Beautiful husband and wife in pastoral space

Chapter 251 Chapter 251: Selling Scorpions
On the second day, Nishang took her mother-in-law into the mountain.

On the third day, Nishang took her mother-in-law to Huayang Town.

There are a total of seven pharmacies in Huayang Town, among which the most famous and the best rated are "Liji pharmacy" and "Fangji pharmacy".

Nishang carried a small bamboo building on its back, and there were two small jars in the bamboo basket, each containing five scorpions.

This scorpion, after being raised by the little gold and silver in the space, and nourished by the aura of the space, is now three times its original size.

Now a scorpion looks like the size of a shrimp, Nishang thinks it should be able to sell for some money.

After asking Xiao Wu, Nishang knew that Li Ji and Fang Ji were the biggest in this town.

They went to Fangji Pharmacy first.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his 40s.Seeing a young man in Nishang bringing a woman, I thought it was the young man bringing his mother to see a doctor.

After Nishang explained what he came for, the man waved his hand impatiently, "No, you can go to another house and ask, I don't need that stuff in my family's medicinal materials."

"Boss, my scorpion is not an ordinary scorpion. It was fed by my father. It is very big and has high medicinal value. Now that my father is sick, I have no choice but to sell it for my Dad treats illnesses. You don’t have many chances, why don’t you take a look? If my dad finds out, he won’t let me sell it!”

Nishang made persistent efforts.

"Let's go, go out by yourself, don't let me drive people away, no need."

Nishang pursed her lips, nodded, and left with her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law took a look at Nishang and smiled faintly. After all, she suppressed her temper.

After inquiring all the way, they went to Liji Pharmacy.

In Li Ji's shop, there were several people waiting to get medicine and see a doctor, and Nishang also helped her mother-in-law to sit obediently and wait.

After the people who took the medicine had left, Nishang walked towards the shopkeeper in the counter and the doctor who was sitting in the hall.

It was an old man who looked five or six years old.

"Shopkeeper, do you want a scorpion here? I caught it on the mountain. It is a bit bigger than the average scorpion. My father kept it at home for a few months. Now that my father is sick, I will sell it."

The shopkeeper took a few glances at Nishang and shook his head, "I have stock here, so I don't want it for now."

Nishang showed a sad expression, "Aren't you really going to take a look?"

The boss was silent for a while, and said: "Take it out and let me have a look, just take one!"

"Okay!" Nishang suddenly showed a smile.

He quickly took out a small jar from the basket and placed it on the table.He opened the lid a little, took out two long bamboo sticks from the basket, stretched them in and picked one out.

The shopkeeper looked at it and was taken aback, "So big?"

Nishang nodded, "Yeah, I didn't know that scorpions could grow so big. When I saw it, I was shocked."

The boss quickly asked someone to bring out a basin and asked Nishang to put the scorpion in it.

He observed it carefully for a while, then nodded, "This is the emperor scorpion, a rare type, and the price is also very expensive."

"That's right, it seems that my father's illness can be cured with money. I wonder how much each scorpion can be sold for?"

The boss stroked his beard and said, "If it's for someone who needs it, it's no problem to sell it for eight hundred to one tael."

When Nishang heard this, a gleam of joy appeared on his face, "Thank you boss for letting me know, that's great, then I'll go to a few more pharmacies and ask more questions."

While talking, Nishang covered the small jar and was about to put it in the basket.

"Hey, little brother, wait a minute, how many do you have here?" The boss hurriedly organized Nishang.

"Five!" Nishang said.After the words fell, she wanted to put the jar in again.

"How about this, little brother, don't run away, keep these five of yours for me, and I will give you one tael of silver for each one." The boss said.

Nishang frowned, "I know the boss is a good person and wants to help me, but just now you said you have this thing, so forget it, I'll go to another pharmacy!"

The boss thought to himself, if he shows off this one in front of those idiots, he can sell it for at least two taels to five taels of silver.

Excluding the capital given to him, if you have five, you can earn five taels to 15 taels of silver.

How could he just slip away with the money he got!
"It's okay, little brother. After all, I'm in this town every day, and I have more connections than you. Stay here. I'll sell it, and it will save a lot of time than you who have no clue. You still have more free time." Go back and be with your father!" The boss waved his hand in a good-natured manner and said.

Nishang was a little moved, "Is this okay?"

"Well, pour it all out, count it, and I'll count the silver for you." The boss urged Nishang.

Nishang neatly poured all five of them into the basin.

The boss saw it, nodded, went to get five taels of silver and handed it to Nishang.

After Nishang took it, she handed it to her mother-in-law, "Mother, put it away!"

The mother-in-law happily took it and put it in the pocket of the inner coat.

Nishang said a few more words of thanks to the boss, put away the jar, put it in the basket, and was about to cover it with thatch and carry the basket.

The boss had sharp eyes and saw the same jar in Nishang's back basket as the one just now.

"Brother, is that also a scorpion?"

Nishang nodded, "Well, those five won't be sold anymore. With these five taels of silver, it's enough to treat my father's illness. Those who have to go back and let my father recover, continue to raise them, maybe they can grow bigger .”

The boss saw it and became anxious. Adding those five, he could earn ten to forty taels. How could he take it away so happily?

"Brother, do you think the price I gave is low? How about it, one scorpion, I will give you one tael. Ten scorpions are 12 taels in total. In addition to the five taels I gave you just now, I will give you seven taels ,what do you think?"

Nishang frowned and looked at her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law suppressed a smile in her heart, this young lady is too bad, comparable to the master.

After thinking about it, the mother-in-law nodded, "Son, forget it, the boss is a good person, let's sell it!"

Nishang nodded, and poured the five into the basin for the boss.

The boss counted them carefully, and after confirming that they were ten, he took another seven taels of silver and handed them to Nishang.

After Nishang took it, she handed it to her mother-in-law.

After the mother-in-law collected the money again, she thanked the boss repeatedly.

The boss waved his hand and told Nishang, "If you have such a big one in the future, send it over, and the price will be fixed at that time. If it is smaller than this, don't give it away."

"Okay, thank you Boss Li!" Nishang sincerely thanked the boss. Although he didn't know the reason why he changed his mind in the end, Nishang knew that he would definitely not lose money when he bought these ten scorpions.

When Nishang and her mother-in-law were sitting in the carriage on the return journey, the mother-in-law handed the money to Nishang.

Nishang chuckled, took it, Qi Liang threw it into the space while her mother-in-law wasn't paying attention, Xiao Yin took it away, and she put the remaining five Liang in the inner pocket of her clothes.
