A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next day.

"Laifu, Laiwang, come with me for a walk."

"Yes, Master."

Lu Cheng went back to his room, put on his clothes, and hung a jade pendant around his waist. Then he led the two servants out of the door.

Lu Cheng's two-entry yard usually needs someone to clean, chop wood and fetch water, buy supplies, etc., so naturally there are a few servants and a housekeeper.

Among these servants, Laifu and Laiwang are the long-term followers of Lu Cheng, and he basically takes them with him every time he goes out.

After walking a short distance out of the alley, he came to the main road of Yuncheng County.

Yuncheng County is not very big. The two main roads, east-west and north-south, divide the entire city into four areas. The two urban areas in the north are mainly inhabited by wealthy families, landlords, government officials, etc. in the city, while the southern urban area is mainly inhabited by ordinary people.

The Huichuntang Pharmacy of the Lu family is located on the north-south avenue in the city, not far from the crossroads in the city center, with the main gate facing east, and the geographical location is quite good.

Lu Cheng first brought two servants to his own medicine shop, and saw the shopkeeper Liu sitting aside, taking the pulse of a patient. The shopkeeper of the medicine shop naturally has to know some medical skills. Although the level of the shopkeeper Liu can only be regarded as average, it is still pretty good in the small Yuncheng County.

In addition, there are some prepared cold medicines, wind-cold medicines, gold wound medicines and other medicines for sale in the medicine shop, so the business is pretty good.

When the two assistants saw Lu Cheng coming, they stood up and saluted: "Hello, young master."

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll take a look."

One of the two assistants went to grind the medicine, and the other went to prepare the medicine, each busy with their own work.

Lu Cheng took a look at the side. The assistant was preparing the finished cold medicine. If you have a cold, you only need to buy a few packs, go back and boil it yourself, and you will basically be cured.

"Afu, what are the finished medicines on sale in our shop? Take them out and show me."

"Yes, young master. This is the cold medicine in our shop, this is the hemostatic gold medicine, this is the swelling and pain relief ointment, this is..."

Lu Cheng looked at them one by one. These prescriptions are pretty good, and they have their own level. There is no problem in dealing with common diseases.

Then, Lu Cheng checked the reserve of medicinal materials in the shop, the newly collected medicinal materials, etc.

At this time, Manager Liu also sent away the patients and came to Lu Cheng: "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Talk to the drug dealers who supply the goods recently and ask them to collect more Cuscuta, Cistanche, Morinda, Lycium, Epimedium, etc. If there are good velvet antlers, collect some as well. I am going to launch a new finished medicine for sale."

"No problem. Master, do you want to make a finished medicine for strengthening yang and replenishing deficiency?"

"Yes, you guys go ahead."

"Master, take care."

After leaving his own medicine shop, Lu Cheng took two servants and went to the market to have a look and understand the current prices.

Nowadays, the daily income of ordinary people is about dozens to 100 coins. If you invite three or two friends to go to the restaurant to order a few small dishes and drink two cups, it will be about 500 coins.

In the original play, Yun Ge'er, who carried a basket to sell pears, could earn thirty or fifty coins a day, enough to support him and his old father.

Wu Dalang's sesame cake business should be better, otherwise it would not be able to support Wu Song, a strong man who practiced martial arts.

After buying a few pancakes on the street, Lu Cheng took two servants into a restaurant and ordered a fried fish, a roast chicken, a plate of mutton, and two vegetarian dishes. Lu Cheng sat by the window and ate.

While eating, Lu Cheng also listened to the people in the restaurant talking about various news. Some were talking about how the two heads of the county government had dealt with a few more hooligans, some were talking about what kind of people appeared in a nearby county, and some were talking about which daughter-in-law couldn't stand the loneliness and hung out with others, etc.

Gossip is human nature, and it has been like this since ancient times.

At this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly heard a table of guests not far away talking about something: "Have you heard about it? A group of bandits have recently gathered on the Liangshan Marsh, and they are making a lot of trouble. The leader seems to be Wang Lun, a scholar in white."

"Hey, I heard about it too. It is said that there are hundreds of bandits on Liangshan now, and three leaders. The local county government and Dongping Prefecture have sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times, but they have not been able to attack Liangshan."

"Liangshan has 800 miles of water, and it is not so easy to attack."

"The world is getting more and more chaotic, and there are strong men who cut off the road everywhere."

"That's right, there are big insects in the mountains and forests

. I heard that Yangjia Town, 20 to 30 miles to the north, has been plagued by big insects recently, and has eaten seven or eight people.

"These days, we'd better stay out of the house."

"Isn't Lei Dutou of our county government known as the Flying Tiger? I just don't know how he compares to the real big insect."

"In my opinion, he's far from it."

"Keep your voices down, don't let anyone hear you."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can't see the tiger, but the Flying Tiger can come to our door at any time."

As they were talking, they heard the voice of the waiter from below: "Two Dutou, you're here, please come in quickly. "

When the people upstairs heard this, they all fell silent and dared not talk about the two captains.

After a while, two men in the uniforms of the yamen came upstairs. The first one was tall and strong, with a face like a red date, a long beard down to his chest, and bright eyes. He looked like Guan Yu in the novels and legends. He was the captain of the cavalry of Yuncheng County, Zhu Tong, the man with beautiful beard.

The man behind him had a dark red face, a strong back and strong arms, and was the captain of the infantry of the county. Head, Winged Tiger Lei Heng.

Lu Cheng just glanced and estimated that the handsome beard Zhu Tong was about 2.05 meters tall.

It was recorded in the original book that Zhu Tong was 8.45 meters tall.

Judging from Zhu Tong's height, this 8.45 meters should be based on the standard of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and 1 foot is about 24 centimeters in later generations.

It is said that when the author of Water Margin created this story, he borrowed many characters from the Three Kingdoms and also used the characters of the Three Kingdoms period. .

Perhaps, there is such a thing.

One jin in the Eastern Han Dynasty is about 224 grams in later generations, and 500 jin is equivalent to 224 jin, 112 kilograms in later generations.

Some heavyweight weightlifting champions in later generations can lift more than 200 kilograms.

If calculated in this way, Wu Song can lift a "500 jin" stone, which is also within the normal range.

But Wu Song in the original book can throw the 500 jin stone more than ten feet high in the air, and then catch it and land it steadily on the ground, which is definitely beyond the scope of normal humans.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng can't wait to fight with the masters of this world and test his own level.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng looked at Zhu Tong and Lei Heng who had just come up from the opposite side, stood up, smiled and arched his hands: "Two captains, it's rare to meet in this restaurant today, are you willing to sit down and have a drink together? "

The two looked at Lu Cheng, and Lei Heng agreed directly: "So you are the young master of Huichun Hall. Since someone is inviting us, we brothers will certainly not be polite."

"You two captains, please. Waiter, add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, make a few more side dishes, and bring two jars of good wine."

"Okay, Master Lu, please wait."

"You two captains, I like to wield guns and sticks at home. I have heard that you two captains are well-known figures in our Yuncheng County. I have always wanted to make friends, but I have never had the opportunity. I happened to meet you today, so I will toast you first."

"Master Lu is polite, please."

Although Lu Cheng's family only has a medicine shop, which is not outstanding among the wealthy families in the entire Yuncheng County, these yamen runners and gangsters are bound to fight and kill, get injured and bleed. They are still willing to make friends with doctors and those who run clinics and medicine shops.
