Chapter 34 Selling Medicine and Drinking
In the wind was a yellow-robed old man who walked briskly, wearing patched coarse cloth trousers and carrying a large bamboo basket full of herbs on his back. When he entered Xiushui Town, Lao Suo slowed down, looked at the shops that were only one street, and when he saw the door of a tavern, he was sitting on a stool drinking wine, and walked over with a smile.
"Bring it! "Ziya fishing urged out.
An Ran took out the medicine hoe from the package and threw it to Lao Suo, "This wine is very delicious, do you want to have some of it?" The young man asked.
"Can you taste it?" Ziya Fishing tapped his fingers on the table, stared at An Ran, and said, "What about the medicinal herbs?" Didn't you say you got a lot? ”
"Hey! I find you old fellow, why are you more anxious than us young people? It's not very stable, it's very unstable! An Ran said as she put the various medicinal herbs in the package on the table.
"Nonsense! Ever since I gave you the medicine hoe, your boy's name has turned gray and there is no news of you, and I thought you would never enter this tour...... Fire Reishi! How is this possible? “
The old man's originally flat tone was suddenly provoked by the fire lingzhi that An Ran threw on the table.
An Ran was still unhurriedly putting the medicinal herbs away.
"Qingyun Snow Lotus! Millennial agave! ”
Ziya's fishing voice rose higher and higher, his eyes lit up with greed, for an old man who liked medicine, these extremely rare and precious medicinal materials were not intriguing for him.
"You dug all these treasures in the mountains?" The old man rubbed his hands together and couldn't help but pick up a fiery red herb on the table.
An Ran took out the 'bamboo horse' on his waist and gently tapped the back of the old man's disobedient hand, and the handsome young man pressed the bamboo cane on the already piled up herbs, and looked at the old man with a playful smile.
"Where's the money?" He asked.
"What money?" The old man wondered.
An Ran stretched out a slap and shook it in front of him, "Five-five, I said it was good." ”
"Now?" The yellow-clothed old man had a slight anger on his face, "Didn't you say that you would give me medicinal materials and the profits from the sale of my developed medicines?" Although these medicinal materials are precious, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to develop them, and how much price can the drugs I develop sell? Has anyone bought it? It's an unknown, do you want to let the old guy take the risk alone? ”
"Okay!" An Ran shrugged and began to put the medicinal herbs on the table into the package one by one. "If you don't want to take this risk, others will rush to take it, let's sell these medicinal materials to the pharmacy in the city, and if the precious ones are left, I will throw them in the auction house, or I may not suffer a loss at the auction conference, boy, I don't force you old man, our business is not benevolent, don't pass it!"
"You wait!" The yellow-clothed old man was suddenly anxious, and stretched out his hand to stop An Ran's move to collect medicinal materials. "Business! It's just to talk about it, let's discuss! Good to discuss! He immediately said with a smile on his face.
"Oh?" An Ran stopped his movements and waited for him to continue.
"To be honest, these medicinal materials are in excellent condition, of course I'm not talking about those ordinary yellow lotus, banlan root or something, for example, this fire lingzhi is not available in the major pharmacies now, so I actually don't know what their price is, the money is more for you! Old man, I suffer, give less! Your little brother has suffered again, and besides, where do I have so many coins on me to buy these medicinal herbs from you? “
"Renminbi is also okay," An Ran helped him come up with an idea, "Old man, you are a doctor studying medicine, how much benefit can these medicinal materials be brought to others by refining into pills, I think you probably have a number in your heart, and the development of these precious medicinal materials will probably also be of great help to the improvement of your medical skills as a game character." As for how much money it can sell for later...... So be it! You will interrogate these medicinal materials and look at them, and I will never be blushing at how much you can earn in the future, even if you suffer a big loss, it is my business - after all, it is a blessing to suffer a loss. “
He had a sentence that said to the heart of the old man in yellow, that studying and cherishing medicinal materials, boiling potions, and refining elixirs can indeed improve the doctor's medical skills. So don't talk about making money, many later players enter Huaxia and choose some life occupations, in order to improve their professional skills, many times often have to buy some materials to rush the skill level, some talented, by various sects and gangs enshrined up life professional players are fine, and other life professional players who are not favored by the big guys are often not happy, and the money earned in the game with skills is spent because they want to improve their skills. In other words, in the Chinese world, no matter what profession the player chooses, only a few people can live a nourishing life.
Ziya fishing is one of these few people, first of all, he will not worry about his food and drink in real life, and secondly, this old man with a solid family also has a few spare money, which can be thrown into the waterhole of Huaxia. A lot of people don't actually understand this kind of behavior, it's just a game, why do you throw so much money into it? Can a quilt keep you full? Skills can you wear warmly? Neither, but it can make people happy; It can make people realize their dreams that cannot be realized in reality, and if they can buy a favorite, why not buy it? Therefore, Ziya fishing will dress up in disguise, carry a bamboo basket to climb mountains and wade through rivers to find rare herbs, and it is rare to see them in these herbal shops, and it is difficult to buy them with money; Second, for him, it is a kind of fun to travel in the mountains and rivers, find medicinal materials, and develop medicinal materials, and don't forget that the old guy's dream is to be a miracle doctor.
Ziya Fishing carefully flipped the number of medicinal materials on the table, his mouth kept muttering, the old man in yellow was calculating in his heart how many of these medicinal materials there were and how much they would be worth, because many of the medicinal materials that An Ran took out were not available in the usual pharmacies in the current Huaxia game, so it was difficult to calculate. After a long time, the old man stopped what he was doing, straightened up and let out a sigh.
"Brother Enron, I really can't calculate the price of these medicinal materials, it's better to do this, I'll give you a sum of money first, let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand, and if the income is more than double this money after the drug is sold in the future, I will continue to pay you with a profit of five or five times, if the income is less than double the money I gave you, how about you return my excess money and share our interests equally?"
"That's a good idea." An Ran agreed
Then the two said WeChat, and at the same time took off their helmets and went to trade outside the game.
The hunchback shopkeeper was beside the three of them, and the NPC old man didn't know much about An Ran and Ziya's fishing behavior and asked, "Why do these adventurers always stand still while talking?" ”
"It's best not to delve into the behavior of adventurers," Fan Yuntian said as he knocked the melon seeds on the other table, "otherwise it will make people want to go crazy." ”
"Actually, some of the medicinal herbs on this table are very good for the body to drink, so it's a pity to sell them like this!" The hunchbacked shopkeeper shook his head slightly and sighed.
Fan Yuntian thinks about everything.
Soon the two came back, Ziya fishing is converted into RMB in the proportion of coins in the game, and paid to An Ran through WeChat, for now, a copper coin in Huaxia is worth a dime of RMB, and a silver coin is equivalent to ten yuan. The yellow-clothed old man gave An Ran a total of 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 2,000 silver coins in Huaxia games, and the total number of gold coins is also 20.
An Ran is actually very happy in his heart, a trip to Qingyun Mountain, he earned a full 20,000 yuan in the game in less than a week, and he can earn more than 3,000 a day, which is comparable to playing World of Warcraft, running advertisements, and distributing flyers before? Of course, the account is not calculated like this, but the handsome young man doesn't care, he doesn't even care if this batch of medicinal materials is sold for extra money in the future, and whether this old man in yellow called 'Ziya Fishing' will continue to give him money.
"This is important," he thought, "and the important thing is that Lao Tzu has finally earned his first pot of gold through this game, and there is still a lot of money." ”
When Ziya Fishing put all the medicinal materials into his personal package, An Ran happily asked the store for another pot of wine and a few dishes, and invited the hunchbacked old man to have a delicious meal by the way.
"Although we can't taste the taste of these wines and dishes," An Ran raised the white bowl and said, "But as long as people are happy, drinking this wine will be extremely sweet, come!" Let's do it together! ”
The four white bowls are gently slammed together.
After eating this bowl of wine, Ziya Fishing stood up and took the lead in saying goodbye to his big bamboo basket that was hidden from people. The system put his game character into a slightly drunken state, and probably this old guy is controlling his game character and thinks it looks like a loach; See the world swaying endlessly! Because An Ran is a little shaken when he sees everything in this world now, he feels a little drunk.
After paying for the wine and bidding farewell to the store, An Ran and Fan Yuntian walked out of Xiushui Town from south to north, and it was already noon at this time. An Ran had to choose to leave temporarily and go to another world to fill his Five Organs Temple. And Fan Yuntian didn't go back to the servant space, the NPC kid took out a book from the cloth bag on his back and read it carefully, he and Bailu quietly accompanied the master's side, one reading a book and the other looking into the distance.
An Ran's lunch was delayed for a long time, he fried himself a green pepper shredded pork and ate it with white rice, thought about it, the handsome young man simply didn't do it, and took a bottle of 'Laojiao' from the wine cabinet for the first time and drank several big sips to the mouth of the bottle. "It's a joy to be able to make money for the first time in the game today, since Lao Tzu can't experience the taste of wine in the game, can't he in reality?" He thought, okay! He was just drunk.
When he logged into the game with a slight drunkenness, An Ran found that the mountains and rivers of the Huaxia world were turning even faster, which led to the fact that when he tried to control the game character just now, the 'Enron' was a little unwilling to obey the call.
"If you can't drink it, don't drink it," Fan Yuntian closed the book and sneered after seeing his master go online: "You look like this is more twisted than a girl." “
"It's your business!" An Ran scolded and continued to hurry.
"The owner of the tavern said that in fact, many of the medicinal herbs we sell can be used to make wine and drink," Fan Yun hurried up, "He said that drinking the wine with medicinal herbs is good for his health, and he didn't expect you idiot to sell them all." Fan Yun complained.
"How does Lao Tzu know? You don't say it sooner. ”
"Brother Enron."
"Hmm!"
"What do you think would happen if we used the two demon pills given by Mr. Yu to make wine?"
An Ran shook slightly and looked at his servant, and found that this NPC kid seemed to have given birth to several overlapping shadows, and he gave him a thumbs up.
"Hiccup...... Clever! An Ran in reality burped, and his game character also burped, "Don't we know after we try it?" ”
The handsome man quickly took out the two thumb-sized yellow beads from his personal package, threw them all into the mixed wine gourd, and then held the wine gourd flat on his chest and shook it proudly a few times.
"Would you like a bite?" An Ran asked with a smile.
"No, that Mr. Yu said that this thing can't be served until the Vajra Realm...... Taking. The NPC kid suddenly remembered something, "Brother An Ran, did you really soak it in wine?" He asked timidly.
The sentence that Fan Yuntian added later was able to scare An Ran, who was slightly drunk in reality, awake.
"yes!" The handsome man muttered, "Mr. Yu said that these two thousand-year-old demon pills can only be taken until at least after our level fifty, and Lao Tzu actually uses them to make wine and drink them now." An Ran said as he raised his head and looked at his servant, his face getting worse and worse. Fuck you! Fan Yuntian!"
An Ran immediately pulled out the bamboo cane on his waist and threw himself at Fan Yuntian, and his servant had already felt a premonition that a catastrophe was coming, and he turned around and ran.
"Ahh It's none of my business! You made it yourself! “
Fan Yuntian hugged his head and scurried, and actually used the skill of 'Shadowing', the NPC boy's body flashed away, and when he reappeared, he directly hit a big rock ten yards away, and he was directly knocked to the ground with a snap, grinning in pain.
I don't know if it was because of the wine or an illusion, at that moment An Ran seemed to see a shadow suddenly dragged out behind Fan Yuntian, and when the NPC kid was knocked to the ground, the afterimage disappeared into its body.
An Ran walked over slowly and looked at Fan Yuntian, who was rubbing his buttocks.
In fact, he is just making a show, and for the time being, he is definitely not as good as Fan Yuntian, but although the NPC kid can beat him, he chooses to hug his head and run away. Of course An Ran knows that this is because he has feelings for him, no matter how bastard Fan Yuntian is, he can always fight with his brother because he doesn't agree, right? Why did Fan Yuntian 'cause trouble' in the tavern? It's not because he saw Brother An Ran insulting him by others, he felt uncomfortable.
Watching his master walk towards him step by step, Fan Yuntian, who was sitting on the ground, pitifully waved his hand in front of his chest.
"Don't come here! Save me! The NPC kid shouted.
The white deer tilted his head to the side as if in disdain, but his master reached out and pulled him up.
"Don't pretend! Although Lao Tzu's heart aches, he will not stick to you for a little external object. ”
Fan Yuntian scratched his head and smirked twice, "It's not Lao Tzu who threw the demon pill into the wine gourd." The NPC kid didn't admit defeat, but he was actually very moved in his heart, because the Millennium Demon Pill was really precious, and he was even more precious than the Millennium Demon Pill in Brother Enron's heart.
"You were so fast just now!" An Ran sighed, "These days, your 'shadow shock' is not practiced in vain, I seem to have seen that you have been able to pull out an afterimage, and I don't know if it is because of the drunkenness." But your posture is really not very elegant. “
"This is called practicing boxing a hundred times, and it is as similar to reading a book." Fan Yuntian said proudly, "In the tavern of Xiushui Town, Lao Tzu used this set of martial arts to capture the female Taoist, but just now, I was actually a little dizzy, so I didn't catch it and hit the stone." “
It is also practiced whenever I have time, and occasionally encounters wild monsters and uses it to practice; Even walking is practicing, and An Ran's level of using this set of swordsmanship is much lower than Fan Yuntian's. Maybe it's just a matter of talent! An Ran used the 'Contemplation' skill to check Fan Yuntian's physical attributes, and the explosiveness and agility of the NPC kid's body were different from ordinary people, and they were higher than Bailu, who was only in his 20s now. Maybe the swordsmanship of 'Shadow' is more suitable for Fan Yuntian, but An Ran is not discouraged, the handsome young man can clearly feel that his game character is easier to control than before, its strength, speed, agility, and it is rising step by step, otherwise in the tavern, he can't just sweep past and slap the two women twice. Since practicing boxing a hundred times can't be singular, then he will practice his mother a thousand times, ten thousand times, and believe that one day he will be able to learn something, this is Mr. Yu's expectation for An Ran, and it is also An Ran's guarantee to Mr. Yu.
"It's just that the gap between my level and Big Brother Lone Smoke is getting bigger and bigger," An Ran sighed when he thought of this, "Online games are always a place to level and equip. ”
"Do you want to get dizzy again?" An Ran opened the lid of the gourd and looked at his servant with a smile and asked.
"Do you still want to drink?" Fan Yuntian wondered.
"Or else?" An Ran raised the gourd and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and the liquor did not feel hot for him as a player. "Now that our demon pill is gone, we don't allow Lao Tzu to borrow wine to drown his sorrows?"
"It's even more sorrowful to borrow wine to drown your sorrows," Fan Yuntian said, "The demon pill is in the wine, what if we drink the wine brewed by this demon pill and suddenly die?" “
"I don't think so," An Ran took another sip, "This gourd is filled with seven or eight jars of 'Five Grains Brewed' Demon Pill, even though the anger is violent, I think the power of integrating into so much wine should be greatly reduced, let's drink it slowly in one sip, it should be fine, even if it dies violently, it is just death and some experience, don't forget that Lao Tzu is a gamer and you are Fan Yuntian who can be resurrected." ”
Hearing this, Fan Yuntian snatched the wine gourd from An Ran's hand and poured the wine on his head.
In fact, An Ran misunderstood, Mr. Yu originally told them not to take two demon pills before the King Kong Realm - that is, level fifty - the reason is that they will cause permanent damage to the body, this is not as simple as the game character dies and is resurrected, maybe it will make one or several physical attributes of the game character instantly reset to zero, and it is useless to practice no matter how many levels, to paraphrase the words of the online game, 'This game account is considered useless' As far as the general NPCs in the game are concerned, they will die in pain and then hang up.
Fortunately, Fan Yuntian didn't die of pain, and the NPC kid felt a warm current down his throat and into his stomach. Unlike the usual wine, this warm current swayed in the stomach a few times and did not stay, shuttling everywhere in the body, and finally it seemed to have found a home and settled in the dantian air pocket in Fan Yuntian's lower abdomen.
"It's so comfortable!" Fan Yuntian was not greedy and handed the gourd back to his master, "The wine is delicious and warm, just like a fire in that winter." ”
An Ran couldn't enjoy this comfortable feeling. Huaxia is fair, since it can't bring pain to the players' bodies, it won't let the players experience physical comfort here.
"Speak well! Don't make up the lyrics. An Ran covered the gourd lid and hung it on the waist pole.
"This is the lyrics?" Fan Yuntian raised an eyebrow and looked at his master.
"As smart as you fucking don't know it's lyrics?" An Ran smiled, "Where's your book?" What about your big data? It doesn't work! Lao Tzu tells you that this is an old song called "A Fire in Winter" is very famous. ”
"Cut! I believe you're a ghost. Fan Yuntian waved his hand and walked a little swaying.
"It's still a long way from Huaitao County! We need to hurry up. An Ran changed the topic and urged out, and he walked a little swaying.
"It's much faster to ride a little white." Fan Yuntian's eyes rolled.
"No way!" An Ran said categorically, "If it is not necessary, Lao Tzu will not ride Xiaobai as a horse, and you had better die of this heart if you have the surname Fan." ”
"You're eccentric, it's much better for Xiaobai than for Lao Tzu!" Fan Yuntian was not satisfied, and stomped his feet fiercely.
But now An Ran is already familiar with this routine of his servants, "Act, you continue." He said.
"Hey! Boring. Fan Yuntian rolled his eyes, put his hands behind the back of his head, and sang loudly: "The king sent me to patrol the mountains!" Il yo Il il yo ......"
The NPC kid's voice howls like killing a pig, like the spirit in "Journey to the West", and his size is also the size of Little Diamond Wind, but Fan Yuntian looks much cuter on the surface.
"Okay! Now you know the songs in "Journey to the West" again, it's really interesting! “
An Ran couldn't help but plug his ears with his fingers, but found that in reality, his index finger was poked on the helmet, so he could only endure this kid's ghost crying wolf.
Xiaobai finally couldn't stand it anymore, and raised his hooves to give Fan Yuntian next to him a kick to express his dissatisfaction. Fan Yuntian patted the dust on his buttocks and ignored it, took a few steps forward and continued to sing.
Suddenly, An Ran felt that it was actually good to be slightly drunk, swaying, and treating the world here as a part of life.
