Chapter 40: Poison or Tonic

In front of Ye Tong's stall, Wu Haichang's casual gaze swept over the jade bottle, and finally landed on the medicinal food that Ye Tong was holding, the rich fragrance made his index finger move, turned his head to look at the iron pot, and asked, "Is the medicinal food sold?"

"Not for sale!" replied the medicine slave without raising his head.

Wu Haichang frowned slightly, and said, "Can I drink a bowl of medicinal food when I buy pills?"

The medicine slave looked at Ye Tong.

Ye Tong said indifferently: "No." ”

Wu Haichang stared at Ye Tong, and suddenly grinned: "Since the little brother lives in this Taoyuan Inn, he must not be a native of the county town, right?"

Ye Tong asked, "You want to threaten me?"

"This ......" Wu Haichang was speechless, he really meant that.

Ye Tong shook his head, sighed and said: "Today's medicinal diet, except for me, outsiders can't eat it, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, after all, a profitable business, who would push it out for no reason?"

Wu Haichang was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Why do you say this?"

Ye Tong thought for a while and said, "Ten taels of blue silver, to solve your doubts." ”

"You ......"

Wu Haichang was furious, but his qi cultivation kung fu was okay, and he glared at Ye Tong and said: "Seeing that you are young, I don't have the same knowledge as you, it's no problem to want blue silver, but you have to give me an explanation, if I am not satisfied with your explanation, don't blame me for bullying you foreigners." ”

"Yes!" Ye Tong smiled indifferently.

Wu Haichang took out ten taels of blue silver, threw it on the stall and said, "Explain!"

Ye Tong took out a grass root from the bowl and asked, "Do you know how to use medicinal herbs?"

Wu Haichang frowned, carefully observed for a moment, and sneered: "Bluff, this is just ordinary medicinal materials, what is worth saying?"

"It's not!"

Beside him, an old man who had just arrived showed a frightened look on his face, stared at the grass root and said: "This is a hundred corpse roots, which contain highly poisonous, even if it is a saber-toothed wolf, swallowing a drop of venom from a hundred corpse roots, it will be poisoned to death in a snap of his fingers, young man, are you crazy?

The old man's words made Wu Haichang's face change greatly, he didn't know the hundred corpse roots, but he had heard of it!

Ye Tong showed a smile, nodded and said, "The old man is very knowledgeable. ”

As he spoke, Ye Tong picked out another worm from the bowl, looked at Wu Haichang and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

After Wu Haichang knew the poisonous insect, his footsteps instantly took a few steps back, looked at Ye Tong and said in shock: "You are really crazy, this is a blood centipede......! Are you a medicinal diet to nourish your body, or is it a poison to kill yourself?"

Ye Tong didn't answer his question, but asked with a smile: "Ten taels of blue silver, do you still feel that the flower is wronged?"

"Gollum ......" Wu Haichang swallowed his saliva, and shook his head again and again, he hasn't lived enough, if this young man really gave him a bowl of medicinal food just now, I'm afraid he would have been poisoned by now.

But this young man obviously drank the medicinal diet, why is he okay? Could it be that this medicinal diet is strange?

Wu Haichang is a shrewd person, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You are scaring me with poisonous roots and poisonous insects, in fact, this medicinal diet has been processed, and it is not poisonous, right?"

Ye Tong didn't expect that the man in front of him was still not giving up, could he really be so greedy for food?

Wu Haichang said again: "Let's make a price! I'll buy a bowl of medicinal food, and you will know if there is any poison in this medicinal diet." ”

Ye Tong turned his head to look at the medicine slave and asked, "We live in the Taoyuan Inn, how much blue silver did we pay?"

The medicine slave said, "Three thousand taels." ”

Ye Tong looked at Wu Haichang, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Did you hear?" If you are willing to pay three thousand taels of blue silver, I can give you a bowl, as for whether you are still alive after drinking, it has nothing to do with me." ”

"Don't try. The old man next to him said suddenly.

Wu Haichang suppressed his anger and asked, "Why?"

The old man looked at Ye Tong carefully, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This young man has a problem, he ......"

Wu Haichang asked, "What's wrong with him?"

The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I guessed wrong! In short, I advise you not to try, it is a foolish act to spend money to buy death." ”

Wu Haichang said angrily: "Who said that I would die? Three thousand taels of blue silver, right? No problem, this is three thousand taels of blue silver and silver tickets, if I look back and after testing, this medicinal food is not poisonous, I want you to look good." ”

"Alas, it's early in the morning, it's unlucky!" Ye Tong looked at Wu Haichang's eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Wu Haichang turned around and whispered a few words to the person around him, the man immediately walked away quickly, and when Wu Haichang took a bowl of medicinal food, he didn't drink it, but quietly looked at the bowl, as if waiting for something.

Ye Tong drank two bowls of medicinal food, handed the bowl to the medicine slave, and then looked at the dozen or so people who had gathered around, and said lightly: "If you want to see the excitement, please let go, I am selling pills here, and please don't disturb me to do business." ”

The dozen or so people who were watching next to him immediately retreated after hearing Ye Tong's words.

The old man didn't retreat, after his eyes moved to the jade bottle, his eyes suddenly lit up, and when he saw the handwriting carved on the jade bottle, he opened his mouth and asked: "Is the text engraved on the jade bottle the name of the pill?"

"Yes!" Ye Tong said without hesitation.

The old man picked up a bottle, uncorked it and sniffed it, and was immediately surprised: "It's really a Qi Gathering Pill, and the quality seems to be quite good." How many Qi Gathering Pills are in this bottle, and how much does it cost?"

Ye Tong said: "A bottle of ten, the whole bottle is sold, a total of eight thousand taels of blue silver." ”

The old man was surprised: "So cheap?"

Ye Tong showed a strange look and said, "Okay, I remembered wrong, a bottle of 10,000 taels of blue silver." ”

"Ahem......"

The old man didn't mention it in one breath, he coughed several times in a row, he looked at Ye Tong, and almost wanted to slap it, there is still such a price in this year?

"Eight thousand taels, I bought it. The old man said.

"10,000 taels, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it. Ye Tong replied quietly.

"It's an old man's mouth!" The old man showed a dejected look, and directly took out four silver tickets with a face value of 10,000 taels of blue silver, and asked, "The same is true for other pills?"

Ye Tong said: "The four pills, each bottle is ten, and the price is the same. ”

The old man said, "I'll buy one bottle each, and you can take the silver ticket." ”

The opening was auspicious, but Ye Tong was a little satisfied, and said: "Originally, each jade bottle will charge a single thousand taels of blue silver, but for the sake of you being my first guest, I will give it to you." ”

"Don't be big!" The old man rolled his eyes when he heard this, turned around and left with four bottles of pills, but after walking more than ten meters away, he seemed to think of something again, and then turned back, standing aside and looking at Wu Haichang, he wanted to know, whether that bowl of medicinal food was poisonous?

Soon, the man who had left arrived with a fat pig.

Wu Haichang handed the bowl to the man and said in a deep voice, "Pour this bowl of medicinal food into its stomach for me." ”

Tested the poison with pigs? Everyone suddenly realized, and one by one they were quite amused.

As a bowl of medicinal food was poured into the pig's stomach, in just a few breaths, the pig shook violently a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang, bleeding from seven holes.

"Dead?" everyone looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of horror.

They felt that their back erection was cold, and they thought to themselves that if that bowl of fragrant medicinal food was eaten by themselves, I am afraid that it would not be much better than the fate of the pigs, right?

Wu Haichang's heart was even colder, as the saying goes, the Yellow River does not give up, he saw the scene of the pig being poisoned alive, and finally understood that Ye Tong was right, there was a high poison in the medicinal diet, but why was he fine?

The old man came to the stall, squinted his eyes and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong with your body?"

Ye Tong opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I am invincible, this medicinal diet is poison to you, but it is a tonic for me, old man, are you satisfied with my answer?"

The old man frowned and said, "A little dissatisfied." ”

Ye Tong said angrily: "Curiosity kills the cat, you old man take it easy." ”

The old man found that he couldn't talk to Ye Tong properly, and with a cold snort, he turned around and walked into the distance, thinking in his heart that he must send someone to inquire about Ye Tong's origin after he goes back.

For a whole day, Ye Tong sold half of the pill.

Day 2.

After Ye Tong drank the medicinal food, he set up a stall to sell the pill again.

"Huh? This guy actually put out the stall again, doesn't he know, fixed in one place to cheat, once discovered, he will be beaten to death by others?" said the two young men who passed by yesterday, the honest-looking young man.

The young man with a scar at the corner of his eye pouted and said, "There are a lot of people with crippled minds these years, let alone a hairy boy who hasn't grown all his hair?

The two shook their heads and left together.

Around noon.

"That's it. A loud voice sounded nearby, and immediately after, four or five young men rushed to the scene.

Ye Tong looked at a few people and asked, "Everyone, do you want to buy the pill?"

The brocade-robed young man at the head looked proud, hummed a cold breath with his nostrils, and asked, "I heard that the pills you sell here can buy a bottle of ten taels of blue silver for 10,000 taels?"

"Yes!" Ye Tong nodded.

The brocade-robed young man said, "Give me a face, one thousand taels per bottle." ”

Ye Tong said curiously: "Is your face very valuable, can it be worth nine thousand taels of blue silver?"

The brocade-robed young man didn't hear the mockery in Ye Tong's words, and said proudly: "I'm a little overlord Gao Hu, but this county is a famous person, and his face is naturally very valuable, and some people want to slap me, but I'm too lazy to take care of them! ”

"Slow!" Ye Tong stood up and said lightly: "Others want to slap you, that's someone else's business, in my eyes, your face is worthless, if you want to buy pills, take money, don't be arrogant with me if you don't have money." ”

Hearing Ye Tong's words, the little overlord Gao Hu was furious, as if he had been humiliated, and scolded angrily: "Damn guy, I think you are looking for death." ”

"Bo ......" Ye Tong pulled out the cork of a jade bottle.
