Chapter 186: Fruit and Powder

Half a cup of tea is just past the hour.

The older man turned back, and he ran into the yard with a sack the size of a teapot in one hand.

After entering the door, he threw the two bags straight on the tea table. Then he picked up the ledger and stood beside the village chief, listening to the conversation on the table.

The village chief pointed to the two sacks in front of him, and his expression was hard to hide his pride. also signaled Ye Youhuan with mysterious eyes to open the bag and inspect the goods.

Ye Youhuan looked at the old guy with a very confident look, so he deliberately took a critical look and opened the bag a crack.

Ye Youhuan saw that the first bag contained a light brown powder, and he couldn't see any way.

So, Ye Youhuan picked up the second bag.

The contents of the second bag are obvious, which is the fruit of a plant, which has been dried and treated to a crisp state.

But even if it has been dried, you can imagine its original form, which should be the size of a wild egg, oval, prickly, and not very watery fruit.

"One fruit, one powder?" Ye Youhuan guessed in his heart: "This is not like something delicious, could it be a medicinal herb?" ”

Ye Youhuan thought of this, and he had an idea, and said to the village chief: "You thing, if you get it to our Yan Kingdom, it will be difficult to open the market, right?" ”

With that, he flicked his fingers and disdained the mouth of the sack.

When the village chief heard Ye Youhuan's words, he was immediately unconvinced, and hurriedly asked, "Is it difficult?" ”

"That's not that hard! That's so much in demand! ”

When the village chief said this, he leaned closer to Ye Youhuan, becoming more and more mysterious, and continued: "As long as you have channels in Yan State, I guarantee that you will be in short supply of this thing!" ”

"How?"

"The Yan Kingdom has been fighting for many years, and countless soldiers have been wounded and injured, that is the best time for us businessmen..."

"Ahem-" Ye Youhuan couldn't help but cough twice more when she heard this.

Although he was intrigued by what the obscene old man had to say, he was uncomfortable with basing his business opportunities on the casualties of his own people's warriors.

"What's wrong, guest?" The village chief didn't know why, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, you go on."

Ye Youhuan raised his eyebrows and held his patience.

"This leper fruit is a good thing, it has a miraculous effect on pain relief and calming! Especially the one produced in our Dacang Mountain, the effect is peerless! ”

"Pain relief and sedation?" Ye Youhuan said secretly in his heart.

He has the power of the bloodline himself, and he hasn't paid much attention to this aspect.

However, he had been in contact with a female medical officer for some time, and he knew that when treating the wounds of the wounded, if there were conditions, some pain-relieving drugs could greatly reduce the pain of the wounded.

Thinking of this, Ye Youhuan asked, "What kind of peerless method?" ”

"The powder from the leprosy fruit is dark brown." The village chief said as he opened the bag containing the loose powder.

"Look at us, it's light brown, it's the purest loose powder! During the growth of the fruit, no impurities are deposited inside. ”

"Loose powder from other places can also be 'analgesic and calming' and used as medicine."

"Nope! It's not even medicine, it can only be regarded as auxiliary supplies, and it is even dispensable. But the powder made from the leper fruit in our village can not only be used as medicine, but also as 'poison'. ”

The last few words of the village chief were extremely low, and only Ye Youhuan could really hear them clearly.

Ye Youhuan looked at the village chief curiously, waiting for his next step.

"As long as it is used on the wound, a small amount is 'calming', and a large amount can be 'numb all over the body', and you will not come to bed for three days. This kind of effect can only be done by the leper fruit produced in our Dacang Mountain! ”

After hearing this, Ye Youhuan's eyes lit up, there is still such a good thing?!

This made Ye Youhuan's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think: "A small amount, used on the wounded, can reduce the pain of the soldiers." A large amount of it, used on the enemy, isn't that just picking up people's heads everywhere for nothing! ”

Ye Youhuan glanced at the bag of things on the table, and his heart was itching: "This old man has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, I have to ask him to verify it for me." If he was deceived, this mess would not be spread all over the world by Zhong Ling. ”

Thinking of this, Ye Youhuan leaned back in his chair and asked the village chief: "There is no basis for your words, how can you prove that your thing has that kind of miraculous effect?" ”

When the village chief heard this, he smiled, as if he had been prepared.

He clapped his hands twice, and two people walked in from outside, one leading a sheep and the other dragging an old cow.

Then they took out a knife and cut a small wound on the body of the sheep and the cow.

Then, the small handful of leprosy powder was patted on the wound of the sheep, and the large handful of leprosy powder was patted on the wound of the cow.

After only ten counts, the cattle and sheep in front of them both fell to the ground without showing the slightest pain.

"Dead?" Ye Youhuan said curiously.

The village chief stroked his beard: "I'm not dead, it's just that I don't feel conscious and can't move." ”

Then the man who led the ox drew his whip and struck the old cow fiercely.

The old cow blinked his big eyes, as if he didn't feel it, and he didn't react at all.

"Wonderful!" Ye Youhuan was jubilant in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to show on his face.

"Distinguished guest, look at it, if we take back our leper powder, if we take back your Yan Kingdom, will there be a market?"

"Let's talk about the price."

"How much do you want?" The village chief's eyes were full of gold.

"How many do you have?" Ye Youhuan asked rhetorically, but hurriedly added: "I want this quality in your bag." ”

When the village chief heard the second half of Ye Youhuan's words, he obviously hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "This kind of high-quality is actually not a large amount, we have thirteen villages in Dacang Mountain, and each village lives by collecting leprosy fruits. ”

"The best leper fruit you fancy is only available in the six villages near the hot springs, and only the last batch to be picked this season, so..."

The village chief looked at Ye Youhuan, as if he was doubting Ye Youhuan's strength.

Ye Youhuan directly took out two gold leaves and slapped them on the table: "How many are in the six villages, how much I want, you can take them for me." If the gold is not used, then the rest will be used as a deposit, and I will book in advance for next year. ”

As soon as these words came out, the village elder's eyelids rolled up a little drooping.

The big man behind him was also so excited that he couldn't write hard.

Even the bewitching beautiful woman blossomed, and Ye Youhuan's eyes became even more charming.

After the village chief and his party left, Zhong Ling asked, "Big cousin, are you in too much of a hurry, you even have to book next year." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it!"

Ye Youhuan perfunctory Zhong Ling, in fact, he didn't think about what would happen next year.

A kind of wild fruit, the villagers of the whole mountain are watching the sky to eat, who dares to guarantee that there will be next year?

But he knows the truth that there is no business and no treachery.

If you want people to do things for you wholeheartedly, you naturally have to pay a good price, even if it is a labor service, you have to pay.

Zhong Ling thought about Ye Youhuan's words for a while, and said indifferently: "Yes!" ”

Then she hugged Ye Youhuan's arm: "Big cousin! After a while, when it gets dark, let's go take a bath in the hot springs, I haven't had a good bath in a long time. ”
