The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 129 Half the consultation fee, half the deposit

Originally, Li Changqing thought that anyone who could think of using Tianxiang You Epiphyllum to treat Qu Wuyi must know the characteristics of Tian Xiang You Epiphyllum.

But from what Bai Xiaosheng said, it seemed that the doctor Bai Xiaosheng was looking for only had a superficial understanding of Tianxiang You Epiphyllum.

If this were not the case, he would not have said that Tian Xiang You Epiphyllum was of no use to the problems within Qu Wu Yi's body.

Regarding this, Li Changqing thought for a while and then said: "Tianxiang You Epiphyllum is rare. It is not surprising that the doctor the senior found does not know the other uses of Tianxiang You Epiphyllum."

With that said, Li Changqing asked Huang Rong to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After a while, as the prescription that had not yet completely dried on the ink fell into Bai Xiaosheng's hands, Li Changqing said: "I will deal with Tianxiang You Epiphyllum during this period. The above are other needed medicines. Wait until After the seniors have sent the remaining medicines, I will mix them with Tianxiang Euphyllum to refine the medicine and then treat Miss Qu."

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the prescription, and finally his eyes fell on the five unique medicines below.

"The above are the prescriptions used to treat memorylessness. Are the following five types of medicines required for shopkeeper Li to pay for the diagnosis?"

Li Changqing shook his head and said: "Half the consultation fee, half the deposit."

"Deposit?"

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Huang Xuemei at the next table, and then focused on Li Changqing.

"Shopkeeper Li wants to question the people behind the eyeliners in Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen."

Li Changqing said without hesitation: "No."

After coming to a conclusion, Li Changqing said slowly: "Since we have made advance arrangements to arrange spies in Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen, there will definitely be further actions."

"Sooner or later, we will know who the spy is in Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen."

"In that case, why should I be in such a hurry?"

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Li Changqing with interest and said, "Shopkeeper Li is very confident."

Li Changqing smiled noncommittally and said: "It's not that I'm confident, but it's rare to meet seniors and I just thought of a longer-term business. After comparing it, I felt that compared to the current business, I know that behind the Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen A person’s identity is not that important,”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Li Changqing picked up the garlic peanuts in the bamboo basket and peeled them open while saying: "A piece of news, an opportunity to rescue,"

"Of course, the consultation fee is calculated separately."

Bai Xiaosheng asked: "What news?"

Li Changqing threw the peanut kernels into his mouth and said calmly: "Anything is fine, as long as it is news that seniors think I will be more concerned about."

Listening to Li Changqing's answer, the smile on Bai Xiaosheng's face became even wider.

"Shopkeeper Li's deal is quite interesting. No wonder he is not anxious to know the identity of the person behind Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen."

According to what Li Changqing said, as long as it is news that Li Changqing cares about, it can be used as part of the transaction between Bai Xiaosheng and Li Changqing.

The people who had spies in Yihua Palace and Tianlong Gate were naturally news that Li Changqing was concerned about.

At the same time, Li Changqing also successfully turned a one-time transaction into a long-term transaction.

Li Changqing smiled slightly and said, "It's interesting. It depends on whether senior is interested."

"If you're not interested, just fill in the other half of the consultation fee for the prescription just now."

"If the business fails, at least there will be benevolence and righteousness."

Bai Xiaosheng did not respond to Li Changqing in a hurry, but looked at Li Changqing as if he was observing Li Changqing.

After a few breaths, Bai Xiaosheng said: "If Mr. Li is a businessman, I am afraid his achievements will not be lower than Wan San Qian."

Li Changqing waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'm too tired after hearing the news. I don't have much ambition, so I'd better just stick to this tavern."

"In my free time, I feel more comfortable drinking, playing chess, and chatting with people like my senior."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "It is indeed more comfortable to have half a day of free life."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaosheng drank all the wine in the cup, took out an ingot of gold from his arms and placed it on the table.

"I heard from Wan Sanqian that I can keep accounts here, so I can trouble you to write them down for me."

Li Changqing smiled and said, "Okay!"

After hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng nodded and signaled, then slowly stood up and walked outside with Qu Wuyi.

After Bai Xiaosheng and Qu Wuyi also left, Li Changqing slowly stretched his body.

After a series of twists and turns, the time has also reached Youshi.

The wind and snow outside also started to get a little heavier.

Looking outside from the window, it was completely white.

Now, if an ordinary person walks on the street, he may step on it and sink into the fluffy snow below his knees.

After glancing at the agarwood box containing Tianxiang Epiphyllum on the table, Li Changqing said to Zhou Yong at the door: "The snow is getting heavier. After cleaning it, let's close early today!"

At the end, Li Changqing said smoothly: "If you want to in the future, after closing time, you can also make a pot of wine with peanuts and drink it back to warm yourself up."

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Zhou Yong at the door nodded and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

"Ok!"

After responding aloud, Li Changqing slowly stood up, handed the wooden box to Huang Rong, and walked toward the back door of the tavern.

Zhou Yong picked up the wine flask, drank all the few wine in it, and then started to clean up the tavern.

The inner court.

After adding dry firewood to the stove that already had some charcoal fire, and when the flames in the stove began to grow strong, Huang Rong glanced at the wooden box on the table and asked: "I just heard what Bai Xiaosheng said, this Tianxiang Epiphyllum is a variant of the Tianxiang cardamom flower. Doesn’t this Tianxiang cardamom flower refer to the extinct thing?”

Li Changqing said softly: "Yes, the fruit of the Tianxiang cardamom flower is the Tianxiang cardamom that is almost extinct now."

Huang Xuemei on the side suddenly said: "Although I have heard of the Tianxiang cardamom flower before, this is the first time I have heard of the Tianxiang Epiphyllum."

Li Changqing explained: "The Tianxiang cardamom flower is unique. If the Tianxiang cardamom is still a seed, specific medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma are ground and mixed into the soil as fertilizer to cultivate it. After the Tianxiang cardamom takes root and sprouts, it will have the opportunity to grow into a mature flower." The fragrance of the sky is like night-blooming night-blooming flowers."

"It's just that the cultivation method is unique and few people in the world know it."

Huang Rong asked: "Since it's special, is there any difference between Tianxiang Epiphyllum and Tianxiang Cardamom?"

Li Changqing nodded and said, "Of course."

"Cardamom has unique medicinal properties and contains a lot of vitality, so it can bring the dead back to life."

"And the medicinal properties are extremely strong. The medicinal effect of a piece of heavenly fragrant cardamom is ten times better than the thousand-year human parameter."

"With the level of qi and blood in Xu Chenggui's body, just one heavenly fragrant cardamom can quickly replenish all of Xu Chenggui's lost qi and blood, and even condense it directly into a human flower."

"Compared to Tianxiang Epiphyllum, Tianxiang Epiphyllum has a stronger medicinal effect. If Tianxiang Epiphyllum had been available, Lianxing's hand would only need one stick of incense to recover, and there would be no need to wrap it with a bandage for so many days. "

Huang Rong's eyes widened, "Is this medicine so powerful?"

Li Changqing continued: "And each petal of this Tianxiang Epiphyllum is equivalent to a Tianxiang cardamom. It is also the main ingredient used to refine some special elixirs, and its price is higher than that of Tianxiang cardamom."

Having said this, Li Changqing paused for a moment before continuing: "However, it is too difficult to cultivate Tianxiang Yougye Epiphyllum. Normally, one hundred seeds may have a chance to grow into Tianxiang Youye Epiphyllum,"

"I don't know whether Bai Xiaosheng was lucky enough to get more Tianxiang cardamom seeds, or whether he was just lucky."

Huang Rong asked: "After Qu Wuyi is cured, will the Tianxiang You Epiphyllum remain?"

Li Changqing said slowly: "Although Naqu Wuyi's condition is special, the medicinal properties of Tianxiangyou Epiphyllum are strong. You can't use up the entire flower, but you can still keep most of it."

After understanding the effect of Tianxiang You Epiphyllum, Huang Xuemei said: "Do you value the intelligence network in Bai Xiaosheng's hands so much?"

Regarding Huang Xuemei's question, Li Changqing's tone was still somewhat casual.

"I value it, but not that much."

"Ok?"

Regarding Li Changqing's ambiguous answer, both of them responded with doubts.

Seeing this, Li Changqing said: "All living beings are motivated by profit, and Bai Xiaosheng is no exception."

"Bai Xiaosheng is in charge of Baixiao Pavilion, and the intelligence network can be said to be spread all over the land of Kyushu. Compared with the intelligence network controlled by Baixiao Pavilion, Hulong Villa looks like a child who has not yet grown up."

"If Bai Xiaosheng can provide some information, the benefits needless to say. Who in the world can not value it?"

Having experienced ups and downs in the business world, Li Changqing also knows the importance of intelligence.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is always one of the prerequisites for victory in every battle.

"Just like this time, it is precisely because of Bai Xiaosheng's information that we can take precautions and make arrangements to deal with the twelve horoscopes first."

"Who knows how many more things like this will happen in the future? This deal with Bai Xiaosheng is not a loss no matter what."

Huang Rong thought for a while and then asked: "But how can you be sure that Bai Xiaosheng will cooperate with you honestly and provide you with some important information?" Li Changqing said lightly: "I'm not sure, so I just said, since I value it, but I don’t value it that much.”

Li Changqing is not stupid and would not confide in someone he meets for the first time.

Whether it was Huang Xuemei, Yao Yue or Lian Xing, they all detoxified the three of them and slowly opened their hearts after getting along with Li Changqing for a period of time and confirming that it was indeed harmless.

If the three girls are like this, Bai Xiaosheng cannot be an exception.

"First, there is no obvious conflict of interest between Bai Xiaosheng and I. Even my medical skills are what Bai Xiaosheng needs."

"I don't think anyone would be willing to let me know without harming Bai Xiaosheng's own interests so as to provide myself or those around me with a new guarantee."

"You only live once."

"There may be opportunities to make up for some omissions, but once some omissions occur, they may be regretted for life."

"If you can know the risks in the dark in advance, you won't lose money once, and you will gain blood twice, why not do it?"

At any time, although those who are prepared cannot say that they can have the last laugh, they can always take advantage.

The more you prepare, the greater your advantage will be.

Just like yesterday.

It was precisely because there were few observations and preparations in advance that Huang Xuemei took advantage of the situation.

Then Li Changqing enjoyed it, but lost a little sense of participation.

This makes Li Changqing feel melancholy until now.

At this time, Huang Xuemei said: "This deal between you and Bai Xiaosheng is for me and that stupid woman, right?"

After hearing Huang Xuemei's words, Huang Rong also reacted.

Li Changqing was not in the Jiangnan area of ​​the capital, but in Hanshan City.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Li Changqing's fault, these days would be like 13,000. Phantom ancestors Xu Chenggui, Li Xunhuan, Bai Xiaosheng and Naqu Wuyi would not stay long even if they appeared in Hanshan City.

Not to mention doing anything that would endanger Li Changqing.

Even if they met Li Changqing, no one in the world would bother or offend a miracle doctor, they would only make friends with him.

It is naturally impossible to talk about Li Changqing's precautionary behavior.

Making such a deal with Bai Xiaosheng was not so much for Li Changqing himself as it was for Huang Xuemei, Yaoyue and Lianxing, the three trendsetters in the world.

Thinking of this and savoring the "news of concern" that Li Changqing had just told Bai Xiaosheng, Huang Rong immediately understood another layer of meaning in these words.

Leaning his body on the chair, as the rocking chair swayed slightly, Li Changqing said bluntly: "After all, I am just a tavern owner, and I have little information. I have to find some way to learn more about the situation to feel at ease!"

This is the world.

When you gain something, you will inevitably lose something.

If Li Changqing was alone, he could eat enough for the whole family and just stay in his tavern and live a leisurely life. What does the wind and rain outside have to do with Li Changqing?

When the interest comes, you might even watch a show with great interest while eating melon seeds.

But now, with the appearance of Huang Xuemei, Yao Yue and Lian Xing.

Li Changqing is no longer alone, and his thoughts and concerns will naturally change from before.

Next to her, listening to Li Changqing's words, something in Huang Xuemei's heart was stirred again. When she looked at Li Changqing, a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

For a woman who has just handed over her body, what could be more satisfying than receiving the care of the person she loves.

However, thinking that Li Changqing's concern also included Yao Yue, the smile on Huang Xuemei's face suddenly faded, and then she stood up without saying a word and walked towards the courtyard to start practicing with her eyes closed.

This scene made Huang Rong confused.

"Sister Xuemei, what's going on?"

Li Changqing thought about what he had just said, and suddenly realized that he had stepped into a trap.

He immediately sighed and said, "What else can I do? I'm jealous!"

A woman's heart is like a needle on the bottom of the sea, it is really unpredictable.

Even Li Changqing's brain couldn't keep up with Huang Xuemei's pace today.

But regarding what Li Changqing said, Huang Rong asked: "If you are jealous, what should you eat?"

However, before Huang Rong could ask further, Huang Xuemei, who had just entered the courtyard, appeared behind Huang Rong and then grabbed Huang Rong by the collar and lifted her into the courtyard.

Then, with Huang Rong looking confused, Huang Xuemei began today's special training for her.

Seeing this, Li Changqing chuckled in his heart.

Smiles tend to be transferable.

Huang Xuemei is in a slightly bad mood now.

After a while, Huang Rong's mood became worse, and Huang Xuemei's mood naturally improved.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Li Changqing stood up holding the wooden box containing the Tianxiang Epiphyllum.

When she saw Li Changqing coming out, Huang Rong in the courtyard immediately looked at Li Changqing for help.

But Li Changqing chose to ignore Huang Rong's signal for help and blocked it.

Just kidding, a dead Taoist friend is not dead to a poor Taoist.

Now, half of Huang Xuemei's anger comes from herself.

What if Huang Xuemei gets in the mood and gives herself a special training session or an overtime game at night?

Don't sleep tonight?

Then, under Huang Rong's increasingly resentful gaze and Huang Xuemei's dull gaze, Li Changqing walked towards the utility room holding the agarwood box containing the Tianxiang Epiphyllum.

"Haha, you dare to be distracted during the battle. It seems that I usually treat you too lightly."

"No no."

"Sister Xuemei, please be gentle."

"Ah~it hurts~"

Almost as soon as Li Changqing entered the utility room, he heard the screams outside.

At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly realized another benefit of Huang Rong being at home.

However, thinking that Yao Yue would have to come back soon, Li Changqing guessed that Huang Rong would be the only one, which would be a bit overwhelming.

"How about going to the Slave Department tomorrow to find Manager Zhou and ask if there is a suitable maid?"

After a while, Li Changqing suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, and then began to pick things from the utility room to deal with the Tianxiang You Epiphyllum in his hand.

Half a quarter of an hour later, as more than a dozen potted plants appeared against the wall in the backyard, Li Changqing also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Tianxiangyou Epiphyllum is unique and extremely valuable.

It can be used directly as medicine, or it can be used to refine several healing elixirs with unique medicinal properties.

The Tianxiang You Epiphyllum is originally cultivated from the seeds of the Tianxiang cardamom flower. After maturity, the fruit produced is still the Tianxiang cardamom.

Tianxiang cardamom is also the main ingredient in refining several other elixirs.

Naturally, Li Changqing couldn't let something like this go unchecked.

The naturally fragrant cardamom is unique in that it only bears fruit once every thirty years, and only one fruit per flower.

Moreover, Tianxiang cardamom flowers have extremely high requirements on the soil for their growth.

A place of death and life is needed.

It is also the soil where a large number of corpses were buried.

For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a large number of them.

But Li Changqing is different.

Through experiments on cultivating other drugs for more than a month, Li Changqing found that the more Baiyunxi soil was added, the shorter the growth cycle of the drug would be.

If all are planted with white cloud soil as the soil, the buried rhizome of Tianxiangyou Epiphyllum will grow back into a complete Tianxiangyou Epiphyllum in up to three days.

It will take three months to produce a heavenly fragrant cardamom.

It can be said that the fragrant epiphyllum brought by Bai Xiaosheng is tantamount to bringing the most important seed to Li Changqing.

With the white clouds and soil around, Li Changqing could even harvest a hundred heavenly fragrant cardamoms in a year if he just thought about it.

After refining the elixir, you can eat it like candy.
