Chapter 14 Yan Qi's Memories
"Constant money?"
The man picked up the package and frowned twice, and saw that Lu Xin and the other two had changed slightly. Lu Xin ignored him and still pretended to be unfathomable. The man couldn't keep his pulse, but his tone of speaking became much more polite.
"Are the two guys here on behalf of the owner of the family?"
"It won't be a big brother's worries, either. This money is just a deposit. Just answer the questions. If you can tell the point, we will cover all your goods in the future."
Lu Xin talked freely and was full of energy, looking like a businessman who had been doing business for many years. However, he was also pretending to be calm and actually had no idea. After all, he was a newcomer and was young, so it was too easy to be fooled if he didn't pretend.
The man stared at Lu Xin for a moment, then smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "It seems that the two young men are people who know goods. If you have anything to figure it out, just ask me. In Xia Yanqi, a native of Liangzhou Prefecture, I wonder what the two young men call them?"
"Is Liangzhou that is close to the Northern Desert?"
After hearing Yan Qi's self-report, Cao An's face suddenly changed and showed an incredible expression. Lu Xin asked him what was wrong, but Cao An just shook his head and didn't want to say more.
"Oh, it's not that this guy is so surprised. Our Liangzhou is located in the northern desert, close to the Turks. There are droughts there for years, and the Turks often enter the pass to rob, and the people can be said to be in a miserable way. It is naturally a bit strange for me, a Liangzhou native, to come to Yuezhou Prefecture to do business. But it is also a force for livelihood. If you have any other laws, you will not be able to wander in a foreign land, right?"
When Yan Qi talked about his life experience, there was no obvious change in expression on his face. Instead, Cao An was a little uneasy after hearing the word Liangzhou. Lu Xin was sure that something was wrong here, but Cao An didn't say it, so he couldn't force others to ask about the secrets.
"Forget it, I spent a lot of money to leave the house just for this Dream Soul Ointment. It's important to do the main business first."
Lu Xin thought to himself and began to ask about the origin of Yan Qimeng Soul Ointment. At first, the other party was hesitant and refused to say it, so Lu Xin had to take out the only twenty cents left on his body and give it all.
"To be honest, the world was far from peace as it is today, more than ten years ago. At that time, when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was launching an army, the Central Plains was in full swing. The Turks took the opportunity to plunder Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Lingzhou and other places. My brothers and I couldn't survive in Liangzhou, so we got a few horses, passed through Yumen Pass, and started to make some small business deals in the Western Regions. Unfortunately, the whole world was uneasy at that time, and the business was getting harder and harder. And our brothers were also getting further and further away."
Yan Qi said this and turned around and walked to the table to pick up the jar of wine, raised his head and drank it, and took several large gulps in a row. He seemed to have not talked about the past to anyone for a long time, and seemed a little excited. Lu Xin just wanted to find out the sales channels of Menghun Ointment from the side and whether it was harmful to the body. He was not interested in listening to these nonsense. However, he was embarrassed to interrupt Yan Qi's memories and could only endure it.
"Do you know the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions? That is, the three and six small countries that Zhang Qian from the Han Dynasty went to the Western Regions. He was not a false statement. I have been to all those countries. Later, later... Later... Later, our brothers arrived at the Great Yuezhi. It was an extremely terrifying place. We met the man selling Dream Soul Ointment there. But there was also where our brothers and brothers got separated. Since then, we never met again."
Yan Qi was drunk and suddenly became sad. The story he told was very long, and it took half an hour to tell. Lu Xin was tired of standing and simply sat on the ground. However, when Yan Qi mentioned the three words "Da Yuezhi", Lu Xin became interested. He still clearly remembered that during an extracurricular tutoring, the history teacher mentioned the name of the Da Yuezhi of the ancient Western Regions. It was a more mysterious place than the ancient Loulan Kingdom. All records of the Da Yuezhi disappeared around 200 AD.
"Brother Yan Qi, it seems that the Great Yuezhi destroyed the country during the Han Dynasty. Now it is the first year of Zhenguan, have you been there?"
"You think I'm lying? You know what a f*ck!"
Yan Qi blushed and threw away the jar of wine in his hand heavily, his pupils dilated, and he looked very angry.
"The Great Yuezhi has not died. She is just hiding in a place that cannot be seen by the world. Hahaha, and you will never find her. Except for me, no one knows her magnificent beauty, and no one knows her gloomy and horror!"
"According to this, Dream Soul Ointment is the thing produced by the Great Yuezhi?"
Lu Xin naturally would not care about a drunk person, just ask about what he wanted to know.
"No! Everyone in the Great Yuezhi sucks Dream Soul Ointment, but this thing is not from the Great Yuezhi. It originates from the farther Western world. At the end of the Western Regions, outside of the Great Yuezhi, there are countless countries. It is the forbidden area of many Tantric Buddhism in the Divine Cult. The Great Puppet country there has a sacred tree. It lives in the abyss, thousands of feet high, covering the sun and the sky. Dream Soul Ointment is a secretly made of the fallen leaves of the sacred tree. You said, "I, Yan Qi, only sold two pieces for one cent. Isn't it expensive?"
Yan Qi was really drunk and his voice became louder and louder. In the end, Lu Xin had to cover his ears.
"Brother Yan, since you said that everyone in the Great Yuezhi sucks Dream Soul Ointment, then this thing will not kill anyone, right?"
"Diet? Of course, it won't die, but..."
"But what?"
"Yan is in love with the two guys today, so you might as well tell them the truth. If you take this Dream Soul Ointment once every three days, it will not only calm the mind and help sleep, but also strengthen the muscles and bones. But if you take too much and use too much, you will feel depressed and have a disorder of confusion. As for this, it has never been seen before."
"It's good if you can't die..."
It was already Si Shi when Lu Xin left Qingshui Lane. At Xu Mansion, the meal was almost on the verge of dinner. However, he and Cao An did not return to the mansion immediately. Instead, they left the city and buried most of the dream soul ointment in a deserted mountain.
This time, I bought a total of two thousand Dream Soul Paste from Yan Qi, which was a total of two large boxes. It was too eye-catching to move so many goods into the Xu Mansion at the same time. Moreover, the number of people in the mansion was the most, and a West Courtyard alone could be said to be a mixture of fish and dragons. In case, Lu Xin decided to bring only 500 into the mansion at a time, and the two bags could be loaded. He and Cao An carried one of them, and they were not afraid that others would have any suspicion. As for the remaining goods, Lu Xin could get them back at any time as long as he asked the mute Wu to help.
This was Cao An's first time doing business. He was both nervous and excited, and his cheeks were red all the way. Not to mention Lu Xin, if he was still in modern times, he was still the little kid who was addicted to mobile games. But after traveling to the Tang Dynasty, he actually started his business, and even he felt like he was in a dream.
After returning to the city, the two were in a good mood and began to wander around the city. Cao An paid a lot of money to buy a lot of things and invited Lu Xin to drink a drink. Logically speaking, Lu Xin was not good at this age. But the place where Cao An took him to was a century-old store. The plum wine sold by the store was not only famous, but also tasted very good. Lu Xin drank a bit like a modern blended cocktail and added juice. It was sweet in sourness, sweet in sweet in the middle, and spicy in the middle, and sweating all over.
Through the whole afternoon of purchasing, Lu Xin finally gained some understanding of the purchasing power of Kaiyuan Tongbao. In Yuezhou Prefecture, a dou of rice costs only four cents. In other words, a single Kaiyuan Tongbao can buy about three kilograms of rice. For ordinary people, this penny can allow the whole family to have a full meal for a day.
If calculated based on the rice price, then it is indeed a bit of a luxury to absorb two pieces of Dream Soul Paste. After all, in the world today, there are many people who can’t eat enough. When Lu Xin was still living at Grandpa Tu’s house, he didn’t afford to eat rice every meal.
As Shen approached, Cao An decided to go back to the house in advance in order to have the money for the dinner. Lu Xin was now penniless and naturally had no objection. When the two returned to the mansion, the kitchen in the West Courtyard just started. Ding and others gathered in the corners of the yard for dinner, which was lively.
However, as soon as Lu Xin returned to the West Courtyard, he found that many people were full of hostility when they looked at him. He could guess some reasons. There were seventy or eighty people in the West Courtyard who sucked Dream Soul Ointment, and these people have always taken turns to send people out of the house to buy. But this month, several people who could have left the house to buy goods were replaced by Lu Xin. In this way, those who had no inventory naturally hated Lu Xin to the core.
"Haha, let you stare at me first. In a few days, you will have to come and beg me!"
Since the plan has begun to be implemented, Lu Xin has no reason to stop. He is also afraid of offending people, but the Xu family is strict and sucking Dream Soul Ointment is a shameful thing. Lu Xin is not worried that anyone would dare to harm him at the risk of being kicked out of the Xu family or even beheaded.
After experiencing things like leaving my cousin, dying Grandpa Tu, bullied by Feng Li, etc., Lu Xin has long understood a truth: in this world, only by being the best person can he survive.
Three days passed by, and Lu Xin was still doing the work of cleaning the toilet. Although the mute Wu lent him money for the past, he never asked about Menghun ointment. Lu Xin had tried to let the mute Wu teach his martial arts many times, but he was rejected.
"Uncle Wu, you have such good martial arts skills. It would be a pity if you don't leave a legacy. It would be fine if you don't accept disciples. Just teach me a move and a half-stage. Maybe I will become famous all over the world in the future."
"If today's unification and peace gradually begins, people in the world do not have to practice martial arts. For me, only sad old things are left. For you, it may not be a blessing. It is better not to learn the skills of killing."
"Oh, if you don't learn, don't learn. I'll find someone to teach me in the future..."
Just as Lu Xin quarreled with the mute Wu, Cao An suddenly ran into the toilet courtyard excitedly. From a distance, he could see several strings of copper coins in his hand, jingling.
"Xiao Xin, the Menghun Paste has been sold out half now. The remaining half will probably be sold out tomorrow. Let's get rich, and we'll get rich."
