Chapter 10 The Young Master

After coming out of Zhenbao Pavilion, Ye Bai ducked into the alley when he saw it, and walked around it several times to make sure that no one was following him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally planned to go directly to Uncle Beard and the others, but I felt my stomach growling. I drank tea for a long time in the morning, and thought that I only ate a few simple bites of dry food in the morning, but now I feel unbearably hungry.

He found a noodle shop and ordered the stall owner's specialty Braised Pork Noodles, which contained a lot of large pieces of braised pork. Ye Bai's mouth was greasy after eating, and he spent 5 copper coins at the checkout.

The currency system of this era was relatively chaotic, but it was still dominated by the currency system issued by the Beiyang government.

One ocean is called one yuan, which is equivalent to three hundred copper coins, which means that for one ocean, you can eat it 60 times.

The sixty yuan in Ye Bai's pocket would have a purchasing power of close to 100,000 yuan in later generations. It is indeed a small sum of money. Thinking that he still has five pieces of bronze, Ye Bai feels at ease. No matter in which era,

Money is indispensable.

It's a pity that no matter how rich you are, you may not always have the channels to find foreign doctors to treat Mudeshungka. Haikou, which you boasted about at the beginning, is really going to be slapped in the face now.

There were very few foreigners in this era, and most of them were concentrated in the coastal areas. There were really few foreigners in Hunan, let alone a foreign doctor who understood psychology.

Fortunately, Mudeshungka's illness was not an emergency. Ye Bai thought that he could only find a solution later.

When we came out of the noodle shop, the fiery red sun was already high in the sky. The hot air on the roadside made many people sweat. The heavy rain yesterday seemed to be of no use.

It was half an hour after Ye Bai found Uncle Huzi. He was selling Miao Village's special insect repellent ointment under a simple thatched shed. Half a car of animal skins were piled up next to it. The weather was hot, and the animal skins were emitting...

It smells weird and doesn't look like a good sell.

Seeing Ye Bai coming, Uncle Beard threw the stall to him.

"Xiao Bai, I'll leave the stall to you. Lao Xu and the others haven't come back after purchasing for a long time. The quantity purchased this time is large. I want to go over and have a look to avoid being cheated."

There was no other way, so Ye Bai had no choice but to agree. After counting, there were about ten bottles of insect repellent ointment left, and even more than a dozen animal skins left. They were all worthless wild boar and fox skins, piled together in a mess.

"I really have no business sense. Who would buy it if it looks so bad?" Ye Bai sighed, then sorted out the ointment and animal skins and stacked them neatly together. They looked much more beautiful.

I took another piece of bluestone and wrote on the ground in front of the stall: "Miao Village's special insect repellent ointment, the nemesis of mosquitoes and poisonous insects, allowing you to have a cool summer. Buy now and get a limited edition rare animal skin. The quantity is limited, first come first come

First served!"

This kind of terminology must be the first of its kind in this era!

After finishing the work, Ye Bai, who was quite confident, found a shady place and lay down comfortably.

I thought a customer would come to my door soon, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.

In a hot environment, it is inevitable to feel a little drowsy.

"Is this ointment really as effective as it says? It can drive away any poisonous insects?" A crisp voice sounded in Ye Bai's ears, and he looked up.

A row of shining snow-white teeth came into view, but it was a girl, wearing plain clothes, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with skin as good as snow.

After coming to this world, this was the first time Ye Bai saw such a beautiful girl.

"Hey, what do I want to ask you?"

"Um...yeah...it's almost the same. It can repel mosquitoes and poisonous insects. If you buy it now, you'll get a rare animal skin for free. The quantity is limited."

The girl looked at the "treasured" animal skin that Ye Bai pointed at next to her, and wrinkled her little nose unconsciously.

She opened a bottle of ointment, smelled the unique vanilla smell, and liked it.

"How much does a bottle cost?"

Ye Bai smiled and looked behind the girl. Hey, he also brought a few bodyguards, a big client!

If you look closely, you will see that one of them is a clerk from Zhenbao Pavilion.

This guy also recognized Ye Bai and stared at Ye Bai arrogantly.

She thought to herself: It turns out that this guy is just an ointment seller. He was pretending to be a big boss in the store before.

Seeing that this person looked unkind and Ye Bai had a bad feeling about Zhenbao Pavilion, he started to care about him.

"This ointment is not expensive, but I am a business owner. I won't sell it to people with unknown origins! I won't sell it to people who have done many evil things! I won't sell it to people who look down on others! Do you still want to buy it?"

Hearing the trouble, the girl frowned, but she couldn't put it down and didn't want to miss the ointment.

"I am from Changsha, I have a clean identity, I have never done any evil, and I have never looked down upon others. You can sell this ointment to me."

From Changsha, are you the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion?

Ye Bai remembered that Wu Guangyuan said that the power behind Zhenbao Pavilion came from Changsha. This girl seemed to be of high status, and she should be a direct relative of that big shot.

"Of course it's okay to sell it to you, but who is this person behind you?" Ye Bai pointed to the clerk at Zhenbao Pavilion.

"This man is a clerk in my store. What's wrong with him?" the girl asked in confusion.

"It turns out to be a guy from Zhenbao Pavilion. Why does he look so familiar to me? I sold an ancient object in Zhenbao Pavilion this morning and gave me sixty yuan. This guy is very respectful."

"When I came to my stall and saw that I was selling animal skin ointment, this guy stared at me with his big eyes for more than a cup of tea. Do you think this is a look down on others?"

Ye Bai smiled slightly.

Before the girl could react, the man standing behind him immediately said: "Miss, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. I'm standing right behind you, not saying anything or doing anything."

The girl ignored the guy, but was very interested in the ancient objects Ye Bai said: "You said you sold an ancient object in Zhenbao Building today for sixty yuan. Can you describe to me what the ancient object looks like?

?”

Ye Bai was a little surprised, but he still described the appearance of the bronze vessel.

"The Ba Si Ba Wen Tiger Head Round Talisman Tablet should be a unique object from the Yuan Dynasty. Sixty Oceans is missing."

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at the clerk of Zhenbao Pavilion with burning eyes, "You are also an old man in the family. You should not be unclear about the rules in the family. It seems that I have to check your account books carefully. I hope Uncle Thirteen will not let me

disappointment."

Then, she looked at Ye Bai again: "Your goal should have been achieved. I will replenish you with the price difference of the round symbol. I will also punish you according to the family rules. Can you sell this ointment to me?"

Seeing that his thoughts were seen, Ye Bai didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Of course, a bottle of 50 copper coins."

"Okay, I want them all!"

The girl dropped a banknote worth fifty oceans, put away the ointment, and hurried towards the Treasure Pavilion with the people behind her.

"Hey, you haven't taken away your animal skin yet!" Ye Bai shouted.
