"He uses it." Jiang Xia listened to the man's passionate words and looked at Lu Yuanting.
"Comrade Lu, there doesn't seem to be anything you can use here."
The man selling hand cream was dumbfounded. Looking at Lu Yuanting, who was standing next to Jiang Xia with a cold face and a bandit-like demeanor, his body tensed up and he lost his eloquence all of a sudden. It was hard to imagine that such a rough man would apply snow cream on his face and use hand cream on his hands.
"I want this, how much is it?" Lu Yuanting pointed at the hand cream in the man's hand without changing his expression.
"Five dollars and eighty-eight cents." The man said with gritted teeth.
After listening to what the man said, Lu Yuanting took out the money and gave it to him, then put the hand cream into his pocket.
Jiang Xia didn't expect Lu Yuanting to really buy it. How come she didn't know that Lu Yuanting had the habit of maintaining it.
"Xiao Lu, are you buying this as a gift for someone or something?" Su Zhongshu took a look and asked curiously, thinking of buying a can for his own old lady to use as a wipe.
"I wiped it myself, but people looked down on me. They said my hands were too rough and the calluses hurt." Lu Yuanting shook his head, and there seemed to be some helplessness in his voice. He spread out his palms and looked at the calluses on his palms. They were thick calluses left by years of touching guns.
"Who is so pampered? Nowadays, who doesn't have calluses on their hands after working?" Su Zhongshu opened his eyes wide when he heard Lu Yuanting's words.
"..." Jiang Xia.
Lu Yuanting said nothing, but his eyes fell on Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia turned away and walked straight forward. Looking at the other things in the city, from the perspective of later generations, the variety of things sold here is quite limited. Basically, they are daily necessities, shoes, clothes, pants, skin care products, etc. bought wholesale from big cities by bus.
There are a lot of people, but because the policy has not been completely relaxed, many people who come here to buy things are a little nervous, for fear of being caught. The vendors' stalls are all tied with black cloth and ropes, and they can pack up and run away at any time.
"How much are these things?" Jiang Xia stopped in front of a vendor. Compared with other stalls, this vendor's stall was really not visited by many people. The things displayed on it could not be eaten or used. If you had to say it, they were just ornaments for observation, some old objects and antiques.
They all look old, but the workmanship is fine and they look pretty nice.
Jiang Xia didn't know much about antiques, but he could tell that these were most likely authentic. Antiques were worthless these days and were sold casually on the streets. Many of them were smashed. Apart from foreigners, the only people who could afford to buy these were people with a lot of spare money.
Jiang Xia's sight fell on a corner of the stall, which was a somewhat damaged ancient book. The words on it were all in ancient Chinese and difficult to understand, but Su Jin recognized it. It said "Shan Yixi".
Her heart skipped a beat and she suppressed her excitement.
The Shanyi Manual was discovered decades later, which caused a huge sensation in the medical community. At that time, only fragments were discovered, with only three or four pages intact, and the rest were damaged.
It was just three or four pages of content, and it was based on it that a corresponding specific medicine was developed for an epidemic that was giving countless experts headaches at the time.
What she saw in front of her now was a complete ancient book.
