Chapter 008 [Liangzhou County](1/2)
Liangshan Village bullies too much.
The big man in Fangjiazhuang's eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to go to Liangshan Village to seek justice immediately.
The mountain seller risked his life to go to the mountain to collect ginseng, and also hoped to go to the county town to sell for a good price to exchange for food and clothing for winter.
If ginseng cannot be sold, people in Fangjiazhuang will be hungry and frozen when the snow is blocked in winter.
These young and strong men can still survive.
The elderly and children in the village are afraid it will be difficult for them to survive this winter.
Originally, the ginseng that the Shankekes had been sold to major medicine shops in Liangzhou County.
The shopkeeper bought ginseng from Fangshanke at a low price, and sold it several times the money to the dignitaries, and even took a kickback.
In the end, the money that Fangshanke got was only enough to keep his food and clothing.
But the people in Fangjiazhuang had no other way. In Liangzhou County, the only medicine shop had the ability to buy the ginseng they had in their hands.
However, now, various pharmacies dare not accept their ginseng.
If ginseng cannot be sold, it will be very sad this year.
"Liangshan Village did not dare to rob it openly in the county town, so it threatened the pharmacy not to accept our ginseng, which made us desperate and sold the ginseng to them." Fang Xiaokun looked worried. Yesterday, the people from Liangshan Village asked him to take this batch of ginseng, but the price prescribed was 70% lower than that of the pharmacy.
He cut his heel with one knife.
It is even more evil than the black-hearted shopkeeper who takes kickbacks in the pharmacy.
If you really want to sell ginseng to Liangshanzhai at this price, the money you get is not enough to buy food.
When winter comes, many people in Fangjiazhuang will still starve to death.
The passengers who let the mountain go in a dilemma, just like a fat sheep left to be slaughtered by Liangshan Village.
"How many, are the heroes of Fangjiazhuang?"
Suddenly, a young voice came from beside him.
Fang Xiaokun and Fang Xiaoshan looked curiously and saw a young Taoist priest wearing a water and fire robe looking at them with a smile.
The most unprovoked people in the world are monks, Taoists, old men and children.
The young Taoist priest in front of him seemed ordinary, and he didn't know which immortal he was.
The man from Fangjiazhuang did not dare to underestimate him and bowed to Chen Bafang: "This little Taoist priest, we are indeed from Fangjiazhuang, and I don't know what it costs to do."
"A few months ago, I was practicing in the mountains and met several heroes who claimed to be Fangjiazhuang. It's a pity..."
Chen Bafang told the story of the mountain tourists being killed by the mountain ladies, and the part of the spiritual ginseng was hidden.
The ginseng has been cut into slices by Chen Bafang and soaked in rock sugar and wolfberry water and drunk into his stomach.
It's impossible to spit it out again.
Just pretend nothing happened.
Upon hearing this, a sad look flashed in Fang Xiaokun's eyes.
Every time people from Fangjiazhuang enter the mountain to collect ginseng, they risk their lives. From time to time, there are tourists who often disappear when collecting ginseng, and most of them die in the mountains.
They have become accustomed to this.
What made Fang Xiaokun feel frightened was that the square-faced man actually met the mountain lady.
Shan Po is a very terrifying monster in the mountains.
It is basically impossible for a mountain guest to survive when he meets a mountain lady in the mountains. The mountain civilians killed by the mountain lady cannot even find their entire body.
Shan Po, who has a deep knowledge of Taoism, will also attack mountain villages, slaughter mountain people, and devour flesh and blood.
He once saw a small mountain village being blood-stained by a mountain woman, and all the villagers were killed. The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.
When Fang Xiaokun learned that Shan Po was killed by Chen Bafang, he was a little unbelievable.
Chen Bafang is too young. Apart from being handsome, he is ordinary, and does not look like a master with successful practice.
In any case, the man from Fangjiazhuang was still very grateful to hear that Chen Bafang had buried the body of the Shanke.
"Thank you, Master."
"I have another thing to do when I come to find someone." Chen Bafang calmed down and said, "I want to buy ginseng. I want all the amount you have on your hands."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaokun and the man in Fangjiazhuang around him were both surprised.
As soon as Chen Bafang opened his mouth, he wanted to buy all the ginseng in their hands?
What does he want so many ginseng for? Do he eat it as a meal?
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not threatening to repay kindness, I won't treat you badly at the price."
As he said that, Chen Bafang took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.
One mistake can bring wisdom.
This time he did not take out all the money to avoid jealousy.
Fang Xiaokun thought for a while and said honestly: "Master Xiao, we brought a lot of ginseng this time, and it may not be enough if you want to buy all of them."
It’s not that Fang Xiaokun underestimates Chen Bafang.
Ginseng is expensive.
This year, Fangjiazhuang has a great harvest and has harvested many excellent ginseng.
It is indeed a bit difficult to wrap all the ginseng in the silver in Chen Bafang's hand.
After a rough calculation, I bought at most ten high-quality ginseng for 800 taels of silver.
Fangjiazhuang can give him another ginseng for Chen Bafang's grace to bury the mountain guest.
These ginsengs can be brought back to the real world, and they can also be sold for three or four hundred yuan. However, in Xin'an City, where housing prices are booming, it is far from achieving financial freedom.
Some real estate projects in Xin'an City have a unit price of 20 per square meter.
One toilet costs millions.
It's simply outrageous.
"I have limited money on hand, so I don't know if I can exchange materials for ginseng." Chen Bafang said tentatively.
Fang Xiaokun was stunned and nodded subconsciously: "Of course this is OK."
Then it will be easy.
Chen Bafang rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I don't know what Fangjiazhuang needs."
Fang Xiaokun thought for a while and said, "What the most needed in the farm is naturally the food for winter."
When it comes to food issues, the man in Fangjiazhuang is not very good-looking.
"This year, the locust plagues in Liangzhou are frequent, and the people are not harvested, and the world is difficult. The shopkeepers of several grain shops in Liangzhou County jointly hoarded grain and set the price on the ground. In the past, they could buy the grain needed for Fangjiazhuang for the winter with just a little money, but now it has increased tenfold."
"These profiteers deserve to die!"
Fang Xiaoshan's eyes were filled with fire, and he wanted to kill the shopkeeper of the grain shop who had been on the ground with a knife.
However, several large grain stores in Liangzhou County were supported by the government, and even Liangshan Village did not dare to grab grain.
"If the Taoist priest has food on his hands, it can also be used to replace ginseng."
Although that's the case, the people in Fangjiazhuang do not expect Chen Bafang to take out so much food.
The county of Liangzhou was plagued by locusts within a radius of 100 miles, and it was impossible to receive food.
Even if Chen Bafang is a master of enlightenment, he cannot make a difference out of nothing.
"One word is determined."
Hearing Fang Xiaokun's answer, Chen Bafang's eyes suddenly lit up.
It was not difficult for the people in Fangjiazhuang to get food.
There is a RT-Mart supermarket downstairs in Chen Bafang's house.
There is nothing short of food, rice, oil and salt.
It takes some effort to transport these things to the world in the pot.
Chen Bafang had already tested that as long as it was something he could hold, he could carry it into the world of the pot.
But I can only get the same one at a time.
The man from Fangjiazhuang was stunned at that time.
"Master Xiao, do you really have a way to get food? Wouldn't you go to rob the official granary, right?"
Chen Bafang said mysteriously: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, you will know then."
Seeing that this Taoist priest was so confident, Fang Xiaokun didn't say anything.
Anyway, the people from Fangjiazhuang have to stay in Liangzhou County for a few days, and it will be fine when the time comes.
To be continued...
