Section 137 Trip to Foshan (3)

The man led them through the middle hall, only to see that in the large courtyard were three rows of two-story long buildings, with passages between the buildings, rain or shine. The rooms are arranged according to the floors and are neatly arranged. This novel structure surprised Yang Shixiang, but it was not new to Liu San and Huang Tianyu - the drawings were probably designed by someone from the construction company.

The so-called Tianzi room, that is, the upper room, is specially located in a building in Zuihou. All of them are suites, with a bedroom and a lower room for the servants to rest. The windows are large and well lit. The furniture in the bedroom is comfortable and hygienic by the standards of this time and space.

The elder brother and Chen Tong, who came with him, put down their luggage and were busy laying out the bedding - the inn in this time and space does not provide bedding, and all guests bring their own. After the guy was busy, he brought hot water for washing his face and made tea. At the same time, I talked to them and asked them where they were going. Liu San was also perfunctory, and when a few people washed their faces and drank tea to rest, they brought candlesticks and candles and asked him how to eat dinner?

"Dinner is arranged by the store," Liu San took out a small piece of silver, always around two yuan, "the wine and food are all included." ”

"Yes, let's arrange it for the little ones!"

"Don't be busy, first take a few saucers for wine and a few pots of rice wine to the house. Is there a bathhouse nearby? ”

"Yes, yes, our store has a bathhouse, there are few people, and the water is clean. You always go with a key plate, and you don't charge any extra money. ”

Liu San and his entourage sat on the boat for several days, and they were dusty. Physically and mentally exhausted. I heard that there was a bathhouse attached to the inn, so we went to take a bath together. It's still early to come back from the shower. Liu San knew that his eldest brother was from Guangzhou, so he gave him a vacation and let him go to the city for a walk.

The three of them were in a rather leisurely mood, and asked the guy to ask for eight plates of side dishes, a pot of rice wine, and drank it slowly. Talking about the things in the medicine industry, and talking about the things in the medicine market, Yang Shixiang and his father went to Qizhou - medicine - market once when he was a teenager, and he told what he saw and heard.

Qizhou-Yao-Shi, that is, Anguo County, Hebei Province in this time and space, is remote and inconvenient, and it is not a production base for medicine-materials, but all parts of the country use this place as a trading center for medicine-materials. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been the prototype of the medicine market, and in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it has formed the largest distribution center of medicine and materials north of the Yangtze River, and has a history of more than 500 years along the development of the Qing Dynasty.

“…… It's not strange to say it," Yang Shixiang said, "Qizhou is the birthplace of 'medicine-king', and everyone says that the hometown of the king of medicine is particularly effective-medicine-materials are not in Qizhou, and there is no medicine-taste; ”

Liu San thought that there was still such a saying, and Yang Shixiang continued: "Qizhou-medicine-market, all kinds of medicine-merchants gather, north and south-medicine-materials, all of them are complete, it is really spectacular," he sighed and shook his head, "There are thousands of 'tooth people' on the market who help pull fiber!" There are thirteen gangs of pharmaceutical-merchants, and there are more than 300 people who come to the drug-market to trade. ”

"What is the Jingshi Gang?"

Yang Shixiang explained: Because there are many merchants from all over the country who come to trade, in order to mediate the disputes of merchants from all over the country and other external matters, the local pharmaceutical merchants are grouped into various gangs according to the region, and the number of gangs often changes. Each has a different business project. For example, the Shandong Gang specializes in whole scorpions, ejiao, melon wilt and danpi; Shanxi Gang specializes in antelope horn, wolfberry, west fritillary, coltsfoot, cumin and so on. If you want to buy any goods-color-, you can directly find each gang-drug-dealer, and basically get it accurately. Very convenient,

Liu San was itchy by him, how many of the medicinal materials in such a spectacular place that he had only heard of and had never seen? This is simply a holy place for those who study Chinese medicine. It's just that Huang Taiji is about to sweep - sweep - now, Hebei will not be able to go for a while and a half, so he has to hold back his urgency.

"Earlier, when my father first came to Lingao to open a store, he also went to the pharmacy market a few times, but then he didn't go. In the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, there is no store that can go to the -medicine-market-" He sighed again, feeling very lonely.

Huang Tianyu saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he turned to talk about what good goods he could find in Foshan. His public identity was that of a merchant, and he was going to Foshan to sell some goods.

"Foshan is known as one of the four famous towns in the world, and there are many good things," Yang Shixiang said, "The most famous ones are: ceramics, ringing cloud yarn, and bronze." ”

Ceramics and silk industry Huang Tianyu is known, bronze is the first time to hear, inquire carefully, it turns out that Foshan is still a place famous for casting, bronze casting is very developed, Guangxi Fujian, as far as Nanzhili, bronze Buddha statues, copper incense burners and other things are mostly cast here. And there are also a large number of copper and iron cannons cast here.

The foundry industry is developed, and there will be no shortage of foundry workers. Huang Tianyu decided that in addition to getting some ceramic workers this time, the foundry workers also had to get a group of them -- the Labor and Energy Committee was lacking such indigenous technicians.

Yang Shixiang said that in fact, in addition to these, Foshan's traditional Chinese medicine industry is also very developed, and there are seven or eight well-known large medicine and herb shops, which also produce and sell many Chinese patent medicines. Liu San decided to buy some of everything back at that time and supply it for clinical trial. To be truly effective, no matter how clever you are, you have to get the recipe in hand.

As he was talking, he saw the door curtain lifted, and then someone asked, "Master!" Listen to a song, shall you? ”

The voice of the speech is still crisp, only the awkward mouth of some Cantonese people to speak official language. Liu San raised his eyes and saw that she was a girl about twenty years old, holding a tooth plate in her hand, a green jacket sprinkled with flowers, and a silk silk belt around her waist. Combing a "throwing bun", the eyes are not big, and between the expectations, the charm is flowing, which is quite attractive.

Behind him was a half-old woman, holding a folding fan in his hand.

Huang Tianyu said impatiently: "Don't, don't." ”

"What's the point of having fun going against the odds." Yang Shixiang seemed to be quite sophisticated about this, and made a gesture, "Come here!" ”

The girl smiled, waved her hand to the old woman behind her, and walked in alone, asking for peace: "Dare to ask what the master is called?" ”

"My surname is Yang." Wang Youling asked her, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave Shucui." Shucui asked for another peace, a pair of flexible eyes, around the faces of the three men, lowered his head, and lowered his eyes, only to see the long eyelashes-hairs. This infatuated and affectionate demeanor made several people's hearts move.

Liu San is more open: "Since you're here, let's sing a few tunes." ”

"Yes, I don't know what the master likes to hear?"

Liu San and Huang Tianyu looked at each other, they didn't know anything about this Dao. Yang Shixiang beckoned, asked the old woman to bring the fan, and ordered a few tunes.

Shucui tapped his teeth, and his vermilion lips spit out words, which couldn't be said to be good, but ...... They don't understand a word! I think it's also a word of affection for children and lingering compassion. Yang Shixiang is better, Liu San and Huang Tianyu are both long-standing resentful men, how can they withstand such teasing. After a few cups of rice wine in my stomach, I felt more and more hot.

Yang Shixiang leaned into Liu San's ear: "Doctor Liu, are you still satisfied?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Liu San had already taken Shucui from head to toe, looked at it carefully, and nodded to express satisfaction.

"Let her come to your room in the evening."

"This-" Liu San's heart moved, saying that it was false that he didn't have this mind, but he couldn't help but hesitate a little when he thought of the few people who went to Bairen General Hospital every day to get needles on his buttocks. Shucui is a fireworks woman, if she is infected with some unclean disease, won't she win the jackpot? Thinking of his wife's appearance when the dark cloud flower attacked, I couldn't help but feel cold, and my interest was more than half.

While hesitating, Huang Tianyu whispered, "I have a condom." ”

Liu San glared at him fiercely, and now the woman was his--he was not so forward-looking when he went out-sexual-, and he didn't dare to openly bring a condom when he packed his luggage, and the queen's wife's training was not vegetarian.

"Then it's yours," he said to Mr. Huang in Mandarin.

"I'll lend you a set ......"

Liu San was excited for a while, although he and this surnamed Huang were accomplices in crossing, they were not familiar with it, and they were actually willing to be so generous - condoms are not just things to buy and use casually, everyone uses them all their own private goods.

"It's okay, it's all my own brothers, and it's useless to leave this thing for too long."

Yang Shixiang saw the two muttering for a while, thinking that there was only one woman, so he hurriedly said, "I want Shucui to call another girl later." ”

Liu San couldn't care less about being reserved at this time, and nodded.

Yang Shixiang said to Shucui: "You go out first, and when I turn back, I will call a man to greet you, and bring another girl." ”

"Yes, Master Xie Yang." Shucui said in a greasy voice, "The slave has a new sister, and the master will like it." As he spoke, he pursed his lips and smiled, said goodbye, and lifted the curtain and left.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, all of them knew it. Just like that, while drinking, chatting and laughing, it was close to the time when the lamp was held, and Yang Shixiang sent his men to call Shucui.

As soon as the curtain hook sounded, Shucui floated in, with a young girl behind him. Wearing a rain-swept silk jacket, the waist is made extremely tight, and a lotus-colored skirt underneath is like a willow in the wind.

It's just that he looks smaller, his body is thin and small, he has a pair of big eyes on a small face with melon seeds, and his pupils are big, and he looks very honest. The black hair is tied with a little emerald silver hairpin, and a few seasonal flowers are worn, which is a little incongruous.

Damn, how old is this girl. This looks like a standard Lori, Huang Tianyu thinks that she is the first year girl who came out of the attached middle school at the door of her workplace, and she must be a girl who has not developed much.

The old society was really sinful. But this girl is not bad-looking, at least her complexion - much fairer than what they have seen in Lingao

"Slave Qianqian, please say hello to the two masters." The girl came up and was blessed.

"Serve the two masters well!" Yang Shixiang told her this, got up and went out.
