Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 15 is a bit painful

   Didn't look at Rich Man Li's expression when he came back to eat wontons, Zhu Pingan and the others went to set up a stall after eating.

  After ordering from the morning stalls, the sun had risen to mid-air, and the market gradually became more crowded, with the sounds of hawking, calling for children, and laughing one after another. The peace has been going on for a long time, and the people are prosperous. This is just a small town and it is so lively. Zhu Ping'an is a little yearning for the prosperity of the county town and even the emperor's feet.

  Father Zhu unloaded the ox cart, took the ox aside and tied it, and put the hay basket he brought there for the ox to chew leisurely.

  Zhu Pingan and his elder brother Zhu Pingchuan helped to arrange the bamboo weaving and the mountain delicacies they brought separately. After a while, a simple street stall was set up. After the stall was set up, Zhu Pingan thought about his basket of honeysuckle flowers, and told his father that he was going to sell flowers.

Zhu's father looked at the chubby Zhu Pingan who was blushing excitedly, and couldn't say the words of shock. This stupid son really thought that wild flowers could be sold for money. Forget it, let him hit the wall. There will be no such absurd ideas, and boys should beat and beat more.

   "Dachuan, take your younger brother around. If you can't sell it, bring your younger brother back." After Zhu Shouyi made up his mind, he nodded in agreement, and let Zhu Pingchuan lead Zhu Pingan to be on the safe side.

  Zhu Ping'an could clearly see his father's disbelief, and thinking about what his mother Chen said jokingly in the morning, he thought that he must take a good look at your expressions when the money comes from the sale.

  After hearing what his father said, Zhu Pingchuan put the basket with honeysuckle on his back, took Zhu Pingan by the hand, and walked to the market.

Not long after Zhu Ping'an left, the black-bellied little **** and the fat rich man Li Datu also came out from the nearby snack bar. Rich man Li's face was sweaty, and the tip of his nose was red. unclear.

   "That's right, it's not good to waste it, it's right for Daddy to finish eating." The black-bellied little loli muttered as she walked on her short legs.

   Rich Man Li smiled accompaniment, nodded repeatedly, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

  When the black-bellied little loli passed Father Zhu's street stall, her big eyes lit up, and she paused to look around, but she didn't find the little **** she was looking for, so she was a little disappointed. How dare you call me an ugly girl, I must make you look good!

  Master Li didn't know what his spooky little daughter was thinking. When he saw his little daughter parked in front of Father Zhu's booth, he thought she had taken a fancy to bamboo weaving.

   "Shu'er told Daddy what he liked, and Daddy bought it for you." Rich man Li was rich and powerful, and he was willing to spend money on his daughter, not to mention that the bamboo weaving would not cost much.

  The black-bellied little loli was not very emotional, so she casually touched a few with her little finger.

   "Okay, buy, buy, buy." Rich man Li coaxed his little daughter with his stomach, and asked Father Zhu indifferently, "How much?"

Zhu's father saw that the little girl was referring to the small bamboo weaving that Zhu Ping'an asked himself to weave two days ago. It was a small bamboo flower basket, a small bamboo teapot and matching bamboo tubes. Made of two teacups. I didn't expect to be able to sell it for money, but after all, it was compiled, so I brought it together.

   "They're all small things that aren't worth a lot of money. Small flower baskets and teapots and teacups count as two sets, ten yuan." Father Zhu thought for a while, and said a little embarrassed.

Rich man Li didn't even think about it, so he took out 20 Wen from his sleeve purse and handed it to Zhu's father, then put the teapot and tea cups in the bamboo basket, and brought them to his daughter as if they were offering treasures. Li walked away.

  Father Zhu blushed and opened his mouth several times, but rich man Li went away and didn't hear him.

   Father Zhu looked at the back of rich man Li going away, and felt a little bit pained. I'm talking about two sets of ten words in total. Moreover, it's just the first time I've spoken, and I'm waiting for you to bargain. After all, the bamboo is cut in the mountains for free, and I just spent a little time on it. It takes more time to get two sets than to weave a bamboo basket by yourself.

  Although Father Zhu is dull, he is not pedantic. Anyway, the rich man Li is not short of money, so he should accept his favor.

  There were people coming and going on the street, Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Pingan 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 small shiny eyes.

  Tea house, no.

  Winehouses, neither.

   Rouge wool shop, not to mention.

  Luo Qi is fragrant, and the new voice is laughing in Liumo Huaqu, uh, this is a Goulan brothel, not to mention.

  Although the town is small, it has all kinds of internal organs, and there are quite a variety of shops, but what I'm looking for is a medicine hall, not these shops.

   "Brother, where are we going? I think they are right, no one will buy wild flowers, let alone dry them." Zhu Pingchuan wanted to persuade Zhu Pingan to go back.

   "I heard that the medicine hall will collect some tree roots, bark, etc. Maybe they will want it." Zhu Ping'an's fat paw tugged at the corner of his brother's clothes, and suggested, "Let's go to the medicine hall."

   "It's the medicinal materials they collected." Zhu Pingchuan corrected.

   "Maybe my wildflowers are also medicinal materials." Zhu Pingan blinked, thinking that I would not pick them if they were not medicinal materials.

   "Will wild flowers be medicinal materials?" Zhu Pingchuan picked up a honeysuckle flower in doubt and sniffed it, and said with certainty, "No."

   Even so, Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Pingan 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 were many shops on both sides of the street, the pharmacy was recognized by Zhu Pingan at a glance, and it was easy to identify the pharmacy, because this pharmacy was too conspicuous among the many shops, and several plaques were erected in front of it, which read With the words "Miaoshouhuichun", "Xuanhu Jishi" and so on.

This is a crowded section of the road. The pharmacy is on the north side of the street. The door of the pharmacy faces the south. There are two entrances to the pharmacy. The front of the pharmacy is a place to rest and process herbs. From the outside, the pharmacy is clean and orderly. .

  The name of the pharmacy is "Jimin Hall". There is a pair of wooden couplets hanging on both sides of the door of the pharmacy. On the left side is written "I hope people will be healthy", and on the right side is written "Where am I alone and poor". The couplets are extraordinary, and they really look like a hanging pot to help the world.

In the pharmacy, there is a gorgeously dressed woman holding a child and asking the old doctor about the disease. There is a maid standing next to her, and there is a row of exquisitely carved rosewood medicine cabinets in the back. Two young apprentices are watching the prescription. , The pharmacy is clean and well organized.

When Zhu Pingan came in, he just heard that the old Chinese doctor was diagnosed. He wrote the prescription and gave the doctor's advice to the woman, "The heat in the early autumn has not disappeared, and the body is invading. Madam, don't worry about the little son. Honeysuckle is three coins, wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, Zihuadiding and Zibeitiankuizi are one cent and two cents each, two cups of water, fry for eight minutes, add half a cup of ash-free wine, boil for two or three boils, and serve hot. Follow the same method and then decoct and drink, and the cover will sweat. , it will be fine within three days."

  The lady thanked her repeatedly, and the maid hurriedly memorized the doctor's order so that she could take care of the medicine when she went back.
