Chapter 40 Poison or Tonic

In front of Ye Tong's booth, Wu Haichang glanced casually over the jade bottle, and finally landed on the medicinal food Ye Tong was carrying. The rich fragrance made his index finger move. He turned to look at the iron pot, and asked: : "Is the medicinal diet sold?"

"Not for sale!" The drug slave replied without raising his head.

Wu Haichang frowned slightly, and said, "Can I have a bowl of medicinal food when I buy the elixir?"

Yao Nu looked at Ye Tong.

Ye Tong said calmly: "No."

Wu Haichang stared at Ye Tong, and suddenly grinned and said, "Since the little brother lives in this Taoyuan Inn, he must not be a native of the county, right?"

Ye Tong asked, "You want to threaten me?"

"This..." Wu Haichang was speechless, he really meant that.

Ye Tong shook his head, sighed and said: "Today's medicinal food, except for me, outsiders can't eat it, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, after all, who would push it out for no reason?"

Wu Haichang was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Why did you say that?"

Ye Tong thought for a while, and said: "Ten taels of blue silver, I will help you solve your doubts."

"you……"

Wu Haichang was furious, but his energy-raising skills were not bad. He stared at Ye Tong and said, "Seeing that you are young, I don't have the same knowledge as you. It's no problem if you want Lanyin, but you have to give me an explanation. If your Explain that I am not satisfied, and don't blame me for bullying you foreigners."

"Yes!" Ye Tong smiled lightly.

Wu Haichang took out twelve taels of blue silver, threw it on the booth and said, "Explain!"

Ye Tong took out a grass root from the bowl and asked, "Do you know the medicinal materials? Do you know what this thing is?"

Wu Haichang frowned, observed carefully for a moment, and said with a sneer, "Bluffer, these are just ordinary medicinal materials. What is there to say?"

"no!"

Beside him, an old man who just arrived showed a horrified expression on his face, staring at the grass root and said: "This is a hundred corpse root, which is very poisonous, even if it is a saber-toothed wolf, swallowing a drop The venom in the hundred corpse root will also be poisoned to death with a snap of your fingers, young man, are you crazy? You actually put such a highly poisonous thing in the medicinal food?"

What the old man said made Wu Haichang's complexion change drastically. He didn't know Baishigen, but he had heard of it!

Ye Tong showed a smile, nodded and said: "The old man is very knowledgeable."

With that said, Ye Tong picked out another worm from the bowl, looked at Wu Haichang and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

After Wu Haichang understood the poisonous insects, he stepped back a few steps in an instant, looked at Ye Tong and said in amazement: "You are really crazy, this is a blood centipede! You, you, you... Is this a medicinal diet for nourishing the body? Or is it used for suicide? poison?"

Ye Tong didn't answer his question, but asked with a smile: "Ten taels of blue silver, do you still feel that Hua is wronged?"

"Gulu..." Wu Haichang swallowed, shaking his head with lingering fear, he hasn't lived enough yet, if the boy really gave him a bowl of medicinal food just now, he might have been poisoned to death by now.

But this young man obviously drank the medicinal diet, why is he fine? Could it be that this medicated diet is weird?

Wu Haichang is a shrewd person. After a moment of silence, he said: "You are scaring me with poisonous roots and poisonous insects. In fact, this medicinal food has been processed, isn't it poisonous?"

Ye Tong never expected that the man in front of him would not give up. Could it be that he is really so greedy for food?

Wu Haichang said again: "Let's make a price! I'll buy a bowl of medicinal food, and you will know if there is any poison in this medicinal food."

Ye Tong turned to look at Yao Nu, and asked: "We live in Taoyuan Inn, how much blue silver did we pay?"

Yao Nu said, "Three thousand taels."

Ye Tong looked at Wu Haichang, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Did you hear that? If you are willing to pay three thousand taels of blue silver, I can give you a bowl. As for whether you are still alive after drinking, it has nothing to do with me." gone."

"Don't try." The old man next to him suddenly said.

Wu Haichang suppressed his anger and asked, "Why?"

The old man looked at Ye Tong carefully, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This young man has a problem, he..."

Wu Haichang asked, "What happened to him?"

The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I guessed wrong! Anyway, I advise you not to try it. Spending money to buy death is a stupid act."

Wu Haichang said angrily: "Who said I'm going to die? Three thousand taels of blue silver, right? No problem, this is a three thousand taels of blue silver bill. Later, if after my inspection, this medicinal food is not poisonous, I want you to look good."

"Oh, it's so early in the morning, it's bad luck!" Ye Tong looked at Wu Haichang as if he was looking at a dead person.

Wu Haichang turned around and whispered a few words to the person around him, and the person left quickly. When Wu Haichang took a bowl of medicinal food, he didn't drink it, but quietly looked into the bowl, as if waiting for something .

Ye Tong finished drinking two bowls of herbal food, handed the bowl to the drug slave, and then looked at the dozen or so people who had already gathered, and said lightly: "If you want to watch the fun, please let me go, I'm selling elixir here, and I'm still here. Please don't disturb my business."

The dozen or so people watching around immediately backed away after hearing Ye Tong's words.

The old man did not retreat, his eyes moved to the jade bottle, his eyes lit up immediately, and when he saw the engraved writing on the jade bottle clearly, he asked: "Is the engraved text on the jade bottle the name of the elixir?" ?”

"Yes!" Ye Tong said without hesitation.

The old man picked up a bottle, uncorked it, smelled it, and said in surprise, "It's really Qi Gathering Pill? And the quality seems to be quite good. How many Qi Gathering Pills are there in this bottle? What's the price?"

Ye Tong said: "A bottle of ten pieces, the whole bottle is sold, a total of 8,000 taels of blue silver."

The old man was surprised: "So cheap?"

Cheap? Ye Tong showed a strange look, and said, "Okay, I misremembered, a bottle of 10,000 taels of blue silver."

"Ahem..."

The old man didn't bring it up in one breath, and coughed several times in succession. He looked at Ye Tong, and almost wanted to slap him in the face. Is there still such a low price these days? Just because I said something cheap?

"Eight thousand taels, I bought it." The old man said.

"10,000 taels, if there is less, I won't sell it." Ye Tong replied calmly.

"The old man's mouth is cheap!" The old man showed a dejected look, and directly took out four silver notes with a face value of 10,000 taels of blue silver, and asked, "Is it the same for other medicines?"

Ye Tong said: "There are four kinds of pills, each bottle contains ten pills, and the price is the same."

The old man said: "I'll buy a bottle each, and you keep the bank notes."

Ye Tong was a little satisfied with the successful opening, and said: "Originally, each jade bottle would charge one thousand taels of blue silver, but since you are my first customer, I will waive it for you."

"Forget your size!" The old man rolled his eyes when he heard the words, turned around and left with four bottles of elixir, but after walking more than ten meters away, he seemed to think of something again, then turned back, stood aside and looked at Wu Haichang, he Want to know, is that bowl of medicinal food poisonous?

Soon, the person who left came with a fat pig.

Wu Haichang handed the bowl to the man, and said in a deep voice, "Give me this bowl of medicinal food and pour it into its stomach."

Test poison with pigs? Everyone suddenly realized, and each of them was quite amused.

As a bowl of medicinal food was poured into the pig's belly, within a few short breaths, the pig trembled violently, then fell to the ground with a bang, bleeding from seven holes.

"Dead?" Everyone looked at each other, with expressions of horror on their faces.

They felt that their backs were chilly, and they thought that if they ate that fragrant bowl of medicinal food, the fate of pigs would be no better than that of pigs, right?

Wu Haichang's heart was even colder. As the saying goes, if you can't reach the Yellow River, you will never give up. He saw the scene of the pig being poisoned to death, and finally understood what Ye Tong said.

The old man came to the booth, squinted his eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with your body?"

Ye Tong opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I am invulnerable to all poisons. This medicinal diet is poison to you, but it is a tonic to me. Old man, are you satisfied with my answer?"

The old man frowned and said, "A little dissatisfied."

Ye Tong said angrily: "Curiosity killed the cat, take it easy, old man."

The old man found that he couldn't talk to Ye Tong properly. With a cold snort, he turned and walked towards the distance, thinking in his heart that he must send someone to inquire about Ye Tong's origin after returning.

It took a whole day for Ye Tong to sell less than half of the pills.

the second day.

After Ye Tong finished drinking the herbal diet, she set up a stall to sell the pill again.

"Huh? This guy actually set up his booth again. Could it be that he doesn't know that he is fixed in one place to cheat, and if he is found out, he will be beaten to death by others?" The two young people who passed by yesterday came again. Said an honest-looking young man.

The young man with the scar at the corner of his eye curled his lips and said, "There are a lot of mentally retarded people this year, let alone a brat with no hair at all? Let's go, why do we care about him?"

The two shook their heads and left together.

noon.

"That's right there." A loud voice sounded nearby, and then four or five youths rushed over.

Ye Tong looked at several people and asked, "Everyone, do you want to buy medicine?"

The young man in brocade robes headed him with a haughty expression, snorted air-conditioning through his nostrils, and asked, "I heard that you can buy a bottle of pills for 10,000 taels of blue silver? Ten pills?"

"Yes!" Ye Tong nodded.

The young man in brocade robe said: "Give me some face, one thousand taels per bottle."

Ye Tong asked curiously: "Is your face very valuable? Is it worth nine thousand taels of blue silver?"

The young man in the brocade robe didn't hear the mocking meaning in Ye Tong's words, and said proudly: "I am the overlord Gao Hu, but a famous person in this county is naturally very valuable. Some people want to curry favor with me, and I am too lazy to talk to them! A few, why are you still standing there? Put all the pills on this stall for me."

"Wait!" Ye Tong stood up and said lightly: "Others want to curry favor with you, that's other people's business. In my eyes, your face is worthless. If you want to buy pills, take money, don't stay if you don't have money." I'm arrogant here."

Hearing Ye Tong's words, the little overlord Gao Hu was furious, as if he had suffered a lot of humiliation, he cursed angrily: "Damn it, I think you are courting death."

"Bo..." Ye Tong uncorked a jade bottle.
