Chapter 17

"Zhangji Baofeng hall", located in the most prosperous middle street of Guangning City, has eight large open shops, which is the leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in Guangning city.

It is already morning, the middle street is full of traffic and people are coming and going, so busy.

Although Guangning city is the seat of Liaodong Town, it used to be prosperous, but it can not reach the present level.

This is mainly due to the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang. A large number of people from Liaozhong have poured into Guangning, which makes this frontier fortress a kind of abnormal prosperity.

Li Yuanqing, dressed in a thick coarse cloth coat, wearing a rabbit fur hat and cow leather boots, and wearing a long belt with unknown animal fur around his waist, stood quietly at the door of Baofeng hall.

It would not be abrupt for ordinary people to wear it, but Li Yuanqing is tall and powerful. Standing at the door of other people's shops like a telegraph pole, it will inevitably attract people's surprise.

I don't know. I think it's the owner of Baofeng hall. I've got into some big people who shouldn't be provoked.

Looking at the four big characters of "doctor's benevolence" hanging on the plaque in the center of Baofeng hall, Li Yuanqing's mouth showed a faint smile.

At this time, the staff inside also found Li Yuanqing, who was an unexpected guest. He hurriedly trotted out to meet him. He was afraid and said, "my guest, do you want to see a doctor or do you want to prescribe medicine?"

Li Yuanqing a smile, "I do not see a doctor, do not prescribe medicine, but have a business, want to talk with your boss."

Man, how dare you be the master? "My guest, unfortunately, our boss is not here today. Why don't you come back another day?"

"Oh." Li Yuanqing looked at the little guy with a little deep meaning, "that's OK, I'll come over another day."

Said, Li Yuanqing slowly walked to the street, soon disappeared in the crowd.

The man let out a breath and finally sent the plague away. The big fool stood at the door like a pole. Who dares to buy medicine in the shop?

Today, the second shopkeeper of Baofeng hall is on duty. A middle-aged man with a thin horse face and a tuft of goatee is on duty. Seeing the man come back to the shop, he quickly asks, "what's the matter with this man?"

The clerk quickly narrated Li Yuanqing's words to the second innkeeper. The second innkeeper was fiddling with the abacus beads to settle accounts. It seemed that he didn't take it seriously. He nodded and counted. The clerk rushed to greet other guests.

At this time, Li Yuanqing followed the alley next to baofengtang and came to the street in the backyard of baofengtang.

Baofengtang's house is very large, at least more than ten acres. It can occupy such an industry in the most prosperous commercial street in the city. From this, we can see that the financial resources of this record must be extraordinary.

There is a small river in the back street of baofengtang. Across the river is a noisy square. It used to be a market, but recently it has become a labor market, or a slave market.

Due to the influence of the small glacier and the failure of the Liaozhong war, many refugees had no choice but to sell their children and sell their daughters.

However, this was not the main business of the slave market. The main business of the slave market was that of adult laborers, young men and women.

Most of them are Han people, there are also quite a few Mongols, even Korean and white people.

Li Yuanqing ordered a bowl of chaos and several pieces of meat biscuits at the small stall beside the slave market. He sat down alone and looked at Zhang Ji's mansion not far away.

The slave market was full of people, but Li Yuanqing's heart was still.

In fact, Li Yuanqing has been paying close attention to baofengtang for several days. Originally, in order to help Mao Wenlong earn some money, Li Yuanqing wanted to return to his old business and do some medicine business.

He has been in this business for more than ten years, and few people know more about this business than Li Yuanqing.

But a few days later, Li Yuanqing accidentally found that this record of Baofeng hall, far from its surface, is so fuel-efficient.

Originally, Li Yuanqing planned to make a batch of medicinal materials from Guangning, and "further process" himself. He followed a large commercial team to Shenyang City. In this way, he could "wash white" his own identity and enter Shenyang City openly. In the second place, he could also earn some money and get some information, which was the best of both worlds.

But after discovering Zhang Ji's insincerity, Li Yuanqing changed his mind

The chaotic taste of this small stall is not bad, and the meat pie and meat stuffing are enough. After a while, Li Yuanqing has eliminated it and wiped his mouth comfortably, "waiter, come here."

Li Yuanqing said, a piece of about one or two pieces of silver in his hand had been placed on the table.

He is a middle-aged man in his forties. When Li Yuanqing saw that he actually took out the silver, he could not help but frown and said, "my guest, this is too big. The shop only collects copper money. It can't be found."

Li Yuanqing smile, and took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, and put them on the table, "ha ha, I don't need you to look for it. I'm going to eat it with you at noon

Li Yuanqing said, one of the small silver naked son, pushed to the front of the second, "by the way, little second brother, ask you something."It's not much money to change the silver into copper money. He just wanted to collect it and give Li Yuanqing money. When he heard Li Yuanqing's words, he was stunned and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "is the second shopkeeper coming to eat with you at noon every day?"

The waiter couldn't keep up with Li Yuanqing's rhythm and said, "my guest, what's the second manager of the house you're talking about? The second shopkeeper of Baofeng hall often dines with me when he is on duty. "

Li Yuanqing smiles, "that's the end. Take all the silver. Cut me a few catties of cooked mutton, stir fry some small dishes, and warm a few pots of hot wine. At noon, I'll treat you here. "

With that, Li Yuanqing wanted to get up and leave.

The waiter couldn't help but frown and ran to Li Yuanqing in a hurry. "My guest, it's OK to fry a few dishes. But mutton and hot wine are not available in the shop

"Long winded. No, you're not going to buy it? Is there anything you can't do with money? " Li Yuanqing said, ignoring the waiter, he walked towards the slave market.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's back, Xiao Er shook his head.

Strange things happen every day, especially today. This master, can't it be what kind of horse and pole?

However, Li Yuanqing gave him almost two liang silver, and it was enough to arrange a big banquet. He could earn at least one or two silver for this meal, which could catch up with most of his monthly income.

Money can make the devil move the mill. The second mate dare not write, nor dare to offend Li Yuanqing. He goes to work in a hurry.

……

There was a lot of noise in the slave market. Although Li Yuanqing walked in, he did not leave the second brother. Seeing that he had gone to work, Li Yuanqing showed a slight smile.

It's not that Li Yuanqing deliberately makes a mystery in front of this little second brother. It's just that the next thing to do is not visible. Naturally, Li Yuanqing doesn't want to show too many traces.

If you treat people too well, you will be remembered.

After the hard "night trip", Li Yuanqing's total assets are about 120 Liang silver, leaving 20 Liang for the little girl and Liu Chunhua to live. The rest, Li Yuanqing is ready to invest in this business.

In fact, some things, for ordinary people, may be very difficult, difficult, even difficult to go to the sky. For example, making money.

But for people who are proficient in a certain field and reach a certain level, sometimes it is just a small matter. For example, the pharmaceutical industry

At this time, the sun was still in the East. It was about 9 o'clock. The lunch time of the second manager of Baofeng hall had to wait until at least 12:30. Li Yuanqing strolled around the slave market to see if he could get anything.

In this era, for too many ordinary people, being a slave is not an unacceptable thing.

After all, if you can be a slave in a big family, even if you have a miserable life, you can at least have a bite to eat, regardless of the thick and thin.

But if you mix outside, according to the current market, there is almost only one way, that is starvation.

"Uncle, look at my little girl. You don't think she is thin. She can do anything. She can do anything. I used to ask a fortune teller to calculate for her, and she will be designated to have a son later... "

Li Yuanqing had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by an old man with a wrinkled face. Behind him, there was a little girl of about eight or nine years old and three little boys of five or six or six or six or seven, huddled behind him, all dressed in single clothes and shivering in the cold wind.

Next to him, seeing the old man holding Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing's eyes showed the color of intolerance. In a moment, several old men and his mother-in-law surrounded him.

"Uncle, look at my girl. My girl is twelve, and she can serve people already... "

"Uncle..."

Li Yuanqing did not know what it was like in his heart. The chaotic times were coming, and people's lives were not as good as dogs.

"All right, all right. Don't make any noise."

Li Yuanqing pushed several people around him, "I'm not a good man. How can I have so much nonsense? Old man, how many girls do you want

Li Yuanqing pointed to the wrinkled old man's road.

The old man said, "uncle, my girl only wants to..."

He hesitated for a moment, bit his teeth and said, "as long as five Liang, five Liang silver, I will give her to you."

Next to him, the woman in her forties sneered: "Fifty Liang, old man, do you kill people? The little girl in your family doesn't know how many years' leisure food you have to eat. How can you sometimes serve her? Uncle, look at my girl. She is twelve and can serve you now. Please, buy her. I only need three Liang silver. The old lady will always remember your great kindness. "

She hugged Li Yuanqing's thigh and cried loudly.

Behind her, a little girl in her early ten years old, with bright big eyes, looked forward to but frightened at Li Yuanqing. It was heartbreaking.

Li Yuanqing did not know how to express his feelings.

In later generations, little girls at their age are not the apple of their parents' eyes? I wish it was in my mouth. I was afraid of falling when I held it in my hand. But nowBut when you look around, families like them, and you don't know how much

"Damn it, you beggars. I didn't look at the Yellow calendar when I went out today. Come on, I'm short of a few servant girls in my house. I'll take you and you. "

Li Yuanqing pointed to the two little girls, "come here, come to my uncle."

Two little girls, one is only eight or nine years old, and the other is in her early ten years old. They are not twelve years old as her mother said.

At this time, hear Li Yuanqing's words, the two little girls are in situ, at a loss.

But their father and mother were overjoyed. They pushed their daughters to Li Yuanqing in a hurry, kowtowed to Li Yuanqing and said, "master, you are really the Avalokitesvara who saves the suffering. Daughter, kowtow to me. In the future, we should serve you well. "

The old man also tried to kowtow, tears Shua Shua down.

Although they all only needed three Liang silver in the end, Li Yuanqing still gave them five Liang each. After all, Li Yuanqing's ability was limited at this time, and he had done his best.

Two little niangs are like two little followers. They follow Li Yuanqing, expecting and panicking.

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to go to the big shop inside, but with these two little followers, he could only give up the idea.

He led the two girls back to the dumpling stand. Li Yuanqing asked his mother-in-law to order a bowl of wonton for each of the two girls. He warmed up some meat pancakes and asked them to fill their stomachs first.

"Eat it. Don't be afraid. " Different from treating their parents, Li Yuanqing's tone towards the two little girls is much softer.

"Thank you, thank you." The older girl took the lead and picked up the chopsticks carefully.

The younger one saw this and said, "thank you, thank you."

Finish saying, also picked up chopsticks, carefully ate up.
