Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 86 Gamble or not?
Eating his own, drinking his own, seeing no one at the critical moment, and holding his opponent's stinky feet, let alone Song Qingshu who has experienced bloody fights in the last days, even if Song Qingshu didn't have the cowardly character before time travel, he can't bear it Yes, you still want to have fun with me?Go drink the northwest wind!

As promised, I took Xing Hongniang and Caiwei to ride a tricycle in Xi'an City for two days. After two days of relaxation, Song Qingshu's small restaurant opened again. This time, he stopped doing the takeaway business. The three honest tenants who brought back stayed to be the mistresses, plus the two little carrots, the two Qiaoer and Xiaobao brothers could support the whole tavern very well. .

People are not benevolent and I am not righteous. At the beginning, Xing Youfu, De Zhang and his gang used the words of the time to talk about betraying the master, and then they were not polite. Even Old Man Xing, an old Jianghu, couldn't find anything wrong with Song Qingshu. The three of them had no choice but to eat and wait to die in the small courtyard of Mr. Xing's house.

But at this time, Xing Youfu is not in a hurry. Isn't Liu Dazhuzi, their senior brother, the head arrester?I looked down on Song Qingshu, a fool, at worst, and then hang out with Liu Dazhuzi. Isn't working as a policeman in the government much more beautiful than being a waiter in a restaurant?

But after a few days, these people were disappointed again. In order to win over these senior brothers, Liu Dazhuzi promised to get them all into the government, but then he changed his mind. They left, and when they met, they talked about him left and right, and avoided talking about him.

Mr. Xing is not a cash machine either. The old man is now relying on Song Qingshu's monthly support to spend his filial piety in his old age. How can he have so much extra money to support them, the thirteen old men? Because of the teacher-student relationship, he can squeeze out some surplus food Give it to them, this is not reduced to starvation, everyone is also hungry and full after spending all the wages earned a while ago, and only then do they know what it means to not respond every day and not to work.

But at this time Song Qingshu was not in the mood to find this group of foodies, and the trouble of Liu Dazhuzi. After reopening, the store has become bigger and its reputation has grown, and it is no longer limited to county government officials and government school students. Many celebrities and dignitaries of Xi'an city also came here especially, relatively speaking, there were more troublesome things.

Song Qingshu still has to worry about the matter at Funiuzhai. The wealthy merchant Wang Hao in Hanzhong is quite interesting. Hanzhong Bashu is fertile and wild, and there is actually a lot of surplus grain. The price is still cheap, but at this time Qu Botao doesn't know It's not that I was fascinated by some Western women in Guangzhou, and I haven't come back yet.

On the one hand, the epidemic in the late Ming Dynasty could be said to be a natural disaster, on the other hand, it was indeed a man-made disaster. The drought caused thousands of miles of desolation in the north. , On the other hand, the so-called anti-corruption, the imperial court intentionally or unintentionally prevented the food from the south from entering the north.

Of course, that's something to say later, Song Qingshu has nothing to do with court affairs now, he just wants to live a good life and live comfortably.But this food embargo really made him miserable. After the autumn harvest in the past two months, the Guanzhong Plain in southern Shaanxi, which has not yet been destroyed, also lost more than half of the harvest due to drought and abandonment. The price of food has increased instead of falling. Doumi has risen to four or five taels of silver, and coarse wheat is more than one tael, and a lot of the harvested autumn grain has been forcibly earned by the government. As military rations, even less has flowed into the market. Song Qingshu dare not buy more of these grains.

Buying too much can be called hoarding food, and the plot is wrong!Not to mention that the government came to trouble you, there are many small households in Xi'an city who can't survive, and the hungry people can hate you to death.

However, selling grain in other places is also full of risks. This is the time when Shaanxi is short of grain, but the grain merchants in Hanzhong and Bashu dare not traffic it in at all. Without him, the officials and people in Shaanxi are all thieves now. It is impossible to maintain the administrative order at the village level. The grain trucks were brought in, but they were looted by hungry people without reason. White note, wait to exchange for silver, next life!
The risk is so great, Qu Botao is not around, and the shopkeepers of his carriage shop are refusing to sell it to Song Qingshu. They help him to bring some Bashu rice here and there, and they buy it in other counties as if they were stealthy thieves. However, only five to six thousand dans of sorghum rice, corn and other miscellaneous grains were transported to Funiu Mountain, and more than 300 dans of refined rice and white noodles were transported to Funiu Mountain.

Fortunately, Shangnan County Prime Minister was replaced by Wang Haocai, a money-hungry scholar, who missed two zeros when collecting taxes, otherwise Shazigou and Funiu Mountain would not be able to survive the winter this year.

Now I can only pray to God for some face and some food, let alone the three thousand catties of old man Xing, if there is one thousand catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes, Song Qingshu can be regarded as a Buddhist.

There is also a third point, which worries Song Qingshu the most, that is, the heir of King Qin in the Palace of King Qin. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", this guy still has 17 years of prosperity and wealth, and he can live comfortably with his back on a big tree. Ten years, and then save money to run to the south, but according to the academic journals that his supervisor does not know to rely on, this year is his deadline.It doesn't matter if he dies, the political struggle in ancient China is all about extermination. If his younger brother, the second child of the King of Qin who was ruined by him, is allowed to sit on the position of King Qin, he will still have good fruit to eat?
No wonder the green-haired fox didn't glare angrily before he died, but smiled strangely. I'm afraid that Zhang Xianzhong will be unfavorable to him. He is so confident that he will show his trump card in the end to threaten him, but the old fox didn't count it. Zhang Xianzhong was so murderous without blinking an eye, but when he died, he also dragged himself into the quagmire.

This matter has not been sent to Zhang Xianzhong to explain, you said that the prince of Qin Wang died this year, who would believe it?

In fact, the best way now is to drop everything in the city and hide in Funiu Mountain with his family. At worst, he will hide in the mountain and never come out. Even Qin Wang's second child can't do anything about him, but!It is really not reconciled to throw away such a huge foundation effort!

In the past two days, Song Qingshu ran to Prince Qin's mansion whenever he had the chance, and gave Qin Shizi as much food supplements as possible to strengthen his physique, making Eunuch Kan think that Song Qingshu was going to enter the palace to compete with him.

…………

The front chef, Caiwei has almost learned Song Qingshu's dim sum and bread skills. As for the two-knife western cuisine, Han Juan has basically mastered it, and there is also spicy and spicy stir-fry. Taking Song Qingshu's place, he was busy in the kitchen, but to the outside world, he still had the name of a silly chef.

Song Qingshu's room was also changed from shotguns to cannons. Taking advantage of Qin Shizi's prestige, he bought several nearby shops at a low price. Song Qingshu moved his home into the big study of Boss Qian, who originally sold silk and satin. There were beds, bookshelves and so on, and the beds were changed. The quilt is ready to move in.

But if someone walks into the room at this time, they will be shocked. In the famous silly big kitchen, there is a strong musty smell lingering. There was an unpleasant smell, and there was a jar with a hole in the bottom next to it, and a cloudy liquid dripped down.

In fact, there was also glass in ancient China, but it was not transparent, and the firing process was complicated. The light blue liquid was shaking gently.

Just like saving Caiwei last time, Song Qingshu has been busy preparing penicillin since he came back, but this time it seems that he was out of luck. This is the fourth extraction, and the antibacterial experiment with urine is considered to be effective. The Ming Dynasty was indeed more valuable than real gold and silver, but looking at this thing, Song Qingshu's face was full of confusion.

He had inquired clearly about Prince Qin's illness, which was tuberculosis, and in future generations it would be tuberculosis!
In Song Qingshu's era, this disease was no longer incurable. At least a few of Song Qingshu's classmates were diagnosed with tuberculosis in high school, and they were all cured later. But the problem is that none of Song Qingshu heard that it was cured with traditional Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine has its own magic, and Song Qingshu does not deny the efficacy of Chinese medicine, but how much Chinese medicine Qin Shizi has taken, and it is true that what he eats now is not as good as a skeleton, although Song Qingshu sent a lot of protein in the past two days Like milk, cakes, milk tofu, etc., and yogurt to regulate the spleen and stomach, Qin Shizi seems to have gained some flesh, but when he heard him coughing, Song Qingshu was still terrified.

It's also fortunate that his status is low and he is not qualified to come to the front, otherwise Song Qingshu would be really afraid of contagion!

To cure tuberculosis, the best medicine is antibiotics, so when he came back, Song Qingshu started to fight against the moldy steamed buns and noodles, trying his best to recreate penicillin.

But after the things were finished, Song Qingshu hesitated again. He remembered hearing from a classmate who was good enough that streptomycin was used to cure tuberculosis. He didn't know whether penicillin was effective or not!
And who ruled?Prince Qin's son!These days, there is no doctor-patient relationship to protect him. If penicillin is useless and Qin Shizi dies, then he won't even have the chance to run away, so just pay for it!Even Caiwei and Hongniang Xing will be unlucky!

But if he doesn't use it, he really doesn't know how long Qin Shizi can endure it!And if Qin Shizi can be cured, with his influence of Zhu Cunshu, Song Qingshu will be prosperous!The benefits he got were even greater than winning the lottery. Song Qingshu couldn't help being jealous when he thought of that kind of bonus.

Or, send Caiwei and the others to the countryside first, and then try it yourself!Take a gamble?
This is really desperate!Staring fixedly at the crystal clear glass bottle in his hand, Song Qingshu's plain face was showing a sinister look at this time, and the back of the hand holding the bottle was full of blue veins.

"Fool! Get out and meet me!"

Just when Song Qingshu was concentrating on thinking about gains and losses, a disrespectful loud voice suddenly sounded from downstairs, and he couldn't help shaking his hands. In astonishment, Song Qingshu watched the glass bottle slip from his hand and fell on the floor. Like a group of blooming flowers, they scattered and burst apart amidst the crisp sound.

"Which damn father dares to scold me!" Song Qingshu, whose hair almost stood up in anger, and whose eyes were red, couldn't help the anger, grabbed the special firecracker that Liu Zongmin had specially made for him, and groaned angrily. Humph, he kicked open the door and ran downstairs, no matter who he was, he wanted him to look good! ! !
