Shen Yourong saw what he was thinking, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, by the way, do you know any more powerful craftsmen?" Yang Lin thought for a while and said.

"Craftsman?" Shen Yourong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Does Xianggong want to create something?" If there are things like wood and ceramics, it is also simple, the Shen family has its own craftsmen, which should be considered more powerful. ”

"Hmm, the Shen family still has this?" Yang Lin nodded, and then said, "I have a few things that need someone to help build, I'll draw a few drawings later, just press them." ”

"It just so happened that a batch of pearls was shipped from Jiangning, ready to be polished into medicinal powder, if Xianggong needs it......"

"Ah, why all this?"

"It's nice to be embedded in it."

“……”

"Some of the hairpins on the concubine's body are inlaid with pearls, which looks a lot more exquisite."

"No need......"

Shen Yourong nodded when she heard this, but she didn't ask anything, and after eating, she took Yang Lin's drawings and went out, it just so happened that she had a banquet to attend in the evening.

As for Yang Lin, he called Xiao Yun to go shopping together, and some of the raw materials can be found from his own pharmacy, but he doesn't need to work hard to make them himself.

Yang Lin, who has worked at the grassroots level for several years, has not yet enjoyed the life of going out with a secretary, but he has really experienced it in this life.

It feels good to go out without a wallet...... As long as you look at what you want to eat, the little maid will run over with a clear look, and then come over with a big bag of things.

In fact, there are a lot of snacks in this era, such as sugar gourds, figs, various pastries, preserves, etc., as well as the very ornamental handicraft of the candy blower, which can definitely attract a large number of donkey friends in later generations, but it can be seen everywhere here.

These are all handmade in the true sense, both in appearance and taste, they are impeccable, Xiao Yun is holding a string of sugar gourds in her left hand, holding a sugar man in her right hand, and following Yang Lin with a happy face.

That's right, how could a little girl at this age resist the temptation of snacks, seeing how happy she looked, if she wasn't worried that she would eat too much and break her stomach, Yang Lin wanted to take her to walk down the entire royal street.

"Hmm...... Uncle, why don't you eat sugar gourds. The little girl asked, holding a sugar gourd in her mouth.

"It's too sweet, it's not good for your teeth, and there is no special toothpaste these days, so it will be uncomfortable in case of tooth decay."

"What is toothpaste, Yun'er has only seen tooth powder, but tooth powder is not easy to use, and it is always easy to stick to your body when you wash in the morning."

"Uh, it's the tooth incense, it should already be there at this time, right?" Yang Lin said uncertainly.

At this time, there should have been toothpaste, but the original name should be called tooth fragrance, which is synthesized with spices and medicinal materials, the price is expensive, and the taste is not good, and later the emperor sent someone to develop a cheap and affordable toothpaste, which is made of willow branch juice, accompanied by ginger water to condense into a gelatinous body, not to mention the taste, so the general rich people would rather choose tooth powder.

"Hmm, it turns out that my uncle is talking about that." The little maidservant suddenly realized: "That's what the monks of the Great Xiangguo only use, I heard the young lady talk about it, it seems to be called a tooth incense chip, and the medicinal materials in it are still bought from the Shen family's shop." ”

Toothbrush and toothpaste are a combination of a toothbrush and toothpaste, made with spices and herbs, pressed in a mold, pressed into the shape of a toothbrush, packed in a small bag, and hung on a belt. When you get up in the morning and after fasting, take out the tooth incense chip from the bag, put it in your mouth, and rub it up and down, left and right, right and right a few times, and then rinse your mouth.

The paste-like tooth incense is disposable, but a tooth incense chip can be brushed many times, each brush is soaked in clean water, and then packed in a small bag, and left for the next time to brush, but this kind of thing is too troublesome to use and is not popular.

When it comes to this, the little maid is proud, the Shen family's business in Bianjing is very extensive, in addition to a few fixed shops, places like Daxiangguo Temple where high-ranking officials come and go, they will buy some medicinal materials from the Shen family on time and in quantity.

In addition, the toothbrush has appeared in this era, with bamboo and wood as the handle, a ponytail is planted, and the mouth can be rinsed by dipping it in tooth powder, which is not much different from later generations, so there is not much room for the traverser to play, and Yang Lin does not plan to make a fuss in this regard.

Or hurry up to develop the flower water mosquito coil, otherwise you have to fight with mosquitoes every night, and then get up the next day with double panda eyes.

After eating and drinking enough, the master and servant went straight to the Shen family pharmacy on Yujie.

After experiencing the last oolong, the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy reflected for a long time afterwards, and vaguely guessed Yang Lin's identity, this time he was much smarter, and when he saw the little maid beside him, he suddenly realized that it was indeed the second aunt.

"Aunt Yang...... The last time the hospitality was not good, it was the fault of the old decay. ”

"Haha, you're polite, old man."

"I don't know ...... Aunt Yang came over this time"

"Buying medicine."

"Buying medicine?" The old shopkeeper was stunned, then shook his head and said, "My own shop, if Aunt Yang needs anything, just order someone to get it." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to the young apprentice not far away, asking him to entertain Yang Lin well, and he returned to the counter to continue settling accounts.

In addition to the wood flour starch used to make mosquito coils, some medicinal materials such as rosin, mugwort, arsenic/frost and sulfur are also needed, and fortunately, these materials are easy to find in pharmacies.

Under the apprentice's puzzled gaze, Yang Lin packed all the medicinal materials that needed to be used, and did not forget to let Xiao Yun settle the medicine money.

The old shopkeeper was going to refuse, but when he looked up, he found that the two had gone away, so he had to give up, and his opinion of this uncle was a little more complicated, and he talked decently, but he acted quite strangely, and he didn't seem to do anything serious when he came to the pharmacy twice.

Of course Yang Lin didn't know the opinion of the old shopkeeper, after buying the materials, he and Xiao Yun walked around the street for a while, and when they passed by the alum building, they looked at it from a distance.

At this time, it is just past noon, and this time is often just starting to open, and there is occasionally an intermittent sound of silk and bamboo inside, which should be someone practicing playing and singing, and there is the voice of the 'old mother' teaching the newcomer, and the tone is also extremely harsh.

Yang Lin glanced at it twice, then withdrew his gaze, just like this, it also provoked Xiao Yun next to him to snort for a while, and said that after his uncle beat him once, he began to not learn well.

In a certain room on the second floor of the alum tower, near the window, there were two beautiful figures, one of which was the 'Qian'er girl' that Yang Lin had met before.

The other woman was dressed in flowing white clothes, looking about twenty years old, with black hair and vertical buttocks, snow-white skin, a beautiful and delicate face, a pair of red phoenix eyes black and white, and cold as ice and snow, and the pale lips were slightly pursed, but they gave people a cold warmth.

The two sat opposite each other, and in front of her, Qian'er watched her play the guqin on her lap over and over again, like a student listening to a class.

"The heart is in the arts, the road is not far away, it is the experience I have summed up over the years in the industry, and if I want to practice the piano well, it is not an overnight thing."

The woman opened her mouth and was about to continue, when she suddenly found that the girl opposite was looking out of the window, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "Qian'er? ”

"Ah...... Senior sister, look, it's that person! ”

"Huh? Which person? The woman who was called Senior Sister was stunned, and then looked at the place where she was pointing.

I saw a pair of young men and women talking and laughing walking through the royal street in the distance.
