Volume I, Origins Chapter 99, The Medicine for the Aftermath of the Plague
The more Xiaohu listened, the more excited he became, so he simply didn't think about it so much, nodded, and said, "Okay, if my mother blames me at that time, you have to help me out of the siege." ”
Li Chengfeng pretended to be very pretending to say: "I may not have dared before, but now I have the same official character as the county master, and I don't dare to disobey you if you don't listen to me!"
Xiaohu really wanted to go to Chang'an to see and learn, so he didn't delay the time, and left Qinghe Town directly with Li Chengfeng.
Along the way, Li Chengfeng has been bragging to Xiaohu about how good Chang'an is.
Just as he was about to pass through the woods outside Chang'an City and come to the village chief outside Chang'an City, he suddenly heard someone shouting.
The curious two walked up to see what was going on.
After all, the two of them came out to consume, and as soon as they heard that there was something for sale, they stepped forward without thinking about it.
I saw a person dressed in Ichiro chattering there.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, the medicine sold by Ben Langzhong today is very good for conditioning the body after the plague, everyone come and take a look!"
Li Chengfeng wondered and muttered to himself: "The plague has been going on for many months, how can there be charlatans using the plague as a guise to deceive today!"
There was also a person dressed as a villager next to him who fanned the wind and said: "This medicine is really effective, I took two pills yesterday, and my body is obviously very comfortable!"
Li Chengfeng thought that he was a group to deceive, but who would have thought that at this time, a group of mountain and wild villagers came over, holding axes for chopping wood in their hands.
The fierce god who took the lead said: "Where did you come from, I don't know the rules here!? I cover this area, if you want to set up a stall here, then pay the protection fee!"
Seeing that they were outnumbered and had axes in their hands, Na Lang Zhong timidly asked, "Then how much silver do I need to pay as protection money?"
The one who took the lead said directly: "Thirty taels!"
Na Langzhong hurriedly flattered again: "This master, I also made up a lot of money to build such a small stall, and I was said to be thirty taels, and I can't even take out ten taels of silver now." ”
Li Chengfeng, who was on the side, said in his heart, "I can only earn a hundred taels by working hard, and you will need thirty taels when you open your mouth, which is obviously a robbery!"
The leader was furious and said: "You old boy doesn't know how to lift, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, I have to teach you a good lesson today!"
Li Chengfeng didn't want to care, one grabbed money, the other grabbed money, they were all bad people.
But seeing that the money grabbing was so domineering, he couldn't hold back for a while, and said: "Stop! This is so close to Chang'an, how can you be presumptuous here!"
The one who took the lead looked at Li Chengfeng, and felt that he was not a local, so he was even more arrogant.
said: "Another kid who doesn't know whether to live or die, meddle in my territory, I'll teach you a lesson first, so that you can talk more!"
Xiaohu was afraid, pulled Li Chengfeng, and said, "Why don't we go." ”
Before Li Chengfeng could speak, the leader said: "Want to go, impossible, brothers, call me!"
Four followers stepped forward, and one of them said, "Now kneel down and kowtow to grandpa to admit your mistakes, and grandpa will let you go!"
Li Chengfeng stepped forward, his sword was drawn, and said, "You are the ones who should beg for mercy!"
Subsequently, Li Chengfeng showed his fists and feet slightly, and beat several people to the ground and couldn't stand up.
Seeing this, the leader didn't care about his brother, turned around and ran away, and Li Chengfeng didn't chase after him, feeling that it was not necessary.
After all the people with axes left, Na Langzhong stepped forward and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving me, otherwise my stall would not be safe." ”
Li Chengfeng snorted coldly and said, "You're welcome! You are not a good person, relying on the plague to deceive people!"
Lang Zhong saw that Li Chengfeng was questioning his medicine, so he said: "I have used this medicine by people outside the city, and they all think it is very effective, I was originally a medicinal material merchant in Chang'an, and because of the plague before, the people thought that the medicine was useless, so I was driven out, and the imperial court ordered disaster relief, so I came back." ”
Li Chengfeng asked again: "The plague has passed, why do you still want to buy medicine to cure the plague? Do you say you are lying?"
Some of the villagers stepped forward and said: "This is not a cure for the plague, because we have had the plague, and after being cured, we will have a sequelae, and our bodies are not as good as before, our limbs are weak, we are easily tired, and we can't wake up, but after taking his medicine, these symptoms gradually become lighter." ”
Only then did Li Chengfeng understand that this was a medicine to cure the sequelae of the plague.
Li Chengfeng, who knew that he had misunderstood, said: "If this medicine is helpful for the sequelae of the plague, I think your medicine will definitely be sold, and I wish you a fortune as soon as possible." ”
Na Langzhong was a little embarrassed and said: "Shaoxia, you help people to the end, help come up with ideas, I have been selling for several days, and I can't sell much." ”
Li Chengfeng lost his skills for a while, and said: "Although there is a restaurant in my house, it is my mother's older age, so I am not very proficient in trading, but now that you can go to Chang'an, why don't you go to the vendors in the Chang'an market to ask for advice." ”
After hearing this, Na Langzhong's face showed a smile and said, "Why didn't I think of it, I will close the stall and go to the Chang'an Market to ask." ”
Li Chengfeng said: "We are also going to the market in Chang'an, so it is better to go together." ”
"Okay!"
After that, Na Langzhong quickly cleaned up and entered Chang'an with Li Chengfeng.
Walking to the bazaar, Xiaohu was completely shocked by the prosperity of Chang'an.
I want to eat everything when I see it, I want it all, but I can't name it, and I don't dare to ask for anything for fear of being embarrassed.
After turning around for a while, suddenly a businessman standing on the side of the street caught Li Chengfeng's attention.
This merchant is different from others, everyone else puts the goods on the surface, but he is all packed in a box and does not show it.
There is also a sign on the front that reads, "There are all kinds of treasures, only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy!"
Li Chengfeng, who was attracted, stepped forward and looked at one box after another of different sizes.
When the merchant saw Li Chengfeng stepping forward, he took the initiative to speak: "This young man, what treasures do you need when you come to me? ”
Li Chengfeng said: "I can't see anything, how do I know what I want?"
The merchant said, "I buy everything I need, and as long as you need it, I have it here." ”
Li Chengfeng felt that what the merchant said was reasonable, and he didn't know how to refute it at all.
So he said, "Then do I want the Seven Star Grass of Tianmen Mountain?"
The merchant suddenly became mysterious, pulled Li Chengfeng to the side and said: "That's a rare treasure, boil the Seven Star Grass into soup, or make it into medicine for people to take, you can quickly relieve fatigue, if the young man needs it, I also have it here, but the price... ”
Looking at the mysterious businessman's face full of greed for money, Li Chengfeng said: "It doesn't matter how much money you have, I just want to see if you have it! Qixing Grass is a unique herb in Tianmen Mountain, I don't believe you can get it." ”
The mysterious merchant took out a long box from his arms and opened it quietly, Li Chengfeng was shocked when he saw it, it was indeed Seven Star Grass.
"How did you get this thing? Could it be that you have ever been to Tianmen Mountain?"
The mysterious merchant said: "How is it possible, what kind of place is Tianmen Mountain, how can it be that I, a mortal, can go up as soon as I say it, as for how I came to it, I have nothing to say, I am a merchant, if you buy you a conscience price, one hundred taels of gold, what do you think?"
Li Chengfeng said: "One hundred taels of gold? I almost died on the Khitan grassland to earn a million gold, and you want to use this seven-star grass to exchange my life?"
The mysterious merchant put away the Seven Star Grass and said, "I don't think you came to buy it sincerely, so hurry up and leave, so as not to affect my business." ”
However, Na Langzhong saw that this merchant was different from other merchants, and there must be something clever.
So he stepped forward and said, "This boss, can you teach me some ways to do business?"
The mysterious merchant looked at Na Langzhong and said, "You Langzhong asked what is the method of doing business, and you sit on the side of the road every day, aren't there patients coming to you?" ”
Lang Zhong said again: "Actually, I don't know how to get sick, I'm a businessman who sells medicines, and the reason why I dress up like this is just to sell more of my medicine." ”
The mysterious merchant said: "It's not that I can't teach you, but I have one condition, that is, give me 30% of the profits you earn, and I can teach you how to make money." ”
