Chapter 15 My balls hurt
Ignoring the expression on Rich Man Li’s face when he came back to eat wontons, Zhu Ping’an and the others went to set up a stall after finishing their meal.
When we came out of the morning stall, the sun was already high in the sky, and there were gradually more and more people in the market. The sounds of sellers, calls for children, and laughter came one after another. With the passage of time, there are many people, and this is just a small town that is so lively. Zhu Pingan yearns for the prosperity of the county seat and even the emperor's feet.
Father Zhu unloaded the cart, took the cattle to one side and tied them up, and put the basket of forage he brought there for the cattle to chew leisurely.
Zhu Pingan followed his brother Zhu Pingchuan to help separate the bamboo weavings and the delicacies and game he brought. After a while, a simple street stall was set up. After setting up the stall, Zhu Ping'an thought about his basket of honeysuckle and told his father that he was going to sell flowers.
Father Zhu looked at Zhu Ping'an, whose chubby face was flushed with excitement. He couldn't say any words of shock. This silly son really thought that wild flowers could be sold for money. Forget it, let him hit the wall. From now on This will prevent you from having such ridiculous ideas. Boys should be beaten more often.
"Dachuan, take your brother around. If you can't sell it, take your brother back." After Zhu Shouyi made up his mind, he nodded in agreement and let Zhu Pingchuan take Zhu Ping'an there just to be on the safe side.
Zhu Ping'an could clearly see his father's disbelief, and thinking about his mother Chen's joking words in the morning, he thought that he would take a good look at your expressions when the money comes from the sale.
After listening to his father's words, Zhu Pingchuan carried the basket of honeysuckle on his body and walked towards the market holding Zhu Ping'an's hand.
Not long after Zhu Pingan left, the scheming little Lolita and the fat rich man Li Datu also came out from the nearby snack bar. Rich Li had sweat on his face and the tip of his nose was red. He was obviously attracted by the scheming little Lolita. The wontons with added ingredients were a bit messy.
"That's right, waste is not good, and it is only right for daddy to finish eating." The scheming little loli muttered as she walked on her short legs.
Rich Man Li nodded with a smile on his face, the muscles on his face twitching constantly.
When the scheming little loli passed by Zhu's father's stall, her big eyes lit up, and she paused to take a look. She was a little disappointed when she didn't find the little bastard she was looking for. How dare you call me an ugly girl, I must make you look good!
Rich man Li didn’t know what his spooky little daughter was thinking. When he saw his little daughter parked in front of Father Zhu’s stall, he thought she had taken a fancy to some bamboo weaving.
"Shu'er, tell Daddy what you like, and Daddy will buy it for you." Rich man Li is very wealthy, and he is even more willing to spend money on his daughter, not to mention that this bamboo weaving doesn't cost much.
The scheming little loli was not in a very high mood, so she casually pointed a few times with her little finger.
"Okay, buy, buy, buy." Rich man Li coaxed his little daughter with a shy belly, and asked Zhu's father nonchalantly, "How much is it?"
Zhu's father saw the little girl pointing. All of them are small bamboo weavings that Zhu Ping'an asked him to make two days ago. They are a small flower basket made of bamboo, a small teapot made of bamboo and two matching teacups made of bamboo tubes. I didn’t expect to make money by selling it, but after all, it was compiled, so I brought it with me.
"They are all small gadgets and not worth much money. The small flower basket and teapot and teacup are two sets, ten cents." Father Zhu thought for a while and said a little embarrassedly.
Without thinking, Rich Man Li took out 20 cents from his sleeve money bag and handed it to Zhu's father. Then he put the teapot and teacup in the bamboo basket and brought it to his daughter like a treasure. Leading the scheming little loli away.
Father Zhu's face turned red and he opened his mouth several times, but Rich Man Li was far away and didn't hear him.
Father Zhu looked at the retreating figure of Rich Man Li, feeling a little achy. I said there were two sets of ten articles in total. Moreover, this is just the first time I have spoken, and I am waiting for you to bargain. After all, the bamboo is cut in the mountains for free, and it only takes a little time for me. It would take more time to just get two sets than to weave a bamboo basket yourself.
Although Father Zhu is dull, he is not pedantic. Anyway, Rich Man Li is not short of money, so he accepts the favor.
People were coming and going on the street. Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Ping'an to walk aimlessly on the street.
Of course, it’s just that Zhu Pingchuan has no purpose, but Zhu Pingan has a purpose, staring at the shops on the street with his shining eyes.
Tea house, no.
Not even a wine shop.
Rouge Velvet Shop, let alone.
Luo Qi is fragrant, and her new voice is smiling in Liu Mo Hua Qu. Well, this is Goulan brothel, let alone.
Although the town is small, it is well-equipped with all kinds of shops, but what I am looking for is a medicine hall, not these shops.
"Brother She, where are we going? I think they are right, no one will buy wild flowers, let alone do it." Zhu Pingchuan wanted to persuade Zhu Ping'an to go back.
"I heard that the medicine hall will collect some roots, bark and the like, maybe they will want it." Zhu Ping'an pulled his brother's clothes with his fat paws and suggested, "Let's go "Medicine Hall."
"They are the medicinal materials they collected." Zhu Pingchuan corrected.
"Maybe my wild flowers are also medicinal materials." Zhu Ping'an blinked, thinking that I would not pick them if they were medicinal materials.
"Can wild flowers be medicinal materials?" Zhu Pingchuan picked up a honeysuckle and sniffed it with doubt, and said firmly, "No."
Even so, Zhu Pingchuan still led Zhu Ping'an to a nearby medicine hall. Zhu Pingchuan had been to this medicine hall once or twice with Zhu's father, so he knew the way.
Although there are many shops on both sides of the street, Zhu Pingan recognized the drug store at a glance. He easily identified the drug store because it was too conspicuous among the many shops. It stood in front of the door. There are several plaques with words such as "Wonderful Hands Rejuvenate Spring" and "Hanging Pots to Help the World".
This is a densely populated road. The medicine shop is on the north side of the street. The door of the medicine shop faces the south. There are two entrances to the medicine shop. In front of it is the entrance of the medicine shop, which is a place for rest and processing of herbal medicines. From the outside, this The drug store is clean and orderly.
The name of the drug store is "Jimin Hall". There is a wooden couplet hanging on both sides of the drug store door. The left side reads "I hope people will stay healthy" and the right side reads "Where am I alone in poverty?" The couplet is of extraordinary magnanimity, and really looks like a hanging pot to help the world.
In the medicine shop, a gorgeously dressed woman is holding a child and asking an old Chinese doctor for advice. There is a maid standing next to her. There is a row of finely carved rosewood medicine cabinets behind, and two young apprentices are looking at them. Fang takes medicine. Overall, the drug store is clean and well-regulated.
When Zhu Ping'an came in, he happened to hear the old Chinese doctor diagnose the disease. While he was writing the prescription, he told the woman the doctor's advice, "The heat of early autumn has not gone away, and the body is invaded by dampness and heat. Madam, don't worry about the young master. Three coins of honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemums, dandelions, Each Take 1 qian and 2 cups of water, fry for 8 minutes, add half a cup of ash-free wine, boil for 2-3 minutes and then drink it hot, until the patient is covered with sweat, and it will be cured within three days." br>
The lady thanked her repeatedly, and the maid hurriedly remembered the doctor's instructions carefully so that she could go back to prepare the medicine and take care of him. (End of this chapter)
