Chapter 11 third quarter
Packages exuding strong chrysanthemum fragrance were piled up on four ordinary wooden carts, and they were pulled by mules to the pharmacy in the middle of Shannan Street.
The four men driving the donkey unloaded the goods from the cart and moved them into the warehouse of the pharmacy without saying a word.Passers-by passed by on the street in the afternoon, and no one paid attention to this ordinary thing.
But at the dark corner across the street, Long Bai and Di Bin kept watching the unloading progress.Excitement flashed in Long Bai's eyes.The two looked at each other and smiled.
The pile of gold and silver fragments on the table is dazzling.Yu Runsheng stared coldly, stretched out his hand to push and push among the piles of gold and silver, making a heavy knocking sound. Long Bai couldn't hold back any longer, he also stretched out his hand to grab a handful of silver, put it in front of his nose and sniffed the faint fishy smell unique to metal. "We're getting rich!" Long Bai shouted. "I'm afraid there are at least four or five thousand taels of silver here?" "It's six thousand three hundred and ninety taels." Qi Chu said with a smile. "It's all ours." His voice trembled slightly, but it wasn't because he saw so much gold and silver.He had seen it before at home. Only this time it's different.He knew that with silver, he could realize the wish he had been thinking for a long time... "And the batch of medicinal materials that came to the city by the way." Yu Runsheng stroked his chin. "At least I can earn five hundred taels more." "It's a pity that the third brother is still in Jiwei." Di Bin said. "The cloth bag wrapped with money just now, it would be really interesting if he cut it open with his 'killing grass'..." He suddenly found that the sickle standing at the corner was still silent up to now. Di Bin's eyes found Sickle's eyes staring blankly at Jinyin. "Fifth brother... what are you thinking..." Di Bin whispered. It's as if the sickle head has never been heard.In fact, his heart was beating too.It's just that he can't figure out why these metals have such great power.That kind of brilliance reminded him of the scene of "fighting" in the prison: the people around were exchanging these things in a hurry... those pairs of hungry eyes... Of course, he didn't simply think that gold and silver were just metals.He knows they can be exchanged for many things.What he didn't understand was that people reacted so directly to money.It's like a natural instinct.Just like a man gets an erection when he sees a naked woman.It seems that what we really need is not something that money can exchange for, but the metal itself that cannot be eaten... The only sound left in the warehouse was Long Bai's enchanted voice: "Let's continue to work, and we will earn ten times, a hundred times more... and earn the entire Piaocheng..." Today they finally truly belong to the city. Because they finally have money.
Qi Chu climbed up the stone steps of the basement, looking for the source of the strange noise above. The inner hall of the stone house was dark.Dinner has been eaten, except for a few subordinates guarding the gate in the outer hall, everyone else has fallen asleep. Qi Chu heard whispers.He recognized Wu Chaoyi, one of his subordinates.He used to be a siege soldier of the "Suppressing Chaos Army" and fought several hellish city offensive and defensive battles.Yu Runsheng chose to join because he had been trained to climb the city wall and was very agile. "...But...Yu Ye gave an order before going out...not..." "Didn't he go to his sister-in-law to have fun?" Long Bai interrupted him. "Damn it, it's hard to get money. After so long, can you hold it back?" "But……" "What are you afraid of? Damn you, you're so timid, you're still on the road? Let's sneak out for a while, who knows? How can it be so easy to make trouble?" "Well... Seriously, Second Master, I have some money in my pocket, and my heart is itching... I won't be able to sleep tonight... Okay, let's go together, but—" "Second brother, take me too." Qi Chu hurriedly climbed out and said. "Hush—" Long Bai was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to press Qi Chu's mouth. "Don't let Baidou hear it. That kid is determined, he will definitely hold us back and refuse to let go." Qi Chu pushed Long Bai's palm away. "How is it? Will you take me there?" Wu Chaoyi looked at Long Bai.Long Bai nodded.
"You're awesome!" Father Li looked at the cloth and bags of gifts piled up in the corner of the farmhouse, and at the five subordinates brought by Yu Runsheng. "Xiao Xiao, you really have a few tricks, and you will become rich in a few months!" Yu Runsheng smiled and took a sip of homemade rice wine.Li Lan walked over from the stove and cleaned up the leftovers on the table.Yu Runsheng looked at her.When she saw it, she hurriedly lowered her head and walked away holding the bowl and bowl. "Father, I was taken care of by you in the past. How is the field recently?" "Thanks to you renting my warehouse, I can hire a few people to help. Alas, I am old, not in good health, and Xiaolan is a girl... It is not easy to hire someone these days, and the boys are all running to the city No wonder, it depends on you..." "Father, I'm here to discuss business with you." Yu Runsheng drank the wine in his glass. "I want to buy your manor and expand my business. You can ask about the price." "Really?" Father Li's eyes lit up. "You old man should enjoy the blessings too. One more thing." Yu Runsheng looked at the stove.Li Lan is no longer here. "I want to propose marriage to Xiaolan... I don't think she is suitable for life in the city, it's better to live here." "Okay!" Father Li patted his thigh: "Great! We'll talk about the business later, and we're finalizing your marriage with Xiaolan!" Li Lan, who was hiding in the room, cried with joy.She knew her fate would change forever. ——It's just that she didn't know that this change would be so drastic.This year Li Lan was nineteen years old.She knew very little, except that she loved Yu Runsheng deeply - enough to forgive him for all his mistakes.In the next thirty years of her life, the sorrow that this kind of tolerance can carry reached its limit step by step.
