Chapter 13: Lingzhi Hall
Gu Yun, the shopkeeper of Yunling Newspaper, rarely comes to the newspaper. ’
As the editor-in-chief walked into the separate room on the third floor, relevant memories surfaced in Lu Jiu's memory.
"Shopkeeper Gu. ”
After saying hello, Lu Jiu looked at the real "talker" of Yunling Newspaper in front of him openly.
It is a well-maintained face, and although there are many wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, it can still be called beautiful.
The upper body is a blue and white plain shirt embroidered with light blue flowers, and the lower body is a light red skirt, the clothes are slightly simple but it is difficult to hide its graceful figure, which shows that the shopkeeper's style when he was young may make many men toss and turn.
"I just read it, this report is good, not only is it one step ahead of others to grab this hot spot, but the county government is also very satisfied, Xiao Qi, give these two 2 silver dollars each. ”
The fan in his left hand clicked on the newspaper on the table, and the maid standing next to her put the silver dollars as a reward into the hands of the two of them while she spoke, Gu Yun's gaze swept over the two, paused on Lu Jiu, glanced at his left arm, shook the fan lightly, and after a short silence, he continued,
"In the future, you will be responsible for the newspaper's reporting on anecdotes, and if you have any needs, you can ask Editor-in-Chief Wu. ”
Gu Yun's decision, Lu Jiu didn't understand what it meant at first, but when he saw the surprised expressions on the faces of Zhou Ze and Editor-in-Chief Wu, he realized that this reward seemed to be very heavy.
And that's exactly what happened.
Anecdotes are part of the content of the newspaper published by Yunling Newspaper, and although they don't take up much space, they are a separate project.
Originally, all the interviewers in the newspaper were jointly responsible, and when there was a good report, it was submitted to the editor-in-chief Wu for the decision of whether to publish the newspaper, but now this power was transferred to Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze under the instruction of the shopkeeper Gu.
This means that they will be promoted from news gathering reporters to a higher level, not to mention their salaries, they will have a considerable degree of freedom in their daily work, and it will undoubtedly be much easier to apply for funding.
When Editor-in-Chief Wu announced this matter on the second floor, it was not surprising that it was another sensation, so the two were surrounded again.
Lu Jiu didn't plan to waste the whole afternoon in a conversation with his colleagues in the newspaper office complimenting each other, so he found an opportunity to sneak out of the newspaper office, and still asked Zhou Ze to help him cover up, anyway, this eldest young master is very keen on the feeling of being touted, and now he can't wait to stay in the newspaper office.
Waiting for the bus at the station on the street, getting on the bus and going directly to the business district in the south of the city, Lu Jiu has a lot to do today.
......
The business district in the south of the city is undoubtedly the most lively area in Qingding.
Lu Jiu held a scallion pancake in his hand, strolling along the street, looking at everything around him with interest.
He saw a girl in a tulle skirt practicing dance on the loft under the red and green cornices, and someone holding a telescope on the mechanical platform not far away, and several people competing around him, all wanting to enjoy the "beautiful scenery"; The corridor hanging in mid-air connects the two inns on the side of the street, and the drunken guests are swaying, climbing the fence formed by the steel bending and staggering, and are about to jump down, only to be dragged back by the little guy who came out with him holding the corner of his clothes.
Occasionally, you can meet a few performers, holding some bizarre props in their hands or leading steaming mechanical monkeys, manipulating them to distribute flyers to the surrounding passers-by, and beckoning them to what time it is tonight, and which tile shop has any strange performances.
Lu Jiu stepped forward and asked for a leaflet, thinking it was really interesting, so he followed the artist team to walk around the small half street, observed the smooth movements of the mechanical monkey, bought a bag of melon seeds, and walked all the way.
When he walked to the front of a pharmacy, he first looked up at the name, then lowered his head and took out the name on the medicine bottle in his pocket, and then frowned and entered the door.
"May I ask where the Lingzhi Hall is opened?"
found the guy who was busy at the counter, this question was the sixth time Lu Jiu had asked.
"Lingzhi Hall, I haven't heard of this pharmacy...... Did you remember the name wrong?"
It was almost the same answer, and this was the sixth time Lu Jiu had heard it.
even gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
From the beginning of his arrival in the south of the city, whenever he saw a pharmacy on the street, he would go in and ask if he had heard of the Lingzhi Tang pharmacy, but the reply he received told him that there did not seem to be a Lingzhi Hall pharmacy in Qingding City, which made Lu Jiu quite disappointed for a while.
You know, he wanted to use this pharmacy to provide himself with special blood and try to test his body further, if this path didn't work, he had to count on meeting a monster like the gray feather crow last night to replenish his blood.
It's just that this is an extremely low probability event no matter how you think about it...... Maybe the information channels in the newspaper can help?
Thinking about the possibility of finding traces of demon beasts through the newspaper, Lu Jiu continued to search in the south of the city with the idea that Lingzhi Hall might be a hidden small workshop.
Until Zhou Ze gave him the backpack before, Lu Jiu had to admit that with his current way of finding, even if he turned two more times, he might not have any results.
However, in the process of searching, Lu Jiu was not completely without gains, by showing the medicine bottles and the pills in them to the pharmacists in several pharmacies, Lu Jiu learned that the production method of this pill follows the ancient method, and various medicinal materials are processed and kneaded, and presented in the form of pills.
At present, the pharmacies in Qingding City are either Chinese herbal medicines or all kinds of pills and injections that are easy to preserve, and the number of pills is very small, most of them are stocks at the bottom of the warehouse, and no one cares.
Most of the pharmacies are in the process of transformation, and this backward drug has naturally not been made with great effort.
After listening to the pharmacist's explanation, Lu Jiu immediately realized that his previous thoughts were probably correct.
Assuming that the elixir in the hands of the mourning crow was indeed purchased in a small workshop in Qingding City, then because of the particularity of this elixir, it is basically impossible for the founder of this kind of workshop to obtain a drug sales license issued by the government, and naturally there is no such thing as a plaque.
This means that it is extremely difficult to find Lingzhi Hall by label, if there is no special channel or special person to introduce him, even if Lu Jiu is lucky enough to meet someone who knows the origin of this pill, the latter may deliberately hide it from him as a person who fishes for law enforcement.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Jiu temporarily extinguished the idea of finding Lingzhi Hall on his own, turned to his backpack, and boarded the bus again.
This time, the destination was Cheongding Station in Dongseong-gu District.
According to the information left by his predecessor in the newspaper, Lu Jiu was able to confirm that he had left Qingding City in the past week, and Lu Jiu was going to other cities or villages, except for walking, nothing more than taking a train or a carriage.
As for the car, I didn't have the courage to rent a car and take me on a long trip with the funds I had in my hands before.
Whether it is a train station or a horse-drawn carriage shop, because they usually operate with noisy noises and occupy a large area, they are all gathered in Dongcheng District, which is full of factories.
If you want to know what happened in the days when your predecessor lost his memory, Lu Jiu must figure out where he went!
