「Qinghe Town.」
As one of the four major towns in An County, it had always been prosperous.
Lately, it had become even more so, especially with the emergence of a newly prominent family.
And why was that?
It was all because of the Black Gold Ointment.
Thanks to Merchant Xu's aggressive marketing in the county seat, everyone there now knew about it.
And since its place of origin was Qinghe Town, a great many traveling merchants were flocking there to stock up.
They weren't just from An County. Merchants from the neighboring counties had come as well.
"Ah, it's a shame. The Chen Clan and that Merchant Xu seem to have some kind of silent agreement. They won't sell the secret formula, only the finished product."
"Give me a break. Even if they sold the formula, you think a mere traveling merchant like you would get a piece of that?"
"So what? A man can't dream?"
"..."
The two traveling merchants, who had come from the next county over to stock up, began to bicker.
