Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

Entering the county town from the west gate, She Wu was picked up by his cousin.

Walking alone on the road, Zhou Qing felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Broad streets, smooth bluestone pavements, neatly planned residences and shops.

With just one glance, you can tell that Ping'an County is much more prosperous than Heishan Town.

At dawn, there are old women in linen clothes cleaning the streets. After walking a few steps, I saw dedicated personnel driving along the street to collect swill and garbage.

This is completely absent in Black Mountain Town.

After crossing the wide main road, a narrow alley to the east suddenly turned into a gravel road. A few beggars huddled in the corner and slept soundly. The people passing by were all in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions.

"In that case, I'll pay you a hundred taels for this piece of Tai Sui meat." Wang Hao said solemnly.

The black widow Wei Hongyu is not easy to mess with, and the poisonous demon Wei Sheng is even harder to mess with.

Since there are masks for sale, it can save some trouble.

"Freshly baked Baihua Cake, twenty cents each, while stocks last!"

"Thank you for your patronage, see you next time."

"My name is Zhang Chaoxian, from Baiyun Martial Arts School." Zhou Qing stood up and returned the salute.

Wang Hao pondered and said that for him, no matter who introduced him, the focus was on doing business. At most, he would give face and earn less.

"Cooking cakes, selling cooking cakes!"

Zhou Qing took out Tai Sui meat wrapped in a boxing glove from the package behind him, which was about the size of a fist.

"Master Wang, let's see how much this is worth."

It is said to be a building, but it is actually a six-story pagoda-shaped building.

Wang Hao cupped his fists and saluted.

At this time, from a brightly lit luxury restaurant nearby, several hungover young men walked out with the help of a waiter.

"One for six cents, two for ten cents," the hawker replied.

"Sure enough, behind the prosperity is reality."

"I'll buy two." Zhou Qing took out ten copper coins from his money bag.

There are only one kind of ape mask and one kind of bull head mask on the stall, which are suitable for wearing interchangeably.

"I, Wang Hao, am the owner of the medicine village. I wonder what I call you young hero?"

The Zhao family in Heishan Town is a branch of the Zhao family in Ping'an County.

"It's time to polish the leather boots! Polish the leather boots. If you don't polish them well, you don't have to pay!"

Looking at the red marks on their faces and their frivolous footsteps, you can tell what kind of place this 'Chunjiang Tower' is.

One hundred taels!

After Zhou Qing found out more about it, he left the inner city and found a cheap inn to stay in the outer city.

Unfortunately, if you want to cultivate and grow this little Tai Sui meat, it will take several years or even ten years.

"It seems that the name of Senior Sister is more effective than I thought." Zhou Qing thought to himself, the inner armor was indeed delivered correctly.

"I remember Zhao's Auction House in Yong'anfang in the inner city."

The auction will be held in the afternoon three days later. If you want to consign the auction, you only need to arrive before noon.

In addition, if you want to participate in the auction, you need to pay an admission fee of five taels of silver. Of course, warriors can enter without paying.

"If the whole plant is poisonous, it can be sold for three thousand taels, which is not an exaggeration.

"Senior Sister said that you have a wide variety of medicinal materials at reasonable prices. She recommended me to come here."

With strong eyesight, Zhou Qing's eyes passed through the narrow alleys, and a poor and dilapidated living area came into view.

Not even a beggar can be seen on the clean and tidy road.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with a fair face and a mustache entered the living room.

He knew that the auction would be held in three days, so he came today just to ask about the specific process.

After Wang Hao's hand touched the Tai Sui meat, white smoke immediately rose from his palm, and the muscles in his forehead twitched slightly.

Zhou Qing walked due east.

"Secret bamboo leaf wine, three pennies a bowl."

As he spoke, he took out a half-folded prescription from his pocket and put it in front of Wang Hao.

"Call me?" Zhou Qing was stunned and walked up.

When Zhou Qing was about to enter the business, a mask vendor next to him shouted to him.

"Hey, bro."

"It doesn't matter. Although I am mediocre in talent, I still have some skills." Wang Hao smiled faintly and reached out his hand to grab the Tai Sui meat.

Before entering, he was going to get some dirt on his beard and change his clothes and hairstyle.

The vendor had a smile on his face.

Most people don't have enough to eat, so how could there be food left unfinished and thrown away?

"It is indeed the handwriting of Master Wei. Purple monkey fruit, jade leaf flower, and salvia are all available in the medicine store."

Bah!

The poor, living in subsistence families, and the small rich families, living in the outer city.

"One hundred and twenty taels!" Wang Hao gritted his teeth when he saw Zhou Qing sitting upright and not responding, and couldn't see clearly the expression under his mask.

If you want to settle in the inner city, the easiest way is to practice martial arts and become a servant or client of a wealthy family.

However, this "mouth" is larger than the eight cities in the outer city combined.

Zhou Qing walked towards the inner city. Before dawn, the market quickly became lively, with vendors carrying burdens selling goods along the street.

After Wang Hao heard this, he stopped asking further questions.

"Master Wang, give it to me." Zhou Qing saw cold sweat starting to form on his head and stretched out his hand to take the Tai Sui meat.

The auction will be held three days later. In the past few days, many outsiders have entered the city. These people are a mixed bag of people.

Recently, there has been an endless stream of people buying masks from me. If you don’t buy them now, I will raise the price in two days. "

"Since it was introduced by Martial Master Wei, how about we make friends and give him three taels of silver each?"

When the piece of meat was in his hand, the folds on it were still trembling slightly.

When passing through the city gate of the inner city, Zhou Qing took off the linen clothes outside and showed off the Baiyun Martial Arts training uniform he was wearing inside. The guard let him go without saying anything.

Although he had expectations about the value of Tai Sui meat, Zhou Qing was still shocked by the price given by Wang Hao.

They are obviously in the same county, but between the inner city and the outer city, there are walls three feet high on all sides.

Some families will dump garbage directly in the alley behind their house, and some children will find an alley anywhere to urinate and defecate.

Zhou Qing said calmly, pulling out the tiger skin of Wei Sheng, a great martial artist.

To be on the safe side, why don't you buy a mask to cover your face? What if someone deceives you when you are young and has evil thoughts about you?

Before coming, he asked Lin Qiu about the situation in the county.

His right hand suddenly swelled twice in mid-air and turned red.

Seeing Zhou Qing wearing a silk shirt with disheveled hair and a mask, he was slightly startled, and then returned to normal.

He took off his outer linen clothes in the forest, spread his hair behind him, then put on the minotaur mask and walked towards the gate of the medicine store.

The wealthy families all live in the inner city.

Two vertical and two horizontal roads and four main roads divide the county into nine regions, with the cities and towns distributed in a "well" shape.

"Refining meat?" Zhou Qing felt Wang Hao's surging energy and blood, and roughly judged his state. He should have reached perfection in refining meat.

After Zhou Qing entered the inner city, he could see officers with swords patrolling along every main road.

The "mouth" in the middle of the word "well" is where the inner city of the county is located.

The vendor said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhou Qing nodded. The price was a little cheaper than he expected. The price of one serving was more than three coins cheaper than buying it in town.

"That makes sense. How much does a mask cost?" Zhou Qing nodded.

"I came across this Tai Sui plant by chance. I was too hasty and cut off only one-third of it. Here is only one-sixth. I plan to keep the remaining part until Master Wei's birthday and give it as a gift. ”

In the evening, he spent again, took out the only one tael of silver he had left, and bought a lake-blue silk shirt worth nine coins.

Xin'an Lane, where Zhou Qing lives, is still muddy. When it rains, it becomes slippery and muddy. Walking along, even your trouser legs will be covered with mud.

"Could it be Ganoderma lucidum?!"

"Living in the inner city, the safety level is really high."

The next day, Zhou Qing put on the lake blue silk shirt under the linen clothes, left the county seat, and went straight to Wang's Pharmacy five miles east of the city.

"This piece of Tai Sui meat contains extremely poisonous substances. It would be better for Master Wang not to touch it easily."

"My little brother looks talented and handsome. Could he be a warrior? Here to attend the auction of Zhao's Trading Company?

"I took care of you." Wang Hao looked at the dark palm, and immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, swallowed the powder inside, and the toxins spread in the palm were gradually eliminated.

"This is..." Wang Hao looked at the piece of meat in front of him, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Wang Hao wanted to reach out and touch him, but Zhou Qing avoided it.

The prosperity of the county belongs to the rich and has nothing to do with the poor.

Compared with Heishan Town, which has a slightly messy plan, Ping'an County had a complete plan before the city was built.

Zhou Qing reported Wei Hongyu's name, and someone immediately respectfully invited him into the village to serve tea.

Zhou Qing looked at the mask in his hand, paused, and put it into the cloth bag.

The entire Pingan County, plus nearby villages, towns, earth forts, and walled cities, has a population of more than 300,000, which is far beyond the comparison of Heishan Town.

At this time, Wang Hao was secretly frightened by Zhou Qingyun's calm demeanor.

"Zhang Shaoxia, although the Tai Sui meat is still alive, most of it has been lost, and its potency has been greatly reduced. I wonder if the Tai Sui meat is intact?" Wang Hao asked.

Then, he entered the lobby on the first floor and asked the waiter.

The clerks in front of the shops also got up early and started shouting hard.

At this time, after asking passers-by, Zhou Qing came to the high-rise building where Zhao's Trading Company was located.

One hundred and twenty taels is already a very fair price. "
