The waiter led them through the central hall, and they saw three rows of two-story long buildings in the large courtyard. There were passages between the buildings, which were rain or shine. The rooms were arranged neatly by floor.
This novel structure amazed Yang Shixiang, but it was nothing new to Liu San and Huang Tianyu - I think this drawing was probably designed by someone from the construction company.
The so-called Tianzihao rooms, also known as upper rooms, are specially located in the last building. They are all suites. They not only have bedrooms, but also have a lower room for servants to rest. The windows are large and the lighting is sufficient. The furniture in the bedrooms
The layout is considered comfortable and hygienic by the standards of this time and space.
Gao Di and Chen Tong, who had come with him, put down their luggage and were busy making bedding. The inn in this time and space did not provide bedding, so guests had to bring their own. The waiter was so busy that he brought hot water for washing his face and made tea.
While talking to them, Liu San also asked about his whereabouts. Liu San also made some perfunctory remarks. When several people finished washing their faces and drank tea and rested, he brought candlesticks and candles and asked him what he wanted for dinner.
"Dinner will be arranged by the store." Liu San took out a small piece of silver, always around two cents. "The food and wine are included."
"Yes, little one, let's make arrangements right now!"
"If you're not busy, let's bring some wine plates and bottles of rice wine to the house. Is there a bathhouse nearby?"
"Yes, yes, our store has a bathhouse attached. There are few people and the water is clean. You just need to bring the key tag and there is no extra charge."
Liu San and his party had been on the boat for several days and were exhausted physically and mentally. They heard that there was a bathhouse attached to the inn, so they went to take a bath together. After taking a bath, they came back too early. Liu San knew that Gao Di was from Guangzhou, so he let him go.
Let's take a day off and go to the city for a walk.
The three of them were in a rather leisurely mood. They asked the waiter to order eight plates of side dishes and a pot of rice wine, and drank slowly. They talked about some things in the pharmaceutical industry. When it came to the pharmaceutical market, Yang Shixiang and his father went to Qi Qi once when he was a boy.
He went to the state medicine market and told what he saw and heard.
Qizhou Medicine Market, which is Anguo County, Hebei Province in this time and space, is remote and has inconvenient transportation, and it is not a production base for medicinal materials. However, drug dealers from all over the country use this place as a trading center for medicinal materials. It has been there since the Song Dynasty.
The medicine market took its early form, and by the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty it had become the largest medicinal material distribution center north of the Yangtze River. It reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 500 years. This is a strange phenomenon.
"...It's not surprising to say that it's strange," Yang Shixiang said, "Qizhou is the birthplace of the 'King of Medicine'. Everyone says that the hometown of the King of Medicine is particularly effective. If the medicinal materials are not in Qizhou, they will have no medicinal taste; the medicinal materials will be tasteless or
What tastes thin will taste strong as soon as it arrives in Qizhou."
Liu San thought that there was such a saying, and Yang Shixiang continued: "Qizhou Medicine Market is full of drug dealers from all walks of life, and all the medicinal materials from the north and south are available. It is really spectacular." He sighed and shook his head.
There are thousands of 'tooth men' who help with fiber pulling! There are thirteen gangs of drug dealers, and the Jingshi Gang alone has more than 300 trade names in the drug market."
"What is the Capital Gang?"
Yang Shixiang explained: Because there are many merchants from various places for business, in order to mediate disputes between merchants from various places and other external matters, drug dealers from various places are organized into gangs according to regions. The number of gangs often changes. There are so-called "Thirteen Gangs" that exist all year round.
". Each has different business items. For example, Shandong Branch specializes in whole scorpions, donkey-hide gelatin, melon wilt and red bark; Shanxi Branch specializes in antelope horns, wolfberry, fritillary, coltsfoot, fennel, etc. Whatever you want to buy, just look for it directly
Basically, all drug dealers can get it right. It’s very convenient.
Liu San was itching to hear what he said. How many medicinal materials were there in such a spectacular place that he had only heard of but never seen? This was simply a holy place for people who studied Chinese medicine. But now Huang Taiji was coming.
Hebei will not be able to go to Hebei for a while, so I have to suppress my urgency.
"When my father first came to Lingao to open a store, he went to the medicine market several times, but then he stopped going. There is no store in Qiongzhou Prefecture that can go to the medicine market-" He sighed again, feeling
Very lonely.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Huang Tianyu turned to the topic of what good goods he could find in Foshan. His public identity was that of a merchant and he was going to Foshan to sell some goods.
"Foshan is known as one of the four famous towns in the world and has many good things," Yang Shixiang said. "The most famous ones are ceramics, Xiangyunsha, and bronze wares."
Huang Tianyu knew about the ceramics and silk industry, but this was the first time he heard about the bronze industry. After further inquiry, it turned out that Foshan is also a place famous for its casting.
Most of the Buddha statues, copper incense burners and other things were cast here. A large number of copper and iron cannons were also cast here.
The foundry industry is developed, and there will be no shortage of foundry workers. Huang Tianyu decided that in addition to getting some ceramic workers, this time he also had to get a group of foundry workers - the industry was in short supply of such indigenous technicians.
Yang Shixiang said that in fact, in addition to these, the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Foshan is also very developed. There are seven or eight well-known large herbal medicine shops, which also produce and sell many proprietary Chinese medicines. Liu San decided to buy some of each to supply clinical trials.
Give it a try. To be truly effective, you have to get the formula no matter how clever you are.
As they were talking, the door curtain was lifted, and someone asked: "Sir, would you like to listen to some music?"
Her speaking voice was quite crisp, only some Cantonese people had a hard time speaking Mandarin. Liu San looked up and saw a girl of about twenty years old, holding a tooth plate in her hand, wearing a green coat and a floral skirt, and wearing a silk ribbon around her waist. She was combing her hair.
She wears a "home bun", her eyes are small, and when she looks around, she is charming and charming, which is quite charming.
Behind him was an old woman, holding a folding fan in her hand.
Huang Tianyu said impatiently: "No, no."
"What's the harm in going on a reverse journey to have some fun?" Yang Shixiang seemed to be quite experienced in this matter. He waved his hand and said, "Come here!"
The girl smiled sweetly, waved her hand to the old woman behind her, and walked in alone, saying hello: "May I ask what your name is?"
"My surname is Yang." Wang Youling asked her: "What is your name?"
"Slave Shucui." Shucui greeted him again. A pair of flexible eyes circled the faces of the three men. He lowered his head and lowered his eyelids. He saw long eyelashes that kept dancing. This
The rather charming and affectionate demeanor made several people's hearts move.
Liu San was more open-minded: "Since I'm here, let's sing a few songs."
"Yes, I wonder what the master likes to hear?"
Liu San and Huang Tianyu looked at each other, they knew nothing about this. Yang Shixiang waved to the old woman and asked the old woman to get the fan and ordered a few songs.
Shucui tapped his teeth lightly, and the words came out from his red lips, which were indescribably sweet and touching, but... they couldn't understand a word! I guess they were also words about the love between children, and the lingering sentiments. Yang Shixiang was better, Liu
San and Huang Tianyu were both resentful men for a long time. How could they withstand such teasing? After a few glasses of rice wine, they felt increasingly hot all over their bodies.
Yang Shixiang leaned close to Liu San's ear: "Doctor Liu, are you satisfied?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Liu San had already looked at Shu Cui from head to toe, and nodded to express his satisfaction.
"Let her wait in your room tonight."
"This -" Liu San's heart moved, and he would be lying if he said he didn't have this intention, but when he thought of some of the people who went to Bairen General Hospital to get injections on their buttocks every day, he couldn't help but hesitate. Shu Cui is a fireworks woman, if she is infected
What kind of unclean disease is this? Isn’t it like winning a jackpot? When I think of my wife’s appearance when Wu Yunhua attacks, I can’t help but feel cold, and my interest is reduced by more than half.
While hesitating, Huang Tianyu whispered: "I have condoms."
Liu San glared at him fiercely, and now the woman was his - he was not so forward-looking when he went out, and he did not dare to openly wear condoms when packing his luggage. The queen's wife's training was not a vegetarian.
of.
"Then it's yours," he said to Huang Tianyu in Mandarin.
"I'll lend you a condom..."
Liu San was excited. Although he and the man surnamed Huang were time-travel accomplices, they were not familiar with each other, yet they were willing to be so generous. Condoms are not something that can be bought and used casually. Everyone uses them as personal belongings.
.
"It's okay, we are all our brothers. Besides, it is useless to keep this thing for too long."
Yang Shixiang saw the two of them muttering for a while, thinking that there was only one woman, so he quickly added: "I'll ask Shu Cui to call another girl later."
Liu San couldn't care less about being reserved at this moment and nodded.
Yang Shixiang said to Shucui: "You go out first. I will ask the guy to greet you later and bring another girl."
"Yes, thank you, Master Yang." Shu Cui said in a greasy voice, "I have a new sister here, and I am sure the master will like her." After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled, made another greeting, and left with the curtain closed.
The few people looked at each other and smiled, they all knew it well. They drank, chatted and joked like this. When it was almost time to light the lamp, Yang Shixiang sent the waiter to call Shu Cui.
As soon as the curtain hook clicked, Shu Cui floated in, and behind him was a young girl. She was wearing a rain-stained azure silk jacket with an extremely tight waist, and a lotus-colored skirt underneath, like willows blowing in the wind.
.
She just looks a little smaller, with a thin figure, a small face with big eyes and big pupils, and she looks very honest. There is a green silver hairpin with branches in her black hair, and she is wearing
There are a few seasonal flowers, some of which are not very coordinated.
Damn, how old is this girl? She looks like a standard loli. Huang Tianyu feels that she is just like the first-year girls from the attached middle school in front of his workplace, and she must be a girl who is not very developed.
The old society was really sinful. But this girl looked pretty good, at least her skin color was much fairer than what they saw in Lingao.
"Slave Qianqian, please say hello to the two masters." The girl came up and gave her a blessing.
"Serve these two gentlemen well!" Yang Shixiang told her, got up and went out.
