Dou Wang really didn't know how to answer that. He wasn't sure if Chun He wanted to continue doing this since she wanted to make tea. Thus, he casually asked this question.
"Then, how much is one tael of tea for you?"
"If it's the best kind, how much do you charge?"
According to what his second brother had told him, he found the location of the pharmacy. When he heard that the mint in the pharmacy was sold for three taels of silver, Dou Wang wanted to kneel on the ground and give it to the heavens.
He felt that he was simply too lucky. When he entered the town, he saw the tea shop first, otherwise, he would not have been able to get even one tael of silver back to the village. The difference in price made him somewhat reluctant to sell the mint in his bag.
But since she was already here, it wasn't worth it to carry such a big bag back. If Chungwai wanted to make more honey mint, he would help her gather it, even though he only knew at the end that she only had two coins for the mint, and it was because of the mint he was drying that she gave her a price. Dou Wang also decided to sell the mint.
After all, he had too much money in his pocket and would have to buy a huge iron pot later. Dou Wang knew the weight of a huge iron pot, so if he had to carry a couple of pounds of mint, it would be too inconvenient.
Compared to anything he could pick later, Dou Wang naturally knew what to choose, so he quickly sold the mint and traded it for 326 yuan. Carefully, he put his wallet away and went to find a place to buy the pot.
However, Dou Wang didn't expect that ever since he left the teahouse and kept touching the silver on his chest, he had already been targeted by someone. It was because he was inexperienced, his cautious look, anyone could tell that he had some valuable things in his pocket.
They followed him all the way in and saw him selling the medicine store for several hundred gold coins. The idlers' eyes turned green, this was a big fish, it was hard to see through it, but it was a truly rich master. Or perhaps, he was intentionally breaking through to avoid attracting attention.
If he was on the mountain, he would have long since discovered that someone was following him. However, in this small town that was filled with people, he was not as vigilant as he was now. In his heart, everyone was kind and simple.
Others bullying him, he was still finding excuses for others to bully them. He felt that the villagers were afraid of him, so they were unfriendly towards him, he could not think of it at all, but if they were afraid of him, then forget about him, why would they bully him? This was the nature of a human being, it was a pity that Dou Wang did not understand.
If this was in the past, Dou Wang would definitely feel sorry for this money, but today, he didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. He only felt that he could settle this matter so quickly, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.
Raising the big iron pot above his head and buttoning it, it was so big that it had an effect on his vision. He moved the pot a little backwards, and when he could see the road ahead, he strode out. It was not yet noon, so he turned back quickly and would be able to return to the village by mid-afternoon (at four in the afternoon).
When he thought about how he could report the good news to Chun Wen today, Dou Wang was full of energy. He carried a huge iron pot and walked towards the village. At first, he was really full of energy, but after walking for a while, he gradually became tired.
No matter how strong Dou Wang was, he was still an eleven-year-old child. This weight was a little too heavy for him, and as he saw that he was not far from the forest he passed by and it was already past noon, Dou Wang carefully took the pot off his head and slowly placed it in the grass.
After unloading this heavy burden, he instantly felt much lighter, but just as he took down the pot, he immediately discovered that there were several people following behind him. Furthermore, they were staring at him closely, and if one looked closely, one would see that they were not from the village.
"What are you guys doing?"
Seeing that these people were about to surround them, Dou Wang retreated a few steps, then those people followed. If he still didn't know that these people were bad, then he would really be a fool.
But even if he put down the pot, they still didn't think much of Dou Wang. He was just a teenage kid, and as a few adults, they would at least hold him down. The thought of hundreds of gold coins made their hearts burn with passion.
If they knew that there was so much, they would have been unable to control themselves and would not have waited so long before making their move. In their eyes, several hundred gold coins was already a lot of money, and now, a family of four would be able to live for a month with more than ten gold coins, not to mention several hundred coins, it was definitely a lot of money.
Dou Wang ran into the forest as fast as he could, wanting to use the darkness of the forest and the dense forest to shake off these people, but unfortunately he thought too simply, before he could reach the depths of the forest, he was once again surrounded by five people in their twenties.
This time, they were not surrounded by enemies like before, but surrounded by enemies. This made Dou Wang unable to escape, but he also knew that even if they gave him some money, they would not give him a way out. They wanted everything, but he could not give them all the money.
"Brat, hand over the money and we'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll be in pain."
One of the men rubbed his wrist, as if he was very good at fighting. The others followed his example, clenching their fists and rubbing their wrists.
He looked at the people around him. No matter which direction he rushed in, it was almost impossible, unless he was as fast as lightning, but that was impossible. His two legs could not outrun those ten legs.
He rubbed his back against the tree, wondering if he could rely on the strength of the tree to force himself out of the encirclement. But after considering for a while, he gave up and was just about to do something when he saw that the circle of five people was getting smaller and smaller.
This was a skill that he had learnt in the mountains. If there was a large wild beast chasing after him, he would climb the tree if he couldn't escape, and train more. This kind of tree that went straight up and down was almost as fast as walking on the ground.
However, he only acted subconsciously. When he climbed up the tree trunk and sat down, he realized that he had already arrived at the top of the tree. He was really worried that the idle fellows would also climb up, but seeing that they were kicking and shaking the tree, Dou Wang knew that he had made the right choice. These few trees could not climb, at least not so straight.
This time, Dou Wang was really happy. As long as they didn't come up, he could continue wasting his time with them. He just didn't know how long he would be able to stay on this tree if they insisted on capturing him.
Inside, there were two pieces of rare materials that he brought along. Originally, he wanted to bring a single meal of dry rations, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make it back in time, so he brought two. Now, it seemed that he really had brought the right dishes.
Dou Wang didn't care about what happened next. He ate the leftover food with water and tied the bag to his back. If he continued to waste time like this, the rations he had on his back would be his rations. He needed to save a lot of money on food.
"You little brat, you even ate you. Do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
"F * ck, wait till we pull your grandson down from the tree, then we'll skin you alive. If you dare to cause trouble for the old men, you're courting death."
The loafers couldn't catch him, so they began to curse, but they couldn't catch him for a while, so they had to put their heads together and discuss their options in whispers. Finally they decided to climb up the tree, but none of them wanted to be at the bottom, so they got into a fight.
However, after a while, they started to have people squatting under the tree and then standing on their shoulders. The people next to them helped up the squatting people, and these two were put together, not too far away from Dou Wang. Seeing another person trying to climb up on top of these two people, Dou Wang secretly cursed; if someone climbed up the tree, then he wouldn't be able to run away.
