In the past two days, they also learned something about the situation.
Ancheng is really chaotic. When you go to the streets, fights, robberies and robberies can be seen everywhere. Whoever has more power listens to whoever.
Only the rich and powerful can be safe, while the poor can only endure silently, trying to survive without daring to leave Ancheng. The world outside is even more dangerous.
The killings and bloodshed in the wasteland are everywhere, but with the protection of the city, you can still find a place to stay.
Ancheng's resources are controlled by the city lord's palace and various aristocratic families. If you want to settle in Ancheng, joining one of them is the best choice. It is too easy to lose your life if you fight alone.
In the evening, everyone gathered together and ate the food cooked by Gao Qiang.
When arriving in Anseong, the happiest thing is that there are abundant foods and more condiments. The most popular ones are Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, which can be found here.
Without Lin Yan's reminder, Gao Qiang had already collected pepper and chili seeds and was just waiting to take them back.
Lan Xing was sweating profusely after eating, "This bowl of fish fillets is numb and spicy, so refreshing. It would be even more enjoyable if I could have one every day during the cold season."
Lan Shu: "That's right. Our white pepper is still not as flavorful as chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. We must bring them back. I finally understand why Lin Yan has to come out. Such good things can only be found out."
Jiang Li sneered, "You said that Lin Yan was just looking for something to eat. That is an insult to Lin Yan."
"I was just making an analogy." Lan Shu retorted, "Of course I know that Lin Yan has more important things to insist on doing."
Lin Yan was happy, "Then tell me, what is the more important thing?"
The orchid tree is stuck, "..."
The others burst out laughing.
Lin Yanle said: "Actually, although this trip was difficult, the harvest was huge. I found more than fifty kinds of herbs, got to know more than ten kinds of animals, and also found new things to improve our diet, such as rye and Sichuan peppercorns. Chili peppers, etc. I went shopping today and found rice. I heard it was shipped from Pingcheng and the price was very expensive."
"I also took a look at the rice. Ordinary ones cost one tael of silver per catty, while high-quality ones cost five taels of silver per catty. It's ridiculously expensive." Gao Qiang paid great attention to food and had already figured out the food that he had never seen before in Ancheng. .
"One coin can buy ten pounds of rye and one pound of meat. Compared with rice, it is extremely cheap, but many people still cannot afford it. Prices in Anseong are too high."
Lan Shu asked curiously: "Rice is so expensive. I don't know what it tastes like. Can we buy some and have a taste?"
Lin Yan also wanted to eat the white rice. "I'll buy ten kilograms tomorrow and let everyone have a taste. By the way, I want to know if there are any seeds and how to plant them. We will plant them when we get back."
Jian Fang and Gao Qiang responded at the same time. One of them was responsible for farming-related matters, and the other was responsible for food.
After the meal, An Su said: "It costs money to eat and live in Ancheng. We make a lot of money from selling prey, but there are so many of us. It's not easy to just sit around and eat nothing every day. It's better to go out and work to make money. There are several people in a cold season." Month, we can still earn some money. I heard them say that money is universal and we need it no matter where we go. It is always good to earn more money."
An Su, who had always been silent, said so much that everyone was shocked. However, she is responsible for logistics management, so it is natural for her to worry about these things.
Huang Ning praised: "You're right, we have more people and more expenses, so it's really not a problem to just sit back and have nothing. I've been shopping with Wen Xue these days. There are several drug stores in Ancheng, and there are famous families involved behind them. The herbal medicines we brought They are all very valuable. Ganoderma lucidum as big as a bowl can be sold for more than a hundred taels of silver. Do you want to sell some?"
She has been assisting Wen Xue in collecting herbs and knows exactly what herbs are in hand. I have also inquired about the prices of various herbal medicines in the past few days, and I only have one feeling: they are all very valuable.
Along the way, I encountered a lot of good medicines, with complete varieties and high quality. They can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is really a lot of money.
After a pause, Huang Ning continued: "Wen Xue's medical skills are good and can be regarded as one of the best in Ancheng. He is a scarce talent that all forces are competing for. As long as Wen Xue is willing to make medical appointments, it will not be difficult to make money."
Everyone looked at Wen Xue in unison, forgetting that this treasure was still there.
Wen Xue smiled and said shyly: "I'm also thinking about opening a pharmacy, which will definitely make money. I've also tried the pharmacists in Ancheng, and their skills are average. Our pharmacy must be very popular."
Lanxing laughed and praised: "That's right. Pharmacists are the most popular, and there are scarce talents everywhere. Let's open a pharmacy, and the business will not be delayed in the cold season. It's good for everyone to help with the medicinal materials."
Gao Qiang: "More than that, in the future the drug store can serve as a contact point, and we will have a place to stay when we come to Ancheng again."
Lin Yan was thoughtful. If the Sun Alliance wanted to develop and grow, they would come here more often in the future. It might be a good way to feature medicine.
Lan Shu: "If you want to find Wu Kingdom, Ancheng is the only way to go. I will come here often in the future. Opening a medicine shop is good, it not only solves the livelihood problem, but also takes root in Ancheng. How about we buy a shop with a yard? , it’s nice to do business in the front and people live in the back.”
Lan Xing praised: "Yes, this is a good idea. I will go find out if there is such a yard sale tomorrow."
…
Everyone was chatting with each other in a lively manner, and soon they decided to split up tomorrow and try to buy the shop as soon as possible.
At the end of the sentence, Lan Xing suddenly said, "Lin Yan, you are so far-sighted. Have you long thought that medicine is so important, so you will vigorously develop medical schools?"
"It's not as powerful as you said. At the time, I just thought that medicine was important. People need it when they are injured, old, sick, or dead. If you have the conditions, you should do it. But I didn't expect that it would be so popular if I came out."
Lin Yan spoke from her heart. In her opinion, medicine is an indispensable item in life, and she must start it as soon as possible to lay the foundation for the future.
Wen Xue was taken along with him, and what he saw along the way was completely unexpected. Medical talents are indeed rare, and they are highly sought after wherever they go.
Wen Xue's cheeks turned red after being praised by everyone. She was talented in medicine and obsessed with research. It was an unexpected surprise to be able to follow Lin Yan out and about.
Lan Xing laughed and said: "No matter how you say it, we have a lot of scarce talents. How many people are there in the medical school now?"
After thinking about it, Wen Xue said: "There are more than forty people. Half of them were novices when we left, and the rest have been studying for several years and are already at a good level."
Lan Xing: "Haha, there are so many people, every one of them can shock Ancheng. This is our confidence, the drug store must be opened."
Everyone was so excited that after they left, some people felt like they had forgotten something important.
Before going to bed, someone remembered that tomorrow morning, the mayor was going to summon Lin Yan and Lan Yue. They were so engrossed in talking about the drug store that they forgot to discuss tomorrow's major events.
As for the two parties involved, Lin Yan and Lan Yue, of course they remembered it, but they were happy that no one would mention it.
