On the second morning, before the sound of cockcrows completely dispelled the silence of the night, Lin Kunlun and the two brothers Lin Shi and Lin Shui hurriedly washed up. The three of them sat around the simple dining table, drank a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, and then each of them carried a heavy backpack and set off on the rugged mountain road to Kaoshan Town.

The mountain road was winding, sometimes steep, sometimes flat, and the three brothers, Lin Kunlun, supported each other and moved forward with difficulty. Although Lin Kunlun was young and strong, the herbs and furs in his backpack were not light, and under the scorching sun, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

After nearly two hours of trekking, they finally arrived at Kaoshan Town. At this moment, the sun was high in the sky, and the golden sunlight was all over the earth, but it could not dispel the anxiety in Lin Kunlun's heart. Although the town was small, the shops, houses and grocery stores on both sides of the street looked dilapidated, which was obviously the impact of the drought.

Lin Kunlun looked around and saw that the vendors were haggard and there were few goods on the stalls. He couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart, but thinking of the plight of his family, he gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to walk towards an open space.

He took out the items from the backpack one by one and placed them neatly. The herbs exuded a faint fragrance, and the two processed pheasants and the skins were soft and smooth. Lin Kunlun took a deep breath and began to shout loudly, hoping to attract the attention of passers-by.

However, there were not many people in the town, and most of them looked sad. It was obvious that the drought had made their lives extremely difficult. Lin Kunlun's shouting echoed in the empty streets, but did not attract many people to stop.

Lin Kunlun was not discouraged. He knew that doing business requires patience and perseverance. He also started from scratch in modern society! At the beginning, he relied on information asymmetry to wholesale clothes and the like from coastal cities and sell them in inland cities! So he was very experienced in setting up stalls. He continued to shout, while observing the expressions and behaviors of passers-by, hoping to find potential buyers.

At this time, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked into the town. His appearance immediately attracted Lin Kunlun's attention. The man looked extraordinary and was obviously a wealthy man in the town. Lin Kunlun's heart moved, and he hurriedly went forward and enthusiastically introduced his goods.

"Sir! I can tell at first glance that you are a wealthy and powerful person! Take these leathers back and make some scarves, gloves and the like that will definitely be worthy of your status!" Lin Kunlun said to the middle-aged man with a smile.

"You skinned this hide very well! There are no wounds on it. It seems that the person who hunted this hide was an expert!" said the middle-aged man while stroking the only deerskin.

"To be honest! This deerskin was given to me by a friend! If it weren't for the drought this year that has left my family starving, I wouldn't have sold it." Lin Kunlun used the tricks commonly used in street vendors to tell a story.

"How much do I want in total for this deerskin and these rabbit skins!" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Lin Kunlun really didn't know the price of these leathers. He thought for a moment and said.

"Boss, you can see that this deerskin is very complete without any damage! How about this, this deerskin and these rabbit skins, how about one tael of silver?" Lin Kun asked tentatively. You know, from the original owner's memory, one tael of silver is one thousand coins. And one coin can buy a wheat cake. So the purchasing power of one tael of silver is still very strong.

"Haha! That's good! I'll take these skins!" The middle-aged man said with a smile. At the same time, he threw out a tael of silver. Lin Kunlun caught the tael of silver very quickly.

In fact, he knew very well that if he took this kind of skin, especially the deerskin, to the county town or a larger city, he would have to pay more. But he didn't have that much time, and he couldn't go there for the time being, because it was such a long distance.

"I wonder if you still have such leather! If you still have, you can send it to Xuji Grocery Store! If you have it, I will buy it back at a high price!" The middle-aged man picked up the leather and asked with a smile. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was. These leathers were obviously nitrated with a special method. Otherwise, these leathers would not be able to be stored for long.

"I don't know what the boss's name is! If I have leather, I will definitely come to you!" Lin Kunlun replied with a smile. It seems that this middle-aged man took advantage and wanted to further the transaction. But Lin Kunlun certainly would not push him out. If the leather can get a good price in the future, he will sell it. When he can't sell it, he can find this middle-aged man. The Xuji Grocery Store opened by this middle-aged man is also the largest grocery store in the surrounding area.

"Can you just call me Lao Xu? I see you have some herbs and two pheasants here! No one will buy these things even if you put them here! After all, the harvest has been bad in the past two years! Not many people can afford to buy chickens! See that Shunfeng Restaurant in front? You can take the chicken there and try to sell it for a good price!" Lao Xu smiled and pointed to the largest restaurant in the town.

Lin Kunlun smiled and thanked him. At the same time, he felt that it would take too much time to wait here. It would be better to go to the restaurant and try it out.

"Thank you, Boss Xu! I'll try it right away!"

Lin Kunlun was putting away the things he had displayed. Seeing that Lin Kunren had sold those skins so quickly, Lin Shi and Lin Shui could not help but happily help Lin Kunlun put away his things.

"Young man! Are you selling these herbs?" Lin Kunlun suddenly heard someone ask at this time.

He looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard standing there, pointing at the herbs on the ground and asked.

"Yes! Old man, are you planning to buy some?" Lin Kunlun asked respectfully.

"Yes!" the old man nodded.

"Then what do you need?" Lin Kunlun asked.

"Haha! I need all the herbs here! These herbs are obviously wild from the mountains! And they are all quite old!" said the old man with a smile.

Lin Kunlun looked at the old man in front of him.

"Old man, you have a good eye! We picked these herbs from the mountains! Each herb is old enough, and we left the tender ones on the mountain!"

The old man stroked his goatee and said with a smile.

"I can tell! How about this, if you have any herbs in the future, just send them to Baicaotang! As long as the herbs are good, I'll take them all!"

"Are you Doctor Zhang from the Baicao Group? Great! Five hundred coins, deal! I'll pack it up for you first!" Lin Kunlun said after thinking for a while.

The old man looked at the medicine tied with grass in Lin Kunlun's hand, smiled and nodded.

"These herbs can only be found deep in the mountains! My old bones can't go up the mountain! I'll have to trouble you in the future!" The old man said with a smile after paying the money!

"Doctor Zhang! Don't worry! In the future, as long as I have herbs, I will send them to you! But now the drought is getting more and more serious, and many herbs are difficult to survive even in the mountains!" Lin Kunlun said with a sigh.

"Who said it wasn't! The drought has continued for two consecutive years because I'm afraid that if it continues, people will really starve to death! There might also be a plague or something like that! That's why I want to prepare more herbal medicines!" Doctor Zhang said while stroking his beard.

"Doctor Zhang, is it really possible that there is a plague?" Lin Kunlun's face changed when he heard it. As a person in modern society, he has not experienced the so-called ancient plague. But when an epidemic breaks out in modern society, even with such advanced medicine, many people die. It is conceivable how terrible the plague was in ancient times.

"According to medical records, there is usually a plague after a disaster! Not only can people not survive after a disaster, many animals can't survive either! A lot of animal carcasses can cause plague!" The old man sighed, picked up his things and left. In fact, even if a plague really happened, a doctor like him would not be able to play a big role.

Lin Kunlun looked at the background of him leaving, but he was shocked. If there was really a plague, in this era of lack of medical care and medicine, how could he survive? But now the most important thing is to find a way to make money and store more food to prepare for the next drought.
