Chapter 15 Youth

When Er Gouzi returned to the temporary station, Laifu and the others had already returned. When they saw him acting alone, they naturally had to tease him.

Everyone mistakenly thought that he was thin-skinned and was too embarrassed to go with him. In the end, he secretly went to the secret door to play alone.

There was no way to explain this in detail, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

Er Gouzi sat next to Huang Laocai and thought about it for a long time before speaking.

"Boss, do you want to sell the land on Shekou Mountain?"

"What? You want to buy it? The mountains are full of rocks and there is no water. Why do you want to buy it?"

Huang Laocai looked at Er Gouzi puzzledly.

This kid couldn't even afford to eat a few months ago, and his buttocks were still exposed in the pants he wore. Now he has the idea of ​​buying land.

"My boss, that land is full of rocks anyway, and it's not a good farm. Why don't you sell it to me?"

"No, no! No matter how bad the land is, it is still an heirloom for future generations."

Huang Laocai waved his hand and firmly refused, leaving no room for negotiation.

Er Gouzi was rejected and felt a little disappointed, but he couldn't blame Huang Laocai.

If I had a piece of land, I wouldn't sell it casually as long as I didn't starve to death.

Ergouzi became more and more hesitant. He didn't know where to find a place to establish himself.

Even though many places are deserted, they actually have owners.

It's okay to leave it there to grow wild and grassy, ​​but if anyone goes to cultivate it without authorization, the owner will appear immediately.

I can't even find a piece of land that belongs to me. I have a treasure gourd, but I can't use it.

From the current point of view, the only way is to train with the master and then pass the Wuxiucai exam. Maybe there will be a turn for the better in the future.

At dawn the next day, Huang Laocai asked everyone to push carts to the county government office.

When they pushed the wheelbarrow and arrived at a side door outside the county government office, the county government office had not yet opened, and the masters in the government office had not gotten up yet.

At this time, the door was already crowded with people paying taxes.

Everyone was noisy, everyone wanted to squeeze in front and occupy a better position.

In previous years, people were squeezed until their bones were broken, and even to death.

"Why squeeze!"

"Everyone lines up for me."

At this time, a government servant finally appeared, carrying a sword at his waist and a whip in his hand, beating those tenants who did not line up honestly.

Huang Laocai and his group could only wait in line at the back of the queue.

They waited in line for more than half an hour. The gate of the Yamen finally opened, and the team in front slowly moved forward.

After waiting in line for another three hours, Huang Laocai and his group finally lined up at the door. Laifu picked up a bag of rice and was about to rush through the door.

"Bang!"

A kick flew towards him, and he kicked Laifu out of the door, causing him to fall on all fours.

"That's it for today, come back tomorrow!"

Then there was a "bang" sound, and the side door slammed shut again.

Laifu got up from the ground, rubbed his sore buttocks and grinned, but he dared not speak in anger.

Look at the sky, the sun is still very high, at least there is still some time to hoe the ground before it gets dark.

There is no other way, the officials have rules and they can only abide by them.

After finally getting to the position, we could only stay at the door and rest for the night.

Ergouzi was quite happy about this and took this opportunity to spend one more day in the county.

He still refused to give up and wanted to sell Dali Pill again.

After saying hello to Huang Laocai, he left alone.

The street where Hong'antang is located is not far from the county government office and is considered the most prosperous area in the county.

And there are three drug stores on this street.

There is a drug store at the end of the street called Huichun Tang, which is the smallest and sparsely populated.

In broad daylight, a young man was sleeping on the desk.

Ergouzi walked into the pharmacy and coughed twice before waking up the young man.

The young man rubbed his eyes, "Do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine?"

"Are you the doctor here?"

Er Gouzi looked at the young man in front of him. He had fair skin and was a few years older than himself. He didn't look like a doctor.

No wonder business is poor. Who dares to let a hairless boy treat him?

"Yes! I am the doctor at Huichun Hall. Although I am young, I was literate at the age of three, studied medicine at the age of five, studied medicine at the age of seven, learned pulse art at the age of nine, and read the medical classics at the age of eighteen..."

The doctor probably knew that he was too young, so he tried to explain that he could actually treat patients.

"Can you please look at this for me?"

Ergouzi changed his strategy this time. Instead of talking about selling pills, he handed a powerful pill into the hands of the young man.

The young man took the pill and squinted his eyes to examine it carefully.

Probably in order to prove his professional level, the young man looked at it for a long time and looked at it very carefully.

Later, I scraped a little powder from the pill and tried licking it with my tongue.

I squinted my eyes to taste it carefully. First my brows were furrowed, and then my brows relaxed and my eyes shone brightly. I was overjoyed.

"This product is sweet in taste and warm in nature. It can replenish qi and spleen, replenish qi, and strengthen the body... It can be classified as a top-quality product."

In order to show that he was professional, the young man talked a lot, but Ergouzi couldn't understand it, so he just cooked it casually.

"I have some pills like this in my hand and want to sell them to you. I wonder if you will accept them?"

Ergouzi took out another handful of pills, placed them on the counter, and asked cautiously.

"receive!"

"Of course I'll take it, as much as you want!"

Unexpectedly, the young man's answer was extremely bold and straightforward.

Ergouzi was overjoyed and quickly took off the heavy burden on his back.

He made a dou of powerful pills, but the bundle could only hold five or six liters, and the rest were in the gourd, which was not convenient to take out.

He untied the linen bundle, revealing hundreds of pills inside.

Er Gouzi casually took one from it and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

"Try one, the more you chew, the more delicious it is."

The young man didn't hesitate to be polite with him, and took one and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Sure enough, the more you chewed, the more delicious it was, and this taste reminded him of a rare spiritual object he had eaten before.

"It's really good, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Er Gouzi was thinking about the price in his mind. He used to think of selling it for 10 cents a pill, which was indeed a bit wishful thinking.

After hitting a wall one after another, his ideas became much more realistic.

The price of one liter of grain is twenty or thirty cents, and one liter can make about fifty pills.

Even if he sells it for one cent a pill, he will make a profit. Now that it is sold as a medicinal material, it must be sold for at least two cents a pill.

Thinking of this, he has already stretched out two fingers.

However, seeing the young man's urgent need, he felt that he could sell it at a higher price.

So he carefully extended his third finger.

Three cents a pill, about 150 cents a liter, is definitely a huge profit. Er Gouzi was a little nervous, afraid that the young man would scold him for being too greedy and directly refused.

"Okay! No problem!"

Unexpectedly, the young man saw Er Gouzi's three fingers and agreed without any hesitation.

Er Gouzi felt a little regretful for no reason. He should have asked for four cents to try.

However, people should not be too greedy and take things slow.

The young man opened his bag and the two counted the number of pills together. It took them most of the day to count.

"A total of 285 pills, 30 cents a pill..."

As the young man said, his fingers clattered on the beads to calculate the total price.

"3... 30 cents a pill?"

Er Gouzi was a little suspicious, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and he offered three cents.

His heart was beating wildly at this moment, and he clenched his fingers together, secretly calculating how much money this would cost?

He dared not even think of such a high price, as he still had more than 100 dan of grain in his gourd.

With this conversion, he might surpass Huang Laocai in the future and become the richest man in Shexi Village.

"Ah? Didn't you say 30 wen per pill?"

The young man stopped fiddling with the abacus beads, looking a little embarrassed.

"300 wen per pill is too expensive. Although your pills are good, they are not worth the price."

He thought Er Gouzi wanted to sell it for 300 wen per pill, and he regretted that he had not asked clearly and agreed too much.

"Now the most expensive Pei Yuan Gu Ben Pill in Anchang County is sold for 10,000 wen. Although your pills are good, they are still far inferior to Pei Yuan Gu Ben Pills."

"I can only give you 50 wen per pill at most, is that okay?"

Er Gouzi was still surprised by the high price of 30 wen, but he did not expect that the young man had taken the initiative to raise the price to 50 wen.

"Yes! Sure!"

"Okay, let's calculate it at 50 coins."

Then the sound of abacus beads rang out again.

"A total of 285 grains, 50 coins each, a total of 14,250 coins."

After the young man calculated the bill, he weighed out 14 taels of silver and 250 copper coins with a scale and handed them to Er Gouzi.

He took the silver, wrapped it carefully in a bundle, tied several knots, and then put it in his arms.

After walking a long way out of Huichun Hall, Er Gouzi was still a little confused. He was confused by this sudden wealth.

He kept calculating in his head how much the remaining grain in the gourd could be sold for.

How much money could he make every year in the future?

If all the wasteland in Shekou Mountain was reclaimed, how much could he make?

Thinking of this, he was full of expectations for buying Shekou Mountain.

If he could marry the second daughter of Huang Laocai, he might be able to buy a house in Shekou Mountain for the sake of his daughter.

But she is a village beauty and the daughter of the richest man. He is a small tenant who cannot afford her. He can only dream about it.

Now he should work hard to farm and save money, and learn martial arts.
