Come to the door

Wang asked in confusion: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

The old man smiled and said: "It's not because of this flexible head of Qibao, proposing some kind of sharing contract with Shopkeeper Hong, once this is feasible, then the pills won't be at the current price!" Then he told his family about the conversation between Qibao and Shopkeeper Hong.

After everyone listened, Mrs. Zhang laughed and said: "Qibao is the smartest one in our family, even if this auction doesn't work, our family still gets the current price, and we don't lose anything, it's not a loss!"

Qibao said: "Who said that I am the smartest in our family? My brothers are also very smart. What's more, I have a master to teach me, so I naturally know more!"

The old man said: "It's a shame that I can't treat your master properly and thank him!"

Qibao said: "My master is in a place where gods should stay, how can he come to a place like us mortals!" Qibao has always regarded Xu Fangfei as her master, and to ordinary mortals, immortal cultivators are just like gods!

It's not like she lied to her family, but she didn't tell her family that her master was gone. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain her differences. She can only say that her master is teaching her every day. Therefore, Qibao's family members always thought that Qibao's transformation was due to her master.

Mrs. Wang put away the money and started preparing lunch with her three daughters-in-law.

.........

It has been half a month since the road construction in Xujiacun, and the road has been built for a long section. Every time Xu Erbo and the village chief had to walk up for nearly an incense stick of time to get to the section of the road that the workers were repairing. After all, there were more than a hundred people working, and all of them were peasant men who were used to doing laborious work.

Early in the morning, the Xu family got up, and white mist came out of everyone's mouth when they spoke. Wang said: "It seems that this winter will be much colder than last year. Fortunately, everyone in the family has made cotton-padded clothes! The quilts are all new. I finally feel better this year. The Chinese New Year will be here in one and a half months! Our family will have a lot of fun this year. Have a good New Year!"

Zhang laughed and said: "Yes, time flies so fast. Last year our family was still eating brown rice. Unexpectedly, this year our family not only built a new house, but also started a business. It's really touching to think about it!"

The old man said: "It's not because of our Qibao's credit, this year our family will prepare more things for the three daughters-in-law to bring back to their maiden homes, as our Xu family's annual gift to our in-laws! Every year our family is poor, and there's nothing we could bring out."

The three sisters-in-law were very happy after hearing what their father-in-law said, and replied: "Thank you, Dad, for still thinking about my family."

The old man smiled and waved his hands and said: "It should be, it should be, we are all one family!"

Just as the Xu family was chatting lively about home affairs, there was a knock on the door.

The old man said: "Third son, go open the door and see who is coming!"

Xu Laosan hurriedly ran to open the door. When he saw it was shopkeeper Hong, he was a little surprised and said: "Shopkeeper Hong, why are you here? Please come inside quickly."

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said: "I came here to discuss something with your family. Are the old man and this girl Qibao at home?"

Xu Laosan said: "They're at home, come in quickly!" He quickly invited people into the main room.

When the old man saw his son and shopkeeper Hong coming in, he stood up and greeted him, saying: "Why did Shopkeeper Hong come? You didn't tell us in advance, so that our family can prepare to entertain you!"

Shopkeeper Hong said with a smile: "Please don't blame me, old man. I've taken the liberty of disturbing you today. It's really because I have something to do that I came to your door!"

The old man exclaimed: "Let's sit down and talk slowly, Laosan, go make a cup of tea and come over!"

After a few people sat down, the old man asked: "Shopkeeper Hong, is there something important that requires you to come here in person?"

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Where is this girl Qibao? It's about the pills!"

The old man said: "This girl is in her own room, I don't know what she is messing with... I will call her over right now."

Xu Laosan said: "Dad, stay here with Shopkeeper Hong, I'll call her!"

Xu Laosan knocked on the door of his daughter's room. Qibao, who was reading in the space, heard a knock on the door from outside. She quickly left the space, opened the door, and saw her father outside.

Xu Laosan saw that his daughter was wearing thin clothes, so he quickly went into the room, picked up the cotton clothes on the bed, put them on his daughter, and said: "Why are you wearing so little, you're not afraid of getting sick!"

Qibao's temperature in the space has always been very comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot, so she wore less clothes. When she left the space, she was busy opening the door, she was in a hurry to put on her coat before she opened!

Qibao said: "I'm not cold. Is father here for something?"

Xu Laosan then said: "Shopkeeper Hong is here and wants to see you!"

Qibao nodded, Xu Laosan helped his daughter get dressed, took Qibao's hand, and then the father and daughter went to the main room.

Shopkeeper Hong saw Qibao coming in and said: "Girl, I'm here to talk to you about the pills today, and I have a letter for you!"

Qibao was surprised and asked: "What letter?"

"It's written to you by my master, you'll know when you read it." After saying that, Shopkeeper Hong took out an envelope from his arms, on it was written Qibao personally.

Qibao took the letter and said without opening it on the spot to see what was written: "Grandpa Hong, how are the sales of pills during this period? Does my method work?"

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said: "Well, these days you are not aware of it, a lot of people know that there is this kind of miracle medicine for injuries, the market has begun to open up, and a lot of people are also dissatisfied with the auction of the pills, but they don't dare to make a move against us because once the price rises, it means that a lot of people can't afford to buy it. I sent someone to mix in with these people, and consciously or unconsciously revealed the method that you said to these people, and unexpectedly, there are still a lot of people who really do it! It also saves some unnecessary trouble!"

Qibao said deliberately: "I think those rich people don't care about the money. Are they willing to give up these pills?"

Shopkeeper Hong replied: "They don't want to give it up, auctioning away a portion is not eye-catching, but if they want to round up all the fifty pills per day, it will probably cause the anger of those outlaws in the jianghu who can't buy the pills, and if these people gang up to retaliate against them, it will be enough for those rich people to get a pot of water, so they all know how to divide it up! It can't be that they can eat the meat themselves and not even share the soup with the others!"

Qibao said: "In that case, is Grandpa Hong here to sign a contract with me?"

Shopkeeper Hong said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you, girl, so how do you plan to divide it?"

Qibao said: "50 to 50, Grandpa Hong, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Here, girl, you don't know that we have put in a lot of effort to sell these pills, and we have to send experts to protect these pills. This 50-50 loss is a bit of a disadvantage to us!"

Qibao said calmly: "I think Grandpa Hong should know the preciousness of these elixirs. Not to mention how difficult it is to make these elixirs, the medicinal materials alone are not cheap, and I also added something special into them. Otherwise, how could the effect be so significant!"

Shopkeeper Hong also knew that he had looked at the pills with some doctors who were knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals, and he had researched the ingredients of the medicine. It is indeed not the price of ordinary medicinal materials, but there is something in it. They can't figure out what it is. They just conclude that this pill is extraordinary. Taking it not only has the effect of rapid healing of people who have suffered internal injuries, but also has a good effect on wounds. The healing speed is also amazing.
