"Don't be blind, this is my own thing. 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 does your son need 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. Come on, how much can you borrow? I promise to pay you back in half a month. If you don't still, Come on, I don’t want this dagger anymore.”
The blacksmith stared at Li Jie intently. It didn't look like he was lying. In his impression, although Yang Guo was naughty, he rarely lied. Moreover, this dagger was definitely considered a valuable item. He must not have lied. Dare to play tricks on this matter and deceive him.
'Since he doesn't want to, forget it. I'll ask about it 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. You can 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. He saw that it was getting late. It took only an hour to get there from Niujia Village. There was a strong wind and snow outside. , the road was even more difficult, and 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."
When the blacksmith saw Li Jie acting like an adult, he smiled and shook his head. It was only five taels of silver, and he was not short of it, but he had nothing to pay back. He had seen too many examples of grudges over rice and enemies 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 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 for thousands of miles 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 took this name must be a righteous man. Now Song Ting has avenged Jingkang's shame."
"Haha, but don't 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 sighing. 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, where passing ships, tourists, traveling merchants, scholars, Most martial arts people will stay for a while or two again. Even on this snowy day, the streets are still full of people.
"Baozi! Freshly baked buns! Thin skin and big filling! Two for five cents!"
…………
Whoops! hiss! Whoops!
…………
"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, and the sounds of horses neighing, the shouts of cattle drivers, and the cries of street vendors all converged into a torrent, adding a bit of fireworks.
The first thing Li Jie had to do was to buy medicine. Everything else could wait, but this matter could not wait. If Mu Nianci could not get effective treatment, even if he was cured in the future, the root cause of the disease might remain.
Following the guidance of the roadside vendor, Li Jie successfully found the only drugstore in town - Liangji Drugstore.
The front hall of the store covers an area of about a hundred square meters. On the southeast side, there is a doctor sitting in the hall. 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. Are you seeing a doctor? Or taking 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 is 30% poisonous. Don't take the medicine randomly. I suggest you go over there first and let the doctor read the prescription. The doctor in our store is a famous apricot forest expert within a hundred miles. Just look at it. The prescription doesn’t cost a few bucks, it only costs a hundred cents.”
Li Jie smiled and shook his head: "No, let's just get the medicine."
The apprentice in the closet nodded slightly. He was just speaking smoothly. 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 prescription?"
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 odorata, two liang each of raw licorice, winter mulberry leaves, Ophiopogon japonicus, raw lentils, and pollen."
The young apprentice recited silently in his mind while listening. These medicines were all 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 medicine.
"Three liang each of Adenophora japonicus and Polygonatum odorata, two liang each of raw licorice, winter mulberry leaves, Ophiopogon japonicus, raw lentils, and 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 yuan, our store will not accept payment."
'Don't accept the meeting? Have people started to spontaneously resist? '
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 cents cannot be exchanged for one tael of silver, but the price calculation here is very difficult. One thousand Wen is equivalent to one tael of silver.
"Change, do you want silver or copper coins?"
How could Li Jie not know the fishiness involved? He glanced sideways at him and said calmly: "Silver."
Seeing that his thoughts were revealed, the young apprentice smiled awkwardly, but he didn't blush at all and said as usual.
"Okay, brother, please wait a moment. Some of the herbs are in the backyard. I'll get them for you right away."
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 you hear it, their proprietor might be interested?
