Chapter 3440 Extra Story 20

The stall owner glanced at the people behind Zhou Man, and saw that they were imposing and they were all accompanied by guards, so he didn't force himself, muttered a few words and pulled Tian Ma Pa back.

Seeing that Zhou Man turned around and was about to leave, he couldn't bear to give up on the customer who had already asked the price, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "A drop of money is fine."

Zhou Man turned his head to look at him, glanced at the Gastrodia elata on the ground, turned around and left, and after taking two steps, he said again: "That's all, that's all, I'll give you three hundred coins."

Zhou Man raised his eyebrows and gave Bai Shan and the others a smug smile, then turned his head with a stern face, "Three hundred Wen is still a bit expensive..."

Stallholder: ...

"But forget it, meeting is fate, and it is also fate that we met in the southern border of Dajin, so I bought it."

Stall owner: I'm so angry, what should I do if I suddenly don't want to sell it?

Zhou Man had already counted the money and gave it to him, and asked, "Do you have any other medicinal materials here?"

Seeing him pointing at other herbs on the booth, Zhou Man shook his head, "Not these, they belong to your southern border alone, or are relatively rare in other places."

The stall owner asked, "Do you want worms?"

He said: "We have a lot of poisonous insects here. Poison, poison, poison and medicine are not separate. Sometimes poison can be medicine, and medicine can be poison, so insects are also medicine."

Zhou Man was very interested, so he left in no hurry, and squatted down to chat with him, "I know, the most common one is grasshopper. It is poisonous, but it can cure malaria."

The stall owner was taken aback, sat up slightly, and looked at Zhou Man in surprise, "Can grasshoppers cure malaria?"

"That's right, use grasshoppers from the Dragon Boat Festival, dry them in the shade, grind them into powder, and take them with wine on the day of the onset of the disease. If the disease is serious, eating it three times will almost heal you."

The stall owner had a look of disbelief, "Really?"

He looked Zhou Man up and down, frowned and said: "Lady, don't talk nonsense if you don't know medical skills. If someone who doesn't know how to listen to it, use it as a secret recipe and delay the treatment, it will kill people."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Man nodded and said, "Yes, the symptoms are different, and the medicines used are somewhat different, and most people still can't tell the difference between malaria and dysentery."

She brought the subject back, "Let's continue talking about the special bugs here," she said, "I heard that the snow mountains here don't melt all the year round, and there is a kind of bug called snow silkworm on it, which is non-toxic and cold in nature, and can be cured. Internal heat and thirst, detoxification, do you have it here?"

The stall owner was silent for a while and then said: "Lady, this is Annan City, the snow mountain is far away, I don't have it here."

"Although it's far away, it's in the Liaozi Department, and it's the largest city in the Liaozi Department. There should be such souvenirs, right?" Zhou Man wanted this thing a long time ago. Even if she couldn't see the living one, she would have the dead one. Satisfied, I heard that this thing tastes very good, very sweet.

The stall owner said seriously: "No."

Zhou Man regretted, "Is there a butterfly?"

She said: "I heard that drying in the shade can treat children with prolapse of the anus."

The stall owner was expressionless, "No."

Bai Shan held back his smile and pulled her up, "Let's go, let's look elsewhere."

The stall owner watched them leave and silently closed the stall.

Bai Shan led Zhou Man away, and asked with a smile, "Just because he overcharged the price, are you embarrassing him?"

"Of course not. I was really interested at first, but then I thought he might be more than just a drug stall owner."

Hearing this, Bai Shan looked back and saw that the stall owner's original place was empty.

He raised his eyebrows.

Yin Ju also said: "Maybe it's the same as we set up a street stall before. It's just curiosity, and it doesn't make a living from it."

Zhou Man: "But we didn't cheat anyone."

They set up street stalls, and the prices they open are all very reasonable.

Bai Erlang was not interested in strangers, he looked around and asked, "There doesn't seem to be any restaurants or restaurants around here, where should we go for dinner?"

Mingda: "Didn't you just eat rice in a bamboo tube? Let's go shopping and find something to eat."

Bai Erlang: "But I'm already hungry again."

Bai Shan sniffed, shook his head and said, "I don't smell food, there should be no food around here."

The guide was also a little confused, and after identifying the direction at last, he said: "We have to go back, and we can turn a corner at the other end to enter a street, where there are a lot of food."

Yin Yu frowned, "Going back?"

Zhou Man looked left and right, and finally pulled Mingda and walked to the left, "I know where it is."

A few people were taken aback, and hurriedly followed.

She led the people into a small alley, and the alleys were crisscrossed, except for the walls of the houses, but Zhou Man acted as if he had been here before, leading them to turn a few corners, around two alleys, and finally through an alley Go out, once out of the alleyway, the bustle will come...

This place is completely different from the other side. The stalls on both sides are full of food, and there are various restaurants and restaurants in the back.

The people here yelled in words they didn't understand. Some people saw Zhou Man and immediately waved to them enthusiastically, regardless of whether they could understand or not, they waved to them with a bright face anyway.

Bai Erlang was dumbfounded, "How did you know you came out?"

The two guides were also dumbfounded, how could they be more familiar than those who have been here before?

Zhou Man proudly said: "I'm smart!"

Bai Erlang didn't want to ask anymore, he looked around and took them to the most luxurious looking restaurant, "Eat something better."

You can never go wrong with a place like this.

Bai Shan and the others obeyed him, since money can be used here, then they are not short of money, and they still have several bolts of cloth and satin, which should be worth a lot of money.

After entering the restaurant, the shopkeeper took a look at them, and immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Do the guests want to eat or stay in the restaurant?"

Hearing that he spoke fluent official Chinese, Bai Shan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the shopkeeper a member of the Liaozi Department?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Yes, the guest officer thinks what the official said is right?"

Bai Shan nodded.

The shopkeeper invited them upstairs, and said: "The young one has been to the Central Plains before, so the official language is good."

He saw that the clothes of several people were all well-dressed, and the guards behind them were strong and capable, so he didn't dare to neglect, and directly invited them to sit down in the private room by the window on the second floor, and introduced the dishes to them personally, "We still have food here. The wine made from highland barley is somewhat different from the wine in the Central Plains, every guest who comes to our place will taste it, do you want to try it?”

Although none of them like drinking, Bai Shan still nodded and said, "Let's have a pot."

Come here, always have a taste, even if it is a long experience is good.

After ordering, Bai Shan left the shopkeeper's words, "Are there many Han people in Annan City?"

The shopkeeper said: "A lot."

He said with a smile: "In recent years, the emperor of Jin Dynasty has been kind and often rewarded us from the Liaozi Department. Our chief and the officials from Dajin have cooperated to build official roads. Once the official roads are opened, business exchanges are convenient, and more people come here." gone."

The shopkeeper was also very curious about them. While pouring tea for them, he picked up the teapot and asked with a smile, "The distinguished guests are also here for business? I haven't seen them before."

I saw many book friends asking about the newly published book in the comment area. It was the "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" essay competition that Zhuzi participated in at the starting point. It only had a chapter of more than 300 words. The title of the book was "Nian Cheng", which was not considered a new book. , but now that it’s said, let’s ask for a collection and recommendation ticket for it by the way
