Chapter 12 Property

After saying the important thing, the silver armor man obviously had no intention of continuing to wander, and without waiting for the Lord of Linshui City to greet him, he turned around and went back on his own. The Lord of Linshui City sat in the car, and although he was extremely afraid of the Silver Armor, he also walked away. Leaving the first Ming and the two at a loss, they thought that the matter of the medicine hall was just talking, and they were about to turn back, but they found that a middle-aged man in a long shirt greeted them. It turned out that the Lord of Linshui City swept away his previous cowardice before the silver armor left, and waved his hand to call a long-shirted official to assist them in collecting the pharmacy.

The official's surname is Jia, so the fellow sergeants are called Lord Jia, because the city lord and the silver armor have explained, so the high-spirited Jia Daren to the sergeant is extremely affectionate to the first two people, and does not take the attitude of the two savages as a laughing stock. The group walked towards the pharmacy, Lord Jia deliberately got close, and the first Ming pretended to flatter, but the two complemented each other.

Master Jia said things such as a bright future, a long journey, a brilliant journey, and invincible bravery, and when he saw that the foreshadowing was almost over, he asked, "I don't know who else is in the strong man's family?"

The first Ming thought to himself: This is to come to visit me! This city lord sits in a city, it must not be very difficult to check my heels, I have to deal with it carefully! I adjusted my thinking and said: "I am originally a native of Bailuo Guonan, my family is a businessman, I am honest and wealthy, my father had a dream a year ago, and in the dream, the eldest mother blamed my father for being unfilial, and my uncle in the Taoist family is still alive, and he is lonely and miserable in the water, and no one takes care of him. I think my uncle came to settle here thirty years ago, and he has no wife and no children, and he is old and helpless. Pity the lonely old man, my father called me to pick up my uncle. A few years ago, I took a boat in the south of Bailuo to look for my uncle, I never thought that I would encounter a catastrophe on the water, and my luggage was lost, but fortunately I met my brother Heiwa playing by the water, rescued me, and sent me to be treated. My brother was born different, not accepted by the villagers, so he lived outside the village, my uncle was often worried about him, and my luggage was lost, unable to return home, so he took care of my brother outside the village, hunted and collected medicine, took care of my uncle, and hoped to save enough bags as soon as possible, so as to take my uncle home and complete his father's life. Alas, thinking that now, I have only returned home for half a year, and I don't know if my parents are okay at home. ”

When Lord Jia heard this, he didn't know whether it was true or not, and said movingly: "There are many righteous people in the world! I don't want strong men to be so pure and filial, true and righteous people! But don't worry about strong men, now that they have tiger skins, and they have these Xu family belongings, and the strong brothers will always be strong, and they will have to take merit, and they must return to their hometowns with wealth after the battle of Beijian in the future." ”

First Ming smiled after hearing this, and arched his hand: "Cheng Daren has good words." After speaking, as if thinking of something, he asked again: "I don't know if Lord Jia can know the order of this city?"

Master Jia nodded when he heard this: "Since we have known each other, this city has been guarding my colleagues for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as close friends. I wonder why the strong man asked?"

First Ming smiled bitterly: "But I entered the city today to offer treasures, and I didn't want to have some misunderstandings with the nephew of the city guard." ”

How could the eunuchs not know the temper of these juniors, Lord Jia smiled when he heard it: "Don't worry about the strong man, even if it is a misunderstanding, I will talk to the city guard." ”

First Ming was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Lord Jia." However, there is one more thing I would like to ask. ”

Master Jia is good-tempered, he was not tired of seeing the first Ming's continuous questioning, and still smiled and said, "Excuse me." ”

The first Ming said: "I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I have lived in Bailuo since I was young, I don't know about major events, and I am shocked to hear the name of Beijian, and I am even puzzled, just a city, how to make this gesture?"

After hearing this, Master Jia stopped, drank the people behind him, hurriedly pulled the first Ming two steps forward, and said coldly: "Beijian is not a city, but a big country! Now that the two polar countries are under its soldiers, you don't have to talk about it anymore, their people are moody, if people hear the report, those who say you will ask for sin, and I will also ask for sin!"

Seeing that his actions did not seem to be fake, First Ming hurriedly nodded and admitted his mistake, praising his unintentional mistake.

Seeing this, Master Jia replied with a slightly pale face: "The strong man is gone, so he should fight bravely to kill the enemy and fight for a good future!"

First Ming hurriedly replied, and then continued to move forward.

After this incident, seeing that Lord Jia was not interested, in order to prevent the atmosphere from being embarrassing, First Ming had been looking for a conversation, saying interesting things in the forest, seeing that Lord Jia was absent-minded, and talking about snake exorcism with Lord Jia, his eyebrows were dancing, and Lord Jia was unhappy, but he would also listen. Soon, the group of people arrived at their destination.

Located in the middle of the central street of Linshui Cross, the two polar countries have underdeveloped agriculture, but there are many forests, so there are many kinds of herbs, so the largest store in the city is not a store, but a drugstore.

The first Ming took a closer look, only to see four or five people standing outside the door of the eighteenth open to greet them, there were old and young, men and women, and the four big characters of Linshui Medicine Hall were written in the two poles of Chinese script on the door.

Seeing the destination, Lord Jia seemed to be back in the state, leading the first two people into the medicine hall, and introduced as he walked: "There are five medicine halls in Linshui City, only the Linshui Medicine Hall is the largest, and there are many medicines in it. Medicine Hall can deposit 100 pieces of gold in the year, for the convenience of the strong man to receive, the city lord will buy the shopkeeper together, if the strong man still has questions, you can call the shopkeeper to ask. ”

Listen to the introduction of Lord Jia, the first Ming repeatedly said yes, the secret road of this waterfront city lord is also very thoughtful, they have not yet arrived, this store has been completely arranged, what a talent! Look at this store again, about 400 square meters, enter, a landscape screen stands in the middle, after the screen, there are several yellow wood tables and chairs under the two vermilion lacquer pillars, there are large cabinets in the east, west and north directions, there are two door curtains next to the middle cabinet, obviously there are compartments behind it, the whole store is very atmospheric.

Seeing that the store was so big, the first Ming was shocked in his heart, and after the earthquake, he was happy, and after seeing Lord Jia finish speaking, he made a series of words: "Thank you for the great grace of the city lord, take care of the small people so much, this matter has been done perfectly, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

After hearing this, Master Jia smiled politely and replied: "That's the case, a strong man and familiar with the shop, if there is any problem, just come to the southeast corner of the city to find me." ”

The first Ming hurriedly said: "How dare you bother the adults again!"

When Master Jia heard this, he smiled again and said, "Then I'll leave first." ”

Seeing that Master Jia and his party were far away, First Ming stroked his face with his hand, wiped away his smile, and secretly said that this officialdom is not good, and he has to laugh everywhere. After recovering, he looked at the black baby behind him again, and saw that he was also looking at himself, knowing that he might not be able to figure out what the situation was now, so he ignored him, looked at the five people standing respectfully behind him, and asked, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

Then one of the five people came out and replied, "I am the shopkeeper." ”

The first Ming said: "Well, what is your name, you can introduce me to the person behind you, and then tell me about the situation of the store in detail." ”

After listening to this, the shopkeeper first made a gesture and replied: "Go back to the shopkeeper, and the old body is called to drive south." In charge of in-store drug purchase, drug dispensing, accounting and cashiering. After that, he pointed to the old man in the crowd and said, "This is the medicine hall doctor, called Min Hui." Min turned around and was held by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and saluted to the first Ming when he heard the sound.

The shopkeeper pointed to the beautiful girl among them and said, "This is Min Hui's grandson Xiaokui, who is dispensing medicine in the medicine hall." When the girl heard this, she saluted the first song.

The shopkeeper then pointed to the last two and said, "These two are brothers, the tall one is called Qishan, and the short one is called near the water, collecting and planting medicines for the store, greeting guests, and doing some chores." The two brothers were both in their twenties, and they smiled at the first Ming when they heard this.

The first Ming swept everyone and smiled with satisfaction, these people are at least good people on the surface, and there are no thorns. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go and do things, and the shopkeeper will show me the accounts." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper ordered a few people to do things, and arranged for the first two people to sit down in the compartment.

There are matching rosewood tables and chairs in the compartments, like a guest room.

After the two of them sat down, the shopkeeper first served tea, and then asked Qishan to bring a bunch of bamboo slips near the water.

The first Ming looked at the bamboo slips, his head was big for a while, and he was going to the barracks tomorrow, so he had these idle tents, so he simply stopped looking at it, and called the shopkeeper to come in and asked, "Now there is gold geometry in the store?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he subconsciously replied without thinking: "Back to the shopkeeper, the gold and silver were all removed by the former shopkeeper before, and now there are only twenty gold bars in the store, and a little silver." ”

First Ming said: "After removing the daily expenses in the store, how much is available?"

Seeing the appearance of the first Ming, the shopkeeper was afraid that the first Ming would do something to kill chickens and take eggs, and said slowly: "The store is now fully stocked, and if the expenses are removed, there are ten gold articles available... However, people should not be free from trouble, so it is not appropriate to spend lavishly now..."

First Ming couldn't hear the shopkeeper's reminder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Let me ask you, how much is a gold worth of silver? What is the monthly income in the store?

"Back to the strong man, a gold is worth a hundred silver, the store can enter the hardware within the month, the store three young people, three pieces of silver per month, Min Hui for the doctor, five pieces of silver per month, I am quite complicated, so the month into six pieces of silver. ”

That is, the labor expenditure in one month is only 20 yuan, less than 25 percent of the store's income? The evil capitalism! The first Ming secretly sighed at the harshness of the original store owner to the employees, waved his hand, and said: "With such a small salary, how can you support your family, and double it!"

"Ahh

First Ming looked at it and asked, "What's wrong?"

He knew that the wages in the store were already considered high-income people in Linshui City, and now when he heard that he was going to increase his salary, the shopkeeper was first surprised, and then he was happy, and he replied with a smile in his wrinkles: "No, no, there is nothing wrong, the shopkeeper is wise!"

First Ming sighed in his heart, and when he was feeling comfortable, he remembered that he was going to go to the battlefield and asked, "Does the shopkeeper know about this Beijian?"

As soon as the first voice fell, the shopkeeper's smiling face changed instantly, and he was busy covering his ears, and said hurriedly: "The shopkeeper doesn't want to say anything more, he is guilty!" After speaking, he trotted out.

Master Jia is okay, and so is the shopkeeper! First Ming secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and he wanted to go back and ask the old doctor's opinion, so he didn't stay, got up and left. Before leaving, he took five pieces of silver from the shopkeeper.

Although the silver piece is a piece, it is actually a rectangular silver piece, and the first Ming took five pieces, thinking that there were about one or two, and they were all put into the animal skin clothes to hold. When the two of them walked in the middle of the street this time, they saw that there were a lot fewer people on the street, and the two of them were still eye-catching. However, this time the attention was not the same singularity as before, but it became more complicated, such as surprise, resentment, and envy.

But none of this attracted the attention of the first Ming, so he took Heiwa to the previous malt candy shop, took out a piece of silver, and said, "Give me two catties of sugar." ”

After speaking, I saw the candy seller with a wry smile on his face: "The guest officer is arrogant, but the small shop really can't be found!"

First Ming asked, "Then how much are your two catties of sugar worth?"

The candy seller said: "Two catties of sugar is only a hundred dollars, your silver is worth thousands of dollars, and the small store really can't be opened!"

The first Ming Fang woke up, and then after a calculation, he exclaimed: "I have unknowingly become a 10,000 yuan household!"

Then he was not embarrassed by the peddler, the first Ming went to buy a piece of cloth and two sets of clothes that fitted, and after spending a piece and a half of silver, he changed some change and came to buy candy.
