Chapter 018: Black Shop
Li Kui is a dirt bun who has never seen the world.
Even if he has a forward-looking vision and has a forward-looking vision of almost a thousand years, after all, he is not a professional in history, and he knows a lot of common-sense knowledge. But in the Northern Song Dynasty, he still had to scratch his eyes blindly.
What's more, it is in remote places such as Jingdong East Road and Mengshan Town under Yishui County under Yizhou......
All his memories of the Northern Song Dynasty basically stayed in the area of Baizhang Village within a radius of dozens of miles. Even if he was hunting, he didn't dare to enter the deep mountains and old forests, what if he got lost and couldn't get out?
This trip to Yishui County is simply the purpose of going to the big scene for him.
The closer he got to the county seat, his eyes kept looking at the surrounding scenery, and the old patriarch and the seventh uncle were also secretly funny, don't look at Li Kui's forced in Baizhang Village, but out of Baizhang Village, he is a country boy. Even the father and son were very unkind to think that if this guy entered the county seat, he was afraid that he would get lost.
"Thatched hut!"
"Mud wall!"
"Bad review!"
Poor like this, dare to say that it is the richest dynasty in ancient China?
"This earthen wall can't do much more than the wall of Baizhang Village, and both zhang are indebted, and dare to say that it is a city wall, and it can't be a thief?"
"After entering the city, there are potholes, and if it rains, you may splash mud?"
……
No one knew that Li Kui's stomach was muttering all kinds of complaints, and he seemed to be very unpopular with what he saw and heard. But I can't help but look around curiously.
After entering the city, the old patriarch said to Li Kui: "Kui Wazi, your seventh uncle and I will go to sell mountain goods, and you take Li Quan to buy some hot food to satisfy your hunger." As he spoke, he took out seven or eight eldest sons from his pocket, hesitated to add five more, and handed them to Li Kui.
Li Kui also knew that there were mountain goods to sell, and these mountain goods were not the old patriarch's own, but the entire village gathered valuable mountain goods, so that the old patriarch could sell these mountain specialties and sell them in the county seat, which could be sold for a lot more money than in Mengshan Town. Doing business, Li Kui is not a top thing, and Li Quan is not a bad thing, which is already very good. He shouted all the way: "Hungry! ”
If you don't give some sweetness, Li Quan, a stupid boy, will definitely be embarrassed.
Li Kui looked down at the money handed to him by the old patriarch and asked, "Third uncle, what are you doing here?" ”
"Silly boy, did you bring any money?"
The old patriarch smiled: "There are villagers in Mengshan Town, so they can naturally take care of your meal." Many mountain goods in the village are consigned in the town, and there is no need to settle the settlement at the moment as much as you sell or eat. But in the county seat, looking up is where money is spent, and if you have no money in your pocket, you can't move an inch in the county. ”
When it comes to money, Li Kui naturally doesn't. But he brought the treasure to the city, and even he felt that he could raise all the money to make a fortune today.
There was a shocking sound of chest beating, and Li Kui said angrily: "Third uncle, you always put 10,000 hearts, we won't eat overlord meals." Although I didn't bring any money, I also brought mountain goods, which were worth a lot of money, and Li Quan's stomach couldn't be eaten even if it broke its belly. ”
"Oh, you also brought mountain goods?"
The old patriarch said curiously: "Baizhang Village, that is, the skin is worth a little money, the fox skin in the middle of winter, and the badger skin can be sold at a good price, but unfortunately there are too few, and it is rare on weekdays; Roe deer and muntjac skins are more common, but their value is not high; The price of wolf skin is good, as long as the skin is good, the merchant can pay a high price. But this year's wolves in the village are all hunted by you, and the skins are all worn on your mother's body, what do you exchange for money? ”
"Third uncle, you don't care. You always tell me how many pharmacies there are in the city, where are they? ”
Li Kui roared hurriedly, he also ate dry food for a day, his throat was uncomfortable, and he didn't treat himself when he entered the county, and ate some delicious food.
The old patriarch laughed, and seemed to have a special bad taste for Li Kui's indiscretion, which was not schadenfreude, at most it was funny that the elders made mistakes to the younger generations. Since Li Kui insisted, he would let this kid touch his nose so that this kid could recognize the facts. He estimated that Li Kui should have collected medicine. Baizhang Village is in the mountains, and if you can make a fortune by collecting medicine, the people in the village will already be tempted.
remembered that when he was young, he followed his grandfather into the city, and he was as confident as Li Kui, but unfortunately he almost got lost in the city, and sat on the street and cried all afternoon......
Rather than preaching, it's better to let him go on his own.
Suffering is also a blessing.
It's just that he was a little worried that Li Kui's fiery temperament, in case of trouble, the people in the city could not withstand his bullying than the people in the village, so he instructed: "Kui Wazi, look at this Li Quan, this kid has a bad brain, don't get lost." In addition, don't be reckless, when you go out, being convenient with others is convenient for yourself, and you can be safe by forbearance in everything. Peace is bliss! ”
"Third uncle, the kid is provincial!"
"It is said that people leave their hometowns, but they don't have the help of the villagers......"
As people get older, they talk more, which often causes impatience among juniors. Under the earnest teaching of the old patriarch, he found that his words were not quite right. The main reason is that Li Kui's reputation in the village is not very good, even if he makes trouble in the village, the clansmen in the same village will not be able to live and die with him, but Li Kui ...... It's hard to say.
Well, Li Kui has already offended all the clansmen, and most of them can't count on the help of the clansmen.
The old patriarch sighed and said, "Go, go!" Your third uncle and I will go to the market, and if you sell well, you will come to the market. If you are delayed halfway, go to the county government gate and wait. ”
"Don't worry!"
Li Kui confidently walked towards the pharmacy pointed out by the old patriarch, this is only three or four streets away from the county seat, can he still be lost? It was also very easy to find a pharmacy, and I walked straight towards the street, and it didn't take long for me to see the signboard, Jimin Hall.
Li Kuimai walked into the pharmacy, the strong smell of herbs came to his face, and after the winter, the business of the herb shop was better than usual. But there were only a few people who patronized it, and they were all in a hurry, and they left in a hurry after grabbing the medicine, without delay. After all, someone in the family is sick, and it is indispensable to worry.
Bell, bell, bell
Li Kui leaned against the counter of the pharmacy and slapped the counter of the pharmacy with a shocking sound. He also said arrogantly: "It's time for big business." ”
The apprentice of the pharmacy walked slowly in front of Li Kui, looked at Li Kui vigilantly across the counter, and made Li Kui very uncomfortable when he spoke: "If you want to make trouble, don't look at what kind of place this is?" ”
The reason why Li Kui did this was to increase his momentum so that he could sell the ginseng in his arms at a high price.
Seeing that the other party's little apprentice was not afraid of him, he suddenly couldn't get off the stage, and the raised fist was already in mid-air, remembering the old patriarch's instructions, he immediately put it down. He also wondered that his original self was not such a character at all, irritable, impatient, and seemed to be easily angry. He guessed that it should be influenced by Li Kui's irascible personality.
I'm afraid it's hard to change for a while.
Li Kui secretly said in his heart: "I endure!" ”
He took out a cloth bag from his chest, and after opening it, he revealed more than a dozen mountain ginsengs, the smallest of which weighed two or two, and the largest one was estimated to weigh half a catty. This pride made him more confident, and he shouted: "Estimate the price, right?" You, the apprentice, are not qualified to talk about my business. Let the shopkeeper come out, and let's talk about the price. ”
The junior grinned and sneered; "I don't think the shopkeeper is busy. Fortunately, although I am not proficient in learning, the medicinal materials sent to you are estimated to still have this responsibility. ”
Li Kui glared and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”
"Ginseng!"
The junior apprentice rolled his eyes and completely classified Li Kui into the dirt buns.
Li Kui was robbed of momentum one after another, secretly annoyed, and said in his heart that this guy from the Northern Song Dynasty is not easy to mess with, how dare he be so bullish? The ginseng he sent, the smallest is two or two, or wild ginseng, this pack of ginseng, to say the least, can be worth a pharmacy, right? How dare apprentices talk about such a big business?
It's a pity that Li Kui's heart didn't resonate with the apprentice, and the apprentice of the pharmacy rolled his eyes and said: "It's the life of the party, and the quality is middle and low, so let's wait for two hanging money!" ”
"Two pennies?" Li Kuibao's eyes widened, he couldn't hold back any longer, he picked up the placket of the apprentice's clothes, took the person out of the pharmacy counter, pulled the clothes in front of him, and said viciously; "You kid dare to open your teeth! Two hanging money, coaxing children to play? ”
"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, there are rioters making trouble!"
Seemingly shocked by Li Kui's momentum, the apprentice was stunned at first, but when he woke up, he immediately pulled out his throat and shouted.
"Who dares to make trouble in my Jimin Hall?"
While speaking, a man walked out of the back hall, his face was like a heavy jujube, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a dark pleated flower hat, a piece of white jade in the middle was quite rounded, wearing a plain white robe, a pair of muntjac leather fast boots under his feet, a horn belt was buckled around his waist, his pace was steady and his breath was even, and his mouth was like a Hong Zhong: "Who dares to make trouble?" ”
