Rise From the Humble

Without looking at Rich Man Li's expression 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 kept coming and going. 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 have to take a good look at your expressions when the money comes from the sale.

After listening to his father's words, Zhu Pingchuan slung the basket of honeysuckle on his back and walked towards the market holding Zhu Ping'an's hand.

Not long after Zhu Ping'an left, the scheming little Lolita and the fat rich man Li Datu also came out from the nearby snack bar. Rich Man Li had sweat on his face and the tip of his nose was red. He was obviously hurt by the wontons that the scheming little Lolita added. Unclear.

"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 shyly and asked Zhu's father nonchalantly, "How much is it?"

When Zhu's father saw the little girl pointing at a few things, they were all small bamboo weavings that Zhu Ping'an had asked him to make two days ago. They were a small flower basket made of bamboo, as well as a small teapot made of bamboo and a matching bamboo tube. Two teacups made. 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 gadgets and not worth much money. The small flower basket and teapot and teacup are two sets, ten cents." Father Zhu thought for a moment and said awkwardly.

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, brought it to his daughter like a treasure, and led the scheming little Luo Li walked 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 pained in his stomach. I'm talking about two sets of ten coins 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, and Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Ping'an to walk aimlessly on the street.

Of course, it was just that Zhu Pingchuan had no purpose, but Zhu Pingan had a purpose, staring at the shops on the street with his shining eyes.

Tea house, no.

Neither is a wine shop.

Rouge Velvet Shop, even less so.

Luo Qi is fragrant, and the new voice is smiling in Liumo Huaqu. Well, this is a Goulan brothel, let alone a brothel.

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 tree roots, bark and the like. Maybe they will want it." Zhu Pingan pulled his brother's clothes with his fat paw and suggested, "Let's go to the medicine hall."

"Those are the medicinal materials they collected." Zhu Pingchuan corrected.

"Maybe my wild flowers are also medicinal materials." Zhu Ping'an blinked, thinking that I wouldn't pick them if they were medicinal materials.

"Can wild flowers be medicinal materials?" Zhu Pingchuan doubtfully picked up a honeysuckle and sniffed it before confirming, "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 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 drugstore is "Jimintang". There is a pair of wooden couplets hanging on both sides of the door of the drugstore. 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.
