Chapter 161: Inside the Bottle
Lin Hui didn't know that there were two groups of people looking for her at the same time, she and Yan Gu came out of Derentang, so they simply stopped choosing a big store, just walked casually, and when they saw that the shop was pleasing to the eye, they went in to shop.
Not to mention, this Baicao Street has a lot of fame, and it is really distinctive.
Although large stores can be operated in a large and comprehensive way, small stores have many ways to take the road of specialization.
The more common one is by orientation. The medicinal herbs produced in the south are naturally very different from those produced in the north. Some shops specialize in the production of a certain place, presumably in contact with the corresponding caravan.
The other category is by use. For example, there are those that specialize in ginseng, deer antler velvet and other tonics; There are also those that specialize in women's or pediatric medicines, and there is even one that specializes in medicinal dietary materials.
Lin Hui stopped in front of a small shop.
This shop is just a door, the door is very tidy, and it is not like the general store, and it has moved out a lot of large bags of medicinal materials to occupy more space to sell, but has erected a sign, but it is two feet tall and short, and there are eight big characters on it: essential medicine for home travel.
This is good.
At first glance, it is a monopoly on over-the-counter medicines, and the types are also in line with Lin Hui's mind.
The guys at the door were all young men, just like the others. However, this guy has two red patches on his cheeks, and his skin tone is also dark, which looks a little unusual.
Seeing that a guest stopped, the guy hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, stretched out his hand to open the door curtain, and invited the guest to come in and take a slow look.
Lin Hui stepped in with one foot and almost took it back.
No wonder there are few people in this shop, and there is ...... Is it a pharmacy?
How it looks like a porcelain shop.
Fortunately, Lin Hui also likes porcelain. Let's see.
There was only one person in the shop who looked like a shopkeeper in a robe. It seems that the standard configuration of this store is probably a threesome of a proprietor, a shopkeeper and a guy. The proprietor's routine is not very common and can be ignored for now.
When the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he just stood up and greeted them with a smile on his face, nodded at them, and said nothing...... Sit down again.
Lin Hui blinked, turned her head to look at Yan Gu, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
It's good, no one bothered, and it's best for two people to watch slowly.
The store is small and the furnishings are simple. It is two rows of yellow rosewood shelves against the wall. The wood is quite good. There is no carving pattern or anything like that, but it is polished extremely smooth, bringing out the texture and warmth of the wood itself, and looking at it together with the white porcelain vases of different sizes placed on it. It's a perfect match.
The white porcelain vases are made into the shape of a big belly and a small mouth. A cork is tucked into the top. A handmade label is attached to the belly of the bottle. On one side is the name of the medicine, and on the other side is the usage, both of which are very beautiful regular scripts. It looks refreshing and comfortable. When I turned it over, I saw a dark red square seal on the bottom of the bottle, "made by Shirakido".
Lin Hui picked up a porcelain bottle and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This bottle is good, it uses Yingqing." As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain vase and shone it into the light, "You see, the blue with a little duck eggshell looks softer than pure white." ”
"You know how to make porcelain." Yan Gu smiled casually, picked up a porcelain bottle, and looked at it in Lin Hui's appearance, "Anyway, it's medicinal, it's easy to use." ”
Lin Hui gave him a blank look, this pragmatist big cat.
As for porcelain or something, although I haven't studied it specifically, I've seen a lot of various treasure hunting and treasure digging programs, and I've seen so many fat pigs go, so I still know a little bit.
The porcelain bottle in Lin Hui's hand reads "Heart Disease Ning", which is a medicine similar to a fast-acting heart pill, which is placed in the most convenient position in the middle of the shelf, and it seems that it may be the main product of this shop.
When you look closely, the shelves on both sides of the original are classified, the shelves against the east wall are placed on the prescription medicines that are prepared at home, and the shelves on the west wall are placed on the travel medicines.
Lin Hui was not in a hurry, she looked at it slowly one by one, and compared it with what she was going to take out. The shopkeeper-like man in the middle also looked at him twice, but he never urged.
Seeing that Yan Gu was already extremely bored, and he began to have the intention of moving his hands and feet behind him, Lin Hui turned around and glared at him, and got a big smile.
Lin Hui wrinkled her nose, made a grimace at him that was not terrible at all, turned around and walked in front of the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Can you sell it here?" ”
Consignment? The shopkeeper looked puzzled, stood up and smiled, "My surname is Bai." Girl, you see, everything in our shop is the same bottle, and it's all specially made. Other things don't look good on the table. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to help sell it. ”
Lin Hui's proposal to sell on behalf of others is just an excuse to talk, she doesn't plan to sell it herself, she just wants to sell it. Hearing this person's surname being Bai, and then thinking of the words "Baimutang System" written on the medicine bottles, he asked again: "I don't know what is the relationship between Mr. Bai and Baimutang?" ”
The white shopkeeper obviously didn't mind Lin Yan's clothes and the like, seeing that she had been looking at the medicine very seriously since she entered the store, she acted decently, her voice was soft and sounded very comfortable, and she was quite willing to talk a few more words, so she replied with a smile: "My father's surname is Bai, my mother's surname is Mu, this is our own business." ”
The tone is modest, and there is no sense of pride.
Lin Hui's eyes lit up, it turned out that this was the shopkeeper of the young owner's family.
It's much easier to talk about that way. The fewer intermediate links, the more convenient it is to negotiate. Lin Hui flipped her right hand and took out a small glass bottle from her sleeve.
The white shopkeeper has always loved delicate things. I saw that the glass bottle was no more than an inch high, in the shape of a hanging gall, the color was crystal clear and light yellow, and the end was very delicate, and I couldn't help but fall in love with it first. If you look closely, it turns out that it is not a pill, but a liquid medicine.
Lin Hui opened the stopper of the glass bottle, gently pushed it in front of the white shopkeeper, and made a sniffing motion with her hand.
The white shopkeeper took the bottle to his nose and inhaled gently.
It was a joy to see the expression of surprise and excitement on the face that had always been kind and unfazed.
Lin Hui smiled.
There's a door!
The room suddenly lit up, and it seemed that the curtain behind it had been lifted. Lin Hui ignored this, she paid attention to Mr. Bai's expression.
Mr. Bai was probably, or was, a scholar, who did not know the essentials of doing business quietly. His previous indifferent expression was more like the cultivation of a scholar than deliberate, and now he was gently shaking the bottle with his hand to make the smell stronger; While snorting gently and attentively and rhythmically, the surprise and eagerness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
The hand that lifted the curtain seemed to be about to be lowered, as if it was just a casual glance inside. But the hand was halfway down and paused again, and then a man hurried through the door.
No, there is more than one person, there is someone behind this person.
The title of "two, two, two......" is vague and a little timid. (To be continued......)
