The black-faced man and his group hadn't gotten rid of their belongings yet, so they only opened one room and people were sleeping all over the place.
Before I got up, I heard someone knocking on the door.
The black-faced man woke up suddenly, and immediately took out the dagger under his pillow, and then asked: "Who?"
"It's me!" the innkeeper's voice sounded outside the door, "Sir, someone is looking for you."
"Who is looking for me? I don't know anyone here." The black-faced man did not rush to open the door, but tightened his grip on the dagger.
"This is Dr. Hao from Le'antang. He said he's here to discuss some business with you." The waiter said, "I'm waiting for you in the lobby downstairs!"
The dark-faced man heard this and turned his attention to Xiao Si.
Xiaosi nodded and said that he had indeed gone to see Dr. Hao from Leantang yesterday.
"I know, I'll go down right away." The black-faced man responded, and then said, "Xiaosi, go down and take a look."
Xiaosi didn't think too much, and got up very happily. While putting on his clothes, he said: "I must be sincerely wanting to buy medicinal materials when I come here so early in the morning.
"Brother, you don't know, the medicinal materials in this car seem to be really good. I asked several stores yesterday, and everyone wanted to buy them after me!"
The dark-faced man nodded slightly but did not say a word. He was still on guard at this time, for fear of being deceived.
Xiao Si went downstairs to talk to Dr. Hao, while the dark-faced man quietly looked down through the gaps in the stairs.
"Dr. Hao, you're here too early." Xiao Si pretended to be angry when they met.
I just heard Dr. Hao say: "The medicinal herbs you brought out yesterday were so good that they made me feel itchy. I didn't sleep well all night. I hurried over after getting up for fear of being overtaken by others."
When Xiao Si heard this, he grinned and said, "No, as I said yesterday, there is absolutely no guarantee of the quality of the medicinal materials. As for who sells it, it depends on who pays the higher price."
Doctor Hao was not in a hurry to negotiate the price. Instead, he said, "You said yesterday that besides the ones you showed me, are there any others? Can you show me the things first?"
"No problem." Xiao Si agreed happily, stood up and said, "The goods are all in the car, I will take you to see them."
The two came to the carriage, and Xiaosi opened the carriage, revealing a box full of boxes inside.
Dr. Hao opened them casually and looked at two of them, and immediately his breathing became faster and faster uncontrollably.
"How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I? The quality of the goods is absolutely impeccable." Xiaosi leaned aside and said proudly.
"The stuff is indeed good..." Doctor Hao suddenly turned around when he said this, "But it's not as exaggerated as you said, that is, well, it is above average..."
Doctor Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the medicinal materials, but he was afraid that the little four lion would open his mouth and cause trouble by stumbling.
Xiao Si was too lazy to tell him more. He stepped forward and closed all the boxes he had opened, closed the car door, yawned and said, "Doctor Hao, are my things good?
You have seen it with your own eyes, so there is no need to say whether these things are present or not.
"Originally, I thought it would be difficult for you to come here early in the morning, so I gave you a chance. It would be boring if you did this.
"You know better than me whether I can handle this thing well or not.
"If you want to buy it, let's talk about the price. If you don't want to buy it, please go back. It just so happens that I can get some sleep again when I go back."
"I want to buy it, of course I want to buy it." Doctor Hao looked a little embarrassed, as if he was annoyed that he was too upright and couldn't negotiate the price.
But thinking of the high-quality medicinal materials in the car, he seemed to be a little excited, and then simply broke the jar and said: "Okay, you have said this, I still hide it.
That's boring. The quality of your batch of medicinal materials is indeed good. I haven't seen such good medicinal materials on the market for a long time."
Xiaosi immediately laughed after hearing this, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right! It's obvious to all that something is good, and then it depends on your sincerity."
But I heard Dr. Hao continue: "It's true that the stuff is good, but judging from the way you were asking around with the medicinal materials yesterday, you must be a layman, right?"
When Xiaosi heard this, his heart tightened. Could it be that he had been discovered?
The black-faced man who was hiding in the corner and listening to their conversation was also startled, and nervously clenched the dagger in his hand again.
Seeing that Dr. Hao's expression didn't look like he had discovered something, Xiaosi coughed and said tentatively: "You're right, this cart of medicinal materials was paid to me by someone else. I only know that the stuff is good.
I don’t understand much.”
"That's it." Dr. Hao didn't notice anything strange about him. Instead, he was very proud that he guessed it right. He continued, "I won't beat you in circles. These medicinal materials of yours are indeed very good, but ordinary medical clinics simply cannot take them.
Don't order so much goods.
"There are a total of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials in your car. If you sell them in bulk, weigh a little of this and order a little of that, it won't be enough for you.
"If you are willing to sell me the medicinal materials, I will take them all.
"As for the price, I dare not say that I can offer the highest price, but I guarantee that I will give you a good price and you will never suffer a loss.
"We dare not say that our Le'antang is the largest medical clinic in Changsha Prefecture, but it is the time-honored brand with the best reputation.
"If you don't believe it, you can just go to the street and ask anyone. You will definitely be innocent."
Xiaosi didn't really think about it that much at first, he just thought that the highest bidder would get it.
When Dr. Hao said this, he also reacted. He remembered that he had gone to the medical clinic before when he was sick, and the medicine the doctor prescribed cost a few taels of this and that, and his face immediately turned bad.
Yes, these are medicinal materials in the car, not rice and flour. Not only can they not be eaten every day, but the dosage is also very small.
Selling them separately not only wastes time, but is also cumbersome...
The most important thing is that it would be too unsafe to come into contact with too many people.
Xiaosi made a mental calculation. Yesterday he asked for directions while looking for a medical clinic. The first person he recommended to everyone he asked was Le'antang.
He went to several medical clinics one after another, among which the largest and most impressive one was Le An Tang.
If there is only one restaurant that can take in all the medicinal herbs in one go, it is probably Le Antang.
Xiaosi basically agreed with Dr. Hao's point of view, but he couldn't make the decision on this matter himself, so he said: "I will go back and discuss it with my family, and I will give you the final letter after the discussion."
When Doctor Hao heard this, he quickly grabbed Xiaosi's hand, gave him a piece of silver and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Seeing that Dr. Hao was so "sensible", Xiao Si immediately secretly put away the money and said with a smile: "The main thing is that what you just said makes sense. I don't think the problem is big."
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare the cash, and then wait for your good news." Doctor Hao smiled with an honest look on his face, and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Xiao Si before leaving.
He went out and got into his carriage, and drove away from the inn under the watch of the black-faced man and Xiaosi.
"Doctor Hao is so secretive!" After the carriage had gone far away, another voice came from inside the carriage, "It's a shame that I bothered you so much. Who would have thought that he could act so well, so naturally, without any trace of it?
