Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine
Chapter 56: Unscrupulous Merchant Selling Water
A series of complex codes appeared on the huge display screen.
Xie Ling replied: "Extract."
The code instantly turned into text, and Xie Ling read it one by one.
0188 said flatteringly: "Master, please praise me!"
Xie Ling nodded, "Yeah, great."
Then, through his mind, he took out Yu Yichou's blood which was kept in the old house and immediately began to prepare the pills.
There are many medical instruments in the pharmacy warehouse, which is very convenient and fast.
After a few hours, Xie Ling successfully refined a batch of pills.
Xie Ling also thoughtfully added a little powdered sugar.
I remember when I was a child, the doctor would give them sugar pills when they got vaccinated.
But since she didn't know how effective it would be, Xie Ling decided to test the drug on herself.
0188 immediately praised: "Master, you are awesome! Master, while you were refining the medicine, I have already learned all the human knowledge in this world and read all the classics. Am I awesome?"
AI’s learning ability is terrifying.
Xie Ling sincerely praised: "Great."
0188 Happy like a child.
When Xie Ling left the space, only one or two minutes had passed outside.
When I looked up, I saw three furry heads at the door.
He was trying to look inside, but when Xie Ling noticed him, he suddenly retracted his head like a thief.
Li Ge'er just happened to come to Gu Wei, and standing at the door, he asked loudly: "Mother, sister-in-law, sister Qiuyue, what are you doing sneaking around the door?"
Pei slapped Li Ge'er and made faces.
Li Ge'er was completely confused, "Mom, why did you hit me?"
Pei sighed heavily, and the three of them walked in awkwardly.
"Ling'er, well, let's ask you what you want to eat for breakfast."
Xie Ling was also a little confused, "Then you can just come in directly."
Pei thought, this is because he is afraid of disturbing you and Shi Jin.
But she didn't say anything. Little girls are shy and it would be bad if Xie Ling got embarrassed.
He only asked, "Where's Gu Wei? Where did he go so early in the morning?"
Xie Ling happened to be interested in cooking today, so she said, "Gu Wei has gone to practice swordplay, so I'll make breakfast today."
After saying that, he turned and went to the kitchen.
Pei wanted to beat Gu Wei up, thinking that he must be a masochist to leave his wife in the room so early in the morning and go practice sword skills!
Drive everyone away.
Pei glanced at the bed with sharp eyes, quietly lifted the quilt, and saw the clean mattress, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
But it’s okay, Ling’er is still young and probably can’t bear Gu Wei’s kindness.
Gu Wei is also quite sensible.
Xie Ling made pancakes today.
The crust is spread thin and soft, with a fried egg in the middle.
Brush with spicy and rich sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds, and then sandwich with spicy strips, ham, lettuce and crispy crisps.
When you take a bite, it is crispy, the heat rolls in your mouth, and the aroma of egg fills the air.
Li Ge'er is a child after all, and he likes to eat spicy strips. He put the strips in his mouth and ate them with great relish.
Xie Ling asked him to deliver a pancake to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei was practicing sword under a tree outside the inn.
Xu Xingzhi and Wu Zhengqing's father Wu Daqiang were also keeping fit nearby.
"Second brother, this is delicious what my sister-in-law made today. She asked me to bring it to you."
Gu Wei put down the sword, wiped his hands, and then took it.
Ever since Wu Daqiang came over from Li Ge'er, he has been staring at the pancake.
Oh my god, it smells so good.
He swallowed his saliva, licked his old face and asked: "Brother Li, is your sister-in-law doing well?"
Li Ge'er recalled, "I think so."
He hurried back to the inn.
After a while, Gu Li came back running.
He handed a pancake to Xu Xingzhi and Wu Daqiang respectively.
The amount given to Wu Daqiang was obviously two or three times larger than those given to Gu Wei and Xu Xingzhi.
Wu Daqiang's old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. He took a bite and it was so delicious that he stamped his feet.
The sauce is rich and the meat is tender. The gravy in the tenderloin bursts out, burning your tongue and making it numb.
Wu Daqiang finished the meal in just two or three bites.
He patted Gu Wei's shoulder with a look of satisfaction, "Young General, I agree to what you said. Just based on Madam's cooking skills, I can't refuse!"
Gu Wei blinked, so this was achieved without any effort?
Madam is awesome!
As the three were talking, a group of people suddenly walked over on the street not far away.
The leader struck the gong, and after each strike he shouted, "Tomorrow at noon, water will be sold on Yulin Street. One tael of silver per bucket! Don't miss it if you pass by!"
Jincheng was not very busy in the early morning, with only a few pedestrians on the road.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the passers-by gathered around.
You asked one question after another.
“Is there really water for sale?”
"One ounce of silver is too expensive. This is not selling water, this is robbing money!"
The leader's face was full of contempt, "If you don't want to sell, get out, no one is asking you to buy!"
As they spoke, the group of people continued walking and shouting.
Xu Xingzhi frowned, "Jincheng is in drought, where does the water come from? And why is it sold at such a high price? Is it difficult to make money in the city?"
Wu Daqiang frowned and glared at the backs of the group of people, cursing, "There is water in Hujiangou not far from Jincheng. It's because of the lockdown that these maggots have made a fortune. They are robbing the people!"
Gu Wei had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure.
Inn.
That group of people also came to promote the event, beating drums and shouting.
"Water for sale! Water for sale! Tomorrow at noon on Yulin Street. Limited quantity available!"
Everyone in the exile team sighed and said that it was fortunate that they had stored their own water, otherwise they would have gone bankrupt just by buying water, so how could they go to Lingnan?
Pei shook her head. "One dou of rice is only five coins. One tael of silver is one thousand copper coins, which can buy two hundred dou of rice. How can this be worth anything?"
As he was talking, the innkeeper came over, looking embarrassed, "Excuse me, my family, we have been without water for six or seven days. Now we finally have water to sell, but it is too expensive to buy, so the inn has to raise the price. What do you think?"
Pei nodded, "It's hard for you to do this, we have no objection, go ahead and raise it."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and thanked them promptly. He then turned around and asked other families staying in the inn.
After cleaning up the mess from breakfast, Xie Ling left the room.
I have to go check the condition of the kid from the Yu family today.
Wutong Alley is no longer as deserted as before. It is very lively today, and everyone is discussing the water sale.
Xie Ling walked over and listened to a few words.
"I want to mortgage my house to buy some water to save my life."
"My family only has two acres of thin land. It seems that I have no choice but to sell it."
"Not drinking water can really kill people. The old lady from the Zhang family at the end of the alley died of lack of water."
"Isn't there urine? In my family, we all pee and drink each other's urine."
"She peed on her kids and grandchildren, who cares about an old lady like her?"
Xie Ling looked around again and found that the leaves and bark on the sycamore trees, as well as the grass roots on the roadside, had all been plucked out.
I guess it wants to absorb moisture from it.
Xie Ling shook her head. She had water, but she was not a saint and she could not save so many people.
When I pushed open the door of Yu's house, I saw Yu Yichou carrying a bucket and cooking porridge in front of the stove.
After seeing Xie Ling, he asked, "Miss Xie, have you eaten yet? Do you want me to cook your portion?"
Xie Ling shook her head, "Why is there still water in your house?"
Yu Yichou pointed to the sky and said, "I know a little about astrology. I knew three months ago that Jincheng would be hit by a drought, so I stored a lot of water. It's enough for Qingyun and I to eat for several months. Do you want some?"
"No, I have water."
When Xie Ling came out after changing Yu Qingyun's medicine, Yu Yichou's porridge had just been cooked and he was sitting under a tree eating it.
Both of them had something to say, and Xie Ling gestured to Yu Yichou to speak.
Yu Yichou told Xie Ling the information he had obtained without any hesitation.
That’s why water is being sold these days, and Zhou Hui is planning to deal with the exiled prisoners.
Xie Ling was slightly angry and slammed his hand on the table, "How treacherous! We were the ones who killed the tiger in Hujiangou, but now it has become a tool for Zhou Hui and those noble families to make money!"
Yu Yichou continued: "Xie Xiaomei, I will take you to a place."
The place where Yu Yichou took Xie Ling was a mass grave on the outskirts of the city.
Corpses were piled together, and the ground was filled with dirty yellow rotten water. It looked extremely horrific, and a strong stench of corpses could be smelled from afar.
Yu Yichou smelled it and couldn't help vomiting, then hurried to the tree.
After a long while, he came back, holding his waist, "Although Jincheng was sealed, there were still people suffering from the plague. In order to achieve political achievements, Zhou Hui threw all the people suffering from the plague into that place, and killed those who were not dead and threw them in again."
He stared at Xie Ling with some admiration.
Such a horrifying place, even a grown man like him felt sick just by looking at it, so how come Xie Ling had no expression on his face?
Xie Ling asked, "How long has this place existed?"
Yu Yichou replied: "Half a month."
The corpse water seeped into the ground, spread, infected countless plants, and carried many viruses in the air.
It is estimated that many people have already contracted the disease, but are still in the incubation period.
"Within three days, the epidemic in Jincheng will surely break out."
Yu Yichou was a little surprised, "So fast?"
Xie Ling glanced at the sea of blood and corpses in the distance again, then turned back and said, "I agree to be a goddess, but you have to tell me your plan."
