Lao Men'er

"Alright, the bribery is done. Go and call Lao Men'er back. Tell him I need to speak with him!"

Su Ziyang was a little confused when he saw Qi Chu talking to the dog.

Qi Chu also asked the dog to tell Lao Men'er, the child's grandfather, that he had something to say.

Isn't this command a bit too complicated?

However, Su Ziyang seriously underestimated Bones's intelligence. After listening to Qi Chu's words, Bones actually nodded, stood up, and ran away.

Yes, he just nodded.

Less than ten minutes later, Bones entered the room first.

Behind him was an old man in a Zhongshan suit. This man must be the person Qi Chu was looking for this time, Lao Men'er.

"Hey Qi Chu, are you out of your mind? I'm treating patients, I'm giving acupuncture, and you had this brat call me back? He's clinging to my trouser leg and won't let go!"

If you look closely, you can see drool on the Bones on Lao Men'er's trouser legs and sleeves.

Su Ziyang never expected that Bones's execution ability was so high, and he managed to pull Lao Men'er back.

To explain why it's deadlifting...

Su Ziyang discovered that Lao Men'er had two acupuncture needles stuck between his fingers.

"But I have something urgent to attend to!"

Qi Chu chuckled and even pretended to tidy up Lao Men'er's clothes.

Lao Men'er kicked Bones in annoyance, then whispered sternly, "Did I even raise you? What did this kid do for you that you're working so hard for him? Look what he's done to my wife! You have no conscience!"

Lao Men'er scolded Bones, Qi Chu chuckled, "Hey Lao Men'er, I really have something urgent to tell you this time. I've got some good stuff again! Want some?"

Qi Chu got down to business, Lao Men'er's expression turned serious. "Seeing a doctor? Or what is it?!"

"I have a bag. Hehe!"

Qi Chu chuckled, then took out a bag from his pocket—it was the bag belonging to the large Kong Qing who had led Su Ziyang to find that day.

"Found it again??? Okay! Come on then."

Lao Men'er saw something good, tucked his hand into his sleeve, and stretched it out in front of Qi Chu.

This is a special bargaining method called "swallowing gold in one's sleeve".

It is a rather mysterious form of transaction.

Inside their sleeves, the two men gestured with their fingers to each other, and then set a price.

This type of transaction can be considered an ancient form of encrypted transaction.

This type of transaction has two advantages: firstly, even if the sale falls through, it won't harm either party.

Another, and most important, method is to ensure that others don't know the exact price the two people negotiated, thus preventing any potential hijacking.

No one else will know what the buyer's and seller's low prices are, and it won't affect future transactions between the two parties.

"Hey, there are no outsiders here. No need for all this. Just tell me, how much are you paying this time?"

This method of negotiating prices by touching hands is mainly for the sake of secrecy. There are no outsiders here in Qi Chu, but Lao Men'er doesn't know this and treats Su Ziyang and his group as outsiders.

Thirty thousand.

Lao Men'er made a three-pointed hand gesture.

"Get out of here! Last time I sold you that one, you gave me 20,000 yuan. Then you treated an old lady from out of town's eye disease, and after curing her, you charged her 150,000 yuan. Without my main ingredient, could you have cured that disease???"

The two had a very good relationship, and when Qi Chu saw the price Lao Men'er offered, he immediately started cursing.

Lao Men'er blushed when Qi Chu directly exposed him, but quickly regained his composure.

So how many do you want?

"50,000 yuan, plus Bones I can borrow!"

Qi Chu stretched out a finger and scratched the dog's Bones.

"Bones for you? No way."

When Lao Men'er heard that Qi Chu wanted to borrow Bones, he didn't even bother to discuss the price and rejected Qi Chu.

"Lao Men'er, you're getting more and more stingy. Stop calling me Lao Men'er, just call me Lao Kou."

When Qi Chu heard that Lao Men'er wasn't going to sell, he glared angrily.

"What do you want with these Bones? Do you think I don't know?"

Lao Men'er refused to budge an inch.

Finally, Qi Chu took out another golden retriever from his bag, exactly the same as the one he had given Su Ziyang that day.

"So big?"

After blurting out the shout, Lao Men'er realized he had lost his composure and quickly covered his mouth.

"You don't need to cover your mouth. This thing plus this blue azure will cost 70,000 yuan in total. And then lend me the Bones!"

Qi Chu offered a price again.

This time, Lao Men'er didn't refuse; instead, he happily accepted Qi Chu's things and went inside.

When Lao Men'er came out again, he was carrying a bag.

"Seven stacks, you can count them."

Lao Men'er handed Qi Chu the money, Qi Chu didn't even count, putting it directly into his backpack. "You gave it to me, it can't be wrong. The Bones are mine now, right?"

"Use it. Use it!"

Lao Men'er smiled happily, revealing his big yellow teeth.

Su Ziyang then realized why Qi Chu had so much cash on him; it turned out he had obtained it through such transactions.

Now that Su Ziyang suddenly knows that the Kongqing in his hand is quite valuable, he is somewhat excited.

"Bones, let's go. I'll take you hunting!!!"

Upon hearing that he was being taken hunting, Bones excitedly roared twice at Qi Chu.

"Woof woof~"

Qi Chu chuckled and went out the door with the Bones in his arms.

"You're back! You can have your stuff. I'll buy it at a high price!"

Lao Men'er seemed to have forgotten that he had tried to bargain, and shamelessly told Qi Chu that he would buy at a high price.

Qi Chu didn't even turn his head, and led Bones directly into the car.

Bones didn't even turn around to yell at his master, which prompted Lao Men'er to curse at Qi Chu's car again.

"Brother Chu, why are we carrying Bones?"

Su Ziyang didn't quite understand Qi Chu's actions.

"Yes. Bones is a good dog. It's safe with him."

Qi Chu a mysterious chuckle, without explaining anything further.

"Just follow Brother Chu's instructions. Don't ask any unnecessary questions!"

Mr. Mengfei scolded Su Ziyang Su Ziyang, then led him into the car.

"Sir, may I drive Brother Chu's Wrangler?"

Fairy Li's eyes, which had been gleaming with golden light, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Without saying a word, Mr. Mengfei shouted directly at Qi Chu, who had just started the car, "Brother Chu, you drive this one. The little girl wants to play with your car!"

Qi Chu agreed readily, getting out of the car and handing it over to Fairy Li.

Qi Chu led the way in Su Ziyang's car, while Fairy Li followed behind in her Wrangler.

The group traveled south, and after a day, the surrounding scenery began to turn lush and green. The endless plains and highways were replaced by rolling hills and green vegetation.

"Brother Chu, how much further do we have?"

This time, Su Ziyang Su Ziyang was driving, and he chatted with Qi Chu casually.

"Just keep driving!"
