Chapter 19 The old military doctor of the Ming Dynasty

What's going on?

Not to mention that the people around me didn't know what was going on, even the three masters and servants who had been watching the lively atmosphere upstairs couldn't see clearly.

"Miss, why did the two of them suddenly stand up?"

"That's right, what's wrong with their eyes?"

Those who are maids don’t know, and those who are young ladies don’t understand. Even the onlookers don’t know why.

As for Shi Yiwen, who was involved, stared at the grocery store owner and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr., Master..."

The shopkeeper of the grocery store was stared in panic and hurriedly ran out and said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, the old man really didn't see clearly just now, I really didn't see clearly..."

"I really didn't see clearly?"

Shi Yiwen asked with a grin.

It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, and this shopkeeper can understand it in order to protect himself.

"Since I haven't seen it clearly, then send the thing over."

While talking, he looked at a young guy beside him. The guy wanted to speak several times before, but he didn't dare to stand up in the end. At least this guy still had that heart.

"Let him give it."

Just as the guy tied up the things Shi Yiwen bought and hung up the carry, the master and servants walked out of the restaurant over there. When Shi Yiwen left, the five master and servants happened to pass by him on horseback.

"This is a coincidence."

When the master and servant passed by, Shi Yiwen saw the woman riding on the horse, not her dressed in conspicuous clothes, but the hat and the circle of white gauze on her head were the most conspicuous among the crowd.

After all, there is only one woman riding a horse on the street now... Uh, there are two maids behind.

Unlike the cold eyes just now, this time when she passed by, Shi Yiwen seemed to look back at her when she saw her.

Could it be that she has taken a fancy to herself?

While feeling so proud in his heart, Shi Yiwen said to Dacheng, who was carrying the pick.

"Go to Jiangdong Gate."

On the way back, seeing that Dacheng was really hard to carry the load, he asked casually.

"Is this a good guy in the store?"

"Young Master is asking the little one?"

Dacheng was stunned for a while before turning his head and asking.

"yes."

When Dacheng heard this, he first wiped the sweat from his forehead with the cloth hanging around his neck, and then smiled.

"Being a friend in the store is just to eat. If you are not diligent, your boss will blame you."

"How is the business in that shop?"

"It's still true, the boss does business with authenticity, and the people who buy things are old customers."

Dacheng laughed.

"However, it is rare for people to buy so many things like you. In fact, if you buy too much, the shops on the dock will not be sold in stock, but the price is cheaper than here."

OK!

I used to praise the boss, but I pushed the boss's customers out. But then I thought about it, I'm afraid this is the so-called "simple folk customs"!

Thinking of his previous experience, Shi Yiwen mocked himself in his heart and asked again.

"Then how much money can you make in a day?"

"Young master, I am the shop's friend. I go to the shop at the age of nine and only care about food and accommodation. During the holidays, the owner will give some rewards. When I was fifteen, I started to pay wages, 1 taels per month, 5 cents per month. Now, I can get more than two taels of silver per month, plus the usual errand money, and a month, I have about three taels of silver. I can get more when it's good."

After calculating the current prices in his mind, Shi Yiwen said.

"That's not bad. You can earn about three taels of silver a month, and you can save some money in this year." It's really a lot for a guy to earn three or four taels of silver a month.

"What money should I save?"

Dacheng, who had originally smiled on his face, sighed repeatedly.

"This guy can save money. Besides, when I entered the store, I asked a tooth to protect myself. I just couldn't make my fortune, and I had to give it to the tooth. I didn't have any money back then, so I followed the rules. In the past few years, I had to pay one tael of silver every year. After taking the wages, I had to give it to the tooth for five years, and it would be cleared until next year..."

"Aren't you just a guy? As for this trouble?"

Shi Yiwen said in surprise, is this the guy who introduced the introduction, or what? As for the amount of introduction fees?

"Young Master, you don't know that the shops on this street don't easily look for a friend. Even if they look for a friend, they always look for their relatives and neighbors. There is no tooth as a security guard. Not to mention being a friend in the store, even if they are a coolie at the dock, they may not be considered a "subject to it?"

Dacheng's answer made Shi Yiwen silent for a while. He did not expect that being a guy would be so troublesome.

It is indeed not easy for ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

Even begging for food with strength is so difficult.

Jiangnan in the sixth year of Wanli was perhaps the last glory of the Ming Dynasty. The commodity economy was unprecedentedly developed. Under the stimulation of the commodity economy, social consumption capacity also became extravagant. Officials and gentlemen in the upper class showed their privileges in the pursuit of fashionable clothing and luxurious enjoyment; nouveau riche groups in the lower class took effect, and they were the most wealthy. In contrast, the life of the people at the lower class was extremely difficult. It was not uncommon for the rich to live. The meat smelled of the rich and frozen bones on the road, which was even more common.

It is the Wanli period. In summary, the last peaceful days of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades should be the last peaceful day. After the Wanli period, after the Guangzong, which had no sense of existence, and entered the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty fell into storm. Natural disasters during the small glacier period were frequent, and the severe drought in the north that had not been seen for thousands of years made countless people become hungry, countless people became bandits, and then the Jiashen heaven changed, the land of China sank, and all the prosperity disappeared.

Thinking of this, Shi Yiwen's mood became a little down.

He had no interest in appreciating the prosperity of Nanjing city along the way. He knew that all the prosperity was just a passing cloud. In less than seventy years, everything would be destroyed, and all the prosperity would be left on paper.

How should I deal with all this in this era?

"Young Master, after crossing this bridge, it's Jiangdong Gate. I wonder where the young master is going to deliver the things?"

Dacheng's question made Shi Yiwen come to his senses and looked at the left and right in a daze. The shops on the street all looked the same, and as for the several alleys in front of him, there was no difference.

Where are you living?

Just as Shi Yiwen was puzzled and didn't know where he lived, Liu Jinjiang suddenly rushed out from the side, shouted excitedly and grabbed Shi Yiwen, and said.

"Brother Shi, let me find you!"

"Yeah, Brother Liu is looking for me?"

When you meet the landlord, you are still worried about not being able to return home? Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"I just went out to buy things."

"Buy something?"

Seeing the porter beside him, although he didn't know why Shi Yiwen bought so many things, Liu Jinjiang, who was looking for someone, still said.

"I said that, but, man, I just arrived at home and saw that you were not at home. I thought that you were not familiar with the situation around me, but I was worried... I was so worried!"

Liu Jinjiang is very worried!

Because he had something to ask for Shi Yiwen, he brought this person to his home, but the miracle doctor disappeared. How could he not be in a hurry?

"Now, I let my friends wait at home and come out to find you by myself."

"friend?"

Although Liu Jinjiang did not explain, Shi Yiwen guessed that Liu Jinjiang's anxiousness might have something to do with his friend, so he did not expose Liu Jinjiang's thoughts.

"Hehe, man, my friend is the same as me..."

Liu Jinjiang, who was afraid of being heard, lowered his voice.

"It's also a bit unspeakable. If you want to ask for your help, only you can cure this disease."

Hearing him say this, Shi Yiwen felt happy.
