"Don't talk nonsense, this is my own property. Uncle blacksmith, if I deposit this dagger with you, how much money can I borrow?"
The blacksmith frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Why do you want money? Does your mother know about this?"
Li Jie said bluntly: "Of course she knows, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come. Oh, don't ask so many questions. Just be happy. How much can you borrow? I promise to pay you back in half a month. If you don't pay, I will pay you back."
, I don’t want this dagger anymore.”
The blacksmith stared at Li Jie intently. It didn't look like this boy was lying. In his impression, although little Yang Guo was naughty, he rarely lied. Moreover, this dagger was definitely considered a valuable item. This boy must have
I don't dare to cheat on this matter and trick him.
'Since he doesn't want to talk, forget it. I'll go find out later.'
"You wait."
After saying this, the blacksmith turned and walked towards the bedroom. After a while, he returned to the living room, took out a piece of white silver from his arms and placed it on the table. Also placed on the table was the dagger.
.
"You can take the money, I'll lend it to you, and you can take the dagger back as well. I'm not a pawn shop here!"
Li Jie picked up the silver on the table and put it into his arms, but did not take the dagger. He shook his head slightly at the blacksmith.
"Uncle, I will keep the dagger with you temporarily, and you will give it to me when I pay back the money."
At this time, the table was already littered with cups and plates. While the blacksmith was getting money, Li Jie ate a lot of food like a storm. Seeing that it was getting late, it would take at least an hour to get there from Niujia Village. It was snowing outside.
He was in a hurry and the road was even more difficult, so he didn't want to waste any time.
In addition to grabbing medicine when he went to town this time, Li Jie also planned to investigate the current prices and find ways to make money. Although it was not that he couldn't live a hard life, why should he have to live a hard life if he could live a good life?
Li Jie wiped his mouth, patted his chest and said, "Uncle, thank you for the hospitality. I'm leaving. Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."
Seeing Li Jie acting like a young man, the blacksmith smiled and shook his head. It was only five taels of silver, and he was not short of it. However, he didn't say anything about not paying it back. He had seen too many examples of grudges over rice.
, sometimes it is also a mistake to help others too much.
"This kid always eats like this."
It wasn't until he finished cleaning up the messy table that he picked up the dagger and started playing with it again.
"Huh?"
Just now, most of his attention was focused on the dagger blade, and he only glanced at the handle.
"Yang...Kang?"
"This name seems familiar?"
'By the way, he seems to be Guo Jing's sworn brother, the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin?'
'I don't know if this Yang Kang is that Yang Kang?'
"Haha, the Kingdom of Jin? The Kingdom of Jin? Where is the Kingdom of Jin now? The palaces and palaces thousands of miles away have been turned into soil. When it flourishes, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer."
"Jingkang, Jingkang, haha, this name is really interesting. The person who chose this name must be a righteous man. Now Song Ting has avenged Jingkang's shame."
"Haha, but did you know that this is a tactic to drive away tigers and devour wolves? Are the Mongols so easy to deal with?"
"well!"
"That's all (three sounds), that's all, what does this have to do with me, a shabby blacksmith?"
Thinking of this, the blacksmith couldn't help but sigh, and then he seemed to remember something, packed up a little, and went out.
An hour later, Li Jie finally arrived at Furong Town. Furong Town is adjacent to the official road and built on the water. Water and land transportation are very convenient. A hundred miles further is Lin'an Prefecture. Passing ships, tourists, traveling merchants, and scholars,
Most of the martial arts people will stay for a while or two again. Even on this snowy day, the streets are still bustling with people.
"Baozi! Freshly baked buns! Thin skin and big filling! Five cents for two!"
…………
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…………
"Pancakes! Warm, crispy pancakes!"
…………
Moo! Moo!
…………
"Tang Dui'er (candied haws of sugar)! Tang Dui'er!"
…………
"Make way! Make way!"
…………
"Sugar Man! Sugar Man!"
…………
The streets were bustling with traffic, with horses neighing, cows braying, drivers shouting, and street vendors shouting together into a torrent, adding a bit of fireworks.
The first thing Li Jie has to do is to buy medicine. Everything else can wait, but this matter cannot wait. If Mu Nianci cannot get effective treatment, even if he is cured in the future, the root cause of the disease may still be left.
Following the guidance of the roadside hawker, Li Jie successfully found the only pharmacy in the town - Liangji Pharmacy.
The front hall of the store covers an area of about a hundred square meters. There is a doctor sitting on the southeast side, and people in twos and threes are queuing up for consultation. Li Jie has a prescription that does not require consultation, so he goes directly to the counter to prepare it.
Take medicine.
"Brother, I'm unfamiliar with you. Do you want to see a doctor? Or take medicine? If you want to see a doctor, please go over there and line up."
"Get the medicine."
"Brother, let me remind you that the medicine contains three parts of the poison. Don't take the medicine indiscriminately. I suggest you go over there first and ask the doctor to read the prescription. The doctor in our store is a famous apricot forest expert within a hundred miles.
It only costs a few hundred yuan to get a prescription."
Li Jie smiled and shook his head: "No, let's just get the medicine."
The apprentice in the closet nodded slightly. What he just said was just smooth. Since the other party insisted on taking the medicine, he would not persuade him, so he stretched out his hand and said.
"Where's the recipe?"
The prescriptions were all in Li Jie's head, and there was no pen or paper at home, so where could the paper prescriptions come from?
"Can I report it to you?"
The young apprentice nodded: "Of course."
"Three liang each of Adenophora and Polygonatum odorifera, raw licorice, winter mulberry leaves, Ophiopogon japonicus, raw lentils, and two liang each of pollen."
While listening, the young apprentice recited silently in his mind that these medicines were ordinary things, and there were no precious medicinal materials. They were all available in the store, but this was the first time he had heard of this prescription.
"Three liang each of Adenophora japonicus and Polygonatum odorifera, raw licorice, winter mulberry leaves, Ophiopogon japonicus, raw lentils, and two liang each of pollen? That's right?"
Li Jie nodded, and the young apprentice silently calculated the price in his mind.
"Chenghui, two thousand three hundred and fifteen cents, our store does not charge a fee."
‘If you don’t want to accept it? Have the people started to spontaneously boycott it?’
While Li Jie was thinking about it, he took out the ingot of silver he borrowed from his pocket. Half of the money was spent before it was warmed up.
The young apprentice could tell at a glance that what Li Jie was holding was five taels of silver, and the smile on his face became a little brighter. Silver is hard currency, and a thousand penny can't be exchanged for one tael of silver, but the price is calculated here.
One thousand Wen is equivalent to one tael of silver.
"For change, do you want silver or copper coins?"
How could Li Jie not know the trick in this? He glanced sideways at him and said calmly: "Silver."
Seeing that his little idea was revealed, the young apprentice smiled awkwardly, but he didn't blush at all and said as usual.
"Okay, little brother, please wait a moment. Some of the medicinal herbs are in the backyard. I will get them for you right now."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked to the backyard. In fact, the medicinal herbs Li Jie wanted were all here, so there was no need to go to the backyard to get them. The reason why he made an excuse to go to the backyard was entirely because he was the first to use the prescription Li Jie said.
Once I heard, their proprietor might be interested?
