Chapter Twenty-Three: Brother and Sister!?
When I came to the door of the bookstore, I looked up and saw the four big characters of "Chaoyang Bookstore" engraved on the door plaque.
Walking into the door of the bookstore, there are some elegant scholars wearing long shirts and coats, holding scrolls, the bookstore is divided into three areas, the far left is the sales area, are some people who come to buy books, the books on it are also clean and tidy; The reading area in the middle is like a modern library, but those who read books are either standing or squatting, but everyone reads a book seriously, but the books here are a little yellowed and even some are broken; On the far right is the recreation area, which is full of travelogues, and there are very few people who patronize them, and even if there are, most of them are children of five or six years old.
Because of the red line, Su Xiaoxiao followed Qin Mo into the counter of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was a shrewd-looking person, holding an abacus in his hand, and looking at the middle area from time to time, and began to drive people out when he saw more people.
Qin Mo stepped forward, and the shopkeeper retracted his gaze, and the face that had just been stiff instantly turned 360°, and the standard professional smile flashed Su Xiaoxiao's titanium alloy dog eyes.
Did this shopkeeper learn Sun Wukong's thirty-six strategies, and changing his face is faster than turning a book.
Seeing that it was Qin Mo, the shopkeeper's smile became even more rampant, "Qin Xiucai is here, sit down, sit down, go and pour a glass of water for Qin Xiucai." He noticed Su Xiaoxiao behind him again, his eyes flashed, and he reacted casually, "Two glasses of water!" ”
"Okay" A child dressed as a scholar got off the bookshelf and ran to the back to get water.
The shopkeeper is a very shrewd person, who has been working for more than ten years, and there are so many people back and forth, he can see it at a glance, so after seeing Su Xiaoxiao, he also understands that this must be ....... "Qin Xiucai's sister, I say, she looks so beautiful, and Qin Xiucai looks exactly the same!" ”
Hehe, where do you see that we look like brother and sister, and your eyes are white.
Qin Mo darkened his face and explained, "This is my wife. ”
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air.
But this really can't be blamed on the shopkeeper, the main thing is that Qin Mo is wearing old clothes that he doesn't know how many times he has washed, Su Xiaoxiao is wearing clean and exquisite, and the style of the clothes is the latest model of this year, which is a model of pampering a daughter and raising a son poorly, but .......
The cabinet is really the shopkeeper, so he was embarrassed for a moment, and laughed twice, "The two of them are really talented and beautiful, and they are really a good match." ”
The little scholar just now also came out from behind with two glasses of water, and the shopkeeper gave a few more instructions to the scholar, then rubbed his hands and walked to Qin Mo's side: "Qin Xiucai, all the books you copied before have been sold out, and there are many people earning to buy your books these days, look, do you want to take a few more copies, I have a lot of new ones here recently. books, all of which are today's most recent exam books. With a thud, he pulled out a stack of books from under the cabinet.
Qin Mo took a sip of tea, flipped through the books taken out by the shopkeeper, and only selected two, one was a commentary on ancient poems, and the other was a collection of excellent articles from previous years, "Just take these two first." ”
"Okay, well, as long as it's Qin Xiucai's handwriting, these books are in short supply."
After that, Qin Mo handed over the copied book to the shopkeeper, paid the salary, and exchanged a few more greetings, mostly praising Qin Mo's good handwriting, good book selection, etc., and went out.
Su Xiaoxiao was in a state of confusion throughout the whole process, it turned out that this is the charm of Xueba! Just copy a few books and everyone can buy them, and her father-in-law is too good at making money.
However, this is indeed a mind-consuming job, and although there are many people who buy it, most of the profits go into the pocket of the shopkeeper, and her father-in-law does not earn much, in order to let her father-in-law study with peace of mind, she also has to make good money!
After making up her mind, she walked towards the street, and before she came, she had already asked Aunt Sun which pharmacy was affordable, which pharmacy had the highest medical skills, which pharmacy had the most complete medicines, and which pharmacy was the most out of supply.
This shop has just moved to the town recently, and there are not many supplies, but because the price is relatively affordable, and I heard that it is still a branch from the city, it has been buying herbs at a high price during this time, so it is the most in line with Su Xiaoxiao's requirements.
Stepping into the door of Tongrentang, a strong medicinal fragrance came to my face.
This medicinal fragrance Su Xiaoxiao is the most familiar, not only recalling the days when he was a medicine boy in his own medicine hall in his previous life, that kind of day seems to have happened yesterday.
The scale of the medicine hall is not large, but it is better to be clean and tidy, the number of people who come and go is not much, but it is also clean, the middle is a long counter with rosewood, and the back is densely packed with small grids of medicinal materials classified one by one, and the two sides are the real location, but now I don't know if the business is bad or what the reason is, these guests are taking medicine, and no one sits on the clinic.
At this time, a little medicine boy, wearing a blue boy's costume, with a big "same" printed in the middle, greeted him, with a smile on his face, a little cute and cute, "Are the two of you coming to see a doctor or catching medicine, if you see a doctor, it's really unfortunate, my master has to go out today and need two or three days to come back, if you buy medicine, give me the prescription, and this will help you catch it." ”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Do you accept herbs?" ”
The little medicine boy hesitated a little, but then reacted and led them into the backyard with a decent smile, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and invite senior brother." ”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and looked at the backyard casually.
The backyard is very large, there are three brick houses, and the medicine is in the front hall, and there are a few people in blue children's clothes who are wearing the same back pain as they just now, where are the medicinal materials, among which the medicine here is the strongest.
It will be difficult for ordinary people to tolerate this taste, after all, some herbs are too strong, and En's mind feels dizzy and even vomits, but Su Xiaoxiao has been accompanied by herbs every day since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to the smell here, and he doesn't feel anything.
However, Qin Mo was miserable, and he didn't feel anything about the light taste of Yanxiang in the front hall just now. Ting, the stomach turned over for a while, and the real person was bloodless.
Noticing Qin Mo's bad face, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly took out a bamboo cyan sachet embroidered with tender bamboo from his sleeve and put it in Qin Mo's hand, "Xianggong, the smell here is a little heavy, this is the sachet I use, you can cover some by hanging it on your body." ”
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao give him the sachet on his body, he tied the sachet back to her with his backhand, "I'm fine, the smell here is heavy, you take it first." ”
Seeing Qin Mo's resolute attitude, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take it with him, after all, the original owner had never been exposed to herbal medicines, and if he performed too much cover, he would be suspicious.
However, he still approached Qin Mo with the sachet, which could also help cover up a little.
