaven and earth? Chun Zhi looks like the earth fungus we usually use at home. It's similar, but its value is much higher than that of earth fungus. People in the capital regard it as a panacea, saying that if it can be taken for a long time, it can prolong life!"

Ah Shui was listening with fascination. He leaned over and looked at the ugly and extremely abstract painting on the rice paper several times. He couldn't help but ask, "You said Chun Zhi is not the same as what we eat at home." The fungi are similar, so how do you know that Brother Xu painted Chunzhi instead of earth fungi?"

The boss had an expression on his face that said, "I just don't know what I am doing." He shook his sleeves and hummed: "Didn't he make it clear earlier? He is still holding a treasure that is as good as a human being, your local fungus. Can it prolong life?"

Xu Zhengrong stopped the unconvinced little brother with one hand, nodded with a smile and said: "The boss is really knowledgeable. I also heard about this thing from the herb collector in the village. It is indeed Chunzhi!"

The boss's eyes suddenly lit up: "So you really have Chun Zhi on you?! Where is it? Come on, come on, take it out and let me see!"

Judging from his excitement, if he hadn't been polite, he would have rushed forward every minute to pull off the clothes Xu Zhengrong was wearing to see if there was any hidden Chunzhi.

Xu Zhengrong felt cold in his heart when he saw his eager gaze. He calmly dragged Ah Shui back half a step: "But, this Chunzhi..."

"I don't have any on hand right now!"

The boss's happy and smiling face suddenly fell down, his little eyes narrowed into slits, and he was unhappy in capital letters. He cursed and said: "Are you kidding me? What's the point of talking to me if I don't have you? You're useless." No!"

Xu Zhengrong waited until he had scolded him enough, then slowly spoke again: "Boss, don't worry, didn't I tell you? I don't have it in hand now, but I might have it in a few days. "

The drug store owner figured it out. This guy was just playing word games to play on himself!

He cast a sideways glance at Xu Zhengrong's face that looked particularly annoying, knowing that he was taking the opportunity to retaliate against his excessive price-cutting action. After weighing the two factors, the boss had no choice but to put down his airs and said sorry several times in a row.

The anger Xu Zhengrong was holding in his heart had finally subsided. He raised his finger and pointed at the Chunzhi on the painting: "Yesterday, when I was collecting herbs in the mountains with Ashui, I accidentally passed by a piece of rotten wood root and saw it by chance."

"I have grown ground fungus at home before, so I know what it looks like. Although this spring mushroom is slightly similar to the ground fungus, there are some differences after all. I have touched it and the spring mushroom is slightly hard. It must be Almost mature."

Listening to his description, the boss became more certain that Xu Zhengrong had met Chunzhi, who was rare to meet. He asked more anxiously: "Where is Chunzhi now?"

Xu Zhengrong had an innocent look on his face: "At that time, I was only busy accepting titles. I was so busy that I forgot about Chunzhi..."

The drug store owner's eyes suddenly opened wider than a bell: "How can you forget such an important treasure? Chun Zhi is the most delicate, and I'm afraid it will die in the mountains after a while of spring rain!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. If he hadn't seen that Xu Zhengrong was tall and strong, and he couldn't beat him with a loose bone, he would have been able to punch him with his fist.

It was just an excuse casually made up to fool the boss. Xu Zhengrong's face showed no signs of anxiety: "Isn't the spring rain not falling yet? Although I didn't bring Chunzhi back at that time, I left a mark in the mountains. As long as If nothing else, we will definitely be able to find it again."

The boss snorted angrily: "Who do you really think you are? Can I tell you that you will find that thing when you find it? If you can't find it then, don't come to me and cry!"

However, after being so frustrated with Xu Zhengrong several times, the boss finally came up with something different from the product.

It is not an easy task to go up the mountain to collect herbs. On the one hand, it depends on the right time and place, and on the other hand, it depends on people's luck.

There are many villagers in Qingxi Township who go to the mountains to collect herbs to support their families, but most of them are just ordinary herbs. How can Xu Zhengrong be so different? Is it possible that even Chun Zhi, who is so rare, can have good luck?

If there is no way to do it, the boss is the first one not to believe it.
