Chapter 2 The gods in the mountains choose the seedlings
The Chen family pharmacy is known to everyone in Datian Town, and it is inevitable that you will be injured and poisoned when you go up the mountain to hunt, and the old man Chen can cure the disease every time, and has a very high reputation in Datian Town.
In an inconspicuous small shop on North Street, the word "medicine" was hung high, and Old Man Chen's apprentice was busy cutting medicines and other processes, and the fragrance of herbs diffused nearby.
Although the business of the pharmacy is very good, but the old man Chen, who is all handed over to the apprentices to take care of, is very leisurely, he often sits on a rattan chair in the inner courtyard of the pharmacy, sipping tea and reading books, so uncomfortable, except for the incurable diseases that the apprentices can't get accurate, or the medicinal materials to be bought are too precious to be in charge, and he is no longer involved in idle affairs.
Qin Haoxuan, surrounded by teenagers, came to the pharmacy in a mighty way, attracting a lot of attention.
Everyone in the town knew that Qin Haoxuan must have come to sell medicinal herbs again, and with such a big battle, maybe it was another good thing of great value!
In addition to some injured hunters in the Chen family's pharmacy, there were only two fresh faces among the scattered medicine pickers who came to sell medicine.
It is rare to see two raw faces in Datian Town, these two people are selecting precious medicinal materials under the diligent recommendation of Old Man Chen's apprentices who are above the top, judging from the almost flattering smiles of Old Man Chen's apprentices, they must have bought a lot, presumably those two wealthy foreign high-rollers.
Qin Haoxuan came to the door of the Chen family's pharmacy, the faint fragrance of yellow essence was still very prominent in the rich medicinal fragrance, and immediately drew the attention of the two fresh faces.
"Hou Sheng, are you here to sell medicine?" One of the men wearing a green shirt and a small goatee walked up to Qin Haoxuan: "This small village and town actually has a good yellow essence?"
Before Qin Haoxuan could speak, a young man had already rushed in front of Qin Haoxuan and said, "I don't know if the yellow essence is yellow or not, but none of the things that Brother Qin shot are inferior!"
The little goatee looked directly at Qin Haoxuan's face, and seeing that Qin Haoxuan was noncommittal, he acquiesced to Huang Jing's statement, and the little goatee continued: "Little brother, I am preparing a prescription, which just needs the flavor of Huang Jing, today you directly bid for this piece of Huang Jing, I will buy it, how about it?"
Qin Haoxuan knew that the person in front of him must be a person with a background, and before he took out his yellow essence, people would be able to break it in one word, so it was better not to quote indiscriminately.
Qin Haoxuan didn't make an offer, and the young man in the village next to him who came to join in the fun had already rushed to start quoting indiscriminately.
"Five taels ......"
"How can five taels be, at least ten taels!"
"Is it good to be a little promising, Brother Qin's good things are only worth ten taels, I think it will be at least fifteen taels!"
The teenagers who didn't know what Huang Jing was, their faces were red-faced, and the quotation also rose all the way, shouting from five taels to fifty taels.
The two faces looked at each other and smiled, and the little goatee took out five ingots of white silver from the package, and said, "Here is a hundred taels of silver, as long as the little brother is willing to sell me this piece of yellow essence, this silver is yours." ”
One hundred taels of silver came out, which directly shocked this group of young people in the mountains, don't look at their quotations, but except for Qin Haoxuan, they are all dirt buns that have never even seen ten taels of silver, let alone see so many hundred taels of silver at one time.
Even if his father is the best hunter in Daejeon Town, the income from hunting is only twenty or thirty taels a year, but he is already considered an extremely wealthy family in Daejeon Town.
Judging by the expressions of the young men, the two thought that the deal was settled.
Qin Haoxuan was also shocked by this price, and only shook his head after half a sound and said, "This really can't be sold to two ......."
Hearing Qin Haoxuan's words, the little goatee was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although Huang Jing is rare, it is only twenty or thirty taels that you sell to the pharmacy, and I am willing to pay one hundred taels ......."
Another fresh face, who had been silent, interrupted Goatee's words and said, "If the price is not satisfied, I will add another twenty taels, how about it?"
One hundred and twenty taels, the income of ordinary people in Datian Town for more than ten years, even Qin Haoxuan would take three or four years to earn one hundred and twenty taels, and there were already teenagers whose faces were flushed, looking at the six silver ingots shining in the sun, he felt that his breath was not smooth.
Qin Haoxuan took a deep breath and fixed his somewhat shaky soul.
"Uncle Chen has been babbling about wanting a piece of Huang Jing for several years, if he knows that I get a piece but sells it to you, the price of my medicinal materials will be lower in the future, although one hundred taels is tempting, it can't cut off my back road, right?"
Qin Haoxuan threw out his own opinions, and everyone, including these two unfamiliar faces, listened to it with approval, and the other adults who bought medicine in the store even regretted it, how could he not give birth to such a son!
"It's kind of interesting, kind of funny. The two faces smiled slightly, and left with great grace, they had just left on the front foot, and the old man Chen, who had learned the news, hurriedly rushed out of the inner courtyard.
"Huang Jing, have you picked Huang Jing?" Old Man Chen arrived before the voice arrived, he was nearly eighty years old, he was full of energy, his face was ruddy, and he walked like flying, as soon as he saw Qin Haoxuan, he shouted nervously: "I heard that someone grabbed Huang Jing from me at a high price?
"Well, I'll keep it for you. Qin Haoxuan let go of the hand that was holding Huang Jing tightly, and a yellow stone the size of a small fingernail appeared in his hand, and the indifferent but rich fragrance suddenly spread, suppressing the fragrance of many medicinal herbs in the medicine shop.
"Huang Jing, it's really Huang Jing......" Old man Chen was a lot older, seeing that Huang Jing couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, he took three steps and two steps forward, took Qin Haoxuan's hand and held Huang Jing in his hand and looked at it carefully, so excited that he burst into tears.
"Qin Wazi, how much do you want to sell this piece of yellow essence?" After a while, Old Man Chen lost his excited look and asked, "I heard that someone drove one hundred and twenty taels just now?"
Qin Haoxuan nodded and said, "How much do you think you can give?"
"There is no unified pricing for medicinal materials, if there is an emergency to save people, even if this piece of yellow essence is opened to a thousand taels, it is not too much, but at the moment I can only open thirty taels. Old man Chen put the yellow essence between his fingers and twisted it gently, and praised: "Good baby, good baby!"
This price was too far from the previous one hundred and twenty taels, and before Qin Haoxuan could say anything, the teenagers behind him started to coax.
"Others offer a high price, but you offer such a low price, in vain, Brother Qin still keeps it for you!"
"yes, it's outrageous, so much ......"
......
"I won't force you, if you can't sell it, you can take it back!" Old man Chen sped up his twisting speed, looking reluctant, although Huang Jing was very rare and had no price, the price he gave was already very fair.
Qin Haoxuan smiled slightly, blocked Old Man Chen's hand over Huang Jing, and said: "Thirty taels is thirty taels, if there is no you, how can I be where I am today! Anyway, it is picked, it doesn't matter if you sell more or less, it should be a wish of yours!"
Old man Chen was overjoyed when he was moved, and pinched the yellow essence in his hand, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away a second later.
After receiving thirty taels of silver in Old Man Chen's hands, Qin Haoxuan called his friends and led a group of teenagers to the restaurant in the town to have a drink, and then dispersed.
While drinking at the restaurant, the teenagers heard a very exciting news: "There is news that tomorrow is the big day for the gods on the mountain to open the mountain and select seedlings!"
Back at home, Qin Haoxuan slept hard, until in the evening, the mayor of the town sent someone to gather all the sixteen-year-old school-age teenagers in the town and announced the exciting news in the town square.
"Tomorrow on the slope ridge, the gods on the mountain will select the best seedlings among you to accept as apprentices, this is a rare opportunity, you all have to take it seriously, once you are selected by the gods, you will also get a settlement fee of two hundred taels of silver per year from the gods!"
Two hundred taels of silver!
Two hundred taels of silver is a huge amount of money for Qin Haoxuan, not to mention that these teenagers who have never seen much money are directly stunned by the astronomical figure of two hundred taels per year.
"If you want to sign up, come to me to sign up, and you will go to Poziling at dawn tomorrow. ”
Even if there is no temptation of two hundred taels of silver a year, being favored by the gods in the mountains as apprentices is enough to make these teenagers flock to them, Qin Haoxuan also wants to become immortals, but he is even more worried that his parents, who are getting older, will have no food and clothing, how can he run away to be immortals, leaving his parents alone?
But now there is a settling-in allowance of two hundred taels of silver per year, which is different, once selected by the immortals, this settling-in allowance of two hundred taels of silver per year can also allow parents to worry about food and clothing, and enjoy their old age, he can also follow the immortal learning ability of immortals with peace of mind, presumably his parents will also support it!
Qin Haoxuan followed the excited teenagers to sign up at the mayor's office, and Zhang Haoxuan, who was also signing up, was full of confidence in the praise of several younger brothers, thinking that he could be favored by the gods immediately, and he would no longer be an ordinary man, so that he was not as afraid as before when he saw Qin Haoxuan.
"Qin Haoxuan, I will definitely be selected by the immortals tomorrow, and we will calculate some accounts at that time. ”
Qin Haoxuan wrote his name on the registration book, and there was an arrogant and almost arrogant voice behind him, he turned around, a pair of eyes stared at the confident arrogance, and the light flashed in his eyes, but he was silent.
Insolent but felt that Qin Haoxuan's eyes went straight to his heart, seeing through his soul, he couldn't help but shiver, and he had goosebumps.
Zhang Yan, who was glared at by Qin Haoxuan, quickly calmed down, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly blamed himself for getting carried away and being too impulsive, glared at Qin Haoxuan viciously, and silently turned away in front of many people watching the excitement, causing a burst of sneering, and he really lifted a stone to hit himself in the foot.
Looking at the back of Zhang Madness leaving, Rao is Qin Haoxuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, a sinister villain like Zhang Qiang who knows how to advance and retreat, if he is really selected with himself, he must be more careful.
