"Does it look good? It's a pity that there is no small flying fish suit around. Put on the flying fish suit and stand in front of the emperor. It's so beautiful!"
Huang Tianyu shook his head, is this girl also a uniform man?
"I heard that the emperor is a handsome and elegant man." Li Yonghuang began to be infatuated. "It would be great if I could stand up for him, even once."
"Then he fell in love with you. He chose you to enter the palace. Huang Tianyu thought of the popular girls he met in the past. There were quite a few who wanted to be palace maids, maids, and concubines for Chongzhen. It seems that there are pink girls everywhere.
"The emperor is interested in it. As a minister, you must obey." Li Yonghuang's eyes became blurred. "But as long as I can serve the emperor, I will die without regrets."
Huang Tianyu saw the nymphomaniac look on her face and thought it was both funny and cute. I had no choice but to laugh again.
Immediately, he ordered people to call the ship to Foshan and carry the luggage on board one by one.
Yang Shixiang went to a brothel he knew well last night and stayed until midnight before returning. They set out early this morning, and found that the girl Qianqian who came to sing last night suddenly changed her clothes and started to follow them.
She thought that shopkeeper Liu was interested in taking her in. Liu San didn't explain much, he just said that Qianqian was going to Foshan to visit her relatives, and they were doing good things to see her along. Yang Shixiang also specifically reminded Liu San not to take in such a woman of unknown origin rashly, lest he be cheated. Liu San smiled bitterly and said she would be careful - I don't want to take her with me.
Along the way, Liu San asked Gao Di to keep an eye on Li Yongtong to prevent her from being a ghost. Li Yongdong has been honest since he got on the ship. There was no fuss. He just pestered Huang Tianyu in the cabin all day long, asking him to talk about his experiences all over the world. Huang Tianyu used to be a military enthusiast and an otaku. He didn't know anything about the world, so he could only talk nonsense about the travel posts he saw when he was surfing the Internet. During the conversation, I also learned a little bit about this little girl. I learned that this girl is the only daughter in the family and her mother died young. He was raised by his father. Sneaking out this time to "anti-marriage" was also an expression of her solemn protest against her father for not asking for her opinion. However, Huang Tianyu didn't look like she was resolute in resisting an arranged marriage. She seemed to have found an excuse to come out. Play.
After Li Yonghuang slipped out of the house. Head all the way south to Guangzhou. Because there is a distant relative in Foshan who has to defect to him because he can no longer survive. And I heard that there are many new and interesting things in Guangzhou. She encountered several dangers along the way, but relying on the cards she inherited from her father's colleagues, she was able to avoid danger every time. Her ears and eyes have been exposed since she was a child, and she has some knowledge of detection, concealment and all kinds of rivers and lakes. Even the idle gangsters are no match for her.
"Uncle, what is this made of?" Li Yonghuang still couldn't forget ketchup. When eating, she had to force Huang Tianyu to take out the ketchup. The ketchup that was originally intended to be spread on the steamed buns was mixed into the rice for her to eat. She also knew that the ketchup was mixed with the porridge. Ketchup mixed with pickles, and in the end she just took a spoon to dig out a bottle of ketchup and consumed half of it. This is the first time I have seen Huang Tianyu, a character who is so fond of ketchup.
"This is ketchup. Made from a fruit called tomato."
"Tomatoes? They are grown in Guangzhou, right?"
Huang Tianyu agreed vaguely. He didn't want to say the word "Lingao" in front of the girl, lest it leak out that the girl was going to "Lingao" again:
"It seems that it was introduced from a foreign country."
"Uncle, please give this ketchup to Qianqian." The girl was not polite. Although Huang Tianyu is twenty-eight years older, there has never been such a cute girl surrounding him and saying "uncle" to each other with such intimacy. I agreed immediately. When Liu San found out, he asked her to exchange it for "Bliss Powder". This stuff has a numbing effect on the nerves, and maybe it can be used as a reference for the people in the Ministry of Health. Prescribe botanical anesthetics.
Except for the transaction of exchanging ketchup for ketchup, the journey was uneventful. On the morning of the third day, the ship arrived at the Foshan pier. The group got off the boat. Yang Shixiang is relatively familiar with this place. First, they took the servants and checked the luggage to the inn. Liu San and the others were deeply impressed by the inconvenience of traveling in ancient times. In fact, it was only around ten o'clock in the morning. In modern times, this is the time when you have just started to do things. After finishing the work, you can go to book a room in the evening. You can book a room in advance wherever you go. But if you don’t quickly check into a hotel in this time and space, you might not have a room for the night.
Huang Tianyu hired two sedan chairs to send Li Yonghuang away. This time she didn't make any fuss. Pointed out the place. When we arrived at the place, we saw that he was from a well-to-do family. Li Yongdong asked someone to come in to deliver a message. After a while, several maids came out and took her in. Huang Tianyu was also welcomed into the living room to serve tea. A man who looked like a butler came out to socialize for a few words and asked about the situation along the way. Huang Tianyu just talked about the pre-arranged tone. He just met her by chance while walking. Seeing that she was single on the road, he was afraid that she would be unsafe, so he dropped by the way.
The steward bowed his hands and thanked him, and then his subordinates sent him out. When Huang Tianyu returned to the inn, someone had already sent him a six-color gift. It was that family that sent it. Yang Shiyang looked very satisfied:
"This family is quite polite." He picked up the post and said, "Here is another post. It seems that they think highly of this girl and even invite us to dinner.
The post is a plum red piece of paper. The signature was "Best regards, Lin Ming". Judging from the name, it seems that it belongs to an ordinary merchant family. Scholars would not choose such a simple name. Liu San speculated.
"We won't eat the meal, just decline it." Huang Tianyu didn't want to waste time on this. He didn't like this kind of entertainment. I really want to invest in the investigation of Foshan's handicraft industry right away.
"Everyone has sent us messages," Liu San said. "We have to be polite. Besides, when we go to Foshan in the future, we have to come and go frequently. It's easier to do things if we have an acquaintance."
Yang Shixiang deeply agrees. The banquet was on the next day. Today, because everything went well with the store, it was just after noon, so it was still early. So they decided that Liu San and Yang Shixiang would first pay a visit to the main goal of their visit: "Yang Run's Opening Hall". Talking about cooperation is unlikely to be successful in the first time. It will have to go back and forth several times, so it is better to hurry up.
At present, I prepared four colors of gifts brought from Lingao, which are nothing more than local products. I called two sedan chairs and went to get the medicine.
Foshan Town, together with Hankou Town in Hubei, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Zhuxian Town in Henan, is known as one of the "Four Famous Towns." The prosperity of the market was not inferior to that of Guangzhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Porcelain and silk are exported in large quantities here, and industry and commerce are extremely developed. All eighteen provinces in the world have guild halls located here, which can be regarded as the thoroughfare of the world.
Liu San and his party walked on the street for more than half an hour, when they suddenly saw a seating archway in front of them, and a strong smell of medicinal herbs came from their noses. They thought they were here.
Sure enough, the sedan stopped. Gao Di came over to open the curtain. Liu San came down and took a look. The pharmacy in front of him was quite impressive! He has been to the original location of Tongrentang in Beijing, but it was still slightly inferior compared to this place.
The store has seven spacious rooms, all with two floors, with a main entrance in the middle, and the other five rooms are warehouses. The medicinal materials are stored upstairs and downstairs, and the smell is very strong.
Yang Shixiang led him through the gate and into the courtyard. In the bluestone courtyard, sedans, carriages and horses, waiting sedan bearers, coachmen, and servants were bustling, just like a busy city. There is also a mat shed set up on both sides of the road in the middle corner of the yard. There were pots and other things set up inside, and people were queuing up. About where tea is served.
At this time, a fishy smell came to my 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 flowered deer were raised. Because it was already early summer and the weather was hot, the deer was sitting and lying under the awning without energy. However, this also attracted many people to watch.
This is a way to attract customers. Liu San had only seen it in books, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Yang Run Kaitang's Quanluwan and Lusheng are famous." Yang Shixiang said, "Our ancestors relied on this."
Quanlu Wan can nourish the kidneys and essence, replenish qi and strengthen the vitality. It is a great tonic medicine. In a place like Foshan where business is flourishing, rich people gather together. Naturally, there are many people who are "little but sick". It is no wonder that the Yang family can be like this.
"My family originally lived in Liaodong and was in the medicinal material business. It was only after the fourth generation ancestor moved to Foshan that we could have this craft." Yang Shixiang said about his family background, "Originally, there were several family friends of ours there, but later the Liao Dynasty was corrupted. , these family friends probably all suffered, alas!"
The ancestors of the Yang family came from Liaodong, which was beyond Liu San's expectation.
"Why didn't Runshitang do this?"
"Who is eating it at that place in Lingao?"
"Brother Shixiang, no one eats it in Lingao. It doesn't mean that no one eats it in Qiongshan, it doesn't mean that no one eats it in Leizhou and Lianzhou. You have this recipe in your hand, and there is actually a lot to be done."
"The whole deer." Yang Shixiang said. "This thing is not easy to come by. It must be a live deer. It must be raised until the autumn when the medicine is mixed. Someone must take care of it on weekdays. It is not that my father never thought about it at the time. It is really too expensive to buy and raise deer. We are like this The small shop cannot support itself.”
Stepping up the bluestone steps, I saw a large black plaque with vermilion characters hanging on the main hall, the name of the local bookstore: "Yang Run's Kaitang Deji." Under it, there are two plaques with gold characters on a black background, one book: "Authentic medicinal materials." One book "Following the ancient times". On both sides of the main wall are honeycomb-style medicine cabinets and medicine hoppers, and there is a counter across the middle of the store. Painted black and shiny. There is also a one-foot-tall carved horizontal cabinet on the medicine cabinet, which houses a porcelain jar with blue flowers and white background that stores pills, powders, ointments, elixirs, medicinal wine and other fine goods. Above, there are many different plaques hanging, with words such as "It works to clear Xiang. Search the mountains and kick the sea. Han Kang is hidden in the city." The layout is extremely rich and elegant. It is the same as Yang Shixiang's Runshitang. Even in modern time and space, there is no such grand Chinese medicine store. Liu San couldn't help but admire. ! ~!
