Chapter 130 Working to Pay Off Debts
Just do it. Jiang Quan dug out some pieces of red paper from home and cut them into diamond shapes. On them were written the words "Fu, Lu, Longevity, Happiness, and Wealth", and also marked "Fairy Boy Gourd" at the bottom.
Then I put the red paper on my gourd, looked around, and felt very satisfied.
Then he called his two friends Li Dao and Li He, pointed at the red paper and said to them: "From now on, my gourd will be called Fairy Boy Gourd. Will you join me?"
Li Dao and Li He didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"That is to say, if you sell your own gourds to me, I will get 30% of the price of the gourds sold." Jiang Quan explained to the two of them.
Li He blinked, a little reluctantly: "Why?"
Jiang Quan raised his chin and said: "Because the price of the gourds I sell is high and I can make more money than you selling them yourself, you just decide whether to do it or not. If not, I will find someone else."
Li Dao had a quick mind and responded quickly, so he nodded immediately: "Do it!"
He has seen Jiang Quan's sales methods, so he trusts him very much.
So on this day, Jiang Quan, Li Dao and Li He drove a mule cart to the market to sell gourds.
Of course, Ying Bao was also fooled into coming together.
The mule cart stopped at the place where he sold apricots last time. Ten large gourds were taken off the mule cart and spread out along the roadside.
"The gourds are for sale! The gourds grown by the little fairy boy are good for good fortune, longevity and wealth. You can let whatever you want come through. The quantity is limited. Hurry up and buy it. If you are late, it will be gone!"
Yingbao was stunned by her second cousin's shocking slogan.
It turns out that this guy is using himself to gain popularity.
"Is it really the gourd planted by the little fairy boy?" Someone came over and asked.
Jiang Quan pulled his little cousin out from behind and said with a smile, "Is this even fake?"
Today, fifty-six out of ten villagers in Chuanhe Town know the little girl of Jiang Sanlang's family. At first glance, she turned out to be the little fairy child of Jiang's family, so she asked, "How can I sell the gourd?"
Jiang Quan spread out his five fingers and said, "Five big ones, two small ones."
"What?" The man almost staggered in fright, "Are you crazy? Why is this thing so expensive?"
Five guan can buy an acre of good paddy field. This young man really dares to ask a price.
"There's nothing you can do about it if it's expensive. This is still the cheapest." Jiang Quan said proudly: "Our Calabash King, if it doesn't have fifty taels of silver, you can't even think about it."
"Tch! I see you are crazy about money," someone said angrily.
"That's right!" Others agreed.
Jiang Quan ignored these people and still shouted loudly: "The fairy gourd planted by the little fairy boy himself, five sticks each, first pick, first served, don't miss the opportunity, don't come again, if you want to get lucky, hurry up and buy it, we are out of date Don’t wait.”
Ying Bao finally convinced her second cousin.
But what can we do? It’s already here, so what can we do?
She nodded her finger at Jiang Quan, "Second brother, come here. You sell me a gourd on the strength of my name. How will you divide the account later?"
Jiang Quan said with a smile: "When we make money, each of us will get half."
"Oh, that's pretty much it." Ying Bao was satisfied.
But despite Jiang Quan's shouting for half an hour, he was stunned that not a single one was sold.
Li Dao and Li He were a little discouraged, so they got up and looked elsewhere. At this glance, they knew the reason.
It turns out that there are several Dongcun villagers nearby who are also selling gourds. They only sell gourds for 500 cash each, and some only sell them for 200 cash.
These idiots!
"Brother Jiang, why don't we sell it for five hundred coins?" Li He was a little worried that his gourds wouldn't be sold.
Jiang Quan glared at him: "If you want to sell five hundred wen, go somewhere else, not here." Just kidding, he has the title of little fairy boy, can he be the same as those mortal bodies?
Li Dao also glared at his cousin: "You are the only one who can't keep calm."
Li He felt wronged, but he did not dare to refute.
Suddenly, a man ran over with a child in his arms, knelt down in front of Yingbao, and burst into tears: "Please, little fairy boy, please save my child, wuwuwuwu... please..."
Ying Bao was startled. She saw that the child in this man's arms had a sallow complexion, foaming at the mouth, and was already dying. One of his legs was purple and black, and it was obvious that he had been injured by some poison.
"Put it down quickly and let me take a look." Ying Bao couldn't care less about the surprise and hurriedly ordered the man to put down the child.
The man also obeyed and put the child on the ground.
Ying Bao quickly pulled the child's eyelids and saw that his pupils were dilated and he could no longer see.
With a thought in her mind, Ying Bao took out a pill from her pocket, crushed it and stuffed it into the child's mouth. She also took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket. The porcelain bottle contained the detoxification potion she had prepared before, but she didn't know if it was right or not.
After pouring the medicine into the child, the child's complexion improved a lot.
Ying Bao didn't dare to relax. She lifted up the child's trouser legs and took a look. There were two small blood spots on her calves.
It looked like he was bitten on the calf by some kind of venomous snake.
After thinking for a while, he said to the man holding the child: "Go buy a candle."
The man didn't hesitate, got up and ran to the grocery store to buy a candle.
Ying Bao asked him to light the candle with a fire stick, then took out a thin blade and put it on the fire to grill and disinfect.
Then he used a thin blade to cut a cross shape on the boy's wound, allowing the poisonous blood to flow out.
After this operation, many people have gathered around.
People talked a lot, but no one raised any questions.
After a while, Yingbao fed the child another porcelain bottle of detoxification potion, squeezed it on his calf, and then sprinkled his own medicine powder on the wound.
The child's complexion softened a bit and he started to moan and cry.
Ying Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said to the man: "Give me the money for the medicine, a total of ten taels of silver."
"Ah?" The man was stunned.
Jiang Quan on the side saw this and said displeased: "Ah what? Does my little fairy boy treat your child for free?"
The man shook his head quickly and said calmly: "But...but I, I don't have that much money."
Jiang Quan frowned and said, "If you don't have money, just work to pay the bills. My Fairy Boy's medicines are all fairy medicines. Counting your ten taels is already very cheap. You won't be ungrateful and want to default on the debt, right?"
"No, no, if Fairy Boy saved my son's life, I would be willing to help her work for the rest of my life."
The only boy in the man's family was bitten by a poisonous snake unexpectedly. Even Mr. Li was helpless and refused to take him in just now.
He only sent his son to the little fairy child when he thought it was a dead horse.
At this moment, the lifeless look on the child's face faded, and he could still make a sound. Even the purple color on his calves had faded a lot. He knew that his son was saved.
The man cried with joy and was also very confused. His family really couldn't afford ten taels of silver. Since the little fairy boy asked him to work to pay off the debt, he should just go.
Someone said from the side: "Zhao Da, if you can work for the little fairy boy, it's because of the smoke coming out of your ancestral graves, why don't you agree quickly."
"That's right, I just want to bring your son with me, so that the little fairy boy can continue to treat him."
Someone urged Zhao Da, "Hurry up and thank the little fairy boy for saving your life."
Zhao Da suddenly understood, knelt down to Ying Bao, and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, little fairy boy, for saving your life. I will work hard and pay back the medical money."
Ying Bao was also confused. Just when she was about to refuse, Jiang Quan pulled her sleeves and said, "We don't open a charity hall. There will be many people coming to you for medical treatment in the future. Do you want to give them free treatment? You can't do this. You have to accept it." Let this person work to pay off the debt."
