Chapter 315 Being Targeted
Shopkeeper Qin was so excited when he talked about the latter part.
More than 900 taels of silver. If Renjitang's medicine shops were not spread across several places and the purchased medicinal materials could be transported to the main shop in Jinling, he would not be able to handle such a large batch of medicinal materials in one shop.
Not to mention taking out more than 900 taels of silver at once.
He looked at Ding Heli, who looked calm, and smiled: "Heli, did you calculate the total price and send it here?"
He only had 1,000 taels of silver in his hand. If it exceeded this amount, he would either owe it or withdraw it and wait for the next time. Ding Heli did not look very excited about the more than 900 taels of silver. It must be that he estimated the price at home and sent it here.
Ding Heli bowed and said modestly: "No, no, it's just a coincidence."
He was not too excited just because he had seen more expensive ones in the past.
After all, a ginseng that was more than a hundred years old was worth at least 1,000 taels of silver. Now, dozens of them had been busy for more than a month, but they only got less than 1,000 taels, which was really rare.
However, it is not common to have ginseng that is over a hundred years old, but the income of the herbal medicine shop is real!
This is only the first month, the people in the workshop are not very skilled and the number of medicinal materials is not sufficient, which means there is still a lot of room for improvement.
It is not impossible for the herbal medicine shop to earn 10,000 taels a month in the future...
Ding Heli carefully wrapped up more than 900 taels of silver and hid them separately with Fan Jin. He only took more than 14 taels of silver from the village man selling kudzu root in his hand. Manager Qin and the medicine boy went to the front shop to work, and several people waited in the open space in the backyard of the herbal medicine shop.
After a while, Hu Wenhua came with many men.
When a heavy bag of broken silver and copper coins was handed over, the men were very excited.
Li Wen's hands were shaking when he took the bag.
Whether his family raised rabbits, potatoes, or kudzu root, they were the most in the village. Planting potatoes filled their stomachs, raising rabbits made money, and they didn't expect that the kudzu root that was originally intended to be planted for food could also make money!
At the beginning, there were more than 20 families in the village that planted kudzu root, so most of the men present carried kudzu root to sell, but there were also 7 or 8 families who did not plant in the first batch, and now they were looking at it with envy.
I regretted it very much!
Why didn't they plant it at the beginning? Otherwise, wouldn't they have a share of the silver now?
When Fan Jin's family has something next time, they must follow and must not fall behind.
Nearly 15 taels of silver, more than 20 families share it, more than 1 tael of silver, less than several hundred coins, more than 20 families are very satisfied, and less than 7 or 8 families who have no money are also satisfied.
With the silver, the team first went to buy cloth. Fine cotton cloth was reluctant to buy, and only a few families bought coarse cotton cloth. Most of the guys bought linen.
Linen clothes are rough and stiff, not as comfortable as cotton, but it is wear-resistant and durable! The most important thing is cheap.
One piece of coarse cloth can make two sets of linen cloth. It is the most suitable for a large family. After all, they just fill their stomachs. It is extremely difficult to have linen cloth to make new clothes.
After buying the cloth, they also bought some miscellaneous things on the way, and finally bought lime.
Lime is not in the city. On the way back, you have to go into a fork road to buy it, and then go back to the main road to the village.
It is equivalent to taking a detour.
When they bought lime and returned to the main road, the men quickened their pace.
The vehicles were full of goods, and they just wanted to get to the village quickly and go home to see their families early.
Hu Wenhua was originally walking in the front, but gradually fell behind the team after buying lime.
After a while, he solemnly warned the last man in the team to the front: "We are being watched, don't look back, don't stop!"
The man who was warned changed his face, and stopped immediately when he was about to look back. He was very nervous. The people walking on both sides of the car put their hands on the frame to draw their swords at any time.
Although nervous and afraid, the team was not in chaos at all. When there was another fork in the road ahead, the leader turned in.
The weather was getting colder, and the government didn't care about the victims. It was normal for the victims to become refugees. They were selling rabbits and buying things. There were so many people and cars that they couldn't hide. It was only a matter of time before they were targeted.
They had imagined this situation before. The first thing was not to bring these people back to Shanshui Village!
The refugees had to be dealt with on the road!
The legs of the three people in front of Fan were shaking!
Why were they so unlucky? They encountered this dangerous thing after only two trips.
It was all because of the people in the village. They bought cloth and lime. How could they not be targeted?
They were also unlucky. They had originally thought that there would be safety in numbers, but they didn't expect that the danger was brought by these people in the village!
When they turned into a fork in the road, the three of them trembled even more and asked others: "Where are we going?"
"You are not going to face them head-on, are you?"
"No way, we can't beat those people!"
"If you ask me, we should run quickly. When we return to the village, there will be a wall blocking them, and they can't get in."
Li Wen frowned tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "No! We can't bring these people back to the village!
Otherwise, if we are targeted, the next time we leave the village, the village will be full of old, weak and sick people. How can we beat them?"
Fan Erzhu and the other two originally thought that they would not follow them out next time, and it would be safest to hide in the village. After hearing what Li Wen said, they just thought that if these men were not in the village, the village would not be safe, and their complaints immediately became quieter.
Li Wen glanced at the three people and said: "Besides, we are carrying a full truck of goods, how can we walk as fast as them? We can only take a chance."
Boss Xu comforted him, "It's okay. We have more people and we are strong. We may not be defeated."
Fan Qian mocked, "You are almost grandfathers, you think you are young and strong!"
Boss Xu closed his mouth silently, pulled out a big knife from the bottom of the car, and stared at the intersection.
The other men held knives in their hands, blocked the knives with the goods on the frame, and waited patiently.
Ding Heli, holding a sack, suddenly said, "Everyone, take a knife in your right hand and grab a handful of lime in your left hand. When people are not paying attention, sprinkle it on the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, understand!"
When he walked in front of Fan Qian and the other two, he changed his words and said, "You don't have knives, grab two more, otherwise if a gangster really rushes in front of you, you will only be slaughtered!"
Fan Erzhu and Sanzhu made up their minds to hide at the back and resolutely not rush forward. After hearing this, they still reached out and grabbed two big handfuls of lime.
Ding Heli knew that he could not rely on these three people. He looked around and found that everyone else had knives, but he and Fan Jin did not. He then handed Fan Jin a bag full of lime, and the two of them prepared to spread it while the chaos was going on.
The knife is point-to-point, but lime can be one-to-many!
The killing power is not as great as the knife, but it can restrict the opponent's actions, thus making them lose their mobility!
Everything is ready, and everyone looks at the intersection with tension.
