The next morning.
Jiang Fan lazily stretched his waist and then got up to tidy up his bedding.
After doing all this, he came to the door of his tavern and took off the wooden board to prevent others from entering.
At this moment, he did not know that because of his words yesterday, the Crown Prince of the Great Tang, Li Chengqian, had cried like a baby.
After taking off the wooden board, he sat in front of the cabinet and waited for business.
In ancient times, especially in the newly established Great Tang, the entertainment value here was too low.
It was so low that it could be said to be scary.
Because of this, the commoners went to bed early and woke up early. Even though the sky was slightly bright, there were already many people who woke up like Jiang Fan.
There were already many people shuttling back and forth in front of him on the street outside the shop.
However, no one came to take care of his business.
If it was before, Jiang Fan would definitely be burning with anxiety. But now, although he didn't dare to say that he had money, he definitely didn't lack food and drink.
Therefore, he leaned back on his homemade rattan chair and leisurely read some ancient books.
Time slowly passed as he watched.
Six hours later, it was already noon.
Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Jiang Fan quickly got up and prepared to show off his culinary skills to reward his stomach.
However, just as he was about to cook, a vulgar voice came from the pharmacy next door.
"No money?"
"If you don't have money, why are you here?”
"Get lost, get lost, don't be an eyesore here!!”
Jiang Fan immediately went to the shop to see what was going on.
However, just as he reached the door, a thin and weak youth was kicked out of the pharmacy door and rolled on the ground.
The young man did not look very big, almost the same age as him.
However, the cleanliness of the two was worlds apart.
The youth who was kicked to the ground was covered in hemp clothes and various patches.
Dirt could be seen everywhere on his body.
Those who didn't know better would think that he was a beggar.
"I beg you, I beg you, please do me a favor. I just want to grab a little medicine. My father is about to die. As long as you give me the medicine, I'll be willing to work for you for the rest of my life!”After the young man was kicked to the ground, not only did he not leave, but he knelt on the ground and cried non-stop.
"Get lost!" However, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy did not care about his plea at all. Instead, he was extremely disgusted.
"Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper, as long as you give me the medicine, I will continue to work for you in the future.”The young man did not give up and rushed over to hug the shopkeeper's leg.
"What are you doing? What was he doing? Are you guys blind? Hurry up and chase this beggar out!”The pharmacy manager did not expect the other party to pester him like this and immediately became furious.
Once he was enraged, the few servants beside him immediately rolled up their sleeves and made a gesture of wanting to hit him.
Such a situation was very common in the Great Tang.
Years of war and chaos had caused countless people to flee to the prosperous cities to escape the chaos of war.
But poverty was the original sin.
Whether it was the prosperous city or the backward border, none of these could change their fate.
They were like ants, despised by others everywhere. There was no justice everywhere. What awaited them was only sudden death. There was no hope.
"Shopkeeper, I'll kowtow to you. I'll kowtow to you. Please give me some medicine!”The young man saw that the shopkeeper was so determined and could not help but feel indignant. However, his father was infected with a disease. If he was not treated, he would die in less than three days.
As a son, how could he watch his father die in front of his eyes?
For the people of ancient times, filial piety was the most important of all virtues. This was not a slogan, but a real thing.
It could be said that in the beggar's heart, he would rather die than let his father die.
Therefore, he didn't care about suffering, dignity, or dignity. He only wanted his father's life.
However, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy did not have the heart of a Bodhisattva. Of course, this was not his fault. After all, he was also doing business. If he did good deeds, he would not be able to live his life.
Therefore, Jiang Fan didn't think about who was in the wrong. Instead, when the other party was about to make a move, he suddenly shouted,""Shopkeeper Xu, you caused such a thing so early in the morning. Isn't this affecting my business?”
After shouting, the people who were about to attack stopped and looked at Jiang Fan, including the pharmacy manager.
"I say, this person is looking for trouble. Why am I affecting you?”The pharmacy owner didn't know what Jiang Fan meant, but he rejected him immediately.
"That's true. I say, how much did the medicine you bought cost?”Jiang Fan nodded thoughtfully and asked the young beggar.
"I, I…" The young beggar didn't know what Jiang Fan meant. He stammered for a long time without saying a word.
"The medicine he wants costs 300 wen. Why? Shopkeeper Jiang, are you going to help him pay?”Because they were less than half a meter apart, the other party knew Jiang Fan's name. When he saw Jiang Fan speak, he immediately asked back.
"Three hundred coins, right? Just wait!" Jiang Fan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was three hundred coins. Fortunately, it wasn't much.
Soon, he returned to the account and withdrew 600 wen. Then, he walked out and handed it to the pharmacy owner."Give him two portions of medicine."
"I didn't expect you to be so generous at such a young age. Ah Wei, go get the medicine.”The pharmacy owner didn't expect Jiang Fan to be so generous as to actually pay for the bill. He couldn't help but be surprised, but he quickly accepted the money with a smile and turned to his shop's attendant.
The servant did not think too much about it. He did whatever the shopkeeper said.
Not long after, she handed two bags of medicine to Jiang Fan.
After receiving the medicine, Jiang Fan went directly to the young man's side and helped him up. He said,""A man has gold on his knees. He has to kneel down to the heavens, kneel down to his parents. Take this medicine and find a job in the future. I can help you once, but it doesn't mean that someone will help you every time.”
The reason why Jiang Fan did this was because he was infected by the other party's filial piety.
A man who could kneel for his father was definitely not a bad person. He would just treat it as positive merit. It was only 300 wen anyway.
"Thank... Thank... Thank you, benefactor!" The young beggar obviously didn't realize that this unfamiliar Jiang Fan would fork out this much money for him. He thanked him in a dull tone, then took the medicine and ran away without looking back!
"Tsk tsk tsk, Shopkeeper Jiang, I really don't know why you're helping these beggars. Do you think they'll be grateful? They just treat us like gods of wealth and only know how to ask for it.”Seeing the beggar run away, the pharmacy manager could not help but shake his head helplessly.
Jiang Fan ignored Shopkeeper Xu's words and returned to his tavern to cook.
Kneeling down to reward the evaluation votes!
