Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

The autumn frost was cold, and Ji Cheng tightened his clothes and said: "My family really has no shortage of food. Listen to the elder brother and go home quickly. If you catch a cold, your mother will spend money to buy medicine for you again."

In fact, Ji Tang has been thinking about it for the past two days, his cousin's family has no grain, but his mother is always at home these two days, so he can't secretly give the grain to his cousin's family.

Not long after he came out of the bed, he also felt very cold. He has been in poor health since he was a child, and if there is any trouble, he will definitely get sick. Hearing what Ji Cheng said, I suddenly felt how terrible it was for his mother to grab the medicine. He said: "Brother, if...if it is."

"If you can't solve the problem, I'll go find you," Ji Cheng said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back."

"Oh," Ji Tang looked a little disappointed.Seeing him walking away, Yang Huai said, "Why does he eat himself like this, like a pig that will be slaughtered at the end of the year."

Jitang has been sick since he was a child, and when his uncle passed away, Tian Shufen was left with only this child, who naturally doted on her like an eyeball, maybe because Jitang's stomach is too good, he gradually absorbed into this appearance.

Ji Cheng kicked Yang Huai and said, "How are you talking?"

Yang Huai pursed her mouth and said nothing, she was as fat as a pig.

Xu Erkui drove an ox cart back and forth between the village and the city every day, and worked as a bookkeeper in the restaurant in the town during the day, so that it would be convenient for neighbors to pull people and goods in the morning and evening.

The toll is charged per person, no matter how much the goods are, everyone is paid a penny, and he is the only one in the village who works in the city, and works as the accountant in the restaurant. This kind of idleness, not enterprising.

If it wasn't for Yang Huai standing by the roadside, he wouldn't even look at Ji Cheng. He raised his eyebrows and mocked, "Hey, Ji Daxiu is going to exchange knowledge in Hualou again."

......

Ji Cheng got on the bullock cart, and said with a cheeky smile: "Brother Erkui is right, I haven't seen Yingyue girl for a long time, and I just wrote a poem yesterday and wanted to show it to her."

Xu Erkui couldn't see his unmotivated appearance, and wished to drive him away with the bullwhip. He taught him a lesson: "If you have a husband, you don't know how to live a good life, and you still miss those Yingyingyanyans. Is that where a good person should go? Are you doing this right to your parents?"

When this count fell down, Ji Cheng's ears were almost itchy, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Erkui taught you politely, Ah Cheng will write it down."

In the past, this person was the most able to use fallacies to make excuses. Why did he give up so quickly today? Xu Erkui said dryly for a while: "One person, one penny, no money to get out of the car."

A penny is enough to hold back a hero. If it turned out that Ji Cheng really had a pocket cleaner than his face, he would not be afraid now. He pressed Yang Huai who was about to pay, and handed another copper coin to Xu Erkui, saying, "Work hard Erkui!" Take us to the city."

During the busy autumn harvest season, no one went to the city, and there were only three of them in the ox cart. The ox cart bumped regularly, and soon Yang Huai and Ji Cheng fell asleep leaning against each other.

When they arrived in the city at the appointed night time, Ji Cheng and the others separated from Xu Erkui. Yang Huai came to the city when his father was still alive, and his brother Yang Yong usually came to the city to buy medicine.

The Qiang people have been completely defeated, and the merchants in the city have reopened their doors, and the hustle and bustle of the past has resumed. Both sides of the main street are full of hawkers selling various goods.

They turned around the main street and came to a medical hall. The medical hall was quite lively. The doctors sitting in the hall were concentrating on taking the pulse, and a few medicine boys were grabbing medicine packs to sell to the patients. Everything was busy and orderly.

This is the largest medical clinic in Yuzhou City, "Heji Hall."

"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. We want to see the shopkeeper of Hejitang. Please pass it on to me." Ji Cheng stopped a busy drug boy and saluted.

Both of them were dressed in shabby clothes and carried big baskets on their backs. They were in good health. They didn't look like doctors, but farmers outside the city. The medicine boy replied, "Are you two here to sell medicinal materials?"

"Yes and no," Ji Cheng said.

yes or no?The drug boy didn't understand what Ji Cheng meant, he said: "Our Hejitang's medicinal materials are supplied by specialized drug dealers, if you two want to sell medicinal materials, you can go to some smaller drug stores and try."

Yang Huai who was next to him was already nervous enough, this drug was about the same size as him when he was young, yet he was so powerful.His family's rice vat is almost at the bottom, if the big python can't be sold, what will happen to the money for the medicine, the medicine can't be broken for a day.

"I'm afraid ordinary small pharmacies won't accept the things we want to sell, so please pass them on to me." Ji Cheng patted Yang Huai's shoulder to comfort him.

Seeing that the two were so persistent, Yaotong said helplessly: "I'll go to pass the news first, but if the shopkeeper doesn't want to meet the two of you, then go back."

"Thank you, brother. He should be willing to see the one who handed this over to the shopkeeper." Ji Cheng handed the handkerchief to Yaotong.

Yang Huai said anxiously, "Brother Ah Cheng, what did you bring him?"

"A small piece of snake skin," Ji Cheng said.

"Ah, Brother Ah Cheng has a solution," Yang Huai's heart sank slightly when he mentioned it.

The shopkeeper of the medical hall didn't keep them waiting at all, and came out of the inner hall in a hurry. The old shopkeeper was over [-] years old and his body was strong. He looked at Ji Cheng with eyes that seemed to be shining. He suppressed his excitement and said: "Just now The things in it belong to this little brother?"

"It's next," Ji Cheng saluted, "This is Yang Huai, my younger brother from the same village."

Yang Huai was still young after all, so he greeted him very jerkyly, "The shopkeeper... is good"

"Okay," the shopkeeper said, "Hurry up, two little brothers, please ask the inner hall to talk."

"The little copper lock serves tea," the shopkeeper said enthusiastically, "Please sit down quickly, both of you."

Just now when the medicine boy told him that there were two countrymen outside who came to sell medicinal materials, he didn't care. He just dismissed them. There are too many farmers who go to the medical hall to sell medicine every year.

Their method of collecting medicines is improper, and the quality of the medicines is also uneven. A large medical center like them cannot collect such scattered medicines. Generally, they send them to small medicine shops in the city. Although the price is not high, But it is also a good income for farmers.

At the moment when he opened the veil, he couldn't believe what he saw, the python skin was about to grow into a linden, I beg you, this must be at least a 200-year-old giant python to have such a linden pattern.

"My surname is Xu, the shopkeeper of Hejitang." The shopkeeper Xu said: "Dare to ask the two brothers, where did you get the things in the handkerchief just now?"

"To tell you the truth, shopkeeper Xu, this thing is a corner of a giant python skin deep in the mountains," Ji Cheng said. "My two brothers originally wanted to go up the mountain to collect medicine for my sick old mother, but my younger brother strayed into the mountain because of his fun, and met this giant python that wanted to swallow me, but this giant python didn't know what kind of beast it was fighting with. I have already been seriously injured, so my brothers took advantage of it."

"Where is that giant python?" Shopkeeper Xu stared at the two of them's back baskets.

"It's right here," Ji Cheng took off Yang Huai's pannier and said, "Take a look, shopkeeper Xu."

Each one was thicker than the mouth of a bowl, and the forearm-long snake meat was packed in the back basket. Xu Chang was terrified at the first glance. This boy is amazing.

You must know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention this kind of giant python that has survived for hundreds of years. Looking at Ji Cheng's neck and face with injuries, shopkeeper Xu couldn't imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.

Shopkeeper Xu suppressed his shock and asked, "Is it all here?"

"It's the same in this pannier," Ji Cheng replied, "The pannier is too small and I can only bring a part of it, and the rest are at home."

"Okay, okay," Shopkeeper Xu repeatedly praised, "What do you want your mother to do if you have a son, if you two have an accident in the deep mountains, if your mother can survive, she will never go to the deep mountains to take risks in the future. I want all your snake meat, but the snake gall is still there."

"Don't worry about it, kid," Ji Cheng opened his pannier, and handed the snake gall to shopkeeper Xu.

The guts of this giant python are extremely precious, even though they are not top-notch, they are hard to find in the market.The profits brought by these python gall and python meat are immeasurable.

"I'll give you 50 taels of python gall." Shopkeeper Xu said, "Python meat is four hundred and five yuan a catty. What do you guys think of this price?"

It's not that he deliberately lowered the price. The python gall is precious, but it will take a long time to see the profit after investing 50 taels.

Yang Huai was already on the sidelines, 50 taels!He never imagined that a single snake gall could be sold for so much money. When eating pheasant yesterday, he wondered if the snake meat tasted like chicken, and did the most valuable snake gall taste like chicken liver?

He never expected it to be so valuable.

"But," Ji Cheng ignored Yang Huai, who had already been fooled by the money, and said, "I'm going to trouble shopkeeper Xu to weigh it."

They carried a total of 130 catties of snake meat, a total of 58 taels to five hundred wen. Shopkeeper Xu directly gave 59 taels, plus 50 taels of snake gall, a total of [-] taels, not counting the remaining snake meat at home .

When he left the hospital, Yang Huai hadn't recovered from the shock. He walked like he had no heels, floating back and forth. Ji Cheng patted his face vigorously and said, "Wake up, wake up."

"Brother Ah Cheng, I'm not dreaming." Yang Huai still couldn't believe that a snake could be sold for so much money, and he would no longer have to worry about money for his mother's medicine. He said, "Hit me."

Hehe, that's a good request, Ji Cheng smiled sinisterly, and pinched Yang Huai's creaking nest hard.The pain in the flesh brought Yang Huai back to his senses in an instant, and he jumped up with a groan!

Pedestrians around were startled by his voice, they all looked sideways, and some scolded: "Crazy."

"Brother Ah Cheng, what are you doing?" Yang Huai burst into tears of pain.

"Don't you tell me to beat you?" Ji Cheng walked leisurely to see if there were any novelties for Brother Lin to buy back.

Ji Cheng took the mahogany hairpin on the stall to look at it and felt that it was not worthy of his Brother Lin, then put it down and said, "If I beat you, can you bear it? I will pinch you and watch you howl like a pig on the chopping board." Same."
