July 18—Sunny day.
In the morning, Jin Yuniang was busy preparing medicinal materials in the house, picking, sorting, bumping, sifting, scraping, pounding, grinding, pressing... Every process was extremely meticulous to ensure that the finished medicine was error-free and accurate. Full of effectiveness.
'Those without perseverance cannot be doctors, as life and death are closely related'... This is the ancestral motto of the Jin family!
"Ouch-ouch!"
"Fly east... fly south... fly west... make two more circles... great!"
In the center of the yard, Qin Feng was training the little golden eagle to perform various flying movements according to his instructions.
I had no choice but to release the little golden eagle several times in a row, but the little golden eagle would fly back to Qin's house to continue eating and drinking after a few circles, and it couldn't be driven away no matter what.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take him in and officially became a member of the family. Qin Li used his free time to start military training for the little golden eagle.
That's right, it's military training!
The golden eagle is a very spiritual raptor with a high IQ. After training, it can help humans hunt, deliver messages, provide warnings... and even go into battle to kill enemies!
For example, among the Mongolian tribes, there are specialized falconers who can use raptors such as golden eagles and falcons to detect the enemy's situation at high altitudes. It is like having an extra pair of clairvoyance, and they can predict the enemy everywhere.
Hundreds of years ago, Genghis Khan's army was able to win every battle and sweep across the Eurasian continent in a short period of time. These raptors played a major role!
Before time travel, when Qin Feng received special training on the prairie, he learned many skills from several old Mongolians, including training birds of prey, which came in handy now.
The little golden eagle was very smart and quickly learned many skills. As a reward, Qin Feng gave it a nice and domineering name - Lightning!
As fast as lightning, proud of the nine heavens, only such a name is worthy of being called the King of the Sky!
…
"Coming, coming... The Xue family's caravan is coming, folks, come out quickly!"
"Well, caravan?"
While he was having fun playing with the little golden eagle, people on the street shouted horse neighing, which was extremely lively, and was also mixed with the cheers of military households.
Driven by curiosity, Qin Feng walked to the door and took a look. It turned out that a caravan came to the military fort. There were about forty or fifty carts of mules and horses, which were filled with all kinds of goods. There is also a recognition flag on it, and a letter with four big characters: Suide - Xue Family!
These four words are well known to women and children in the northwest.
Commercial activities in the Ming Dynasty were relatively developed, with a large number of merchants. Over the past few hundred years, three major business gangs were gradually formed across the country:
The first is Huizhou merchants, who are mainly located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. They deal in sea salt, silk, grain, tea, porcelain... and other businesses. They also participate in overseas trade and earn a lot of wealth. Huizhou merchants have the strongest financial resources in the world!
The second is Shanxi merchants, that is, merchants from Shanxi, who are mainly engaged in the business of banknotes, pawns, coal, and smelting. Shanxi merchants have quick minds and are the most shrewd in their calculations.
The third is Qin Shang, a businessman from Shaanxi, mainly engaged in the business of green salt, tea horse, jade, and cotton. The characteristics of Qin Shang are loyalty and honesty!
The Suide-Xue family were the leaders among the Qin merchants. They owned a large number of shops and caravans, and had so much wealth that they were as rich as any other country. Together with the Huamachi-Gao family and Xi'an Prefecture-Hu family, they were also known as the "Three Northwest Countries". Da Qin Shang! '
Not only that, the Xue family also participated in the military supply business, organizing caravans to sell supplies to military towns and military forts in the northwest. Because the prices were fair and the children were honest, they were well received by military households.
Seven Kills Fort is relatively isolated and notoriously poor, so few business travelers come here. Now that the Xue family caravan comes, it is really more joyful than the Chinese New Year.
"Man, how do you sell green salt?"
"Same as in previous years, fifteen cents a pound."
"Okay, weigh five pounds!"
…
"Man, where's the cotton?"
"Four cents of silver per pound!"
"Twenty kilograms. Money is not convenient recently. Can I exchange it for three sheepskins?"
"OK!"
The military households of Qisha Fort rushed forward, vying to buy the goods from the Xue family caravan. Those who had money paid, but if they didn't have money, bartering was also possible, and the prices were quite fair.
There is not much food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea at home. Qin Feng also wants to buy some, but unfortunately he is short of money and doesn't even have a penny.
There is no way, I used to be a waste, only eating and drinking, and never made a penny.
The last time we killed Lu Douying and three others, they plundered more than twenty taels of silver and hid it in a tree hole by the river. However, we did not dare to take out the silver, otherwise it would easily arouse others' suspicion, and Jin Yuniang did not It’s easy to explain, you can’t say you picked it up yourself, right?
No one believes that!
How can a man, a real man, be so poor and rely on women to support him all day long? He must find a way to make money and live a happy life.
The question is, how to make money?
Apart from his killing skills, he seems to have no other talents. How about becoming a killer or working as a bodyguard for rich people?
While he was thinking wildly, a guest came to the door. He was an old man with gray hair. He was wearing a blue brocade robe and looked very energetic. He was followed by two waiters, both dressed in Xue family caravan attire.
"May I ask, is Miss Jin at home?"
"Who are you, and what do you want from Yu Niang?"
"Old Sun Degui is a steward of the Xue family's caravan. I took the liberty of visiting today because a maid next to my young master is ill. I heard from the military households in the fort that Miss Jin's medical skills are very superb, so I came to ask for help. medical!"
"Oh, where is the patient now?"
"He's on the carriage outside. He's very ill and can't walk. I'd like to ask Miss Jin to go over there for treatment. The consultation fee is good!"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Qin Feng walked into the house and explained the situation to Jin Yuniang. The latter immediately picked up a small medicine box, went out and talked briefly with Shopkeeper Sun, and then followed them to diagnose and treat the patient.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and followed him.
…
Among the Xue family's caravan, there was a silver box car with two horses and a shaft. It was tall, spacious, and beautifully decorated. It looked like a car for a wealthy person.
Shopkeeper Sun came to the car and bowed and saluted: "Master Qi, we have invited the ladies."
"Oh, let me see?"
The car door opened, and there was a young man in white sitting inside. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a face like a crown jewel, red lips, white teeth, and fair skin... a real handsome boy!
Not just ordinary handsome, but very handsome!
If Qin Feng's appearance is seven points, and the young man in white's appearance is at least twelve points, the ancient Pan An and Song Yu are probably no more than that.
There was also a young maid in the car. She was pretty, but her face was sallow and she was lying on a soft couch. She looked sick at first glance.
"This is the girl who is as bright as the autumn moon and beautiful. I didn't expect that a small place like Qisha Castle would have such a beautiful woman. It's really rare... Sister Beauty, get in the car and show Luliu a quick look. , What disease does she have?" The young master in white pointed to the place next to him and motioned for Jin Yuniang to come up and treat his little maid.
It is a very rude behavior for strangers and men to sit in the same car.
However, children from military families are not so particular about poverty, and it is more important to treat illnesses and save people, so Jin Yuniang did not pick any objections and went straight to the carriage to start diagnosing the pulse and treating illnesses.
The little maid Luliu seemed to be in a bad situation, but in fact her condition was not serious. It was just the long journey, unaccustomed to the climate, and the hot weather that made her fall ill.
Jin Yuniang gave her a few injections, pushed the uterus to remove the blood, and cleared the source. She also took out a homemade Qingxin Pill and asked her to swallow it... After a while, the situation improved greatly.
I gave him a dozen more pills and told Luliu to take them on time. Within three days, she would definitely recover as before!
"Haha, my sister is not only beautiful, but her medical skills are also superb, comparable to Bian Que's rebirth. I heard that my sister's surname is Jin, but I don't know how old she is, and whether she is married to someone else. My surname is Xue, I am 17 years old this year, and I haven't married yet. , I wonder if the beautiful sister is interested?"
"You...are rude!"
"Haha, don't be upset, beautiful sister. I just have a crush on you and can't help myself for a moment. I have ten taels of tattooed silver here, which counts as a consultation fee. Please keep it!"
While he was talking, the young man in white handed over a piece of silver. When handing over, he touched Jin Yuniang's palm with his little finger and gave her a wink!
"You...you...are a swindler!"
Jin Yuniang's face turned red with embarrassment, she hurriedly got off the carriage and ran away like a frightened little rabbit, leaving even the ingot of silver on the ground.
Qin Feng had been watching with cold eyes, but said nothing. He stepped forward to pick up the silver, bought rice, flour, oil, salt and other items that were urgently needed at home with the Xue family caravan guys, and then moved back home.
…
"Mr. Jiao, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to meet a prostitute!" Back home, Jin Yuniang was still restless. After all, it was a shame to be teased by other men in front of her fiancé.
"Haha, Sister Yu, it's okay, it's just a naughty little female bird!"
"What, female bird...you mean, Mr. Xue is a woman?"
"That's right, a woman disguised as a man!"
Qin Feng had already seen it. After all, clothes can deceive, but the size difference between men and women cannot. Otherwise, if that man dared to molest Jin Yuniang, he would have drawn his sword and killed him!
But, it's weird that a woman actually likes to tease other women. Could it be that that guy is a lesbian?
Lala, it’s been around since ancient times!
Besides, after all, 'Mr.
What's it called?
If you have it, call her: Little Bunny!
The male rabbit's feet are twitching, the female rabbit's eyes are blurry, and the two rabbits are walking next to each other. How can they tell whether I am male or female?
Besides, she is indeed quite small, and she is as small as a horse, hehe!
