Chapter 23 The Man Wearing a Bucket Hat
Ximenqing
Ximenqing hasn't been wandering on the street recently, because he feels a little wrong.
The newcomer just went to the sedan chair opposite and never came to other shops again. He had prepared a gift money to wait for him to visit in the pharmacy every day, so that he could quickly make a confession, but he didn't say that he would not come. Ximen Qing waited for a few days to know that the newcomer actually went to Guihua Building to become a shopkeeper.
Ximen Qing admitted that he was stunned at that time, which was really contrary to common sense. Although Yanggu County is not big, it is fat and short. Among other things, when you walk around one shop, a lot of silver comes. I heard that the shopkeeper of the sedan was generous and gave it to the first house in Xindu alone. According to this standard, the shops in the back can't give too little. Ximenqing thought that if he became the head of the capital, not to mention the shopkeeper of Guihua Building, the position of the shopkeeper of all shops in Quanyang Valley would definitely choose to be the head of the capital. It's not easy to be a businessman. How can you be an official?
More than 30 days have passed, and there are more and more wrong things. First of all, the official's control of the street has become obviously strict, and you can often see the official's men swinging back and forth on the street in civilian clothes. In addition, it has become quite difficult to get in and out of Yanggu. In the past, Ximenqing was often able to get all kinds of things from the dock in Yanggu. In some cases, he could get a beautiful girl and send it back to pay after a few days. Silver two, but these are not available now. Everyone who enters and exits the Yanggu should be checked in detail, and the questions asked are also quite philosophical: Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?
These questions always make Ximen Qing think that the monks who often talk about Zen in the temple and the Taoist priests who gossip on the street are asked questions.
Another point is that Yanggu County is now in a state of restricting the flow of silver. The second shopkeeper of the pharmacy took 50 taels of silver out of the county and was actually blocked back. It is said that the amount involved is large, and he needs to go to the county government office for the record and check the account before he can take the money out of the country.
Let's record it. What does this pharmacy sell if there is no medicine? Ximenqing sent the second shopkeeper to the county government, and found that the people in the county government had queued up for the record, but only the first three people were filed every day. There are a lot of transactions in the county, and dozens of them are involved in the transfer of funds every day. The filing is not enough.
Moreover, it is said that the three successful records every day are all childcare, all of which are fake. Yanggu County has now been curfew, and the money here cannot be transferred. Everyone is complaining that if this time lasts for another two months, everyone will close down together.
Now, even fools know that something has happened to Yanggu. But no one knows what happened. According to the speculation of various actions of the government, it can only be thought that there may be an unknown amount of silver in Yanggu County, and now someone may want to find out the money.
Therefore, at this time, Ximen Qing did not wander on the street. He sits in the store every day.
The business of the pharmacy is very bleak. The main source of income of this pharmacy is some large families, and they always want some rare medicinal materials. Ximenqing doesn't have much liquidity, and rare medicinal materials have never been in stock. Only when someone does decide to let the second shopkeeper go elsewhere to buy it. Now that the money is not allowed to flow, the business of large families will be cut off.
Just a few days passed, and there was no business until the afternoon. Ximenqing, the shopkeeper and the clerk on the counter are all extremely boring. When the owner is there, it is not easy for the shopkeeper to be lazy, and the shopkeeper is not easy to be lazy, and the clerks have to sit upright. While was exhausting, a man came out of the door. He was quite tall, dressed in ordinary gray clothes, and his clothes were a little ragged. He carried a burden and a big hat on his head. He came in with his head down. So even if he is very tall, Ximen Qing still can't see his complete face, and can only see a chin that seems to have touched black gray.
"Gest, what can I do for you?" Ximen Qing took the initiative to welcome him. He usually did not like to receive business, but there were no guests on this day, and the opening was still very happy.
"Gold Sore Medicine." The man spoke hoarsely, as if he had broken his throat after shouting hard.
"Yes, there is." Ximen Qing hurriedly agreed. In fact, he doesn't know if there is a golden sore medicine. He just wants ordinary medicine. Naturally, there are them in the store. Ximenqing looked at the shopkeeper as he spoke. That means, get the medicine quickly.
"There are two kinds of golden sores here. One is suitable for minor injuries. If you cut your finger, you can use this. This medicine is cheap. How much do you want? The other medicine is suitable for larger and more wounds, which has a miraculous effect on serious injuries, but this medicine is expensive, and to tell you the truth, because ordinary people can't use this medicine, the government also has some Controlled." The shopkeeper is experienced and speaks slowly.
The man didn't say anything, but took out a piece of silver from his arms and patted it on the table. It depends on the size of the silver. When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he was naturally very happy and reached out to get the silver. Unexpectedly, when he didn't pick it up, his face was still full of surprise. After looking at it, Ximenqing was happy. He was far away from the money and inconvenient to pick it up. If the shopkeeper took it, it must be more than half of the embezzlement. Seeing that the shopkeeper couldn't afford it, he naturally took two steps and walked to the table and said, "Well, this money doesn't seem to be enough." Then he reached for the silver, but who knew that when he pulled it with his hand, the silver did not move. If you look carefully, it turns out that the silver has been embedded in the table.
There was a clerk next to him with quick hands and eyes. He picked up the knife to cut the medicine and gently pried it off the silver. This silver block looks like ten taels.
The man still didn't look up. When he spoke, he could only see his chin moving: "Is this money enough?"
This hand not only shows kung fu, but also shows wealth. Ximenqing naturally did not dare to neglect, and the shopkeeper had been a little scared for a long time. He quickly took some good gold sore medicine porcelain bottles and handed them to the bamboo man with both hands.
The man didn't take the medicine, so the porcelain bottle had to be put on the table.
"Is there any eclipse?" The bamboo hat said slowly.
Since the Douli man entered the door, Ximen Qing's heart has actually been hanging. If you say that there is no problem with such a person, no one will believe it. Ximenqing has been thinking about what this man wants to do. There seems to be no obvious trauma on his body. Of course, the wound may be in his clothes. But this man's movements are quick and powerful, and it doesn't make much difference if there are any big wounds on his body. When the man said that he wanted to buy ecze, Ximen Qing's heart was relieved. It doesn't seem to be from myself.
"Yes, but objectively, eclipse is very expensive, you know the reason. And there are rules for buying eczeal drugs. Ximenqing knew that he had it in his store, because he occasionally took out a little and mixed it with alcohol for some women, especially from the dock. He was afraid of other things, so he usually poured it down a little. A little weight can make the other party retain some intuition, but he is unable to resist. This state is Ximen Qing's favorite. Happy.
The man reached out and grabbed the bag and took out a few pieces of silver. At a glance, there could be more than 30 taels. This time, he did not slap into the table, but threw it on the table casually. Now, let's talk about the rules." The man of the hat speaks very little, probably because he can't say too much in his hoarse voice.
"Don't say I sold it to you." Ximen Qinghua also has very few words. He knew that he could not refuse the person in front of him for money or personal safety. What's more, I sold a copy to the official family less than two months ago, and now there is no trouble. It seems that the other party can still keep it a secret. Then again, those who buy ecze are all engaged in some secret things. No one will shout about where they bought ecze. Invisibly, they also provide themselves with *.
"Yes, I want ten people." The man still doesn't look up, and his words are still indifferent.
"Do you want to lose the ability to act or be completely unconscious?" Ximenqing calculated the amount of medicine.
"Completely unconscious." There is no change in the tone of the man.
Ximenqing's belief moved. It seemed that what the man was going to do was a big deal. At this time, Ximenqing had already retreated. After all, he turned ten people. Sir, you don't have enough money. The store does not sell ordinary sweat medicine. Your money is only enough to buy the weight of two people. Ximenqing thought that if there were 200 taels, it would be worth taking a risk, but looking at this man's burden, he can't hold so much silver. Buy less, the case is smaller, and your conscience will be over.
"Oh, that means several times more money." The man sighed, but his hand did not reach into the package but reached for the silver on the table.
Ximen Qing thought that the bamboo hat man didn't want to buy it. Although he didn't make money, it was also good to send away the plague god. But the man's hand did not grab the silver, but slowly scratched his fingers on the silver. Then he coughed. The cough didn't sound loud, but the pharmacy shook, and it seemed to be windy for a moment. Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment and suddenly found that the original large pieces of silver had been cut into many pieces. The slight vibration just now made these small pieces suddenly separated. The incision is more regular, but it is not like a knife and axe, but more like the claws of a beast! Ximen Qing felt as if he was dreaming.
"The silver is about five times more fragmented than just now. Have you seen enough?" Although the voice of the bamboo man is still a little hoarse, it is more like pretending, and somehow, it sounds a little weaker than just now, as if it were a woman!
"Enough." Ximenqing replied. If it's not enough, your head will be cut into several parts. Ximenqing had to make a secret wish, hoping that this person would be good at it and not be held if he had committed a big case.
The owner nodded, and the man was very fast. In a while, the medicine had been wrapped in a small bag.
"How to use it?" The words of the man have returned to their previous hoarseness and are no longer as weak as women.
"Mixed with wine can also be blown away."
"How to blow?"
"Hold your mouth and nose and hold your breath. Use a goose feather tube or reed tube to blow it in the upper wind.
"Is there any smell?"
"There is some fragrance, but when you notice the fragrance, it is impossible to save yourself, and you will faint in a moment."
