Sixty-sixth: forgetting to take medicine when going out
"The shopkeeper knows the goods." Li Xiaotian replied. From the episode of the encounter just now, it can be judged that she should be around the fourth level of Tongmai. Unexpectedly, her cultivation level is not high, but her knowledge is quite broad.
"How can people with low cultivation like us dare to go to the mountains to practice? We only know it from books. It's still the master's magical power that can obtain this thing." The shopkeeper laughed at himself and praised Li Xiaotian.
The strength of the Yuan Beast at the early stage of the fifth level is comparable to that of the monks at the early stage of condensation, and it is also a golden horned crocodile. It is notoriously tough, even for the monks at the middle stage of condensation. She is sure that Li Xiaotian is determined.
He has not reached the realm of three elixirs, so it is unbelievable that he can obtain this thing.
"Whether it's buying something or selling something, I don't like bargaining the most. The shopkeeper will give me a real fixed price." Li Xiaotian pointed out the theme again.
The shopkeeper echoed: "Young Master is so refreshing. To be honest, I also hate the process of bargaining. It's complicated and wasteful. The horn of this early fifth-level golden horned crocodile can fetch at most 2,500 gold coins."
"Deal." Li Xiaotian said decisively.
The shopkeeper thought that Li Xiaotian was just talking. She was a veteran in the business world. She had seen all kinds of customers who always talked about the fixed price but kept a few prices hidden in her heart. She thought that Li Xiaotian was also such a person.
The result was that it was a different kind. It was a fixed price, and it really made her stunned. She still had room for bargaining of two hundred gold coins.
"Two thousand five hundred gold coins is not a small amount. I need to apply with the family. Tomorrow there may be family elders who will personally come to take a look. After the elders have finished the appraisal, they will give the gold coins immediately. Of course, it is not that I can't trust the young master. This
It is a necessary process in the family." The shopkeeper explained.
Li Xiaotian replied: "In this case, I can't guarantee that this horn will still be in my hands tomorrow."
After all, it was the second largest store in Shang'an, Kyoto. To spend 2,500 gold coins on it like this, he couldn't wait anymore, and his stomach couldn't wait any longer.
Li Xiaotian complained in his heart.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked slightly panicked and said hurriedly: "It really doesn't make sense to let the young master wait in vain. How about this? I will first give you a reservation deposit of one hundred gold coins. What do you think?"
Li Xiaotian said: "I don't have any objection, but aren't you afraid that if I take the reservation deposit, no one will come tomorrow?"
The shopkeeper said confidently: "Since I proposed this plan, it means that I have great confidence in the young master."
After saying that, she walked back to the counter, took out a money bag, weighed it, and found almost sixty gold coins. She shook her head and began to rummage through boxes and drawers. It took a lot of effort to find ten gold coins, but she was helpless.
, could only ask Li Xiaotian with great embarrassment: "Sir, this is all my property, about seventy gold coins, is that okay?"
"Hey, who calls me a good man? Seventy, let's just say seventy." Li Xiaotian said generously, but in his heart, he just thought that he would have enough food and money anyway.
When Li Xiaotian took the money bag, something wonderful happened. He and the shopkeeper's stomachs beat drums in unison.
The two were stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed. After a moment, they looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that we have a good understanding of each other." Li Xiaotian joked, and then said: "I'm also planning to go to the inn for a meal. If the shopkeeper doesn't mind, you can come and have a meal."
"I have given all my wealth to the young master, so I can only be respectful and obey his orders. Anyway, I am just sitting in an empty building with no customers." The shopkeeper readily agreed.
Zhenxiang Restaurant.
Because Li Xiaotian was not familiar with Shang'an City, he asked the shopkeeper to recommend a restaurant.
I originally thought she would talk about going to Yunzhongyun. Needless to say, Yunzhongyun must be the best place to eat and drink in Kyoto, but I didn't expect that she would bring Li Xiaotian to this Zhenxiang Restaurant.
.
Although the architectural decoration of Zhenxiang Restaurant is not as grand as Yun Zhongyun, it can still be regarded as a first-class restaurant, and it can be regarded as Yun Zhongyun in the secular world.
The restaurant's business was very good. As soon as we walked in, the place was buzzing with people and noisy, and most of us were already seated.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Chen, I haven't seen you here for a while."
The shopkeeper seemed to be a regular customer, and the waiter greeted him warmly when he saw him.
"Are there any private seats upstairs?" Shopkeeper Chen asked.
The waiter said hurriedly: "It's a coincidence that the shopkeeper is here, there happens to be another table."
So, Li Xiaotian and shopkeeper Chen followed the waiter to the second floor.
The second floor is much quieter than the first floor. There are half as many guest tables as there are on the first floor, and each table is equipped with a screen. It does look much more elegant than the first floor. Of course, the value has also increased several times.
"Here, here's the menu. See if there's anything you like."
As soon as they sat down, shopkeeper Chen handed the menu book on the table to Li Xiaotian and motioned for him to order.
"If it's cooked, you should order it. I'm not picky about food."
Li Xiaotian returned the menu book to shopkeeper Chen.
"In that case, let's have ten signature dishes." Shopkeeper Chen put the menu aside and said directly to the waiter.
The waiter agreed and hurried downstairs.
"I remember that the best restaurant in Shang'an City seems to be Yunzhongyun Bar." Taking advantage of the gap between serving dishes, Li Xiaotian started chatting.
Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "Why, do you think the place I brought is not high-end enough?"
Li Xiaotian replied: "That's not true, it's just out of curiosity. It's too late for me to be happy that you saved me money."
"I have been in Yunzhongyun a few times. There is no doubt that the environment and food inside are first-class, but they lack the smell of fireworks. Everything is good. The good ones make people lose their appetite. It takes a while to eat or drink.
I’m so tired from carrying it, but it’s so relaxing here.” Shopkeeper Chen said with emotion.
"I think it's not the reason why the restaurant makes you relax." Li Xiaotian said in a conceited way.
Shopkeeper Chen asked: "How do you say this?"
Li Xiaotian replied: "It's because of people."
For some reason, shopkeeper Chen's face turned red involuntarily when she heard this explanation. The key point was that she felt that what Li Xiaotian said seemed to make sense.
Li Xiaotian had never had sex before, so he didn't know the reason why Shopkeeper Chen's face suddenly turned red. He could only say that it was invisible and alluring, and most disturbing. What was even more fatal was that Li Xiaotian, the instigator, didn't know it and asked: "Hey,
Why is your face so red? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shopkeeper Chen thought he was an outgoing person, but when Li Xiaotian asked, his face turned red.
Fortunately, the waiter came to the rescue at this time and started serving food and wine.
As soon as the food and wine were served, Li Xiaotian, who had been starving for a long time, took a bite of fresh food. Sure enough, although it was not as delicious as Yunzhong Yunhe Suiran Inn, it still had a unique flavor. After all, it was an earthly ingredient. It could produce such a taste.
It’s not easy.
"Shopkeeper Chen, are you really ill?" Li Xiaotian looked at shopkeeper Chen's blushing face and asked again in a daze.
Shopkeeper Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, returned to normal, and replied: "No, maybe it's the oil lamp shining on it."
"Young Master is your host today, come on, let me toast you a drink." Shopkeeper Chen raised his glass and drank it down, while changing the awkward topic.
"You didn't mean it just now, why are you so polite now?" Li Xiaotian asked.
Shopkeeper Chen said impatiently: "Are you done or not? Are you going to drink or not?"
"Look, isn't this a return to the origin?" After saying that, Li Xiaotian also felt bored.
The two of them just had a few bites of food and a sip of wine, and there was no small talk. They ate food and drank in a tacit understanding. In this way, they drank for three rounds.
At this time, shopkeeper Chen suddenly said: "Do you think it's strange? The two of us drank so much wine together without even knowing each other's names. We feel like we are old friends."
Li Xiaotian said: "You don't know my name, but I know your name."
Shopkeeper Chen said: "Then tell me what my name is. If you guess it right, I will give you a gift."
Hearing that there were free things, Li Xiaotian got excited and immediately said: "Your surname is Chen, and you have a clear name."
Chen Qing asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
Li Xiaotian smiled and said: "You accidentally saw your signature when you were keeping the account book in Guangyuan Building."
Chen Qing quickly waved his hand and said: "This is not a guess, the gift has been cancelled."
Just as Li Xiaotian was about to answer, four people suddenly came up to the stairs, all of them looked like young men in their early twenties. One of them saw Li Xiaotian and Chen Qing talking and laughing, and walked towards them angrily.
"Boy, I count to three and you will disappear from my eyes immediately, or you will disappear from this world." The man pointed at Li Xiaotian and threatened.
Chen Qing saw this and cursed: "Liu Pu, did you forget to take your medicine when you went out?"
