Over the Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan, there is a small shop. The owner of the shop is Li Shen. He claims to be a priest with a high level of cultivation, but in fact he is a fortune teller. Every day, I tell fortunes and make money in a small shop.
Li Shen claimed to be Li Banxian , claiming to know everything and know everything. He knew fifty years ago and fifty years later, but in fact, he didn't know fortune-telling so well. Sometimes he succeeded, sometimes he didn't. So business Not very good, the money you earn every day is barely enough to make a living.
After a while, Li Shen found that there was an extra boy next to his small shop.
The boy wore a black horn scarf on his head. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was fair and clean and looked handsome. He claims to be , and he mainly makes a living by selling lychees. His lychees are not rotten and taste very delicious. The key is that they are cheap and everyone loves them. In the summer, eating a few lychees will help relieve the heat.
So, in a few days, from wealthy families to poor people, almost everyone bought his lychees to eat. After some literati and scholars ate it, they praised the young man, saying that when , Yang Guifei, , had to send people to transport it from Fujian to , Minghuang of Tang, , and they didn't expect that they could eat it.
On this day, Li Shen couldn't hold it in and asked, "Young man, do you say you are from southern Fujian? Did you transport these lychees from your hometown, right?"
The young man nodded and said that's it.
Li Shen asked again: "As far as I know, it's almost 3,000 miles from to our Kaifeng . You don't take a boat or ride a horse from to Kaifeng. I came here on foot, I have to walk for two or three months, right? Wouldn't your lychee be broken? "
The boy smiled and said, "If you don't take preservation measures, let alone two months, in such a hot weather, It was two days ago, and the lychees were already smelly. To be honest, I will have exclusive preservation technology, so it can keep the lychees fresh and tender, the taste will not change at all, and it will even be more beautiful. "
Li Shen didn't believe it and asked, "After all," What preservation technology is so powerful? "
The boy pretended to be mysterious. He looked at the left and right and looked over and said in a low voice: "Brother, I tell you, you don't want to tell others! Pick the lychees that are about to be ripe After that, put it in a new porcelain jar, pour it on a few times of fire wine (sauce wine), and then use my exclusive secret medicine to put it in it, so that it can keep it fresh. Not to mention a mere two or three thousand miles away, it is only ten thousand Lever, give it to Chang'e and to eat it, which can also make the lychees extremely delicious and will not break at all. "
Li Shen knows that the exclusive secret medicine will definitely not be said, and it may not be true if you say it, so you will no longer be confused. Medicine, asked: "But, why do you sell such a delicious thing at such a low price? If you raise the price of this kind of baby by 20% more, there are still many people who come to buy it!"
The boy pretended to be surprised and said : "Ah, is that so? I don't know. I only know that in our Lingnan area, lychees are so cheap!"
Li Shen sneered in his heart, disliked him for being unaware, but smiled on his face and said, "Young man Ah, think about it, are there many lychees in your Lingnan? Since there are too many, they are naturally not worth it. As the saying goes, rare things are expensive. We don’t produce lychees here. Only if you sell lychees, then you sell them more expensively. OK! ”
The boy suddenly realized and said he knew.
In the next few days, the boy really raised the price, but only targeted those powerful people. For the rich, he raised the price by 30%; for the poor, he did not raise the price, and even lowered the price.
Li Shen didn’t know that in addition to telling fortunes to others every day, he would just see the boy selling lychees. The boy seemed to be very grateful to him and would give him some lychees every day.
After observing for a few days, Li Shen suddenly remembered a question: This young man can sell a big man of lychees every day, which is thirty or fifty kilograms.Where did he get so many lychees alone? Could it be that he transported many lychees from Lingnan at one time? In that case, how could he bring it himself? If it wasn't for a lot of transportation at one time, would he go back to Lingnan every night and then to Kaifeng to sell lychees in the morning? How could he complete it overnight after six thousand miles back and forth? Could it be, could it be... Could it be that he is not a human? Or is he a god?
Thinking of this, Li Shen was shocked and decided to see it clearly.
On this day, Li Shen pretended to go to chat with the boy and took a look at lychees. He found that the lychees were fresher and tenderer than before, and their colors were brighter, as if they were just ripe. It has been a while since the lychees mature. If they keep fresh after they are picked, they should be more mature after these days. How can they be more tender than before?
There is something strange about it. I am afraid that this boy is not simple, Li Shen confirmed the doubts in his heart. After thinking it through
, Li Shen deliberately closed the stall very late, one hour later than usual. After the boy sold out the lychees and left with a large urn on his back, it was already evening. While it was getting late, Li Shen followed the boy quietly, and he wanted to find out the matter.
Li Shen secretly followed the boy to an inn. It seemed that the boy lived in the inn.
for a while, Li Shen found that the boy lived in the first room with a size of A, but he also bought the second room, which was very strange. He is alone and has no packages, so why do he want two rooms? After Li Shen told his boss, he lived in the third room with a size of A.
At the second update, Li Shen, who had been awake, heard the movement. Everyone fell asleep but didn't hear it. So he slipped over quietly, but fortunately the second room was not locked. After he slipped in, he stared at the boy's room through the gaps between the walls and windows.
I saw the boy take out the big jar, take out some soil from a package, put the soil in a large jar, and then rub the large jar constantly, and soon wipe it clean. The boy took out a pair of long copper chopsticks and put them in the soil to stir. After stirring, he took out an litchi core and put it in the soil. Then he kept brushing the soil with his hands, and kept saying something in his mouth, as if he was chanting a spell.
After reciting the spell for a while, the boy suddenly became a "squirrel flying" and jumped onto the beam wood, then hung a golden hook upside down, clamped the beam wood with his legs, head down, and his hands naturally drooped.
Li Shen was shocked when he saw it and almost screamed. He thought the boy should make big moves, so he kept watching.
Unexpectedly, after the boy hung upside down, he went to bed directly. Li Shen looked at it for a while and was ready to go to bed. Just as he was about to go to bed, the boy had already woken up. He got off the beam and saw the big urn and continued to chant the spell.
Li Shen was surprised to find that the lychee kernel in the big jar actually sprouted and leaves grew quickly, growing at an extremely fast speed and visible to the naked eye.
Soon, the lychees grew a lot, slowly bloomed, and the flowers fell and bear fruit. By the fourth day, the lychees were already full of lychees, and soon the lychees were ripe. The boy broke the lychees with branches and leaves, then cut off the remaining lychees and put them in one place. The boy stretched out his hands, separated his five fingers, and then fought together, retracted his middle finger, forming a strange gesture. He recited another spell, and suddenly the lychees were burning. In a moment, the lychee rhizomes were burned out.
At this time, it was already dawn. The boy packed up the package, took out the soil from the large urn, put it in the package, and then cleaned the large urn and put the mature lychees inside.
Seeing this, Li Shen already knew what was going on. He hid in the house and did not dare to speak. He quietly closed the door, and then quietly opened the door after confirming that the boy had left. And now, everyone hasn't woken up yet.
Li Shen went to the small shop to tell fortunes. When the boy was about to sell out the lychees, he bought good wine and dishes, and took the boy to his house for a few drinks.
The boy did not refuse and went with him with a big urn on his back.
After getting home, Li Shen and the boy drank and ate vegetables. When they were drunk, Li Shen bowed to the boy, begging him to teach him his skills, and said that he would kneel down.
The boy pulled him up and said, "I already know that you peeked at me in the middle of the night when I planted lychees.If I'm not wrong, do you want to learn this skill from me? "
Li Shenwan didn't expect that the boy actually knew about the peeking incident. He quickly apologized and expressed his willingness to learn this skill, because his life was not easy, and he wanted to learn some skills, support himself, and live a good life .
The boy said, "The lychees bloom and bear fruit in an instant. You also know that this kind of thing is the matter of the gods. If you want to become an immortal, you must have the bones of immortals, otherwise it will be of no benefit to learn it. "
Li Shen refused to give up, but he still asked the young man to teach his skills.
The young man looked at the jar on the ground and said, "I see, in addition to fortune-telling, you also sell some medicine, right? Is this the umbi cream? It seems useless, and I haven't seen you sell a can of it in ten days. "
Li Shen was embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes, my black whisker paste was originally a craft passed down from my ancestors. After being matched, if a person takes it, he can make his white hair turn black and his appearance younger. However, by my generation, I have forgotten the prescription and can only configure it myself based on my father's writings, but the effect is very bad, so I can't sell it. "
At this time, the boy took out a pack of things from his arms and took out a very small pill from his bag, emerald green. He handed it to Li Shen and said, "Put this pill in my pill in a can In the black whisker ointment, your black whisker ointment will be very effective in the future. After selling it, continue to put the whisker paste in it, and the effect is the same. In this way, you can continue to sell medicine and make money without having to make a living (referring to sitting in a small shop to do business). "
After saying that, the boy gave Li Shen the medicine and disappeared immediately. Li Shen was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Then, a voice came from the air: "If you want the black beard to be effective, you must have a righteous face in your heart . Once there was evil intention, there was no money or medicine. "
Li Shen knew that this was the boy telling him that being a person should be just and not be evil for money, so he hurriedly agreed.
Li Shen put the medicine in a jar, and the medicine immediately emitted a strange fragrance. He tried to give it to the old man After taking it, the old man turned gray and black all night. He suddenly became thirty years younger and seemed to have become younger.
Since then, Li Shen started selling black beard cream and soon became rich.
Weeks After hearing this, the king (the fief of King Zhou of Ming Dynasty was in Kaifeng) asked Li Shen to go to the palace, reward him with a lot of money, and bought a lot of black and whisker paste.
Later, Li Shen traveled all over the world and sold black and whisker paste, and soon Get rich, get married and have children.
