Chapter 210 Make another profit
“This is my younger brother, he insisted on coming out to play with me.
There is no choice but to take him with you."
Lin Hongyi held her in his arms with a doting look on his face, and straightened Lin Shu's white fur coat and fox hat.
"Hahaha, who would be willing to refuse such a cute little boy?
Come on, go inside and warm up, don't let the little boy get cold."
"We can't disturb Big Brother when he's talking about business." Lin Shu said seriously.
She waved her hand and rejected Manager Tian's invitation.
She didn't cry or make a fuss, and even looked like a little adult, which made the grown men present feel soft-hearted.
When counting and estimating, one cannot help but speed up.
"Mr. Lin, please."
Shopkeeper Tian handed Lin Hongyi a list of goods and extended his hand to invite the two brothers into the house for a meeting.
When you go out, safety is the most important thing.
At least in his shop, the safety of customers must be guaranteed.
...
Lin Shu sat on a chair cushioned with rabbit fur, eating snacks obediently from a small plate.
Lin Hongyi wiped the corners of her mouth from time to time and fed her a sip of hot tea.
That attentive look really surprised Manager Tian.
It is really rare to find such a loving-hearted young man of fifteen or sixteen, no matter what his family background is.
Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but think of his little girl who was about to come of age, and he became a little more thoughtful as he spoke.
"Who else is there in your family? Is your parents still alive?"
Lin Shu's eyelids twitched. What did this person mean?
How can you ask about someone's family situation while discussing business?
Holding the invoice without mentioning the payment, do you think you can rob others?
Her eyes rolled, and she slowly put down the snack, wiped her hands with the hot towel prepared beside her, and spoke in a baby voice.
"Brother, Daddy and the uncles should be worried."
"Okay, let's go back now."
Lin Hongyi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Shopkeeper Tian and said calmly.
"Manager Tian, we still need to go out of town to pick up the goods, so we shouldn't stay here for long."
"Good good!"
When Shopkeeper Tian heard that there was still stock left, he immediately put aside the sudden thought that had come to his mind.
Nothing is more important than making money.
A specific supplier of the store, his whereabouts are unknown after he went to the north in the fall.
The caravans heading to the north were robbed by bandits many times and suffered heavy losses.
After the heavy snow, no one dared to risk their lives to go to the north.
The furs from the imperial city were sold at sky-high prices and were in great demand.
Someone in the store has secretly investigated the source of the goods, so he has to hurry and make another deal.
As the year draws to a close, the demand for fur coats is the highest.
By working overtime, we can make a lot of money once this batch of goods is sold.
Shopkeeper Tian likes heavy snow more and more and hopes it will snow as long as possible.
That way, his business will be taken to the next level.
...
"Pip-pa-pa..."
After a series of skilled abacus sounds, Shopkeeper Tian pushed the abacus towards Lin Hongyi.
Fifteen thousand taels.
Lin Shu glanced and winked at her brother calmly.
"Deal, give me all in gold notes." Lin Hongyi said in a deep voice.
In fact, his understanding of abacus is still vague.
I can understand the total number, but I don't understand how to add and subtract.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, wait a moment."
Shopkeeper Tian took out the prepared purse, opened it, and counted out a few general gold notes.
Lin Hongyi verified them one by one in person, put them away, picked up Lin Shu and said goodbye.
"Mr. Lin, please send us any goods you have. I guarantee to give you the best price." Shopkeeper Tian said reluctantly.
In both transactions, no specific information about Mr. Lin was obtained.
He had arranged for someone to follow him, but he was easily shaken off.
From this we can see that Master Lin is a martial arts master.
Shopkeeper Tian didn't want to offend such a person at all.
...
After selling out the furs in her hands, Lin Shu felt a lot more relaxed.
Otherwise, there would always be a pile of furs in the yard that looked hot, and it would be strange if you didn't feel anxious.
It’s not in vain that you often go in and out of teahouses and restaurants.
Most of our understanding of the imperial city comes from these places.
The more lively the place, the more gossip there is.
It is also the best way to get to know a place when you first arrive, and it is not easy to be discovered.
If you ask a messenger for help on everything, the safety factor will be much lower.
Therefore, the two brothers went straight to Tongshan Pharmacy as originally planned.
The antique lobby is filled with the aroma of various medicines.
There was a constant stream of people coming to take pulses and get medicine, and the number did not decrease as the year-end approached.
It seems that disease does not avoid poverty or wealth.
Before entering, Lin Shu saw rows of medicine shelves filled with porcelain jars.
The pharmacist wearing a white apron climbed up and down the human ladder, which did not affect the speed of dispensing medicine at all.
Lin Hongyi is tall and strong, with a circle of green beard around his lips.
He held Lin Shu tightly in one hand and held the reindeer horn in the other, carefully avoiding the crowd and walking inside.
Lin Shu put one arm around her eldest brother's neck and the other around the small cloth bag in front of her, looking curiously at everything in the pharmacy.
There are many kinds of precious medicinal materials, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, tiger bone, bear bile powder, etc.
Two doctors with sage-like appearance closed their eyes and took the patient's pulse.
Beside each of them stood a pharmacist holding a pen and ink, who bent over respectfully to listen to the doctor's words and wrote them down quickly.
There is a small door in the pharmacy that leads directly to the backyard, and the people inside are also very busy.
But it was obviously much more orderly than outside, and it looked like a ward.
...
"Boss, do you want to buy the antlers?"
Lin Hongyi placed the deer antler in his hand on the counter, blocking the shopkeeper's view.
The shopkeeper took away the account book and said kindly.
"Take it, sir, name a price!"
Lin Hongyi was stunned and asked him to name his own price.
He doesn’t know either!
My mind raced, and I finally remembered what my little sister had said.
“The shopkeeper is an expert in this area, so of course you name the price.
If the price is right, sell it. It’s not about relationships, it’s about relationships!”
“Haha, well said.
I won’t lie to you. A deer antler in good shape costs five hundred taels of silver.
You have three of them, which is exactly 1,500 taels."
The shopkeeper readily offered a suitable price, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes when he took a closer look at the antlers.
Lin Shu smiled faintly, she was already very happy with such a good start.
The three antlers were really free money for her.
There is a small herd of reindeer in the space, and they can support their families by selling their antlers in the future.
very nice.
“Deal, pack me some of the common pills we use in the store.
When you go out, you should prepare some more wound medicine, hemostatic pills, fever-reducing powder, and life-saving ginseng pills..."
Lin Hongyi skillfully recited a string of medicine names, and the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
I knew that this man must often go into the mountains to hunt, so it would not hurt to prepare some extra pills.
Not to mention, he was holding a baby in his arms.
It's obvious at first glance that he has some acquired deficiencies and needs to be taken good care of.
Shopkeeper Tian thought about this and took the initiative to add some commonly used children's medicines.
The pharmacy has improved many commonly used medicines and produced pills that can be stored for a long time.
A bag of various pills and powders, and five hundred taels of silver were taken away before I even got the money.
The two brothers were secretly shocked. Although the imperial city was nice, the prices were extremely high.
It’s really not easy to live in a big place!
Fortunately, they will not live here permanently, otherwise the brothers would spend money lavishly.
I'm afraid I won't survive more than a year and will have to beg my way out of the imperial city.
...
"Shopkeeper, do you think this is acceptable?"
Lin Hongyi took out a most common air-dried iron gall from Lin Shu's small cloth bag.
