Volume 1: A Mess After the Crossing Chapter 31: Making a Fortune
Seeing the primeval forest, Li Yinglong's heart couldn't help but move, thinking to himself, except for him and Brother Ning Fat Ball, no one else has ever entered this primeval forest, maybe there is a hundred years, or even a thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in this primeval forest.
Although there are some very terrible savages in this big forest, and there is a danger to people's lives when they enter, but that is for ordinary people, the current Li Yinglong is not an ordinary person, he is already a martial arts master who was tossed out by the black-headed Tu Kejin, and those savages really can't do anything about him anymore. Don't look at the black-headed tuo, he has lived in this big forest for decades, and those wild people haven't given him anything, this is the ability to determine the situation and status.
After thinking about it, Li Yinglong stepped into this primeval forest.
Soon Li Yinglong came to the edge of the glade in the forest, and the dozen or so tall shack houses were still there, but there was no sound, that is, the wild people who once lived in the dozen or so tall shack houses had left, or rather, moved away. Not to mention, these savages really have that sense of danger, or a sense of crisis. When some of them were injured by Li Yinglong, they smelled danger, so they moved decisively and quickly to live in other places in the big forest.
Li Yinglong, the tall scaffolding houses where these savages lived, really hadn't been in to see it, and with curiosity, Li Yinglong walked into the open space, and then entered the dozen tall scaffolding houses to visit.
Actually, there was really nothing to see, and there was nothing in each house except a simple bed made of wooden poles.
Because there was nothing to see, Li Yinglong didn't want to look at it anymore after seeing the two, and when he was about to leave here to look for medicinal herbs, he suddenly saw a low shackled thatched house behind this row of tall shacks.
The low shack house was a third shorter than the row of tall shacks in front of it, this phenomenon aroused Li Yinglong's curiosity, or concern, and he couldn't help but secretly think, could this low shack house be the prison cell for those tall savages who were caught by them and inadvertently broke into this forest? Or are there still humans in this cell? Thinking about it, Li Yinglong pulled his legs and walked towards the somewhat short shack house in the back.
Another strange thing about this low shack house is that the tall row of shacks in front of it has no doors, but this low shack house has a door, and the door is locked with a big iron lock that can't be used anymore. Therefore, this made Li Yinglong believe that this low scaffolding house was a prison cell for human beings, and Li Yinglong hurriedly walked over.
Before and after coming to the door of this low shack house, Li Yinglong looked at the big iron lock on the door, I go, it's too old, if you take this big iron lock to the world more than a thousand years later, it is definitely a very good and valuable antique. Although this big iron lock is very ancient, it is not something that these savages whose IQ is still in the IQ of primitive people in ancient times can make it. So, I wonder if this big iron lock was stolen by the wild people here who came out at night and sneaked into the human village. It seems that these savages here are not so peaceful.
Of course, this ancient big iron lock couldn't help Li Yinglong, Li Yinglong held the iron lock a little harder, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", and the big iron lock was unscrewed by Li Yinglong.
Not to mention the current Li Yinglong who has been transformed by the black-headed tuo, it is not difficult for the Li Yinglong in the previous life to break this big iron lock.
Then Li Yinglong pushed open the door and walked in, I went, Li Yinglong was shocked by the things in the house, it was full of a room full of medicinal materials, and they were all precious medicinal materials that were rare to see on the mountains outside, there were dozens of ginseng that were more than 100 years old, and there were hundreds of Ganoderma lucidum that were more than 100 years old.
Especially those ginsengs, all of them have all the beards and tails, which is very complete. It seems that these savages also know the value of ginseng, and they dug it very carefully, and it was not damaged at all.
But what puzzled Li Yinglong was why these savages also dug ginseng to collect Ganoderma lucidum, did they also know that ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum have great tonic effects on the human body, and the super high medicinal effect is not successful? Yes, it should be like this, these wild people live in this primeval forest all year round, and it is not unusual for them to know the effects of ginseng and reishi, probably earlier than the humans outside knew about it.
Seeing so many valuable medicinal materials, Li Yinglong was of course not polite, but he couldn't take that much alone, so he only picked out the dozen ginsengs that were more than three hundred years old and a dozen Ganoderma lucidum that were more than three hundred years old and took them away. There is no need to take other medicinal materials, it is enough to have these ginseng and lingzhi that are more than 300 years old, because that ginseng and lingzhi can also be sold for hundreds of taels or thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.
When leaving, Li Yinglong suddenly took another ginseng of about 100 years and took it away.
He probably wanted to take this ginseng tree of about 100 years to the pharmacy in Tiangui Town and sell it to make up the travel expenses. Although ginseng is also quite precious, it is not rare, and those who go up to the mountains to collect medicine all year round may collect it from time to time, so it will not attract the attention or shock of those medicinal herb merchants in the town.
But those ginseng that is more than three hundred years old is different, it is very rare, if he really takes such a ginseng to sell it in the pharmacy of Tiangui Town, it will definitely alarm those medicinal material merchants in Tianguishan Town. Of course, they will definitely ask Li Yinglong where this ginseng came from. Even if Li Yinglong didn't tell them where the ginseng that was more than 300 years old had been dug up, they would have guessed that they would definitely organize a large number of people to venture into this primeval forest to find it. But this primeval forest is inhabited by a terrible group of savages, and if they break in recklessly, they will surely lose their lives, and if so, is it not harming them?
Of course, Li Yinglong will not have any problems when he enters, and there will be no danger, because Li Yinglong was a special warfare elite in his previous life, and he had a good martial arts, and then he was transformed to the limit by the black head Tuo using thunder and lightning, and it created a strong martial arts for him, and those savages only escaped when they saw it. But those ordinary people are different, even if they know a little bit of three-legged cat martial arts, they can't do it, once they also get on those terrible savages, there is definitely no return. Therefore, if you can keep the secret, you should keep the secret here as much as possible, and keeping the secret is equivalent to saving the lives of ordinary people who want to make a fortune and don't even want their lives.
After returning home, Li Yinglong found a few pieces of kraft paper and cut them into pieces, and then wrapped those ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum one by one, especially those ginseng must be wrapped, otherwise one or two whiskers will be broken accidentally, and the value of the ginseng will be greatly discounted once the whiskers are broken.
Early the next morning, Li Yinglong took the ginseng of about 100 years to Tiangui Town, because he didn't go to sell firewood and didn't have a cart, he walked much faster alone, and it took more than 30 minutes to arrive in Tiangui Town.
There are not many other shops or restaurants in Tiangui Town, only three or five, but the pharmacies are not old and young, there are more than a dozen, and the scale of the pharmacies is not small. However, these pharmacies are not mainly engaged in selling medicines, but in the purchase of medicinal materials, because there are extremely rich medicinal materials growing on Yungui Mountain outside Tiangui Town, and there are also a lot of valuable medicinal materials. Therefore, the pharmacies in the surrounding big cities have opened branches here.
After purchasing a sufficient amount of medicinal materials, these pharmacies will transport them to the head offices of those big cities outside by car to sell them, and because the quality of the medicinal materials in the Tiangui Mountains is good, they can be sold at a good price when they are transported outside.
Li Yinglong came to a place called "Shirong Pharmacy" and stood up.
The reason why this pharmacy is called Shirong Pharmacy is because the name of the owner of this pharmacy is Zhang Shirong, so the name of the pharmacy is taken from the last two words of the boss's name.
In his previous life, Li Yinglong was more familiar with the owner of this pharmacy, because he often bought Li Yinglong's firewood, and the medicinal materials that Li Yinglong usually collected were also sold to this pharmacy.
Acquaintances are easy to do, so Li Yinglong came to this pharmacy to sell ginseng.
Li Yinglong paused in front of the door of Shirong Pharmacy for a while, and then walked into the door of the pharmacy and entered inside.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy happened to be inside, and when he saw that the person who came in was Li Yinglong, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and asked, "Brother Li, have you come to sell firewood?"
Li Yinglong smiled and said: I'm not here to sell firewood today, I dug up a ginseng tree on the mountain and brought it to you to take a look.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: What, you dug up a ginseng, how many years?
Li Yinglong said casually: It should be about a hundred years.
Hearing this, the owner of the pharmacy was very pleasantly surprised and said: What, ginseng about a hundred years old, quickly, take it out and show it to me.
Li Yinglong took out the hundred-year-old ginseng from a rag bag he was carrying and handed it to the pharmacy owner.
The owner of the pharmacy took the ginseng wrapped in a piece of brown paper, then carefully opened it and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he said: Yes, this ginseng is a hundred years old, and it is a good ginseng with all beards and tails, and it is in excellent condition.
After that, he asked Li Yinglong: Brother Li, do you want to sell this ginseng?
Li Yinglong nodded and said: Yes, I want to sell.
Then he asked: Do you want Boss Zhang?
Hearing this, the owner of the pharmacy hurriedly said: Of course I want it, I can't do such a good ginseng.
After that, he asked: Little Brother Li, what price do you want to sell this ginseng for?
Hearing this, Li Yinglong smiled and said: Boss Zhang, you are a pharmacy, you understand the market, give a price, as long as the price is right, I will not go to another house.
Of course, the owner of the pharmacy didn't want Li Yinglong to sell it at another house, so after a little thought, he said: In our Tiangui Town, the purchase price of a hundred years of ginseng is five hundred taels of silver, but the quality of your ginseng is excellent, so I will give you five hundred and fifty taels of silver. Brother Li, you see the price is good.
In fact, Li Yinglong didn't know the purchase price of ginseng, and felt that the price given by Boss Zhang was okay, so he said: Okay, just this price, I'll sell it to you.
After a moment's pause, he said: Five hundred and fifty taels of cash is a bit heavy, it's not easy to take, Boss Zhang, can you give me fifty taels of cash and five hundred taels of silver tickets.
Also, if you give five hundred and fifty taels of cash, it is too heavy to hold.
Hearing this, the boss of the pharmacy said very happily: Okay, just do what Brother Zhang said.
The owner of the pharmacy gave Wang Tianlun a silver ticket of 500 taels, a scattered silver ticket of 500 taels, a silver ticket of 200 taels, and three silver tickets of 100 taels.
Li Yinglong took the silver ticket and was about to leave with the scattered silver, when he suddenly saw a young and beautiful woman walking in from outside, and recognized this woman after a closer look, she was the woman that Li Yinglong saved from the hands of the three wolves of Tiangui a few days ago, that is, the white tiger girl in the mouth of Brother Ning and Fat Ball.
