Chapter 655
A little good thought
The old man's hair and beard are all white, but his eyes are bright and his eyes are clear like a strong man.
He was dressed in rags and the yard was dirty. As he opened the door, an indescribable odor appeared in the room, and there were also many odors on him.
Not smelly, but it smells bad.
The breath of various herbs mixed together, and Hu San almost vomited out the lunch.
Considering that the meal was good at lunch, the Hu brothers forcibly resisted the urge to vomit, moved to the side, stretched out their arms and handed the roast chicken to the old man.
The old man didn't answer, his hands were pitch black.
"Have you made money from my charcoal coptis chili?" The old man looked at the oil-paper bag of roast chicken, then looked at the excited faces of the Hu brothers, and asked while scooping water to wash his hands.
"Yes." Hu Er smiled.
"How did you cheat?" the old man asked.
Hu Er: "Brother-in-law, you speak so badly. How do you call a cheat? The people from the Divine Doctor Pavilion gave us... No, your Coptis chinensis has been awarded a grade-level award."
The old man paused his hands and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Divine Doctor Pavilion? Who is the manager?"
Hu Erwei was about to talk nonsense, but his brother stepped on him.
"It's not the Divine Doctor Pavilion, the father-in-law, but a little lady." Hu Sandao.
The old man washed his hands and sat down to eat roast chicken. The Hu brothers told the old man about all the experiences he had encountered today.
They specifically talked about Manager Wang's respect for the young lady, and thought the father-in-law would ask. Unexpectedly, the old man listened to their words and said for a while: "Drawings."
"ah?"
"Drawings." The old man repeated.
Hu San quickly took out the drawings from his arms.
The plants drawn on paper are very attentive. Their special parts are marked in small words.
But the old man looked at the paper repeatedly.
"Brother-in-law, is there anything wrong with this thing?" Hu San was careful.
If the old man said he could not go on this trip, they would not go.
Their brothers have been traveling through the mountains and forests over the years, digging some herbs back according to the old man's instructions. After the old man's preparation, they took them to the market to sell.
The old man would instruct them to ask them for a price that was far higher than the market price. They would use their tongues to make the medicinal materials so scattered.
Those who buy medicine are often outsiders or strangers.
Acquaintances know that they are gangsters and will not be fooled.
What’s strange is that those who buy their medicinal herbs never turn back and cause trouble for them, even if the price is ridiculously high. Of course, they won’t turn back and find them to buy them again.
They rely on the old man's ability to make fake things and their ability to fool them, and their life is pretty good, at least they can eat and wear and drink.
Now they are going to enter the mountain again, so they naturally have to ask the old man.
"The paper is too white, the handwriting is too thin." After reading it, the old man gave Hu San, "I have never seen such a thing before. I guess he is extremely rich."
Hu San: "…what about this Sanqi?"
"The book has not been recorded, and I don't know the efficacy. This deal is cost-effective. I will dig it back and bring me three plants, and I will give it thirty taels." The old man said, "You go."
The Hu brothers stood up and said goodbye.
The old man did not stop them from going, which means that this transaction can be done.
After looking at the paper repeatedly, the old man felt that the paper was more than one hundred taels, so the girl was rich and was definitely not playing with the Hu brothers.
The Hu brothers went and he went back to his pharmacy.
"...You said, how old is the father-in-law?" Hu Er suddenly asked his younger brother.
Hu San: "It's over sixty."
"It doesn't look like it, it looks a bit like it's over forty." Hu Er said, "The skin on his hands is spotted, but there is no one on his face. Those eyes are not turbid at all."
Hu San: "What do you care about him? He is a weird person, but he is very good to you and my brothers."
Hu Er agreed with this.
In the early years, the two brothers went to the market in the countryside near the capital and made a fancy medicinal herbs to sell.
An old woman was dressed in a torn dress. She heard that they brag about the efficacy of herbal medicines and said that her grandson was just right for her to buy it.
Others advised: "These two children are cheating, not selling medicine."
The old woman was obsessed with it and insisted on buying it.
She said: "This morning, two puppies ran past. After responding to this hexagram, my grandson is probably going to be ready."
The Hu brothers were twelve years old at that time. They were dressed in rags and were very greedy. They would be hungry if they didn't eat a meal.
After cheating for a while, the two of them tricked such a woman. They sold the medicinal materials and exchanged them for twelve cents to buy two meat buns and two oil and salt sesame cakes to fill the meal.
The old man was just a little weird at the time, and his clothes were pretty normal, and he was watching silently.
Then he saw the Hu brothers catching up with the old woman and secretly stuffed the money back to his back basket.
Seeing that the two brothers were so hungry that they looked around for something to eat, the old man deliberately asked them: "If the cooperation is appropriate, it will not be a problem to steal a few pancakes, why don't you two do it?"
Brothers Hu: "We cheat, but we don't steal."
This was what their mother grabbed the hands of the two ten-year-old children when she was dying and asked them to agree.
My mother died and my sister got married far away. My father knew how to live a day. Sometimes they were so hungry that they couldn't sleep all night, but they never thought about stealing.
The old man bought meat buns for them and ordered two more bowls of noodles.
After meeting, the old man went to the capital; the Hu brothers wandered around and met the old man in the capital again.
The old man saw that they were very familiar with the medicine market, and after asking, he asked them to go to his house every five days, and he would give them some medicinal herbs: "You can only cheat more money by saying this."
The Hu brothers took the medicinal materials given by the old man and went to the medicine market to stroll.
They don't steal, they are clean, and the people at the market can tolerate them.
After surviving in the past few years, I can have enough food every day, which is very rare. You should know that in this era, people who are serious about farming and working may not be able to have enough food.
The Hu brothers regarded the old man as a relative, but his place was too bad to smell and it was inconvenient to stay.
The old man would also give them some medicine powder. After taking them into the forest three times, he would often ask them to dig some medicines to the forest.
In the past five years, the Hu brothers have gone through the mountains and forests and visited the market, and have changed from two gangsters to two gangsters.
The Hu brothers went to another place to help Xue Mei find Sanqi; Xue Mei himself became enemies with the Gan family.
She didn't know about this at first, but Xiuzhu reminded her.
"...Miss, have you offended the Gan family? The Gan family originally ordered perfume, but they returned it to their door." Xiuzhu said, "It's not that I can't afford this little money."
Xue Mei: "It doesn't seem to be there either. Is Gan so stingy? We have met Mr. Gan Liu several times and are a little unhappy with him."
"Miss, the third lady of the Gan family is Princess Ji. This sixth son is the younger brother of Princess Ji's mother and is very domineering." Xiu Zhu said.
