Chapter IV Ping An Commercial Bank

The whole road is full of potholes, although there are gravel paved on it, but it has not been overhauled for many years, causing rainwater to accumulate in the pool, and sometimes Yang Qing accidentally stepped directly on the water and splashed a puddle of sludge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Getting closer and closer to Tianque City, there are more and more pedestrians and caravans on the road, and sometimes you can see the elite guards in armor guarding the dignitaries, of course, at this time, Yang Qing will inevitably flash over the roadside, Yang Qing has already had a few whip marks on his body and has been taught, the fertile fields on the roadside are endless, and the farmers who work hard in the fields.

"This is Tianque City, so magnificent?", Yang Qing stood under the wall of Tianque City, looked up, dozens of zhang of the city wall rose from the ground, the wide female wall and pheasant moat rose and fell, the city wall also built a higher battlement, the sun shining on the majestic city wall shining with a dim aftertaste.

"It is estimated that only God can beat the entire city", Yang Qing stood under the gate of the city wall, in addition to admiring the world, it was more of a kind of insignificance, there was a plaque in the center of the city gate, on which a string of words of the world was written, if it was translated, it should be "Tianque City", at least Yang Qing thought so.

It is also strange to say that Yang Qing traveled to the entire body and was able to speak the language of the whole world proficiently, but he really didn't know the words, because the original owner of this body was also illiterate.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to popularize culture, and it is a shame that famous college students don't even know their children. ”

Crossing the long drawbridge, the water of the moat meandered beneath his feet, and on either side of the gate stood two rows of guards, dressed in black armor and holding bright spears, the heads of which glowed metallicly in the light of the sun.

There are a lot of pedestrians passing through the doorway, shoulder to shoulder, plus the horse-drawn carriage that sometimes gallops, and when they pass through the wall door, the view is cheerful. A wide stone-paved flat street grows to the limit of the field of vision, both sides of the street are all kinds of shops, high-rise buildings, carved dragons and phoenixes, antique shops, weapons shops, food shops can be seen everywhere, compared to Xianghe County, it is a world of difference, and in an instant Yang Qing seems to be in the prosperity of the modern city.

"Uncle Water Ghost said that if you want to go to a distant place alone, it is better to follow the caravan with you, because the caravan will hire guards and it is very safe. And the caravan will release some recruitment information in the hotel, after all, the caravan of Nuoda also needs a variety of services", Yang Qing directly began to look along both sides of the street, for the current Yang Qing The sooner he goes to Chao Ge Xue Palace, the sooner he is safe, and the sooner he improves his strength.

Yang Qing found the largest hotel, the hotel is very recognizable, it is the loudest noise, and all kinds of travelers come in and out.

The interior of the hotel was full of people, tall samurai, swordsmen with long swords, and all kinds of people, most of whom gathered in groups to drink and gamble, or show off their amazing adventures, and all kinds of noisy noises were extremely noisy.

Yang Qing squeezed through a crowd of people, he is still small and rarely estimated to be about one meter five, it is very convenient to drill in and out of the crowd.

"Look at the notice, is there any caravan that needs to serve manpower", Yang Qing stopped at the information bar on the left side of the first floor of the hotel, and asked someone about the content of this information column.

"The royal family of the city lord's mansion needs 20 guards, 10 family members, 30 slaves and maids, 2 teaching gentlemen, and 4 martial arts instructors.

Without the occupation that Yang Qing needed, he quickly walked through the crowd, squeezed to the information bar on the right side of the hotel, and continued to ask the hotel junior next to him.

"The Ping An caravan needs 22 escorts, 3 cooks, and 40 attendants...... The Ping An caravan departs from Tianque City, and the final point is the royal city of Baohua Mansion, and those who are interested go directly to the office of Ping An Commercial Bank for inspection, and those who pass will be admitted."

Knowing that there was a need for retinues to do chores, Yang Qing was ecstatic, and it seemed that there was a way to go to the royal city of Baohua Mansion.

He also saw that there was a need for guards, and if his strength or height were satisfied, he could consider it.

Generally, the guards are martial artists, and they learn hand-to-hand combat and combat skills. Martial arts cultivation is stronger, and it can hit different damage effects with different martial arts practices.

Yang Qing's Dragon and Tiger Gong practice method is to increase his physique, and the playing style can play the characteristic of "Starburst", which is to multiply the output instantly.

......

"Now it's just a matter of finding Ping An Firm," Yang Qing said backwards past the other hotel guests.

"It's really annoying that you don't know the words", Yang Qing was a little scratchy in his heart, in fact, he had found this Ping An firm several times, but he missed it because he didn't know the words on the plaque, and he asked the bank several times in a row to find it.

Although Ping An Commercial Bank is not as noisy and crowded as the hotel just now, there are still a lot of people coming in and out, and there is already a long queue outside. There are those who drag their families, there are pawn sellers, and there are those who come to be inspected.

"It's hard to find a job, except for modern times, this world is the same", Yang Qing followed the customs and lined up at the end of the long line.

The snake-like team kept getting smaller, some people were happy and some were crying, and Yang Qing was watching the flowers. Entering the interior of the Ping An caravan, a huge wooden partition separates the entire first floor of the commercial bank, leaving only a circular office window, a bit like a modern bank.

Sitting in the office window was a fat man with a round face, no beard, and his round chin fluctuated as he kept talking.

When it was Yang Qing's turn, the fat man directly said, "I still came to apply for a job."

"Oh, I want to apply for the retinue to do chores", Yang Qing said, afraid that the fat man would not understand the position he wanted, and continued, "It's the entourage who rushed from Tianque City to Baohua Mansion to do chores." “

The fat man originally looked down at the work sheet in his hand, but when he heard Yang Qing's words, he looked up at Yang Qing carefully, and his small eyes revealed doubts, "You are too young to do any work." “

"It's so small, you see I eat less, but I have a lot of strength", Yang Qing took off his shirt to expose his muscles, after the last time the potential point was strengthened, Yang Qing found that his muscles were bulging, "I don't want money yet, just eat enough." ”

It is estimated that the fat man was impressed by the lack of money, and the fat man gave it to a pharmacist. It is thousands of miles away to go to the royal city of Baohua Mansion, and there are many people along the way, so it must be equipped with 1 pharmacist, who is about forty or fifty years old, with high cheekbones, pointed chin, and a sharp fricative when he speaks, and the smell of herbs exudes from his body.

"Huang Yaoshi, the whole little ghost head will be handed over to you, and any work will be handed over to him in the future", the fat man said directly to the pharmacist who was seeing patients in the pharmacy and left directly.

The pharmacy is in a large courtyard behind the Ping An shop, and there are many larger courtyards around it, all of which are stationed with different people, and some yards are full of goods.

"Little ghost, what's your name", Huang Yaoshi was prescribing medicine to a middle-aged man with a yellow face.

"My name is Yang Qing, a person from Taohua Village, Xianghe County", Yang Qing responded sweetly, the name of this pharmacist is really painful, which makes Yang Qing think of a very famous martial arts novel character in his previous life.

The next thing is for Yang Qing to go to work, although the caravan has not yet started, but Huang Yaoshi is not ambiguous about Yang Qing.

His main job now is to pound and boil medicine, and the general workflow is to watch the furnace in the process of pounding medicine. Boil the medicine is generally boiled twice, and warm water needs to be continuously added in the middle to prevent the herbs from drying out.

Yang Qing, who was guarding the medicine furnace for the first time, focused on pounding the medicine, but the medicinal herbs were boiled dry, "I don't know what I was doing all day?", now all he heard in his ears was a medicine boy from Huang Yaoshi reprimanding him.

Originally, Yang Qing's work was done by this medicine boy, who was similar in age to Yang Qing, not as strong as Yang Qing, very thin, and exuded a sickly sweet smell all day long.

Pounding medicine is also a hard job, which cannot be completed without a certain amount of physical strength and endurance, no wonder Huang Yaoshi let himself replace the work of the whole kid.

Although the medicine pounding jar is not big, the medicine pounding pestle is very heavy, and it also needs enough pressure to grind the medicinal materials in the jar, "ninety-one, ninety-two", every time Yang Qing uses the pestle hard, Yang Qing counts it, and the stove in the yard makes a "whew" and "whew" sound.

Yang Qinglisuo put on gloves, grabbed the handle of the medicine stove and put the medicinal juice in the medicine stove into the medicine jar, and waited for no liquid to flow out of the medicine stove and put it on the stove, add some warm water and continue to boil.

"Yang Qing, this pair of medicinal materials should be pounded and boiled quickly, and the patient will take it immediately", the boy came out of the pharmacy, holding the newly grabbed medicine in his hand, as a veteran medicine boy of Huang Yaoshi, he already has the ability to recognize and grasp medicine, and his daily work is to dispense and catch medicine according to the pharmacy prescribed by Huang Yaoshi, and the other is to supervise Yang Qing.

"Okay, boil it immediately, wait for the No. 3 medicine pot to boil right away", in the courtyard of Huang Yaoshi, there are three stoves, and you can boil three medicines at the same time, and then you have to wait.

The medicine boy walked to the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 medicine jars, sniffed them, lifted the lid of the medicine jars and looked at them, "Hurry up, I don't know what you've been doing all day, grinding and grinding", the medicine boy reprimanded.

"You said it easily, there are only three stoves, and you have to boil dozens of medicines every day, not to mention that I have to pound the medicine, you just need to grab the medicine, and you won't have back pain when you stand and talk", the anger in Yang Qing's heart has already begun to burn.

"Yo, you still dare to talk back, it's not a small courage", the medicine boy stood beside Yang Qing with his hands on his waist, and became very angry. "Believe it or not, I'll tell the pharmacist to let you leave immediately. “

Yang Qing has had enough of this medicine boy's bitter sarcasm, every time he "fights" with the medicine boy, his dinner will be greatly reduced, he knows that it is the medicine boy who is making trouble behind, Yang Qing can only hope that the business firm will leave quickly and end his life here as soon as possible.

The night is silent, for modern people, the sunset is the beginning of life, but the end of the sun in this backward era represents the end of a busy day.

Yang Qing was lying on the stone bed in the storage room, although Huang Yaoshi's place was a courtyard house, but the big house in the middle was a medicine shop, the house on the left was his sleeping room, and the house on the right was storage plus two stone beds, separated by a screen in the middle, and the whole room was filled with a smell of Chinese medicine, which was Yang Qing's current residence.

"It is estimated that no matter where I go now, the smell of medicine on my body must be strong", Yang Qing affirmed.

The moon slowly rose from the east, and the moonlight slowly began to move from the corner, shining on Yang Qing through the window screen. The bed next door is the medicine boy, as long as he lies on the bed, he is like a dead man, he can't wake up, every morning Yang Qing has a new task is to call the medicine boy to get up, every time the medicine boy gets up, he stares at Yang Qing with hatred every time he gets up.

"After practicing Dragon and Tiger Gong", Yang Qing found that practicing Dragon and Tiger Gong could effectively relieve the soreness of his arm.

He had been with Huang Yaoshi for about ten days now, and he increased his potential points by practicing Dragon and Tiger Gong every day, and his potential points had already exceeded 100% four days ago, reaching 110% points.

He loads potential points into his physique. His physique attribute has become 0.5, and he has experienced the improvement of his whole body in one time, in addition to strength, reaction speed, muscles, and even his eyesight is clearer, and his current ordinary strength must be more than 100 catties, estimated at about 120.

But just after he raised his physique attribute to 0.5, the increase in potential points brought to him by Dragon Tiger Gong every day changed from 25% to 5%, "Could it be that the better the physique, the weaker the improvement brought by Dragon Tiger Gong?"

Therefore, Yang Qing's current potential point is only 110%, and he doesn't dare to add it to his physique now, so he can only add it to the exercises, "Gongfa: Dragon and Tiger Gong (First Layer) Perfection", this is currently the state of Yang Qing's Dragon and Tiger Gong, and the exercises have become gray again.

"This means that the Dragon and Tiger Gong can't go any further, unless there is a second layer of asana practice to continue to grow", the consummation-level Dragon and Tiger Gong gave Yang Qing an astonishing four-fold increase in the strength of the cannon shape and hammer shape.

With the 0.5 attribute of physique, the basic strength is 120 catties, if it is increased by four times, then the explosive ability of Yang Qing's cannon shape directly reaches 600 catties, of course, the premise is that the enemy can only hit if he stands still.

Yang Qing now seems to be impatient to get the second level of Dragon and Tiger Gong practice. "In addition to the dragon and tiger skills, special substances must also be obtained", Yang Qing has always had special feelings for the tokens of water ghosts.

"The current strength is more powerful with the cannon shape and hammer form explosion ability, but unfortunately there is no opponent to fight against him", Yang Qing's only frustration now is that he is all groping by himself in the process of cultivation, without reference and guidance.

"My knowledge of martial arts and martial arts cultivation in the whole world is too scarce", Yang Qing needs to study systematically, and it is best to find a teacher.

The night was silent......

"Get up, little ghosts", Huang Yaoshi wakes up the earliest in the morning, and usually knocks on the door of the storage house when he gets up.

"Pap" "Pap", Yang Qing lifted the quilt after hearing Huang Yaoshi call the bed, the morning of early spring was still relatively cold, but since Yang Qing added the two potential points to his physique, his sensitivity to the cold has decreased a lot, and sometimes he feels very hot in the middle of the night.

The medicine boy who slept in the bed adjacent to Yang Qing not only covered two quilts, but also added a layer of clothes on them. After putting on his clothes, Yang Qing walked to the side of the medicine boy, lifted the quilt directly, and the cold air went directly into the medicine boy's quilt, "I really want to kill you", the medicine boy was intimidating him every time after he woke up.

Yang Qing shrugged his shoulders, he knew that the medicine boy was afraid of him, and from his eyes, his arms were thicker than the medicine boy's thighs, he was the same age as Yang Qing, but he was a head shorter.

After getting up in the morning and washing up, eat breakfast directly in the center of the medicine hall, the breakfast in this era is very simple, usually porridge, steamed buns with pickled beans, at least civilians generally eat like this.

"The caravan is going to leave tomorrow, Yang Qing, you and I will follow my team to the royal city of Baohua Mansion, and the third son, you stay and take care of the pharmacy", just after Yang Qing finished eating the fifth bowl of porridge, Huang Yaoshi said this. Sanzi is another name for the medicine boy, and the pharmacist often calls him so.

"Really", Yang Qing finally waited for this day, the dragon entered the sea, and the tiger entered the deep mountains.

"Okay", the medicine boy also responded, catching a glimpse of Yang Qing filling another bowl of porridge, and sarcastically said, "Are you a pig? Eat seven or eight bowls of porridge and five or six steamed buns in the morning." “

"It's so hard to pound medicine, how can you work if you don't eat more, you have the ability to pound medicine", Yang Qingding went back.

Huang Yaoshi has long been familiar with the open and secret battle between these two little ghosts, and he doesn't care about it, as long as he does his job well, he doesn't care if you fly into the sky.

Because at night it was the medicine boy who went to the kitchen to get food, and the medicine master didn't eat it at night, saying that dinner was Hades' meal, and the more you ate, the more harm it would be.

The medicine boy must not be kind to get food, Yang Qing tried to eat as much as possible at noon and in the morning, with the increase of physical attributes, the continuous growth of his body, Yang Qing's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, even if he is full now, the hunger will hit immediately after a while.

According to the standard of the whole world, Yang Qing's current height should be about six feet, that is, about seven blades, "I am only fourteen years old now, and I am estimated to be able to play in the NBA at the age of twenty", Yang Qing smiled when he thought of his height, but unfortunately there is no NBA in this world.
