Chapter 44 Am I destined to be a bad guy?

After Yuan Tiangang and his disciples left, Zhang Xuanqing looked at Liu Shenwei with his eyes circling and said with a funny look: "If you have anything to do, just say it. Qiqiaojie is a matter of girls and women. It is the worst. Only those scholars who want to seek fame and fortune worship Kuixing, which has nothing to do with us Taoist priests."

Seeing that it was exposed, Liu Shenwei was not embarrassed. He smiled and leaned forward, rubbed his hands and said, "That... Uncle Master... you don't know... I've been suffering these days!" He said, "As he smiled, his eyes full of tears."

Zhang Xuanqing wanted to slap the other party: "What do you have to say? Why didn't you realize before that you are so lazy!"

Liu Shenwei scratched his head and cried, "I can't help it. Uncle Master, guess how much does it cost to eat a day?" After that, before Zhang Xuanqing spoke, he calculated for him with his fingers: "Let me talk about rice first. A bucket of rice costs four or five hundred yuan, and although the five of us can't eat a bucket of rice a day, it's not enough for two days. In other words, we have to spend 1,000 yuan every three days. In addition to food, we have to eat vegetables, right? Not to mention meat, even ordinary sunflowers, aquamarines, leeks, pine trees, shepherds, etc. are also a big expense..."

It is still the Wude period, and it is not as good as Zhenguan. Prices have been inherited since the end of the Sui Dynasty. Since Emperor Yang of Sui three large-scale conquests against Goryeo three times, not only did he fail to achieve his success, but also caused domestic rebellion. As a result, the production institutions were damaged, resulting in insufficient supply of goods, expensive prices, and depreciation of currency. By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the area ruled by Li Yuan was still limited. In order to eliminate the heroes and complete his unified cause, he also had to use troops on a large scale. In this way, the production industry would inevitably be ignored, and the supply of goods and expensive prices occurred, which was far from the cheap situation of only three or four cents of rice like Zhenguan.

Moreover, even at the beginning of Zhenguan, "New Book of Tang Dynasty, Zhi·Food and Goods" records that at the beginning of Zhenguan, the households were less than three million, and each piece of silk was changed to rice. In other words, in the early years of Zhenguan, the total number of households in the country was less than three million, and a piece of silk could only be exchanged for one piece of rice. Until the fourth year of Zhenguan, the world was abundant and the scattered people returned to their hometowns, and the rice was reduced to three or four cents. It can be said that the middle fluctuations were extremely floating.

Only then did Zhang Xuanqing realize that Liu Shenwei was here to cry and was poor, so he rolled his eyes: "You should tell your master this kind of thing, right? Tell me, aren't you afraid that your master will beat you?" No matter what, he is also Sun Simiao's guest. Liu Shenwei's behavior is suspected of driving people away.

Liu Shenwei scratched his head and said with a sarcastic smile: "Uncle Master is joking. I am not treating Master Master as my own... Cough, Master Master, you know that when we practice medicine in Jishitang, we never charge medical fees when we meet poor people, and sometimes even waive medical fees... You want my master to treat diseases and save people, but it's better to make money... Hehe... Hehe... Hehe... It's better not to send it out." At the end of his speech, his little face wrinkled and turned into a ball: "It's okay before, but now we have two more mouths. And Master Master, you are getting bigger and bigger, and more people are running to our Jishitang. Master is kind. When you meet poor people, it's common for me to pay for medicine. I'm not afraid to tell Uncle Master that if this continues, it will be a problem for us Jishitang to be able to open! "

"Is that true?" Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but feel a little moved. Could it be that Sun Simiao would live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain in the future, or would treat people everywhere, but he refused to open a clinic because... he has paid too much now?

But what's the use of telling me about this thing?

"Shenwei, I know your difficulties, but in terms of making money, I am no different from your master. Will you spend money or not. Otherwise, I will take Brother Yuan and Fellow Daoist Li to leave?" Zhang Xuanqing asked tentatively.

Liu Shenwei suddenly became anxious: "No, don't, uncle, I didn't mean that. I was thinking... I wanted..."

"What do you think?" Zhang Xuanqing asked inexplicably.

"Hehe!" Liu Shenwei laughed softly, looked out with a stingy eyebrow. Seeing that the door was closed tightly, he calmed down and leaned into Zhang Xuanqing's ear and whispered: "Uncle Master, didn't you take out some alcohol two days ago? Look...why..." He kept it a secret when he said this.

Zhang Xuanqing already knew what the other party was going to say, so he didn't ask questions, but just looked at the other party with a smile.

Liu Shenwei laughed dryly, not daring to delay any further: "Uncle Master clearly saw that my disciple thought to myself that your 'Essence of Wine' must be extremely beautiful. Although it is used for disinfection, some... some... cough, if sold to a restaurant, I think it should be sold at a good price. And you have something to do with Zuixianlou, and even their current names are changed because of you..."

"So you want to do business with Zuixianlou?" Zhang Xuanqing thought to himself, and he no longer hid it.

When Liu Shenwei saw him nodding excitedly, "Yiji, Yuji, you are so smart!"

Zhang Xuanqing rolled his eyes: "But it's not as smart as you, Master Liu, that's why you are sitting up and selling!" After pondering for a while, he felt that eating and drinking for free every day is not good, and selling wine is indeed a business.

But he can't use modern inferior white wine, but instead build a distillation equipment to make wine in this world. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll record this. You go back first. I'll give you the method of making wine tomorrow, and even get you a equipment."

"Okay, thank you uncle!" Liu Shenwei agreed happily, and then pestered Zhang Xuanqing and said a lot of good things before saying goodbye.

After Liu Shenwei left, Zhang Xuanqing looked at the bed and sighed helplessly.

Since the last time he came to Datang, he has not returned to modern time and space. There is no way, I feel so distressed. I only took a bus for 20,000 yuan, but it turned into two thousand. How else did he want to go back?

Unfortunately, I have to go back once today.

He doesn't know what the equipment for distilled liquor looks like, and even if it is drawn, it is not easy to make it in this world. It's better to go back and buy a ready-made one.

Lying on the bed, the dragon sting method is operative as you wish.

...

"Your sister, is a distillation equipment so expensive?"

Back to modern time and space, it was the early morning of the next day. Zhang Xuanqing turned on the computer and searched on Taobao. He found that the smallest and cheapest household small wine distillation equipment cost six or seven hundred, seven or eight hundred, and even the most expensive, he couldn't help but curse.

There was no choice but to agree to the little Taoist priest Liu Shenwei, and he could only place an order. However, when he found that the shipping fee was several dozen, he couldn't help but verbally scolded him again.

Originally, he planned to buy a big one, and it was in place at one time. It seemed that he could only buy a small inspection product now, and then check the drawings of the distiller and draw them down for the blacksmith of the Tang Dynasty to figure it out.

I picked up the choice, wrote, painted, and waited until everything was done, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

The sky outside was gloomy and seemed to be raining.

Zhang Xuanqing was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out the pork hidden in the refrigerator with a bitter face... How many pigs should I buy when I lost so much money yesterday? His heart hurts so much.

After dinner, the weather outside was still gloomy and there was no wind. It seemed that it would not rain for a while.

Zhang Xuanqing learned to apply it, and immediately set up a hexagram, which showed that it would rain until it was dark.

I looked at the time and it was just noon, but I thought about how much money I lost yesterday... I should set up a stall to tell fortunes.

"We learned from Yuan Tiangang, so we shouldn't be considered a liar, right?"

After leaving the house, Zhang Xuanqing thought happily, don’t he feel that he has only been studying with Yuan Tiangang for a few days. Even if Yuan Tiangang has real skills, how much can he teach him?

I have found a place with a wide area and a lot of people to run away - this is already a habit. It is better to worry about defeat before you win and plan ahead than to catch up with blindness at that time.

However, today God seemed to not give me any food. He sat for two hours, but no one stopped to see.

Maybe it’s because the weather is bad, so everyone doesn’t want to stay outside for too long?

Until it started drizzling in the sky, there was still no business coming.

Look at the time. It was just four or five o'clock in the afternoon and I said that it would rain until it was dark... Huh? It's still dark now. I'm already very accurate in saying so?

Zhang Xuanqing, who was inexplicably better, suddenly walked home with great energy - he couldn't bear to take the bus when he was rented, and he would never do it in his life, so he felt distressed when he saw it.

Money!

While walking, I suddenly found a group of people in front of me, surrounded by a small white car, and there was a person walking down in front of the car, which must be a car accident.

Zhang Xuanqing didn't want to join in the fun, but he looked at the little white car. The more he looked, the more he looked familiar, the more he looked familiar... Isn't this Liu Ping's among the Liu sisters?

OK, I finally caught you!

I got closer and saw Liu Ping standing by the car. It was raining at this time. She was wearing a white suit and pressed against her body. Her long hair was a little wet, and her hair was repeatedly stuck to her face. Her face was a little pale. I don’t know if it was scared or her body was uncomfortable. She was wearing high heels, a tall man who was already 1.75 meters tall, and she was wearing high heels. Zhang Xuanqing secretly compared herself, but she was half a taller than herself.

You know he is only 1.72 meters tall!

A man in his fifties and sixties was lying on the ground. He was thin and wearing a white vest. He had been penetrated by the rain. He was tightly pressed against his body, and his flesh appeared and made him look thinner. There was a lot of mud all over his body, and he was lying on the ground and thrust, and he was almost out of reach.

However, Zhang Xuanqing's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw that the old man looked good. Judging from the traditional Chinese medicine method of looking at qi, Ya Ting just pretends!

The people around watching the fun didn't know that they were standing under the umbrellas of different colors, including black or white, and pointed at Liu Ping.

"Look at this girl, she looks good, but she is not very good at heart. She knocks her uncle like this and doesn't know how to send him to the hospital!"

"That's right, people nowadays don't know what's wrong. Alas, people's hearts are so old that the world is getting worse."

"No, look at her car, there are not many millions of people who can't get off? She is just for being rich and unkind!"

"No, this matter must be exposed. Everyone took a photo and posted it on Weibo to see who this woman is."

"Is this a bad person? I want to see, this person is a mistress. Even if he is not, he is not a good person!"

"That's right!"
