I trade in both worlds

He specifically asked his colleagues to help him purchase a complete set of surgical instruments, which were small and exquisite.

Xu Ziqi knew that this was undoubtedly an extremely precious set of medical tools in ancient times.

Early in the morning, Xu Ziqi got on a donkey cart heading for the county town. Along the way, he was thinking about how he would bring up the household registration issue with Dr. He.

At this time in Rendetang, Doctor He had just arrived at the clinic and was about to make a pot of tea when Xu Ziqi came in.

As soon as Xu Ziqi saw Doctor He's back after entering the room, he immediately greeted him, "Doctor He."

Doctor He turned around and saw that it was Xu Ziqi. He smiled in surprise and said, "Oh, Xu boy is here."

"Doctor He, long time no see." Xu Ziqi bowed to him.

"Come, come, come." Doctor He walked up quickly and took his arm and walked into the yard: "I've been thinking about you these days, and now you're finally here."

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Xu Ziqi asked curiously.

"I've had some thoughts recently, and there are still some things I can't figure out. It's a good thing that you're here, so let's discuss it." Doctor He brought Xu Ziqing to the reception room.

After inviting Xu Ziqi to sit down, he asked the apprentice to help serve tea and snacks.

Then the output started to crackle.

The two of them chatted back and forth for more than an hour.

Doctor He took a sip of tea and suddenly felt relaxed. He was finally in the mood to care about Xu Ziqi: "Xu boy, why did you think of coming here today?"

"I've got something good for you." He took out a wooden box and handed it to him.

This box was something Xu Ziqi asked Xu Xu for in the morning.

Doctor He took the wooden box suspiciously: "What good stuff is there?"

"You'll know once you open it." Xu Ziqi replied with a smile.

Doctor He slowly opened the box, and inside was a set of surgical instruments that gleamed with cold light, including knives, scissors, pliers, and everything else.

This material was something he had never seen before: "This... is this a surgical tool? It seems a little different from Doctor Shang's tools."

Xu Ziqi smiled and nodded: "Yes, but I have never seen the tools of the Death Doctor, so I don't know what's different."

Doctor He gently picked up a scalpel and examined it carefully: "What is it made of? It doesn't look like iron, nor does it look like silver."

Xu Ziqi shook his head: "I don't know either. I asked someone to buy it from a foreign country."

Doctor He nodded, stroking the scalpel lovingly: "Then I won't be polite to you."

"You're welcome. I just happen to want to ask you something." Xu Ziqi decided to get straight to the point.

"Oh?" Doctor He put down the scalpel in his hand and looked at him with confusion: "What's the matter? Just tell me directly."

"Doctor He, I'll be honest with you." Xu Ziqi looked at him with a sad face: "I'm from the south, and my family offended a local senior official. Now there are only my sister and I here."

He lowered his head and sighed heavily, "In order to avoid our enemies, we can't even use our own names."

Doctor He looked at him seriously, as if he wanted to know whether what he said was true or false.

Xu Ziqi didn't dare to look up at him, for fear that he would notice something.

He lowered his head and continued sadly, "My sister is old and no longer suitable to run around with me. I want to buy a house in the county town and get a mortgage."

"Do you want to find someone to get a fake household registration for you?" Doctor He asked seriously.

"No, I want to get a real household registration so that my brother and I can live here in anonymity." Xu Ziqi quickly looked up and looked at him sincerely.

He felt that his acting skills had reached the peak of his life at this point.

Doctor He thought for a moment and said, "I'll show you the way. Go to the third store on the back street and ask for Chen San. He can help you, but his fee is not cheap."

I don’t know whether Dr. He believed the story he made up. Anyway, Dr. He didn’t ask, and he wouldn’t say anything on his own initiative.

However, he guessed that Dr. He probably didn't believe what he said.

"What does he do?" Xu Ziqi asked, but was afraid that Doctor He would be suspicious, so he hurriedly explained, "I live with my sister by myself, so I have to be cautious."

Doctor He nodded to show his understanding: "It's okay, he's just a broker, he gets paid to do the job, don't worry."

"Thank you, Doctor He." Xu Ziqi stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Doctor He waved his hand and said, "I didn't help you with anything. Go now. Go earlier and get it done earlier."

Following Doctor He's instructions, Xu Ziqi found Chen San's house. The two wooden doors had faded, and Xu Ziqi knocked gently a few times.

After a while, I heard someone approaching and asking, "Who is it?"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a dark face. He looked at Xu Ziqing expressionlessly.

"Excuse me, is this Chen San's residence?" Xu Ziqi asked respectfully.

"I am Chen San." Chen San replied: "What do you want from me?"

"Hello, Broker Chen. I heard from Doctor He that you can handle household registration documents here?" Xu Ziqi asked in a low voice.

Chen San looked at him for a few times and opened the door: "Come in and talk."

Xu Ziqi followed Chen San to the main room.

As soon as he sat down, Chen San said, "It's not easy to handle household registration documents. It requires a lot of money and connections. Are you sure you want to do it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqi's tense mood suddenly relaxed.

As long as you can get it done, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money.

Xu Ziqing asked hesitantly, "I have some silver, but I don't know if it's enough."

Chen San nodded and said nothing more.

He stood up and walked to the bookshelf beside him, took down a thick book and started flipping through it.

After a while, he turned around and said to Xu Ziqi, "It costs five hundred taels of silver per person to process household registration documents, and some connections are also needed. If you can pay this amount, I can help you get it done."

Looking at the fingers he pointed at, it was 600 taels per person, which was unexpectedly low.

But you still have to bargain if you need to.

Xu Ziqi looked embarrassed and asked cautiously, "Can it be less? My sister and I need to apply for household registration and we also want your help to buy a house in the county."

Hearing that he still wanted to buy a house, Chen San started thinking about the next business deal: "At most I'll give you 50 taels. I'll just make some hard work money."

Xu Ziqi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it."

"Then pay a deposit of one hundred taels first, and come over three days later to pay the balance and get the household registration documents." Chen San said.

Xu Ziqi took out a silver note of 100 taels and handed it to him: "Do you want me to get a receipt?"

Hearing this, Chen San retracted his outstretched hand and looked at him suspiciously: "There is no receipt. If you catch him for this, you will be punished. If you want to do it, do it. If not, forget it."
