Red Dust Inn Chapter 79 Selling medicine
Zhao Zheng's jump was two meters high, and it was straight on the spot, without any sprint. He landed lightly on the branch, which trembled a few times, very little. He bounced again with the force of the branch, landed on the higher branch, reached out and plucked the kite from among the branches, and spun back to the ground, his clothes fluttering like waves.
"Wow, big brother, you jumped really high."
"That's amazing! It's amazing! ”
"I heard my father and mother say that there are clouds under the feet of martial artists, and jumping up is like flying, this big brother must be a martial artist."
The children talked a lot, rushed up, and surrounded Zhao Zhengtuan.
Zhao Zheng smiled and returned the kite to the group of children, stroked the head of one of the children a few times, got rid of the children's encirclement, and continued to move forward.
Since Hua Xiangrong opened up the yīn seesaw pulse for him, his light skill has increased greatly, and he has jumped to the third layer, and now he has performed Luo Yanbu, and he can succeed nine times out of ten, and the probability of failure is very small, and he can already use it in actual combat. He can now reach two meters in a single leap, and when he runs, his legs are tornailed, faster than his galloping horse, and his speed has improved considerably.
In battle, strength, skill, and speed can all play a decisive role. As the so-called martial arts in the world, only speed is not broken, and the advantage of speed is sometimes more important than strength and skill. No matter how powerful the enemy is or how clever his moves are, as long as he can hit the vital point with one hit, he will win directly!
Zhao Zheng has an intuitive judgment on the improvement of his own strength, if he is asked to fight with Qian Chong again now, he is sure that before Qian Chong reacts, he will subdue Qian Chong with one move, without the slightest suspense. If he is allowed to fight with a group of wolves, he will not have no chance of winning, he can rely on Luo Yanbu to maneuver with the wolves, avoid the edge of the wolves, and kill the outliers one by one, so as to weaken the wolves.
The obvious improvement in strength has brought Zhao Zheng more confidence, and even his eyes have become more radiant.
After walking through this dirt road, Zhao Zheng came to a familiar door.
Familiar earthen walls, familiar broken doors, this is Ma'an's home.
Zhao Zheng refined the Tiger Power Strong* Yang Dan, and he needed to find someone to sell it instead of him, he thought of Ma An for the first time at that time, and thought that Ma An was the most suitable.
Ma An is very poor, very honest, and he knows Zhao Zheng, so he is really a good candidate.
Zhao Zheng walked to the mottled wooden door, knocked a few times, and there were people in the yard, and quickly opened the door for him. The person who opened the door was Ma'an's mother. An old woman with gray hair and a wrinkled face.
The old man was old and didn't remember it well, so he didn't recognize Zhao Zhenglai. Zhao Zheng claimed to be a friend of Ma An and came to talk to Ma An about something. The old man invited Zhao Zheng into the courtyard, scooped a bowl of water for Zhao Zheng, and sat down to talk to Zhao Zheng. Ma An's mother thought that Ma An owed money outside, and she seemed very uneasy.
Zhao Zheng took a sip of water, picked up the unfinished bamboo basket on the ground, and tried to weave it, which was supposed to pass the time.
It didn't take long for Ma An to come back with the unsold bamboo basket on his back and limp into the hospital. He also brought the little girl who was always snotty, and the little girl was wearing a red sè flower cloth skirt. After Ma An entered the hospital, he found that Zhao was present, and said in surprise: "Zhao Gongzi, why are you here?" ”
"Why can't I come?" Zhao Zheng put down the messy bamboo basket, dusted off the soil on his palm, and smiled at Ma An.
"Of course you can come, you are a distinguished guest of our Ma family, and you are welcome to come here at any time." Ma An turned from surprise to joy, put down the bamboo basket, led the way in front, invited Zhao Zheng into the house, and told his mother to go out to buy some wine and food and come back, saying that he wanted to feast Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng didn't want Ma An to break the bank, so he took out some broken silver from his pocket and handed it to Ma An's mother. The two sides have been arguing about this for a while, and there is no need to talk about it.
After taking a seat in the house, Ma An lowered his voice and thanked Zhao Zheng: "Zhao Gongzi, thank you for taking a righteous action, eradicating the scourge of Qian Chong, and speaking out for me. ”
"I didn't just kill Qian Chong for you, no need to thank you." Zhao Zheng shook his head, in his opinion, the matter about Qian Chong had already passed, and there was no need to talk about it again.
"Even if it's not for the money, but for the money you gave me, I should thank you. With the money you gave me, my family is much more comfortable, and the new clothes on my daughter's baby were bought with the money you gave me. Ma'an was still grateful.
"Hehe, that bit of silver, in fact, can't do anything, even if it's a poor family, it can be spent in two years to save money."
"Fifty taels is nothing to you, Childe, but it is definitely a huge amount of money for my family."
"But aren't you still weaving bamboo baskets to sell, these fifty taels have not changed your life."
"Even if we have a lot of money, we can't sit back and eat nothing. And I, as a father, have to save some dowry money for the girl, so as not to be looked down upon when the girl grows up and marries into her in-law's family in the future. Ma An said honestly.
Zhao Zheng saw that the topic fell on money, and Suo Xìng took advantage of this topic to showdown and said: "Brother Ma, in fact, I have a good thing to find you this time, you can do this for me, and ensure that you can make a lot of money, and you don't have to sell any bamboo baskets anymore." ”
"What do you command? Could it be ...... Are you going to kill again? Ma An asked cautiously tentatively.
"Rest assured, this is not a dangerous thing, but a good deal." Zhao Zheng said as he untied a medicinal gourd from his waist, opened the lid, poured out a red pill, and put it on the table. This elixir is not unusual, it looks like a red ball.
"What is this?" Ma An asked, pointing to the elixir.
"This is a drug called Huli Zhuang * Yang Dan, which has the effect of aphrodisiac * yang and tonifying the kidney, and the effect is very fast, and the maintenance time is very long. I made this medicine myself, and I plan to send it to some fireworks places to sell, because I am busy, so I want to find you to do it for me and help me run the business. After this elixir is sold for money, of course, your benefits are indispensable, and it will definitely make more money than if you sell bamboo baskets. Zhao Zheng replied.
"This medicine is so amazing?"
"If you don't believe me, you can take a bite, and I think it will work with just a small bite."
"Forget it. My wife has already run away with someone, and if this medicine is really that effective, who will I find to put out the fire after I take it? Ma An smiled bitterly.
"Haha, don't worry, this medicine is absolutely effective, there is no need to test it, you can just take it for me and sell it." Zhao Zheng laughed.
"I'm selling this drug for money, and it's a bit unpleasant to say." Ma An hesitated slightly.
"Pedantic, let me ask you, do you think money is important or reputation is important?"
Ma An was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The rìzi who has no money is really sad, he is controlled everywhere, and he will be looked down upon by others, so money is still important." Since Childe has a fancy for me, then I will not postpone it, and I will do my best to complete this deal for Childe. Childe, if you have any orders, just say it. ”
"That's right if you agree, where can you find this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing." Zhao Zheng picked up the red sè pill on the table, pinched it in his hand and shook it twice, "Actually, this transaction is very easy to do, I have a total of five pills here, you take them all, and then find the five largest Qinglou in Qibao County, each of them will send one pill, and let those people take it back for experimentation." After they have tried the effect of this medicine, they must be very satisfied, and they will naturally come to you without you looking for them. ”
"This matter is indeed not difficult, but Childe, you see, my clothes are full of patches, and I am dressed like this, I can't even enter the door of the Qinglou, and I will be kicked out as soon as I enter." Ma An spread his hands and showed off the clothes on his body, which were simply put together from rags.
"That's easy, I'll give you some money, and you can use it to buy a new set of clothes to wear. People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and when you change clothes, you can immediately become another person, ensuring that the people in the Qinglou dare not underestimate you. Zhao Zheng took out a thumb-sized silver ingot from his sleeve and knocked it on the table.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Ma An took the money in his hand and added, "Childe, don't worry, I only buy a set of cheap clothes, and I will return the rest of the money to you when the time comes." ”
"You can keep all this scrap money. Just when I give you an advance. When this elixir sells well in the future, I will give you another benefit. Zhao Zheng said generously.
Next, Zhao Zheng talked to Ma An about some details, and after Ma An's mother bought the wine and food, the two had a drink. Zhao Zheng took this opportunity to deliberately pour a few more cups of Ma An and drunk Ma An, in order to test whether Ma An would lose his words after drinking. He found that Ma An was not strong enough to drink at all, and after a few drinks, he was confused and full of nonsense, so it seems that he must tell Ma An not to drink with others in the future, so as not to leak his affairs.
When night fell, Zhao Zheng refused Ma An's retention, left Ma An's home, and returned to his own home. The next day, he went to various medical centers in Qibao County to buy a large number of medicinal materials in preparation for refining the Tiger Bone Pill and the Tiger Power Strong* Yang Pill. This time he bought medicinal materials, he found that the prices of these medicinal materials had risen, and it seemed that his behavior of buying medicinal materials on a large scale affected the entire medicinal materials market, causing the price to fluctuate.
While Zhao Zheng secretly scolded all kinds of merchants for being black-hearted, he was also inspired to understand that doing business should be black-hearted. It seems that he has to set the price of Hu Lizhuang* Yang Dan high, and divide it into three grades, the low ones are adulterated with flour, the medium ones are mixed with half flour, and the high ones are complete pills, so that they should be able to cater to more customers with consumption levels, and stimulate consumption, so that people compete to buy the highest grade pills.
……
There are probably only two kinds of people who will come to the Qinglou during the day, the first is the person who is extremely hungry and thirsty during the day, and the second is the person who talks to the Qinglou about business.
Ma An is the latter, he is not here for those flowery girls, but to sell the elixir in his hand. He was wearing a clean set of new clothes, and even his hair had been taken care of, but despite this, he still seemed a little timid, and hesitated for a long time before stepping into the door of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
