Chapter Thirty Two
It’s nice to have money.
Dahu and Leng Rui no longer picked at Sosou's window paper. Before the money could be delivered, the glass Zhang had already delivered the glass. Except for three or five times, it was installed in just a few seconds.
"The price will be the usual price, just let's make friends." Guizhang said cheerfully.
Dahu's joy is broken. The most stressful thing in Wangjing City now is glass. If you have money, you can't buy it. The price has increased tenfold and there is still no stock.
This piece of glass is enough to make a friend, and I, Dahu, have made this friend.
Leng Rui was not as happy as Dahu, instead he was worried.
Even if you have money in your hands, you can't just sit back and have nothing. You must have a way to get the money.
There is another thing that is even more worrying. Tong Sin Tong seems to be very lively now, but in fact it is full of crises.
Will Moonlight Garden give up? What will happen when Yunhuo and Hongyun come back? What if someone with ulterior motives comes to make trouble again?
You must become stronger quickly. Don't expect to defeat anyone. At the very least, you must protect yourself.
You need to find someone to heal your own injuries and Erniu’s injuries. This is also a top priority!
Think about the situation that you, Dahu and Erniu are in. You have to maintain your livelihood for the time being and refine elixirs, otherwise you won't even have any income.
Although Tong Sin Tong's reputation has been ruined by himself, after all, the reputation of many years is still there. As long as it carefully refines several furnaces of elixirs, the quality will improve, and sales will be good.
I have a theory of chemistry, and I can rely on this alchemy. According to the guidelines for cultivating immortals, alchemy is definitely a good thing with huge profits.
Leng Rui also had a headache as to what kind of elixir to make. Several of Tongshan Hall's top products used some Taoist techniques. Both he and Dahu knew how to make them but couldn't.
It seems that I can only rely on my own knowledge of chemistry. Originally, the development of chemistry on earth began with alchemy. Now it is just returning to its original appearance.
After thinking for a long time, Leng Rui decided to refine Wujin Pills. This medicine basically does not require Taoism, it is similar to the Dali Pills on earth, but its efficacy is much better.
The earth lacks things containing mysterious factors like water-polymer, and the efficacy of refining medicines is naturally greatly reduced. This was also a helpless move that later led to the earth's technological civilization.
Three days later, the door was repaired, but half of the money in hand was gone.
Even if Glass Zhang gave me the best price, it would cost almost two thousand taels of silver. There is no way, this is the price in this world of cultivation.
Wujin Pills require several medicinal materials such as shuipojin, ginseng fruit, ground bone flower, and Tianxiangzi.
Both Shuibojin and Ginseng Fruit were taken away by Yunhuo, and other stores had more or less stocks.
As for the recipe, although Yun Huo didn't keep it, Leng Rui had secretly written it down and remembered it long ago.
After discussing it with Dahu, Dahu also actively agreed. Now he really admires this junior brother.
Besides, the purpose of coming to Tongshan Hall as an apprentice was also to learn alchemy. Now that he can continue to do so, he feels extremely happy.
Erniu was worried about being left alone in the store, fearing that something might happen to him.
Dahu and Leng Rui took Erniu to the medicinal material store to purchase several raw materials for refining Wujin Pills.
If you have money, it will be easy to do things, and the purchases will be completed quickly.
Just as he was about to walk back, Leng Rui said to Dahu with a smile: "Elder brother, let's go to the lumber store?"
"Wood store? You want to buy wood?" Dahu was a little surprised.
"Well! Let's see if there is any green gold wood for sale." Leng Rui said.
"Why did you buy that thing? It's so heavy that you can't even carry it on your back." Dahu was reluctant.
"Buy it first, and I'll tell you what it's for when I get back." Leng Rui smiled and let it slip.
"Okay! I believe you!" Dahu knew that this junior brother would not mess around.
I found the most famous wood shop called "Yanji Old Shop".
As soon as you enter the store, the first thing you feel is the aroma of wood. The huge store has a lot of wood neatly stacked, including yellow, red, white, black and gray in various colors. Boards, square lumber,
The logs are also of complete specifications.
The waiter was very enthusiastic and greeted the two of them as soon as he saw them: "You two gentlemen, what do you need?"
"Is there green gold wood?" Dahu asked.
"Show us!" Dahu still had some momentum, like a boss.
"Yes, yes! There are not many sellers of this kind of green gold wood in the entire Wangjing area. We have the most complete specifications here." Hearing that he wanted to buy green gold wood, the man got excited. This is a big deal.
"Take us to see it!" Dahu looked old-fashioned.
Without saying anything, the boy quickly led the two of them to the innermost place, pointed at a pile of gray-black wood and said:
"Young masters, all the goods are here, pick whatever you want!"
Leng Rui stepped forward and took a look. There were plates and square materials, long and short, thick and thin, all placed neatly.
Taking a closer look, the surface was smooth and smooth, and the cuts were neat. Leng Rui was a little confused, how did they process such hard wood?
I wanted to ask, but I was afraid that others would suspect me, so I held back my voice.
"What's the price?" Dahu pretended to look forward and asked.
"The prices are different. The bigger ones are more expensive. A square piece like this costs one tael of silver per catty. This shorter one costs one tael of silver per catty."
The guy introduced with a smile.
Leng Rui and Dahu took a breath of cold air. This thing was like an iron lump. It was sold by the pound. This was not a scam.
Dahu looked at Leng Rui and didn't dare to say anything.
Leng Rui pointed to a piece of wood and asked, "How much does this one cost?"
It was a piece of wood as thick as an arm and three feet long.
The waiter lifted one end of the piece of wood, weighed it, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid it will cost dozens of taels of silver?"
Leng Rui now knows how to count. Yunhuo and Hongyun have made a lot of money over the years. A bucket is worth one or two hundred taels of silver. They are rich!
Leng Rui didn't plan to buy any wood. It was so hard that he couldn't use it at all.
He listened to Dahu's words and said that the green gold wood is the best shipbuilding material. An idea flashed in his mind. Since it can be used for building ships, there must be a way to saw it. Since it needs to be sawed, there must be sawdust.
Bar!
He didn't know where the shipyard was, but he thought about it, there was a lumber store in the city! Go there and try your luck.
"Little brother! Let me ask you something!" Leng Rui said sweetly to the waiter with a flattering smile on his face.
"Ask!" The guy almost got goosebumps, but he was still very happy. This kid was very polite.
"Where are the sawdust piles for the lapis lazuli wood in your store?" Leng Rui tried his best to pretend not to care.
"Sawdust? You want that?" the man asked.
"Yeah! Take it back and light the fire." Leng Rui responded smoothly.
When the clerk heard this, he realized that he was buying sawdust instead of lapis lazuli. It was really unlucky to meet two rag collectors early in the morning.
There was no business to be done, so his face immediately dropped, and his voice became impatient.
"No! Go to someone else's house and ask!"
Leng Rui was not angry after hearing this. He had expected this result. There are many of them on the earth.
"Brother, we are not here to cause trouble. You have some in your store. We can buy them with money." Leng Rui still kept smiling.
"Go! Go! Go! No!" The waiter's voice was much louder and he made a gesture to ask him to leave.
Dahu's expression changed and he was about to get angry. Leng Rui quickly pulled his sleeve.
Dahu snorted and said no more.
"Xiaowu! What's going on? Such a loud voice?" came a soft female voice, and then a fragrant breeze floated by, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with a beautiful face in a white dress came over.
"Shopkeeper, two rag collectors are here to cause trouble," the waiter said quickly.
When Leng Rui heard that it belonged to the shopkeeper, he quickly stepped forward, bowed and said politely: "Shopkeeper, we are from Tong Sin Tong and we are not here to cause trouble. We just want to buy some scraps from your place."
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Leng Rui. She had red lips and white teeth and was very articulate, which was quite rare for her.
"Tongshan Hall?" The beautiful middle-aged woman frowned and looked at Leng Rui with some confusion.
"Yes, from Tong Sin Tong." Leng Rui replied.
"Did you have a fight with Yueguang Yuan?" the middle-aged beautiful woman asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Leng Rui replied honestly.
"Yun Huo, that old cow nose, actually left some protective gear for you, how rare!" The beautiful middle-aged woman said with mockery in her tone.
"Haha!" Leng Rui smiled, noncommittal.
"Do you know how difficult it is to work with this lapis lazuli wood?" the beautiful middle-aged woman asked.
