Chapter 511: High-backed crucian carp
I decided to buy two pairs, one for use and one for collection, which can be regarded as a trip to Yunnan Province.
Before she could hand out the money, He Chongjiu asked the salesperson to wrap up all the six sets of chess on the counter.
"Brother Chongjiu, why are you buying so many chess pieces?" Wan Huan asked in wonder.
She remembered that He Chongjiu played chess well, and she didn't hear that he liked Go, why did he buy so many chess pieces?
He Chongjiu said with a smile: "The handmade chess pieces are uneven, they all fall together for a while, you choose two good pairs to come out, and I will take the rest back and give it away!" ”
"This comrade seems to be an expert! When connoisseurs buy chess pieces, they generally buy a few pairs and choose a pair from them, but the quality of these clouds is the best, and they have been selected before they go to the counter, and two pairs can be selected at least one and a half! The salesman said with a smile.
The words of the salesman are still very credible.
Now it doesn't matter whether it's a supply and marketing cooperative, or a department store, because it's all state-run.
The remuneration of salespeople is not linked to sales performance, and it is rare to exaggerate the rhetoric to deceive sales.
Finally, when he returned to the sanatorium, the six chess pieces really picked out the best four pairs, and he unceremoniously took the best two pairs for himself.
In addition to Lao Yun's chess pieces, Duan Huan also bought many medicinal materials that were special to Yunnan Province in the pharmacy.
Perhaps because of the large output of medicinal materials in Yunnan Province, there is no need for a letter of introduction to buy medicine, and the pharmacy salesman will not ask much about what he wants to buy.
The opportunity was rare, and I bought it on a large scale, and finally filled two sacks.
The plant medicinal materials include Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia, Fritillaria, Yunmuxiang, Coptis yun, Poria cocos, Suoyang, Baixue tea, Black Snow tea, Cordyceps, Snow Lotus, Safflower ......
Animal medicinal materials include clams, snakes, black snakes, money white snakes, pangolins, musk, deer antlers, bear bile, leopard bones, monkey bones, civet incense......
There is no need to bring the medicinal materials back to the sanatorium, the post and telecommunications office is not far from the medicine store, and it was mailed back to Sichuan Province directly, and by the way, I also took a telegram to Grandpa Xu to report his safety.
Dinner was eaten in the sanatorium, which coincided with the Sanatorium Tooth Festival today, and the food with meat and fish was much better than Huanhuan imagined.
The meat is stir-fried bacon with tea tree mushrooms, the fish is steamed fish, and there is a green vegetable tofu soup.
I especially like the steamed fish, which is tender and tender, and the taste is a little sweet.
You must know that only wild fish with particularly good water quality will have this sweet taste.
"Brother Chongjiu, this fish is delicious! You eat more! "I reciprocated with joy, and Li also gave He Chongjiu a chopstick fish.
He Chongjiu's friend Sun Lin said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Xu likes to eat this fish, it is better to stay in our courtyard for a few more days, this is the high-backed crucian carp caught in Dianchi Lake, which cannot be eaten elsewhere!" ”
"Such a big fish is actually a crucian carp?" The fish on the plate weighed three or two pounds, and it really didn't look like a crucian carp.
Sun Lin popularized science for everyone, "Yes, this kind of high-backed crucian carp is a new species that has only been recognized in the past two years, the largest is five or six catties, and it is funny to say, most people used to think that it was poisonous, except for the surrounding ethnic minorities who dare not eat it!" ”
The high-backed crucian carp knows that it is a unique species of Dianchi Lake and its nearby water system, or parthenogenesis, when she came to Yunnan Province in her last life, this fish was already a protected species, but she had heard of it but had not eaten it.
The taste of crucian carp is too good, so I decided to go for a walk by the Dianchi Lake after eating, and by the way, I went to catch a few high-backed crucian carp and put them in the lake of the space.
There was no train to Gui Province the next day, He Chongjiu used his work card to buy a sleeper train ticket for Duan Huan the next day, and handed Duan Huan a bag before getting on the train.
Duan Huan swept the bag in his heavy hand, "Brother Chongjiu, what is this?" ”
"Some of the gadgets I bought for you before, now I don't have to go to the post office for you," He Chongjiu said to Huan Huan Shun the broken hair that was blown off his forehead: "Be sure to pay attention to safety outside, and remember to give me a letter when you go to the capital!" ”
"Got it, I'll call you when I get to the capital!" Wan Huan nodded happily, "But it is estimated that it will be in mid-September at the earliest." ”
After He Chongjiu left, he opened his satchel, which was wrapped in newspapers, and it was full of jadeite rough stones and ivory carvings.
Jadeite is not a large piece of rough stone, it is basically only the size of a palm, and the largest bracelet can be cut into small circles at most.
However, the colors are complete, in addition to the common color jadeite with red jade, green and purple, there is also a very rare piece of ice yellow jade and black ink jade.
The ivory carvings should be the local crafts of Yunnan Province, with strong ethnic minority characteristics, and the degree of delicacy is not as good as the carvings produced in Yangcheng, Gusu and Beijing.
Before the joy, I regretted that in addition to local products, there were no handicrafts in Yunnan Province, but I forgot about the stubble of jade and ivory.
However, the wind in Spring City has been tight recently, and I have been wandering around for a long time in the afternoon, and I haven't found any black market.
I don't know where He Chongjiu got these things.
There is no black market and scrap yard to treasure for, and the rest of the day and a half is boring, so I just go to the nearby Liangwang Mountain to go around.
The traffic situation in Spring City has not been ideal for decades, let alone now, and the shuttle bus is time-consuming and uncomfortable, so you can simply ride a horse to get there.
Compared with the capital Hujiang and other big cities, there are not many carriages and horses on the streets of Spring City as a means of transportation, and it is not abrupt to ride a horse.
The land here is generally acidic red soil, the land is barren, and the grain production is not high, and the two sacks of rice used by horses are replaced in less than two hours.
In exchange, there are all kinds of strange things, there are local specialties of Baozhu pear, there are all kinds of dried wild mushrooms, the villagers have hung ham on the beam for several years and are reluctant to eat, common medicinal materials such as Codonopsis Panaxopsis, there are also some crude tea, and even batik cloth wood carving......
An uncle covered in patches exchanged a few copper coins that were said to have been picked up on Liangwang Mountain for a little rice in his pocket.
The legend of the treasure of Liangwang Mountain in Yunnan Province has a long history, but for hundreds of years, there has been an endless stream of treasure hunters, but no one has really found the treasure.
The Yuan Dynasty was a minority regime, and the entire imperial court was not wealthy, and the last vassal king in Dian Province had no time to take care of his own troops, horses, and fortifications, so how could he have the energy to hide treasures?
The so-called treasure legend of "nine treasury gold and nine treasury silver on Liangwang Mountain" is mostly just a rumor.
At first glance, most of these copper coins were common in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they were not valuable and had almost no collection value.
However, Duan Huan still changed, and gave the uncle two more handfuls of two-pound noodles.
I heard from the villagers that this uncle is a dutiful son who has been supporting his demented old mother for decades.
It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and it is rare for this filial piety to not change its original intention for ten years, and he is willing to help such a person.
After the things were changed, the onlookers slowly dispersed, enjoying themselves in this village, and they couldn't take out any more food.
She sat in the saddle and was not in a hurry to urge the horse forward, but let the horse go slowly, and then slowly walked to the next village.
The population around Liangwang Mountain is not large, and the villages are relatively sparse, so it took half an hour to reach the next village.
While it was strongly welcomed by the villagers, there was also an unexpected accident.
