My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Chapter 214
No wonder the tea merchant Zhang is familiar with the medicinal materials merchant Wan.

The two of them immediately became friends when they arrived in the North.

After Xu Tianxin went into the restaurant and had a detailed chat, he found out that the two people were from the same hometown and were basically Huizhou merchants.

One is the head shopkeeper of the Huizhou Tea Industry in Beijing.

The other one is from Bozhou, Huizhou, the hometown of Hua Tuo and the hometown of medicinal materials.

When Xu Tianxin heard that he was from Bozhou, he decided not to miss the opportunity and planned to order more medicine.

Because there is a saying that has been passed down to modern times, called:
If the medicine doesn't go through Bozhou, it won't be perfect; if the grass doesn't go through Qiaocheng, it won't work.Qiaocheng is the ancient name of Bozhou.

It can be seen that Bozhou is also one of the four major medicinal towns in modern times.The other three are Yuzhou (Henan); Zhangshu (Jiangxi); Qizhou (Hebei).Their northern medicinal materials are purchased from Qizhou.

So I took this opportunity to get acquainted with the shopkeeper of Bozhou medicinal materials. Xu Tianxin ordered the must-have medicinal materials used in the hemorrhoid removal ointment. In addition, I also ordered some medicines for knife wounds, bone injuries, typhoid fever, etc. that were not rushed. Ordered some.Let Shopkeeper Wan bring it with the next batch of mutually traded goods.

I even ordered some Datura flowers and two other highly toxic medicinal herbs.

The price was negotiated while Xu Tianxin was pouring tea for Shopkeeper Wan.

Xu Tianxin basically didn't bargain much, because when he saw the price written by Shopkeeper Wan with his finger dipped in water, no matter what kind of medicinal material it was, and compared it with the high price he bought before, Xu Tianxin mentally calculated the cost of shipping, food, and accommodation along the way, and felt that there was nothing he could do. After counter-offering, Shopkeeper Wan should have given the price to a regular customer for many years.

Unable to negotiate the price, Xu Tianxin took the opportunity to ask Shopkeeper Wan to help order some flowers and plants.

There is a poem: peony flowers outside Xiaohuang City; morning glow blooms in ten miles and five miles; there are people in front of the flowers and behind them; every family grows flowers like mulberry and hemp.

This is a poem from the Qing Dynasty. Xu Tianxin couldn't tell Shopkeeper Wan about it, so when asked, she smiled and answered:

“Every household in your area grows flowers, don’t forget, I not only sell medicine, but also soap.

Even if you don’t want to know, you still need to know something about flowers and plants.

Especially the prime minister of flowers, Bai Shao, Wan Lao. Even if I am a little girl with little knowledge, I should have heard of the saying that the Ten Medicines and Nine Peony Roots are there.

Could you please help me and bring some for my next shipment?

I'm still not in a hurry, just bring me two loads of dried flowers when you come back. "

Shopkeeper Wan smiled and thought: Don't be so humble, you were just fooling old guys like us into drinking.You just look young, and if you chat for a while, you will realize that you are pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.You are particular about the age of the white peony root and the month of the white peony root you want, but you still don’t understand what’s going on inside?

Shopkeeper Wan, a herbal medicine dealer, told Xu Tianxin not to worry, and that it would be okay to help carry any local specialties. The problem was that he also had a favor and wanted Xu Tianxin to help with the sutra.

"I heard that there are several kinds of grass growing on your white mountain in the north, such as immortal grass, kidney essence grass, rejuvenation grass... I want to come over next time and collect some of these herbs. But although Baishan Mountain is as green as the Tianchi Lake, it is also steep, steep and wild. The forest is thousands of miles away. I wonder if Miss Xu knows any reliable mountain people. I can hire them to collect this kind of herbal medicine locally for me next year. As for the reward..."

Before Shopkeeper Wan could finish speaking, Xu Tianxin interrupted: "Wan Lao, can I still understand you? If the goods are good, not shoddy, and behaved properly, you will definitely give me the reward." You have to be kind.”

"Yes, yes, you see, you will understand as soon as I say it. Do you have any? I want the local mountain people in Baishan. I'm afraid the people around me don't know these kinds of grasses. Don't come here next year and confiscate how much they have in vain." Xu Tianxin thought of Lei Home nest.

As the two of them walked towards the private room, Xu Tianxin introduced him: "It's a village, and everything in the village is done by the whole village. Baishan is dangerous, and it requires a large number of people to be safe. If you do this, Wan Lao, you will be paid according to the weight. , let the villagers divide it among themselves."

"As for this matter, could you please Miss Xu send a message tomorrow?"

"That's necessary. I have to get you first. You still have to rush home to celebrate the New Year. I will send a message to Leijiawo tomorrow and ask the villager to come to discuss your remuneration. Then go to the government office to simply sign a Deed, let’s consider this matter done.”

At this time, the merchants who had finished drinking in the private room said unhappily: "You two went out and talked for an hour without finishing talking about it. How big of a deal is it? Tell us to scare us."

Not much, just a few thousand taels.Far worse than everyone here.

Basically more than half of the 6000 taels given by Zhenbei Army were spent.

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand and called Xu Tianxin, saying that Shopkeeper Wang, the silk merchant, wanted to ask Xu Tianxin about something.

Xu Tianxin asked hurriedly, what happened?
After listening to Shopkeeper Wang's question, the other party wanted to ask the local embroiderer about her embroidery techniques, so she quickly introduced her:

"We have a very unique local embroidery method called Mohe embroidery. I wonder if shopkeeper Bai has heard of it. Baishan Mohe, Heishui Mohe, Bohai country, yes, that is that nation. How to describe it, the embroidery is like The painting is still the kind that is painted with oil.

However, I don't know any embroiderers who use this kind of embroidery method. I heard that you can only meet such embroiderers when you go to places where tussahs are grown. I'll ask around for you later and keep an eye out.

Aren't you in a hurry? "

"There's no rush. I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Xu."

"You're welcome." Xu Tianxin kept this matter in his mind and thought: Yes, it would be great if the embroiderer who could find this kind of embroidery technique could be hired back to Erdaohe with a high salary.Then the women in their village learned crafts, produced ready-made goods, and then sold them to silk merchants to take to the south.

Before she could think of a rough idea, Lu Shang, who was helping to bring the Sishui stone stones, joked with Xu Tianxin: "I heard from shopkeeper Zhang that the girl wants to thank me for bringing two carts of stones? I don't want anything else. When the time comes, I will If I want your wine, just bring me a few jars and take it away. I asked your grandmother two days ago, and your grandmother said that they had run out of wine and would have to wait for a while. She also said that we would have enough wine after leaving the Northland. I just returned it. When I asked the waiter at the restaurant, he said he didn't deliver the goods at your home, and he didn't have it here either. I'm very sorry."

Lu Shang liked Xu's high-altitude wine very much. He said he liked the spicy taste when it went into his throat.

Xu Tianxin thought to herself: She was in the camp two days ago, and the still exploded, so she didn't dare to say that she had wine.

"That's easy to say. How many jars are there? I'll bring you a car when the time comes."

When Lu Shang mentioned it, many people also asked why they didn't think about opening shops in various places because of the ancestral brewing craftsmanship.

Xu Tianxin blushed a little, so she distilled it without even brewing it.He quickly went to the side and said: "Actually, it's just that we didn't have it in our dynasty. There was it in the past, called Alaji wine. Have you heard of it? There is a book called Yinshan Zhengyao which recorded it. There is also evidence in "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying that shochu is very The ancient method has been obtained since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. It should be the wine of foreign vassals."

At this time, Bai Muyan was a little confused from drinking. When Xu Tianxin spoke, he could no longer control the admiration in his eyes, causing Shopkeeper Zhang to look at him and then look at him again.
