The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin

Chapter 68 Continue the Journey

At this time, Wang Li and the other two were having dinner, and Zhu Gui came over to report: "Village leader, Commander Du and the two village owners have arrived!"

Hu Sanniang subconsciously wanted to hide, but Zheng Yu'e stopped her and said, "Don't worry, your sister is here." The three of them stood up and came out to greet her.

Hu Taigong stood at the door of Liangshan Sentinel Inn, and after being introduced by Du Yu, he looked at Wang Li in front of him. He was dressed in a long robe, with an imposing manner, which was completely different from Hu Sanniang's temperament.

Wang Li smiled and bowed, saying, "Master Hu, Master Li, I have long heard of your great name. It is a great honor to meet you today. Please come in quickly."

"Master Wang, I'm here to take my daughter home." Hu Taigong spoke directly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and worry in his voice.

Wang Li smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Master Hu. We didn't hurt your daughter. She is fine now."

"Dad, Sanniang doesn't want to go back now! I want to join Liangshan." Hu Sanniang said while hiding behind Zheng Yu'e.

Hu Taigong was so angry that he was about to explode, but Hu Cheng quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, Sanniang is still young, try to persuade her again!"

"You're already 20 years old and you're still young? You've been protecting her since she was a child, look at what she's become!"

A group of people looked at this scene and didn't know what to say. Du Fu interrupted and said, "Brother Hu, let our village leader check Brother Li's injuries first!"

"Oh, Brother Li is injured? Come in quickly." Wang Li hurriedly helped Li Ying to the backyard to heal his wounds, and before leaving, he asked Zheng Yu'e to entertain Hu Taigong and others.

When they arrived at the backyard, Li Ying and his companions saw a group of wounded soldiers from Zhujiazhuang along the way and were impressed by the righteousness of Liangshan.

Some of them knew Li Ying, after all, they were from the same place, and they all wondered, "Li Ying was also captured?" However, due to their status, they could not talk to Li Ying, and it was not convenient to ask Du Xing, so they just stood up and said hello.

Li Ying also asked a few questions out of concern, and when he found that Liang Shan was very nice to them, he nodded secretly.

Wang Li went to the temporary medical room and waited for him. When Li Ying came in, he checked him and found that the injury was not serious, but there were still some hidden injuries from the past.

Wang Li said, "Master Li, this injury is not serious. You just need to rest for a few days. But, did you have a leg injury 20 years ago?"

Li Ying was surprised and asked, "How did the village chief know? The injury has long been healed, and I am not feeling any discomfort."

"It's fine now, but it still hurts a bit when it's cloudy or rainy. I can't live without a cane when I'm old."

Du Xing asked anxiously, "How did Village Master Wang know? What should we do?"

Li Ying was open-minded: "Master Wang, don't worry. As long as the injury is not serious, it's fine. There's no need to worry about so many things."

Wang Li smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a way!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of paper and pen and wrote a recipe for medicinal wine, saying, "Master Li, use these things to make strong wine. Drink some every day and you will see improvement!"

Li Ying looked at the prescription that mentioned both snakes and centipedes and had no doubts. He was knowledgeable and knew that these things could be used as medicine, but he didn't know how to make wine with them.

Wang Li ordered Du Fu, "Brother Du Fu, go get a jar of Hero Wine!"

After a while, Du Fu came in with a jar of wine. Wang Li said, "This wine is best for soaking medicine. Come and try it!"

After tasting the wine, the two praised it for being good. Wang Li told them how to make the wine and then changed the subject, "Master Li, how about we talk about the business of the winery?"

Li Ying reacted, looked at the wine in disbelief and asked: "But this, hero wine?"

Wang Li nodded and said, "I'll sell you 10,000 for a bucket of wine. I can supply you 500 buckets a month, but you can only sell it outside Shandong. How do you do that?"

Li Ying is not stupid. This wine is good wine. It is not a problem to sell it for 20,000 per dou. Xinfeng Fine Wine sells for 10,000 per dou. This is better than Xinfeng Fine Wine! This is a gross profit of 5,000 guan this month. How can it be so good?

Even though Li Ying was worth a lot of money, he was moved. However, he thought that there was no free lunch and Liangshan might have other things to do, so he said, "Captain Wang, is there anything else I can help you with?"

When Wang Li heard this, he knew he had found the right person, so he said, "Liangshan needs horses, wood, iron, cloth, cotton, medicinal herbs, etc. I hope Master Li can help."

Li Ying frowned and said, "Other things are easy to say, but the horse trade in Shandong is dominated by Zengtou City, and horses from outside cannot be brought in. It is also very expensive to buy them in Zengtou City. There are also horses in other places in Shandong, but they are more expensive than Zengtou City, so it is not cost-effective."

Wang Li nodded and said, "It's okay, Master Li, please deal with other things first. Cotton is the most urgent thing, so just do your best with the horses."

"Thank you so much, Master Wang. I will do my best!" Li Ying and Du Xing stood up and bowed.

Wang Li smiled and said, "Happy cooperation!" Then he said embarrassedly, "Master Li, go out and help persuade Master Hu. We have left him 500 buckets of wine. Tell him not to embarrass Sanniang. My wife has already recognized her as her adopted sister!"

"Haha, no problem. Mr. Hu will agree to it. Don't worry, village chief!" Li Ying made the assurance happily and then said goodbye and left.

Zhu Gui brought the food to Wang Li, and Wang Li continued to eat with Du Fu. As for Li Ying and others, Zhu Gui and others would entertain them, so there was no need for Wang Li to show up.

Zhu Gui prepared four dishes and a soup for Wang Li and Du Fu. It was quite rich, with golden roast chicken, tender roast meat, fragrant stewed fish... Every dish was mouth-watering, and it was obvious that these dishes were all passed down by Wang Li.

They were enjoying the food and talking about their future plans. The scenery in the courtyard was also very beautiful: the green bamboo forest, the clear stream, the quaint pavilions... everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful.

In those days, a dou of wine weighed only about two kilograms. There were so many idle people on Liangshan who brewed wine every day. If there was enough food, they could brew several thousand dou of wine a month. Except for their own use and supplying the Liangshan scout hotel, the rest could only be sold.

But it was not easy to find a partner. He had already set his sights on Li Ying, who had both the skills and connections. This seemed much better than forcing him to join Liangshan, because forcing him to join would only make him idle and was not worth it.

Now that he had a market channel, Wang Li thought about making some soap or something when he came back this time. Liangshan couldn't just rely on robbery to survive, the people who came to Liangshan had to be utilized as well.

Wang Li graduated from a medical university with good grades in chemistry, so it was no problem for him to make soaps, perfumes, and cosmetics. Although the status of women in that era was not high, their purchasing power was not bad. The ladies with imperial titles, wives, and concubines were all powerful consumers, not to mention the numerous prostitutes and famous prostitutes.

No matter what era, it is still the easiest to make money from women...

After Wang Li came out after finishing his meal, the matter was settled here, and Hu Taigong also agreed to let Hu Sanniang stay in Liangshan.

At this time, Hu Taigong walked up to Wang Li with a rosy face and bowed, saying, "Master Wang, please take good care of Sanniang. Please!"

Wang Li nodded and agreed, "Please rest assured, Mr. Hu, we will treat Sanniang like our own family." His words revealed a warmth and kindness, which made people feel his kindness and sincerity.

Hu Taigong turned and left, his heart full of emotion. He didn't want his daughter to stay in Liangshan, but he couldn't offend Liangshan.

But he couldn't give up this real benefit, not to mention that he also got half of the real estate of Zhujiazhuang. He could only pray silently, and he left his daughter's soldiers in Liangshan, hoping that she could live a happy life in this big family of Liangshan.

Li Ying also said goodbye and left. Wang Li watched them leave. Du Fu also went to Zhujiazhuang to preside over work. Their figures gradually went away in the afterglow of the setting sun until they disappeared from sight.

By the next day, the matter of Zhujiazhuang was settled. More than 50 dan of grain were seized (excluding those distributed to the people), gold and silver property totaling more than 40 strings of cash, more than 5 war horses, and a number of cattle, donkeys, mules and sheep.

Although the spoils were not as much as the ones Song Jiang captured when he conquered the three villages in Dulonggang, it was still good. The important thing was that there was an additional sales channel. Wang Li was still very satisfied.

After arranging Luan Tingyu and Jiao Su to return to Liangshan to form the Sixth Regiment of the Second Cavalry Infantry Division, Wang Li and his party set off again, first heading for Kurushu Mountain. This time, there were Hu Sanniang and Yang Lin on the road. The arrival of Hu Sanniang added a touch of color to the team, and the joining of Yang Lin, a social man, would make the trip less troublesome.
