I Open a General Store in Early Tang

Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...

Chapter 433 Ancient Medical Book!!!

“Huh~”

Zhuang Zhou let out a long breath.

Finally, Sister Qian was calmed down.

After taking the clothes and saying goodbye to Sister Qian, Zhuang Zhou left the backyard without looking back.

Walking out of the shop, Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath of fresh air and suddenly thought of something.

yes!

Zhuangji Grocery Store, can you put some new products on the shelves?

It seems that adult product stores can add new things!

He galloped all the way back to the manor.

As soon as I parked the car in front of the mansion, Niu Dali rushed over after hearing the sound:

"Boss Zhuang, the owner of Wangji Trading Company sent someone to look for you earlier."

Isn’t the shopkeeper of Wangji Trading Company Wang Zhigui?

Speaking of which, this was the noble man that Zhuang Zhou met when he first arrived in Chang'an City!

"Did you tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?"

Niu Dali said, "Yes, Shopkeeper Wang sent a visiting card saying there will be a singing and selling show in Chang'an City tonight. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Zhuang Zhou didn't know what a singing and selling show was, and only found out after asking.

It turns out that this singing and selling fair is where merchants in Kyoto would bring out their treasures and sell them.

In the end, the one who bids the best price wins!

It is somewhat similar to auctions in later generations.

However, you can exchange items for other items.

It’s a kind of resource sharing.

This is interesting!

You can definitely find a lot of good things at this kind of singing and selling fair.

Zhuang Zhou said without thinking:

"Go prepare the carriage, and then go to the grocery store and tell the owner to prepare the money. I'm going to a singing show tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, can I go with you?"

"Of course, get busy!"

"Dele!"

Now Niu Dali’s favorite thing is to go out with Zhuang Zhou.

Zhuang Zhou gave some instructions and went into the mansion.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw Hongyu leading several maids doing needlework.

Women in ancient times could not show their faces in public as freely as women in later generations.

Most of the time, I spend at home.

It's quite miserable.

At least for now, Zhuang Zhou cannot change these worldly things.

Zhuang Zhou walked over and looked at the embroidery sewn by Hongyu's hands, and couldn't help but admire it.

This craftsmanship is really exquisite.

When Hongyu and the others saw Zhuang Zhou coming, they quickly stood up and bowed:

"The Master is back!"

Zhuang Zhou raised his hand to signal them to sit down and asked:

"Hongyu, besides needlework, what else do you usually do?"

Hongyu thought for a moment and replied:

"The maids can also learn some music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and they also know some poetry and songs."

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but sigh when he heard this:

"I'm really sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. I'm afraid you're almost suffocating staying in this mansion, right?"

Hongyu quickly shook her head and said:

"No, we servants feel that it is a great blessing that we have enough food to eat and don't have to worry about going hungry or freezing every day."

Zhuang Zhou smiled faintly and looked at the other four girls who were spinning.

Suddenly I thought of something.

In this era, handicraft industry was not yet very mature.

Currently, there are two main categories on the market: government-owned and private.

Industries like smelting, ceramics, papermaking, and shipbuilding are mostly state-run.

However, the textile industry is mostly privately owned.

In rural areas, many farmers can weave silk and linen by themselves at home.

Then you can sell it, exchange it for money, and buy other daily necessities.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou thought that he could improve the current handicraft industry.

For example, textiles, printing, and tea making can all be developed.

As for printing technology, movable type printing was still unknown.

This is actually just a very small typesetting.

There is also gunpowder, which was originally discovered by chance by Taoist alchemists while making elixirs.

But it is enough to change history.

"By the way, sir, I got a treasure here. I wonder if you like it?"

Just when Zhuang Zhou was stunned, Hongyu suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what is it?"

Hongyu said, "It's a medical book."

Medical book?

Zhuang Zhou was obviously not very interested.

He didn't study medicine and paid little attention to these things.

Besides, ancient medical technology can never compare with later medicine.

"Sir, do you want to take a look?"

Hongyu asked again.

"What kind of medical book is this? What does it talk about?"

"It was written by Bian Que during the Warring States Period, and its main discussion is..."

"etc!"

Just as Hongyu was about to continue, Zhuang Zhou stopped her immediately:

"You just said it was written by Bian Que?

Is this the Bian Que from "Bian Que Meets Duke Huan of Cai"?

Hongyu didn't seem to understand Zhuang Zhou's words:

"What did you just say about Bian Que meeting Duke Huan of Cai?"

At this time, Ural crawled out at some point and a line of information was delivered to Zhuang Zhou's retina.

Only then did Zhuang Zhou realize that the title of this classic Chinese language article was added by later generations.

Of course Hongyu didn't understand.

"It's like when Bian Que met Duke Huan of Cai and said, 'Your illness is in your skin; if you don't treat it, it will get worse...'"

Hongyu still doesn't understand.

Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said:

"Do you think this Bian Que lived during the Warring States Period?"

"Yes, that's Bian Que."

I held a grass!

This is terrible!

In Zhuang Zhou's view, the content of medical books is not important at all.

This medical book itself is important!

It's a total antique treasure.

"Do you really have his medical book?"

"Of course, Hongyu would never lie to you, sir."

"Where is it? Take me to see it quickly."

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
