Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 815 Business Experience

Gu Chan seemed angry on the surface, but in fact she was already very happy.

She had long anticipated that this ruffian would not be content to be her slave, so it would not be a bad idea to take advantage of this opportunity to teach him a lesson and make him convinced.

So she pretended to be cold, crossed her arms and said indifferently, "You choose! Cut off your hand! Or cut off your foot?"

"Ah? Miss, don't be like this! I really know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again. I'm going to break my hands and feet, and then how can I serve you well in the future?" Xuan Xiao said with a trembling voice.

"That's true. If you become disabled, it will be inconvenient for me to use you in the future. But what happened today did make me a little angry. Do you think you can help me calm down?" Gu Chan said with a wicked smile.

Xuan Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, hurried forward, lifted Gu Chan's feet and held them in his arms, then nervously massaged her legs.

Gu Chan leaned back in her chair, grinning from ear to ear.

The calico cat lay on the table and said, "You little dog, now you know how to please your master. Just now when he teamed up with Ma Biao to deal with your master, he was so proud!"

"Snapped!"

Gu Chan was almost calming down, but the calico cat added fuel to the fire. She was so angry that she raised her right hand, aimed it at Xuan Xiao's face, and slapped him in the face.

Xuan Xiao grimaced in pain, but could only smile and say, "Miss, you hit me well, as long as you calm down. I did something wrong, you can hit me as much as you want."

"You bitch, I'm telling you, I'm going to spare you this time, but if you dare to do it again, I'll break one of your legs." Gu Chan cursed angrily.

Xuan Xiao nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chan raised her leg and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying backwards, but he quickly got up and knelt in front of Gu Chan, kneeling straight and not daring to disobey at all.

Seeing that the bastard had finally behaved, Gu Chan changed the subject and said, "By the way, who is this Feng Tianyang, the owner of Zhaofeng Tower?"

"Miss, you may not know that the Feng family is the largest family in Xuanyue City on the border. The entire family business is spread all over the northern border and is extremely powerful. The eldest brother of Lord Feng is the current city lord of Xuanyue City, so the Feng family can be said to be the ruler of both the official and business circles of Xuanyue City." Xuan Xiao explained.

"I see. Fortunately, I gave him face just now, otherwise I would be in real trouble." Gu Chan muttered softly.

As expected, one needs to be cautious when doing things when arriving. If she really didn't give Feng Tianyang face and insisted on reporting the matter to the government, Feng Tianyang's elder brother, the city lord, would probably be in a difficult situation.

Xuan Xiao reminded her, "Miss, why don't we leave early tomorrow morning? After all, you have disabled Ma Biao tonight, which has offended Master Feng. I'm afraid something might happen if we delay!"

"Hmph! I think you are afraid that Ma Biao will punish you! After all, this matter was caused by you. To be honest, it is you who harmed Ma Biao!" Gu Chan said with a sneer.

Xuan Xiao's sore spot was touched, and he immediately lowered his head and remained speechless.

Gu Chan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She reached into the bag on her waist, took out a bag of silver and threw it to Xuan Xiao.

Xuan Xiao took the silver and said in confusion, "Miss, what's this for you?" "Here are five hundred taels of silver. Go to the city tomorrow, buy three carriages, hire three coachmen for me, and then buy three carriages of medicinal herbs. After that, we will form a medicinal herb caravan and leave." Gu Chan ordered.

"Ah? Miss, why does she want to form a medicinal materials caravan?" Xuan Xiao asked puzzled.

"I'm a veterinarian by training, so isn't it normal for me to do some medicinal materials business? Moreover, this is the northern border of Diyue Country. The medicinal materials produced here must be of good quality. If the three carriages of medicinal materials are demoted to the heartland of Diyue Country, they might be sold for a good price." Gu Chan explained.

Xuan Xiao was stunned on the spot for a moment when he heard this.

He had never thought about these things before, but after hearing what Gu Chan said, he finally understood.

Originally, the northern border of the Diyue Kingdom is rich in medicinal materials, and the quality of the medicinal materials here is quite good. It’s just because it is located on the border, the medicinal materials cannot be sold at a good price. If some medicinal materials can be sold in the hinterland, it may be possible to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that Gu Chan had a good business sense.

Putting the silver in his arms, Xuan Xiao said doubtfully, "Miss, if you can think of this, others can definitely think of it too! I guess there are many people doing the business of reselling medicinal materials nowadays. How can we make money among so many people?"

"You don't understand this! Business requires brains. It's like the same kind of medicinal material. Others sell it for fifty cents, but you can sell it for eighty cents. Moreover, everyone is willing to buy your eighty-cent piece instead of the fifty-cent piece from others." Gu Chan said shrewdly.

"How can this be done?" Xuan Xiao asked.

Gu Chan reached into the bag on her waist, took out a medicine bottle, poured out a white pill from it, placed it in front of Xuan Xiao and said, "This is called Qi-boosting Pill. After taking it, the spiritual energy in your body can be replenished when you are weak. To refine it, you only need two herbs, Baiyuan Grass and Qixing Kui."

"Aren't Baiyuancao and Qixingkui very common medicinal herbs? They are also very cheap!" Xuan Xiao said.

"Yes, the market price of these two herbs combined is only fifty cents. But after I refined them and turned them into this Qi-replenishing pill, one pill can be sold for at least five taels of silver. So my first pot of gold was earned from the herb business." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Xuan Xiao's eyes widened instantly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Chan changed.

It was as if he had suddenly opened the door to a new world, and he finally began to be convinced by Gu Chan.

In the past, he only thought that Gu Chan was just a little girl whose hair had not yet grown out, but judging from the current situation, he had indeed underestimated Gu Chan.

Gu Chan's small body hides great wisdom! If I work with her in the future, I might be able to become rich.

Thinking of this, Xuan Xiao no longer hesitated and immediately kowtowed to Gu Chan respectfully and said, "Miss, today I have completely met you. From now on, I will definitely stay by your side and serve you with peace of mind. I only ask that you teach me some business skills so that I can make a fortune through legitimate means and not do those things that hurt the world just to fill my stomach."

"A scholar is teachable! Get up! Go and have a rest quickly, and help me take care of the medicinal materials caravan tomorrow." Gu Chan said, waving her hand.

Xuan Xiao quickly thanked him, stood up, took the silver and left.

After he left, Gu Chan closed the door with peace of mind, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
