Chapter 16 Price Increase
Chapter 16 Price Increase
Be careful.
Just as Li Yuangang finished paying the eight large coins and was about to enter Xiaolingfang, the burly man unexpectedly spoke up.
He was slightly taken aback. Was this a reminder of... the Wild Wolf Gang?
A smile quickly appeared on her face. "Thank you!"
The burly man nodded slightly, but did not speak again.
Upon entering Xiaolingfang, the scene remained bustling, seemingly unaffected by the news of the county soldiers' crushing defeat.
"Perhaps it's just a final burst of energy before death?"
Li Yuan thought to himself.
Once the county troops are completely routed, the outer city will be the first to suffer, and the wards within the outer city will be the ones to be affected. At that point, the fate of ordinary people will depend on the attitude of the rebels.
As for the inner city, with the natural barrier of the Baoshan River, towering city walls, and the experts from the county government and powerful families, it wouldn't be easy for the rebels to take it over.
"My brother, you've finally shown up! I was so worried!"
Just as Li Yuangang arrived at his previous spot, a figure hurriedly ran over from a distance, his eyes initially filled with shock, then surprise, and finally relief.
It was Huang Si.
"Something came up, and I was delayed for a while."
Li Yuan put down the sack in his hand and said calmly.
"I was terrified. I never expected they would hire the Wild Wolf Gang. You wouldn't believe it, but the Wild Wolf Gang has been guarding the entrance to Xiaolingfang for a while now."
He was absolutely terrified.
However, I'm not worried about Li Yuan.
Whether Li Yuan lives or dies has nothing to do with him. The key point is that he went on to learn martial arts after that day. He spent several days with a down-on-his-luck hunter, wasting countless hours of his breath, and finally spent a lot of money to get his hands on it.
Just as he was happily returning to Xiaolingfang, thinking about how to swindle money, he suddenly heard this news.
Suddenly, the sky seemed to collapse.
That was almost all of his possessions, but when he came back, the man was gone, and he didn't show up for a long time afterward. Do you think he wouldn't be scared to death?
As for selling it to others?
There are already few people who want to buy martial arts techniques and skills, and the prices are high. Of course, the most crucial point is that he has always sold fakes, so when he suddenly has real ones, people don't believe it.
This is also why they haven't been able to sell.
Just when I thought I was going to lose everything, Li Yuan showed up.
The moment he saw him, he really wanted to cry. Even his deceased father was no longer related to Li Yuanqin.
Thinking of this, he said impatiently, "I've acquired a martial arts technique!"
Did you really get it?
You've got some skills!
However, judging from his eagerness, Li Yuan had a pretty good idea of what was going on. Although he was surprised, he didn't show any change on the surface. "No rush, let me sell all these ointments first!"
"ah--"
Not urgent?
How could he not be anxious? This martial arts technique was a hot potato in his hands right now, and he wished Li Yuan would buy it immediately.
but--
"Okay, selling plasters is important."
He tried his best to maintain a friendly smile.
"You...you...you're not dead!"
Just then, a man pointed at Li Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.
Li Yuan merely glanced at him and said, "Even if your whole family's graves are overgrown with weeds, I won't die."
This man was the same troublemaker who had caused the disruption when he first sold the ointment.
"Hehe...doesn't it feel like you tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?"
Huang Si sneered, "You must have been extorted a lot of money by the Wild Wolf Gang, right?"
Two people died. It wasn't just Li Yuan who died; the several medicine merchants who employed them also suffered greatly, as they were ripped off by the Wild Wolf Gang. Otherwise, they wouldn't be alive today.
"Hmph, you just wait!"
The man stared at Li Yuan with a sinister look.
Because of him, several families lost a total of several dozen taels of silver. Now that Li Yuan is alright, he is naturally unwilling to accept it.
After he left, Huang Si also warned him, "They've definitely gone to the Wild Wolf Gang. Be careful when you go out."
"Um!"
Li Yuan nodded and continued to take the ointment out of the sack and arrange it. After a moment, he patted Huang Si and said, "Help me promote it. I haven't been here for so many days, and the regular customers don't even know."
"OK!"
Huang Si didn't refuse, still hoping that Li Yuan would buy his martial arts skills.
He cleared his throat and shouted, "The premium external injury ointment is back! Come and take a look, first come, first served!"
The last note was drawn out with a long, drawn-out tone.
And the notices were posted all the way along this street.
quickly!
People are coming!
"Young man, you've finally shown up."
"By the way, we've been waiting for so many days, we thought... haha..."
.....
More and more people gathered to watch, but Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry; the news spread quickly.
"My God, little brother, I've missed you so much."
It was that big hunter.
He was telling the truth; he missed Li Yuan terribly, and this ointment was really profitable.
With so many hunters in Baoshan County, the word about this ointment spread, and demand far exceeded supply.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan has not appeared for so long.
Adding to the news he heard, he thought... thank goodness!
"Hahaha...."
At this moment, Huang Si returned, panting. "You'll have to give me some big change to buy some wine later. My voice is almost hoarse."
"OK!"
Li Yuan waved his hand. He didn't care about the large sum of money; he was willing to work for him, and besides...
"I apologize, everyone. I've been held up by some things lately, but fortunately, I have a lot of ointment this time."
"But there's one thing..."
"With prices soaring, the cost of these medicinal herbs has also increased significantly, so..."
He paused deliberately, observing the expressions on everyone's faces.
"Young man, you're not going to raise the price, are you?"
Just then, someone spoke up.
Li Yuan was overjoyed. It was like someone offering him a pillow when he was sleepy. This person was so adorable.
He then feigned helplessness, first letting out a deep sigh, "There's nothing I can do. The price of medicinal herbs has gone up too much. If it were ten coins a pack, I would lose money, so there's no point in selling them anymore."
"Young man, how much do you sell a pack for now?"
The hunter man was the most anxious now; he was essentially a middleman, buying the goods and reselling them to the other hunters.
"Twenty coins a pack, that's the lowest price."
After much anticipation, Li Yuan finally announced the price.
With prices soaring these days, corn noodles alone have increased several times in price, while his price has only doubled. Isn't that a sign of conscience?
Of course, the two have different attributes; cornmeal and similar products are daily necessities.
The ointment is not.
"What? The price has doubled!"
"Your price has increased way too much!"
"A few big price increases would be fine, but you can't afford it anymore..."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
But one thing is certain: even so, not a single person left.
Li Yuan immediately understood.
"Young man, can you give me a discount if I buy more?" the hunter asked in a deep voice, looking at the medicine packets laid out on the ground.
Even if you buy it for twenty coins, you can still make a profit, and the price is going to go up!
