Using the system to raise beautiful, strong and miserable villains

Chapter 40: Good guy, even shit daddy is precious

"Hmph!" Shopkeeper Ma flicked his sleeves and lit the bunch of candied haws, "Little girl, if you take care of such a big bunch of purple scorpions, one of them can be sold for three to five hundred yuan. do you know?"

Li Zhao shook his head and said confidently, "I don't know." If she knew, she would definitely get into trouble! "Oh, let's not talk about anything else. Grandpa Ma, just tell me, how many of these do you want now?"

The old man choked and rolled his eyes, "Now what? Huh! You are not easy to deal with, and the air-drying is not good. The poison sacs have been destroyed. It is so damn powerful that I will give you ten cents a piece at most."

"Three to five hundred cents will be directly reduced to ten cents. Grandpa Ma, you are so evil!"

"Little bastard, who's evil? It's obvious that you have this treasure for nothing and don't know how to cherish it! I'm mad at you, that's all. I don't care about you two dolls, Mao Gen..." The old man was so angry that his beard was about to stand up. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't bear to be angry. I put down the scorpion skewer in pain and slapped the counter. I looked at the boy at the counter and ordered, "Get a book of Treasures of the Wasteland."

The white-faced boy named Mao Gen took a blue-covered book from the cabinet and handed it over, about half a finger thick.

Shopkeeper Ma grabbed the book and stuffed it into Li Zhao's arms unceremoniously.

"That's all. Today, I will send you my kindness and be a good person. I will give you brothers and sisters a book of treasures in the wasteland for free. It records more than hundreds of good things in my wasteland, and details the locations, characteristics of the treasures, and how to deal with them. , everything is available. Normally, this book costs one or two silver a book. Today, for the sake of your young age, I will give you a copy. If you have something good in the future, don’t waste it. Just take it. Come and find me, I will give you a good price and I won’t treat you badly.”

Hearing this, Li Zhao felt as if he had found a treasure, "Thank you, Grandpa Ma. You are so kind, Grandpa Ma. Since Grandpa Ma is so generous, then this string of scorpions will be settled as Grandpa Ma said." , quickly opened the book in his hand and looked at it. His little paws were waving, but he was immersed in this book of treasures.

Chen Xi looked at Li Zhao with a faint smile. The sound of counting on the cabinet and the crackle of abacus beads started again. Li Zhao turned the first page and saw the familiar ugly bug. He was surprised. Then he looked down and saw the key point. At this place, Li Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Go ahead, I have this thing!" Li Zhao poked his hand on the page of the book and looked at shopkeeper Ma, "Grandpa Ma, is the source of the insect repellent powder mentioned in the book true?"

"Little girl, you have 84 low-grade purple scorpions here, totaling 84 coins, including giant palm needles, which are 18 taels and 560 four coins. I will bring you 18 taels of silver and 560 four coins..."

Shopkeeper Ma, who was settling accounts, paused. Both parties spoke in unison, and then stopped at the same time because of each other's words.

Li Zhao's thoughts shifted instantly: plus the first 15 taels, he would have more than 30 taels of silver. According to the current price situation, he and Brother Seventeen can live very comfortably in this wasteland city.

Shopkeeper Ma's thoughts were instantly brought back: What does the little girl mean by this?
Stopping fiddling with the abacus, Shopkeeper Ma looked at Li Zhao from head to toe with a solemn expression. His eyes fell on the book that was lit with her little paws. Shopkeeper Ma turned serious, bent down and approached Li Zhao, and lowered his voice and said seriously. .

"Little girl, why do you ask this? Is it possible that you still have this thing in your hand?" His eyes gently fell on Li Zhao's finger.

Li Zhao: "Yeah, I have it. Not only that, I also have a lot..."

"Xiao Zhao, silence!"

The old man Shen Xi on the side looked at him with something wrong, so he quickly stopped him.

If there was anything he didn't understand about this situation, Shen Xi looked solemn.

However, Shopkeeper Ma felt that his heart was pounding, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk, let's talk among ourselves." Shopkeeper Ma stretched out his hand to pull someone, and Li Zhao was a little anxious when he was dragged away, and continued She was struggling, not because she was afraid that Shopkeeper Ma would harm her, but because Shen Xi, who was struggling to come over with a frown on his back and a look of concern on his face, was resisted by Li Zhao, "Brother, my brother, and my brother..."

Shopkeeper Ma paused, glanced at Mao Gen and immediately ordered, "Mao Gen, bring this person in, and serve some good tea."

Seeing Mao Gen responded, came out, hugged his own brother and followed him, Li Zhao stopped struggling and followed the footsteps of the somewhat eager old man into the back hall.

When the curtain was almost lowered, the old man couldn't hold it in anymore. He took two deep breaths and looked at Li Zhao as if he were looking at a treasure. His turbid and yellow eyes stared at Li Zhao.

"Okay, little girl, you said just now that you have a lot of black gold that can be used as insect repellent powder, right? How much do you have? Do you have it with you? Show it to Grandpa Ma. Don't worry, Grandpa Ma will never treat you brothers and sisters badly."

Li Zhao moved to Shen Xi, who was placed in the elegant seat by Mao Gen. The two looked at each other with guarded eyes.

But looking at the grumpy old man and thinking about the transaction just now, he didn't deceive him at all and was upright. Li Zhao's heart was tilted again. He leaned into Shen Xi's ear and whispered for help.

"Brother Seventeen, what do you think?"

Shen Xi, who was tense all over, groaned.

He believed that he had read countless people and had met all kinds of people. The old man in front of him looked harmless, but he couldn't be completely sure. After all, he couldn't protect himself and the child in his current state.

Seeing the other party's expression of eagerness, it can be seen that the black gold in their hands is of high value. The previous transaction was honest, and perhaps the amount was small, so the other party could not tamper with it. If they encountered a treasure, they would not be able to protect it all...

Shopkeeper Ma looked at the appearance of the siblings and couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"Why, are you still on guard against me? Don't worry, Wanli Commercial Bank has a good reputation over the years. It will never bully the weak and will never bully the weak. No matter how valuable this black gold is, I won't rob it. I can do it with silver. The things I mentioned are nothing. My boss, who is thousands of miles away, is as rich as anyone in the country. It’s just a black gold. It’s not like he can’t buy it, so he can’t do anything dirty. You two little guys! You think too much! Besides, you think I’m like The person behind it?"

Li Zhao wanted to nod, after all, what he said was good, he knew people well and knew their faces but not their hearts.

I was annoyed that these two children didn't believe me. When I turned around and thought about the situation of these two children, I felt a little softer.

Shopkeeper Ma sat down sadly, put aside his eagerness, and said calmly: "That's all, I can understand you two if you don't believe me. After all, this is our first time meeting each other, but boy, little girl, because I gave you the Baibaolu, for the sake of The transaction I just made was honest and fair, and for the sake of yourselves saying that you will send me good things, tell me the truth, you also have this black gold in your hands, right?"

Seeing that the crippled boy who was obviously the one behind the scenes was shaking his head, Shopkeeper Ma quickly added.

"Hey, brat, don't shake your head in a hurry. Now, I won't ask you how many you have or where to put them. Just tell me if you have them. If so, I will give you a fair price and I will never bully you. And The time and place of the transaction are all decided by you, how about it?"

It would not be impossible if they were allowed to decide the trading place and time themselves.
