Chapter 57: Dongzi
After entering the county seat, Gu Chengli felt that his eyes were not enough to see, although he had worked part-time in the town, the county seat was more prosperous than the town. The streets are lined with small shops, and in the middle of the street is a constant stream of cars, horses, and pedestrians, and the hawkers shout louder and louder.
Gu Chengyu compared Qinghe County with Shanhe Town, the county seat is indeed much more prosperous, and the east side of the county must be the county government. In this dynasty, the city was dominated by the east, followed by the north, in both directions inhabited by wealthy families, and to the west and south were shops, merchants, and common people. Shinong industry and commerce, Dayan's businessmen have the same low status, but businessmen are rich! Therefore, the poorest people are actually the common people in the south.
However, Gu Chengyu, as a modern person, has he never seen any bustling streets? I just think that ancient towns are more humane, and modern cities are more indifferent.
It is not easy for such a large number of shops to find Chuntang, they are not familiar with the place, so they can only ask others for directions. looked at Gu Chengli, only to see that he was dizzying at the shops and novelties on both sides of the street, and he was still a little shrunken. The eldest brother will definitely not be able to count on it, and it will definitely not be possible to let this honest man ask for directions. I looked at Gu's father again, but I didn't expect his father to be calm, as if he had seen the world, but he was also looking around, hoping to find the medical hall.
"Dad, there are too many shops, and we don't know where the Rejuvenation Hall is, so we still have to find someone to ask." Gu Chengyu suggested.
Li Langzhong said that the Huichun Hall is on West Street, and this is South Street, let's go to West Street first, and walk left from here to have a look. Boss, look at the road ahead, don't get lost, it's better to be Xiaobao! "Daddy Gu saw that Gu Chengli was only looking at the excitement, he was not as good as a little baby, he was a little angry that he couldn't support the wall in the mud, and he didn't know how to look at some little treasures.
"Dad, haven't I ever been to the county seat? Father! The road in this county is really wide! Gu Chengli sighed.
"Let's go! Carrying such a heavy load, you are not too tired. "Daddy Gu was a little uneven, if he was really old, he carried these twenty pounds of things, and it was a little difficult for a long time.
"Big brother! Hurry up and give Dad a hand, Dad can't carry it anymore! When Gu Chengyu saw his father, there was a slight sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly asked his eldest brother to help.
"Stinky boy, that's it, of course your father and I are okay. Let's go! "Daddy Gu was almost unbearable by what Gu Chengyu said, and his age is not very old!
Gu Chengyu pursed his lips and smiled, his father is not convinced of old age! However, in modern times, it is in the prime of life! But in ancient times, sixty years old had to be a birthday, so it was not too young. Seeing his father carrying the sack, leaning on his back, holding his hand and walking in the crowd, and paying attention to separating him from the crowd, Gu Chengyu grabbed Gu's father's hand tightly, he hasn't grown up yet!
The three of them finally crossed South Street and came to West Street. The environment of West Street is neat and clean, there are many shops on both sides of the street, but there are no hawkers to set up stalls, it seems that there are all large shops here, and the main people with high consumption come over. After walking a few steps inside, I saw that the first row on the left was the Rejuvenation Hall, and the next one was Buzhuang.
Daddy Gu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, the county seat is indeed quite big, and it took half an hour to walk from the south to the Rejuvenation Hall.
The façade of the Rejuvenation Hall is very large, with two rooms with double openings, and there are many people who come and go to get medicine and see a doctor. Gu Chengyu stood outside the door and looked into the shop, only to see that in front of the counter of the pharmacy, three apprentices were grabbing medicine for patients, and there were two or three jobs responsible for ushering in the delivery. As for the doctor and the shopkeeper, they must not be seen at the door, they should be in the inner hall.
Since you're here, you're definitely going to go in and ask. "Dad, let's go and sell the honeysuckle first, carrying a strange weight." Gu Chengyu felt that he still had to find the shopkeeper directly, and the guy couldn't be the master.
"Then let's go inside!" Father Gu settled down, and it was inevitable that he would panic when he saw such a big medical hall.
"Dad, are we going to sell it in such a big medical center? I don't know if people will accept it, and if they can see our idea. Gu Chengli was a little reluctant.
"Big brother, we're all here, why don't you go in? If you don't accept it, you have to go in and ask, right? Dad, there are a lot of people inside, and it's inconvenient for you to carry things in, so I'll go in first and ask, and I'll come out to call you later. Gu Chengyu decided that he would go first and ask, and by the way, he would explore the price, and without waiting for his father to agree, he ran into the hospital with a smoke.
"Huh? Xiaobao? Come back soon. Alas! This baby ...... "Daddy Gu didn't have time to stop it, so he watched Gu Chengyu enter the medical hall, fortunately, the gate of the medical hall was big, and he could see Xiaobao's figure inside, otherwise he would have chased after him."
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the medical hall, a guy came to greet him: "Little brother, do you want to see a doctor or catch medicine at home?" Is there a prescription for medicine? ”
Gu Chengyu saw that the person who was asking was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and wanted to find out first. "Little brother, I'm not here to grab medicine, nor to see a doctor, but to ask, I don't know if your family accepts medicinal herbs?"
When the young man heard that he was here to sell medicinal herbs, he thought that the medical hall had never collected additional fees, and there had always been a special supply channel. "Little brother, the medical hall has a special supply of pharmacists, and there is basically no scattered income! What kind of herbs are you selling? ”
"It's a honeysuckle picked by myself in the mountains, it's all sun-dried, and it's in very good condition! I looked for Lang Zhong to see it. Gu Chengyu didn't report Li Langzhong's name, and he didn't necessarily know him when he told a guy.
"If it's honeysuckle, then I'll help you ask, it just so happens that there is a shortage in the store, and our shopkeeper still chattered that honeysuckle is hard to find, but there are many partial ones."
"Then thank you little brother, I don't know what little brother is called?" The young man is honest and enthusiastic.
"My surname is Liang, and how old are you, if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Dongzi! This is my nickname. Dongzi also saw that this little baby spoke modestly and politely, and he didn't look down on them, so he was naturally willing to help him. Like them, they are sent to the shop, and they can't even compare to apprentices.
"By the way, where are your medicinal herbs? I'll find a little master to show you. ”
"Outside! My dad carried them on their backs. Brother Dongzi, I still want to ask, can you tell your shopkeeper about it? "Gu Chengyu saw that Dongzi was looking for a junior apprentice, but that didn't work, the apprentice couldn't be the master.
"That's a little difficult, we usually don't see the shopkeeper Liu, everything is in charge of Master Zhang on the counter, you can also find the two Langzhong who see a doctor, the shopkeeper is generally not in the shop. It's the same for you to find a little master for this medicine, even if they can't be the master, Master Zhang can be the master. Dongzi was a little puzzled, presumably there would not be a lot of medicinal herbs dried in his house, so why should he find a shopkeeper?
Gu Chengyu can also understand that the young man is estimated to be unqualified to find the shopkeeper, so it is better to meet the master first, and then the master will pass it on, it will be easier. But I'm afraid that they will come unfortunately, and the shopkeeper is not there, so isn't it a trip in vain?
