I Can See Through All Information

Chapter 35 Testing each other and making large purchases

“Xiao Langjun, you said your master is that old doctor Chen?”

 Master Ma's face lost the previous smile and became a little serious.

 “It seems that the villagers all call him this old man.”

 The tension on Lu Qing's face eased slightly and he replied.

“Yes, Mr. Ma, my little brother has to study at Old Doctor Chen’s place every day.”

 At this time, Wang Daan also found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

 Master Ma looked at Lu Qing and Wang Daan critically, and suddenly smiled.

 “Wang Da’an, that’s right.”

Wang Daan on the side was so wide-eyed.

He waved his hands in a panic: "I can't be a master. I just learned a little knowledge of herbal medicine from the master, and I don't even know how to treat a doctor."

As for needlework, it’s because the fishhook made of a big iron needle at home is already a little overwhelmed.

As he said that, he took out the silver. Master Ma took it and saw that it was fine silver with snowflake patterns. He believed Lu Qing's words a little more.

 Among them, grain is the most purchased item.

However, although Wang Daan was anxious, he did not respond to Lu Qing's behalf.

 Only those rich nobles are willing to spend a lot of money to buy fish just for a bite of fresh fish.

 For civilians, if given a choice, they would even prefer to eat pork than fish.

But also, for the lower-class civilians in this world, fat is very important, so even pork is fat and more expensive than lean meat.

Of course Mr. Ma can see that Wang Daan is just an ordinary young man from the countryside.

 You can’t dig wild vegetables every time.

“Boss, can I buy meat now?”

However, he nodded to him politely.

 In addition to these, Lu Qing also bought some vegetables and needlework.

 Is this also called a dignified appearance?

 “Cheap, of course it’s cheap!”

 And this person is still his little brother Lu Qing.

 After buying the meat, Lu Qing and Wang Daan continued shopping in Daji.

“Why, the boss also knows about Dr. Chen?” Wang Daan asked curiously.

 Soon, Lu Qing counted the money.

"Brother, what you said is right. Who from all over the country doesn't know Dr. Chen? My wife was infected with cold after giving birth last year and almost died. It was the old doctor who cured her. He is from our area. The famous miracle doctor!"

“Of course.” The meat stall owner smiled brightly, “Xiao Langjun, it turns out that you are the apprentice of Dr. Chen. No wonder you are so handsome!”

 Besides, this may not be an opportunity for him to understand the outside world.

Although he also intends to make friends with this Ma Ye, it is not now.

 He became more and more convinced that Lu Qing was indeed the disciple of the old doctor.

"But I did offend Xiaolangjun just now. With this meat, should I consider it as my apology to Xiaolangjun?"

 It is rare for people in the countryside to know how to read. It is already a great thing to be able to recognize numbers within one hundred.

 It didn’t take long before I bought a lot of things.

When the meat stall owner heard this, he quickly said: "That's right, Xiao Langjun, the only one here who has the ability to get your money is probably Mr. Ma."

After weighing it, he smiled and said: "This silver is about six coins. If converted into copper coins, it would be about six hundred coins."

Lu Qing looked at his patched clothes and was speechless.

Lu Qing is certainly happy to see this happen.

Now, he is only regarded highly by the other party because of his status as "Old Doctor Chen's disciple".

"How is this possible?" Lu Qing shook his head repeatedly, "No reward will be given without merit. Master has taught you not to accept other people's things casually."

“Brother Lu Qing, I wish you a happy time here. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Wang Daan wanted to help, but he knew that he couldn't count. If he tried to help, it would only add to the chaos, and he could only worry on the sidelines.

 Because now, their strength is still not equal.

 Eighty-seven. Two-seven. Two-five. One-three

Fish is not very oily, so you won’t feel hungry after eating it.

 In the end, the meat stall owner wiped out the fraction of the meat money and charged Lu Qing three cents less.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao Ma."

Seeing that Lu Qing kept refusing Ma Ye's gift, Wang Daan felt a little anxious.

“In this case, boss, shouldn’t your meat be cheaper for us?” Wang Daan took the opportunity to ask.

Lu Qing took out the copper coins and counted them quickly.

Master Ma solemnly saluted Lu Qing, but Lu Qing seemed to be frightened, and he took two steps back.

However, no matter what Master Ma said, Lu Qing just shook his head and was determined not to accept Master Ma paying for him.

“Anyway, it was me who offended Mr. Young, so be it, I will pay for the meat you buy at this meat stall.”

 He wants to make more fish hooks as backup.

“The money has been exchanged, so you can buy things with confidence. By the way, you still don’t know your name?” Mr. Ma took the opportunity to ask.

"My name is Lu Qing." Lu Qing said, pointing to Wang Da'an beside him, "This is brother Da'an from the same village as me."

Seeing that Lu Qing was unwilling to accept his apology, Mr. Ma had an idea and laughed again.

 Lu Qing also saw fish being sold at the market. He asked about the price and found that it was cheaper than pork.

He knew that Lu Qing was literate and had the guidance of an old doctor, so he must know more than him.

 Mainly food and some daily necessities.

 The purpose of buying vegetable seeds is to grow more vegetables in the yard.

That's more than ten kilograms of meat, and I wouldn't even take it if someone gave it away for free. What was Ah Qing thinking?

Lu Qing took the money bag and began to count it directly.

Seeing Lu Qing being so sincere, Mr. Ma couldn't help but smile.

 There were a total of six hundred and fifty copper coins in the cloth bag, which was fifty more coins when converted into one tael of silver and one thousand copper coins.

 “It turns out that he is a disciple of Dr. Chen, but I am disrespectful.”

 After Ma Ye left, Lu Qing came to the meat stall again.

The average country boy can't get such good silver.

"The copper coins here should be worth your silver. Count them."

"It's not too much. Your silver is of very good quality, so I should give you fifty more." Mr. Ma said with a smile.

Mr. Ma took off a cloth bag from his body, took out two small bunches of copper coins, and handed the bag to Lu Qing.

 But just this was enough to make Wang Daan excited, and his face turned red.

 Lu Qing thought for a moment and did not refuse.

 “Master Ma, my name is Wang Daan.” Wang Daan said somewhat flatteringly.

Ma Ye is a person who understands propriety. He did not take the opportunity to follow Lu Qing, but chose to keep his distance.

Master Ma narrowed his eyes again when he saw Lu Qing counting money.

This was the first time that he saw Mr. Ma being so polite to someone.

 He knew that the master was trying to show his kindness. But he has rejected the other party several times, so he can't really give him no face at all.

 Since he is unwilling to accept it, he must have his own reasons.

Looking at the speed at which Lu Qing counts money, it is obvious that counting is not difficult for him.

“Young Master is really kind, and he is worthy of being a disciple of old doctor Chen. Well, I thought you were interested in this silver just now, so how about I help you find it?”

 After selling these things, Lu Qing had already lost most of his 650 copper coins.

He bought two more large bamboo-backed baskets, and then he and Wang Daan carried and carried them, and finally got everything on them.

Then the two of them left Daji and walked toward the village with somewhat heavy steps.
