Chapter 523: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
"I didn't mean to say that. It was just a gust of wind that blew over me..."
Jiang Yueshu: "..."
She complained about the herbal medicine stall owner's cold joke in her heart, but pretended to be extremely angry on her face.
"What? You actually eavesdropped? That's our privacy!"
"Sorry, sir, I can compensate you!"
Boss Ma took out the 10 gold coins that Jiang Yueshu had just handed to him and handed them to Jiang Yueshu.
Jiang Yueshu: "..."
Businessmen are smart!
If you throw hundreds of gold coins at her, she will immediately lower her head!
What a pity... I was so stingy, only giving you 10 gold coins!
Jiang Yueshu didn't answer and replied in a cold voice.
"No need, we don't have such plans, you heard it wrong, so naturally you don't need to compensate!"
Seeing this, Boss Ma became more certain of his guess.
He stubbornly placed the ten gold coins in front of Jiang Yueshu, without saying whether he believed it or not, but smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you the bag of grass seeds. I won't charge you, just be friends."
Jiang Yueshu looked at him several times before accepting the item.
"What do you want to do?"
Boss Ma smiled and said, "Nothing much, it's just... I'm a very enthusiastic person. When I saw that you two wanted to open a store, I was going to give you some advice."
Jiang Yueshu paused, and this time she no longer denied that she was not planning to open a store.
"You two...are not ordinary people, right?"
The two didn't say anything, they just responded silently in their hearts.
We are just ordinary people...
No one responded, and Boss Ma continued talking to the two of them.
"It's actually not easy to run a shop or a small stall. In addition to dealing with all kinds of customers, we also have to face frequent patrols, inspections and supervision by law enforcement officers of the island gathering. These all require us to sacrifice a lot of turnover, and after the island gathering is over, part of our turnover will also be deducted..."
"Isn't it the same in every shop and stall here? Do you think the boss has never asked about this?"
Jiang Yueshu crossed her arms across her chest, seeming to be sizing up Boss Ma.
You will naturally know this information as long as you read the market management rules manual and then go to the law enforcement hall to inquire.
Boss Ma nodded gently. "Indeed, it seems that you have done your homework. But the two of you are dressed like this... In addition to wanting to avoid certain rules, your identities must also be different. Could it be... that you are disciples of a certain master?"
Jiang Yueshu tilted her head and asked, "Boss, do you need to ask the guest's identity when you treat him?"
A look of understanding flashed across Boss Ma's eyes, and he continued with confidence.
"Masters and their disciples cannot rent land in the periphery and can only trade in the central square. The reason you are doing this... is because you are afraid of being discovered, right? Having a source of fresh herbs is not uncommon for Master Yuanyuan and Master Miaoshou. Could it be that... you two are disciples of someone?"
Jiang Yueshu: Thank you, thank you for making up an identity for me.
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yueshu's body suddenly paused, and she was quite angry and embarrassed that her identity was exposed.
"That batch of fresh herbs...I want it!"
"You want to have sex for nothing?"
Jiang Yueshu clenched her fists angrily.
"No, I'm here to buy some goods." Boss Ma shook his head. "Since you are my disciple, I naturally want to make some good friends with you. I still have to rely on you two masters for my herbs and special purification plants!"
"Purchase...how would you like to bid?"
Jiang Yueshu relaxed and seemed to be interested in this topic.
"...How about you four and I six? After all... you don't need to sell in person, and you can also avoid the gold coins consumed by the law enforcers patrolling."
Boss Ma originally wanted to lower the price, but then he thought, everyone is engaged in herbal plant cultivation, and everyone knows the cost.
If he made a random offer, the other party would think he was insincere. Not opening a small stall would be a small matter, but what if someone deliberately spoke ill of him in front of the two masters?
Forty-six points?
Jiang Yueshu pondered this ratio. Although he didn't know how much he could earn from one herb, this ratio was indeed not too bad.
Moreover, after opening a stall, the sales revenue to be handed over plus the daily patrols by law enforcement officers all cost money.
"What's your last name, boss?"
Boss Ma was delighted and immediately smiled kindly, "My last name is Ma!"
"Boss Ma, happy cooperation!"
Lu Hansheng stretched out his hand and shook it without saying a word.
"Okay, happy cooperation!"
Although he didn't know what the two were talking about, he already knew the general script and he could follow it.
"Then this herb..."
"Boss Ma, don't be impatient. We don't want to cause any trouble, so we are willing to cooperate with you, but if you... are not sincere, then we can always find someone else to cooperate with! Of course, all this is thanks to Boss Ma for coming and giving me such a good idea."
Jiang Yueshu waved her hand.
Boss Ma: “!!!”
I'm sweating profusely!
Yes, how could he have overlooked a question just now——
If the master's disciples can find him to cooperate in selling herbs, then they can also find other people to support them...
"Of course, of course. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"
Boss Ma wiped the non-existent sweat off his face, took out a purse from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Hansheng's hand.
Lu Hansheng opened it and saw 100 shiny gold coins.
He didn't say anything, but just looked at Boss Ma with an unclear look.
Boss Ma felt a little guilty. "I'm sorry. I didn't know your identities just now, so I gave you 10 gold coins. That bag of grass seeds is only worth 1 gold coin. I'm really sorry..."
Lu Hansheng: "!!!"
Jiang Yueshu: “!!!”
You have guts!
The price has increased tenfold!
"Boss Ma, wait a moment!"
Jiang Yueshu glanced at Lu Hansheng and walked towards a more remote corner.
Lu Hansheng understood, and he stared at Boss Ma without blinking.
After a while, Jiang Yueshu's voice came.
"Boss Ma!"
Lu Hansheng then looked at Boss Ma, "Please!"
Boss Ma nodded with great honor, "Okay."
As soon as I turned a corner, a vast expanse of lush greenery appeared before my eyes. It turned out to be a large medicinal field.
Boss Ma looked at the various herbs that were growing vigorously and well cultivated, his mouth wide open in shock.
When he saw the dark-colored soil again, he was even more shocked.
"There aren't many of each herb, I only sell one."
Jiang Yueshu pointed at the herbs and gave instructions to Boss Ma.
"Talk about the price first and then pick up the goods. This is my rule!"
"Good good!"
Boss Ma looked at the herb garden with shining eyes, "Then I'll calculate it for you now!"
He took something out of his pocket, scanned the medicine garden, and immediately obtained the transaction amount.
Jiang Yueshu had calculated it in advance, and when she heard the number he reported was correct, she nodded.
"continue."
"That's about 966 gold coins. This thing is well cultivated, so I'll give you 1000 gold coins!"
Boss Ma looked at the medicine garden excitedly and started taking money out of his pocket.
Lu Hansheng was stunned with shock. If he hadn't been wearing sunglasses and a mask, he might have been seen by Boss Ma.
And...1000 gold coins!
The owner of this herbal medicine stall was able to take it out so easily, how rich must he be!
Jiang Yueshu was also a little surprised. This Boss Ma... is not simple!
But there is a reason why her herbs grow so well.
Ever since the end of the second battle against sea pollution beasts, Huahua messed up Lu Hansheng's farm bead and pulled a lot of "fertilizer" into it, and the farm bead gradually changed.
The ordinary vegetables and fruits have all changed into enlarged versions, as if through genetic mutation. For example, a grape has now become about the size of an egg...
When they eat grapes, they can't pick them by whole bunches, they basically pick them one by one.
Even the leaves, two or three large leaves are enough to stir-fry a vegetarian dish.
In addition to changes in appearance, vegetables, fruits and melons also seem to taste better.
Since then, the agricultural planting beads of several of them have all been adjusted. One is responsible for growing fruits and vegetables, one is responsible for growing herbs, and one is responsible for growing special purification plants. As for the rest of the agricultural planting beads, it depends on personal preference.
As for the soil in the first three agricultural beads, they specially pulled flowers to produce fertilizer.
Except for the fact that the growth of special purification plants is not so exaggerated, today's vegetable gardens and medicinal gardens have undergone tremendous changes.
Now Boss Ma was naturally surprised when he saw them. These herbs were very old and had extremely high medicinal value!
After counting the gold coins, Boss Ma immediately took out a small medicine shovel and began to carefully dig out the medicinal materials according to Jiang Yueshu's instructions.
Jiang Yueshu asked him for a small medicine shovel and started to help dig the herbs. Lu Hansheng stood not far away, keeping watch for the two of them.
Looking at Jiang Yueshu's skillful and neat movements, Boss Ma's guess was confirmed. She must be a disciple of Master Yuanyuan or Master Miaoshou!
He did not dare to delay and quickly harvested the herbs.
Both of them were experts in tending to herbs, and they finished collecting all the herbs in just over ten minutes.
"Thank you both for your willingness to cooperate with me. If you need herbs of this quality in the future, you can come to me again!"
"Of course." Jiang Yueshu nodded.
"That is..." Boss Ma hesitated, "What are your names?"
"Just call me Thirteen."
Jiang Yueshu started to introduce herself, but Lu Hansheng said nothing at all.
Boss Ma didn't mind and looked at "Thirteen". "Miss Thirteen, since you have this kind of common herbs here, do you have any plants with special purification values?"
Thirteen shook his head and chuckled.
"The rosemary on your stall is of poor quality, but you can still sell it for 150 gold coins. I'm afraid you want to sell it to others, but you don't want to sell it at a low price. I'm losing money by selling you the rosemary grown with micro-ecological balls!"
Boss Ma smiled awkwardly, "I am short-sighted and not skilled enough, and I made a fool of myself in front of you two! But... can you let me see the rosemary? If Miss Thirteen is interested, how many gold coins would be appropriate?"
How many gold coins?
Jiang Yueshu compared the effects of rosemary and ordinary herbs in her mind, and found that the two were simply incomparable.
Moreover, it takes a long time to cultivate rosemary or purify aquatic plants unless plant growth liquid is continuously added during the process.
Even if she wanted to cultivate these two plants well, she had to find a way to ask Huahua to make fertilizer. She really couldn't bear to sell them.
As for the rosemary on Boss Ma's stall, its petals had fallen and its efficacy was diminished. I'm afraid it could only be used as a protective shield for more than ten minutes.
That horse owner dared to sell it for 150 gold coins, Jiang Yueshu felt that he should at least ask for a thousand gold coins.
Jiang Yueshu nodded: "I can take a look, but do you want to ask Boss Ma for some grass seeds?"
"What kind of grass?" Boss Ma felt uneasy.
Jiang Yueshu: "Of course it's rosemary and purifying water plants!"
"This..." Boss Ma hesitated. "These two kinds of grass are sold by the piece, which shows how precious they are. How much do you want?"
"Boss Ma, you are really joking. Grass seeds are not precious at all. The important thing is to be able to cultivate them. Otherwise, the grass seeds will be wasted. For these two special purification plants to reach maturity, they either need time or need to be continuously watered with good fertilizers and plant growth liquid. Which one is more precious, Boss Ma, should know better than me, right?"
Jiang Yueshu tilted her head and looked at him.
Boss Ma hesitated for a long time before he smiled again.
"Miss Thirteen is right. Then 10 seeds of each of these two things, is that enough?"
"Thank you, Boss Ma!"
Boss Ma took out 10 rosemary flowers and 10 water-purifying grass seeds from his space bag and handed them to Lu Hansheng.
Jiang Yueshu stuffed the purse containing 100 gold coins that he had given her earlier into Boss Ma's hands before taking out the micro eco-sphere.
Boss Ma stared at the eco-ball, looking at the beautiful transparent flowers inside, which were plump and gorgeous, and finally put aside the last bit of doubt.
"Okay, Miss Thirteen, if you need further cooperation, you can come to me first!"
"nature."
Boss Ma took out a lunch box of the same type as Master Kong Kong’s, put all the herbs in it, and then left with Lu Hansheng’s farewell.
After the human figures disappeared, Jiang Yueshu took out the Star Moon Grass seeds, quickly planted them in the medicine garden, and took some water from the space bag to water them.
In just a short while, the herbs that had been dug up and left only their roots slowly took root and sprouted, growing quietly.
After collecting the planting beads for the medicine garden, Jiang Yueshu took out the planting beads for planting special purifying plants, and also planted the seeds of rosemary and purifying water plants.
"Oh my god! We made 1000 gold coins so quickly?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Hansheng excitedly took off his mask and shouted.
"I think that Boss Ma has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. This deal may not last long."
Jiang Yueshu sighed.
"It's okay, this one order is amazing, it's 1000 gold coins!"
Lu Hansheng was extremely excited, like an old country bumpkin who had never seen a gold coin.
"Hi!"
The two were whispering here, and someone not far away was waving and shouting towards them.
The two were stunned, took out their binoculars and looked, then shook their heads.
"Who is this? I don't know him."
When the man saw Jiang Yueshu and the other person turned around, he immediately ran over here.
