Siheyuan: Give me incredible understanding but not knowledge

Chapter 4 Dongan Market



By the time Lin Jiajun arrived at Dong'an Market, it was almost noon!

The whole venue is roughly divided into three sections: East, Central and West.

The east road is home to the acrobatic arena and most of the food stalls, the middle road is the main part, full of street stalls and hanging goods stalls, and the west road has very few stalls and most of them are empty.

The middle road in the center of the venue, from north to south to the north end of the South Garden, is opened up as a main street, and the first, second, and third cross streets are opened from east to west.

Many houses were built in front of the main street. Later, the government took over many of the shops that were originally here and converted them into joint ventures.

The food stalls are still preserved, such as pies, pancakes, grilled cakes, jelly, cut cakes, fried cakes, fried cakes, coke rings, oil stew, sausages, millet porridge, barley porridge, etc., as well as Beijing's unique bean juice.

Lin Jiajun has never tried bean juice before. Before time travel, Lin Jiajun was from the south!

Although it has become somewhat assimilated over the years, this thing is the only thing that cannot be drunk.

And there is a reason why Lin Jiajun comes to Dong'an Market every time!

Every Chinese medicine practitioner has a Chinese medicine shop that has been passed down and cooperated with for generations, and the medicinal materials provided by those shops are also of the best quality!

Normally there won't be any mistakes. If there is a mistake, the cooperation will end there.

The Chinese medicine shop that Lao Lin's family cooperates with is located in Dong'an Market, Jishitang!

Lin Jiajun ate something first, and then walked into Jishi Hall!

When I arrived at Jishi Hall, I saw a master chef who was short and stooped, with white hair, a wrinkled face, and a pair of small round glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose!

He seemed a little unclear, and it took him a long time to say with a smile.

"Jiajun, are you giving your cat some medicine again?"

"Mr. Fang, why are you looking after the shop today? Where is Brother Fang?"

"He's busy! So I'm going to the shop today. You can see what medicine you want, and I'll go to the back and get it for you!"

Lin Jiajun handed over a medicine list, which was filled with dozens of medicinal materials!

In addition to some medicinal materials missing from the medicine cabinet in his room, there are also two prescriptions that he learned yesterday.

These two prescriptions are for bathing, and a large wooden barrel and a small wooden barrel need to be customized!

Originally, Lao Lin's family also had some, but they took them out for food during the Henan famine, and have not customized them since then. After all, few people use them!

Mr. Fang came out carrying more than ten small cloth bags, which contained the medicinal materials Lin Jiajun needed.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Brother Youfang to take you home. You can't take it back with your little arms and legs!"

"That's okay, I'll trouble Brother Fang then!"

"It's out of the way!"

"have you eaten?"

"After eating, let's eat some at Dong'an Market!"

Then Lin Jiajun also asked Mr. Fang!

"Mr. Fang, do you know anyone in Beijing who makes better medicinal bath tubs?"

"Why don't you ask Shi Shi Lei to make two of them?"

"I don't know what happened to Xiang Lei in the past two years. His family went back to Jiangxi, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to such trouble!"

"I went back to Jiangxi! This makes me think about it. After so many years, Xiang Lei's craftsmanship is good. It's a pity to go back!"

Xiang Lei was originally a royal craftsman. After liberation, he would also do some carpentry work for ordinary people. His craftsmanship was definitely the best, and this was recognized.

Even though he suddenly returned to Jiangxi two years ago, there were all kinds of messy news after that, and Lin Jiajun didn't know the inside story!

Mr. Fang said that he wanted to think about it, but his head dropped lower and lower, and he actually fell asleep!

Lin Jiajun also looked at Mr. Fang helplessly. Difficulties were inevitable as he got older.

What's more, Mr. Fang is over eighty, so it's normal to feel sleepy.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside.

Seeing Mr. Fang and Lin Jiajun, he immediately smiled and said.

"What, Jiajun wants to buy some medicinal materials? Is the old man asleep?"

"Brother Fang, the medicinal materials have been prepared. I just want to make two bathtubs. Then the old man fell asleep thinking about it."

"Oh, Xiang Lei has returned to Jiangxi, but you don't have any connections, so I'll find someone to come to your door in the next two days to deliver it to you!"

"Have you got the medicine?"

"Get it!"

Fang Zhi looked at the pile of medicinal materials in front of the old man, and then checked the medicine list that fell on the ground.

After confirming that it was correct, I started putting it on the tricycle at the door. After a while, all the medicinal materials were put on it!

Lin Jiajun also took out the money for medicinal materials from his pocket. Fang Zhi didn't say much. After accepting the money, he went to the counter and took out an account book!

This is the Lin family's account book, a separate one!

Opening the account book, Fang Zhi wrote down how much money he received at the back, and then crossed out the original record!

Then he wrote down the account in the main account book, and then walked towards the back and called out a young man in his early twenties!

This is Fang Zhi's son!

Fang Zhi's son saw that Lin Jiajun was not in high spirits, so he shouted reluctantly!

"Uncle Lin!"

"Fang Tie, there is no need for us to call each other this way, let's talk about our own affairs!"

"No, you are already older than him! He calls you Uncle Lin, which is right! Let's go, Jiajun, I will take you back!"

Lin Jiajun had no choice but to get on the tricycle and was taken back towards Tongluo Alley by Fang Zhi.
