Chapter 907: Blessed

When Lu Zhaoling heard that the shopkeeper wanted to give the small scent ball to her, she laughed and waved her hands repeatedly.

"That's so embarrassing."

She put all these things back into the small wooden box one by one and said, "Shopkeeper, please name a price. I want all these things."

"what?"

The shopkeeper's voice suddenly rose, abruptly and a little sharp.

He was startled himself, and quickly lowered his voice and coughed.

"Girl, if you buy these things, I will definitely be very happy, but I can't lie to you. These are not new things. As I said just now, I also bought them from others."

"So, I don't know who these things originally belonged to or who used them. Look at the hand mirror, it's a bit dusty. I didn't clean it on purpose because I didn't want to deceive anyone."

"I have no idea who used it before and how they used it. But I was a little excited when I accepted these things. I was also thinking of helping my friends, so I gave a lot of money."

"To put it bluntly, now that I think about it, these things are not worth that much. If I sell them to you, I don't want to sell them at a loss, so, haha, this..."

The shopkeeper said the latter part, clapped his hands and smiled a little embarrassedly.

He told the truth and had no intention of lowering the price for Lu Zhaoling.

Just now he said he would give her a small scent ball, but he didn't expect Lu Zhaoling to really buy it. He thought that with the money earned from the yellow paper and cinnabar, it would not be a loss to stick a small scent ball on it.

Besides, this little scent ball has stains.

"I really don't know when I'll see customers again if I keep these things here."

Lu Zhaoling said, "Even if I can find them, they may not buy them all. So, shopkeeper, you should cherish me as a customer. Tell me, how much silver is the total?"

"As for whether they are cost-effective or not, it's okay, I can take responsibility for it myself."

Seeing that Lu Zhaoling was really going to buy these things, the shopkeeper was so happy that his heart was bubbling with joy.

If he can sell these, he will be able to stand up straight when he returns home, and his wife will definitely be very happy.

"This little wooden box is worth quite a bit of money, so I'll sell it to you too, young lady. It's seventeen taels in total."

"What? These old things cost seventeen taels?" Gan Zhenning couldn't believe it and immediately exclaimed. "Shopkeeper, don't think they are asking for so much just because they are not from Shuning City!"

She straightened her back and said, "My last name is Gan, and I am from Shu Ning City. If you make an unreasonable offer, I will not forgive you."

They are really all things that I don’t know who has used them.

It doesn't seem possible to be so expensive!

"I'll show you the records of how much I paid for these things, okay?"

The shopkeeper turned around and went back in, and quickly came out with a piece of paper.

Unfold the paper in front of them.

That is a receipt, which states how many items were received, what kind of items were received, and how much money was paid.

"It was thirteen taels when I collected it," said the shopkeeper.

"Thirteen taels, you're selling for seventeen taels?" Gan Zhenning immediately started to bargain. "You can't sell these things, they are unsalable goods, sitting at the bottom of the shelf and no one wants them, so you can only lower the price."

Their business also has this. If something cannot be sold, the price must be lowered, or something will be given away for free with a purchase.

"Now not only are you not lowering the price, you're also trying to make four taels?"

Making four taels of silver from these old items is really a bit too much, right?

"Girl, I run a shop, don't I have to make a living? I must make some money."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Since this girl wants to buy all of them, I will lower the price a little bit. How about fifteen taels?"

He was a little greedy. At first, he thought that as long as Lu Zhaoling wanted to buy, he would sell it even if it meant losing money. As long as he could sell it, he would reduce his losses.

But when he saw that Lu Zhaoling wanted them all, his heart became lively again.

It’s better to make a little profit than to lose a little, right?

"Fourteen taels, I took it all." Lu Zhaoling said.

If it weren't for her, the shopkeeper would have lost the thirteen taels in vain.

Now I get the thirteen taels back and earn another tael, that's enough.

She suspected that the shopkeeper's bottom line was thirteen taels, so when he heard her say that, he was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he immediately made the decision.

"Okay! Sell it to the girl!"

Gan Zhenning also felt that the shopkeeper should be a little anxious.

I guess they would have been willing to sell it for thirteen taels, so it would be great if we could get back the original price.

In her opinion, these things are useless.

But since Lu Zhaoling was willing to buy it, she naturally couldn't say anything.

"Including the yellow paper and cinnabar, the total will be sixteen taels, young lady."

Three taels of cinnabar yellow paper is a lot.

"Qingyin pays."

After buying the things, the shopkeeper smiled so much that his wrinkles were smoothed out.

He sent Lu Zhaoling and the others outside the shop and said, "Have a nice day, young lady."

After the carriage drove away for a while, he was still standing there waving his hands.

That’s great. When he goes home today, he can straighten his back in front of his wife!

"Boss, can you sell me a few of your sachets for a cheap price?" A young man in military uniform hurried over.

The shopkeeper took a closer look and asked, "You again?"

This little soldier has been here before.

"You looked at my little sachets before and said they weren't amulets, so they must have no effect, right?"

The shopkeeper frowned, "I told you it's ineffective, why are you still buying it?"

The little soldier looked a little anxious.

"Didn't you say it was blessed? It should have some effect, right?"

He asked the question uncertainly.

"Well, to be honest, I know that, too." The shopkeeper spread his hands. "It's been blessed, I didn't lie to you, but how can I guarantee that this can guarantee safety?"

He didn't want to lie, "Brother, you know this kind of thing can only be used to buy comfort, how can it really guarantee safety?"

"Even if you go to a temple to ask for amulets, it's hard to say whether they can really keep you safe..."

The boy interrupted him, "No, there really is amulets that can keep you safe, you just haven't seen one."

"Okay, okay, I don't know."

The shopkeeper didn't want to argue with him, "So do you want to buy the sachet now?"

"I only have a hundred bucks, can I..."

"I'll sell you three." The shopkeeper said. "Don't think it's too expensive. Although I don't know whether it can really bring safety, the embroidery is excellent, and it is really blessed. I should be charged for the effort I put in, right?"

"How about eight?" The young man lowered his head and took out a hundred dollars.

"Eight? I'll be at a loss then!" The shopkeeper waved his hand, "I can't sell them."

"Then six! Six will do, right?"

"What do you need so many sachets for? You only have this little money left. Why don't you use it to buy yourself a pair of thick shoes?" The shopkeeper pointed at his feet.

The boy's shoes all had holes in them.
