Chapter 16: What a gentle and elegant gentleman
A series of prompts made Lin Shuyue's head buzz.
If you count carefully, there are about a dozen check-in locations in the county.
Lin Shuyue looked calm and composed. She lifted the curtain and looked at the ancient county town with curiosity.
Although Qinghe Town is large, it is indeed dwarfed by the county town.
The streets in the county town are clean and tidy, and there are more roadside stalls than in the town.
The people walking on the street were also dressed neatly and cleanly.
From time to time, you can see wealthy young men in silk clothes passing by with their servants.
After Lin An left his mule cart at the carriage shop, he found a friendly-looking clerk, gave him a few copper coins and asked him about the situation in the county town.
According to the waiter, the area in the south of the city is a wealthy area with some large restaurants, pharmacies, bakery shops and money houses.
There are several private schools in the east of the city, and those who live there are all scholars.
The north of the city is more diverse, with restaurants, pharmacies, brothels, gambling houses, etc.
The west of the city is home to some small shops frequented by common people, such as grocery stores, steamed bun shops, and the like. Common people from the county town live in that area.
Lin Shuyue took Lin An to the west of the city and found a steamed bun shop.
What’s strange is that this bun shop also sells noodle soup.
The shop is not big, there are only three tables inside the shop and five tables outside the shop.
It was breakfast time and the three tables outside were all full of people.
The father and daughter ordered two bowls of meat soup noodles, and Lin An pulled Lin Shuyue to sit inside.
Lin Shuyue did not agree and walked straight to an empty table outside. She raised her hand to signal Lin An to sit down and not talk.
There were three middle-aged men sitting at the table next to them, eating noodles and chatting.
"The three-year term of office of our county parents is about to end. I wonder what the new parents will think when the time comes.
You must be like today’s parents, otherwise our lives will be difficult..."
The speaker was a short, fat, middle-aged man.
The man next to him hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "What's the point for us little commoners to think so much? We will know when the time comes."
The short and fat man pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Alas, Lian Laoliu from the alley next door went to Jishiditang to cause trouble again yesterday afternoon, and he almost had his leg broken..."
Another tall and thin man spoke in a low voice.
The short and fat man sighed: "Tsk, what is Lian Laoliu competing with? Just to get a bargain,
He took the prescription from Jishidiang, secretly compared the ingredients, and ran to Dongshan to dig herbs.
As a result, he picked up the wrong medicine and his mother died from it. Can he blame the pharmacy for this?
He goes to people's houses to make trouble every day. Even a clay man has a temper."
"It was only because the owner of Jishitang was kindhearted that he did not send him to the government office because he had lost his relatives.
As a result, fewer people go to Jishidiang for medical treatment. "
"Speaking of the owner of Jishiditang, there is nothing to say..."
Lin An and Lin Shuyue heard the gossip from the next table, looked at each other, and made a decision.
After eating the noodles, the two went straight to Jishidiang in the south of the city.
The drug stores in the south of the city are all concentrated on one street. When you arrive at the entrance of Jishiditang,
There were only a few patients in the shop waiting for the doctor to feel their pulse.
Lin An carried a backpack and walked into the medicine shop with Lin Shuyue.
A still somewhat immature medicine boy stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to get medicine or see a doctor? If you want to see a doctor, please wait a moment."
Lin An waved his hand and whispered to the smiling medicine boy, "I found something good. Is your boss here?"
After saying this, he took down the backpack behind him, opened the lid, and showed it to the medicine boy.
The medicine boy was surprised when he saw the things in the backpack.
Then he politely asked Lin An and the other man to wait for a moment while he went to ask the shopkeeper to come over.
After saying that, he walked into the pharmacy, lifted a curtain, and disappeared in a flash.
Lin Shuyue guessed that behind the curtain was the backyard of the pharmacy.
Not long after, the medicine boy came out from the backyard, and excitedly asked Lin An and his daughter to follow him to the backyard: "You two are lucky, our boss happened to be back from the capital today."
Passing through the curtain, they came to an empty yard with some flowers and plants.
Under a peach tree in the corner of the yard, there is a stone round table and three stools.
At this time, sitting on the stool with his back to them was a young man with an upright figure, wearing a long robe with auspicious cloud patterns in the color of Yunmen, and his black hair was tied up with just a jade hairpin.
Next to the man stood a middle-aged man wearing a plain robe and with a short beard.
The middle-aged man bent slightly and said something to the young man with a respectful look.
Perhaps they heard some noise behind them, and they both turned around to look.
The young man was in his early twenties, with a handsome face, a high nose bridge, bright and gentle eyes, and lips of moderate thickness with a hint of smile.
"What a gentle and elegant gentleman."
Lin Shuyue took a look and lowered her head, sighing secretly in her heart.
The medicine boy stepped forward and saluted the young man, then introduced him to Lin An and his daughter, "This is our boss. You can show him the things."
Lin An walked up to the man with the backpack and bowed. The young man quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Lin An moved away slightly, bent down, took out a cloth bag from his backpack, opened the bag and handed it to the man.
The man took it and when he saw the hundred-year-old ginseng, his expression suddenly became a little excited.
He quickly called the middle-aged man beside him: "Uncle Liu, take a look, how about this ginseng?"
Uncle Liu took the ginseng and examined it carefully: "The root of this ginseng is full of flesh, the color is uniform, and the quality is excellent.
And take a closer look at the number of reed bowls on this ginseng, this is at least a hundred-year-old ginseng. Young Master..." Uncle Liu became more and more excited as he spoke.
When the young man heard Uncle Liu's words, a smile blossomed on his gentle face.
Then he turned around and said to Lin An in a gentle voice: "Uncle, this hundred-year-old ginseng is of excellent quality. How about giving it to you for one thousand taels of silver?"
When Lin An heard the price, his hands holding the backpack began to tremble. He tried hard to suppress the joy in his heart.
He pretended to be calm and replied, "This price is suitable. Thank you very much, boss."
The young man asked Uncle Liu to go to the accounting office to get the money.
At this time, Lin Shuyue, who had been quietly standing behind Lin An, stepped forward and saluted.
He said to Uncle Liu, "I hope Manager Liu is well. Can you divide this one thousand taels of silver into eight hundred taels of silver notes and two hundred taels of cash?"
Shopkeeper Liu looked back at his boss, and the young man nodded slightly.
When Manager Liu went to the accounting office, the man's eyes passed over Lin Shuyue, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle, and this little girl, please sit down and talk. My last name is Xia, so don't be shy."
The young man greeted Lin An and his daughter gently, but they quickly shook their heads to indicate that they didn't need it.
Seeing that the two were really unwilling to sit down, Mr. Xia gave up.
Then he started chatting quietly with Lin An, asking him where they were from and what they did for a living.
Before coming to the county town, Lin Shuyue told her father to speak less when selling ginseng and not to reveal too much information about her family.
So Lin An just said that he was a hunter in the mountains and accidentally found this century-old ginseng in the mountains.
