Chapter 353 Trip to Foshan ([-])

As he spoke, he shook open the cloth bag, and there was indeed an Xiuchun knife inside, which was small in size, probably specially made for her. "Does it look good? It's a pity that I don't have a small flying fish suit around me. Wearing a flying fish suit with a knife on my shoulders and standing in front of the emperor is really beautiful!"

Huang Tianyu shook his head, is this girl also a uniform control?

"I heard that the emperor is a handsome and refined person..." Li Yongxun became nympho, "If only I could stand for him, even once."

"Then he fell in love with you and chose you to enter the palace..." Huang Tianyu thought of the pretty girls he met in the past, and there were quite a few who wanted to be court ladies, maids, and concubines for Chongzhen.It seems that bright pink girls are everywhere.

"The emperor wants to take a fancy to it, and the courtiers naturally have to obey." Li Yongxun's eyes blurred, "But as long as I can stand for the emperor, I will die without regret."

Huang Tianyu saw her nympho look, and thought it was both funny and cute.I had to laugh twice.

Immediately order people to hail the ship to Foshan and carry the luggage on board one by one.

Yang Shixiang went to the brothel he was familiar with last night, and stayed around until midnight before returning.Leaving early this morning, I found that the girl Qianqian who came to sing last night suddenly changed her attire and wanted to leave with them.He thought Shopkeeper Liu was tempted and took her in.Liu San didn't explain much, just said that Qianqian was going to Foshan to visit relatives, and they sent her all the way for a good deed.Yang Shixiang also specially reminded Liu San not to take in such a woman of unknown origin rashly, lest she be released as a pigeon.Liu San smiled wryly and said that he would be careful--I don't want to take her either.

Along the way, Liu San told Gao Di to keep a close eye on this Li Yongxun, to prevent her from getting out of ghosts.Li Yongxun has been honest since he got on the boat, and hasn't made any troubles.It is to pester Huang Tianyu in the cabin all day long, asking him to talk about what he has seen and heard from all over the world.Huang Tianyu used to be a military enthusiast and an otaku, where did he come from all kinds of knowledge, so he had to talk nonsense about the travel posts he saw when he was surfing the Internet.During the conversation, I also learned a little about this little girl, knowing that this girl is the only daughter in the family, her mother died early, and she was brought up by her father.This time she sneaked out to "anti-marriage" to express her solemn protest against her father for not seeking her opinion, but Huang Tianyu saw that she did not resist the resolute appearance of an arranged marriage at all, it seemed that she had found an excuse to come out Play.

After Li Yongxun slipped out of the house, he headed south all the way to Guangzhou.Because there is a distant relative in Foshan, who really can't get along and has someone to go to.And I heard that there are many novel and interesting things in Guangzhou.Encountered several dangerous situations on the way, relying on the badge she got from her father's colleagues, she managed to save herself from danger every time.She has been familiar with it since she was a child, and she knows a little about reconnaissance, hiding and all kinds of tricks in the world, and ordinary gangsters are not her opponents.

"Uncle, what is this made of?" Li Yongxun still couldn't forget the ketchup.Huang Tianyu had to be forced to take out the ketchup when eating. The ketchup that was intended to be spread on steamed buns was mixed into the rice for her to eat. She also invented ketchup with porridge, ketchup with pickles... and finally She also took a spoon and ate it directly-half of a bottle of ketchup was consumed in this way.This is the first time I have seen Huang Tianyu who is so fond of ketchup.

"It's ketchup. It's made from a fruit called a tomato."

"Tomatoes? They are grown in Guangzhou, right?"

Huang Tianyu vaguely agreed, he didn't want to say the word Lingao in front of this girl, so as not to miss it, this girl is going to Lingao again:

"It seems to have been introduced from a foreign place."

"Uncle, give this ketchup to Qianqian." The girl was not polite.Although Huang Tianyu was 28 years older, there had never been such a cute girl who surrounded him with an extremely intimate mouthful of "uncle", so he agreed immediately.When Liu San knew about it, she asked her to exchange it with "Ji Le San"—this thing has the effect of paralyzing the nerves. Maybe it can be used as a reference for the people in the Ministry of Health to develop plant-based anesthetics.

Except for the exchange of ketchup for bliss powder, nothing happened on the way. On the morning of the third day, the ship arrived at Foshan Wharf.A group of people disembarked.Yang Shixiang was quite familiar with this place, so he first brought his servants to deposit his luggage and went to the shop——Liu San and the others were deeply impressed by the inconvenience of traveling for ancient people, but the time was actually only after ten o'clock in the morning.In modern times, this is the time when we are just starting to do business. After finishing the work, we will go to open a room at night, and we can book a room in advance wherever we go.But in this time and space, if you go to the store to settle down quickly, maybe there will be no room at night.

Huang Tianyu hired two sedan chairs to send Li Yongxun away.This time she didn't make any more mysteries, and pointed out the place.When he arrived at the place, he looked like a wealthy family.Li Yongxun asked someone to come in to deliver a message on the door, and a few servants came out after a while to take her in, and Huang Tianyu was also welcomed into the living room to serve tea.A man who looked like a butler came out to socialize a few words and asked about the situation along the way.Huang Tianyu talked about the pre-set tone, it was nothing more than a chance encounter on the road, seeing her alone on the road, he was afraid it would be unsafe, so he dropped by to send her.

The manager bowed his hands to thank him, asked him where he was going, and then sent him out the door.

Huang Tianyu had just returned to the inn, and someone had already delivered six-color gifts.It was that family who brought it.Yang Shixiang looked very satisfied:

"This family is still very polite." He picked up the post, "here is another post, it seems that they think very much of this girl, and they want to invite us to dinner."

The post was a piece of plum red paper, and the inscription was "Lin Ming worships you".Judging from the name, it seems to be an ordinary merchant's family. Scholars would not choose such a simple name.Liu San guessed.

"Let's not eat the rice, let's just turn it down." Huang Tianyu was not willing to waste time on this, he didn't like this kind of entertainment, and wanted to invest in the investigation of Foshan's handicraft industry right away.

"Everyone has sent posts," Liu San said, "There must always be a full courtesy. Besides, we will come and go frequently when we go to Foshan in the future, so it is easy to have an acquaintance."

Yang Shixiang thinks so.The banquet was held on the second day. Today, because everything went well in the store, it was just after noon, so it was still early.So Liu San and Yang Shixiang made up their minds to visit the main goal of their visit: "Yang Run opens the church".Talking about cooperation is not likely to be successful once, and you have to go back and forth several times, so it is better to hurry up.

Immediately, he prepared four colors of presents from Lingao, which were nothing more than local products, called two sedan chairs, and went to the pharmacy.

Together with Hankou Town in Hubei, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Zhuxian Town in Henan, Foshan Town is known as the "Four Famous Towns".The prosperity of the market was comparable to that of Guangzhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties.A large number of porcelain and silk were exported here, and the industry and commerce were extremely developed.All [-] provinces in the world have guild halls here, which can be regarded as the thoroughfare of the world.

Liu San and his entourage walked on the street for more than half an hour, when they suddenly saw a seat archway in front of them, and there was a strong smell of medicinal materials coming from their nostrils, presumably they had arrived.

Sure enough, the sedan chair stopped, Gaodi came over to open the curtain of the sedan chair, Liu San came down and took a look, the pharmacy in front of him was quite magnificent!He has been to the original site of Beijing Tongrentang, but it is still a little inferior compared with this place.

The front of the store has seven open rooms, all of which are two-story buildings, the middle is the entrance passage, and the other five are warehouses. The upstairs and downstairs stores are all medicinal materials, and the smell is extremely strong.

Yang Shixiang led him through the gate and into the yard. In the bluestone courtyard, sedan chairs, carriages, waiting bearers, coachmen, and servants were bustling with each other, just like a busy city.There is also a mat shed on both sides of the Yong Road in the middle of the yard.There are things like pots on the inside, and there are people queuing up.About to serve tea.

At this moment, a fishy smell wafted from the nose, and I saw that the west end of the yard was separated from other places by stone strips, and a deer nursery was set up, where several sika deer were raised.Because it was already early summer and the weather was hot, the deer sat and lay under the awning without much energy.However, this also attracted many people to watch.

Liu San had only seen this method of attracting customers in books, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"The whole deer balls and velvet antlers that Yang Run opened are famous." Yang Shixiang said, "Our family's ancestors relied on this to prosper."

Quanlu Wan nourishes the kidneys and nourishes essence, nourishes Qi and nourishes vitality, and is a great tonic medicine. In a commercially developed place like Foshan, rich people gather together, and naturally there are many "widows with diseases". It is no wonder that the Yang family can make a fortune from this.

"My family originally lived in Liaodong and was engaged in medicinal materials business. The fourth generation ancestors moved to Foshan. That's why we can have this craft." Yang Shixiang talked about his family background. , these family friends probably also suffered, alas!"

The ancestors of the Yang family came from Liaodong, which was beyond Liu San's expectation.

"Why didn't Run Shitang do this?"

"Who eats it at Lingao's place?"

"Brother Shixiang, no one in Lingao does not mean that no one eats it in Qiongshan, nor does it mean that no one eats it in Leizhou and Lianzhou. With this recipe in your hand, there is actually a lot to do."

"Whole deer." Yang Shixiang said, "It's not easy to get this thing, and it must be a live deer, and it will be killed when it is time to combine medicine in autumn. It must be taken care of by someone on weekdays. It's not like my father didn't think about it back then. It costs too much to raise deer, and a small shop like ours cannot afford it.”

Stepping up the bluestone steps, I saw a large plaque with black and red characters hanging on the main hall. The name of the bookstore on it was "Yang Run Kaitang Deji", and there were two plaques with gold characters on a black background. "Follow the ancient concoction".On both sides of the front wall are honeycomb-style medicine cabinets and medicine buckets, and a counter stands horizontally in the middle of the shop.The paint was black and shiny.There is also a one-foot-high carved horizontal cabinet on the medicine cabinet, which houses a blue-and-white porcelain altar with delicate goods such as pills, powder, ointment, pills, and medicinal wine.There are many different sitting plaques hanging on it, with inscriptions such as "Working in Qingxiang", "Searching Mountains and Kicking the Sea", "Shiyin Hankang"... The layout is extremely rich and elegant.And Yang Shixiang's Runshitang is exactly the same as the sky and the same as the underground.Even in modern time and space, there is no such a grand Chinese medicine store.Liu San couldn't help but admire.
