Qin Yunchuan seemed to be very familiar with Huayang City, taking Mu Jingyu back and forth in the city. After crossing several busy streets, we arrived in front of a drug store with the signboard of Baizhitang.
"Here we are, this is the room."
Qin Yunchuan walked into the drug store first, looked back and forth several times, and then called out to a handyman in the drug store, "Brother, do you dare to ask the shopkeeper here?"
The waiter first took a careful look at Qin Yunchuan, and then suddenly said, "It turns out to be Mr. Qin. I'm sorry that I was blind for not recognizing you! The person in charge also ordered me this morning that as soon as Mr. Qin arrives, he will be there immediately." Call him out."
Judging from this guy's attitude, it was obvious that he knew Qin Yunchuan. He quickly found two benches for them to sit on first, and after making a pot of good tea for them, he went back into the inner room and called the shopkeeper.
"Oh my, little friend Qin, I was still talking about you this morning. I thought today is the day for your party to go out for fun. I wonder if you will come. I didn't expect you to come so early."
An old man with white beard and hair walked out of the room with a big smile. After seeing Qin Yunchuan, he moved a chair and sat across from him enthusiastically. Judging from the familiarity between the two, they must have known each other for more than a day or two.
It turned out that Qin Yunchuan had been wandering around here for a long time before joining the Jiuhua Sect. They often pick some medicinal materials in the mountains and sell them to this Baizhitang in exchange for some silver to meet their daily needs.
After joining the Jiuhua Sect, I accidentally obtained the Ipponkihuang Technique and actually refined some ordinary elixirs on my own. Taking advantage of the Jiuhua faction's monthly outing, it was sold here. Therefore, I am an old acquaintance with the manager of this pharmacy.
Qin Yunchuan said, "Mr. Zhao, I kept sneezing early in the morning, thinking that someone must be missing me. I'll listen to what you say now, and it turned out that I was right."
Manager Zhao laughed and said, "You're the only one with a glib tongue. Tell me, what good medicinal materials did you bring me today?"
Qin Yunchuan approached mysteriously, took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Manager Zhao.
"Hey, hey, old man Zhao, if there is something good, wouldn't you know it by yourself?"
Shopkeeper Zhao curiously opened the cloth pocket, and the fragrance of the elixir came to his face. His expression was startled, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pick up one of the elixirs, placed it in his hand and carefully measured it for a moment, then took a breath and exclaimed, "Could this elixir be able to increase your strength?" First-grade elixir, Juli Pill?"
After seeing Qin Yunchuan nodding affirmatively, he quickly picked up four more pills and observed them one by one for a moment before looking at Qin Yunchuan in disbelief.
"Two Juli Pills, one Qi Powder, and one Light Body Pill. These are four first-grade pills! Little friend Qin, did you refine all of these?"
Although these are just ordinary first-grade elixirs, they can improve various attributes of oneself. Although it is not of much use to those who practice Taoism, it is of great benefit to ordinary people. No wonder Director Zhao was surprised.
Qin Yunchuan replied, "Of course it was refined by me, and it will be safe to keep. Mr. Zhao, look at how much silver these four pills can give me."
Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment before trying to say out loud, "These four pills are of great benefit to ordinary people. However, ordinary people cannot afford this price, and rich people cannot afford it." . How about I take it away for fifteen taels of silver. I wonder, little friend Qin, what do you think?"
Qin Yunchuan looked at his sincere face and snorted coldly in his heart. After secretly cursing the old fox, he said with a bit of embarrassment, "Mr. Zhao, if these pills were made by me alone, these fifteen Two taels of silver is quite a lot. However, it was thanks to my brother when we were collecting the herbs. Naturally, I couldn’t keep the money for myself, so I had to give half of it to him anyway. However, the money was not enough for us. Let’s split it between the two brothers. Why don’t we round up the whole number and give me twenty taels?”
Mu Jingyu felt a little amused as he watched the secret contest between the two of them winking. These twenty taels of silver were originally the reserve price in Qin Yunchuan's heart. Since Shopkeeper Zhao gave less, he was naturally unwilling. In the end, he actually used himself to bargain with him.
Shopkeeper Zhao thought for a moment, then showed a somewhat painful expression, and nodded in agreement.
Qin Yunchuan showed an expression that he had known he would be like this, and took out a piece of paper from his arms, with some items densely written on it, and handed it to shopkeeper Zhao.
"Old man, this time, I would like to ask you to prepare all the things written on this piece of paper for me. The remaining silver can be exchanged for us."
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at them after taking them and found that they were all tools needed for collecting herbs and refining elixirs. He immediately understood his intention. After nodding in agreement, he ordered the waiter standing by to prepare the goods according to the paper.
Not long after, the boy returned with a cloth bag and more than ten taels of silver.
After Qin Yunchuan checked the contents of the cloth bag, he divided the remaining silver into ten taels and placed it in Mu Jingyu's hands. After saying goodbye to shopkeeper Zhao, he walked out of the gate of Baizhitang.
Mu Jingyu has never seen so much money since he was a child. Seeing Qin Yunchuan stuffing it into his arms without hesitation, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After resisting several times, Qin Yunchuan still couldn't be screwed, so he had to accept it.
It was already ten minutes past noon, and the two of them were a little hungry. Qin Yunchuan pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "Jingyu, brother, I don't have much money left at this moment. How about you treat me to this big lunch at noon?"
After working on it for a long time, Qin Yunchuan gave him the money because of his feelings, just waiting for him to eat for free. Mu Jingyu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to follow Qin Yunchuan into the restaurant.
Although the food in Jiuhua Pai is quite rich, the taste is actually a bit bland. The two of them entered the restaurant and ordered four or five delicacies from the restaurant. After devouring for a while, he touched his bulging belly and walked out of it with satisfaction.
Mu Jingyu burped several times in succession, looked at the bustling town and said, "Brother Qin, it's still early, where should we go for fun?"
Qin Yunchuan said, "Why don't you go to the west of the city? There are more shops there, and more importantly, there are many rouge and gouache shops, as well as several places specializing in selling jewelry. If you don't give Zhou Yan and Su Yingying a choice, I'm afraid if you bring a few gadgets, you won't look good on us if you go back later."
After Qin Yunchuan reminded him, Mu Jingyu suddenly remembered this matter. Since someone brought me to Huayang City, I had to pick out a few pieces of jewelry to express my gratitude.
In the west of the city, there are indeed many shops. There is one street where all items used by women are sold. From clothing, skirts and hats to jewelry and hairpins, from rouge and gouache to all kinds of snacks, we have it all.
There are not only young women wandering here, but also many men walking around the streets, obviously choosing items for their loved ones.
Mu Jingyu stopped at the door of a cloth shop, looking at a snow-white dress inside, and suddenly he calmed down. A beautiful girl seemed to appear in front of him, dancing gracefully in front of him.
"Bi Yun, I don't know, how are you doing now?"
While Mu Jingyu was lost in thought, Qin Yunchuan was at a jewelry stall nearby, carefully selecting jewelry for Zhou Yan.
"Senior Sister Zhou said she likes red jewelry, but there are two pairs of earrings, which one should I choose? Jingyu, take a look, I'll choose the one as a gift to Senior Sister Zhou."
Qin Yunchuan held a pair of earrings in one hand and compared them several times, but still couldn't make up his mind. Just as he was about to ask Mu Jingyu for his opinion, he found him standing numbly at the door of the cloth shop.
"Ah? Ah, I think both are good. No matter which one you give, Senior Sister Zhou will like it." Mu Jingyu came back to his senses, walked to Qin Yunchuan, pointed to one of the pairs of earrings and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you just once today." After Qin Yunchuan paid the money, he put the pair of earrings in his arms. Then he said to Mu Jingyu, "Why, aren't you going to pick one to give to Su Yingying! You must know that those girls are the most difficult to deal with. Since we promised them, if we don't bring one back to give to them, He must be skinned and cramped.”
Looking at the colorful jewelry in front of him, Mu Jingyu was suddenly dazzled. However, after seeing one of the necklaces, he couldn't help but freeze his eyes.
This shop owner is a beautiful girl. Looking at Mu Jingyu's appearance, what doesn't make sense to her? He picked up the necklace with a smile and handed it to Mu Jingyu's hand.
"This young master has really good eyesight. The star-falling white crystals inlaid in this necklace are top-quality jewelry only found in Beiluo Xingzhou. At night, they can emit a little fluorescence, just like stars. Look at it. This string of star-falling white crystals is destined for the young master, so I will sell it half and give it away half for two taels of silver. No matter which girl you give it to, you will win her heart."
"Xingluo Baijing? What a good name! Jingyu, hurry up and buy this necklace as a gift to Su Yingying. You will definitely win her heart. When you have Yuntai Peak as your backer, and Guo Qingshan, the great disciple of Jiuhua, is here to support you, so don’t forget me, brother, in the future.”
Mu Jingyu ignored Qin Yunchuan's nonsense and just caressed the necklace in his hand, wishing he could put it on Bi Yun.
"Okay, don't hesitate anymore. Brother, I will make the decision for you today and buy this."
Qin Yunchuan didn't know that Mu Jingyu actually had other thoughts in mind, and thought he was reluctant to give up the money. She reached out and took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed them into the hands of the beautiful girl.
The shopkeeper took the money and immediately beamed. He hurriedly took out a brocade bag and put the necklace in it.
Mu Jingyu took the kit in a daze, and after looking at it carefully for a few times, he put it in his arms.
Qin Yunchuan saw that he was a little distracted and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, are you reluctant to give up the money? Or are you reluctant to give the necklace to Su Yingying! Do you still have someone else in your heart?"
Mu Jingyu immediately felt as if his tail had been stepped on, and hurriedly defended, "Brother Qin doesn't want to mess with things. I don't have another girl in my heart."
At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart and said in frustration, "How can I be worthy of a fairy-like woman like Bi Yun?"
While the two were chatting and laughing, they unconsciously walked dozens of feet away. I saw some jugglers on the streets on both sides from time to time, attracting everyone to stop and watch. The two of them were children, so naturally they were extremely interested in these things. They also squeezed into the crowd to watch, shouting out a few good words from time to time.
At this moment, another crisp sound of gongs was heard on the street not far away. The crowd that was originally watching around heard the sound of gongs, and they all gathered around not far away.
Although Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu didn't understand what happened there. However, he was still curious and followed the crowd.
I saw that many people had gathered in the wider area on the side of the street. A man in his thirties was beating the gong very fast with a broken gong. In the center of the open space, stood a little girl in tattered clothes, looking at the people surrounding her with a somewhat frightened expression.
When the man saw that the crowd was almost gathered, he put away his broken gong and stood next to the little girl.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Dear fellow villagers in Huayang City, the villain Li Er is passing through Guibao Land, and he also has a few helpless female dolls with him. Just because their parents are unable to raise them, they specially entrusted me to provide them for them. They found a good family. Today I arrived in Huayang City and saw that every household was quite wealthy, so I wanted to fulfill their parents' entrustment and find a good family for them in this city. Now, the remaining four All the girls have found their homes in other places in the city. Only this girl has not yet been found, which is why everyone came to watch. If anyone likes this girl, he intends to take her home to raise her. Also Please give me a few taels of silver for Li Er, so that I can take it back and give it to her parents."
