Bazaar (Part I)
Black Mountain Town can be regarded as one of the larger towns around Linfang County, both from the tall buildings and bustling crowds can reflect the prosperity of Black Mountain Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shops on both sides of the streets of Montenegro Town are all open to do business, this is the first time to go out in the spring and autumn period, and I can't help but look left and right curiously, the green tiles and red walls, full of ancient charm, and I sigh in my heart that the ancient buildings are really so antique.
The town is not big, and it is full of organs, which is summed up by what restaurants, cloth spinning, bookstores and other shops she has seen in the Spring and Autumn Period, but where is the shop in the Materia Medica, why hasn't she seen it yet.
In the spring and autumn period, I passed by a shop called Rouge Gouache Shop, and I complained in my heart that it was really simple and rude, what did I write out and sell directly? She thought it would be called a good name like Yuying Tower.
Yuan didn't have the mind to wander around like Spring and Autumn, and his heart had already been stirred up by tea. But when I think of the medicinal materials that my daughter wants to sell, I have to worry in my heart, this medicinal material is really reliable? Yuan looked at He Shouwu, who was full of baskets on his daughter's back, and was a little worried.
"Niuniu, are you really sure that these He Shou Wu can be sold for money? Don't let people cry your nose when the Materia Medica Hall doesn't accept you, and are you sure that this is really what Dr. Zhou told you? Don't be mistaken" Yuan still thinks this is unreliable, so he wants to brainwash his daughter first, so as to save his nose from crying when the time comes.
"Isn't the Materia Medicado a place to receive Chinese medicine? I'm a Chinese medicine, Doctor Zhou can't lie to me" Chunqiu looked at Yuan with a wink of his big innocent eyes.
"That's... Okay" Yuan felt tired, and she couldn't convince her daughter.
"Mother, let's go to the Materia Medica" Seeing that Yuan still didn't believe it, Chunqiu hurriedly changed the topic, stretched out his hand to pull the corner of Yuan's clothes, and suggested, "Let's go early and come back early, in case they want it"
Yuan looked at the girl in front of him with a positive face, and sighed for no reason, her daughter didn't want to hit the south wall and not give up, "Okay, let's go, it's not far from the east of the town" Yuan thought to himself, when the time comes, you will cry your nose.
"Mmmm, let's go, let's go" Chunqiu nodded, she didn't dare to guarantee anything else, so there was absolutely no problem with carrying the medicinal herbs in the basket.
The Materia Medica is still very recognizable, after all, it is a pharmacy, the fragrance of medicine is fragrant, and the dress is not the same as the surrounding shops, so as soon as the three of them arrived here, they could see the Materia Medica.
There are relatively few people in the medicine hall at this time, and when Chunqiu stood at the door, he saw the empty appearance in the herbal medicine hall, except for the doctor who sat down, there was only one place left to grab the medicine, and there was a junior apprentice weighing the medicinal materials.
Yuan stood outside and didn't speak, just looked at Chunqiu.
"Mother, then I'll go in" Chunqiu said, she could clearly feel that the Yuan family wanted her to go in alone.
"Go, Huzi and I are waiting for you here" Yuan nodded, she was worried that if she went in and broke her daughter's thin skin, what could she do if she was embarrassed, she still didn't participate in this matter.
Chunqiu nodded, this is really not accompanied by Yuan, looked up at the door on his head, stepped open his little short legs and walked in, when Chunqiu came in, the primary school apprentice who weighed medicine immediately noticed the little guest in front of him, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and did not despise Chunqiu because of Chunqiu's young age, ran to Chunqiu's side and asked with a smile, "Does the guest want to grab medicine or see a doctor?" If it's to see a doctor, Dr. Zhou is sorting out medicinal materials in the backyard, and he may have to wait until he is free."
"I'm here to sell medicine" Chunqiu looked left and right, and after finding that it was no different from the TV series, she looked up at the immature junior apprentice in front of her with her big ignorant eyes, her tone was not a trace of uneasiness, and her attitude was very honest.
"Selling medicine" The elementary school apprentice is a little strange, such a young child comes to sell medicine? But after looking up at Chunqiu's back basket, it became clear. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he still said as he was, "Dr. Zhou is in the backyard, if you want to sell medicine, you still need Dr. Zhou's nod, you come with me"
"Okay" Chunqiu nodded and walked in behind the apprentice, Yuan and Huzi were still at the door at this time paying attention to the movement inside, and suddenly found that the girl followed in without saying a word, Yuan couldn't stand still, and hurriedly dragged Huzi in.
"Ma'am, you are..." The apprentice noticed a woman who had suddenly burst in and hurriedly stopped her with his hand. "I'm her mother," Yuan opened his mouth to interrupt the apprentice's words, and pointed to Chunqiu, who was standing with Dr. Zhou not far away.
The junior apprentice looked at Chunqiu not far away, and then looked at the two people around him, and he said how could a five or six-year-old girl come over to sell medicine by herself, it turned out that her family was at the door, thinking of this, the junior apprentice put down his hands to stop people, and stood aside and didn't say anything.
Of course, Chunqiu didn't know what was going on behind her, and what she was most concerned about now was the harvest of the basket of medicinal herbs in front of her.
"Grandpa Zhou, look at this medicinal herb if your Materia Medica can accept it" Chunqiu blinked his big eyes and asked the old man with gray hair and looking energetic in front of him with a serious face.
"Oh? It turned out to be Xiao Chunqiu, has the injury on his forehead healed a lot? Dr. Zhou put down the dried herbs in his hand, looked at the little girl in front of him seriously, and suddenly remembered what had happened before.
"It's already good, thank you Grandpa Zhou for the medicine, grandpa, look" Chunqiu smiled when he heard it, and reached out to hug his smooth forehead, revealing his intact skin.
"That's good, that's good" Dr. Zhou touched his long white beard and said with a smile, "Xiao Chunqiu is here to sell medicine?" Is it bringing something good? ”
"Yes, this good thing Grandpa Zhou also knows, or Grandpa Zhou said, Chunqiu has a good memory" Chunqiu pointed to He Shouwu, who had been dried next to him, and said proudly.
"Oh? Then grandpa is going to take a good look at it," Doctor Zhou said with a smile, and after speaking, he picked up a clean He Shou Wu and observed it carefully.
The more Dr. Zhou looked at it, the more shocked he became, and he almost pulled off a few beards in excitement, the medicinal materials brought by this child were not ordinarily good. As we all know, the medicinal materials are divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, the higher the quality, the better the efficacy, Dr. Zhou carefully observed the He Shou Wu in front of him, the texture is delicate, the incision is smooth, the method of drying is also unique, the medicinal effect is not a trace of loss, what is more commendable is that these wild He Shou Wu has been for many years, and the wild value is even more wonderful.
After reading it, Doctor Zhou looked at the little girl in front of him with a shocked face, full of surprise, "Xiao Chunqiu, tell grandpa, where did you pick this, the quality of these He Shou Wu is really superb, grandpa wants it" Doctor Zhou sighed and planned to accept them all, it happened that the lack of herbs in Linfang County was serious, and it was just made up.
When Chunqiu heard the other party say the best, she felt confident, it seems that her estimate is not wrong, the medicinal value of He Shou Wu is really good.
"Grandpa, it's just in the back mountain of our Yangjia Village, and Chunqiu has been digging for several days," Chunqiu said.
"Oh, it turned out to be there, no wonder, if there are any important Chinese herbs in the future of Xiao Chunqiu, remember to bring them to grandpa, Grandpa Zhou wants them all" Doctor Zhou thought of the back mountain of Yangjia Village, it turned out to be there, where the soil conditions are suitable, and it is not strange to grow such a good Chinese herbal medicine, Doctor Zhou looked at the little girl in front of him, and felt that it was better to book as soon as possible.
"Grandpa, I still have some Tianjing grass here" After hearing Dr. Zhou's words, Chunqiu immediately took out a handful of wolfberry leaves and handed them to Dr. Zhou, this should also be able to be wanted.
Dr. Zhou's performance was as expected. Nodding all the time, "Yes, yes, the quality of the essence grass is also good these days, grandpa wants it" Doctor Zhou spoke, shocked not only the Spring and Autumn Period, but also the Yuan family at the door, the Yuan family was now shocked and wanted to scream, but I didn't expect that what I thought was worthless was actually wanted by everyone in the Materia Medica, and it was also a special quality.
"Dabao, come and take Xiao Chunqiu to the front yard to weigh these medicinal materials, this He Shou Wu is calculated according to the highest quality, these days the essence of the grass is settled according to the quality of the top grade" Doctor Zhou shouted to the junior apprentice not far away, and ordered seriously.
"Grandpa Zhou, my brother still has it, do you want to take a look at it" Chunqiu was a little worried about his drying method, how bad it would be if the other party gave it too high.
"Oh? Take it and take a look," Dr. Zhou nodded in agreement.
Then Huzi put the He Shou Wu on his back on the ground, and Dr. Zhou looked at it seriously, then nodded, "According to the best."
"Yes" Dabao nodded although he was a little shocked in his heart.
"Several, follow me" Dabao stood aside and stretched out his hand to invite a few people from the Spring and Autumn Period.
After Chunqiu and Dr. Zhou thanked him, he followed Dabao and left.
"The top-grade He Shou Wu is 66 Wen a catty, the middle grade He Shou Wu is 52 Wen a catty, and the lower grade He Shou Wu is 43 Wen a catty" Dabao cleared his throat and quoted the price loudly, "Because the guest is the best quality, according to the highest price of He Shou Wu, 100 Wen a catty, according to the calculation, He Shou Wu 13 Jin 6 taels, a total of 12 360 Wen"
"And what about the essence grass these days?" Chunqiu asked, tilting his head.
"Tianjing grass is 40 Wen a catty, 32 Wen a catty in the middle grade, 24 Wen a catty in the lower grade, calculated according to the upper grade, a total of two catties and three taels, a total of 92 Wen" Dabao then quoted.
When the Yuan family and the others came out of the Materia Medica, the Yuan family was still unbelievable, she didn't think that this medicinal material was so valuable, and she actually sold it for more than one or two silver.
Chunqiu has given the whole amount of silver to the Yuan family, leaving only some copper plates for Chunhua and Huzi, after all, they helped her dig a lot, you must know that the three of them dug dozens of catties back, but they were all dried.
"Mother, these copper plates are what I want to give to the second sister and Huzi, I can't give them to you" Chunqiu left one hundred and twenty wen in his hand, looked at Yuan and said.
"Okay, good" Yuan nodded in agreement, holding more than one or two pieces of silver in her hand and almost flying, which was worth more than the purse she embroidered.
"Third sister, where is my money?" After Huzi heard Chunqiu's words on the side, he hurriedly ran over.
"For you" Chunqiu counted out forty texts and handed them to Huzi, and put the remaining eighty texts in two purses, but I would give them to Sister Chunhua in a while.
While thinking about it, Chunqiu was planning how to go to the back mountain to dig He Shou Wu again, and according to the unique environment of their back mountain, the best medicinal materials such as ginseng should also exist, thinking of this, Chunqiu was even more excited, if you want to dig up an old mountain ginseng, but you can buy dozens of taels of silver, which is much more valuable than these He Shou Wu.
"Mother, it's time to embroider and spin" Chunqiu pointed to the sign that said embroidery spinning not far away, and pushed Yuan beside him.
"It's here, you two wait here for your mother, and your mother will pay some purse," Yuan instructed.
"Hello," Chunqiu nodded.
Soon Yuan's came out, a purse of eight money, a handkerchief of 4 Wen, Yuan embroidered a total of ten purses and five handkerchiefs this month, a total of 100 Wen, Yuan took some materials for embroidering purses, put them in the basket on the side and then turned around and left.
"Mother, where are we going now" Chunqiu hurriedly asked after seeing Yuan come out.
"Go to the teahouse not far away to have a look, and then I'll go buy you food, okay" Yuan was in a good mood today, and his tone was very brisk.
"Okay, okay," Huzi nodded hurriedly.
"Then let's go," Yuan said, and after speaking, he walked forward with one hand in hand.
