Chapter 368: Visiting the capital
Bai Zhihan has lived in the capital for a short time, because the female celebrity is good, and many people come to ask for her works as treasures, but this time she entered Beijing in a low-key manner, and no one knew, and the old lady Qu did not take the initiative to tell anyone. When Bai Zhihan lived in the capital, she rarely went to the streets, so she never went to many places herself. The guide was not very competent, and the two of them went with their surnames, wandering wherever they went.
The place where they live is close to the East Market, where the rich gather, but Zuo Shaoyang doesn't particularly want to go to the East Market, because the most attractive thing for him is the Imperial City. It was where the emperor lived, and the most attractive figure in ancient times was, of course, the emperor. Traveling back to ancient times, I have the opportunity to see the emperor's home, of course, I have to go and see it. Although I have seen the emperor's own brother, it is still incomparable with the emperor.
Although the East City is not too far from the Imperial City, there are high walls along the way, and there is nothing to see, so they found a nearby rental carriage sent to the Imperial City according to the guidance of the innkeeper, and the fare is very cheap.
The two got on the car, and after a while, the car was full, and they first arrived at Chang'an Avenue at the gate of Dongshi, and then turned to the west, stepping on the smooth and wide Chang'an Avenue, and headed for the imperial city.
From afar, I saw the high walls and green tiles, the golden and brilliant imperial city, and it was really extraordinary, and stopped outside the imperial city, the two got off the carriage, and there was a forbidden army in the distance, and pedestrians were not allowed to approach, Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan stood on the side of the street excitedly looking at the imperial city. I want to wait and see if there is a royal convoy to come out and see the excitement.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone coming out, let alone the emperor's motorcade. The autumn tiger was like a fire, roasting people's scalps to smoke, the two had no intention of waiting, and stupidly decided to turn back to the East Market for a walk, and took a carriage to the East Market.
Dongshi is located in the west of Chang'an City, near the castle. It is also a city area enclosed by high walls. There are two city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the whole East Market is very large, and it is very lively inside, and the streets are full of pedestrians and tourists. On both sides of the street, there are various signboards and banners, which read restaurants, restaurants, silk shops, medicine shops, butcher shops, blacksmith shops, and so on.
There are stalls on both sides of the road, all kinds of snacks, fortune tellers, those who sell huqin, sell cloth heads, etc., the shouting and shouting of the guests come and go, there are jugglers in the open place, there are many people who run the rivers and lakes to sell their arts, there are many onlookers, laughing and applauding from time to time, throwing copper coins as the sound of long-term sound constantly.
It was too hot, so the two found a roadside stall, spent two pennies and ate a bowl of mung bean and sour plum soup to relieve the heat, and then continued shopping.
Due to the proximity of the East Market to the wealthy area, there are many high-end shops in it, selling jewelry, jade, high-end leather goods, gold and silver jewelry, etc., and there are many gorgeously dressed men and women who come to purchase in sedan chairs.
Zuo Shaoyang is of course most interested in the medicine store, let's see what kind of medicine there are first. There are many more types of medicines in Dongshi Pharmacy than in Hezhou, and if you visit a few medicine stores that are not very big, the variety of medicinal materials in them is far beyond that of Hezhou. Including the last time I treated dermatitis caused by vegetables in Hezhou, the much-needed banlan root and mint that only appeared in the early Tang Dynasty were sold in the pharmacies here, and the prices were not expensive. In addition, many medicinal materials that were just used in the early Tang Dynasty were also found, such as Coptis chinensis, Long Root, Aoki Xiang, Safflower, Borneol and so on. Let Zuo Shaoyang be very excited, these are commonly used medicines, the medicinal materials are the same as the rice of the Qiao woman, there are no suitable medicinal materials, no matter how good Langzhong is, he can't cure the disease.
Of course, he also had another purpose for visiting the medicine store, which was to find the "Jishi Medicine Store" that the medicine cabinet said, which was the one where the medicine cabinet wrote a letter of recommendation for them to help the matchmaker. It's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to find it, so I'll look at the medicine store slowly all the way, and I'll talk about it when I arrive.
He entered a relatively large medicine store, looking at the medicine one by one, suddenly, the footsteps outside the door were messy, and many people came in, one of the young men carried an old man on his back, and led a woman to say to the shopkeeper of the medicine store: "Tao shopkeeper, is there a life dispersion?" ”
The shopkeeper of this medicine store is surnamed Tao, and he knows these people, and he is busy: "Yes! "Busy directing the shopkeeper to bring a small porcelain vase.
A few people put the old man on a long bench, the old man snorted, and the shopkeeper brought a bowl of water, which was very hot and couldn't drink it for a while. This raw pulse is powder again, and it can't be washed down without water.
The shopkeeper stomped his feet and said, "Won't you go next door to ask for a bowl of cold boiled water?" ”
The shopkeeper went out with a bowl.
At this time, Zuo Shaoyang watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but say: "He can't use raw pulses to disperse his disease!" ”
The crowd was taken aback and looked at him.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Shengmaisan is used to treat the severe disease of prostration, and the old man's disease has not reached that level, and it is not the right symptom and has no effect." ”
The old woman asked, "Who are you?" ”
Bai Zhihan stepped forward and said: "My son-in-law is the young shopkeeper of Guizhitang in Hezhou, and he is a very famous Langzhong in Hezhou. ”
"Hezhou?" Several people carrying the old man looked at each other, and one of them said, "Hey! Very remote in a small state. ”
Several people immediately showed disdain on their faces, and when they saw that he was so young, they ignored him.
Zuo Shaoyang didn't care, and continued: "The old man looks at it like this, the weather is too hot, and he has heat stroke, although the heat stroke is relatively serious, but it has not yet reached the level of prostration, and it cannot be dispersed with raw pulses." You can use acupuncture to puncture the Shixuan acupoint, and then bleed, and prick the large vertebrae, Quchi, ear acupuncture Shenmen, sympathetic acupoint, and at the same time moxibustion Shenqi acupoint should be able to wake up. At the same time, you can use a handkerchief soaked in warm water to wring out and wipe the head and limbs, and then use well water to compress the head to cool down, and you can also use Huoxiang with perilla, magnolia, banxia and other medicines to decoction. ”
At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran in with water: "The water is coming!" ”
The old woman took the cold boiled water and glanced at the few who had been sent together: "What should I do?" Do you want to take this medicine? ”
A young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle does seem to be suffering from heat stroke, and the sun has been under the sun for so long, why don't you treat it first according to what this young man said?" ”
A middle-aged man said: "Governance? Will you cure? ”
"Hehe, I won't, otherwise, let this son treat it."
The others said: "Forget it, what disease can a little man from a remote countryside cure?" Don't cure people. ”
Zuo Shaoyang couldn't cry or laugh, when he arrived in the capital, he turned out to be a country man, but thinking about it, Hezhou wants to compare with the capital, but I'm afraid that it can only be regarded as a countryman. At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "You don't have to fight, since you can't believe in contemptible, why don't you find a Lang Zhong to take a look at the disease?" It's better than finding medicine to eat by yourself, this medicine can't be taken indiscriminately. The old man's disease is not in danger at present, and it is no problem to find a doctor in Langzhong. ”
Several people nodded secretly, and the middle-aged man said, "Why don't we go to Zhen's Medical Center?" Out of the north gate of the East City, the south gate of Shengye Fang is. It's just off Chang'an Street. Not far. The Zhen family is the most famous Langzhong in the capital! ”
Everyone said yes, and the old woman nodded. Thanks to the shopkeeper of the medicine store, and thanked Zuo Shaoyang, he hurriedly went out with the old man on his back to leave.
Zuo Shaoyang said again: "This can't be done, the old man has suffered from heat stroke and can no longer bask in the sun, so he has to use an umbrella to shade the sun!" Take off your top to dissipate heat! ”
A few people looked at each other, the shopkeeper Tao was also kind, and immediately brought a red oil paper umbrella to lend them, a few people felt that what Zuo Shaoyang said made sense, so they helped the old man untie his clothes and open them to the air, holding an umbrella, and hurriedly left after thanking them.
The shopkeeper Tao smiled at Zuo Shaoyang and said, "The son turned out to be a Langzhong, and he was disrespectful." ”
Zuo Shaoyang returned the salute: "Where, the shopkeeper's urgency is admirable." ”
"Hehe, it's all from the neighborhood. If you can help, you can help. May I ask the young shopkeeper to respect his surname, is it to buy goods in the capital? ”
Of course, Zuo Shaoyang was embarrassed to say that he was actually here for a blind date, so he snorted vaguely.
The shopkeeper Tao immediately smiled all over his face: "Don't you dare to ask the shopkeeper's surname?" ”
"Little surname Zuo."
"Young Master Zuo, you are right, the medicine of our 'Zexiang Pharmacy' is one of the most complete medicine stores in the capital, not only the price is fair, but also there are many varieties, but if you can name the medicine, I have to sell it, even if the medicine is very partial for a while, as long as you say the place of origin, give time, I will be able to get it for you."
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "What you said is a little bigger, right?" ”
"Big? Young Master Zuo, I didn't blow it, even if you are a medicine store in Hezhou, it is also related to our Zexiang! ”
"Really? Who are they connected to? Zuo Shaoyang said with interest.
"Old man Zhu of Hengchang Pharmacy, the largest medicine store in Hezhou, is a good friend with me!"
Zuo Shaoyang recalled that the medicine store recommended by the medicine cabinet was called "Jishi Medicine Store", and the shopkeeper was also surnamed Bao. However, the medicine cabinet also said that he was very familiar with many medicine stores in the capital, and he chose the Bao family medicine store with business dealings to help protect the media. Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "It turns out that the shopkeeper Tao knows the old shopkeeper." What a coincidence. I also often hear Uncle Zhu talk about his peers in the capital, especially mentioning a company called 'Jishi Medicine Store', and the shopkeeper's surname is Bao. ”
"That's Brother Bao, that's right, the old shopkeeper Zhu has business dealings with several of our big medicine stores, and the old shopkeeper Zhu often buys from us, and often buys from them."
"That's it, I also brought a letter to Shopkeeper Bao, and I don't know where his medicine store is."
"Really? Just ahead, just around the corner. - I said Young Master Zuo, if you want to buy medicine, you don't need to go to him, I have all the medicines there, to be honest, I have some medicines, and he doesn't have some medicines. Really, I don't lie to you, but the price is about the same on both sides, and I won't tear down his desk. We're two old brothers, hehe, it's true. ”
Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "I came to the capital for something else, I really didn't come to buy medicinal materials, we have a small business, and the demand for medicinal materials is not large, so there is no need to buy medicinal materials directly from the capital." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, our wholesale and retail are OK, if Young Master Zuo is in the capital to see a doctor, prescribe a prescription and let them come to me to buy medicine, of course, if Young Master Zuo wants to dispense medicine, just come to me directly to buy it, and I will give you the wholesale price!"
