"Damn it! Who asked you to cook in my ancestral medicine jar? This is the jar I use to boil medicine!"

Early in the morning, Chai Yanjun's shouting could be heard in the kitchen of the medicine hall.

Xu Ling woke up from the chair and stretched his stiff shoulders and neck. Chai Yanjun ran in angrily with a jar, "Did you use my medicine jar! Do you know how expensive it is?!"

"Smell it! Smell this meaty smell! It destroys the effect of the medicine I have accumulated!"

"Compensate!"

The medicine jar was almost close to Xu Ling's nose. He was forced to take a few sips, but there was no smell at all.

He brushed it clean last night, how could it smell?

Xu Ling saw Hetong cleaning the medicine cabinet not far away with a feather duster. From time to time, he would look at the goings on here with a guilty conscience. If he didn't understand, he would be a fool.

Xu Lingdui smiled and said, "Doctor, may I ask how much the medicine jar costs?"

Chai Yanjun looked at him angrily, "It's cheaper for you, just one tael of silver!"

Xu Ling rolled his eyes and said: "It's not impossible. Doctor Chai, you also know that I am a businessman. I usually go out and have a high risk of getting sick. It is my honor to be able to meet a doctor with such superb medical skills and kind heart like you." pleasure."

"Well, I'm willing to spend one tael of silver to buy this jar, for no other reason than to make friends with you. What do you think, Doctor Chai?"

Chai Yanjun looked at Xu Ling suspiciously and hesitated for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, he said with a heartbroken look on his face: "Forget it, there is no business without treachery, who knows what bad ideas you might have?"

"Doctor Chai, how can this be called a bad idea? I must be a good person. If I wasn't a good person, why would I spend so much money to save this old beggar?"

Chai Yanjun was about to leave, Xu Ling quickly followed and recommended himself as a good person.

Ever since he learned yesterday how expensive the ginseng, astragalus and other medicinal materials in Sixian Tang were, he had been thinking about growing medicinal materials in space.

Just how to grow ginseng? By seeds? Xu Ling had no idea, so Chai Yanjun in front of him was a very good teacher and future partner.

Xu Ling was thick-skinned and kept pestering Chai Yanjun, forcing him to sell the medicine jar to him, and also asked him about how to buy ginseng seeds.

"What do you want ginseng seeds to be used for? Do you still want to grow your own?"

Chai Yanjun looked at Xu Ling with disgust. He didn't like the business style of businessmen. If these businessmen knew how to grow ginseng, I'm afraid that within a few years, the world would be full of small ginseng with no medicinal effect.

Isn't this harmful?

Xu Ling said sincerely: "I have really thought about it. To be honest with the doctor, I have several acres of fertile land at home. I usually go out to do business, and the land is empty and I don't grow anything. I want to just grow some medicinal materials. This will benefit the country. This is a great deed for the people, I don’t know how many lives it can save!”

When he spoke, his innocent face looked as determined as possible. Chai Yanjun thought to himself, Xu Ling saved a beggar at all costs yesterday, he must be a kind-hearted person, right?

Xu Ling repeatedly promised that he could cooperate with Chai Yanjun and that he would review all the medicinal materials grown. Chai Yanjun would definitely know whether they were effective or not.

The two signed a contract and Xu Ling pressed his fingerprints.

Chai Yanjun promised to give Xu Ling the seeds.

A total of three kinds were given, one was ginseng seeds, which were said to be ten-year-old, and there were at least dozens of them densely packed in a small packet; the other was ginseng seeds, and the third was angelica.

These three Chinese herbal medicines are relatively expensive and scarce.

Xu Ling definitely didn't get it from Chai Yanjun for free, but gave him another two taels of silver to get these three small packets of herbal seeds.

"These medicinal materials are not something you can grow just because you want to. Speaking of which, if you can't grow them, I won't refund your money."

Xu Ling carefully collected the seeds and did not take Chai Yanjun's words to heart at all.

He is pregnant, so how could he not be able to plant well?

Anyway, these medicinal materials are perennial and can be planted wherever they are planted. Who knows when they will be useful?

Xu Ling stayed in Lingbao Town for three days. The double-sided brocade handkerchiefs stored in the cloth village were sold out at prices ranging from 300 to 350 yuan each. After deducting the fees for the people, Xu Ling made a total of Got ninety taels of silver.

Xu Ling really underestimated the purchasing power of the wealthy lady. The shopkeeper of Buzhuang also wanted Xu Ling to bring back some more brocade handkerchiefs, but Xu Ling did not agree directly.

It was now approaching the end of October. When he made another trip to Quanzhou, it would be the deadline for agreeing to repay Wang's money. It was time for him to go home and prepare for the New Year.

Xu Ling did not let Old Fan go home first, nor did he agree to take him to Quanzhou with him. Instead, he booked a room at the inn for half a month and let Old Fan stay alone in Lingbao Town.

Old Man Fan was very puzzled. Mr. Xu Ling could not possibly tell him that he had space and it would be inconvenient to take him with him.

So he made an excuse to let him take the opportunity to read more books in the town and regain his former state, so that he could go home and help him teach his younger brothers and sisters.

Old Man Fan agreed, but Xu Ling did not give him money directly, but asked the innkeeper to provide three meals a day.

He was afraid that Old Man Fan would escape, so wouldn't he be wasting his efforts?

After settling in Old Man Fan, Xu Ling went to Dingping Village again, exchanged all his money for porcelain, and delivered food to Deyuelou twice before boarding the merchant ship bound for Quanzhou again.

The temperature seemed to have cooled down overnight.

On the third day of Xu Ling's boat ride, he worked tirelessly to clear up wasteland and cultivate land in the space the night before. He finally planted the three herbal seeds and planted another round of cabbage.

When I got up and went out the next day, I felt weak under my feet.

The sky was gloomy outside, the cold wind was howling, and there were few people on the deck. Xu Ling wandered outside for a while, then returned to the cabin and got into the space.

I cook and eat in the space, go to sleep after eating, and go to farm again when I wake up.

Thanks to Xu Ling and not to himself, there are a lot of chicken, fish, meat and eggs in the space, most of which are finished products. He eats well and works a lot every day.

His formerly skinny little body gradually became strong and strong.

And I don't know if it was Xu Ling's illusion, but he always felt that he had grown taller.

The length of the pants doesn’t lie.

In fact, it's normal when you think about it. This body is only in his early twenties. In his previous life, he was still in college. He was already taller than ordinary men when his nutrition could not keep up. Now that he eats well, it is normal for him to be a little taller.

Having the experience of going back to Quanzhou for the first time, this time it was also very smooth.

When Xu Ling arrived in Quanzhou, he went to find Lou Qiaosheng and asked him to help find a buyer.

This time I spent all my money on porcelain, which totaled at least a thousand pieces.

Fortunately, it was the New Year, and some people were accustomed to buying cups, bowls, pots, and pots for their homes before the New Year. It took Lou Qiaosheng two days to find Xu Ling a buyer with a suitable price who could swallow a large amount of goods in one go.

But last time, I happened to sell it to a barbarian businessman with nearly 300% of the profit. Xu Ling couldn't find such a stupid buyer this time, and the price of the porcelain he sold only more than doubled.

In addition to the money he earned from selling vegetables in Quanzhou City, Xu Ling already had 207 taels of silver before returning to Lingbao Town.
