Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 245 Surprise
After waking up the fat-stealing bird, Wen Shu stuffed the phoenix egg under its stomach, wanting it to help hatch it. After all, the belt was brought out, so it couldn't just be wasted like this.

Unexpectedly, Hong Ying seemed to be very repulsed by this matter, she just stuffed the egg under its belly, and it pushed the egg out with the tip of its wings.She stuffed it a few more times in disbelief, and it remained the same.

After coming down several times, Wen Shu finally fully understood that it really didn't want to "hatch the eggs", so he had no choice but to put the eggs into the storage basket.

Just when she was slightly disappointed in this trip to the mountains and seas, the Chu Guo family on the other side was immersed in joy.

Half an hour ago, she and her fourth niece came back from the tea shed, and they were dragged by their officials to look at the books in the study.Although she had handed over the housekeeping rights to the old lady and nephew when she came out this time, when the stewards of Bianjing heard that she was here, they all pretended to show her the account.

The official also asked her to take a look, saying to see if there was anything tricky.

These account books are still waiting to be used, and they have to be checked within three days, so except for necessary activities such as incense and eating, she spends the rest of the time in the study checking the accounts.

Looking at the accounts for two days, I am really dizzy.

It was another hour at the desk, but when he looked up this time, Chu Guo was surprised to find that his eyes were not sore, and his head was not so dizzy.

More importantly, she was able to see clearly the map of the green mountains hanging on the opposite wall!
The map of Qingshan was obtained by her father from a great Confucian, and later entered the storehouse with her as a dowry. She has always cherished and loved it.This time I came to Beijing and brought it specially. After finishing my account or writing every day, I would habitually stare at it for a while and relax my eyes.

But looking up today, she found that she could clearly see the small characters on the seal under the picture!
No wonder she was surprised, but it was ten years ago that the small print could be read clearly at such a distance.

At that time, she had just married into Chu's family, and she didn't have the head of the family yet, and she didn't need to turn on the lamp every night to watch the accounts.

But after a year later, the signboard of the head of the house was handed over to her, and piles of books were piled up in front of the case, she never left the candlelight again, her eyes became worse day by day, and gradually became blurred.

Later, after I became more comfortable, although I also paid attention to this aspect and tried to move the accounting work to the daytime, but the blurred vision failed to become clear again, and I could only control it so that it would not get worse.

But right now, the small characters that had been blurred for nearly ten years suddenly became clear before her eyes, how could she not be excited.

"Officer, official, have you ever moved this book case?" Although judging from the surrounding layout, it doesn't look like it has been moved, but Chu Guo still wanted to confirm it.

"No." Uncle Chu, who was engrossed in writing, stopped his hand holding the pen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I saw it again!" Mrs. Chu Guo excitedly pointed at the painting, "The small characters on it."

"Oh, is that so?" Uncle Chu was also very surprised. He knew that Chu Guo's eyes were worse than ordinary people's, and things that were farther away would be blurred.

"Sure enough, I didn't think too much about it. That cup of thirsty water is really useful." Over there, Mrs. Chu Guo started talking to himself.

Third Uncle Chu was confused, "Thirsty water, what thirsty water?"

"Miss Wen made the thirsty water in Wen's tea shop herself." Mrs. Chu Guo said excitedly about today's events, "I felt that my vision was much clearer, but I asked Si Niang, and she said that she didn't feel anything. I was thinking too much about myself.”

Mrs. Chu Guo said excitedly, but Third Uncle Chu was somewhat skeptical, "Is it really effective? No way, have you eaten anything else recently?"

After all, I only ate one cup of thirsty water, and the lady said that she had a feeling at that time, there is no such thing as quick effect in this world, unless it is fairy water.

"No, I can feel that thirsty water." Chu Guo said firmly.

Seeing that Uncle Chu still had doubts on his face, he said again: "The thirsty water is the signboard of the tea shop, it's called "Mingmu thirsty water", and it costs three hundred yuan a cup."

"Three hundred Wen!" Uncle Chu was also shocked.

He has traveled all over the world for more than ten years, and he only heard of one place where a cup of thirsty water can sell for hundreds of Wen, which is Fanlou in Bianjing.

But it is the first of the 72 main stores in Kyoto, and it is also the largest and most high-end restaurant in Guochao. This is the first time I have heard that a small teahouse dares to charge such a price.

Seeing the startled expression on his face, Chu Guo smiled again, "Scare me, I thought it was bold at first, but now it looks like it's worth the money."

No, it's not just value for money, it's value for money.

For three hundred words, her eyes, which had been blurred for a long time, became clear. It was a pleasant surprise.

"Since it's so effective, why didn't you drink a few more at that time?" Third Uncle Chu asked.

"Pretend I don't want to." Chu Guo glanced at him helplessly, "I asked the little lady to make another one, but she said that she would only sell one a day, and said that if I like it, I will send one to you tomorrow. House."

"It's strange that we only sell one cup a day." Uncle Chu nodded, wondering if this was Wen Shute's intentional way to attract people.

After all, even he was surprised and wanted to see it for himself and try it.

"It's strange, so, this thirsty water must have a magical effect."

While Chu Guo was talking, she was thinking in her heart that it was said that Mrs. Wen had met the Lord of the Land, and now that she can concoct the miraculously thirsty water, she must be blessed by the Lord of the Land.

In this way, as long as she is sincere and offers a lot of incense, it is very possible to have a child of her own in the future.

The more Chu Guo thought about it, the happier he became.

At the same time, in front of a medical shop on Bianhe Street, Mrs. Xiao, who was about to enter, suddenly grabbed the hand of the eldest son beside her, "Da Lang, Da Lang."

"What's wrong? Mother."

The old lady pointed her fingers tremblingly and said, "Is there someone walking around here?" She kept moving her fingers, from left to right.

"Mom, you can see it!" Xiao Kaiyuan was surprised and delighted.

The old lady nodded and shook her head again, "No, I can only see some blurred shadows, I can't see people clearly, and I can't see the color of the fabric."

"That's a good thing." Xiao Kaiyuan comforted: "This proves that your eyes have improved, Mom."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Erlang looked up at the medical center, and said happily: "It seems that Doctor Wang's medical skills are good, and my mother has improved so much after taking only three medicines. If you want to take a few more medicines, you will be all right alright."

The old lady narrowed her eyes with a smile when she heard the words, "That's a good thing, my mother will be able to watch Shiro and Goro get married by then."

"Sure, let's go, let's go in quickly and let the doctor take another look."

The four brothers happily helped the old lady inside.

At this time, there were already two people in line in front of them. They were looking at a woman in her early fifties, who also suffered from eye disease. Her symptoms were similar to those of the old lady. They had encountered it when they came last time.

At this time, the old woman was asking the doctor sitting in the hall, "Doctor, I have taken the medicine for five times, but my eyes have not improved at all. After the sun sets for the past two days, I still feel acupuncture. Why?"

"The feeling of acupuncture?" Dr. Wang frowned slightly, and asked, "How long does the pain last?"

"It's not too long, about half a quarter of an hour."

Doctor Wang paused his pulse-feeling hand, turned to look at the eyes of the old woman, and then sighed: "Your eye disease has been dragging on for too long, if you come to see it at the beginning, you will be cured with just three or two doses of medicine. It has been a chronic illness for seven or eight years, and the chances of being cured are not high. It was only after seeing you asking for help several times that I tried to prescribe a prescription, and now it seems that this prescription "

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but the old woman understood and asked eagerly: "Is there no other way?"

Dr. Wang sighed and shook his head, "I have no other choice, why don't mom go to another house to have a look."

When the old woman heard this, her face immediately collapsed.

somewhere else
She had considered and calculated at home for a long time that she could come to the Wang's Medical Center, and it was only because of the cheap consultation fee and the doctor's medical skills.

Now let her go to find another medical center, let alone whether it can be cured, even if it can be cured, the medical expenses are definitely not affordable for them.

The old woman's face changed for a while, and finally she stood up dejectedly, and with the support of her son, she walked out of the medical hall.

Forget it, after all these years, it's time to give up.

　Reading Tips: What is a genuine store?
　　After reading the article for so long, I believe everyone has also discovered that the word "Zhengdian" has appeared many times in the article.So what exactly is the store?

　　Some friends must have guessed it based on the context, the restaurant chant.That's right, the main store mentioned in the article is indeed a restaurant.

　　However, there are two types of restaurants in the Song Dynasty, "Zhengdian" and "Jiaodian".

　　In the Song Dynasty, due to the state-run liquor, the folks could not make and sell liquor privately. However, the country is so big that if the official wineries want to supply the whole country with liquor, it is obviously stretched and troublesome.

　　Therefore, the country adopts the so-called "discussion wine system", that is, contract wineries to wealthy businessmen, then sell distiller's yeast to the businessmen, and let the businessmen brew their own wine. The restaurants opened by these powerful businessmen are the so-called authentic stores.

　　They have the right to make wine independently, and the foot shop is a small shop without the right to make wine.If they want to sell alcohol, they can only wholesale it from those "authentic" restaurants.

　　That is to say, the main store is a wine wholesaler with high specifications and a full range of drinks.The foot shop is a consignment point for wine, small in scale and low in grade, and it is more convenient than that.
