I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Now one US dollar can be exchanged for 2.4 silver dollars. If a large yellow croaker is worth 1.2 silver dollars, then a bottle of penicillin is worth large yellow croakers.

Wei Miao saw Lu Pingsheng standing there in a daze without any reaction, so she pursed her lips.

He stood up, took off the towel around his neck, casually patted his hair a few times, and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

"I put the bottles I made this time on the shelf at the door of the laboratory. You'd better put them away, otherwise it would be a pity if Ahri broke them."

Ahri meowed at Lu Pingsheng in dissatisfaction.

Wei Miao held the three large yellow croakers given by Lu Pingsheng and slept for three days and three nights.

Dachang Coffee Shop.

Sister Xu Lan brought coffee to Lu Pingsheng and her lips curled up when she turned around.

Hu Na, who was behind the bar, saw her coming and asked with a smile, "So happy? Do you like him?"

She knew that Sister Xu Lan and Lu Pingsheng knew each other. After all, the memory of their first meeting in the coffee shop was very deep.

Sister Xu Lan is very grateful to Hu Na, the older sister who takes care of her in every way.

Hearing Hu Na's harmless teasing, her cheeks flushed a little.

"Sister Hu Na, what is love?"

Sister Xu Lan knew that Hu Na had a fiancé, and the two of them came to Shanghai together to make a living. Their life went from being poor to being well off now, and it can be said that they had finally gotten through all the hardships.

Hu Na reached out and helped the expectant girl adjust her headscarf.

"Love means being with the people you love and doing the things you love, and being happy every moment."

Sister Xu Lan turned her head to look at the handsome man who was holding a cup of coffee and looking out the window, and her expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

"If you like him, then let him know. You've been here for a long time. Look at those handsome men and pretty women. They are so free and unrestrained. Women don't need to be bound. Love and self-pursuit are both great."

Hu Na had a complicated smile on her face, and she didn't know whether she was trying to convince Sister Xu Lan or herself. Her lowered eyelids concealed the last trace of entanglement in her heart.

Sister Xu Lan looked in the direction of Lu Pingsheng again, bit her lip and said:

"Sister Hu Na, shouldn't a good love be based on being well-matched and loving each other? He already has a fiancée, and I am of humble status, so I will naturally not trouble him."

Hu Na was amused by Sister Xu Lan's naivety.

She looked at the girl in front of her, thought of her own appearance back then, reached out and pinched the girl's plump cheeks, and said:

"Then you should work hard to make yourself worthy of him. Even if he doesn't choose you, you can still catch his eye."

Sister Xu Lan didn't have time to think, as she saw a guest coming to the door, she hurriedly trotted to greet the guest.

Hu Na looked at her cheerful back, lowered her head at the ring on her hand, gently rubbed it for a while, and sighed softly.

Lu Pingsheng looked at the ordinary-looking but fierce-eyed leader of the Qing Gang in front of him and said calmly:

"Why did Mr. Zhang think of inviting me, a useless person kicked out of the family, to have coffee?"

Zhang Er picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then glanced at the young man opposite him.

He really has the ability to make little girls blush and their hearts beat faster.

"Mr. Lu, let's be frank. I want all the sulfa drugs you and the others have. How about a 10% discount from the current black market price?"

Zhang Er's tone didn't sound like he was negotiating, but rather very confident.

Lu Pingsheng chuckled, "Nowadays, sulfa drugs are easily sold, so there is no reason for us to give up that 10% profit."

Zhang Er seemed to have expected him to say that. He tapped the table with his hands and said:

"But you have to know that if the sulfanilamide ordered by Charles and I comes back, your sulfanilamide will be worthless."

Lu Pingsheng chuckled and took a sip of coffee slowly. The bitter taste spread in his mouth and he suddenly remembered the little boy's wrinkled expression.

"How can coffee be more expensive than tea? This taste is simply blasphemy against food."

Zhang Er looked at the young man in front of him with a relaxed brow, thinking about the task assigned by the Japanese.

"We will pay for all the gold, which will be kept in a French bank. As long as you deliver the goods, the gold will be yours. And we guarantee that you will have no worries."

Hearing his ostentatious appearance, Lu Pingsheng put down the coffee cup in his hand, stared into Zhang Er's eyes and said word by word:

"If it's not less than one cent, I will try to convince others."

Zhang Er lowered his eyes. Now, only Lu Pingsheng and his men had large quantities of sulfa in the market. For some reason, the Japanese were determined to get this batch of sulfa.

After forcing it to fail, he actually wanted to buy it at a high price.

That old foreigner Charles not only asked for a high price, but also didn't guarantee the time of delivery.

If it takes half a year or a year to transport it back, the day lilies will be cold by then.

"The goods are in my Qing Gang's warehouse." Zhang Er curled his lips and sneered.

Lupin stood up and said, "In that case, there is nothing more to talk about. I have an appointment with Mr. Charles, so I'll take my leave."

The smile on Zhang Er's lips disappeared, and his sinister eyes stared at Lu Pingsheng for a long time.

Thinking about how White Rose and a bunch of old guys challenged him last night, it was exactly the same.

No wonder these guys get together.

"I need to discuss it and I will give you a reply as soon as possible." Zhang Er laughed loudly, seemingly hearty but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Lu Pingsheng put his hands in his pockets and said condescendingly:

"Master Zhang needs to be quick, after all, the price of sulfa changes every day."

Zhang Er stood up and said with a fake smile: "Don't worry, I know."

Looking at Zhang Er who slammed the door and left, Lu Pingsheng sat back and stared out the window in a daze.

After Wei Miao went upstairs to sleep, he took Wei Miao's penicillin and went directly to the slum area. He picked up two refugees with different degrees of infection and injected them directly.

Before coming here today, the two were already lying in the hospital and were able to drink white porridge.

Everything that happened in his previous life made Lu Pingsheng clearly realize that he was taking human life lightly.

But everything in this life reminded him that he must quickly determine the clinical effect of Wei Miao's penicillin. . .

Lu Pingsheng withdrew his thoughts and waved to the waiter, "Pack three for me, no! Ten chestnut cakes."

The waiter was not surprised by this. Their chestnut cake was very famous and if these young masters and young ladies held a party, they would make reservations in advance.

"Sir, our chestnut cakes are all freshly made. If you don't have an appointment, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."

Lu Pingsheng raised his hand to look at his watch, then nodded and smiled at the waiter.

After the waiter left, he began to review his plan in his mind. After making sure it was foolproof, he looked at the people coming and going on the street outside.

Although it is early summer now, it is still spring overall because of the leap March in the lunar calendar this year.

The green leaves of the sycamore trees planted on the street are stretched out, and the sunlight shining on them makes them more vibrant.

It seems that everyone likes this kind of weather. Whether on the road or on the street, there are crowds of people, traffic, and beautiful people in elegant clothes.

Lu Pingsheng smelled the rich aroma of coffee and the sweet taste of cake, as if he was in another peaceful time and space.
