Chapter 1185 Hard Bargaining

The old Taoist busied himself for half the afternoon and finally replaced the combination lock. He had originally thought of showing off a little, and that was why he had specially tinkered with it, but the effect could only be compared to when he bought an electric wheelchair for the boss.

But the old Taoist has never been one to be discouraged.

He is still optimistic, positive, and striving upwards,

Full of positive energy!

Otherwise, facing the storms of life,

So many thunderbolts,

He wouldn't have lived to this day.

Even if he wasn't struck dead, he would have been depressed long ago.

It is a long life for ordinary people to live to their early seventies, and it is even more difficult for the old Taoist.

"Why do you keep pushing yourself forward when people ignore you? Look at your useless appearance!"

The old Taoist looked at his monkey, who kept fawning around the masked palm civet, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

The little monkey ignored him and continued to "squeak, squeak, squeak" around the masked palm civet, showing great enthusiasm for this new "playmate".

"If you like a female monkey, we'll go to the zoo tonight to find you one;

Fat or thin, tall or short, knowledgeable or licentious,

We'll sweep through all the zoos in the Yangtze River Delta and put together the type you like.

But you like this thing; this isn't even cross-breeding."

A donkey and a horse can produce a mule, and a husky and a corgi can also have pups,

But can a monkey and a civet have babies?

The old Taoist really thought about it for a while; it seemed impossible.

"Wait, is this thing male or female?"

The old Taoist then realized that he had overlooked the most important question. Regardless of the difference in species, if they were both male, even the strongest species and bloodline would be useless.

He reached out and grabbed the civet's butt.

Just as the old Taoist was about to lift the masked palm civet to see if it was a brother or a sister,

The civet suddenly opened its eyes,

Turned its head,

And stared at the old Taoist.

Deep in its eyes,

Was endless coldness!

The little monkey next to him was stunned and didn't dare to "squeak, squeak, squeak" anymore.

Logically speaking, one was a kindly demon monkey from several lifetimes of reincarnation who had also obtained the legacy of the Moving Mountain Ape; the other was a great demon bloodline that had appeared in ancient myths.

If you had to compare, it would be difficult to say who was higher and who was lower.

But without a doubt, the little monkey was still in a naive stage of growth, and in terms of strength, the civet was definitely far ahead of the little monkey.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this thing was delicate and afraid of pain, and happened to be "strung" together with the humanoid vines and Zhou Ze in the cave, it would have been difficult for Zhou Ze to subdue it. At that time, it would have been difficult to say whether his group could have left the cave unscathed.

Even the monkey was afraid.

Not to mention the old Taoist.

His body began to tremble.

Damn it.

The old Taoist didn't think he was courting death.

People who like to court death usually think that they are being as law-abiding as possible.

He could only complain in his heart that the boss had brought back a demon beast with such a bad temper this time.

This killing intent

Was real.

This thing really wanted to tear him to pieces!

"What a beautiful butt, so beautiful, so beautiful!"

The old Taoist retracted his hand and flattered, "The weather in Tong City is very cold; shall I get you some clothes?"

As he said that,

The old Taoist pointed to the monkey wearing clothes next to him,

"Look, clothes like that, I'll choose some good materials for you; how about some silk? Mink is also fine..."

The killing intent

Became even stronger!

"Impudent!"

A low shout came.

The civet was so frightened that it shivered and immediately curled up in the corner of the sofa, sticking its butt up high.

And it shook it,

Meaning,

"I'm very, very, very good!"

Zhou Ze, who had just taken a shower, came over in a white tracksuit, wiping his hair with a towel. He glanced at the old Taoist.

"It's just been caught, and its wild nature hasn't been tamed yet. Don't tease it; if I'm not here, it really might tear you into husband-and-wife lung slices."

"How could it, how could it?"

The old Taoist smiled sheepishly.

In fact, he also had a rough idea in his mind that this civet had a bad temper, but it wasn't stupid. It wouldn't dare to kill people in the bookstore casually.

At this moment, a customer actually came to the bookstore.

A customer actually came!

Um,

Zhou Ze was a little puzzled.

Isn't it normal for customers to come to a store?

Why did I think "actually"?

The little monkey jumped under the sofa and hid from outsiders' view with the civet. In fact, the old Taoist had designed this place separately, with screens and other coverings next to it, because he knew that Zhou Ze liked to lie here reading the newspaper and drinking coffee, so he fenced it off separately to allow the boss to be more quiet.

The old Taoist went to greet the customers and served them two cups of coffee.

Zhou Ze took today's newspaper and went to the sofa to lie down.

After going to Yunnan, what Zhou Ze missed the most was this position.

Lying down comfortably, with the newspaper spread out, he didn't even need to really care about what the news on the newspaper was about. Just smelling the ink fragrance was already a kind of enjoyment.

Although Xu Qinglang's master's matter was still in front of him, it couldn't be rushed. He could only wait for Old Xu to find some more specific clues.

There will be plenty to be busy with in the future. The most important thing now is to relax and unwind.

"I'm telling you, this is our Cangzhou ancestral medicine, prepared according to an ancient recipe. You take it, and you definitely won't go wrong!"

Of the two customers, one shouted loudly to the other.

"But this is too expensive! I just want to ask if it can be cheaper?"

"Cheaper? I'm telling you, this isn't an industrial product that comes off an assembly line; how could it be cheaper?

Let's not even talk about the cost of the recipe, or what they call it nowadays... oh, right, a patent fee.

Just look at all the precious Chinese herbs that are added to it. Put your hand on your heart and calculate: can it be cheap?"

"But it's too expensive; it's not easy to distribute."

"How is that possible? This pill will definitely sell well. Men, who doesn't care about this? Who isn't willing to spend money on this?

When they're really horny, how many people can control themselves?"

"But it's too expensive."

"Bullshit, expensive my ass. This is an ancient recipe, a secret recipe. Cangzhou is the home of martial arts; you know that, right?

This is an ancient recipe that was preserved by a large family there. I spent a lot of money to get it.

This is really good stuff. Western medicine is harmful to the body; everyone knows that. But this thing is not only effective and harmless to the body; it can also nourish the body.

The person who gave me the recipe also said that Emperor Qianlong ate this every day. He was so lecherous, but he was able to live to be the Supreme Emperor, all thanks to this!"

The man spoke with great conviction,

Even dragging in ancient celebrities.

He was only short of printing "Treasures of the Imperial Household" on the boxes.

Zhou Ze shook his head as he listened. Generally speaking, sellers of antiques would pay attention to this, trying to attach a strange and wonderful story to the antiques in order to inflate their value.

If it could be connected to an ancient celebrity, even if it was based on rumors, it would be even better.

But even sellers of medicine were boasting like this.

It seems that times are really changing.

The old Taoist was also listening with his ears perked up. He also heard what was going on and probably knew what kind of medicine was being sold. He looked at his boss with some curiosity and flattered:

"Boss, I'll buy a few for you..."

Zhou Ze put down the newspaper

And looked at the old Taoist calmly.

"Buy a few for your men to use?"

Zhou Ze shook his head.

"Just tell me, after you eat it, will it have any effect?"

"Um... yes."

"Is the effect obvious?"

"Um... obvious."

"Isn't that good enough? Don't worry; those rich people are very willing to use this. They're not afraid of you being expensive; they're just afraid of you being cheap!

And look, those people who open adult goods stores have twenty pills in a box. Let me tell you about the cost: as long as they sell one pill, the remaining nineteen are all profit!

Even so, some people deliberately choose to buy the expensive ones. Why? They don't trust the cheap ones!

Everyone is afraid of harming their bodies after they're done having fun!

This thing isn't scary. After eating it, it's a tonic. While it's a tonic, it can also enhance yang, hardness, and duration. I'll guarantee you that there will definitely be a lot of people willing to spend money on this!

I'm in a hurry to go to the next place; otherwise, I wouldn't distribute it to you at such a low price."

"This... but... okay, fine. I'll take two."

"That's the spirit! That's how it should be!"

The man took out his satchel and pushed it in front of the other person.

"Okay, you transfer the money. I'll give you this bag too. The pill packaging box has the Chinese medicine ingredients printed on it. Take a good look at it yourself. When you sell it, contact me again to pick up the goods. I'll send them to you."

"Okay, the money has been transferred."

"Okay, great!"

The person who bought the goods left first, while the seller continued to sit there, checking his phone from time to time.

The old Taoist walked over and took the initiative to start a conversation with the man.

The old Taoist had traveled north and south for so many years and knew many dialects. He quickly started talking to the man in their hometown dialect.

Zhou Ze continued to read the newspaper.

After a quarter of an hour, that person also left, and the old Taoist came back.

"Damn it, I pretended to be a fellow villager with him for so long, and he only gave me a 20% discount."

The old Taoist was still holding a pill in his hand, which he must have bought from that person.

"Are you losing your strength?" Zhou Ze smiled.

"No, I'm just curious."

The old Taoist pursed his lips and placed the pill in front of Zhou Ze, pointing at it and saying:

"It sounds really mysterious; I don't know if it really has a nourishing effect."

What he specifically needed was definitely not a nourishing effect.

Zhou Ze glanced at the pill and asked:

"How much money?"

"Eight hundred," the old Taoist replied.

"How much does a pill of Viagra cost?"

"A few dozen yuan, maybe."

"Well, this is only worth a few dozen yuan."

"What?" The old Taoist couldn't believe it and asked, "But doesn't it also have that effect of helping with that... thing?"

Zhou Ze took the packaging bag from the old Taoist. It had some Chinese medicine ingredients written on it, such as wolfberries.

"Put some Chinese medicine that won't kill people together, then add half a pill or one pill of Viagra,

And that's what this thing is. The effect definitely won't be bad."

"Damn, you can play it like that?"

Zhou Ze used to be a doctor. Hearing the old Taoist's surprise, he smiled and said:

"Nowadays, a lot of Chinese medicine actually has prescription drugs added to it. The medicinal effect is still the effect of the prescription drugs, but with the added gimmick of a secret ancient recipe, its value suddenly increases tenfold or dozens of times.

It's for scamming idiots out of their money."
