Regardless of whether Tang Zhen agrees or disagrees, Su Chen's trip to the Crimson Mountains is a foregone conclusion, and he can only accept it.
The only thing Tang Zhen could do was to teach Su Chen all kinds of knowledge he knew as much as possible.
In order to prevent others from knowing about Su Chen Fuming, Tang Zhen went up and down the Yuzhen Pavilion personally, brought all kinds of harvested herbs for Su Chen, taught him how to recognize and appreciate them, and told him the differences between true and false and how to use them.
The big shopkeeper taught everything he knew without reservation. For him, every time Su Chen knew a little more, he would improve his chances of survival.
One is serious in teaching, one is hard in learning, time is fast, and one day passes quickly.
In the attic, the gilt gilt clock with the eight treasures of beasts and cloud pattern rang with the sound of chime, which means that the busy day is coming to an end.
Tang Zhen said: "Okay, I will be here today, come here early tomorrow, continue to study, you stay and review the things I taught you a few times, and I will go back first."
Tang Zhen's work and rest habits have always been punctual, and as the chief treasurer, he could indeed go back earlier than others.
After going downstairs and confessing to the guys, Tang Zhen left on his own.
Su Chen was upstairs alone, constantly looking at the treasures inside the building.
This is the homework that Tang Zhen left him.
While I was looking closely, I suddenly heard someone outside say: "Master, there is a sale coming downstairs, the third shopkeeper, please go down and get an idea."
"What kind of business, the third shopkeeper can't be the master, want me to make a decision? Where's the second shopkeeper?" Su Chen was slightly surprised.
"It's a beast-repellent medicine. The other party's asking price is a bit high. The second shopkeeper didn't buy the goods, and the big shopkeeper just left. The third shopkeeper is not easy to be alone, so I can only ask the young master what he means." The guy replied.
Elixir of beasts
Su Chen was taken aback.
This is a good thing.
Beast expelling potion is a very rare and precious potion, it can exude a special taste. People smell this kind of scent, but when the beast smells it, it will only feel a strange smell, even nausea and vomiting, so it can be avoided. As long as this medicine is applied to the body, no fierce beast will be willing to care for this person within three days.
Although Su Chen entered the Crimson Mountains to hunt down the fierce beasts, he was not in the end to send him to death. With this thing present, as long as it is wiped in the moment of danger, as long as it is not a deep hatred, even the fierce beasts who are hunting him will abandon Su Chen. It is a life-saving medicine.
However, it is extremely difficult to make a beast-repelling potion. Ordinary pharmacists can't make it. Only a specialized source pharmacist can refine it. Even so, it requires a lot of resources and time, and it is not even everyone can do it, so the price is extremely high, and there is no market for it.
Unexpectedly, someone would sell it today.
Su Chen naturally became interested, and said, "Please come up."
Beast expelling potions are precious items, so naturally they will not be discussed downstairs, but will go straight to the three-story Accord.
Su Chen waited at the Accord. After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps. Lou Yi entered first, followed by a thin middle-aged man, his eyes slippery, and he looked around as soon as he entered the Accord.
Su Chen didn't like it, his face was calm, and he smiled and said: "But the shopkeeper and the guests are here, please sit down. Su Chen who is blind, he is not good at hospitality, please forgive me for being rude. Xiangsui, serve tea."
Lou Yi said: "Master, don't bother, I can take care of it here."
It happened that the maid named Xiangsui came over with tea, Lou Yi took it, and waved his hand to let the maid exit. Only Su Chen, Lou Yi and the thin man were left in the Accord.
Here Lou Yi sat down with the thin man. When the man sat down, he was curious and waved in front of Su Chen's eyes. He seemed to be trying to see if he could see, but Lou Yi pushed him and stared fiercely. He glanced at him, obviously reprimanding him for being rude to the young master, but the man shrugged indifferently, his lips squirmed a few times, there was no sound, but he could see that he was dissatisfied.
The actions between the two immediately aroused Su Chen's suspicion.
Lou Yi and this person seem to have known each other a long time ago
The man here sat down and said to Su Chen: "This is Master Su, right? My name is Zhao Si, and I sell the beast-repelling potions. I like to be straightforward, and 800 taels of pure gold can be taken away. I also have a picture of Li Chunyuan's idlers in the bamboo forest, a glazed bowl from the glorious dynasty period, which I shot together."
He said that he had taken out a picture from his carry-on package, and a glass bowl came and placed it on the table.
Xu knew that Su Chen couldn't see it, and didn't even bother to open it up in front of Su Chen.
"The third shopkeeper, what do you think?" Su Chen looked at Lou Yi.
I saw Lou Yi’s answer: “The little one has seen it downstairs just now. The bamboo forest idler picture and the colored glass bowl are all genuine products. The animal repellent has not been tested yet. False. It means that the amount required is a bit high. When the three things are added together, it requires two thousand taels of pure gold, and it is not just for sale."
Zhao Si already smiled and said, "It's not easy to try. Now that the weather is getting hot and there are more mosquitoes, let you see the power of this animal repellent."
When he said that he had opened the potion bottle, he saw the mosquitoes and flies that were originally flying in the Accord, all of a sudden, there was no mosquito in the room.
Zhao Siyang triumphantly said: "Although Master Su can't see it, the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies can always be heard. Master Su, do you hear the sound of mosquitoes and flies now?"
"It's really gone." Su Chen replied with a smile on his face, but his heart sank slightly.
He didn't understand antiquities. Although he had studied with Tang Zhen for a while, he still couldn't distinguish between true and false. So he doesn't know whether the bamboo forest idler picture and the colored glass bowl are real or not, but Lou Yi's previous words obviously pretended not to know the seller.
As for the animal repellent, it seemed to have an effect, but Su Chen knew very well that there is another medicine in the world called mosquito repellent, which can also achieve the effect just now, but the price is a hundred times cheaper. But the most important thing is that the potion that the man opened just now was not the bottle he had previously held.
In other words, he planned to sell it to Su Chen, not even a mosquito repellent.
A scam!
Su Chen understood immediately.
To be honest, this scam is not clever, but it's just using some fakes to deceive the store. In what year should you not encounter a treasure shop? But the nature of colluding with people in the shop to sell fakes is completely different.
But because they only regarded Su Chen as a blind man, they didn't even bother to do a lot of tricks, so that the deception didn't even deceive Su Chen for a second, so Su Chen saw it through.
Sure enough to be blind, but can see more.
Su Chen sneered in his heart, and said in his mouth: "It really is a beast-repellent potion, which is really great. As for the two ancient relics, there is a shopkeeper in the building, I can naturally believe it. It is the price..."
Su Chen hesitated on purpose.
Zhao Sibian said, "I think the Fourth Young Master is also a refreshing person. If you want to, you can get one thousand eight hundred taels of pure gold."
Su Chen shook his head: "I do like it very much, but there is not so much money left in Yuzhen Pavilion. I think you might as well come back tomorrow. I will prepare the pure gold and buy it again."
Zhao Si immediately shook his head: "No, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to spend money, otherwise I won't sell this family treasure. I can't wait for tomorrow."
Is it really unwilling to wait? When the other party deliberately chose this time, the big shopkeeper has already returned, the second shopkeeper is not there, and the third shopkeeper is in charge, and then he will deceive himself.
That is to say, this matter has nothing to do with other people, only Lou Yi participated in it
That's good.
Su Chen was determined in his heart, and continued: "But now I can't get so much money in the building. Can I just buy one?"
"No, if you want to buy three pieces together. If you don't have enough money, you can use some of the resources instead. Anyway, I want the money to buy some spiritual resources." The middle-aged man replied.
Think about everything. If you don't have enough money, you can use resources to pay for it, and you can use animal-repellent potions as bait.
If you want to get the beast-repellent potion, you must buy the other two fakes, which will cause even greater losses.
Yes, this must be the ghost of Yan Wushuang. Knowing that I was going to the Crimson Mountains during the day, I took out the fake beast-repellent potion at night, trying to use my life-saving psychology, coupled with the inside and outside of the shopkeeper, to complete this scam.
To be honest, this already meets the two basic characteristics of a successful scam. First, the user needs have been identified. Second, there are insiders to help.
The only thing they failed was a major flaw in the implementation, because they didn't know that Su Chen had seen his eyes early, which led to the scam being easily revealed.
Thinking of this, Su Chen sighed: "Lou Yi, you were promoted by the big shopkeeper himself. I believe that the big shopkeeper's eyes shouldn't be such a thing as yours. But you still did... it's your unbelievable thing. Son, did you cause any trouble again?"
