Section 141: A Trip to Foshan (7)

As he spoke, he shook off the cloth bag, and there was indeed an embroidered spring knife inside, which was very small in size, probably specially ordered for her. "Isn't it good? It's a pity that there is no small flying fish suit around, so wearing a flying fish suit and carrying a knife, standing in front of the emperor, it is really beautiful! ”

Huang Tianyu shook his head, is this girl also a uniform control?

"I heard that the emperor is a handsome and elegant person......" Li Yongxun began to be a nymphomaniac, "If only I could stand for him, even if it would be good to stand once." ”

"Then he took a fancy to you and chose you to enter the palace......" Huang Tianyu remembered the Ming Fan girl he met in the past, and there were really a lot of people who wanted to be a palace maid, maid, and concubine for Chongzhen. It seems that there are pink women everywhere.

"The emperor is going to take a fancy to it, and being a courtier is naturally going to get it." Li Yongxun's eyes were confused, "But as long as I can stand for the emperor, I will die without regrets." ”

Huang Tianyu looked at her with a nymphomaniac look and felt that it was funny and cute. I had to laugh dryly.

At that moment, he ordered someone to call a ship to Foshan and carry the luggage on the ship one by one.

Yang Shixiang went to the familiar Qinglou last night and didn't come back until midnight. I left early this morning, and found that the Qianqian girl who came to sing last night suddenly changed her dress and wanted to leave with them. I thought that the shopkeeper Liu had moved - lust - heart to take her in. Liu San didn't explain much, only said that Qianqian was going to Foshan to join her relatives, and they were doing good deeds to send her all the way. Yang Shixiang also specially reminded Liu San not to rashly take in such a woman of unknown origin, so as not to be released into the pigeon. Liu San smiled bitterly and said that he would definitely be careful - I don't want to take her with me.

Along the way, Liu San took care of his senior brother and kept an eye on this Li Yongxun to prevent her from becoming a ghost. Li Yongxun has been honest since he got on the boat, and he didn't make any trouble. is pestering Huang Tianyu in the cabin all day long, asking him to tell him what he has seen and heard. Huang Tianyu used to be a military enthusiast and otaku, where did he come from what he saw and heard from all over the world, so he had to read the tourist posts when he was on the Internet, and the nonsense covered by clouds and mountains and fog. During the conversation, I also learned a little about this little girl, and knew that this girl was the only daughter in the family, and her mother died early and was brought up by her father. This time she slipped out to "resist marriage" is also to express her solemn protest against her father's refusal to ask for her opinion, but Huang Tianyu did not look resolute at all when he looked at her, but seemed to have found an excuse to come out to play.

After Li Yongxun slipped out of the house, he went all the way south to Guangzhou. Because there is a distant relative in Foshan, he can't get mixed up anymore and has a defector. And I heard that there are a lot of novelties and fun things in Guangzhou. encountered several dangers on the way, and relying on the waist card she received from her father's colleagues, she finally saved the danger every time. She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows a little about detection, concealment, and all kinds of rivers and lakes, and the idle gangsters are not her opponents.

"Uncle, what is this thing made of?" Lee Yong-hoon still has a lot of thoughts on ketchup. When eating, Huang Tianyu had to be forced to take out the tomato sauce, and the tomato sauce that was originally going to be coated with steamed buns was mixed into the rice for her to eat, and she also invented tomato sauce mixed with porridge, tomato sauce mixed with pickles...... Zuihou also took a spoon and scooped it up and ate it - half of the bottle of ketchup was consumed. Huang Tianyu, who loves ketchup so much, is the first time he has seen it.

"It's ketchup. Made with a fruit called tomato. ”

"Tomatoes? I planted it in Guangzhou. ”

Huang Tianyu vaguely agreed, he didn't want to spit out the word Lingao in front of this girl, lest it leak out that this girl was going to Lingao again:

"It seems to have been introduced from a foreign country."

"Uncle, give this ketchup to Qianqian." This girl was unceremonious. Although Huang Tianyu is twenty-eight years old, where has there been such a cute girl surrounding him with an intimate "uncle", and he agreed immediately. When Liu San found out, he asked her to "blission" in exchange for this thing - this thing has the effect of paralyzing nerves, and maybe it can be used as a reference for the people of the Ministry of Health to develop plant-based anesthetics.

Except for the trade of ketchup for Blissan , there was nothing to do all the way, and on the morning of the third day, the ship had arrived at the Foshan wharf. The group disembarked. Yang Shixiang was more familiar with this place, and first took the servants to the investment store with their luggage - Liu San had a deep impression of the inconvenience of traveling in ancient times, but in fact, the time was only more than ten o'clock in the morning. In modern times, this is just the beginning of the errand, after the completion of the night to open the room, where you can book a room in advance. But if you don't settle in quickly this time, there may be no room at night.

Huang Tianyu hired two sedan chairs to send Li Yongxun away. This time, she didn't make any more trouble, and pointed out the place. When I arrived at the place, I looked like a solid person. Li Yongxun called someone in at the door to deliver a message, and after a while, several servants-women came out and took her in, and Huang Tianyu was also welcomed to the living room to serve tea. A person who looked like a housekeeper came out to entertain a few words and asked about the situation along the way. Huang Tianyu said something about the pre-set tone, it was nothing more than a chance meeting on the road, seeing that she was single on the road, I was afraid that it would be unsafe, so I sent it by the way.

The steward thanked him and asked him where he was, and then he was sent out of the door.

As soon as Huang Tianyu returned to the inn, someone had already sent a six-color gift. It was that family who sent it. Yang Shixiang looked very satisfied:

"This family is still very polite." Saying that, he picked up the post, "There is another post here, it seems that people take this girl very seriously, and they want to invite us to dinner and socialize." ”

The post is a piece of paper with a red color, and the inscription is "Lin Ming worships". Judging by the name, it is about an ordinary merchant's house, and a scholar would not take such a simple name. Liu San speculated.

"Rice, we won't eat, let's quit." Huang Tianyu is reluctant to waste time on this, he doesn't like this kind of entertainment, and he wants to devote himself to the inspection of Foshan's handicraft industry immediately.

"People have sent posts," Liu San said, "and there is always a full number of gifts." In addition, we will come and go to Foshan often in the future, and it is easy to do things with an acquaintance. ”

Yang Shixiang thought so. The banquet was on the second day, and today everything went smoothly because of the investment store, and it was just after noon at this time, and it was still early. So they made up their minds that Liu San and Yang Shixiang would visit the main target of the visit first: "Yang Run to open the church". Talking about cooperation is not likely to be successful at one time, but it will have to go back and forth several times, and it is better to hurry.

At the moment, the gifts brought from Lingao were prepared with four colors, which were nothing more than local products, and I called two sedan chairs and came and went from the pharmacy store.

Foshan Town, together with Hankou Town in Hubei, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province and Zhuxian Town in Henan, is known as the "Four Famous Towns". The prosperity of the market is not inferior to Guangzhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Porcelain and silk were exported in large quantities, and industry and commerce were extremely developed. Eighteen provinces in the world have guild halls located here, which can be regarded as the thoroughfare of the world.

Liu San and his entourage walked on the street for more than half an hour, and suddenly saw a seat archway in front of them, and a strong smell of medicinal materials came from the end of their noses.

The sedan chair really stopped, the senior brother came over to open the sedan curtain, Liu San came down to take a look, and the pharmacy in front of him was magnificent enough! He had been to the original site of Tong Ren Tang in Beijing, but it was still slightly inferior to here.

The store has seven open doors, all of which are two-storey, with the gate passage in the middle and the other five warehouses, which are stored upstairs and downstairs - medicinal materials, and the smell is very strong.

Yang Shixiang led him through the gate, into the head into the courtyard, in the courtyard of the bluestone slab, the sedan chair, the carriage horse, the waiting sedan chair driver, the coachman, the entourage servants, bustling, like a busy city. In the middle of the courtyard, there is also a mat shed on both sides of the road. There were pots and stuff like that, and there were people lining up. Tea is served approximately.

At this time, there was a fishy smell wafting from the end of the nose, and I saw that the west end of the yard was isolated from other places with stone strips, and a deer garden was set up, and several sika deer were raised. Because it was already early summer and the weather was hot, the deer had no energy to sit and lie under the awning. However, this also attracted many onlookers.

Liu San had only seen this method of soliciting customers in books, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"Yang Run's whole deer pills and deer antler velvets are famous." Yang Shixiang said, "Our ancestors relied on this to develop. ”

Quanlu pill tonifies the kidney and fills the essence, nourishes qi and peiyuan, is a great tonic - medicine-, in a commercially developed place like Foshan, the rich people gather together, and naturally there are many "widows and diseases", no wonder the Yang family can make a fortune with this.

"My family originally lived in Liaodong, doing a medicine-material business, and the fourth ancestor moved to Foshan. That's why you can have this craft. Yang Shixiang talked about his family history, "Originally, there were still several of our family friends, but later the Liao affair was eroded, and these family friends probably also suffered, alas! ”

The ancestor of the Yang family still came from Liaodong, which was much more than Liu San expected.

"Why didn't Runshitang do this?"

"Lingao's place, made for whom to eat."

"Brother Shixiang, no one eats in Lingao, it doesn't mean that no one eats in Qiongshan, and it doesn't mean that no one eats in Leizhou and Lianzhou. You have this recipe in your hand, but you actually have a lot to do. ”

"All deer." Yang Shixiang said, "This thing is not easy to obtain, and it must be a live deer, and it will be killed when it is time to combine medicine in autumn." I have to be taken care of on weekdays, and my father didn't think about it back then, but it was too expensive to buy deer and raise deer, and a small shop like ours couldn't support it. ”

Pick up the bluestone steps, only to see the main hall hanging black-color-vermilion character plaque, the name of the bookstore: "Yang Run Kaitang Ji", and there are two plaques with black background and gold characters under it, one book: "Authentic - Medicinal Materials", one book "Zungu Concocted". On both sides of the main wall is a beehive-type medicine-cupboard-medicine-bucket, and there is a counter in the middle of the store. There is also a carved horizontal cabinet with a height of one foot on the black and shiny - medicine - cabinet, and there is a blue flower and white bottom porcelain altar that stores fine goods such as pills, powder, ointment, pills, medicine and wine. Above, there are many different sitting plaques, on which the books "effective Qingxiang", "search the mountains and kick the sea", "the city hidden Hankang...... The layout is extremely rich and elegant. And Yang Shixiang's Runshitang is a heaven and an underground. Even in modern time and space, there is no such magnificent Chinese medicine shop. Liu San couldn't help but admire.
