There were a total of 200 taels of gold, and she kept 100 taels for herself as a life-saving fund.

He took the remaining one hundred taels back and distributed them to the families of Qin Cunquan, Qin Laoliu, Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, and Xu Qiao, asking them to hide them as life-saving money.

Huang Yanglong snorted arrogantly: "That's fine."

The next moment, he crossed his legs and said while shaking them: "Speaking of which, your family was able to exchange an extra hundred taels of gold because of Ma Yongbiao..."

The government office seized several boxes of gold from Ma Yongbiao's home, and the amount of gold available for circulation in Dongming Prefecture increased. Only then could Huang Yanglong help the Qin family exchange it for 200 taels of gold. Otherwise, they could only exchange it for 100 taels of gold at most, and 1,200 taels of silver notes could only be exchanged for 100 taels of gold at most.

But now, Qin Xiaomi only used 2,200 taels of silver notes to exchange for 200 taels of gold, paying 200 taels less of silver notes, which was really a profit.

Grandpa Qin knew the importance of gold. It was something that could be passed down from generation to generation even if the dynasty collapsed and the banknotes became invalid. He also stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Huang. I am very grateful."

Huang Yanglong waved his hand: "Master Qin, you don't have to be polite. This young master will help you and also ask for something in return... After all, the world is full of uncertainties."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Xiaomi.

Qin Xiaomi said: "Master Huang, don't worry. Even if the world changes 72 times, I will not let you lose money."

To put it bluntly, Huang Yanglong was afraid that before the workshop in Lingnan Prefecture was opened, the aristocratic families would have made the secret recipe package, thus making his cooperation with the Qin family go down the drain.

Ha, Huang Yanglong was happy: "You said it, if I really lose money, you two families, Qin and Xue, will be responsible for compensation!"

"It won't be a loss." Qin Xiaomi still said this.

Huang Yanglong was unhappy: "You are really an expert at talking without doing anything. Now that we have come to this point, shouldn't you write a written agreement?"

"We've already signed the contract, why do we need to sign any more documents?" Qin Xiaomi ignored him and called to Jiang Dalang, "Put these two boxes here. You, Grandpa, Xiao Mutong, and Zhu Xuemo will guard them together."

"Well, Xiaomi, don't worry, I will take good care of these two boxes." Jiang Dalang made the promise, stood up and asked Huang Yanglong to leave.

Huang Yanglong cursed but left tactfully, saying, "Uncle Wu and the others will keep watch."

"Thank you, Young Master Huang." Qin Xiaomi was very grateful. After the Huang family left, she took out the medicine bag and gave it to Jiang Dalang.

After Jiang Dalang opened the medicine bag, he applied the powder into his nose.

Grandpa Qin did as he was told.

Not long after, Xiao Mutong and Zhu Xuemo came over from the big bunk bed. After using the antidote, Qin Xiaomi began to spread the drug and surrounded the main room where Grandpa Qin lived with the drug powder.

With the drug circle guarding the place, no one can break into the house and steal the gold.

Jiang Dalang was afraid that she would worry and stay awake all night, so he said, "Xiaomi, don't worry and go to sleep. We will keep watch in groups, and nothing will happen."

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "I feel relieved when you work with Grandpa."

Jiang Dalang's eyes sparkled, and he was very pleased with her words.

The next day, Qin Xiaomi got up early. After learning that the night was peaceful, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was not until the 9th hour of the 4th month that she was escorted by Jiang Dalang, Xiao Baiying and others, and took a car with a box of gold to the house on Qiming Street.

After working for a long time in the new house, he finally hid the gold in batches into four secret compartments, and also hid poison powder in the secret compartments... With the poison powder, even if someone found the secret compartment and wanted to steal the gold, they would be poisoned to death!

After finishing her important task, Qin Xiaomi happily rode in a donkey cart to Wuze Pharmacy.

As early as the day before the housewarming party, Manager Wu sent someone to say that the horses had arrived and asked her family to go to the pharmacy to pick them up.

Grandpa Qin was very happy. After finishing the task of hiding the gold, he immediately drove to Wuze Pharmacy.

"Old boss, young boss, you are here!" Old man Xun ran out to greet them, holding a half-eaten egg in his hand... This old man has been living in Wu Ze Pharmacy, eating and drinking for free, and has fattened himself up.

Qin Xiaomi nodded and asked, "How are the two horses?"

Old Man Xun said, "It's pretty good, but the mare of breeding age has a hoof disease. We need to find a veterinarian to treat it immediately, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be able to transport goods over long distances in the future."

"The mare has hoof disease? Take me to see it!" Grandpa Qin was anxious. He ignored his precious donkey cart and ran into the drugstore immediately.

After Jiang Dalang parked the donkey cart, he went to the barn with Qin Xiaomi.

Inside the pharmacy, in front of the livestock shed in the backyard, Shopkeeper Wu said with a guilty look, "Brother Qin, I'm so sorry. Horses are in short supply right now, and our pharmacy can only get this mare for your family."

Mares of childbearing age are more valuable than stallions, and are usually raised in special places, making them hard to get among the public. This mare had a hoof disease, and after two treatments, the disease still recurred, so she was rejected. Otherwise, the pharmacy would not have been able to get this mare.

but……

"Because the mare is sick, the price is very reasonable, only two hundred taels."

Two hundred taels for a mare of breeding age, and a large horse that is good at carrying loads. Qin Xiaomi was surprised when she heard this and said hurriedly, "Manager Wu, my family will buy both of these horses!"

It was such a big leak, and if she didn’t pick it up quickly, she was afraid that her house would be struck by lightning!

Grandpa Qin came back to his senses with a look of joy on his face: "It is rare to find a mare of breeding age. Shopkeeper Wu does not need to feel guilty."

Qin Xiaomi pointed at the big brown horse with bright fur and asked, "Boss Wu, how much do you want for this stallion?"

Shopkeeper Wu said, "This stallion is twice as expensive, four hundred taels, but it has been trained and is good at night travel, so it is definitely worth buying it."

Afraid that the Qin family wouldn't believe him, he asked his men to light torches and throw them at the stallion.

The stallion was not frightened. Instead, he turned his body and easily and calmly avoided the torch!

Now, without Manager Wu saying anything, Qin Xiaomi, Jiang Dalang, and Grandpa Qin all guessed it... This large brown stallion must be a trained war horse!

Only a war horse can be so fearless in the face of danger.

Grandpa Qin was very excited, but he still asked worriedly: "Selling this horse to my family? Would it be a waste of talent?"

Shopkeeper Wu said, "No, there are many horses that have been trained, but there are also many that are unqualified. This horse was retired. You can buy it with confidence."

After hearing this, Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Dalang were shocked, and they understood more and more that the boss behind Wu Ze Pharmacy was not a simple person.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu!" Grandpa Qin was so excited that his hands were shaking. He was afraid that Shopkeeper Wu would go back on his word, so he immediately took out the banknote: "Here is a banknote for six hundred taels. Shopkeeper Wu, take it."

Now that my family is doing business, and we have this good horse, if anything urgent happens at home, we can ride a fast horse to ask for help.

Moreover, the horses can be resold, so if the family needs money in the future, they can also sell the horses for emergency use. In short, it is not a loss to buy them.

Shopkeeper Wu smiled, took the banknote, and gave Grandpa Qin two horse deeds with the red seal of the government office, saying, "These are the horse deeds for two horses. Keep them, Brother Qin."

The horse deed is an important proof for buying a horse. If one owns a horse without a deed, he will be regarded as a horse thief and in serious cases, beheaded.

"Hey." Grandpa Qin knew the importance of the horse contract, so he put it away carefully and ran to see the mare with hoof disease. He spent half an hour getting familiar with the mare before he went to see the horse's hooves.

There was a hole the size of a soybean on the side of the left front hoof. Grandpa Qin knocked it with a small hammer and heard a dull sound. He pressed it with his hand and found that the hardness of the hoof was gone, only softness remained. "There should be an abscess inside. We need to dig out the hoof and clean out the abscess."
