Chapter 33: The First Entry into the Town
The shopkeeper's surname is Du, and she ranks third in the family, and everyone is called Du Sanniang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info comes from a family of pharmacists, and has a unique eye for identifying herbs, as well as research on medical skills.
The shopkeeper is the owner of this inn, and this inn is an ancestral property. The shopkeeper's surname is Tian, he is an only son, and his family has lived on this dilapidated and low inn for generations.
This inn has a history of more than 200 years, and has been renovated and rebuilt several times before it has its current scale.
Back then, before Xiaoluo Town, this inn already existed, and it has always been on this fork in the road connecting the north, south and east.
This fork in the road is not an official road, but it is the only way to go business.
The Tian family has always been operating such an inconspicuous inn in this place. By the way, help someone collect something.
But when the inn reached the shopkeeper Tian, there was a little chaos. The shopkeeper Tian first read books for several years, but failed repeatedly.
Later, the shopkeeper Tian became obsessed with the art of Qihuang again, and not only secretly became a junior apprentice in the largest medicinal herb shop in the town, but also worshipped an old man who was in charge of the medicine store as a teacher.
By the time the head of the Tian family knew about this, the shopkeeper Tian had already studied art in that shop for three years in the name of the private school, and he was in love with the third lady of the shop.
Of course, the combination of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper does not have any earth-shattering feats, nor does it have a love story to sing and cry about, it just comes naturally.
The elders of the two families, after in-depth discussions and planning for the future of the two, happily became in-laws.
Originally, the shopkeeper Tian was still forced to take the test to gain fame, at least he had to take a show before he came out.
But at that time, the Tian family's land was suddenly calculated, and the Tian family became a veritable merchant, and the Tian shopkeeper lost his qualification for the imperial examination.
For this reason, the two old men of the Tian family died with hatred. When they left, they were still regretting that they didn't know people clearly, so that the shopkeeper lost the identity and value he deserved.
However, the shopkeeper lady and Tian shopkeeper think this is very good. Even if the inn can't be opened in the future, they can still open a medicine store, collect and sell herbs, and at the same time, they can also sit in the hall to treat diseases and save people.
But some wishes are always hard to come true. Just when the husband and wife were planning to turn this inn into a medicine store, troubled times came.
In order to survive in the troubled times, the two decided to keep this dilapidated inn.
Therefore, when he heard that someone came to sell medicinal herbs, the shopkeeper Tian was a little excited.
The main reason is that in this troubled world, there are too few people who go into the mountains to dig herbs. Even those who are willing to pick herbs and sell them are seldom sold to them.
In the town, the Du family's medicine store is still in business. The big guys usually sell their herbs there.
"Hey, in the past few years, I've been buying herbs from my mother's house. Although it is my own family, there are many discounts on the price, but I always feel that I owe favors. "The shopkeeper is a cool person, and she has a very straightforward temperament.
"What's the way, this is an inn, who will sell the herbs here." Shopkeeper Nita Tenyoshi pouted.
"Shopkeeper lady, do you want to treat many people? Otherwise, why do you need so many herbs? Besides, you can prescribe a prescription and let people go to the town to grab medicine. Meng Ge was a little puzzled.
"Ahem, there are always some critical illnesses that require direct medication. Therefore, it is still necessary to store this medicinal material by itself. Shopkeeper Tian's tone was a little far-fetched.
Tianji Xiaoer's eyes flickered, and there was something not quite right. It was the shopkeeper lady, who first looked a little stiff, and then quickly returned to normal.
"Look at us here, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back. But in the mountains to the east, four or five miles away from us, there is a big village, and people there often come to us to seek medical advice. They come to us, and they come closer. The shopkeeper smiled slightly, picked up the white water cup in front of her, and took a sip gently.
"Huh? Isn't it all mountains to the east, and there are still many people living there? Yu Yang remembered that when they came, they passed by the small hills.
"Yes, it's nice there, there's a little stream that goes on all year round. Although it is surrounded by mountains, it is smooth every year, and there are few disasters and famines. The shopkeeper sorted out the herbs she had just received and handed them to the shopkeeper to take them into the inner room.
"Really? But it's not beyond the mountains. I've heard that such places are prone to flash floods. Mongo didn't believe it.
"Ouch, this little brother still has such knowledge. You're right, there are indeed frequent flash floods in spring and summer. However, the terrain of that village is good, and even if there is a flash flood, they will not be able to drown them. That's it, once a flash flood occurs, they are always trapped for a month and a half and can't get out. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and she looked at Meng Gedao with some appreciation.
"That's right. The shopkeeper said that I want to settle down there. Meng Ge said, scratching his head a little embarrassed.
After some temptation, Meng Ge and the shopkeeper took some vigilance against each other, but they no longer thought about continuing to dig into each other's foundations.
"Shopkeeper lady, do you collect honey here?" At this time, Yu Yang suddenly picked up a small jar and asked.
These days, he carries several jars of honey on his back, which really breaks his shoulder.
"Yo, honey, that's a good thing. Show me. The shopkeeper was delighted when she heard it.
Shopkeeper Tian and the shopkeeper who had just come out also gathered around curiously, staring at the mud-sealed jar in Yu Yang's hand.
"This is the best honey, royal jelly. I don't know if the shopkeeper will accept it here? We've got seven or eight cans. Meng Ge doesn't blame Yu Yang for making his own claims.
She thought to herself, she had to ask the shopkeeper if they accepted anything else.
From the conversation just now, Meng Ge learned one thing, that is, this inn is not simple. Moreover, the patients they treat don't seem to be simple.
Because the two sides had just made a deal, the honey was sold smoothly this time.
Meng Ge sold only six jars, each for two taels of silver. So they had twelve taels of silver.
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Tian, when the three sisters and brothers set foot on the road to the town, Meng Mao already had two more bags of dim sum and a large bag of candied fruit in his hands.
The half-dead stupid roe deer that Meng Mao had been carrying was also accepted by the shopkeeper Tian.
Entering the town again, the three siblings were a little nervous. Because when they came, the shopkeeper Tian could say that now the town is mixed with dragons and water, so let them be careful in everything and don't be calculated.
With apprehension, the three sisters and brothers stepped into this crowded town, and successfully found the Du's medicine store.
When he first entered the town, Meng Ge was tight, and Meng Ge hugged him uneasily. Yu Yang was also a little apprehensive, and unconsciously reached out to hold the corner of Meng Ge's clothes.
