When he saw his assistant being restrained by a black boy, he immediately became angry and angry.

He raised his legs and stepped forward to rush in front of Li Kui. His shoulders sank, and his powerful and heavy fists carried all the strength of his body like a stone cannon soaring into the sky, and came towards Li Kui with a fierce aura.

The word "hide" can basically be deleted from Li Kui's dictionary. When there is injustice on the road, let alone drawing a sword to help, at least roaring a few times is indispensable. What's more, he thinks he has been cheated, and there is no reason to hide when he travels all over the world.

?

Li Kui simply punched the opponent's fist, the second one coming first, and the two fists collided in the air, making a muffled sound like hitting a wall.

thump thump thump

The visitor took several steps back eagerly, his face became even redder, but his eyes had a frightened look.

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

At this moment, the drugstore clerk whose clothes were held by Li Kui took the opportunity to break free from Li Kui's control. He hid behind the middle-aged man with a pale face, stuck his head out, and said in a pretentious manner: "Boy, you don't even look at it if you want to cause trouble.

Look at this place, as long as our master opens his mouth, your kid will inevitably end up in jail?"

In fact, Li Kui deliberately let the boy go. The real owner is here, so what's the use of arresting a boy?

Li Kui was sizing up the other party, and the other party was also sizing up Li Kui. Li Kui's appearance was even more ordinary. He was dressed like a mountain boy, but the strange thing was that this guy was actually wearing summer clothes and looked calm. It was already winter, no.

Is it cold? Especially the two giant axes stuck on Li Kui’s back, they look like real guys.

But with such a big ax, it couldn’t be from Xibei, right? If it were a real thing, the ax would have weighed more than fifty pounds!

The visitor asked himself that he was definitely not able to hold such a heavy weapon, and he did not believe that the other party could dance with a pair of axes weighing more than 100 kilograms. However, he had just faced off against a head-on move, and he seemed to have suffered a loss. It was obvious.

First, he came prepared, but Li Kui responded hastily, and it was definitely Li Kui who suffered the loss. But the result was that not only did he fail to test the depth of Li Kui's kung fu, but he actually lost for a while, and lost miserably.

The fists that were crossed felt stinging like pin pricks, probably because they were swollen.

What a great external skill.

Isn't he a man from the green forest?

Li Kui glared back angrily and sneered: "If you dare to point your finger at me again, do you believe that I will make you suffer a bloody disaster now?"

After all, he is a clerk in a drug store. If he does not have a compassionate heart, he will inevitably be a bit snobbish. Seeing that Li Kui does not look like an ordinary troublemaker and is easy to deal with. With his fierce appearance, he has a fear of splitting his liver and gallbladder. But he keeps on

He made a complaint in front of the real owner: "My boss, you are here, my little one was almost strangled to death by this guy just now... Wuwuwu..."

"Stop talking nonsense, this warrior is so majestic and has a face like..." As a businessman, he must have the ability to praise people, but only Li Kui has so few advantages that he is a bit at a loss for words: "Iron face,

I remember that when I served as the Grand Master of Longtuge, Mr. Bao, he was selfless and unafraid of the powerful. It was precisely because of his unusual appearance that he could maintain his righteousness and be respected by the whole world. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. I am the proprietor of the medicine hall, Han Dahu. What do you call me?

"

It’s been months, it’s been months!

This was the first time that Li Kui heard someone praise his appearance. That kind of person's joy at seeing an oasis in the desert cannot be expressed in words. His eyes even softened a lot, and he grinned widely and said: "Easy to say, easy to say.

If you don’t change your name when you are walking, you won’t change your surname when you sit down, Li Kui of Baizhang Village.”

Judging from the appearance, Han Dahu is very inconspicuous.

With his unattractive appearance and unattractive attire, no one found it strange that he could change his clothes and work in the warehouse. Fortunately, his face was rosy and he looked energetic.

To put it bluntly, this man was wearing a black hat, white clothes, and a pair of leather boots. This was also the formal dress of ordinary businessmen. Emperor Taizong once ordered that businessmen, criminals, and servants could only wear white and black.

You are allowed to use fabrics of other colors. You must adhere to the rules of "noble and humble, rich and powerful".

The belt can also identify the identity of the merchant, because merchants can only use iron belt buckles and buckles made of ordinary animal horns.

For example, horns, bones, etc.

No businessman would choose to use iron belt buttons, because iron is easy to get dirty and rusty, which makes people look disgraceful.

Although his attire is ordinary, no one will underestimate the financial strength of a businessman. Even if Han Dahu is a rich man from a small county, he may still have an amazing accumulation of wealth. As expected, Han Dahu ordered the stewards around him whenever he disagreed.

: "Shopkeeper Qiu, how much money is there in the account?"

"this……"

Shopkeeper Qiu is in a dilemma. He knows that his boss wants to save face. Another possibility is that his boss has a guilty conscience and cannot defeat the other party. But when talking about the money in the account to an outsider, any shopkeeper who abides by his duty would not dare to say it frankly.

.

Han Dahu pretended to glare and said: "Go and get twenty taels to show off this good brother Li Kui!"

These words were spoken openly, and Li Kui felt comfortable listening to them. He didn't expect that he could get such treatment for his good martial arts. However, he was a reasonable person, so he waved his hand and refused: "No, I'm here to sell ginseng, but your clerk is too

He bullied others, thinking that the people in the mountains like me were easy to trick. That's when the quarrel broke out."

Li Kui said without leaving any trace that he almost hit someone was just a quarrel, and he was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Han Dahu also heard that Li Kui was not an overbearing and rude person. To be honest, he was not very good at it. He was the number one martial artist in Yishui County before, of course before he boxed with Li Kui. After that... he should have quit the first round.

A fight for one person. He glared at the waiter angrily and whispered: "I'll settle the score with you later."

"Master Li, please come this way."

"Lao Qiu asked people to serve tea and go see the ginseng brought by Li Zhuangshi. The price must be fair."

Shopkeeper Qiu immediately rushed to the counter, looked at a pack of ginseng, and was dumbfounded: "It's a very ordinary ginseng." He turned to look at the waiter and asked in a low voice, "How much do you estimate it for?"

"Two hangings."

Less, but still the same. This was what Shopkeeper Qiu said in his heart, but the owner seemed to want to win over Li Kui, and offering this price would be a slap in the face. So after thinking about it for a while, he made a calculation in his mind: "Go back to the owner.

, the ginseng sent by Mr. Li is top grade and worth five guan."

"Go to the counter and get five taels of silver."

Silver is precious and is usually not a currency in circulation. However, among the people, it is often used as money. The main reason is that copper coins are too inconvenient. Although Jiaozi is easy to carry, it needs to be exchanged at a designated commercial bank. Once you want to

There was no exchange shop where I went, so I could only stare.

At this time, gold and silver became the biggest winner in the transaction due to their rare characteristics.

Moreover, one tael of silver is far more valuable than ordinary money.

Although shopkeeper Qiu had already given a sky-high price, Li Kui was not satisfied! Two kilograms of wild wild ginseng, for just this amount of money? Why bully him because he has never seen the world?

Li Kui called out to Shopkeeper Qiu: "Wait a minute."

"Look carefully, this is wild ginseng. How can it be worth only five guan?"

Shopkeeper Qiu was dumbfounded. Wasn't the other party easy to talk to before? Why is he acting arrogant again? His sneaky eyes flicked back and forth between his boss and Li Kui, and finally he understood one thing. It turned out that this black man

I didn't know the price of wild ginseng at all. Then my heart became clear and I said to the waiter: "Changsheng, go to the pharmacy and bring a bag of ginseng over."

After a while, Li Kui was dumbfounded.

He didn't think it was possible for people in this era to grow ginseng. It was foreseeable that all the ginseng he saw was wild. Not only wild, but also high-quality goods of good vintage and quality.

But when a sack of ginseng was placed in front of him, he felt panicked for no reason.

"Master Li, you have a good eye. This is Shangdang ginseng. It is of medium to high quality and always weighs a pound."

"This is the best quality, five pieces per pound."

"The ones of medium and high quality are...the ones you brought, Mr. Li. They are in perfect condition, weighing five pounds and one pound."

"As for the lower-grade ones, it costs forty or fifty big bucks per pound, regardless of quality, it's just a little more expensive than jujubes."

"Shangdang also produces a kind of purple group ginseng, which has a mild but effective medicinal effect. Many serious diseases require this ginseng to save lives. But there are too few, and small shops do not have such precious medicinal materials. If Mr. Li brought purple group ginseng,

"Ginseng, I have the final say. I can give you one or two of the five hundred Guan Guan. But this thing is a rare treasure in the capital, and the princes and ministers may not be able to enjoy it."

…

Li Kui's mouth trembled and he said: "Does this mean that the ginseng I brought can only be sold for two tons of money?"

"Two hangings are more than enough, except for those of different quality, three or four hangings are still worth the money." Shopkeeper Qiu also felt very unbearable, what a strong person! He was stumped by several hangings, the world is difficult!

Li Kui looked at the half-pound ginseng in the other person's hand and was speechless. Could it be that in this era, this thing is worth the price of cabbage?

Ginseng!

Isn’t the status of this holy medicine in the Northern Song Dynasty too low?

He still knew the quality of the package of ginseng he brought. Compared with the one in the hands of shopkeeper Qiu, it was not as good as half of the top-grade ones. At this time, he would not feel discouraged. He originally

I thought that the market for wild ginseng should at least be similar to that in "A Dream of Red Mansions". A 2-tael ginseng would cost more than a hundred taels, and he could probably sell it for several thousand taels if he took packaged ginseng. Moreover, the ginseng in "A Dream of Red Mansions" comes from Changbai Mountain.

Ginseng is a sub-first-class production area. The best one is Shangdang ginseng. If Shangdang hadn't been harvested and stopped producing ginseng, nothing would have happened to Changbai Mountain ginseng.

He originally planned to use the money to open a workshop, which could be any business related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the same thing, it must be able to make money!

Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Unexpectedly, the ginseng market was so miserable in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The facts dealt him a heavy blow. The moment he left the drug store, his eyes were dull. He refused Han Dahu's warm hospitality and sold the good-quality ginseng, leaving the inferior half behind. He carried two slings of money in his arms.

, and walked out of the pharmacy door with a long sigh.

It was also because Li Kui read too few miscellaneous books. If he had seen a letter from Su Dongpo to a friend, which contained several kilograms of ginseng and jujubes, he would have known how cheap ginseng was in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although Su Dongpo was talented, he was also really poor. He could deliver several kilograms of ginseng at one go, which shows that the price of ginseng was not much more expensive than jujubes in the Northern Song Dynasty.
