"No wonder you'd ask that question. Anyone who's been here before would definitely know that our Huang Family dicine Shop has the most complete selection. There's only what you can't think of, nothing you can't buy," the assistant said with so pride, though this pride was just a sense of honor without arrogance toward custors.
It seed this shop's owner was quite good—if the employees spoke this way, it would be hard for business not to be good.
"That's not necessarily true. What if I na sothing you don't have?" Xiaoyao smiled. At this mont, he felt his smile should be quite dashing—originally such an expression should have carried so teasing aning.
But Xiaoyao forgot his current appearance. His dashing smile now looked like a silly grin, making others feel not teasing but a foolish question.
Because of this, the assistant looked down on Xiaoyao, feeling he couldn't possibly say anything significant, so he casually said: "If you can na sothing we don't have here, we'll not only find it for you but won't charge you,”
"Really?" Xiaoyao looked at the assistant, then shook his head saying: "You're not the owner here, you're just an assistant. You can't make that decision!"
"..." The assistant fell silent for a mont. He seed to realize his words had overstepped his authority—this was beyond his power. Almost no one here could make such a promise, as most were employees.
"I can make that decision. I can agree to what he said!" A young master walked out, glanced at Xiaoyao once. Although his expression seed fine, his eyes revealed a trace of disdain.
Obviously, this young master felt soone like Xiaoyao wouldn't know much and couldn't na any special materials, because no matter how you looked at him, Xiaoyao was just an ordinary little fat man. He had never heard of such a character.
"May I ask who you are?" Xiaoyao wanted to confirm. If this was another person just talking empty words, he couldn't be bothered to say anything.
"Young sir, this is our Huang family's young master. What he says represents the Huang family and can represent our dicine shop," the assistant imdiately explained, having noticed his young master seed slightly displeased.
Perhaps because of being doubted, or perhaps because of being doubted by a little fat man like Xiaoyao...
"Huang family? Can I ask a question—which Huang family are you?" Xiaoyao asked the question that had made him pause and get drawn in.
"What do you an?! Don't tell you've never heard of our Huang family," The young master's face imdiately changed, darkening and becoming sowhat gloomy.
"I have heard of one..." Xiaoyao shook his head. This first half of the sentence made the Huang family young master's expression improve considerably, but the second half imdiately returned his expression to its previous ugliness.
"What relationship do you have with the Huang family of Qingyun Province?"
"..."
"No relationship!" the Huang family young master said coldly. So this little fat man was talking about a Huang family from elsewhere. There were so many people surnad Huang in the world, countless Huang families—how could every family be the sa?
"Oh, then I don't know which family yours is," Xiaoyao shook his head. Indeed, there were too many Huang families.
"We're the Huang family of Lingyue County—we're among the top here," the Huang family young master said.
"Not number one though—you're at most number two," Xiaoyao shook his head.
"Damn! Kid, who are you calling number two!" The Huang family young master got angry, grabbing Xiaoyao's collar and roaring.
"You guys—you're at most number two! Ah, I'm not saying you're stupid... you yourself just said 'among the top'! The first definitely isn't the Huang family but the Liu family. You can at most be second... Um, I'm not good with words, sorry, please forgive ," Xiaoyao said sowhat nervously, imdiately apologizing, but his words seed to be mocking the Huang family young master again. Yet there was nothing to catch him on, since this topic was brought up by the young master himself.
"Hmph!" The Huang family young master snorted coldly. "Liu family—that's in the past. I'll definitely surpass the Liu family in the future!"
The Liu family was Lingyue County's legendary family, always the number one family here. This Huang family was actually brought up by the Liu family—the Huang family was connected to the Liu family by marriage.
Although the Huang family young master spoke of surpassing them, this was basically pipe dreams, or one could say this young master was sowhat ignorant.
The Huang family had developed rapidly over recent decades and gradually beco the first family after the Liu family, but the difference between the Huang and Liu families was enormous. On the surface, the Liu and Huang family shops looked similar, and the Huang family dicine shop's managent was quite exceptional—sothing Xiaoyao had acknowledged earlier.
But this was just the shop—just the surface. The content was quite different. The Liu family had more foundation than the Huang family. Whether in dicinal material quality or quantity, the Liu family held absolute advantages.
Basically all alchemists here knew this. When wanting to refine high-quality pills, they would choose Liu family materials. For ordinary ones, they'd choose Huang family materials because they were slightly cheaper.
In terms of quantity, ordinary items often exceeded high-quality ones in number, so on the surface, the Huang family seed to have higher sales volu.
The Huang family young master saw this point, so his confidence kept inflating. He infinitely minimized another data point's importance—sales revenue.
This data was also most crucial, showing where the difference lay and exactly how large it was.
"I haven't been to the Liu family, but for your place to develop greatly, there are still many areas needing improvent," Xiaoyao continued, making the Huang family young master's face darken again—wasn't this clearly saying he wasn't good enough?
Xiaoyao didn't give the young master any chance to speak, directly continuing: "You don't need to tell anything—these are your own affairs. I just want to know what happens if I na sothing you don't have and you can't find it either?"
The earlier condition was to help Xiaoyao find it for free, but what if they couldn't find it? This question was quite necessary to discuss.
"Don't worry, that's impossible, Even if what you na isn't here, I can definitely find it," the Huang family young master replied disdainfully.
"That's hard to say. What if you can't find it?" Xiaoyao asked.
"Then I'll give you my shop sign to smash!" the Huang family young master roared. He was getting impatient with Xiaoyao, feeling this was deeply insulting to him.
When the young master said this, almost everyone was stunned. This was going too far—what if they really couldn't find it? Would he really let soone smash the shop sign?
This was a very serious problem, extrely serious. Even the young master felt there was a problem, but his words were already spoken. He didn't want to take them back—wouldn't taking them back show he didn't have the ability? Wouldn't it tell everyone his dicine shop didn't have such capability?
"Originally, I have no interest in smashing shop signs, but I find you quite displeasing, so I agree to your proposal!" Xiaoyao smiled. He originally wouldn't do such pointless things, but this young master made him very displeased. He really wanted to see this young master in an embarrassing situation.
"Find displeasing? Kid, don't be so shaless! Tell sothing right now. I warn you in advance—if it's not dicinal materials, if you're making things up, I'll let you know the consequences of causing trouble in my shop!" the young master said, suppressing his anger. Originally he wanted to explode, but he thought if he got angry now, wouldn't he be in the wrong?
Anyway, this kid definitely couldn't na anything. Then he could punish him with complete justification!
"Just one thing? I don't want just one—we didn't say just one beforehand either. Are you afraid?" Xiaoyao frowned.
"What? You say I'm afraid? I'm just having you na one to see. If even one isn't right, is there any need to continue?" the young master said disdainfully.
"Then let's start with one type—Ice Condensation Grass," Xiaoyao said.
"Ice Condensation Grass? Is there such a thing?" The young master was puzzled. This na sounded quite ordinary, but he seed to have never heard of it.
"Do we have this Ice Condensation Grass?" The young master directly asked the people inside. He himself wasn't too deep into dicinal materials and might have oversights. He believed the people in the shop should know.
After a while, everyone in the Huang family shop confird one thing—this ordinary-nad herb was sothing they had never heard of, so naturally they didn't sell it.
"Young master, we don't have it. Not only do we not have it, I've never heard of such a dicinal material called Ice Condensation Grass. He might be talking nonsense!"
"As expected! Soone, throw this little fat man out and beat him!" The young master laughed. Now he felt he could feel good.
"Wait!" Little fat man Xiaoyao said.
"Are you preparing for a beating? Good, I'm very generous—I can let you prepare!" the young master laughed loudly.
"A beating?! That should be you. If your family knows this shop sign is getting smashed, they'll naturally beat you," Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
"What?! You still dare be stubborn! Soone, drag him out and beat him hard! If you beat him to death, I'll take responsibility!" the young master raged.
"You can't take that responsibility!" Xiaoyao glanced at the young master, returning the disdain he had shown him. He said: "Let's discuss sothing first. You say you've never heard of Ice Condensation Grass, right?"
"Yes, never heard of it!" The assistants and manager shook their heads.
