Chapter 18 Hui Chai Tang
The waiting time was almost over, and the car was about to start, Su Zhiyuan greeted the driver Cheng Er with a smile, asked him to take care of his daughter, and then urged his daughter to get in the car. "Alibao, be careful, your safety is the most important thing!"
"Well, I know, Abba, it's not very safe on the mountain, you and the people in the village have tried not to go up the mountain recently, I went up the mountain yesterday to see the wounded soldier, and I heard the gunshot! Our house is at the foot of the mountain, usually the door is locked, try not to let grandma be home alone! Before getting into the car, Su Li whispered to Abba.
Although I don't know what happened in the mountains, I can tell from the injuries of the colonel that it is not simple. It is estimated that the army will send someone to clean up the accident and lift the alarm, but it is better to be careful.
The car started and drove in the direction of the county seat, Su Li looked through the car window, watched Abba look at the direction of the car from afar, and couldn't help waving his hand to let him go back. It's just that until she can't see Abba, Abba has been quietly watching from afar, and every farewell is like this, Abba will always leave after she can't see her.
The town went to Shuwang County, and the Shuwang County Bus Station bought a ticket to transfer to Jincheng, a familiar route, Su Li once again relived the old memories. There are only two buses from Shuwang County to Jincheng, one departs at nine o'clock, and the other is twelve o'clock in the morning.
This time, I was in a good mood. Maybe it was a change in physique, after a three-hour drive, Su Li didn't feel any discomfort and was still full of energy. Departure early. When Su Li gently walked out of Jincheng Station with the orchid pot in her arms, the time was only nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, and all the arrangements were still in time, which would not affect her to go back to school in the evening.
To sell orchids to go to Jincheng flower and bird market, to sell that wild ginseng to find a reliable Chinese medicine pharmacy, for the layout of Jincheng, she just has a rough spectrum, she is familiar with Jincheng, is to push back five or six years of pattern. After three years of high school, she was indifferent to external things, and after the family change on the eve of the college entrance examination, she went for five or six years in order to repay her debts, until she finished paying off her foreign debts, and her heart had a small failure and no longer worked and returned to Jincheng to develop her career, so she slowly became familiar with Jincheng.
Fortunately, she knows a place in Jincheng Flower and Bird Market, which is still a prosperous area in the old city in the future. In those years, after paying off foreign debts, she sent her grandmother to see a doctor, and the doctor suggested that putting some flowers and plants at home would help improve the patient's mood, and she ran to the flower market a lot. The flower and bird market has a long history, and she remembers listening to the owner of the shop for more than ten years when she was buying potted plants.
Pushing forward from that year, the flower and bird market should have been open for a lot of time, and it should be the place in her memory. It just so happened that she remembered that there was a time-honored pharmacy nearby, and the reputation of the medicinal materials was very good, and in her previous life, she also caught medicine for Abba, and Abba commented that the medicinal materials were very good.
Almost can solve two things at a time, it is very convenient to find a car at the passenger station, take a careful look at the public stop sign, Su Li quickly found the bus he needs, 11 Road, the terminal station is Jincheng Tongtai Flower and Bird Market. Waiting for the bus and getting on the bus, Su Li set off towards her goal step by step.
Just after summer, after noon, people are still a little sleepy. It is the free time of the shops along the street, and the same is true of Hui Chai Tong. Zhang Ping is on duty today, the doctor staff in the store should rest and rest, and the one who should go home should go home, it is not yet the official work time in the afternoon, and the little girl on duty on the same shift with him went to the side of the pedestrian street to stroll, in the whole store, only the honest Zhang Ping was left to watch the store by himself.
The ethereal and crisp wind chimes of "Jingle Bell" sounded, waking up Zhang Ping, who was a little confused, reflexively stood up straight, looked in the direction of the entrance, and the wind chimes rang when the customer pushed the door, which was a guest coming to the door.
"Welcome to Hui Chai Tong!" did not slack off because the customer who entered the door was a little girl, Zhang Ping maintained the service attitude of training when he took up his post, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, do you want to take medicine or see a doctor?" ”
This is a beautiful and delicate little girl, under the curved bangs, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, black eyes, like two pills of black mercury in the white mercury, bright and clear. She was carrying a backpack and was not very old, she was supposed to be a student.
A light green coarse cloth mid-sleeved cardigan covered her slender body, a pink and red two-color moon season embroidery hovered along the placket, blooming on the right waist, covered with white cropped pants, black also embroidered with two-color moon season cloth sandals, obviously ordinary clothing, but this little girl wore an inexplicable style, Zhang Ping felt that his words were short, and found an inappropriate description.
She pushes the door with one hand and holds the flower pot in the other, the afternoon sun becomes her reflection, and she calmly seems to walk out of the painting.
"Hello, do you collect wild ginseng here?" Su Li walked to the counter and asked. Diagonally opposite the stop sign is this time-honored Chinese medicine pharmacy, Su Li got off the car without choosing the order of sale, first in the nearby bank with her grandmother's ID card to get a bank card, and then walked directly to push the door into the store, after solving the wild ginseng, she went to the flower and bird market to sell orchids.
"The price is set according to the situation of wild ginseng. How many years has our Huijitang been a time-honored brand, and the price is guaranteed to be fair! Zhang Ping replied with a smile and asked, "The little girl has wild ginseng that she wants to sell?" How many years? Dried or fresh ginseng? Did you bring it now? Can I take a look?"
"About a hundred years, fresh ginseng, in my bag!" Su Li carefully put the flower pot in her hand on the counter, took off the backpack on her shoulder and opened it, took out the wild ginseng package wrapped in old newspaper and handed it to the counter, opening it layer by layer, revealing a fresh wild ginseng wrapped in soil and roots, like a villain.
"Little girl, I'm just a clerk who can't judge the valuation, can you wait a minute? I called and asked the shopkeeper to come back, and the shopkeeper was at the flower and bird market next door, soon! After seeing the goods, Zhang Ping knew that he didn't have that level and didn't have the right to run out of stock. Fortunately, today, the shopkeeper Xu Lao is meeting friends on the next street, and he can come over soon.
"Okay." Su Li nodded, wrapped the wild ginseng and stuffed it back into the bag, held the orchid pot and followed Zhang Ping's guidance, went to the side of the medical area to sit, and waited for him to call someone to come over to inspect the goods.
After a while, before she finished reading the medicinal materials fed back to her mind by the medicinal fragrance of the store, the jingling wind chimes rang again, and a group of four people pushed the door in front of the two old men in Tang costumes in front of her.
"Xiao Zhang, who wants to sell 100-year-old wild ginseng?" He was drinking tea with an old friend, and received a call from the clerk informing him that someone was selling a century-old wild ginseng, and he immediately rushed over. Wild ginseng is rare, and the hundred-year-old wild ginseng is even rarer, and he hasn't seen it for a long time.
