Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 29 The things are old.

It seems that even though I am a master of medicine, I should not underestimate the people of the world.

He wrote the prescription himself, so of course he knew its contents.

We should uphold the principle that we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be wary of others.

Xia Tian deliberately divided the prescription into two parts, intending to get the medicine from two different pharmacies.

This single prescription is just an ordinary treatment for some common lung diseases.

The two formulas must be combined to produce remarkable results.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir. That old doctor did indeed give me two prescriptions!"

"However, I was advised to get it from two different pharmacies!"

"This recipe is only one of the parts."

"That's it!"

The old man nodded, understanding the whole story.

He knew that some doctors were afraid to reveal their secret remedies.

The prescription will be broken down, and the medicine will be obtained from different places.

"That's right!"

"May I ask what illness your elders suffer from?"

"It's a lung disease; I'm always coughing."

The old man nodded again, without saying anything more.

The servant quickly prepared the medicine.

Xia Tian took the medicine, paid for it, and left the pharmacy.

Summer quickly found a second pharmacy.

After looking at the prescription, the pharmacist didn't say much.

He then instructed the servant to begin preparing the medicine.

Soon, the second dose of medicine was also prepared.

Xia Tian paid and left the pharmacy.

Summer left the pharmacy and looked at the sky early in the morning.

We found a restaurant and went inside.

I ordered a braised pork belly and a meat-filled bun.

Soon, the food was served.

Summer devours food in the blink of an eye, like a starving ghost being reincarnated.

I've been in Weichang for almost two months now.

Although you can eat your fill at every meal in summer, as for eating well!

Aside from the weekly opportunity to improve the meals, I've never really eaten well.

So summer's taste has long been bland.

Now that people have the opportunity to eat meat, it's not surprising that they eat it in a less than elegant manner.

After paying the bill, Xia Tian wandered aimlessly through the streets of Chengde again.

Soon, a pawnshop appeared before Xia Tian.

As a person of the new era, Xia Tian had never seen a pawnshop.

That's why seeing a pawnshop felt so novel.

In fact, pawnshops began to be gradually banned after 1955.

This is an inevitable result of the development of the times.

"Hello, sir, what would you like to pawn?"

As soon as Xia Tian entered the store, a man who looked like the shopkeeper came to greet her.

"I'm just browsing!"

Xia Tian was taken aback for a moment, then spoke.

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, a barely perceptible look of disappointment flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

The shopkeeper had already heard rumors.

Their pawnshop is going to be shut down by the new government.

He was hoping to find something good before it was banned.

He'll make a quick buck and then go back to his hometown to develop his career.

"Since you have nothing to pawn, sir, what brings you here?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Xia Tian again, but couldn't recall her appearance.

He was certain that Xia Tian had not come to redeem the pawned goods.

"I'm just browsing. I wonder if the shopkeeper has anything here for sale?"

I remember that in the summer, pawnshops should also sell some unredeemed items.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper realized that Xia Tian had come to buy something.

His eyes suddenly gleamed.

He has many rare and precious treasures here, all of them top-quality items.

He was really worried about what to do.

These things cannot be eaten or drunk.

Although some things can be passed down as family heirlooms.

But he already had something better to pass down to his family.

Therefore, his pawnshop still has quite a few good items that have been forfeited.

"I wonder what kind of thing the young master is looking for?"

"What do you have here, shopkeeper?"

"Young sir, let me show you!"

"it is good!"

The shopkeeper went behind the counter and took out a lot of good things.

One piece of porcelain from the Kangxi period, and one piece of porcelain from the Qianlong period.

"Both of these items came from the Imperial Palace!"

The shopkeeper glanced at Xia Tian and lowered his voice to introduce the shop to her.

"A genuine masterpiece from the imperial kilns!"

Summer glanced at it and gave her evaluation.

"This thing is old, unfortunately it's not very useful."

He doesn't understand porcelain or like these things.

He'd be better off buying a jar for pickling vegetables than this.

"This is a top-quality Duan inkstone, said to have been used by Emperor Qianlong!"

Those in their line of work are the best at reading people's expressions and moods.

The shopkeeper keenly sensed that Xia Tian was not interested in porcelain.

Next, I'll introduce something to Xia Tian.

Summer certainly knows the Four Famous Inkstones, with the Duan inkstone being the most prestigious among them.

However, he doesn't know how to write calligraphy, so the inkstone is of no use to him.

"This is a piece of musk!"

The shopkeeper then took out a jade box.

After opening the jade box, there was a thumb-sized object quietly placed inside.

"This is a piece of musk produced by the original musk deer, and there is only this big piece."

The country has not yet enacted an animal protection law, so some precious medicinal materials are not so rare.

For example, you can still find cow horn and musk in some large pharmacies.

But since we've encountered each other here, there's no reason for us to let this opportunity pass us by.

Xia Tian glanced at the musk and then gestured for the shopkeeper to continue.

"This is an ingot of official silver from the Qianlong era, along with some Tongbao coins."

The shopkeeper then took out another ingot of official silver and several copper coins.

"This thing is really useful!"

Xia Tian glanced at the official silver and copper coins that the shopkeeper had taken out.

They gave their own evaluation.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by Xia Tian's words.

"What do you mean, 'open or not'?"

"Shopkeeper, do you have anything else here?"

"Yes, of course!"

The shopkeeper then gradually brought out more items from under the counter.

A jade Guanyin statue, made of Lantian jade, which even Xia Tian doesn't understand.

A bronze tripod, even more incomprehensible in the summer.

There are also a few silver dollars, all from the third year of the Republic of China.

There are other things, but I won't go into them all here, lest people accuse the author of padding the word count.

In the end, Xia Tian spent 150 yuan to acquire the musk, the ingot of silver, and a few copper coins.

The author didn't know the price either; it was just something I wrote. So please, those who like to scrutinize things, don't be offended.

If it weren't for the fact that the official silver ingot and a few copper coins weren't sold separately...

In the summer, he'll probably only take that ingot of official silver.

The reason I bought the official silver ingots was because I wanted to get a set of silver needles for summer.

How could a master of medicine not have his own set of silver needles?

As for its collectible value, Xia Tian had not considered it.

He only considers the practical value when buying things.

The two parties quickly completed the transaction.

The shopkeeper and Xia Tian were both very happy.

The shopkeeper was happy because he had made money.

Summer's happiness was an unexpected joy that happened to her today.

"Young sir, take care!"

"Okay, boss, goodbye!"

After leaving the pawnshop in the summer, he wandered around the streets again.

Although it was Sunday, there were hardly any people on the streets of Chengde at this time.

After strolling around for a while, Xia Tian checked the sky and headed towards the place she had arranged to meet Xiao Pang.
