Chapter 19 Finally got an identity

The green tile roof, red pillars and carved beams, the door lintel is more than ten meters wide, and the four-open door is extremely spacious.

There are big red lanterns hanging on both sides, stone lions squatting below, and on the top in the center,

"Although the preparation is complicated, we dare not save labor."

"No matter how expensive the taste is, you should not sacrifice material resources."

Chen Ku walked into the facade of this powerful force in Baojiao County.

After crossing the threshold, the steps go downwards.

That is to say, the street level is several floors higher than Yaowangtang. To enter, you have to go down several flights of steps, which is a depression.

He couldn't help but be curious.

With this kind of construction, not all water will leak in when it rains.

"Are you buying medicine?"

As soon as Chen Ku came in, a Yaowangtang clerk wearing a long gown came over.

As soon as the other party came close, he felt a rush of heat, giving him the feeling that the other party was in a hot-tempered big boy state, which could roast people.

When he looked at him again, he discovered that this Yaowangtang clerk's eyes were brighter than ordinary people's, his body was upright, and his whole body had a strong sense of energy.

This spirit is not like that of a waiter at all, because the other person has a sense of confidence, and this confidence comes from the Yaowangtang and the long gown on his body.

"No, I'm here to deliver the medicine." Chen Ku responded: "I don't know what to call brother?"

"My name is Wu Gui. Delivering? Delivering medicine?" Wu Gui said in surprise: "What kind of medicine are you delivering? The medicinal materials in Yaowangtang are all collected by people in the shop below. We don't accept private medicine."

Hearing this, Chen Ku was not disappointed, but smiled.

Then, he deliberately loudly attracted attention and said:

"Treasure grass! Don't you want to collect it too?"

The volume of this shout was so loud that many people in the Medicine King Hall looked sideways.

"Treasure grass?"

"Someone is here to deliver treasure grass?!"

Suddenly dozens of pairs of eyes focused on Chen Ku.

at the same time.

On the square chair on the counter, an old man with white hair and a childlike face, wearing a long black coat, was sitting there with his eyes closed, and he suddenly opened his eyelids and looked at Chen Ku.

When Wu Gui heard these two words, his face turned serious: "Treasure grass? Are you here to deliver treasure grass?"

Chen Ku said seriously: "Yes, I heard that there was a written document in Yaowang Hall that if anyone can pick a precious grass and bring it to Yaowang Hall, he can learn skills there. Is it true or not?"

Wu Gui was about to speak.

"Of course it's true!"

An old but loud voice suddenly came from the mouth of the old man sitting on the square chair. The voice was as powerful as if it could lift the roof:

"It is not cheap to recruit people to the Medicine King Hall, because there are real things to teach in the shop, so even if you start as a clerk, you will still need one hundred taels of silver to come to visit. But if there are treasures and herbs to offset it, the silver will be almost No, I’ll take you in directly.”

Talking

The old man walked over slowly, hands behind his back, step by step, steady and steady, with a strong aura and a majestic momentum of an old man.

"Dare I ask you for advice?" Chen Ku asked with his hands raised.

"I am the current master of Yaowang Hall. My surname is Nong and my given name is Baosen. I can decide everything that happens in this hall today, including accepting you." Nong Baosen looked at Chen Ku and looked at the basket behind his back. On the wooden box inside, he said: "But the box behind you must contain really precious grass."

Nong Baosen.

Chen Ku was in the countryside, so naturally he had never heard of this person, but since he claimed to be a pharmacist, there was no need to say more.

Then he took off the backpack:

"I'm about to ask your boss to help me."

Seeing Chen Ku's actions, other people buying medicine in Yaowang Hall, as well as dozens of clerks in the main hall, were all curiously attracted to see if it was a treasure grass.

Wait until Chen Ku opens the wooden box.

"Is this a lotus flower?"

"No, look carefully, this lotus flower actually has a ghost face."

"The plants are in different phases, what a treasure!"

"This young man is so lucky!"

"It seems that he has a poor background, but he has such luck. He picked up the ghost face lotus. Now he doesn't have to pay a penny, and he can go to the Medicine King Hall to learn skills..."

All around.

Many of the clerks at Yaowangtang looked at Chen Ku with envy.

Seventy to eighty percent of them came in with money.

This person is also very lucky.

Nong Baosen on the opposite side also nodded when he saw this: "Ghost-faced lotus, and it is still mature. The ghost-faced lotus with lotus seeds is indeed a good treasure grass."

Nong Baosen nodded in recognition.

Chen Ku also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although he was 90% sure that this must be the same treasure grass, he still didn't know what Yaowangtang would say.

At this time, Nong Baosen took action directly, picked up the two-foot-long ghost-faced lotus and looked at it. Then, he smiled bitterly at Chen and said:

"You are also lucky. You happen to come across a lotus seed with a ghost face and a lotus seed on it. The most valuable thing about this treasure plant is these lotus seeds. The ghost face and Buddha heart. Each lotus seed is worth four or five taels of silver. This kind of lotus seed, especially It is of great benefit to those practicing martial arts to control their vitality and replenish their essence. At least twenty of your lotus seeds alone are worth about one hundred taels of silver, not to mention that the ghost-faced lotus is also valuable."

Chen Ku felt regretful when he heard this. If he had known better, he would just dig up the lotus seeds and bring them to him, while Ghost Face He kept them himself.

It seemed that he had understood what Chen Ku was thinking.

Nong Baosen smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Yaowangtang won't take advantage of you. We've accepted it, you buddy. The treasured grass you sent is the equivalent of what you can get at Yaowangtang in the next year. This plant has a premium. Gui Mianhe, if you work as a waiter at Yaowangtang this year, your life will be much better than others."

Chen Ku understood, isn't this equivalent to paying to live in school and study skills? The more money you pay, the better the treatment you will get.

If you think so, it's not impossible.

At least, it is better to exchange the whole precious grass for a year of practice in Yaowangtang than to be exploited by Yaochai City.

He is using the huge size of Yaowangtang to reasonably avoid taxes and seek maximum benefits for himself.

"Then, when can the boy come to Yaowang Hall to learn skills?" Chen Ku asked.

"We can arrange for you to register today, and you will be given a long robe from our Yaowangtang clerk, and you will be given an identity certificate... If you have something to do, you can make a registration first, and then come back after you have dealt with the things around you, but the premise is, don't More than a month." Nong Baosen said.

"To be honest, I really have to go back to the village. Then, should I register first?" Chen Ku asked.

Nong Baosen nodded and said to Wu Gui next to him: "You, take him to the inner treasury to register, and then let them arrange for him to see which hospital he can go to to help."

"What do you call brothers?" Wu Gui asked.

"Don't dare, Chen Ku."

"Brother Chen, come with me."

Chen Ku just arrived at the backyard of Yaowang Hall. Along the way, he listened to what Wu Gui said to him:

"Congratulations to Brother Chen for entering the Medicine King Hall. However, as a newcomer like you, you can only start as a clerk. The tuition is for one year. During this year, if you show good martial arts training or medicine master If you have talent, you can become an 'apprentice'. If that doesn't work, you will either go home in the end, or become a real clerk like me, but that means you will be like this for the rest of your life, just a clerk."

"Thank you, Brother Wu, for the tip."

After a while, Chen Ku went to the warehouse and received his long robe belonging to Yaowangtang's clerk, and a wooden waistband with the words "Yaowangtang clerk xxx" written on it.

"With this piece of money, Brother Chen, you don't have to pay city fees when you go in and out of the inner city in the future, and you can also buy a yard to live in the county. This is the identity of Yaowangtang, and it is what most of us bought with one hundred taels of silver. "The most precious thing." Wu Gui said, "But you can only have it for one year. Whether you can still have it after one year depends on your personal ability."

Chen Ku clasped his fists, looked at this waistband, and thought to himself: "Isn't it just a temporary ID card and a residence and work permit?"

Temporary status is also identity.

However, it is indeed equivalent to being converted into half a county household.

With this Chongming identity on the surface, he can finally spend his shady money.

After completing the procedures for joining Yaowang Hall and saying hello, which was equivalent to taking more than half a month's leave, Chen Ku changed into a long gown from the county and walked towards the village with confident steps.

This wave is called wearing a long gown and returning home in fine clothes.
