Chapter 6 Bookshop
When Qin He came out of Guangyuan Pharmacy, he had an extra 155 taels of silver in his hand.

This is the total price after selling the sixty-year-old ginseng and other medicinal herbs. It is an unimaginable amount of money!

Is that much?
Of course it’s a lot. Even if Qin He collected herbs over the past decade or so, the money he earned from selling them might not add up to this much.

He was quite satisfied with the offer. The prices offered by other stores were probably even lower than Guangyuan Pharmacy, so he sold it directly to Manager Zhou.

However, Qin Feng also knew that this old ginseng could be sold at a higher price.

Double? Triple?
This is just the price for selling in Qingzhou City.

If you go to the capital of Qing Kingdom, the price will probably easily increase to more than five times. If you meet a buyer who just needs it, it can be easily sold at ten times the price.

But Qin Feng can't earn this money, he doesn't have the ability!

Let’s not talk about the capital, let’s take Qingzhou City as an example.

It is not close to Pingchuan County. I heard that it takes three days to get there by horse along the official road, and there are bandits on the road. How can he get there?
Even if you arrive in Qingzhou City, as a villager of Qinjia Village, it will be difficult for you to enter the city without an identity certificate.

Selling things in the city is also a hurdle. It is normal to be cheated, robbed, or stolen. It is too easy to be tricked when selling and to bully a foreigner.

Anyway, in general, if he wants to sell it at a high price, he will face all kinds of difficulties, and there is a high probability that his life will be in danger, which is not something a small villager like him can handle.

So Qin Feng can completely accept the current situation.

"The big stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground." Qin He breathed a sigh of relief.

The ginseng had been kept at home before, and Qin He was always worried that something might go wrong with it. Now that it has been sold, he can finally put his mind at ease.

Soon, he pulled Qin Feng away from the pharmacy, turned around and around, and stopped only after entering an empty alley.

"It should be safe here!"

When you have a large sum of money, you have to be careful.

At this time, Qin He took out a small piece of silver from the bag, about 2 taels, and put the rest in Qin Feng's hands.

At the same time, he said: "From now on, these are all your capital!"

Qin Feng and Qin He went up the mountain to collect herbs. The distribution of the profits was very simple, whoever found it got it.

Among the medicinal herbs sold this time, Qin He's stuff was only worth 2 taels of silver, so Qin Feng took the lion's share.

However, Qin Feng would not accept all of it. In the past, Qin He had always taken good care of him. Every time he collected herbs, he would give him a portion of the profits. The two of them also had a master-disciple relationship.

So Qin Feng immediately grabbed a handful of silver from his purse and handed it to Qin He.

However, the other party seemed to have anticipated this and stepped forward to hold down Qin Feng's hands.

At the same time, he said, "Just take it if I give it to you. I, your master, am not so shameless as to take money from my apprentice!"

"Take the apprentice's money? What kind of nonsense is that!"

Qin Feng said: "This is just a disciple's filial piety to the master, and it costs a lot of money for Brother Qin Guan to study, so at least we should give him some money!"

Qin Guan is Qin He's son, the only child in the family. He is one year older than Qin Feng's eldest brother and went to study in the county town very early.

Hearing this, Qin He loosened his grip a little.

After about a minute of verbal "confrontation", Qin He finally accepted the twenty taels of silver.

This feeling of pushing money back and forth was very similar to seeing relatives accepting red envelopes during Chinese New Year, which made him feel a little dazed.

In the end, all Qin Feng had left in his hands was a silver note worth one hundred taels and thirty-three taels of silver.

"Remember to come back before 3 p.m."

Qin He was going to the academy to see his son, while Qin Feng was going to buy some things and also go to the bookstore to have a look, so the two separated.

"Got it." Qin Feng waved his hand and left the alley.

The main reason for going into the alley is to conceal one's wealth from others. If someone sees them, trouble may easily arise.

Now that the money is kept close to me, everything is fine.

At the alley entrance, Qin He saw Qin Feng walking away before he turned and left. Sixteen years old was considered an adult in this world, otherwise Qin He would not be at ease with Qin Feng walking outside alone.

Pingchuan Blacksmith Shop.

When Qin Feng passed by here, he specially ordered some equipment.

For example, silver needles, medicine pestles, mortar buckets and the like were all the things he needed to treat people.

Especially the silver needles, Qin Feng wanted a complete set for acupuncture.

Next, he went to the carpentry shop next door and ordered a special medicine box.

These things cost him more than fifteen taels of silver in total, and he could only come to pick them up half a month later.

Although the things are expensive, they are worth the money because Qin Feng will use them soon.

After separating from Qin He just now, Qin Feng went to the dental clinic first.

That was a well-informed place, and he only spent one penny and got to know a lot of information.

And now, he also has a simple plan for the future.

First of all, he didn't plan to go back today.

To be precise, he didn't plan to go back for some time because he had heard about the martial arts school.

The Kingdom of Qing values ​​martial arts, and basically every place at the county level and above has a martial arts school founded by martial artists.

A semester in a martial arts school lasts for three months.

The tuition fee is fifty taels of silver, which is just the cost of studying and does not include medicinal materials, accommodation and meals.

If those three items were added, the package would cost 120 taels of silver per semester, or 480 taels of silver per year, which is extremely expensive.

Although the tuition fees of martial arts schools are very expensive, they really teach people something.

The internal skills that Qin Feng wants to learn most at the moment can be taught in the martial arts school.

So at this moment, what he wanted to do most was to find a martial arts school to learn martial arts.

You don't have to spend too much money, fifty taels is enough!

After signing up, he would rent a house in the county town, and then practice martial arts and practice medicine to improve his medical skills.

After a while, when his strength and medical skills have greatly improved, he can seek other things.

With plans in mind, Qin Feng also arrived at the door of a bookstore.

The name of the bookstore is Jiyue Bookstore.

This place is a small courtyard with a pond in the middle. There are a few lotus flowers in it, which makes it look quite elegant.

The three sides of the courtyard are half-open, with several rows of wooden shelves on each side, on which are placed hundreds of books.

At this time, there were two groups of people selecting books in the bookstore. After Qin Feng came in, a young man dressed as a page boy immediately came up to him.

"Our store sells a complete range of poetry, prose, novels, miscellaneous notes, and calligraphy and painting. Please feel free to take your pick, young man." He bowed slightly, appearing very polite.

"Excuse me, where are the books on geography and miscellaneous articles?" Qin Feng asked in return with a bow.

"First bookshelf on the left, third row. I'll lead you there."

"That's not necessary. I can go by myself."

"Then please help yourself."

Qin Feng bowed again, walked over quickly, and immediately started searching along the bookshelf.

"Thoughts on Traveling in the South of the Yangtze River", "Customs and Folkways of the Northern Qi Dynasty", "Map of the Surrounding Areas of Qingzhou Prefecture", etc.

Looking at the names of these books, Qin Feng's attention was immediately attracted.
