Chapter 295 The purpose of entering the store from the beginning
The black market in the capital is used to trade valuables and rare items of unknown origin all year round.
They include some toxic substances, and they are all traded privately and without evidence. They will not be returned or exchanged after they are sold out. Some shops even sell parallel imports today and local products tomorrow. The boss doesn’t know how many times they have changed, let alone
Confront someone.
Zheng Sihan dressed up in disguise and entered a secret street called Qingshui Lane under the guidance of his friend Shi Lei.
There is a mixed crowd here, and it is crowded everywhere. Most of the businessmen coming and going are dressed in strange clothes, which looks very different from ordinary businesses.
Zheng Sihan frowned. Although she was scared, she quickly calmed down when she thought about what she was here to do.
Soon, they passed through Qingshui Lane and entered the innermost row of shops.
One of the waiters saw Shi Lei brought by Zheng Sihan and shouted into the inner room: "Boss, the man who just wanted to buy venomous snakes is here again."
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone around them looked at them.
Zheng Sihan was a little worried and immediately clenched her fists.
Shi Lei explained in a low voice: "I don't know anything about the things sold here, I don't ask questions, and I won't pursue them."
Zheng Sihan was still a little nervous until the boss came out.
He was a tall man with a full beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn't look like he was from the capital city.
He glanced at Zheng Sihan and asked, "Are you going to buy a venomous snake?"
Zheng Sihan nodded.
The boss said: "I don't have many venomous snakes here anymore, how many do you want?"
Zheng Sihan said: "One!"
The boss smiled and asked, "I still want a white-tailed snake, right?"
Zheng Sihan nodded.
The boss shook his head: "That's not possible. I just told your boy."
Zheng Sihan didn't believe it at all and directly bid: "Five hundred taels."
The boss's brows moved slightly and he looked at Zheng Sihan with hesitation for a moment.
Zheng Sihan said again: "One thousand taels, if you don't have it, I'll find someone else."
The boss listened and asked directly: "When do you want the goods?"
Zheng Sihan said: "Today!"
The boss laughed again, but this time it was a sneer.
He directly said to Zheng Sihan: "Don't say it today, you can't even buy a white-tailed snake in three days or a month. In three months at the earliest, you have to give me a deposit of 500 taels, otherwise you won't be able to buy it today next year."
Can’t buy whitetail snakes.”
Zheng Sihan frowned, not believing it at all.
The boss was not in a hurry, and pointed to other shops outside the door and said: "You can take your people to ask first, and then come back and talk to me after you have asked clearly."
Zheng Sihan felt a little suspicious for a moment when she saw her boss speaking so confidently.
She looked towards Shi Lei and saw Shi Lei nodded slightly, his face looking very solemn.
Obviously, Shi Lei had already asked on this street just now.
But snakes need to hibernate. Even if you buy one, it will be winter in three months. What can you do?
By then, it’s hard to say whether the Lu family’s white-tailed snake will still be there or not.
After finally thinking of a way to deal with Wang Xiu, but seeing that it was about to go to waste, Zheng Sihan became more and more angry.
"Let's go."
She turned around and decided to give up.
But at this moment, the boss seemed to know why she bought the venomous snake, and immediately said: "White-tailed snakes are rare in the world, but there are venomous snakes that are almost the same as it. The wounds after biting people are similar."
Zheng Sihan stopped...
Seeing this, the boss thought that he had guessed it right, and added: "Generally, snakes bite people and run away. Many people don't even see what kind of snake they are, and they only know that they have been poisoned."
Zheng Sihan turned around and asked: "What venomous snake is similar to the white-tailed snake?"
When the boss saw the customer turning around, he knew that the business was likely to be successful, and immediately said: "Flat head wind. Flat head wind is very poisonous. If you are bitten by it, if you don't get treatment in time, you will die soon."
"
Zheng Sihan has heard of this venomous snake, and it seems to be the most venomous snake.
She said to the boss: "Where is it, show me."
The boss quickly took Zheng Sihan and Shi Lei inside. The light inside was very dark. The snakes were kept in large urns. The boss used a long pliers to show her that the snake's head was triangular, flat, and gray in color.
Black with spots.
And judging from the way the boss touches it, this flat-headed wind is particularly aggressive and is indeed very suitable for biting people.
She was already thinking about buying it, but Zheng Sihan asked before letting go: "Is this the most poisonous one?"
When the boss heard that she wanted the most poisonous thing, he immediately shook his head: "You want the most poisonous thing?"
Zheng Sihan frowned and asked, "Isn't this the right one?"
"no."
"This is the one!"
The boss opened another large urn, which contained a black and white snake. It was smaller but looked particularly eye-catching.
Zheng Sihan's eyes lit up because this snake has white parts on its body. If you look at it at night, it is more likely to be mistaken for a white-tailed snake.
She immediately asked: "How much does this cost?"
The boss said: "This one costs five hundred taels, but..."
"Then this is the one."
"Shi Lei, give me money!"
Zheng Sihan thought that if some white lime powder was painted on the tail of this snake, no one would be able to recognize it.
Shi Lei gave the banknote, and the boss looked at the satisfied master and servant before him and reminded: "This is a bungara snake, the most venomous snake currently on the market, but its venom is not the same as that of a white-tailed snake.
Its venom will make most people wait for death. If you meet an old doctor who has been detoxifying snake venom for many years, you will only have half the chance of survival. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Zheng Sihan said: "I want the most poisonous one."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, the boss reminded her again: "But the wound caused by its bite..."
Before the boss finished speaking, Zheng Sihan said impatiently: "You don't just sell but don't ask questions..."
The boss smiled while holding the banknote, and immediately stepped back and made a gesture of invitation.
Zheng Sihan snorted coldly and went out first.
After a while, Shi Lei was seen walking out carrying a woven cage, and the outside of the cage was covered with black cloth.
Zheng Sihan took off the black cloth and took a look to confirm that the poisonous snake was still alive, and said immediately: "I'll leave first, and you'll come out later."
Shi Lei nodded and stood at the door of the store waiting for a while.
At this time, the boss came out again, looked at Shi Lei and said: "Your master is too impatient. He only wants to do the most evil, and he has forgotten the purpose of entering the store in the first place."
Shi Lei frowned, feeling a hint of uneasiness in his heart, but he ignored his boss's words.
The boss didn't speak again, but ordered the clerk to close the door. With this business completed today, they don't have to open the door for three days.
So soon, only Shi Lei was left in front of the store. People passing by saw him standing there holding a cage, which seemed strange to them.
After a while, Shi Lei also left.
As the sun sets, the street gradually becomes deserted, and all the pedestrians are strangers, as if no one has ever been there before.
