Chapter Eighty-Five: An Undercurrent Surges

Both the fragrance and the feel are no different from the cool oil that I brought with me. He said: "I don't know how much it costs? ”

Wang Dingyi: "Medicinal materials are not worth a few dollars, and the amount of a hundred is only a penny." It's just that the box is more expensive, and one costs about three cents. If it is made in large quantities, the master of the carpenter shop said that the price is negotiable, and it may be reduced to two cents a piece. ”

Li Feibai squinted and didn't speak, and said after a while: "You ask the master of the carpenter's shop to make more boxes, the first batch is set at 50,000, and the subsequent amount should be above 1 million a year, see if you can talk about the price for a penny." ”

Wang Dingyi: "So much, can you sell it?" ”

Li Feibai said: "I will go to Kaifeng tomorrow, and I may be able to sell it if I go through the door." After a pause, he said, "How many are in this box?" ”

Wang Dingyi: "A thousand!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Okay, I'll take it to Kaifeng tomorrow!" The two gossiped for a while, and Wang Yuexuan led Li Shizhen back from outside. Li Feibai played with Li Shizhen for a while and asked, "Grandpa Wang, I like this child very much, can you take it to Kaifeng tomorrow?" ”

Wang Dingyi and Li Yanwen are busy studying how to make anesthetics these days, and they don't have time to take care of Li Shizhen at all. I wanted to ask a private school teacher to teach Li Shizhen for a while, but there was no suitable candidate, so I let Wang Yuexuan take care of it these days. He thought that it was naturally good for someone to help take care of Li Shizhen, and it was better to follow Li Feibai to Kaifeng for a long time than to stay at home with Wang Yuexuan, so he said: "As long as you don't feel troublesome, take him with you!" ”

Li Feibai said: "I don't know if Uncle Li is relieved to let me take it." ”

Wang Dingyi smiled and said: "I have told Li Yanwen about you, he appreciates your character a lot, and wants to find a chance to get acquainted with you." When I went back, he would have agreed. ”

Li Feibai said: "Then please ask Grandpa Wang!" ”

Wang Dingyi and three sat in the shop for a while, then said goodbye and left. After a while, Wang Yaojian and Yang Zhen were informed by the household and the workshop, and came to visit Li Feibai one after another.

The two of them were not taken seriously before, the young one was in Xidaku for the elderly, and the other was idle in the workshop, so they got the opportunity to go to Kaifeng this time to prove that they had been taken seriously and officially entered Zhao Xuefei's eyes. They knew that the reason for such a result was all due to Li Feibai, so they naturally thanked Li Feibai for their kindness, and they didn't know how many loyal words they said.

Li Feibai was polite, took out the silver he had taken from the tent, left twenty or thirty taels for the exchange expenses, and handed over the rest to the two, let the two buy some local products, and hire two big cars, come to the store tomorrow to gather, and try to arrive in Kaifeng tomorrow evening or the next morning.

After sending off Yang Wang and the others, Li Feibai remembered that his father was going to come to the county seat in the next two days, and he originally wanted to discuss with his father how to make a thousand stone lions in a year. I'm afraid that it will take seven or eight days to go to Kaifeng, and I will delay this matter. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first year of making more than 1,000 stone lions is already a bit bottomless, and if it is delayed for seven or eight more days, it will be even more bottomless.

After thinking about it, he went upstairs and knocked on Hou Yanmin's door. Hou Yanmin was painting in front of the desk, and a rope was pulled in the room, and more than a dozen works were already hanging on it.

Li Feibai first praised the good of these paintings, and then said that he would go to Kaifeng tomorrow, and he would take all these paintings to Kaifeng to see if they could be sold.

Hou Yanmin has been with Li Feibai for a long time, and knows that Li Feibai knows nothing about painting at all, and he is not interested in painting. After a perfunctory sentence, he said: "If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush and say these boring things." ”

Li Feibai smiled awkwardly, explained his intentions, and told him how to recruit people to carve stone lions by hand, and told Hou Yanmin to wait for his father to come, and let his father do what he arranged! Hou Yanmin agreed, leaned over to paint in front of the case, and Li Feibai said goodbye. When I came to the shop and sat for a while, I felt that it was not interesting and went to wander around the street. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a butcher carrying a half-fan of pig on his back. He ducked away, not knowing whether the butcher had done it on purpose or by chance, and stumbled towards him.

Li Feibai used the gossip dragon step to avoid it, but the butcher threw himself on the ground, and half of the pig also fell to the ground, stained with dust. Li Feibai hurriedly helped the butcher up, and helped put the half of the pig on the butcher's shoulder, when he heard the butcher say softly: "Li Gongzi, deal with it carefully tonight." After speaking, he said thank you at the top of his throat and raised his legs.

When the butcher walked out a few steps, Li Feibai knew that the person was Qin Meng. Unexpectedly, after Qin Meng dressed up in disguise, he didn't recognize it. He naturally knew Qin Meng's words, and wanted to go to the yamen to inform Ma Kun, but he was afraid that Qin Meng or he would have a tail behind him, and he was only afraid of exposing Qin Meng's identity when he went to the yamen at this time, and he was also afraid of startling the snake. Touching the pistol in his sleeve, he didn't plan to inform Ma Kun and continued to wander the street.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw someone riding a horse whistling by, and he ran out not far before pulling the horse and stopping. The person on the horse turned out to be Ma Kun, and he laughed and said, "Brother Feibai, why is it so coincidental." ”

Li Feibai said secretly: "I'm afraid it won't be such a coincidence, it must be Ma Kun who sent someone to stare at him, and found that the person who hit him was Ma Kun who went to inform him after Qin Meng pretended to be." This is really a mountain rain about to come, and the seemingly calm Jiyuan City is actually surging undercurrent. He greeted Ma Kun and said, "Where is Brother Ma?" ”

Ma Kun said: "There are cases outside the city that I need to deal with in person. ”

The two of them stood in the street and made a noise. Li Feibai took advantage of Ma Kun's loud voice to lower his voice and said, "It's time tonight!" ”

Ma Kun took advantage of Li Feibai's loud voice, and also lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything." ”

Li Feibai separated from Ma Kun, took the opportunity to help Ma Kun get on the horse, and said softly: "Don't move Qin Meng, that's my person!" ”

Ma Kun hesitated for a moment and rode away. admired Li Feibai in his heart, this kid had only been in Jiyuan City for a few days, and he had turned the most important person around Wang Wu against him. It's really incredible, and it's incomprehensible.

The sky is getting darker, and every house in the city is lit with candles, and a scene of bright lights is beginning to appear.

Not far from the Li Ji stone carving shop, there is an inn, called Yunji Inn, and took a colorful head that gathers like a crowd. Because Jiyuan is located in a remote area, there are not many merchants, this gathering inn has never appeared in the scene of gathering guests, but today this inn is abnormal, the guests are full, and even the buddy's room and the shopkeeper's room have to be vacated to deal with it.

The guy found that there was something wrong with the guests staying in the hotel today, the clothes were bulging, and they seemed to have hidden weapons, so it shouldn't be a robber who robbed the house! He told the shopkeeper his suspicions. The shopkeeper asked, "Are there any arrears?" ”

The guy shook his head and said, "Not really! ”

The shopkeeper said, "Don't care about him!" "Yes, as long as there is money to be made, why bother whether the guest officer who lives in the house is a house or a house! He only opened an inn, not a yamen.

The door of Tianzi No. 1 was opened, and people came in and out from time to time, and good news came one after another. The chief of the government went out of the city to handle the case! Today is the county lord's closing day, and except for the twenty or thirty officials who stayed behind in the yamen, the other officials are resting at home. So far, there has been no sign of the officials resting at home gathering at the yamen. Li Feibai was ignorant and ignorant, and neither hired people to prevent it nor sued the official for protection.
