Chapter 92 Tears of Regret

"Old Le, I will bid farewell today."

Li Xiao wanted to withdraw without looking back.

Seeing that Li Xiao was really angry and got up and left.

Only then did Le Lao, the shopkeeper of Tongrentang, realize that he was taking the liberty.

"Young Master Xiao, please stop."

Le Lao hurriedly chased after him, apologetic: "Just now I was presumptuous, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be more in love with that Ningyun girl than Jin Jian, how offending it is."

Li Xiao nodded, indicating that the matter was over.

The old man smiled apologetically and said: "One size is one size, this couplet needs to thank the young master in person, I still need it."

As he spoke, he took out a bank note from his sleeve.

In fact, the old man Le also has some scheming.

The other two pharmacies also coveted this couplet for a long time.

It was indeed said that one hundred taels of silver would be rewarded for finding couplets, and I gave an extra 100 taels.

But it didn't clearly state the ownership of the couplet, after all, the lantern festival was just a competition.

In case other storekeepers come to Li Xiao, they will pay a lot of money to buy it.
Repentance is also possible!

That's not going to happen, I'm happy to decide on this pair!
Therefore, he wants to thank you in person.

Set this thing down, nothing will go wrong.

Li Xiao saw that the other party wanted to take out a bank note, so he quickly pushed it back politely: "How embarrassing is this?"

"This is the wish of the old man, you can accept it, Young Master Xiao."

Old man Le stuffed the silver bill into Li Xiao's arms again.

But Li Xiao still pushed it back, saying: "No, no, talking about money hurts feelings."

"Be sure to continue, don't be polite to the old man, a pair that can be passed down for thousands of years, this is a great favor!"

The old man pushed back again.

The ancients paid attention to three pushes and three concessions when giving gifts.

Li Xiao pushed back again, pretending to frown and think about it, and then said:
"Forget about the money. Since we hit it off right away, why don't I buy some medicinal materials from your shop and forget about it. Talking about money really hurts feelings."

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't seem to be talking casually, Le Lao had no choice but to take back the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "Young master is so polite, then respect is worse than obedience, come with me to show you something good."

With that said, Le veteran Li Xiao led him into a small room.

Generally, those in small rooms must be good products.

There are exquisite wooden shelves in the room, and boxes of wooden boxes are placed on it.

The old man picked up a box and opened it.

"Look, Mr. Xiao, this is 450-year-old wild ginseng, which is a great tonic. It can prolong life."

Le Lao just introduced half of it.

Li Xiao picked up the box and looked at it again and again, then closed the box, put it under his armpit and said, "This ginseng is good, alas, I'm so sorry."

He thought to himself, this thing must have face as a dowry gift.

Wild ginseng worth 400 taels!

Le Lao twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Master, you have good eyesight."

"what is this?"

At this time, Li Xiao randomly picked up another box, opened it, and found a medicinal herb like a white lotus inside.

"This is 200-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, top grade."

Le Lao twitched the corner of his mouth again.

Because he found that Li Xiao had already closed the box, put it under his arm again and said, "The name sounds nice, not bad, not bad Le Lao, you are so kind."

"It's okay, it's okay, haha"

Le Lao bit the bullet and agreed.

At this time, Li Xiao had already opened the third box and said, "I know this one, Polygonum multiflorum, it's not very valuable."

Since it was worthless, Li Xiao took it again.

Old Le's forehead was already sweating, and he hurriedly explained: "It's wrong, this is a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and its value is no worse than that person's."

"Is this velvet antler? I heard it is very nourishing and can activate blood."

"We don't understand either. It should be good to take it back and soak in wine."

When old man Le explained, Li Xiao saw the antler again and took it away.

At this moment, Li Xiao could barely hold so many things with both hands.

Old man Le couldn't hold back anymore.

The combined value of these good things has exceeded 1000 taels.

It far exceeded the psychological expectation of the money he paid.

"Young Master Xiao, my pharmacy has a small business"

Le Lao just wanted to speak and said that he couldn't take it anymore.

Li Xiao also knew that he had reached his limit, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and quickly blocked his words:

"Old Le, Li Xiao and I have made an appointment with you as a friend, you are too polite!"

"Why do you look so embarrassed? I said no need to thank you, but you have to thank me."

"It's really too polite, I'm even embarrassed."

"Look, I can't even hold it in my hand, hey, you're too polite."

While talking, Li Xiao casually picked up another box.

I don't even look at what's inside, just clamp it under the armpit.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

The other party said so politely, and I really wanted to thank him.

There is absolutely no way to refute it.

But old man Le is a shrewd man.

The money has been given out, and the favor has been given out.

At this time, if the trouble is unpleasant, it is tantamount to giving it for nothing.

He was strong and calm, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, the old man didn't repay Mr. Xiao's kindness, and I feel sorry for him. Now the stone in my heart has fallen."

Saying this on the mouth, I am still annoyed in my heart, if I knew it, I would have given the money
"Then Li Xiao interrupted you today, I will take my leave first."

"I send you off, come often."

That's it.

Le Lao felt distressed, and enthusiastically sent Li Xiao out of the shop.

After sending Li Xiao out the door, his face changed, and he hurriedly walked towards the small room with his walking stick.

"Don't be it! That's a good thing worth 2000 taels."

Le Lao prayed in his heart while walking.

Because of aging and memory loss.

The last box that Li Xiao took away, Le Lao also forgot what was in it.

But there is one thing that is the most expensive in that room.

One of the treasures of the town store worth 3000 taels!

Soon, he returned to the small room, opened all the boxes one by one, and checked what was missing.

After looking at both sides, he finally confirmed it.

What Li Xiao took was really "ambergris".

"Why did you take the ambergris?"

On Le Lao's wrinkled face, distressed tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Grandpa Le, what's the matter with you?"

At this time, Xu Ying'er came over, and seeing Le Lao crying, she couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing."

Le Lao rubbed his tears, sighed and said: "That Li Xiao just now is really good everywhere, he is also a chicken thief and not clever, but it is a pity that he is a kind of love, and his heart belongs to him."

Xu Yinger bowed her head and remained silent.

Le Lao said helplessly: "Hey, Yinger has wronged you these years, I will help you find a good family again."

Xu Yinger nodded: "Grandpa Le, Xiaoying is also willing in this lifetime."

Le Lao touched her head distressedly:
"Silly boy"

"This one, a high-end game!"

Li Xiao is very happy, today is really fruitful.

With these precious medicinal materials.

The bride price looks better again!
After leaving the shop, Li Xiao walked a long way before he opened it and took a look at what was in the box he picked up casually at the end.

Open it up and smell it.

Warhol!

I know this stuff.

Ambergris. The stuff on the whale is very precious!

Although I don't know how much it is worth, it should be the most expensive thing here.

In this way, Li Xiao couldn't help but walk a lot more briskly.
