Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ginseng Chicken Soup
Ginseng can be sold for the price of turnips, Jia Yi feels that he has made money this time, looking at the quality of these ginseng, although the roots are not very many, the size is not very large, and it has not reached the level of a hundred years, but it is definitely a few decades old, just this pile of ginseng, in the eyes of people who know it, is enough to cover hundreds of gold, and it is thanks to the fact that people now do not know what the effect of this radish thing is, so that it can be sold at an ultra-low price of fifty yuan a catty.
The peddler was overjoyed, these things were brought back by the way when he went to Liaodong to buy fur, basically he didn't spend much money, but he didn't expect that someone would ask for fifty yuan, and today he really encountered a big wrong.
The hawker was afraid that Jia Yi would regret it, so he wrapped up thirty-two catties of ginseng and put it in Jia Yi's hands, hesitated to come out with two catties, and the hawker felt that he couldn't make too much money, so he gave it to Jia Yi very generously.
There are really good things in the big city, holding thirty-two catties of ginseng in his arms, Jia Yi's mouth has never been closed, and he doesn't even care about the unique unpleasant temperature in the East Market.
After looking at it, there is really nothing good, Jia Yi is going to go to Qin Qiong's house to have a look, the housekeeper has called the master for a long time, but he has not come to the door once, it just so happens that now that he has ginseng, he also went to recuperate Qin Qiong's body, I believe that these ginseng should be able to make Qin Qiong live for a few more years.
Jia Yi now clearly knows the truth of enjoying the shade under the big tree, with Qin Qiong as a big backer, whatever he does, it will basically be much smoother.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the East Market, a pile of black ore attracted his attention, isn't this coal, it is really a nowhere to find it when he steps on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
"How do you sell this thing?" Jia Yi thought that there was also a cheap place to take advantage of, so he didn't name the coal for the first time.
"Fifty wen a catty, no counteroffer."
The coal seller was an old man, who looked up at Jia Yi, then lowered his head again, squinted his eyes and continued to nap.
Jia Yi looked at the ginseng in his arms, and then looked at the coal piled on the ground, and wondered why these two goods would be the same price, Jia Yi was really too lazy to bargain, and said to the old man: "How many of you are sent to Duqu County, Lin Mansion, I will also want to mine it in the future, and I will tell you a secret, when you go down to the pit to mine, remember to support it with wooden shelves around it, so that the pit can become stronger, and don't dig deeper, no matter how deep it is, it will be hell, and whoever goes down will not come back." ”
Coal mine collapse is also a common thing in later generations, how many people died at every turn, how many people were buried, even if the protection is good, it is impossible to avoid it, digging deep is even worse, there is either gas or underground river inside, as long as it is dug out, then there is no one to live, especially in these years digging coal in the pit or lighting the lamp, it is purely to find death.
Hearing Jia Yi's admonition, the old man's face was full of shock, how did the young boy in front of him know the experience they had summed up with their lives for generations, as the young man said, some of their families were buried, some were blown up, and some were dug too deep, and there was no sound for some reason.
"Childe is talented, I hope that Childe will teach you the precautions for mining coal, and I am willing to send you a thousand catties of coal."
"You are all bitter miners, how can I ask for your coal for nothing, besides, these are not big things, it doesn't hurt to tell you everything."
Jia Yi picked up the key points and told the old man all the precautions for coal mining in later generations, and even the structure of the shelf Jia Yi drew a sketch for the old man on the ground, as for the groundwater and gas, Jia Yi did not say it explicitly, just told them, don't dig deep.
The old man expressed his gratitude to Jia Yiyi, but his face was full of hesitation, as if he had something to ask Jia Yi.
"There's nothing else to ask, but it doesn't hurt to ask."
"Childe, although this charcoal burns warmer than charcoal, the smoke is much more serious than charcoal, so that only poor families buy some coal in winter, and the rich and noble families don't look down on it at all, and they still hope for Childe's guidance."
"It's not a big deal, in this way, you send these to the Lin Mansion first, and then I'll tell you how to use the charcoal when I go back."
Isn't it just a stove, it's a big deal, but Jia Yi thinks this thing is really troublesome to say, draw a picture for him, and I'm afraid that he won't understand, it just so happens that his kiln also needs a lot of coal, so just use this in exchange and let them send him some coal every year.
Compared with the Sifang Restaurant, the Yiguo Mansion is much easier to find, there are few people in Chang'an who don't know, just ask, Jia Yi appeared in front of the Yiguo Mansion, looking at the tall gatehouse, Jia Yi felt that the gatehouse of the Lin Mansion was really weak, and there was a huge plaque, one can top the Lin Mansion five, this is the real high-end atmosphere on the grade.
Just about to go in, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the main entrance, and looked at it, isn't this Sun Simiao.
Hurriedly came to the door, and was just about to say hello to Sun Simiao, but the two doormen standing at the door stopped him from the door.
"Daring maniac, do you know what kind of place this is, how can you trespass and not quickly retreat."
Jia Yi didn't want to suffer from that flesh and skin, so he hurriedly retreated to the door, preparing to wait for Sun Simiao to come out, and then ask him what he was doing here, however, seeing that Sun Simiao was about to come out, a shout made Sun Simiao turn around and walk back.
In desperation, Jia Yi could only come to the doorman again, respectfully salute the two doormen, and then said: "I still bother the two of you to report on your behalf, I have something important to ask to see Yiguo Gong." ”
"Little businessman, you dare to see my master, if you let you in, it will defile my house, get out, don't let me do it."
The dog looked at the people and said these two, Jia Yi really wanted to turn his head and leave, but these ginseng were bought for Qin Qiong, if he retreated halfway, wouldn't his previous efforts be wasted?
Just when Jia Yi was thinking about what to do, a little guy hurriedly walked out of the door, looking at his anxious face, it seemed that something was going on in the house.
The door is not easy to deal with, this Ding may be able to talk better, Jia Yi dodged in front of the little guy one by one, bowed down and asked, "I don't know what happened in the house, why is the little brother's footsteps in such a hurry." ”
"I have a fart relationship with you, get out of the way, the master doesn't have time to grind his teeth with you." After the little guy finished speaking, he directly pulled Jia Yipao aside, worthy of being from the Guogong Mansion, and his temper was not ordinary.
Uncle, Lao Tzu has good things for Qin Qiong, you dogs still blocked Lao Tzu from the door, and the anger rushed out of his heart, looked at the little guy in the distance, walked quickly to the doorman, raised his head and said: "I am the captain of the Tianji Guard, I have something important to report to the master, if you delay the master's major event, be careful of your head." ”
"Dog thief, so daring, I actually deceived the Guogong Mansion, see if I don't clean you up."
The two doormen were just about to make a move on Jia Yi, and a young handsome boy hurriedly walked out of the door, just saw what was happening at the door, and broke off with a drink, so that the two doormen stopped.
"Stop, what happened to let you do it in front of the house."
"Young master......" One of the doormen bowed to the young man in response.
Jia Yi stayed where he was holding the ginseng, could this be Qin Qiong's only son, Qin Huaiyu?
"Who are you, and why do you want to see my father?"
"Young master, I am Jia Yi, an instructor of the Tianji Capital Guardian Mansion's Participating Army Instructor Team, and I came today to ask to see the master for something important."
Qin Huaiyu looked at Jia Yi with a puzzled face and asked, "Since you are the captain of the Heavenly Machine Protector Mansion, why do you call my father master?" ”
This question, but Jia Yi asked, he didn't know why he called Master Qin Qiong, he only knew that Zhang Daren called him that, so he followed suit.
"Isn't that what Zhang Daren also called?"
"Haha, Zhang Daren is a retainer in charge of managing the generals of my family, and my father gave him the title of captain, and you are not my family, how can you call my father the master."
Khan, it has been bad for so long to dare to love, Jia Yi's face turned red, but he didn't know how to respond.
As soon as Jia said Zhang Daren's name, he basically confirmed that he was the protector of the Heavenly Machine, so there was nothing wrong with getting close to the Qin family
"If you have a military report, then please come back in a few days, my father is not feeling well today, and it is not suitable to work."
Qin Qiong can still have any discomfort, it is nothing more than overwork, her body is very weak, and the things we are holding in our arms are just for this disease.
His face was full of joy, and he hurriedly said, "Less, ...... Childe, the little one came here today for this purpose. ”
"You?"
"Exactly, what the kid is holding in his arms is the only medicine to cure the old problems of the national prince."
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
"Please."
Qin Qiong is sick, otherwise he can't invite Sun Simiao to come, at this time, the Qin Mansion is about to make a ruckus, and now that he hears that there is a cure, even if Qin Huaiyu is not sure, but if there is a little hope, he will give it a try.
After walking behind Qin Huaiyu for a long time, he came to the outside of Qin Qiong's room, and Jia didn't have time to feel the huge amount of the Qin Mansion, so he took a look at Sun Simiao.
"Sun Shenxian, has it always been good?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course, it's to send good medicine to the national government." Jia Yi waved the ginseng in his hand to Sun Simiao, and said with a smile.
"What medicine?"
"Hungry, this thing can't be explained clearly, just try the effect of the medicine."
As soon as Jia finished speaking, he stingily pinched off a whisker from a person, handed it to Sun Simiao, and said, "Mash it and feed it to Guogong, and the effect of the medicine will be immediately obvious." ”
