This is the first time Qiao Huaping has "entered the city" since he came to this era.
She looked around calmly.
The street has been in disrepair for a long time, the stones paved on the street are uneven, and there are many weeds growing on many corners. The shops facing the street are obviously some years old, and the signboards have been exposed to wind and sun for a long time, and have faded badly.
I can't even see the words clearly.
There are not many pedestrians on the street.
After walking and stopping, Qiao Huaping came to an ancient alley.
There is a large locust tree at the end of this ancient alley. It is very thick and thick, with dense and lush branches sticking out from the thorns. Several grey-haired nuns are chatting in the shade while holding the soles of their shoes.
A piece of tattered linen cloth was placed in front of them. On the linen cloth were piled a dozen pairs of cloth shoes with mille-feather soles, both large and small. It was considered as a stall.
Seeing Qiao Huaping coming over, these grey-haired nuns looked excited and started chattering away.
He was probably speaking in his hometown dialect, and this accent sounded strange to his ears.
What's even more strange is that it stands to reason that what they speak is local dialect, which Qiao Huaping can't understand.
But when these words with strange tones fell into Qiao Huaping's ears, it was like turning on a PHS translator, and the meaning was clear.
The nuns were asking her. These shoes were made of strong material and were easy to wear and durable. They asked her if she should buy them?
Qiao Huaping thought for a moment and realized that this was probably the effect of taking the spiritual water.
Not bad, pretty good.
Qiao Huaping squatted down with a smile and looked at the dozen pairs of shoes placed on the stall.
It's really good. Although it's made of coarse cloth, it's more sturdy.
Qiao Huaping held a pair of shoes about the same size as Mei Qingyao's shoes in her hand and raised her head: "Mommy, how do you sell them?"
She used to have half a birthmark on her face. During these days, she took spiritual water from time to time. Now the birthmark on her face has become lighter and lighter, and it is no longer as eye-catching and scary as before.
This kind of Qiao Huaping, even though she is dressed in Jingchai cloth and not decorated at all, can't hide her vibrant beauty.
In addition, her smiling face was very friendly, and when she spoke, she deliberately imitated the local accent, and the gray-haired grandmas immediately laughed.
"Fifteen cents a pair!"
With such meticulous craftsmanship, the soles are tightly packed, and they look very comfortable at first glance. The price is really not expensive.
Looking at the shoe sizes again, except for two pairs that are slightly larger and look like adult men's shoes, the rest are actually about the same size as Qiao Huaping and several children's shoes.
Qiao Huaping was now a rich little woman with a few taels of silver. She waved her hand and bought all the dozen or so pairs of cloth shoes in front of her.
She has many children in her family, and the children's shoe sizes vary. These ten pairs may seem like a lot, but in fact they are not that much.
Several grandmas screamed in surprise and quickly helped Qiao Huaping tie up all the cloth shoes with straw ropes so that she could carry them around easily.
Qiao Huaping did not leave immediately, but started chatting with several grandmas.
The grandmothers were all very talkative, and Qiao Huaping was very lovable. They pulled Qiao Huaping and started chatting like they were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
From the poor livelihood of the people in this county to the daughter-in-law next door to a certain grandma who just gave birth to a baby girl.
After chatting for a while, Qiao Huaping probably had a better understanding of this small county.
When Qiao Huaping was about to leave, the grandmothers were reluctant to leave him.
Qiao Huaping smiled: "Grandma, do you know which pharmacy in this county collects medicinal materials?"
After chatting for a long time, Qiao Huaping spoke the local dialect with a very distinct accent.
"Ah, you're asking this. By coincidence, you can walk a hundred or so steps along this alley, turn a corner, and you'll be there. That's our biggest drug store!"
Grandma was very enthusiastic: "How about I take you there?"
Qiao Huaping laughed: "Grandma, I can't get lost, just go there by yourself!"
After thanking some of the grandmothers, Qiao Huaping walked into the alley with a dozen pairs of straw sandals tied with straw ropes.
After walking a hundred steps, as expected, we were in front of a drugstore with a somewhat dilapidated banner, Hongsheng Drugstore.
But at this moment, the drug store was very busy. A middle-aged man wearing an indigo shirt was making a fuss with a red face: "How dare you take out Ganoderma lucidum of this color! If anything happens to my wife,
Let me tell you, don’t even think about opening this Hongsheng Pharmacy!”
Qiao Huaping glanced into the drug store.
The shopkeeper of the medicine shop looked like he was about to kneel down before the man: "Master Yu! Master Yu!... It's not that we don't want to give your lady good Ganoderma lucidum, but in our small place, we only have Ganoderma lucidum of this quality!"
This is the best Ganoderma lucidum in the store!”
Qiao Huaping took another look at the brocade box held in the shopkeeper's hand.
Although she was far away, she couldn't help her good eyesight. At a glance, she saw on the black velvet cloth in the brocade box, a Ganoderma lucidum that looked unattractive and looked not very energetic.
Qiao Huaping couldn't help but clicked her tongue.
Previously, she went to the bottom of the slope to rescue Song Yuelan, and by some strange combination of circumstances, she got a large amount of Ganoderma lucidum.
Among them, there is one that is so good that it can be called the king of Ganoderma lucidum. Although the other dozens of Ganoderma lucidum are a little smaller and cannot be compared with the size of the King of Ganoderma lucidum, their appearance is also excellent.
"Master Yu! This Ganoderma lucidum...I'll cut it in half and sell it to you for ten taels, okay?" the shopkeeper smiled cautiously.
The man who was called "Yu Ye" by the shopkeeper was furious: "Is I short of that little money?! I want the best Ganoderma lucidum!"
The drugstore shopkeeper was so frightened that he trembled: "There really aren't any small shops..."
The man stepped forward, grabbed the medicine shop owner by his collar, and shouted, "Then go buy it for me somewhere else! Buy the best Ganoderma lucidum, I'm not short of money!"
The drug store manager almost cried.
In the end, the man gave him three days to restock the goods, and then he left angrily, kicking the door hard as he left.
The drugstore shopkeeper looked sad.
It seems that we can only go to the city as soon as possible to have a look.
He was dejected and sighed heavily: "Alas."
As a result, as soon as the sigh filled the air, a smiling voice was heard: "Shopkeeper, do you collect Ganoderma lucidum here?"
The drug store manager looked sharply at the door.
Then he saw a woman in Jingchai cloth, carrying a dozen pairs of cloth shoes in one hand, and holding a Ganoderma lucidum as big as the mouth of a bowl in her other hand.
The drug store manager took a deep breath, came to his senses, and rushed forward with eyes shining brightly!
Ganoderma!
And it is such a Ganoderma lucidum that is of excellent quality!
The shopkeeper of the medicine shop burst into tears. This was like a mountain of mountains and rivers with no way out.
He didn't care about the business methods and the circles. The shopkeeper's eyes were straight. With tears in his eyes, he said to Qiao Hua: "Yes, yes, I want to collect Ganoderma lucidum."
The drug store owner couldn't hide his excitement, "How are you going to sell this Ganoderma lucidum?"
Qiao Hua screen glanced at the drug store.
There are tall drawers and cabinets in the drug store. The cabinets are very old at first glance, and the drawer handles are all shiny.
...That is, this so-called largest drug store in the county is actually a bit small.
