Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 94

In this crowded restaurant, Gu Yu couldn't think of any good idea, and An Jinxuan just stood there in a daze.The two of them standing by the counter seemed to be in the way. Gu Yu had already been hit by the waiter's tray twice after standing there for a short while, so they couldn't stay any longer and bid farewell to Xu Shihe.

After walking more than ten meters, An Jinxuan turned back to look at the restaurant, as if he couldn't come up with an idea and was a little bit unwilling, he shook his head after all.

Gu Yu was also a little helpless, "It would be great if my uncle didn't start this tofu flower business at the beginning. If I get used to eating it like this, if it disappears for a while, it's really hard to say. Besides, his place is good. If I can spend two Wen Qian ate a bowl of bean curd, and I sat there and didn’t want to leave, but I didn’t expect that if I didn’t sell it, someone would come up and scold it, hey, it’s really hard to do business.”

An Jinxuan said: "It depends on how you do it. Look at how small this town is. If it's a big place, the boss has the final say on these things, but this is a town, and this restaurant can be regarded as the only one. Others are envious of him for making money. , if you don’t do this tofu flower business anymore, someone will definitely say behind your back that word of mouth is too important for a shop to grow, especially this kind of food place, and the business in this neighborhood is not easy to do.”

The two went to the medicine shop while talking.

After walking through several stores, I didn't see the shopkeeper. The young man was lazily propped up on the counter, ignoring Gu Yu and the others.

Gu Yu was a little bit reconciled, An Jinxuan didn't doubt Gu Yu, it's just that he was not sure about this matter when he saw Gu Yu, so he retreated a little and persuaded Gu Yu to go home.

Gu Yu was walking, looking at a pharmacy, a shiny signboard, which said Jishitang, seemed to be quite stylish, she thought she could give it a try.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that this medicine store was newly opened, and the medicine cabinets on the counter still exuded the smell of wood, mixed with the unique smell of the medicine shop, it was very clean and refreshing. With a head out, Gu Yu was startled.

It turned out to be a guy who was picking up medicine, and he stretched out his hand and asked Gu Yu if they were picking up medicine, Gu Yu shook his head, "Brother, please come down to the shopkeeper, we're here to sell scarce medicinal materials."

Speaking of which, although the guy was dubious, he really picked up the curtain to invite the shopkeeper.

After a while, an old man with a goatee came out behind the boy, "Who said there are any scarce medicinal materials?"

As soon as he came out and saw such two and a half grown children, he didn't like it very much. He looked arrogant and hooked his fingers, "What are you selling?"

Gu Yu felt a little uncomfortable, but held back, "We're here to sell Modisheng, you probably don't have this medicine."

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to block it, but Gu Yu's bamboo baskets were not placed on the counter. The shopkeeper motioned to the man, who ran out of the counter, and then took out two medicines. The shopkeeper looked at it and said, "It really is Modi pregnancy."

Gu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would close the deal as soon as possible, the shopkeeper really hated him.

Who knew that before Gu Yu could speak, the shopkeeper with the goatee said, "You also sell Mo Disheng? Do you know what the effect of this medicine is?"

Gu Yu really didn't know this, and was at a loss for words.Seeing this, An Jinxuan cupped his hands, "Please inform the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper smoothed his goatee, snorted softly, and didn't even look at them, "Mo Disheng is especially prosperous in summer, and it's also for people who go to heat to relieve summer heat. They boil it in water, dry it, grind it, and add sweet juice to make pills." , daily service..."

Seeing him shaking his head and chewing on words, Gu Yu was dizzy from his nonsense, but An Jinxuan could still understand, "Then this medicine is just what we need now, boil it with water or Add rock sugar and boil it into a paste, which just comes in handy.”

Gu Yu looked up at An Jinxuan at this time, admiring him very much. From Gu Yu's point of view, An Jinxuan seemed to have cracked the code.

The shopkeeper was very upset when he was interrupted, "What do you children know? Who in a rich family wants Mo Disheng to relieve the heat? Besides, this rock candy is also expensive. Can those poor ghosts in the village afford it?" ?”

Gu Yu didn't like this poor ghost very much. Before, she thought he just liked to show off, but she didn't know that he didn't look like a medical practitioner. She suppressed her anger and asked again, "Can't you just boil it with water? Everyone just buy it." It’s worth it, why bother to add rock sugar?”

The shopkeeper said bluntly: "Hmph, boil it with water, how can I make money!"

An Jinxuan pulled Gu Yu away, but Gu Yu was very angry, and stopped at the door, "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah! You're such a snob. Hmph, look at your shop! It’s about to collapse, no, you have no medical ethics, you should curse you for having a disease that you can’t look down on, and then lie down and wait for death!”

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, and he was about to come out to chase after him, but the counter was too high, so he had to go around. When he went out, An Jinxuan and Gu Yu had already run away, his face was purple with anger, and he vented his anger at the boy, "I really don't have the eyesight to see, what is such a kid doing here!"

An Jinxuan and Gu Yu ran into an alley, but when they turned around and saw no one was chasing them, they propped themselves up on their knees and laughed.

An Jinxuan panted heavily and laughed, "Your mouth is really poisonous, but the shopkeeper is so mean, he really can't be cured at that time, just wait for death!"

Seeing that An Jinxuan didn't blame her for being reckless, Gu Yu looked away, "Brother Jinxuan, anyway, this can be boiled to drive away the heat, so we can keep it for ourselves when the time comes, and we don't have to sell it to others."

An Jinxuan is still thinking about what happened just now, "Next time I will learn more from my second uncle, and when I meet again next time, I will beat him up, and we don't need to run away anymore, let him run away when he sees us , do you think it's okay?"

Of course, Gu Yu knew that An Jinxuan was joking, but she still felt relieved, thinking about the pious appearance of the shopkeeper of Ji Shi Tang just now, but he still called Ji Shi Tang, it was really a trick!
When Gu Yu and An Jinxuan had recovered their breath, they saw a group of people passing by carrying bowls and other things. This shady and cool stone alley was a bit narrow, and the bowls or jars that the aunts and ladies passed by, even There was also a pot carrying a quarrel, and the first reaction in Gu Yu's mind was - to serve porridge? !

Seeing Gu Yu's strange expression, An Jinxuan knew that her curiosity had returned, so he didn't say much, and pulled Gu Yu to follow those people.

Gu Yu was walking on the cobblestone road, seeing moss growing on the walls on both sides of the road, and the sun slanting in, she felt that the place was very quiet, but she denied the idea of ​​giving porridge together, Seeing these people talking and laughing, they look like people waiting for porridge.

The answer was soon revealed. Walking to the middle of the alley, there was a mud-built house, similar to ordinary houses in this alley, with a small door face, and there must be a long way to enter, and this door face, looking at the wooden door It has been mottled for some years, and if you take a look, you can see a dark counter inside. If it weren't for the plaque of Miao's Medical Hall hanging above it, Gu Yu would never believe that this is the medical hall.

At this time, there was a group of people gathered in front of the medical center, it was the group of aunts who filled the soup that was boiling in the pot with the things they brought, some drank it on the spot, while others carried it with them. go home.

Listening to their discussion, Gu Yu realized that this medical clinic would give everyone free fever-repelling medicines in this way from time to time, to make everyone feel better. Gu Yu immediately thought of the Jishitang just now, thinking about it was really ironic. Those snobbish people just named their names so kindly, and pretended to cheat people out of money, while the Miao's Medical Center in the back alley looked like an indifferent and detached hermit.

Just thinking about it, Gu Yu saw that "hermit". She seemed to be a bit older, and she couldn't tell. When this person reached that age, no matter whether he was sixty or seventy, he looked the same and wore ordinary clothes. The white cloth jacket and coarse cloth trousers, and the thousand-ply-soled cloth shoes are more like Zhuangzi’s attire. At this time, he smiled slightly and looked at the big guy. Some people chatted with him there after taking the medicine, and he also responded to them. The sentence is still inseparable from the old business, mostly to ask the family to pay attention to the elderly at home, the weather is too hot to be stuffy, and ask the family not to let the children play in cold water all day, and then go back and tell the head of the family not to Figure that this concoction should be drunk only when it is cold, and drink it when it is hot to force out the poisonous heat...

Seeing him talking and laughing, Gu Yu didn't show any airs at all, just like ordinary neighbors chatting, she and An Jinxuan looked at each other, and the two walked into the medical hall.

The guy who was distributing medicine at the door stopped them: "Hey, brother and girl, why did you forget to bring the bowl?"

Gu Yu shook his head, and said to the white bearded man, "Sir, we have brought you medicine."

The old man saw a boy carrying a bamboo basket pulling a little girl with big eyes to carry him around, and stood there for a long time, but now he heard the girl deliver medicine to him very skillfully, as if he was very old. Familiar with this place, he immediately felt a little happy, let them inside, let them sit, the light in the room was not very good, so he carried the bamboo basket to the door and looked at it in the sunlight.

Gu Yu and An Jinxuan sat there quietly, and saw the old gentleman squinting his eyes to look at the Modisheng in the sunlight. After a while, the old gentleman came in, "Little girl, are you here to sell medicine?"

Gu Yu was stunned by his question and didn't know what to say.

The old Mr. Miao thought she was a little embarrassed, so he said: "This Modisheng is really good. I will give you fifteen coins for the dried ones. If you have any more in the future, send them to me. Don't dry them yourself." Bring it here, this medicine is particular about it, it would be too bad if it was directly dried, how about five cents a catty for the raw ones you send in from now on?"

An Jinxuan looked at Gu Yu, and Gu Yu looked at the people outside the door. The medicine had already been dispensed, and a woman who came late did not receive the medicine, but came in with an empty bowl to thank him. Gu Yu thought, Shaking his head, "Old man, you don't need money to give these medicines to so many people. Although my family doesn't have much money, this thing is just easy to get. If we have it in the future, we will give it to you. Anyway, we will take it It can only be treated as grass, and we will not accept the money anymore."

Seeing what she said, Mr. Miao found it even more inconceivable that such a girl who looked like she was only ten years old had such insight, so he couldn't help but give Gu Yu a second look.Seeing Gu Yu's clothes, he knew that they were farmers. They must have had a hard time, so they refused to say anything.

One is refusing to accept the money, the other is insisting on giving, in the middle of a stalemate, suddenly seeing a fat figure swaying in, Gu Yu was shocked: "Uncle?!"
