Wang Decai has been excited, grinning happily and saying no, this person is still a very reliable and honest person, he must have encountered something else to delay, depending on the situation, it is estimated that the ship boss is your acquaintance, otherwise he would have come back sooner!

Zhao Chuan said I hope so.

Zhao Chuan was worried that there were two subordinates on his plantation, and he ate a few bites hastily, and said You eat first, I will go back to alchemy, and come back when I have something.

When Zhao Chuan returned to the plantation, it was already dark, but he found Huang Jin and Liu Shouyi waiting there, and under a dim oil lamp, Huang Jin was stamping back and forth.

"Oh, Uncle Huang, it's really you!" Zhao Chuan hurriedly said hello, "Why don't you go to the pharmacy in the town and come to this place?" It's so basic here. ”

Huang Jin said that there are many people there, and it is convenient to talk here.

Zhao Chuan smiled and said What's wrong Uncle Huang, do you still have any unsavory secrets to tell me?

Huang Jin said pure nonsense, I don't have any unsavory secrets, I just don't want too many people to recognize me.

Zhao Chuan didn't understand when he heard it, and said Uncle Huang, you don't want people to recognize you, or you have done something bad and are afraid that you will recognize and arrest you, or you have become a big official or made a fortune for fear of attracting wind and causing trouble. Which one are you?

Huang Jin said don't guess, last time on the luxury passenger ship, didn't we treat the few women who paid tribute to Hou Ye, Hou Ye appreciated me, let me join the army, and threw myself into the name of Hou Ye, and became a building ship general in the navy, so I can't go ashore casually.

General Lou Chuan? What a big official this is, congratulations, you have finally achieved your goal. Zhao Chuan said.

What kind of general is a building ship, he is just the captain of a building ship, Huang Jin said.

Zhao Chuan said no, didn't I hear that a new southwest route was opened, and you became the boss of the ship.

What Huang Jin said about opening up new routes, in fact, it was because this plague killed many soldiers, and more than half of the 200,000 people were lost. Hou Ye asked me to drive a boat to the southwest to recruit troops, and when I recruited people, I would transport them back, at least once a month.

Zhao Chuan said I see, you are nominally doing the work of transporting people by ship and running business, but in fact you are a human trafficker.

Huang Jin smiled and said that something else is so ugly, why don't you do it? Didn't I be a Langzhong like you before?

Liu Shouyi said that General Huang was right, as long as there was a future, I could do anything, and General Huang asked me to be the captain of the ship.

"Don't!" Zhao Chuan hurriedly stopped, "You Liu Shouyi are in your fifties, why are you still tossing with General Huang when you are so old?" You still follow your original plan, get on the boat to your destination, and get off the boat to join your old friends. ”

Zhao Chuanxin said that this Huang Jin is not a good person, so he was a master who was abducted and deceived, and he didn't see him any good when he was Lang Zhong.

Zhao Chuan said to Huang Jinzui that Liu Shouyi was in his fifties, and he didn't know if Huang Jin knew Liu Shouyi's actual age.

Huang Jin was displeased, and said that now it is the time for Hou Ye to employ people, and this is a good opportunity.

Zhao Chuan said that everyone has their own ambitions, so let Liu Shouyi decide for himself.

Zhao Chuan winked at Liu Shouyi as he spoke.

Huang Jin looked around and found that it was very shabby, and said Zhao Chuan, why don't you come on the boat with me, and if you cast it under the name of Hou Ye, you can also be an officer or something.

Zhao Chuan said Forget it, Uncle Huang, I don't have a high desire for fame and fortune, and I'm not interested in being a soldier, I just want to be a doctor and make a few small bucks.

Huang Shi saw that there were piles of medicinal herbs everywhere in the house, and felt strange, "Are you going to open a medicine shop?" ”

Zhao Chuan said that I was alchemy.

"Alchemy?" Huang Jin was very surprised, "You know how to do alchemy?" ”

"Of course!" Zhao Chuan said, "You can not only help others treat diseases, but also make a lot of money, why not?" ”

Huang Jin asked, how much money can he make?

Zhao Chuan said that the money for today's order alone is 80,000 taels of silver, and if you don't believe it, you can go to the town with Liu Yishi to ask the pharmacy shopkeeper.

Eighty thousand taels of silver? Huang Jin's face had muscles shaking, and his eyes were hard to fathom.

Zhao Chuan said Uncle Huang, you used to run around the north and south, how about getting up and seeing my medicinal materials?

Huang Jin turned around and looked at it, and said that these are all medicinal materials from the south, warm and gentle, slightly more dry, if it is alchemy, it is better to use the north, especially in the north of Shanhaiguan, the cold and thick yin, the effect is rough and pure.

Zhao Chuan smiled and said that Uncle Huang also understands alchemy, and Jiang is still old and spicy.

Huang Jin said that I was just talking on paper and listening to what others said.

After sending Huang Jin away, Zhao Chuan felt a little uneasy when he came back.

The uneasiness came from Liu Shouyi whispering to himself before leaving: when he exchanged the Xuanlong Treasure Knife and Wang Decai for drunken ginseng, he did not tell him that the Xuanlong Treasure Knife needed to recognize the owner in order to be effective, otherwise it would be an ordinary blade.

Why did Liu Shouyi tell himself this before leaving? The sword is neither in his own possession nor in his own trade.

It stands to reason that Liu Shouyi himself told Wang Decai about this, what does it mean to tell this secret to an outsider?

Ten days later, Zhao Chuan refined five pills.

After another ten days, eight pills appeared.

In the last ten days, fifteen pills were produced.

There are fifteen phlegm-clearing and lung-clearing pills, eight longevity-prolonging pills, and five blood-invigorating and stasis pills.

settled accounts with Wang Decai, and after deducting costs, Zhao Chuan made a net profit of 20,000 taels of silver.

Zhao Chuan left the hairy boy in Wang Decai's pharmacy and gave him an apprentice.

When Zhao Chuan now wants to pay Mao Boy a year's salary in advance, Wang Decai disagreed, saying that he would pay him the salary in the future, and gave it up to five taels of silver a month.

Zhao Chuan said that this is your own idea, but it has nothing to do with me.

Zhao Chuan wanted to give Da Mao a thousand taels of silver tickets, saying that he would pay three years of wages and reward money in advance, but Da Mao didn't want it, saying that he didn't have a family now, his parents were long gone, and there was no one in the country anymore, and he didn't need to spend money to follow the master now.

Zhao Chuan gave it hard, but he didn't want it.

Zhao Chuan said That's it, you should accept the thousand taels of silver, you go to the town to find a suitable place to buy a few houses to open an inn, and then hire a few people to be the second child and the back kitchen or something.

Da Mao didn't understand what Zhao Chuan meant.

Zhao Chuan said that I have no fixed place to live, and I am used to freedom, you follow me In case I run away one day, aren't you busy in vain? So let's take care of your family business first, in case it really comes one day, you brothers still have a way out, don't you? Besides, having your own house in this town is also a place to stay.

Da Mao thought about it and agreed.

The southern pharmacists went back, and Wang Decai made a lot of money.

Huang Jin went to the southwest to recruit troops when he was the general of Lou Chuan, and Liu Shouyi went to Xichuan County to defect to Guanguan.

It's just that Zhao Chuan's own affairs have not been handled well, where are the seven girls? Zhao Chuan stayed in this town for more than a month, and he didn't wait for her to come back.

It's been more than a month since he came out, and Zhao Chuan wants to go back to Mengcheng because his goal has been reached.

Originally, the purpose of coming out was to find Master Xiaoyaozi to solve the acupoints for himself, but now he doesn't need to solve the acupoints, and he himself has escaped without a trace.

But the seven girls are gone, and there were two people here, so it's not a matter to lose her this time.

These seven girls have to be found, they want to see people in life, and they want to see corpses in death. I don't know how to live or die.

I thought that these seven girls were only eight-hundred-year-old fox spirits, and they knew some spells and had a certain amount of cultivation, so how could they say that they were gone? Zhao Chuan couldn't figure it out.

Sort out the cause and effect of the matter.

Seven girls were drugged by a group of people in brocade clothes before they lost their cultivation, and later fled in order to escape the capture of this group, and in the process of escaping, they were taken back to the inn by Daogu Hun Yuanzi, and later when Hun Yuanzi left, the people in the inn did not see her and left.

Thinking about it, the loss of the seven girls is directly related to Hun Yuanzi, and the inn is also a place to look.

I searched the inn inside and out a few times, and I was about to dig three feet into the ground.

But it's not easy to find Hun Yuanzi, this Hun Yuanzi is the senior sister of Master Xiaoyaozi, this pair of sisters and brothers are wonderful, they are all Taoist priests, there is no Taoist temple, and there is no fixed place.

But the Taoist priest of Youfang is also organized, there is a way that the monk can't run the temple, and he can't find Hun Yuanzi, so he goes to find Hun Yuanzi's master.

Who is Hun Yuanzi's master? I don't know.

The third uncle Zhao Kai said that Xiaoyaozi is a Zhengyi Sect, so this Hun Yuanzi is a senior sister of Xiaoyaozi, then she is also a Zhengyi Sect, where is the nest of the Zhengyi Sect? I don't know.

Da Mao's work effect is very high, and in only three days, he has found a house, hired people, and opened a business.

However, 1,000 taels of silver was not enough, and 500 taels of silver were withdrawn from Zhao Chuan before the opening.

Zhao Chuan went to see it, the newly opened inn is located in the southernmost part of Xintang Town, and there is no one further south, but it is close to the intersection of the west gate of Qingfeng Temple on Lingyin Mountain.

This inn was originally a hotel, but it closed down because of the hotel's poor management, and Da Mao took down the store.

Because it was originally a restaurant, it is a three-story building facing the street. In fact, the inn is generally a two-story building, because the two-story building is enough, and the people who live in the hotel are afraid of climbing up and down the building.

But when it was converted into an inn, Da Mao used the third floor as a high-end dining seat.

This inn is a three-story building facing the street, with five rooms at the bottom, five rooms in the middle, and five rooms at the top.

The bottom five rooms are used as a vestibule, and several tables are placed inside. The middle five rooms are used as upper rooms, and the upper five rooms are used as dining and drinking seats.

The inn has a large courtyard, the yard is very long, there are six wings on each side, and there are five houses and stables at the back door of the courtyard.

The inn is really not small, no wonder it costs a lot of money.

hired two men, two cooks, and an old shopkeeper and bookkeeper in his seventies, and Da Mao really became a hands-off shopkeeper.

This old shopkeeper really didn't know where Da Mao found it, it turned out to be a red-nosed and blue-eyed, and at first glance it was a foreigner from the Western Regions. However, people speak Chinese well, and I heard that they can speak more than a dozen languages of other countries.

When it opened, Da Mao invited all the shopkeepers of the inns in the town to eat, as well as the townspeople and the characters with heads and faces, as well as those who killed pigs and sold meat, and sold chickens, ducks, fish and vegetables.

Da Mao came to invite Zhao Chuan, but Zhao Chuan was too lazy to go and tinkered with alchemy in the plantation.

opened, Da Mao fixed an upper room for Zhao Chuan on the second floor of the inn, and Zhao Chuan said yes.

Da Mao asked Zhao Chuan to name the inn, Zhao Chuan thought about it and said that it should be called Qingfeng Inn.

Zhao Chuan couldn't let go of the lost Seven Girls in his heart, so he sent Da Mao out and asked him to go around Jiangzhou City or nearby towns and counties to see if he could find the Seven Girls or Hun Yuanzi.

Just half a month after the Qingfeng Inn opened, a strange person came.
