Another batch of goods was delivered to Daomen Village. This time it was no longer food, but cloth and a large number of patent medicines. There were two more people traveling with the goods than the previous times, for a total of nine people.
It is no secret that a large amount of goods are delivered to the cottage every once in a while. The cottage does not hide this matter. Everyone knows that a big boss has spent money to lease a piece of land in the cottage. Used to stock up. Not much else is known.
Most people didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, those goods and people were a different kind of people in the cottage and rarely had contact with people. It doesn't affect anyone.
Except for one person, that is Qiu Chongxi.
Qiu Chongxi has been visiting everywhere since he returned to Daomen Village. As a chef, what he is best at is cooking a table of good dishes and preparing two jugs of good wine to invite people over to "have a seat". In addition, wine is very rare everywhere these days, and there are many drunkards in the village. Once or twice, you can grit your teeth and refuse, but after more times, things will go smoothly.
Therefore, although the people in the village did not regard Qiu Chongxi as one of their own again, the past could be considered a chapter. There is not much goodwill, but there is not much malice either.
In addition, some of the contacts with Qiu Chongxi actually came from the high-level officials of the cottage. Because Qiu Chongxi is currently the only channel through which he can talk to the big boss behind him, and it is also a way to test for information.
In fact, they are also testing each other. But it was always private.
But early that morning, Qiu Chongxi took the initiative to find the residence of the village leader Li Tianfang for the first time. The two of them chatted in the study for half an hour.
After Qiu Chongxi left, Li Tianfang immediately called all the senior officials in the village to gather for discussion.
"Let's all take a look. Qiu Chongxi has brought us big news this time." Li Tianfang passed a letter in his hand and asked the senior officials below to gather and circulate it.
Soon after everyone had read the contents of the letter, the hall fell into an eerie silence. Even the usually most emotional people remained silent. But if you look closely, you can see that they each have a vague look of helplessness and depression on their faces.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Tianfang also sighed and continued: "I know that Master Pan has a weird temperament and does not listen to what others say. But Master Pan's cultivation and his alchemy methods are all obvious to all of you. Let’s not go too far, let’s talk about the “Obstacle Breaking Pill”, a pill. Have you ever heard of it elsewhere?
The price is ten years of life, but you can get a glimpse of the mystery of Qi training. If you put this account outside and ask a hundred people, a hundred people will say it is a good deal! Not to mention that in this day and age, if the barrier-breaking pill were taken out, it would definitely shock the world!
And it’s not like other elixirs are not available. Aren’t you allotted a lot of them now? You can't keep silent about trouble now, right? "
As soon as Li Tianfang finished speaking, someone spoke up, with a helpless tone and said, "Brother, I recognize Master Pan's ability, but his temper is simply capricious. The elixir stall seems to be our copycat business. But in fact, it has nothing to do with our copycat. We have benefited a lot, but what pill is released, how much, and when it is released have nothing to do with us.
The letter Qiu Chongxi brought made it clear that they had weapons but needed to replace them with pills. I asked for Xiao Pei Yuan Dan or Zhuang Gu Dan. I'm afraid I won't be able to get those weird pills. And who dares to ventilate Master Pan on this matter? Then you shouldn't be scolded to death? I don’t dare to go anyway. "
"You don't dare to go, and neither do I. The last time I brought a pig's leg over, I wanted to beg a lot of people for a small Pei Yuan Dan, but Master Pan kicked me eight feet away and almost broke my butt into four pieces. Son. I don’t dare to go, I don’t dare to go. Brother, didn’t you say last time that you and Master Pan had the same interests and we had a very pleasant chat? Can’t you just go to Master Pan directly for this matter?”
"This" Li Tianfang was speechless for a moment. If you are bragging, can you use it as evidence to prove it? These brothers can really do anything!
After holding it in for a long time, Li Tianfang yelled and cursed: "What a fool! You are afraid of Master Pan, aren't I afraid? Stop talking nonsense to me and think of a way! If you want weapons, you have to do something, right?" "
We are all brothers and always speak casually. After being a gangster for many years, there aren’t that many rules.
"The big boss behind Qiu Chongxi is also very powerful. He actually took advantage of the fact that there is an alchemist in our village. Even if Master Pan did not cover up the traces of alchemy, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can think of. And I now suspect that the people they sent with their crossbows and armors deliberately let us see them, just waiting for us to take the initiative to ask."
"Deliberately? Tsk, tsk, when you say that, it is really possible. In that case, the other party may have a lot of weapons in their hands, just for our elixirs."
"Don't talk about what you have or don't have. What we are talking about now is the exchange of weapons for pills! And the exchange of Xiao Pei Yuan Pill and Bone Strengthening Pill, do you want to do it or not?"
"Do it! Why don't you do it? There are not many elixirs, and there is no way to use them to expand our hard power. Cultivation depends on talent, and the strength increases slowly. The current situation waits for no one, and we can't tell when we will be completely Chaos has arisen. So getting weapons to quickly replenish our strength is the top priority."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Then how should we pay back the price?"
"A small Pei Yuan Dan can be exchanged for a boatload of large crossbows or half a boatload of armor! How about that?"
"Pfft! I said, Third Brother, are you too cruel? Those are weapons, not kitchen knives and forks. Those things can't be bought with money, let alone in this world."
"Then how much would you say is appropriate?"
After some deliberations, a consensus was finally reached. But there is one last problem that remains unresolved. That is, the elixirs in the cottage are not ultimately decided by Li Tianfang and others, and need Master Pan’s nod.
"Then who's going to say it?"
"." You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything in the end.
Li Tianfang still had to speak, but he looked at Li Longcheng who was sitting at the end and said, "Lao Liu, your two daughters are burning the alchemy furnace under Master Pan. Let them ask?"
"Brother, this."
"Don't worry, listen to me. What Master Pan cares about is not the elixir, but whether he can refine elixirs to improve his alchemy skills. And alchemy requires medicinal materials. In addition to the exotic flowers and herbs and old medicines we helped him find in the mountains , it also requires a large amount of general medicinal materials to temper the medicinal liquid. And isn't the big boss behind Qiu Chongxi the main source of the medicinal materials required by Master Pan? If you put it like this, I believe Master Pan will seriously consider it.
Don't worry, nothing will happen! "
Li Longcheng simply replied: "It's so easy, why don't you go there yourself? Do you think Master Pan is not worthy?"
Li Tianfang: "."
