As soon as he entered, Yan Guilai couldn't help but be surprised. He looked around and saw that the white-haired Grandmaster Chai was also in the medicine shop.
When he saw Yan Guilai walk in with a small bundle of Bloodline Grass, Grandmaster Chai couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected to see Yan Guilai again so soon.
Grandmaster Chai curiously looked at the bundle of Bloodline Grass in Yan Guilai's arms and said with a smile, "Little friend, we meet again. How … Where did you find so much Bloodline Grass?"
Yan Guilai was very happy to see Grandmaster Chai. He smiled and said, "In the forest behind. Take a look … What do you think of these Bloodline Grass?"
Grandmaster Chai walked in front of Yan Guilai and looked at the bundle of Bloodline Grass. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. These Bloodline Grass have complete stems and leaves. They are very good … Why? Do you want to sell them to our medicine shop?"
Our medicine shop?
When he heard Grandmaster Chai's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but be surprised. He asked curiously, "Why? Aren't you an instructor at Aoki University? How did you become the owner of a medicine shop? "
Grandmaster Chai smiled and shook his head. He said, "That's right. I did hire an instructor from the Wood Institute. This medicine shop was opened by my wife."
Nodding his head in understanding, Yan Gui Lai gently placed the small bundle of Bloodline Grass on the counter. With a smile, he said to the middle-aged beauty behind the counter, "Take a look, how much can these Bloodline Grass sell for?"
Looking at the Bloodline Grass, the middle-aged woman identified them carefully, then smiled and said, "There are a total of 127 stalks of Bloodline Grass. As the most basic Rank 1 Spiritual Grass, the price of each stalk is one silver tael. The total is 127 silver taels."
Frowning, Yan Gui Lai asked, "Why … is the price of a first grade spirit herb so cheap?"
Grandmaster Chai looked helplessly at Yan Guilai and smiled bitterly. "One silver tael can be exchanged for 100 copper taels. The fat boss' meat buns are only worth 10 copper taels. One silver tael can buy 10 meat buns."
Frowning, Yan Guilai said, "A broken incense burner can be sold for ten thousand taels of gold, how …"
Before Yan Guilai could finish his words, Master Chai hurriedly interrupted him and said, "That's not how you calculate it. That incense burner is not ordinary. It's made of gold mixed with copper. The material alone is worth 5,000 taels of gold!"
As soon as Grandmaster Chai finished speaking, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, child. The two of us didn't open this shop to make money. We just wanted to find something to do. We won't cheat you."
Master Chai glared at Yan Guilai and said, "Ten thousand gold taels can be exchanged for one million silver taels and one hundred million copper taels. If you use that money to buy meat buns, you can buy ten million of them."
Ten million meat buns!
Hearing Grandmaster Chai's words, Yan Guilai opened his eyes wide and murmured, "So many meat buns! It's enough to feed 100,000 people in the slums for a month!"
Looking helplessly at Yan Guilai, the middle-aged woman said, "Even the rich can't eat meat buns often. How can the people in the slums starve to death at any time eat meat buns every day?"
Nodding, Grandmaster Chai said, "That's right. One copper taels can buy one jin of brown rice. Ten million jin of brown rice, mixed with wild vegetables, is enough to feed 100,000 people in the slums for three months!"
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai said, "I don't care about so many people. As for those adults who have arms and legs, even if they starve to death in front of me, I won't care."
Nodding, Grandmaster Chai said, "Indeed, I save the poor, not the lazy. Those who have arms and legs, but are too lazy to work hard to earn money, even if they starve to death, are not worthy of pity."
Yan Guilai nodded and said, "Although the ten thousand gold taels are ill-gotten wealth, I won't spend it carelessly. Only four kinds of people are qualified to enjoy it."
Oh?
Looking curiously at Yan Guilai, Grandmaster Chai stroked his white beard and said, "I'm very curious. Which four kinds of people are qualified to enjoy the ten thousand gold taels?"
Yan Guilai didn't even need to think. He said, "It's very simple. It doesn't matter if they live in the slums or not. As long as they are old, young, sick, or disabled, they can enjoy the ten thousand gold taels. It doesn't matter even if they have meat buns for every meal."
Old, young, sick, or disabled?
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Grandmaster Chai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Obviously, these four kinds of people didn't have or had already lost the ability to make a living. Without the help of others, it would be very difficult for them to survive in this world.
"Child … You! How did you come up with the idea of helping these four kinds of people instead of the able-bodied ones? "
The middle-aged woman behind the counter exclaimed.
Yan Guilai shrugged his shoulders and said, "My ideal world should be like this …"
The elderly should care for the elderly.
They should care for the young and the young.
Therefore, people don't only care about their relatives or their children. The elderly should have a purpose, the strong should have a purpose, the young should have a purpose, and the weak should have a purpose.
When they heard Yan Guilai's words, Grandmaster Chai and the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up.
The elderly should have a purpose, the strong should have a purpose, the young should have a purpose, and the weak should have a purpose.
That's right. A kind, humane, and healthy society should be like this …
As he looked at Grandmaster Chai and his wife, Yan Guilai said, "Those able-bodied, able-bodied people can enjoy the ten thousand gold taels, but they have to work hard in exchange for everything. This is what it means to be strong and useful!"
The middle-aged woman looked lovingly at Yan Guilai and asked, "Child, how old are you this year? Where are your parents?"
Yan Guilai couldn't help but shake his head in response to the middle-aged woman's question. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Yan Guilai frowned and said, "I don't know how old I am or where my parents are. I don't even know who my parents are."
When he heard Yan Guilai's words, Grandmaster Chai couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he guessed, "Does this mean that you have … amnesia?"
Yan Guilai smiled bitterly and nodded. He didn't hide anything and recounted everything that had happened recently. Besides the python in his dream, he didn't hide anything else.
The reason Yan Guilai had suddenly revealed everything was because his intuition told him that this old couple didn't have any ill intentions towards him. Instead, they liked him very much.
As she listened to Yan Guilai's recount, tears welled up in the middle-aged woman's eyes. She looked at Yan Guilai with pity and said, "Poor child, you are really too pitiful. Don't be afraid … Although you don't remember your parents, from today onwards, I am your mother. Chai Baisheng is your …"
Shut up!
When he heard his wife's words, Grandmaster Chai suddenly said, "Little brother, you are a person of noble character. How could you …"
Although Grandmaster Chai's words were harsh, his expression and gaze betrayed him. It was obvious that he also wanted to adopt an outstanding child like Yan Guilai.
Yan Guilai looked speechlessly at Grandmaster Chai with a helpless expression on his face.
I treat you, Chai Baisheng, like a brother. I treat you to wine and eat, yet you want me to be your son?
Yan Guilai shook his head helplessly. "If you want a child, then have one yourself. Why do you want me to be your son?"
Have one himself?
When they heard Yan Guilai's words, Chai Baisheng and his boss exchanged glances. Their expressions were extremely distressed.
Chai Baisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I am ashamed to say this, but this old man is useless. I don't have the ability to give birth."
