Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a smile to Taihe's eldest grandson Baoqing: "Look, in less than a year, this guy will become the most unprovoked kind of person." You two, if you do something bad, don't fall into his hands. ”

Yu Tai couldn't help but sneer, the eldest grandson Baoqing didn't care.

The prince is bullying them and don't know what's going on, this Wei Zheng, although the prince washes the horse, but I heard that his relationship with the prince is not very good. Even if the crown prince has the upper hand in the struggle between the crown prince and the king of Qin, it is impossible for this Wei Zheng to ascend to the throne. A declining prince washing horses is not worth their vigilance.

Seeing that these two people didn't care, Li Chengqian didn't say anything more. There are some things that can be said as long as they are clicked, but if they are said too much, they will be bad. How scary it is for a seven-year-old child to be able to predict the future.

Since Wei Zheng is not here, then he can continue to visit the West Market.

With two cheap goods, Li Chengqian walked from the east end of the west market to the west end, but he was stunned and didn't see any spices for sale.

After strolling around for an hour, even the eldest grandson Baoqing had a little sore feet, and he couldn't help asking: "Shizi, what are you looking for, why don't you tell us, maybe we know where it is." ”

Since you can't find it, it's better to ask someone else.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said: "This king is looking for things like peppercorns, star anise, or spices like nutmeg, do you know where to sell them?" ”

The eldest grandson Baoqing covered his head with his hand: "My son! Sichuan pepper star anise is not sold in the West Market, and if you want to buy this kind of thing, you have to go to the pharmacy, both of which are medicinal materials. ”

Yu Tai also cried and laughed: "Shizi, spices such as nutmeg, that is something that only maritime merchants can bring." In addition, there is also a war on the side of Dashi, and few Hu merchants on the land can bring spices over. Even if there is, the price is only available to the palace. If we buy this thing in the Qin Palace, we will be impeached by the officials for being poor and extravagant. ”

“....”

Li Chengqian was speechless for a while, and later generations threw a lot of things into the pot, and they couldn't imagine that they were so expensive in this period.

But when he thought that salt was a rare thing at this time, he was relieved.

There are no foreign spices, and I can only pray that some local spices are still alive.

"Lead the way ahead, this king is going to the pharmacy."

The eldest grandson Baoqing could only take Li Chengqian to the nearest pharmacy, there was no way, with such a master, he could only follow the toss.

Not far out of the West Market, you can see a "Rejuvenation Hall" pharmacy, and you can smell the unique smell of Chinese medicine from afar. This will be put aside in the future generations, and it will be reported by neighbors to disturb the people, but no one cares here, but there are restaurants and inns on both sides, as if smelling this smell can live a long life.

The Rejuvenation Hall is supposed to be a medicine shop of conscience, and there are many people who come here to see a doctor, most of them civilians.

With the eldest grandson Baoqing and Yu Tai, Li Chengqian naturally stood at the back of the line.

Yu Tai asked puzzledly: "Shizi, your status is noble, how can you let these civilians rank in front of you?" If you're too embarrassed to speak, I'll help you get them away. ”

Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, let's just buy something, and we don't see a doctor, if we cut the line, we will delay the time for others to see a doctor." Be honest with this king! ”

Yu Tai could only nod, but he was more respectful to Li Chengqian.

He was born in poverty, and he attaches great importance to such a behavior of not putting on a show and being close to the people. He could feel that the King of Zhongshan was not deliberately pretentious, but really thought so.

The queue took more time than expected, and it was not until an hour later that it was Li Chengqian's turn, and it was already noon at this time.

Sitting in the middle hall was a white-bearded old man with a peaceful demeanor, and as long as the patients who came to see the doctor came into contact with him, his mood would unconsciously calm down.

The old man beckoned to Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "The little noble man wants to see a doctor?" ”

As early as when Li Chengqian arrived here, he noticed it. He praised Li Chengqian's behavior of obediently queuing up.

Li Chengqian sat in front of the old man and shook his head: "Ben.... I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to buy medicine. Old sir, do you have thirteen kinds of incense here, such as purple knock, sand kernel, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, Sichuan pepper, star anise, cumin, woody fragrance, angelica, sannai, good ginger, and dried ginger.... No, herbs? ”

Li Chengqian read it quickly, because this recipe had already reached the corner of his memory, and now he can only read it out quickly in retrospect.

Hearing these thirteen flavors of medicinal herbs, the old man stroked his beard, frowned, and said, "What is Zi Knock and Sannai?" The old man had never heard of it, but there were still some sand kernels, but the nutmeg had never heard of it. As for cinnamon, cloves, star anise, woody, ginger .... Lingnan is now at war, and the trade route has been cut off for a long time, and these things may not appear in the Central Plains for a long time. Sichuan pepper, cumin, and angelica are some here, but as for dried ginger, it is actually air-dried ginger, which is sold in many places outside. ”

Although Li Chengqian read it quickly, the old Chinese medicine doctor still heard it all.

"Sure enough, I can't make it up!"

Thirteen incense of this king!

Hearing the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, although Li Chengqian was prepared, he was still a little lost.

At a time when the stir-fry culture had not yet emerged, if he wanted to treat his mouth well, the most direct way Li Chengqian could think of was Thirteen Spices. As a result, only a few can be found in the end.

But that's fine, it's good to have.

Li Chengqian said dejectedly: "That old gentleman, if you have these things, you can just pack some for me!" ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor frowned, but he couldn't help but ask: "How many things does the little noble man want to cure?" However, as far as the old man knows, these medicinal materials are not compatible with medicines, and most of the medicinal properties are hot and dry. ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "The old gentleman is too worried, the kid wants these things not to cure diseases, but to cook." ”

"Cooking?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor screamed, and then waved his hand again and again: "No, it is a medicine that is poisonous, how can it be used to cook and eat?" You listen to the old man's advice, never no..."

He couldn't go on, because Yu Tai, who was behind Li Chengqian, had already exposed the horizontal knife on his waist with an impatient face, and he had the intention of pulling it out and cutting people if he didn't agree with him.

Yu Tai was very impatient, in his opinion, the prince deigned to line up here with the dignity of the dignified county king, which had already given the old Chinese medicine face enough. If the old Chinese medicine doctor says anything more, it is offensive, and a beating is light.

Li Chengqian turned his head and glared at Yu Tai dissatisfiedly, lowered his head, and then said to the old Chinese medicine doctor: "The old gentleman is too worried, and there will be no harm in solving the appetite of the appetite with these few things." ”

With Yu Tai's deterrence, the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only tell the boy to take these things to Li Chengqian.
