Chapter 94 The bird in the cage

The maids lifted the veil, and the three of them saw a graceful and beautiful woman sitting on the chaise longue deep in the room.

The boy next to the chaise longue held the golden wire birdcage and bent down to keep the birdcage at a height parallel to the sitting woman, so that she could tease the birds in the cage.

Shopkeeper Qian walked in front holding the wooden box. The three of them were still five meters away from the woman, when they were blocked by two maidservants, one on the left and one on the right.

One of the maids signaled Shopkeeper Qian to hand over the wooden box to him. Shopkeeper Qian slightly turned his head to look at Xiaoruo who was following behind him, and silently asked him what to do.

Seeing that he didn't hand over the wooden box immediately, the maid frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Give me the things, and I'll present them to the master, do you understand the rules!"

"Jiu'er, it's normal for people in a small place not to know the rules. Just take it and don't ruin my rare good mood today." The woman said casually while stabbing the bird in the cage with a stick.

Sure enough, there is a servant for every kind of master. This woman's high-spirited tone is exactly the same as that of the oil-faced clay figurine.

The stick used to poke the bird is carved from jade. The woman's slender fingers painted with Danko pinch the round end, and use the slender and sharp side to keep poking at the bird's clipped wings. The bird is hiding in a small cage. There is no way to hide, but to flop around pitifully with its small body.

The maid stared at the three of them, and went straight to hug the pineapple wooden box.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, her sharp nails directly scratched the back of Shopkeeper Qian's hand. The painful Shopkeeper loosened his hand, and the wooden box easily changed hands.

Standing behind him, Xiaoruo could see it clearly, but secretly decided to double the price of Cordyceps.

If you don't slaughter them severely, you will be sorry for the red mark on the back of Shopkeeper Qian's hand!

The maid named Jiu'er came to the woman and knelt down, lowered her head and raised her hands to present the wooden box, and the maid who was serving behind the woman immediately stepped forward to open the wooden box.

On the bright and smooth red brocade, two things with a yellow color, half insects and half grass were lying quietly, one big and one small, and both were tied with thin red strings for fastening.

Seeing the long-awaited magic medicine in front of her eyes, the woman changed her lazy expression, her charming eyes lit up, and she became visibly excited.

"Hurry up, bring the caterpillar fungus that Miracle Doctor Lu gave you, and compare it for me. Is it the same species?"

The maid was ordered to take out a small jade-carved plate from the mahogany stuffed warehouse cabinet, and in the center was a small cloud brocade handkerchief folded into a square, which was the same style as the handkerchiefs I saw at Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Mao that day.

After the jade dish was presented to the woman, the maid carefully opened the brocade, revealing that the medicinal material inside was Cordyceps sinensis.

It's just that the Cordyceps in the veil is small, shriveled, and dark in color, compared to the Cordyceps brought by Xiaoruo and the others, it is completely different.

The woman could tell at a glance that the medicinal materials presented by the three were of better quality, she nodded in satisfaction, raised her chin and said in the direction of the three, "You all come forward."

Only then did the maidservant who blocked the way retreat to make way for the three shopkeepers.

After the three of them approached, they bowed their hands to the woman and saluted, but Jiu'er, who was allowed to stand up, rolled her eyes and whispered, "A small place is a small place, there are no rules, and you can't even salute."

She interrupted to speak suddenly, and the woman didn't get angry, she just glanced at her with a half-smile, "They have merit in getting the magic medicine, and they're not in the mansion, so if they don't know how to salute, they won't."

What he said was magnanimous, but it sounded awkward.

Stinky show off.

Xiaoruo cursed inwardly.

"Our master spared you the gift, and still don't thank you?!" Jiu'er still rolled his eyes.

The shrewd shopkeeper Qian knows the principle of being able to bend and stretch, and the person in front of him is a potential big benefactor, so he doesn't care about the maidservant's attitude. He smiled and folded his hands before bending down: "Thank you Madam Qian for your kindness."

Probably the words of shopkeeper Qian touched the woman's heart, and she looked even happier, asking the maidservants to show the three of them a seat.

Three mahogany chairs were brought up, and the three of them sat down one by one after thanking them.

"The quality of the Cordyceps sinensis you brought is good, but why are they one big and one small?" The woman stroked the two Cordyceps with her slender fingers and looked at them carefully.

"This is because the smaller one is the top-grade Cordyceps, and the larger one is the top-grade Cordyceps." Xiao Ruo replied.

Surprisingly, it was not the fat shopkeeper who was the leader who answered, but the petite girl behind him, who raised her eyes to look at Xiaoruo.

She hadn't looked at the three of them just now, but now she noticed that the girl behind the fat shopkeeper was supple and beautiful, with a pair of watery almond eyes on her palm-sized face, as if a star from the sky had strayed into the mortal world.

She has always hated young girls who are prettier than herself the most, and her tone suddenly turned bad: "Is it your turn to talk? Country girls just have no rules!"

Shopkeeper Qian was also unhappy, Miss Xiao is smart and smart, why is she just a country girl?

He wanted to find a place for his idol, so he grandly introduced Xiao Ruo to the woman: "This is Xiao Ruo, an external director of our Qinzhou Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce. Recognize that this is the legendary Cordyceps sinensis."

When the woman heard his introduction, the disgust in her eyes faded a bit.

Shopkeeper Qian went on to praise Xiao Ruo: "Madam may not know that this time it was Miss Xiao who personally led the caravan to the wild frontier, and brought back the caterpillar fungus in front of Madam after going through untold hardships. , I can't wait to imagine..."

As he spoke, he pretended to be moved and wiped the corners of his eyes, looking as if Xiao Ruo had suffered a lot.

Unexpectedly, this girl was still the key figure in bringing back the Cordyceps sinensis, and the woman suddenly felt chic and pleasing to the eye.

She has always been the most generous to those who can help her, so she immediately took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and put it in Xiaoruo's hand.

"Miss Xiao is really smart and capable, why don't you tell me in detail, what is the difference between the top grade of this Cordyceps and the top grade?"

The jadeite bracelet that was stuffed in the hand was full of green seeds, transparent in texture, and excellent in water quality. You could feel its delicate and smooth touch when you touched it with your fingers. It must be a valuable item with a high cost.

Xiaoruo didn't intend to spit out the baby that was delivered for nothing, she put the bracelet on her wrist gracefully, as if the bracelet belonged to her in the first place.

After the things are collected, what should be fooled is still to be fooled.She put on the salesman's signature affectionate smile, and introduced the grading of Cordyceps to the woman in detail.

"Ma'am, this smaller top-grade Cordyceps has a larger grass head and a moderate body size. The price is 100 taels. The price is 800 taels."

After listening to Xiaoruo's explanation, the woman went to look at the two cordyceps on the red brocade, and felt the difference between the two.

"Then... what about the efficacy of the medicine?" She was most concerned about whether this magical medicine could help her achieve her goal.

"Cordyceps sinensis belongs to the lung meridian and kidney meridian. It has the effect of tonifying the kidney and lung. It is rich in protein and amino acids, which can enhance the body's immunity. The top-grade Cordyceps is very suitable for people with weak bodies, and the top-grade Cordyceps is bigger and stronger. If it is full, it will naturally contain more nutrients..."

A bunch of current professional terms made the woman startled for a while, she couldn't understand what these words meant, she could only vaguely understand that the bigger the caterpillar fungus, the better.

"The miraculous doctor Lu who asked me to look for this magic medicine said that this medicine can strengthen yang. Is it true that the effect of the top-grade medicine is also greater than that of the top-grade medicine?" She couldn't wait to confirm this.

Xiaoruo nodded affirmatively: "That's for sure, top grade is better than top grade, super grade is better than top grade."

Although the size of Cordyceps sinensis can only reach three pieces per gram, the overall plumpness change will not be obvious if it is larger, and the increase in efficacy is relatively small, but what she guarantees is only the concept of "better than" and does not promise how many premium products are. Oh, the effect of the medicine against the sky.

"There are also premium products?!" The woman was taken aback. The price of top-grade products is 800 taels. Wouldn't the price of premium products be even higher?

"Yes, premium products are very rare, and we will only display the ones that are not for sale for the time being." Xiao Ruo said with a smile, and almost blurted out the classic address of a certain treasure's customer service for customers.

Hearing that premium products were only displayed but not sold, the woman felt itchy in her heart. She naturally wanted the best grade, but if she wanted to buy premium products, money alone was not enough...

When she came from Yingzhou, she brought 1 taels of silver, and after living in luxury in Qinzhou for three months, she has spent less than half of it, and the rest of the money can only buy five or six top-grade Cordyceps...

If the money is not enough, she can go to the bank to withdraw it. Anyway, the master is partial to her, so it is not a problem to use more money. What's more, she went to Qinzhou this time in the name of seeking magic medicine for the master. As it should be.

I just don't know how much the premium Cordyceps costs, so this chamber of commerce is willing to give her up...

"Then I'll order six top-grade ones first. If the effect is good, I will naturally order more from you." She pinned a lock of hair from the corner of her forehead behind her ear, and a habitual smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously. "I just don't know if it's possible, premium product..."

She didn't even realize that there was a strong sense of flattery in her smile, which was a habit that had been carved into her bones.

Hearing that the woman asked for six top-grade sticks in one go, shopkeeper Qian felt his little heart was a little excited. This is 800 taels?Pay back directly and earn some money!

The smile on Xiaoruo's face became more professional: "The premium products are only for display and not for sale, but every customer who buys [-] or more premium products will have the opportunity to exchange for a premium product at a discounted price."

Isn't it just hunger marketing plus distribution? She had seen enough of this set before she was reborn.

Hearing what Xiaoruo said, the woman seemed to have received a windfall, and she was ecstatic: "Good! Good! Tomorrow I will personally pick up six top-grade Cordyceps sinensis. I hope that I will be lucky enough to appreciate the demeanor of the super-grade grade!"

"Naturally, you are our most honored VIP customer."

Although she doesn't understand what a VIP customer is, the woman can feel that this word is very unusual, and her face is greatly satisfied.

So the business meeting came to a successful conclusion, both parties were very satisfied, and the woman specially ordered Jiu'er to send the three of them to the entrance of Yuelai Inn, and watched them leave.

On the way back to the chamber of commerce, shopkeeper Qian couldn't help blowing rainbow farts at Xiao Ruo: "Miss Xiao, you are really amazing! Now we have recovered all the costs immediately. Listen to her tone, and then we Definitely a lot of money!"

Already accustomed to Shopkeeper Qian's fanboy personality being exposed from time to time, he is cheesy but smiles silently.

Compared to Shopkeeper Qian's excitement, she noticed that Xiao Xun, who had been walking beside her, was too quiet.

"Axun, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoxun was still thinking, he looked at the sky and murmured: "Bird..."

Shopkeeper Qian and Xiaoruo also followed his gaze to look at the sky, the sky was filled with white sunlight, and there was not a single bird feather in the scorching sunlight.

"The bird in the cage..." He seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and asked the two of them: "The bird in the cage just now had an anklet on its leg, and the iron chain was tied to the anklet and the railing of the cage, right?"

Xiaoruo tried her best to recall the birdcage, but it was a pity that she was only thinking about business just now, and didn't pay much attention to the birdcage.

Shopkeeper Qian really likes raising birds for fun. He noticed that the bird was tied to its feet by a chain. At that time, he thought to himself why it was already in the cage, and it was unnecessary to tie the chain to the bird?

Received an affirmative answer from Shopkeeper Qian, Xiaoxun said: "Then have you noticed that the boy carrying the bird cage also has an iron ring on his ankle like the bird in the cage?"
