"The area is so huge!"
After walking in, Hu Xiaobei was somewhat astonished because he realized that the place was indeed very large!
Soon, regaining his composure, Hu Xiaobei looked ahead and saw someone selling medicinal herbs next to the counter ahead.
He smiled and walked over!
...
"White Spirit Root, worth five hundred, now damaged, priced at three hundred!"
As soon as he walked over, Hu Xiaobei heard the person in charge of evaluating the medicinal herbs speak in a bland tone!
Hearing him speak, Hu Xiaobei curiously looked over!
Very quickly, Hu Xiaobei slightly furrowed his brows!
Hu Xiaobei saw that what was placed on the table was indeed the White Spirit Root, but it seemed to be almost ten years old. Though it was damaged, pricing it at three hundred seemed far too low!
In Hu Xiaobei's view, it was worth at least three thousand, if not more!
Because the White Spirit Root could treat a broad range of illnesses, many prescriptions required it as a key ingredient!
"Thank you! Thank you!"
After hearing the appraiser's price, the owner of the White Spirit Root excitedly spoke up and quickly left with three hundred yuan in high spirits ...
"What an idiot! Hooked another one!"
Seeing the owner of the White Spirit Root leave with three hundred yuan in delight, the appraiser, Lu Yuan, sneered ...
In his view, deceiving these ignorant fools was just that easy ...
Upstairs, the store manager and the manager who had been observing every move downstairs were now smiling contentedly ...
After setting down his teacup, the manager spoke cheerily, "Your appraiser here is good, saving a lot of money for the company!"
"Manager, it's our honor to serve the company; honestly speaking, these people are idiots. They don't even know that the medicinal herbs they gather are treasures! It's simply too easy not to deceive them."
"Yes! That's exactly it!"
The manager nodded and smiled ...
...
"It looks like I'll have to think of another method in the future, otherwise, I'll really be swindled terribly!"
After watching the man leave cheerfully with three hundred yuan, Hu Xiaobei murmured to himself ...
Before, Hu Xiaobei thought that because they were backed by a big pharmaceutical company, the prices they offered for medicinal herbs should be fair, but now he realized he had thought too highly of them!
Just as he was frowning at this, Hu Xiaobei saw Qian Fei and her mother coming over!
Glancing at them briefly, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked forward since it was now his turn!
Honestly, if he didn't know that Guo Meiyu urgently needed money, Hu Xiaobei would have turned around and left immediately. But knowing that Guo Meiyu was anxiously waiting for the money, Hu Xiaobei knew that even though he was aware it was a trap, he had to jump in!
"Excuse me, I..."
After walking over, Hu Xiaobei began to speak while reaching out to lift the black cloth that covered the basket!
Before, because the sun was scorching, Hu Xiaobei had covered the medicine basket with a black cloth ...
"Go over there first!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand impatiently and then stood up with a smile on his face!
The next moment, he looked toward Qian Fei and said, "Qian Fei, you're here!"
Qian Fei nodded haughtily ...
Quickly, she glanced at Hu Xiaobei and sneered, "Did you think by walking in front of me, you could sell first? That's impossible! Trash like you don't deserve to be in front of me, go to the back and wait!"
After saying that, Qian Fei turned her head toward Lu Yuan and said, "Uncle Lu, this time I brought a few kinds of medicinal herbs!"
As Qian Fei spoke with a smiling face, many people quickly gathered around because they all recognized Qian Fei and knew that she was a talented medicine gatherer. Previously, she always brought a lot of medicinal herbs whenever she appeared, so this time, everyone was eagerly waiting to see what she had brought!
Hearing Qian Fei speak, an excited Lu Yuan quickly said, "Good! Good! Good! Bring them out, let me see!"
"Okay!"
As she spoke, Qian Fei set down the medicine basket and quickly began taking out the medicinal herbs one by one ...
"Cong Lingzi!"
"Larch!"
"Hongye Root!"
"Purple Lily!"
"Flower White!"
"Cai Lvling!"
Each time a herb was presented, gasps of surprise resounded through the venue!
Qian Fei was thoroughly enjoying herself, so she deliberately slowed down her pace…
"Six kinds!"
"This Qian Fei is really impressive!"
"That's right!"
Soon, everyone was staring at the six types of medicinal herbs Qian Fei had laid out, utterly astonished.
A week ago, Qian Fei had come here and sold three types, which means that in less than a week, she had found so many more!
That was simply amazing!
"Qian Fei, every time you bring surprises to Uncle! This time, not only did you bring six types of medicinal herbs, but each one is of exceptionally good quality too!"
Hearing the exclamations, Qian Fei proudly explained, "After discovering them, I didn't rush to dig them up but specifically waited until this morning to do so!"
While Qian Fei was confidently speaking, the manager of the acquisition point on the second floor was talking to his manager, "Manager, that girl downstairs is Qian Fei! She always brings a lot of medicinal herbs! Very impressive!"
Upon hearing the manager's words, the manager looked downstairs and quickly nodded with a smile, "Indeed, she's not bad! From now on, slightly raise her purchase price, understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Those below were unaware of their conversation…
At that moment, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Well thought out! These…"
Seeing Lu Yuan reaching out to inspect carefully, Hu Xiaobei frowned slightly and said lightly, "It seems I was here first, wasn't I?"
Being interrupted directly, Lu Yuan's mood soured instantly!
Turning his head and seeing a somewhat sluggish young man, Lu Yuan disdainfully said, "There's no first come, first served here. You wait on the side, and if you don't want to sell, then get the hell out of here right now! We're not lacking one person like you!"
After Lu Yuan cursed out loud, everyone's gaze turned towards Hu Xiaobei!
"This young man must be here for the first time!"
"Yeah, how dare he openly order Lu Yuan around?"
"What an idiot!"
In their view, Hu Xiaobei really should have behaved more submissively since he was the one seeking the purchase!
Hearing everyone's mockery, Wang Tiehua, Qian Fei's mother, smirked smugly!
Quickly, she jeeringly said, "Hu Xiaobei, is there something wrong with your brain? My daughter is currently talking to Lu Yuan. Are you deaf? Besides, do the one or two herbs you found qualify to compare with my daughter's? Huh! Idiot!"
"Just be good and shut your mouth!"
"That's right, just stay quietly on the side!"
"Heh heh, doesn't even take a look in the mirror to see what he really is!"
Many people wanted to curry favor with Qian Fei but had no opportunity, so knowing that Qian Fei seemed to dislike Hu Xiaobei, they didn't hesitate to kick him while he was down!
Hu Xiaobei, hearing those taunts, was unfazed…
After smiling, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lu Yuan and asked lightly, "I'd like to ask, can you represent the entire acquisition depot?"
After a slight pause, Lu Yuan disdainfully said, "I can represent! Absolutely can! Now just get out! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Receiving such a confident response, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Alright! I'll leave, but don't you beg me to stay later!"
While speaking, Hu Xiaobei casually reached for his medicine basket…
"Beg you? Are you still dreaming?"
As Lu Yuan spoke disdainfully, Qian Fei took a couple of steps toward Hu Xiaobei and arrogantly said, "Hu Xiaobei! You can only be haughty if you have real talent—do you?"
"Do I?"
When faintly questioning back, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Qian Fei and loudly declared, "Looking down on others! Open your eyes wide and take a good look to see if I have talent!"
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei did not hesitate to swiftly lift the black cloth covering his medicine basket…
