Sun Yaozu led the people to deliver the honeycomb coal to the Military and Horse Division for handover. The only people left were Pei Yun, Qin Qi'er, Aunt Zhao and Sun Youniang.
"Young Master still has a way, let's find a way." Aunt Zhao said.
"It's just good luck. Good things come to you on their own," Pei Yundao said.
"That's different. The other party is a soldier, and we don't have the guts to negotiate a deal with him."
As a commoner, I am fundamentally afraid of being a soldier.
This was the case for Sun Yaozu. As soon as he came into contact with Gong Zihong, he was afraid and thought that he would suffer a loss if he sold the tiger skin to him.
Even the village chief Sun Yaozu has such thoughts, let alone ordinary people.
The people's thinking is that if they can avoid dealing with soldiers, then they won't have to deal with them.
If you are afraid when you see it, of course you will not be able to treat it with a normal heart.
But Pei Yun was different. He had no sense of fear, which could be seen from the name he used when he spoke.
When others talk to Gong Zihong, they all talk about Bing Ye before him and after Bing Ye, but Pei Yun talks about you from beginning to end.
Pei Yun: "Why don't you have the guts? We are all human beings, and there is no distinction between high and low."
"This...that's what the young master can say." Aunt Zhao disagreed with this.
Pei Yun wanted to say something, but it turned into a sigh.
There is no distinction between high and low. I just said it out of my own feelings, but if I really think about it carefully, what I said is indeed a bit too naive.
As a modern person, there is nothing wrong in saying this, but in the present moment...
There is no distinction between high and low. This sentence is just a joke.
In ancient times, if you want to say that everyone is equal, this is just nonsense.
Pei Yun did not say what he said, because he knew that saying it would be useless and would not change anything.
Seeing Pei Yun hesitate to speak and sighing, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but ask: "Young master, do you really think there is no distinction between high and low?"
"In my place, yes, or do you think I have no distinction between high and low?"
When the words came out, there was a moment of silence.
Yes, around Pei Yun, people never feel any sense of superiority or inferiority.
It was only after he was told this that he reacted.
Just because Pei Yun has always been like this, people are used to it. When they are with Pei Yun, they automatically ignore the gap in status.
But if Pei Yun were replaced by someone else.
First of all, he is a man, and second, he is so capable.
This should be placed on others. As a woman, you should offer him to you, and you must be respectful to him.
But he is Pei Yun, he is no one else.
As he said, there is no distinction between high and low here.
This seems incredible to others.
But for Pei Yun, he can't change others, but he can be himself.
For Pei Yun, he did not feel that he was superior to others, nor did he feel that others were inferior.
In other words, you won’t feel that you are inferior to others or that others are superior.
There is no need to discuss this issue anymore.
Because Pei Yun didn't just talk, he really did it.
Pei Yun did not follow Sun Yaozu because he had something to do.
I said before that I want to make black powder.
If you want to make black powder, you cannot do without two materials, namely saltpeter and sulfur.
Saltpeter and sulfur are a type of medicinal materials.
Under Aunt Zhao's guidance, we headed to the largest medicinal store in Min County.
Pei Yun had five taels of silver on him, which was given to him by Sun Yaozu.
Originally, Sun Yaozu wanted to give more, but considering what Pei Yun had done, it was appropriate to take more money, and knowing that Pei Yun was taking the money to do business, Sun Yaozu had no scruples about Pei Yun.
Pei Yun did not take more. He did need money to buy saltpeter and sulfur, but he could not buy too much. Buying too much would make people suspicious.
We are just developing black powder first, and it has not yet reached mass production. The saltpeter and sulfur required are not too much, only five taels of silver are enough.
The name of the drugstore is Tongrentang, and the person who looks after the store is a drug boy.
Pei Yun took out the list he had prepared in advance. What he wanted to buy was saltpeter and sulfur, and in order to confuse the audience, he added a lot of medicinal herbs to it.
Just from the list, you can’t tell that it’s specifically for saltpeter and sulfur.
The medicine boy took a look and found that there were quite a few medicinal materials needed.
"What are you doing buying so many medicinal materials?"
When ordinary people take medicine, a doctor prescribes it and they take it according to the prescription.
But the medicinal materials Pei Yun asked for didn't have any prescription, so the medicine boy would ask this.
"It's for medical treatment. Take it back to the village and keep it for later use."
This is not a lie.
It is said that these medicinal materials are confusing, but these medicinal materials can also be used to treat diseases.
There are no doctors in Nanshan Village. If any villager gets sick, the medicinal materials bought can come in handy.
"Give it to the village? Is there a doctor in the village?" the medicine boy asked.
"There is no doctor in the village, but I know a little bit of medical skills and can make medicine myself." Pei Yundao said.
Medicine Boy: "Have you studied medicine? Who taught you."
Pei Yun: "No one taught me, I just read some medical books."
The medicine boy's face suddenly became serious: "You dare to take medicine by yourself just after reading medical books. You have to know that taking the wrong medicine can kill someone."
In the medicine boy's mind, Pei Yun became one of those quack doctors who harmed people.
I didn't expect the medicine boy to say this. His serious appearance made people ignore his young age.
At this time, an elderly man walked out of the inner room, dressed neatly.
He heard the noise outside and came out.
This man was the owner of the drugstore and said to the drug boy, "What's wrong?"
"Master, he wanted to buy medicinal materials, so I said a few words to him."
The drug boy handed the list to the pharmacy owner and then told him what happened.
The pharmacy owner didn't listen to what the medicine boy was saying. He only saw a lot of medicinal materials on the list.
"Who asked you to take care of so much, what others want to buy, and what you give to others, do you still want to let your money go without making any money? You are really a waste of money."
The drugstore owner scolded the drug boy, but the drug boy did not dare to refute. If he dared to refute, he would be betraying his master and rebelling against his disciples, which would be treason.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you go get some medicine?"
"Yes, master."
The medicine boy didn't dare to say anything more, and followed the pharmacy owner's instructions and grabbed the medicine for Pei Yun.
From this we can know that drugstore owners and drug boys are not the same type of people.
Pei Yun wanted to thank the drugstore owner for letting him buy the medicinal materials, but he also appreciated the seriousness of the drug boy.
Just when I bought the medicinal materials and was about to leave, another person walked out of the inner room of the pharmacy.
After the man came out, he said to the drugstore owner: "Please remember the great tonics that the great master wants. If you do, you will be rewarded with many rewards."
While talking, he touched his mustache and was about to walk out of the pharmacy, but stopped again because he saw an acquaintance.
