The early morning mist gradually lifted, and the town of Puri started a new day. The crowd on the street gradually increased. Fishermen carry baskets full of sea fish, farmers in the countryside carry fruits and vegetables from the fields, and craftsmen also take out their own elaborate farm tools, needles and threads, and set up small stalls on the side of the dirt road, shouting one after another. The noise makes people feel the heat rolling even in the bitter cold winter. The town seemed to be awakened by the noise, and the shops on Main Street opened their doors one after another to start their business.

At this moment, a young man in a strange moon-white robe walked slowly and quickly through the long main street and into the grass market where the vendors gathered.

The young man looked like he was the son of a rich and noble family, but the strange thing was that it was still so early, and it was too rare to see this morning light on the road. Moreover, the son who did not follow the group wandered in this grass market where the grass people at the bottom gathered, and he also had a sense of disobedience that stood out from the crowd.

To say that this son is just an ordinary person with bright clothes, he doesn't look like much, just the appearance of fine skin and tender meat, at first glance, he is pampered and accustomed, and it is not a small family that can raise it at all. And the chic and free temperament revealed from the bones, even if it is a merchant with a little wealth, it is not said that it can be taught.

However, although this boy looks noble, he can shuttle through this dirty and messy grass market, and when he looks at his skillful movements, he knows that this is not the first time he has come here. Moreover, Childe's face is always full of smiles, and he does not show the slightest arrogance and prejudice to the people and things around him, even if he accidentally touches the old peasant in shabby clothes, he will not scold, but will apologize first, and occasionally meet an acquaintance who is probably in the market, and he will say hello loudly without being figured.

This slender and handsome son is Xin Yu, who is now twelve years old. Time has passed in a hurry, and he has grown into a young man in the wind of Yushu, perhaps his age is still not out of the boundaries of children, but his stature is not short, no different from ordinary youth. The white and beardless face has also faded from baby fat, and even if you look closely, you can't see the childishness of a teenager at all.

Since returning from that trip, Chen Moru's nominal master has carried his star stone into the ashram, and all the eating, drinking, and sleeping have been resolved in the separate courtyard where the ashram is located, and he has never come out so far. And Xin Yu, a person who wandered on the edge of the Chen Mansion, was a little embarrassed. Especially after Lan Ke'er was picked up by her family, he had almost no one to communicate with in the Chen Mansion. As for the Purple Tower, they ...... Forget it, even the shipbuilding workshop cannot be disbanded or continued, and there is no need to talk about anything else. As for pure chatting, if you find that bad old man to brag and fart, it is better to practice Tai Chi more by yourself. Therefore, being able to experience the life of the city is not only not disgusting to him, but also feels very comfortable.

Most of the surrounding crowd didn't pay attention to Xin Yu's arrival, because this boy often frequented here. As long as you are not a foreigner, you have seen a lot in the past few years, and naturally you don't think there is anything wrong with this misfit "upper class" coming here.

"Boss Yu, why is there less and less ginseng recently?" Walking to a stall selling herbs, Xin Yu immediately shouted loudly, no need to shout, this will be the most lively time in the grass market, and there is no difference between speaking gently and abstinently.

In fact, as soon as Xin Yu appeared in the grass market, Boss Yu found out. Supposedly, he should have immediately stood up to welcome this old customer, but he showed the expression of a ghost, and he did not have the attitude that God should have. It's really Xin Yu's debt collector who urges the goods twice in three days, which makes him feel happy and painful in love-hate.

Say welcome, tonic medicines like ginseng and atractylodes, Xin Yu, the son-in-law, has never bargained and swept the goods directly, just that kind of respectful attitude makes Boss Yu willing to deal with him, which is far better than those wealthy doglegs of the housekeeper.

Let's say I'm afraid to see it, this customer's needs are too narrow, and non-precious tonic herbs are not needed. Although Yu Jinchang is called the boss by this son, he is actually an ordinary medicine picker, but his family has rich experience in finding medicine, so he is more than others. You must know that there is no artificial cultivation technology in this world, all the precious medicinal materials are wild in the ravines, but it is not that the leeks in the field can be regenerated after cutting a stubble, where can he satisfy the big appetite of Xin Yu, a big customer.

"Ouch, isn't this Xin Gongzi? Your old man came here so early today? You see, I was negligent for a while, I'm sorry, I'm slacking, I'm slacking. Boss Yu also knew that he couldn't hide, but he just subconsciously pretended to be an ostrich before.

Being called an old man, Xin Yu was already numb with disgust, so he automatically ignored this flattering title that made him feel uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Boss Yu, I also know that it is not easy for you to collect medicine, and recently you are afraid that you have also bought a lot of medicine from other medicine pickers at a high price, I am here to try my luck today, and I have no intention of urging you to supply." ”

When Boss Yu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a debt collection, he immediately promised: "Master Xin, I only have a mountain ginseng of about ten years here today." But don't worry, those boys in my family have all graduated from the school now, and they are collecting medicine in the mountains at this time, and I will definitely be able to get you more in the future. ”

Xin Yu shook his head and said, "Boss Yu, don't work too hard, your eldest is only fourteen this year, and the eldest is only nine years old, isn't it too dangerous to let them go into the mountain alone?"

Boss Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this is our rice bowl, it's not been a day or two for them to go into the mountain with me, and it's time to collect medicine independently." Besides, how can we medicine pickers not be dangerous, if we don't meet a high-roller like Xin Gongzi, we can't sell it at a good price no matter how much medicine we pick, how can we satisfy Xin Gongzi, right?"

Listening to the constant compliments of Boss Yu, Xin Yu didn't care, picked up a small bag wrapped in a clean small piece of silk, opened it and put the only wild ginseng under his nose and sniffed it, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, how about two taels of silver this time?"

Boss Yu immediately nodded and said, "Cheng, I know that Gongzi Xin will not treat us badly haha, next time if there is goods, I will ask someone to deliver a message to you." ”

After buying the ginseng, Xin Yu didn't stay long in the grass market, although he didn't discriminate against these small citizens at the bottom of the society who were struggling to survive, he couldn't stand the unpleasant smell here. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Jinchang, a medicine picker, had offended the only two medicine shops in the market and could only set up a stall to sell in the grass market, he would not be happy to come here to trade.

With the only gain, Xin Yu patronized the two pharmacies that had opened on the main street, but unfortunately, although there must be some stock in the pharmacies, they are not only pharmacies, but also medical shops, and they must reserve some in case of emergency.

Although this world has not developed a high-tech civilization due to the interference of astrology, after all, it has a history of more than 5,000 or even nearly 10,000 years, and it also has brilliant achievements in medicine that are no less than those of Chinese medicine in the previous life, so things like mountain ginseng that replenish qi have long been applied to life by ordinary people and even astromagicians.

As the only market town within thousands of miles away, Puli Town is sparsely populated and has dozens or hundreds of gentry and wealthy merchants, and if they don't store some of these medicinal materials that can hang their lives, the pharmacy will not be able to operate. After all, they are not merchants of medicinal herbs who buy low and sell high, and their main income is to provide medical services to the Gaomen Inner Hospital.

In fact, at the beginning, Xin Yu's demand for tonic medicine was not urgent to the point of eating it as a meal like now, but in the past year, his true qi has accumulated to a very deep level, and the transformation efficiency has been greatly improved. If you take the previous amount of supplement, not to mention the progress is not obvious, it may also affect the growth of the body. He is now in the second stage of development in his life, not only to consider the progress of internal strength, but also to the strength of the physical body, if the refining of qi is excessive, it is impossible to say that all the energy that should supply the growth of the body will be transformed into true qi. If that's the case, by the time the body grows, the function of the internal organs and bone marrow will not reach its peak, which will not only damage the foundation of qi refining, but also greatly affect its own lifespan.

Just as he was thinking about how to get more medicinal materials, a basic shout suddenly came from behind him: "Xin Gongzi, wait for me, Xin Gongzi." ”

Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man in a brocade suit with a fat drum, who was trying to chase after him. Because the brocade robe is a little long, the middle-aged running looks like a meat ball rolling, and what's even more funny is that the melon skin hat on the middle-aged head is crooked to the side because of the violent running, which makes people can't help but spray rice when they see it.

Seeing this fat ball that looked like an imperial army, Xin Yu immediately recognized it, but this image was too memorable for him.

Xin Yu slapped his thigh, why did he forget about him, he wasted so much time collecting medicinal herbs in vain, this person is said to have hands and eyes. Even if the project he runs seems to have no medicinal materials, the merchants who come to Puli Town do not always deal in one kind of item, at least it is a hope that the urgent demand for medicinal materials can be alleviated.

At least it won't get any worse, and it won't take much effort to mention it anyway.
