A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 81 Finding a bargain is a skill

Having locked onto this cicada flower, Wu Cheng no longer focused his attention on it, but instead looked at other dried flowers.

Hao Xiachan watched Wu Cheng from the side. In her eyes, the way Wu Cheng focused on selecting medicinal herbs was really handsome, quite charming, and made her heart flutter. She felt that she hadn't misjudged him; Wu Cheng was indeed exceptionally outstanding and dazzling.

Wu Cheng had no idea what Hao Xiachan was thinking. He was still looking at the medicinal herbs, picking and choosing, and finally picking out some cheap dried flowers. He gathered them into a pile and asked the young stall owner who was wearing headphones and listening to music, "How much are these flowers per pound?"

The stall owner gave Wu Cheng a disapproving look: "Do you even know anything about this business? Can these medicinal herbs be sold by weight?"

"Okay, I don't really know. I'm just wandering around here. I saw that your flower specimens are pretty well made, and I'm thinking of buying them as a gift for my girlfriend."

Wu Cheng pointed to Hao Xiachan beside him.

Hao Xiachan also moved closer to Wu Cheng in a cooperative manner.

When the young man saw Hao Xiachan's appearance, he was stunned by her beauty. For the first time, he realized that the ancients' use of the word "stunning" was not an exaggeration, but a true expression.

In a flash, Wu Cheng noticed the change in the young man's expression and immediately put on a displeased look: "Stop looking, stop having unrealistic ideas, just focus on your job. Name your price, I don't need the money."

The young man then looked away and said fiercely, "These flowers, one small yellow croaker per flower."

Wu Cheng scoffed, "Are you crazy for money? Are these flowers even worth a small yellow croaker?"

"Take it or leave it," the young man said. "Aren't you rich? Aren't you never short of money?"

He cursed inwardly, "You rich bastard, it's such a waste that such a beautiful girl is with you."

"Forget it, I don't need these flowers. Let's save money where we can." Hao Xiachan quickly got into character and completely embodied the role of Wu Cheng's girlfriend.

Wu Cheng was very unhappy: "That won't do. How can I go back on my word? If others find out, they'll call me a dog. I can't afford to lose face like that."

Wu Cheng took out ten small yellow croakers: "I'll pick ten."

"Only ten? You think you can act like a big shot with this little money?" The young man looked at him with disdain. "If it's less than twenty, you'll have to pay two small yellow croakers per flower."

"So expensive? Are you kidding me, Young Master Lu? Are you making a fool of me? Don't I have any shame?" Wu Cheng had completely put himself in Lu Dongyang's shoes and was indirectly cursing him.

At this moment, Lu Dongyang suddenly sneezed twice, then rubbed his nose and said, "One sneeze, two curses. Which bastard dared to curse this young master..."

Unbeknownst to him, Wu Cheng was using his name to haggle with a young stall owner.

"Forget it, I really don't want it anymore," Hao Xiachan said. "Young Master Lu, you might as well buy me a designer bag."

"That's where you're wrong. How can a woman be so shallow? Being so materialistic is something I absolutely won't like. So you have to change, do you hear me?" Wu Cheng admonished.

Hao Xiachan replied in a serious tone, "Okay, I will definitely change. Please don't punish me this time, okay?"

"I'll remember this. I'll punish you when we get home."

The young man, listening to Wu Cheng and Hao Xiachan's conversation, felt so jealous that he could probably eat dumplings ten or eight times a day.

Wu Cheng was also amused by his conversation with Hao Xiachan. He coughed twice, turned around and picked out two flowers: "In that case, I'll buy two."

"If there are two, each one will have five small yellow croakers." The young man clearly intended to rip Wu Cheng off.

"You can't just change the price arbitrarily, or I'll complain about you," Wu Cheng said, feigning ferocity.

"It's settled then, one flower for five small yellow croakers, buy it if you want, get lost if you don't."

“Okay, five it is,” Wu Cheng said. “Xia Chan, your name has the character for cicada in it. I see that this cicada has flowers on its back, which seems quite interesting, so I’ll buy these flowers and give them to you.”

"And this purple flower looks pretty too. Come here, let me put it on you."

While picking up the two flowers, Wu Cheng instructed Hao Xiachan to pay, and Hao Xiachan threw down ten small yellow croakers.

The young man cursed inwardly, "What an idiot."

In his opinion, Wu Cheng was really too stupid. He was provoked by him and ended up buying two flowers from the stall.

He estimated that if he were to sell these flowers at a pharmacy, they would fetch around 100,000 yuan, and that was an overestimation.

But I made 100,000 yuan in just a short time. It seems I really do have some business talent.

He was there to watch the stall for his grandfather. He earned ten small yellow croakers by selling just two items, which made him feel very accomplished. He thought to himself that when his grandfather came back, he would definitely show off.

At this time, Wu Cheng had already brought Hao Xiachan back to Guo Sidi's side.

Guo Si asked, "So, what good stuff did you get your hands on?"

Wu Cheng took out the purple flower: "Look at this."

Guo Sidi examined the flower and said with slight surprise, "Could this be a Peach Blossom Cup?"

"I think so," Wu Cheng said.

Hao Xiachan had never heard of it before and asked in surprise, "Idol, what is a Biyao Zhan?"

Wu Cheng was actually just learning from Jin Wanliang, but he still put on a very high standard: "The Peach Blossom Wine Cup is green when it blooms and turns purple after it dries. One Peach Blossom Wine Cup can turn a vat of ordinary wine into a vat of top-quality wine, so in the winemaking industry, the Peach Blossom Wine Cup is quite valuable."

"It's no problem at all that one peach blossom cup can be exchanged for thirty to fifty million."

"Thirty to fifty million?" Hao Xiachan was stunned, and Hao Henduo beside her was also stunned.

"Thirty or fifty million is nothing, it's just an extra, at most a supporting role. The real protagonist is this."

As Wu Cheng spoke, he took out the golden cicada flower.

“This black-shelled jade cicada’s golden cicada flower is worth a hundred million, it’s priceless,” Wu Cheng said. “Its function is also very simple: it can cure all kinds of poisons, curses, and curses. Even the most poisonous poisons and curses can be completely eliminated when they come into contact with this golden cicada flower.”

"So if you really encounter someone who desperately wants to break the curse or remove the poison, you can let this flower bloom as many times as you want."

As he spoke, he handed the two flowers to Hao Xiachan: "Congratulations, these two flowers are yours now."

"No... Idol, this is really wrong of you." Hao Xiachan's eyes welled up with tears. "How could you give me something so precious?"

"I'm not giving these things to you. You paid for them all, so of course you own them."

"But you could have bought it yourself."

"I was just demonstrating to you what it means to find a bargain. I make money however I want, why would I be afraid of not making money if I'm capable?" Wu Cheng said nonchalantly. "If you still feel bad about it, how about this, consider it an investment from me, as capital to help you fight against that Hao family. Is that alright?"

Hao Xiachan wanted to decline, but Hao Henduo quickly accepted the two flowers: "Alright, since Mr. Wu Cheng thinks so highly of us, we will do our best. I will accept these two flowers on Xiachan's behalf. Don't worry, give us a year, and we can completely change the Hao family."

Hao Henduo left with Hao Xiachan, and Wu Cheng then angrily slapped his own hands a few times.

Giving away hundreds of millions in one go, anyone would feel the pinch.

The cost of assembling this thirteen is just too high.

He appears to have plenty of money, but in reality, he is desperately short of it. He possesses the Lucky Cat System, meaning he needs money everywhere and at all times. With money, he can become stronger; without money, he will perish.

It seems I need to install fewer systems in the future; I must not become arrogant just because I have a system.

Thinking of this, he slapped himself again.

At the same time, the young man who sold the cicada flowers to Wu Cheng also got slapped hard.

The young man covered his face and asked, "Why did you hit me?"

"Why should I? Do you know what I've relied on all these years to sell these flowers at such high prices?"

"On what?"

“I have two kinds of flowers on my stall, one called Peach Blossom Cup and the other called Black-Shelled Jade Cicada Flower. Many people who want to find a bargain usually go around in circles, first buying other flowers at high prices, and then trying to buy my two precious flowers.”

“I’m not stupid, of course I wouldn’t sell these two ingredients, that’s why I made so much money. But you, you’re the one who sold out both of my ingredients while I was watching the stall for a little while.”

"How should I know? What do we do now, chase him back?"

"It's no use. Once someone has the skill to pick up those two bargains, they won't show their face again. Picking up bargains is a skill, and you've run into a master."

The young man gritted his teeth and said, "I remember now, he seemed to call himself Young Master Lu, and he had a very pretty girl with him."

"Young Master Lu? And there's a pretty girl with him?" The old man thought for a moment. "It seems we still have some hope. I'll ask a few of my old buddies to help me investigate."

"After you bring those two ingredients back this time, you should learn more about medicinal herbs. We make a living from medicinal herbs, so don't do anything like live streaming. That's not a proper business."

Although the young man was disdainful, he had made a mistake and it was best to behave himself, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

The old man told the young man to watch the stall while he went out for a while. When he came back, his expression had softened: "I've asked a few of my old buddies to help me look for it. Some of them have seen Young Master Lu and said that he does indeed have a precious medicine."

“Then there’s no escaping it,” the young man clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. “Don’t let me run into him. If I do, I’ll beat him out of Lanxiang Technical School.” At that moment, Lu Shao sneezed twice for no reason. He muttered, “Who is it that keeps cursing me?”
