Chapter 10 Fang Tingshen
Walking on the bustling ancient streets, the staggered burden-carrying merchants shouted while shaking the rattle. The front is even more lively, several Jianghu artists are performing juggling, and there are many adults and children around the side, and the cheers are endless......
These sentient beings, whether sad or happy, crying or laughing, Sven or vulgar, even the rows of weeping willows by the river seem very different......
All these strange scenes around her made her feel dazed like a dream.
Walking all the way, unconsciously, when I arrived at the street of Fangjia Pharmacy, Ye Chanyi sat down in a temporary tea shed opposite the door, maybe it was still early, and there was no one in the tea shed.
Before sitting down, a little girl with an apple face came up and asked shyly, "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"
Son? Ye Chanyi was a little blindsided for a while, looked down and saw that she was dressed in green cloth men's clothes, and then asked the little girl with a smile: "Then what kind of tea do you have at home?"
"Hui Gongzi, our family has barley tea, mulberry leaf tea, wild chrysanthemum tea for a penny, as well as sour plum soup, mung bean soup, two pennies a bowl!" The little girl was very skillful in quoting the name of the tea, and her voice was crisp, and the tone was full of charm.
Sericulture is a major industry in Jincheng, so mulberry leaf tea is almost a must-have drink for every farmer, its nutritional and health care value is very high, and it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine that diffuses wind and heat. Mulberry leaf tea goes to fire and reduces inflammation, lowers blood pressure and blood lipids, and there is no strange taste when drinking.
There are so many mulberry trees, it is conceivable that when the mulberries are ripe, the streets and alleys will be full of old people and children selling mulberries, and the situation should be spectacular......
Wild chrysanthemums are very common in the mountains, and in autumn, these yellow chrysanthemums quietly bloom all over the mountains. Wild chrysanthemum is a good traditional Chinese medicine, to escape the heat and eliminate heat, clear the heart and eyes.
Ye Chanyi thought for a while, then ordered a bowl of chrysanthemum tea, and after turning around, the little girl happily brought the tea up, and Ye Chanyi said: "Thank you!" Then he lifted the bowl and took a sip.
The taste in the mouth is not slightly bitter and sweet like when I drank it, and then it has a little chrysanthemum fragrance, but it is a little sour.
At this time, the little girl was smiling and holding a rag and carefully wiping the table next to her. Seeing that the guests were looking at her, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and ran over and asked, "What does Childe think of the taste?"
Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, Ye Chanyi swallowed the tea before asking with a smile, "How is this chrysanthemum tea made in your store?"
The little girl blushed and told her about her own tea-making process, Ye Chanyi nodded, and praised with a smile: "It's not bad, but if you steam the flowers first, remove some bitter taste, and then dry them, not only will the taste be better, but also better storage!"
The little girl listened carefully, and then happily went to the shed, muttered a few words to the woman inside, and then happily brought out a bowl of sour plum soup, put it on Ye Chanyi's table and said with a smile: "This is what my mother asked me to serve to my son, saying thank you!" No money! ”
Ye Chanyi thanked her and accepted the sour plum soup, at this time a carriage stopped at the door of the Fang family's shop opposite, and the little girl saw that this handsome boy had been staring at the carriage, so she hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "In this car, it is the young master of this pharmacy, this Fang family is one of the largest households in our Jincheng......
I saw a young man of medium stature who walked out of the carriage with his head bowed, dressed in moon-white clothes, got out of the carriage and greeted the shopkeeper who came out to greet him with a calm face, and then several people entered the store together.
"The business of this store feels very average, and not many people come to see a doctor." Ye Chanyi took a sip of sour plum soup, well, sweet and sour tasted good.
"The Fang family has money, and it's nothing to lose a few shops? Anyway, this young master has been coming to this store a lot lately......" the little girl said as a matter of course.
When Ye Chanyi heard this, she just smiled and didn't say anything. This is to open the door to do business, in order to make money, and if there is a loss, it must be made up, rather than leaving it alone with a rich family background. Presumably, this young master is also worried about this pharmacy business.
Ye Chanyi finished drinking the sour plum soup, put down the three pennies, straightened her clothes and walked towards the pharmacy.
On the heavy black lacquer door plaque, the seal is engraved with several red lacquer characters of "Fang's Pharmacy", and a pair of couplets of the same paragraph are hung on both sides of the store door: "Collect 100 medicines and treat 100 diseases, gather thousands of ways to help thousands of families".
I have to admit that this ancient pharmacy concept is indeed much more humane than modern times, I remember that in the past, next to Ye Chanyi's Chinese medicine store, there was a big pharmacy, and every once in a while this pharmacy would hang a banner: buy ten get five free, buy more, buy more, and spend 128 to get ten eggs or a bottle of tofu...... A fixed minimum consumption of 100 yuan per month will give you double points to participate in the Hong Kong and Macao tour lucky draw ....... The opportunity is no longer lost, the loss is no longer coming, what you buy is what you earn, and there is no such store after this village...... It's all like this, hyping up more buys and more gives, and then there are discounts for applying for membership cards......
Walking into the store, I saw that the decoration inside was antique, the tone was light, and a familiar fragrance of Chinese medicine came to the face, Ye Chanyi liked to smell the smell of Chinese medicine since she was a child, and felt that it smelled very good.
At this time, there was only one old man in the store who accompanied an old lady to check the pulse at the doctor's table, and at this time, Fang Tingshen frowned slightly, and was checking something with the shopkeeper pointing to the account book......
The guy was diligently wiping the corners of the medicine cabinet, Ye Chanyi walked around with her hands behind her back, and no one came to take care of her, so she had to come to the counter and reach out and knock on the counter.
Only then did the two people who reconciled the accounts inside turn their heads, and the big shopkeeper took a step faster, got up and greeted: "May I ask this son if he wants to consult a doctor or grab medicine!" Please ask for the doctor, please bring me the prescription for the medicine. ”
Listening to his eager questioning, it should be that the problem with his host has not been resolved. Ye Chanyi smiled playfully: "I don't ask for a doctor or a prescription."
…… When the shopkeeper heard her words, his brows immediately furrowed, and even Fang Tingshen, who was still looking at the account book with his head down just now, raised his head and looked over.
The shopkeeper glanced at the owner's slightly frowning brows, and then opened his voice and said to Ye Chanyi: "This son, our Fang's Pharmacy is not a place for people to play around. You've got you figured out what you want. ”
