Chapter 2018: Chapter 1900: Qin Banliang Coins
Boss Feng explained in detail: “My waiter bumped into Mr. Song’s wife who was already injured, spilling soup on my niece. My niece and the waiter had a bad attitude, so Mr. Song got physical, chased everyone from my restaurant, beat up my security personnel, and then checked his wife’s wounds on the first floor, threatening to tear down my shop if it left any scars.”
“Then what?” Su Lie asked Boss Feng angrily.
“Then I had the waitress and my niece apologize to Mr. Song, and Mr. Song handed a prescription, asking to buy traditional Chinese dicine and deliver it to Minghe.”
“Traditional Chinese dicine?” Su Lie thought for a mont, sensing an opportunity.
“Yeah, I still want to ask, what exactly does Mr. Song do, why does he need so much traditional dicine, and all of them are expensive herbs, costing over a hundred thousand!” Boss Feng complained to Su Lie.
“Hmph, you should be content, be glad he didn’t tear down your shop!” Su Lie glared at Boss Feng.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Su is right.”
“The Sect Leader wants traditional dicine, it must be for alchemy. Knowing what the Sect Leader wants, this matter becos easy.” Su Lie thought to himself, then said aloud, “And then?”
“Then Mr. Song left; that was the night before last. But last night, my niece gathered a group and attacked Mr. Song,” said Boss Feng.
“You certainly have a good niece.” Su Lie said coldly, casting a sideways glance at Boss Feng.
“I’ve already fired her. She shouldn’t even think about coming back through my family’s door. We’re not maintaining these ties in the future.” Boss Feng said angrily, thinking of Feng Ping.
“This matter, actually, can be solved easily.” Su Lie squinted, sizing up Boss Feng.
“Oh, Mr. Su, if you could help solve this, I would certainly reward you generously!” Boss Feng looked at Su Lie as if looking at a savior.
“You don’t need to reward , just make Mr. Song satisfied.” Su Lie lowered his eyes, looking at the ground.
“But… how can I make Mr. Song satisfied?” Boss Feng was still puzzled.
“Boss Feng, did you happen to acquire a batch of treasures at Panjiayuan a few days ago?” Su Lie asked Boss Feng with a sly smile.
“Yes, yes, it’s a batch of ancient Qin half-liangs. How did Mr. Su know?” Boss Feng asked Su Lie in surprise.

“Hmph, I wanted that batch too, but I was busy with other things at the ti and you beat to it.” Su Lie replied.
“Would Mr. Song be interested in such antiques?” Boss Feng asked.
“Of course, Qin half-liang is not only an antique, it’s also a rare dicinal ingredient.” Su Lie explained to Boss Feng.
“I see, alright then, I’ll go ahead with it!” Boss Feng said, pulling out his phone to make a call. “Wife, can you go ho and bring the box of ancient coins I put in the safe the day before yesterday?”
“Thank you, Mr. Su, for showing the way!” Boss Feng bowed to Su Lie.
“Brother Feng, there’s no need for that. I am working for him. This box of ancient coins is of no use to you, but to my boss, it’s truly rare dicine. This item is valuable, I know, but don’t worry, I, Su Lie, won’t let you suffer any loss.”
“Oh, Brother Su, it’s not about the money. As long as Mr. Song is happy and allows to continue operating, I’ll be very happy!”
The two continued their dispute for a while, then Boss Feng’s wife returned with a box in her hand.
Boss Feng took it over, only for Su Lie to snatch it away, crouching in front of Song Xiaodong, saying: “Sir, this is a box of Qin half-liang coins, specialized for treating bruises and injuries, an exceptional dicine. Boss Feng says this box of Qin half-liang coins is a gift for you, hoping Mr. Song will calm down and not hold a grudge, so he can open his business.”
Song Xiaodong actually couldn’t think of anything to squeeze from Boss Feng, but unexpectedly Boss Feng did have the goods, and couldn’t help but lift his eyebrows in delight. Su Lie noticed this and couldn’t help but smile.
Qin half-liang was the unified currency of the Qin Dynasty. Before Qin Wang’s unification, currency, writing, and asurents varied between countries. After the Qin Dynasty was established, laws were introduced to unify currency, writing, and asurents, replacing the old currencies of the six nations with circular square-holed Qin half-liang coins across the country.
Qin half-liang coins are not only currency but also a kind of traditional Chinese dicine. The copper mine used by Qin Shi Huang to forge these coins had a unique component that promoted the healing of human bones. This copper mine was mined out during the Qin Dynasty, and later coins lack this dicinal property.
Qin half-liang coins not only can be used in dicine but in alchemy to enhance bone fracture healing ability, and can be refined into potent elixirs for treating injuries. However, Qin half-liang is very rare; it has been in demand recently, so its price is high and it is extrely scarce, rarely seen on the market.
Seeing what he desired, Song Xiaodong finally stopped pretending, sat up, and began unraveling the bandages wrapped around him.
Boss Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
Boss Feng could make tens of thousands from one al, money was not the issue. But if Song Xiaodong continued to stay, refusing to leave, Boss Feng wouldn’t be able to run his business, losing unknown amounts each day. Sending off this walking disaster ant he could resu operations.
Song Xiaodong removed the bandages, tossed them around the floor, stood up complete with neat attire, showing no signs of injury.
Song Xiaodong approached Boss Feng, saying: “Boss Feng, since you’re being genuine, I won’t stand on ceremony. This Qin half-liang will be your explanation to , those herbs will be for my wife. Seeing you’re not a bad person, I won’t demolish your shop. Boss Feng, see you when fate allows.”
