After a period of expansion, the houses at the foot of Luan Qishan Mountain have become more than several times larger than when they first arrived.

Although it is simple, it can also shelter from wind and rain and cold.

During this period, special women are working with the wire rattan, they first use tools to crush the rattan into fibers, then soak them in the liquid medicine, and take out the forging.

According to the different degrees of forging, the wolf poison whip is divided into 100 forging, 300 forging and the best quality thousand forging.

This kind of whip, which contains medicinal poison, is whipped on the body, not only fierce, but also extremely difficult to heal the wound, and very vicious, so it is named the wolf poison whip.

On the square, a high platform was erected, two Taishi chairs were placed on it, and the foreign affairs masters Lei Tianlai and Shen Du sat upright, closing their eyes and saying nothing.

Senior brother Huang Phosphorus stood in the middle of the high platform with his hands behind his back, watching the crowd gather, with a serious face.

When the personnel arrived, Huang Phosphorus coughed lightly, stopped the discussion below, and stepped forward.

"Senior brothers, according to the news from the county town, the wolf poison whip we want to make needs three hundred forgings to meet the requirements. ”

He glanced at the audience and continued to speak: "So, the current number of wire vines is far from enough!"

"Ahh

"The weather is getting cold day by day, and the mountains are about to be covered with heavy snow, do you still have to go into the mountains to collect?"

"Isn't that our lives?"

Whispers of discussion sounded from below, and there was inevitably a little complaint.

"Silence!"

Huang Phosphorus raised his breath and made a sound, and as soon as his voice was cold, the noise in the audience gradually stopped. It can be seen that everyone is afraid of this Senior Brother Huang.

"Don't worry, the two masters have their own countermeasures!"

Huang Phosphorus curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and said loudly: "We are gathering the nearby mountain people and asking them to help us collect the wire vines. ”

"In addition, from today onwards, the punishment for those who fail to complete the task will remain unchanged. But as long as you complete the task, you will be rewarded with a bounty of five dollars per bundle!

"After the first snow of the year, the price of each bundle of wire rattan will be raised to ten yuan! When the time comes, the punishment will be waived, and the handyman can choose to enter the mountain or stay, and the apprentice must all go into the mountain for me to collect the wire rattan!"

"Ten big bucks! If you bundle a day, you'll have three hundred big bucks a month!"

Someone in the audience muttered quietly, and couldn't even suppress the excitement in their hearts: "Three hundred dollars, the long-term work of the pharmacy is not that much for a month!"

"It's a lot of money, but the snow is so heavy that it's impossible to collect a bundle of wire vines in one day. ”

"That's not necessarily, even if it doesn't work, it's worth it every two days!"

In Sun Heng's view, a big amount of money here is similar to a dollar in the previous life, but the wealth differentiation here and the exploitation of the bottom by the top are extremely serious.

Rich people have a lot of money, but the average person's monthly salary is only a few dozen, hundreds, or three hundred yuan, which is a lot of money for many people.

The noise sounded from below again, but this time, there was excitement, apprehension, and so on.

"Okay, that's the way it is, go back, the handyman wants to go into the mountain, come to report tomorrow! Hmph, it's cheap!"

Huang Phosphorus glanced at the people below with cold eyes, spoke coldly, and waved his hand to disperse the crowd.

After sending the two masters away, he paced to his house.

Huang Phosphorus lives in the same room as his junior brother Zhang Xiao, but Zhang Xiao doesn't like to talk, his face is stuffy all day long, and the relationship between the two is not so good.

When he entered the room, there were already two people waiting, one of whom was sharp-beaked, disheveled, hunched over his shoulders, and looked like the idle thug on the street.

The other man was tall but had a wooden expression, and followed behind the other without saying a word.

"Brother Phosphorus!"

The name of the sharp-beaked monkey is Huang Shiyou, who is from Huang Yuan's own family, and he used to be a foreign apprentice in a pharmacy, but he is a fool, and after eight years, he failed to enter the master's eyes and was kicked out.

"I have already contacted dozens of mountain people, and they are all good at collecting medicine all year round, and they will definitely be able to complete the task!"

"Hmm. ”

Huang Phosphorus nodded expressionlessly, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot water, sat on the chair and swayed: "How much did you swallow?"

"Hey...... , and not much. ”

Huang Shiyou laughed dryly: "For each bundle, I will draw four big money! Of course, half of them are Brother Li'er's."

"Sneer......"

Huang Phosphorus smiled coldly and glanced at the other party: "Do you think I'm short of that money?"

As soon as the words fell, his face turned straight: "I don't care how much money you collect from it, but this mission, you must give me a solid completion! Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to spare you!"

In the end, his face had become extremely fierce, and the threat in his mouth was not fake at all.

Huang Shiyou's body trembled, and he nodded hurriedly: "Definitely, definitely! We will never delay the business of the pharmacy." ”

"It's good that you understand. ”

Huang Phosphorus nodded, took a sip of tea, and his attitude eased slightly.

"Brother Phosphorus. ”

Huang Shiyou's eyes blinked, and he suddenly whispered: "I don't know how much this wolf poison whip sells?"

"Huh?"

Huang Phosphorus raised his eyebrows: "Is this something you should be concerned about?"

"No, no. ”

Huang Shiyou hurriedly shook his head: "I'm just curious, curious! Our pharmacy has not made such a big effort for a long time." ”

"Hehe......"

Huang Phosphorus smiled coldly, pondered for a moment, and then continued to speak: "It's okay to tell you, as far as I know, a three-hundred-forged wolf poison whip is sold for five taels of silver, and this is still the wholesale price!"

"Five taels?"

Huang Shiyou and the others couldn't help but gasp, one tael of silver is a thousand dollars! Five taels of silver, not a single life here is worth this price!

"That's right, it's five taels. ”

Huang Li's eyes were also full of envy, his monthly money was only a little more than one or two silver, of course, as a senior brother in foreign affairs, he could also have some other extra money.

"Don't worry about the wolf poison whip, the potion of soaking the wire vine is the secret recipe provided by the county, even if you give the wire vine, you can't make the wolf poison whip. ”

"That's, that's!"

Huang Shiyou nodded with a regretful face: "Brother Phosphorus, let's leave first, people, it will be here in the next two days." ”

"Hmm. ”

Huang Phosphorus waved his hand casually: "Go!"

............

Apprentice house backyard.

The screams were repeated, this was a senior brother who failed to complete the task and was being punished.

Just listening to that miserable voice makes people's hearts chill.

As far as Sun Heng knew, in addition to Chen Tieying, during this time, there were two apprentices who were pulled back to Qingyang Town because of serious physical damage.

There were many unreasonable things in the orders given by the masters, but they had no intention of correcting them.

I'm afraid that in their opinion, the apprentice is dead when he dies, and anyway, new ones will come every once in a while, so it's not worth the effort.

Fortunately, it won't be long before the snow falls and the punishment is no longer severe, and the apprentices' lives will be better.

"Brother Sun. ”

Erya squatted beside Sun Heng and whispered: "When it snows, will you still go into the mountain?"

"Yes. ”

Sun Heng nodded: "A bundle of ten big money, this kind of opportunity is not very rare." ”

Moreover, staying at the bottom of the mountain, how uncomfortable it is for him!

"What if you don't have enough to eat?"

Er Ya looked at Sun Heng's eyes with some worry, she knew that this Brother Sun's appetite was far beyond ordinary people, even if he added his own marching pill, sometimes he would still show a state of hunger.

"Don't worry. ”

Sun Heng smiled at her with relief, and among the few people who came with him, I am afraid that this second girl still retains a little of her original innocence: "There is food in the mountains, and there will be bacon on the mountain people, I can buy some in advance, maybe, it is better than the current situation." ”

Erya opened her mouth, but was stopped by Sun Heng reaching out.

"Shh......h

He pointed to the middle of the field: "Don't make a sound, senior brother has started to practice the stick technique." ”

Every evening, some of the apprentices would practice the stick technique here, and they did not avoid people, after all, there were no outsiders here, and they would learn it in the future.

Besides, they just practice at random, move their muscles and bones, even if others see it, how much can they learn?
