Chapter 224: Inquire about the market

I had a conversation with the guys in the shop when I was eating near the restaurant in the center of town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At that time, I heard the young man clearly mention that these pharmacies have been open for many years.

When he talked to me, he said: The medicine shops in the north of the town have been open for more than ten years.

Same street...... So dense......

These pharmacies, they can actually maintain business?

I stood under a tree on the side of the street, staring at the shops for a long time.

I looked at the people who hurriedly walked into the pharmacy, and watched as some people came out of it and left.

It took me a while to finally see the doorway!

In fact, according to my observations, there are still differences between these pharmacies that are not far away.

One of them seems to be good at acupuncture, and there is a doctor sitting in the shop.

Even outside the store, you can see people standing under the eaves waiting in line for needles to be inserted, and it seems that the business of the pharmacy seems to be very good.

There are doctors, and many of them are not sure about their symptoms...... The patient who should be taking the medicine will come to the pharmacy and ask the doctor to take a look.

With the analysis of professionals, the mind can be more assured.

Turning his gaze, he looked at another pharmacy, which was only a few steps away from the previous one.

Features of this home...... It is known for the classification of medicinal materials.

From where I was standing, I was almost facing the pharmacy in the middle, so I could see it very clearly.

I could clearly see the tall cabinets in the store, which were divided into flat drawers, very detailed, with signs on them.

I have reason to believe that the variety of medicinal materials in this house is relatively more complete.

As for the rest of the pharmacy that is not far away...... I took a rough look and couldn't see the difference for a while!

I looked down and thought that maybe I wouldn't find out until I walked in!

Standing outside, you can't see it.

On the surface, it seems a little strange that there are several pharmacies in the north of the town that are even open on the same street.

However, after observing several stores and grasping the key points, it is not difficult to understand the reasons why they can survive here!

It has its own characteristics and specialties, and there are just a few different customers who come to visit.

...... As I looked ahead thoughtfully, my eyes suddenly turned to see an alien coming out of another pharmacy.

I fixed my eyes on the alien.

I saw that the clothes and accessories he was wearing were completely different from those of the residents of the town.

The difference in appearance between the aliens and the common people here in Sealand is quite obvious.

But if you want to talk about walking on the street and encountering by chance, then clothing will be the most intuitive feature that distinguishes the two, and it will leave a deep first impression.

The alien was slow to move, and seemed to have some trouble with his legs and feet.

It's the same symptom as the old lady I once treated.

In winter, the weather around the town is also wet and cold, which can easily cause leg and foot diseases.

In addition, when the north wind blows, the cold is freezing, and it is estimated that the most patients in the town's pharmacies and medical centers are this one.

The alien turned back and said something to the guy at the drugstore, who was speaking in a language I didn't understand, and carrying a medicine bag in his hand.

It dawned on me!

According to my judgment, the characteristic of this pharmacy is that there are people who understand foreign languages, so in terms of communication, it is definitely not a problem.

In this way, the main source of medical treatment to their side is the aliens who come to the town.

They really grasped a certain key point and made their own characteristics, so the business of the pharmacy could be sustained.

I saw everything in front of me clearly, and after thinking about it, I quietly walked into the pharmacy that seemed to have the most professional drug classification.

Naturally, I chose this one because I had to buy all the medicinal herbs I wanted first!

After all, I finally found the opportunity for the tsundere boy to leave the inn and I was able to walk around on my own, and in my opinion, in addition to buying clothes, this is also very important.

I haven't seen it with my own eyes on the other side of the Northland.

Rumors in the town...... The topics that the common people talk about these days will probably be about conscription.

This will be the focus of the Northland area for a while, and the topics that everyone will be interested in, will even extend to the villages near the small towns of the Northland.

On the other hand, the number of battles in the Northland is certainly not as high as that of this wave of conscription.

The delicate position of the pioneer camp, the responsibilities to be assumed, the unfavorable recruitment of manpower, and the rumors in the town will all become the talk of the teahouse during this time!

Also, if the war starts, casualties are inevitable, which means that the number of conscripts will be higher than actually estimated.

It's like the same thing about setting up a reserve.

...... The guy from the pharmacy came up to greet me, and I looked carefully at the sticks marked on the tall cabinet.

As I expected, when I inquired, several of the medicinal herbs I wanted to buy were still out of stock or not available at all.

I had to pick and choose the ones that were available in the store, or the ones that worked similarly, but I still felt a little disappointed.

...... I came out of the pharmacy and I had two things with me.

The first is the clothes I bought at the ready-to-wear store and put a bag on my shoulder, and the second is the medicine bag I just bought at the pharmacy.

These two things don't weigh too much, and they don't slow me down.

However, not long after I walked on Zhenbei Street, my eyes were attracted by a pile of horse-drawn carriages parked under a big tree not far away.

I looked around, intending to ask someone about the situation, but I didn't want to go straight to the carriage.

Because in my opinion, if it is to pass, it is time to agree on the price.

If it is just to ask, it is better to find another way, so as not to make the waiting drivers happy.

...... Walking down the street for a while, I found a food shop nearby.

From a distance, I saw that there were not many customers sitting in the store eating at this time, but a few of them looked at the clothes on their bodies dressed as coachmen.

It occurred to me that if I went to the store and sat in the shop like the coachmen, and asked about the price while talking, the process would seem more natural.

So I thought about it for a while, didn't hesitate, and went straight to the store with my baggage.

When I got to the door, I looked inside, and I could see it more clearly when I was close to it.

I saw that most of the coachmen, dressed as drivers, sat under the huts built outside, not around the braziers.

But the stove in the shop is outside, and the shack built can shelter from the wind and have a wider view.

Probably because of their profession, they are used to waiting outside, and by the way, they can sit there and watch the pedestrians passing by on the street, and they may meet people who want to take a car.

I picked a table, and there was already a middle-aged man dressed as a coachman.

"Uncle, can I share a table with you?"

I looked at him and asked.

The man was eating noodles in a snort, and when he heard this, he glanced at me and nodded immediately.

I sat down and asked for a bowl of noodles as well.

While I waited, I looked at the man and asked him about the price of the carriage to the Northlands.

Uncle Coachman is a cheerful person, he immediately answered me and asked me when I wanted a car!

For a moment, I was a little uncomfortable, and after hearing this, I paused, and after thinking about it, I shook my head at him and said, "Uncle, a friend of mine asked me to inquire, not that I want to take the car myself." ā€

"Little brother, if you want to hire a car, you have to hire it as soon as possible."

I glanced at him and said, "What did Uncle say?" ā€

The coachman put down his chopsticks and looked at me and said, "Little brother, because there is about to be a war in the Northland." ā€

"Master Wang has already passed by us, and I heard that they have all been stationed in the Northland," the uncle paused and continued, "They are probably waiting for the right time!" ā€

"Didn't you say that the battlefield was in the mountains outside of Northland?"

I turned to him in surprise and asked, "I was there at the beginning of the last war, and I met ......."

The coachman looked at me and explained, "Yes, little brother, you are right. ā€

"But as soon as the war starts, we don't dare to continue to run to the northland town, at most to do business south."

The driver looked at me and said very frankly, "Who would dare to take such a big risk!" If you have money to earn, you have to have a life to spend! Little brother, don't you say? ā€

"The sword has no eyes, what if you meet officers and soldiers along the way?"

Uncle Coachman looked worried, as if mentioning this would make him feel worried.

"Uncle, according to what you say, there will be no one in the town willing to take over the business of the Northland in the future?"

I asked tentatively.

The man immediately shook his head: "Little brother, what you said is not right, don't mention the next, even now, there are few people in the town who are willing to take over the business of going north, and today is just a few people." ā€

I frowned at him and said with some hesitation, "In that case...... When the war starts, won't the Northland be cut off? ā€

It occurred to me that if the situation evolved...... It seems a little bad, isn't the Northland called a besieged place?

"No, there's always someone willing to take it."

The coachman's uncle let out a long sigh and said, "For the sake of silver, I am willing to take risks only if I have to pay a high price." ā€

He rolled his eyes and continued to me, "By the way, there's another place in town...... It shouldn't be cut off from the business of going to the Northland! ā€

I was immediately intrigued by his words, and quickly asked, "Where is it?" Uncle? I don't know what you're talking about......"

Uncle Coachman said affirmatively: "It's the dart game in the town!" ā€

"They should do the same, anyway, these dart players are out all year round, and they have encountered everything," the uncle paused and added, "for them...... As long as you don't go to the battlefield, you will definitely do the business in the town of Northland! ā€

After I arrived in Sealand, I was really impressed by the people in the dart game several times.

After getting to know Gu Liu, Ji Jiu and I went to the capital of Sealand to follow the people from the dart game.

At that time, thanks to Sister Li and her group, I couldn't help but think of those people when I mentioned the dart game at this moment.

There was an accident on the grassland, and I left halfway, for many days, and I didn't know the follow-up of those people...... What's going on?

In an instant, my mood became low, and the noodles made in the store were delivered to my table.

I reached out and picked up the bowl, not very hungry at this time, and ate a few bites at will, not wasting the money on the noodles.

If the tsundere boy is here, maybe he will have to complain about me again!

After dark, the shops were still open on the street, and when I was observing, I saw people waiting outside the pharmacies.

As for the street closest to the exit in the north of the town, there are many eateries that are also doing good business.

It's not as good as the town, but there are a steady stream of guests, some of whom come to the town from outside.

Just as the boy and I chose another entrance to enter, the north entrance and exit of this town are not as strict as the officers and soldiers stationed in the south of the town.

And again, according to my observations, a fairly high percentage of the people who came in here were aliens.

Their place of residence was originally to the north, and the passage here was the most convenient.

I watched the people coming and going on the streets, and it was almost the night market of the town.

I watched silently, and for a moment my mind went blank.

But after the chopsticks fiddled with the noodles in the bowl and sent a few mouthfuls to my mouth, I suddenly lowered my head and looked into the bowl.

I have also eaten local noodles in Nanhua Town, and the taste is also very good, but this bowl of noodles in this shop, there is something special about it, which is the soup base.

Seeing my eyes, the uncle who was at the same table with me couldn't help but look at me and said, "Little brother, you must be the first to come back to us, aren't you?" ā€

I knew that the accent of my speech, and the appearance after the change were different from the locals, and the uncle was a car driver, and he had been to many places, so he saw that it was not strange at all, so he nodded at him and said, "Yes, I just arrived here today." ā€

The uncle smiled: "Don't look at this shop and look dilapidated, in fact, his noodles are very famous in the town." ā€

"Little brother, look at the soup base of the noodles," the uncle explained to me, looking into the bowl, "The soup base is made from beef bones. ā€

The uncle pointed to the one standing at the door and said, "This shopkeeper has been running a shop here for almost 20 years, and he must be boiled slowly to have this taste." ā€

"No wonder!"

I took a sip of the soup bowl and couldn't help but sigh, "There is really a difference." ā€

"Their business can be sustained by this bowl of soup base."

Uncle Coachman squinted his eyes and looked at me and said, "Little brother, I'll tell you the truth, every time I go out to catch the car and come back, when I return to the town, I will definitely have to sit here and eat a bowl of noodles." ā€

As he spoke, as if confirming what the uncle said, there were a few more new customers in the store.

I realized that I hadn't had dinner yet, so there would definitely be follow-up customers coming, and with something like noodles, it would be okay to use it as a late-night snack.

Their business at the evening market is definitely good! (To be continued.) )
