Chapter 127 Puji Hall Opens
Chapter 127 Puji Hall Opens
Changqing City is located on the northeast coast of the island. It is an important fishing and trading port on Qichuan Island.
There are many mountains around Changqing City, with jagged rocks and barren land, which is not suitable for growing food crops such as rice.
However, Changqing Port is the closest port to the northern mainland, and the two sides have frequent trade and personnel exchanges.
There are often several large ships moored in Changqing port, the short ones are fifty or sixty feet long, and the long ones are nearly one hundred feet long.
Like a group of giant sea beasts, the distance between them is on the sea.
The county town is very prosperous, after all, it is a port city, and there are still many merchants coming and going.
Most of the city is restaurants, hostels and warehouses, and several streets are full of shops with many signboards and crowds.
On the most prosperous Chengguan Street, a new shop was opened called "Pujitang", which mainly sells medicines and leather.
The store is not too big, separated from the left and right sides.
On the left are some medicines, such as Zhiqingdan, Huichundan, Wujinwan and so on. A few rows of small medicine bottles are placed in the most eye-catching place, with three large characters on red paper __ Wanying ointment. Uses are indicated below in small print, mainly treating bruises, mosquito bites, sores, carbuncles, swelling and pain, dizziness, nausea, etc.
There is also a red flag posted at the door, which says the secret recipe __Wan Ying Ointment!
Needless to say, this is Leng Rui's handwriting, whether it is true or false, ignore it, and let the momentum out first.
Just for the words "ancestral secret recipe", Du Hu and Er Niu sucked their teeth.
Third Junior Brother! You don't even know where your 18th generation ancestors are, and you still have the secret recipe passed down from your ancestors?
Leng Rui's face was neither red nor white.
What is this? You go to the earth and have a look, the secret recipes handed down from the ancestors and the secret recipes of the palace are all over the street.
It turns out that in the late Qing Dynasty, there were no babies crying in the palace for forty years, but there was still a so-called imperial doctor who sold the secret medicine for giving birth to a son.
Therefore, facts belong to facts, and deception belongs to deception, two different things.
Leng Rui made the right calculations. This Qichuan Island is hot and humid, so there must be miasma and mosquitoes. People are easily bitten by mosquitoes, and are prone to heatstroke and dizziness. Ordinary people go up to the mountains to cut firewood and hunt, and they will inevitably be injured. Panacea Ointment is formulated for these injuries.
The main medicine is naturally snapping turtle ointment and dipterocarp, supplemented by mint, cinnamon and other preparations.
There are mainly some leathers on the right side, the most eye-catching ones are two pieces of golden snapping turtle skins, which completely occupy the wall.
The three rows of bone pillars on the skin of the snapping turtle were no longer visible, and now only the upper three rows of glittering things that were as smooth as a mirror and as dazzling as jewels could be seen.
As soon as these two golden snapping turtle skins were hung out, they caused a sensation, and the door was suddenly crowded with people.
This thing is not common, especially if two of them are hung up at once, it is even more strange.
Today is the first day of Puji Hall's opening, and all seven people, including Dahu, Erniu, and Leng Rui, have come.
Several villagers including Wang Damao and Wu Fengyan also came.
A short and strong man in the crowd stood up and said to Leng Rui and the others with a cupped fist, "Congratulations! I wish you a lot of money!"
When Leng Rui saw it, he recognized him. He met him at the beach a while ago, and his name was Du Yong.
Leng Rui and the others hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile, "Thank you Du Dage for your good words!"
"Good thing! Good thing!" Du Yong's eyes lit up, and he walked directly to the skin of the snapping turtle, smelling and touching it, and couldn't put it down.
After watching for a long time, Du Yong raised his head and asked, "Is this skin familiar to you?"
"Yes!" Leng Rui replied with a smile.
"Excellent craftsmanship! It's rare on Qichuan Island! It's light and soft, and these bone columns are polished especially well, transparent and bright, without any roughness." Du Yong was full of praise.
"If Du Dage likes it, we will open it today, to make it auspicious, and give us a special price." Leng Rui could see that Du Yong really liked it.
"What a shame, Brother Leng's new store opened, I should back up a generous gift, how dare I take advantage of my brother." Du Yong said politely, but his face was full of joy.
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of blowing, blowing and beating, and Linlin with two clothed heads came from a distance, colorful and looking very festive.
The two Linlins shook their heads and tails along the way, making various movements.
This is a gong and drum team specially invited by Wang Damao, just for auspiciousness and excitement.
The two Linlins stopped at the entrance of Puji Hall, jumped up and down, and danced non-stop.
There are more and more people watching the excitement, and the road is almost blocked.
The shop owners who are adjacent to the left and right also ran over to congratulate.
"Wish you prosperity and wealth!"
"Reopening day!"
...
All kinds of auspicious words are endless.
Du Hu responded, and said: "All shopkeepers! Neighbors! Our shop will prepare some thin wine at Sihai Building tonight. Please enjoy it!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Everyone agreed one after another, and went into the store to watch carefully.
All the businessmen are human beings, it doesn't matter at first glance, they all took a breath of air.
Pujitang's goods are not too rich, but almost all of them are high-quality goods, and they are all best-selling on Qichuan Island.
Qichuan Island is rich in various medicinal materials, ores, fur, etc. What is lacking is patent medicine and leather products.
Most of the trade with the Northern Continent is to import medicines, silk fabrics, leather products, tools and other production life supplies.
They all received invitations from Puji Hall three days ago, and they came here today, one of them is to enjoy the show, and the other is to see the details of the competitors.
Looking at the people in Puji Hall, they were all young people, and some of them were children. Everyone felt a little more relaxed. Some people even made up their minds to cooperate with Pujitang.
"Shopkeeper Lin is here!" Someone outside shouted loudly.
After hearing shopkeeper Lin's words, everyone rushed out to greet him.
Those who dared to report so loudly, except for the most powerful and financially powerful Lin family, no one else would have the guts.
Leng Rui saw a gorgeous carriage coming, followed by several servants in green clothes and small caps.
The carriage stopped when it was about twenty feet away from Puji Hall.
A servant stepped forward to open the car door, and an imposing man stepped down.
This is Lin Fan, the Patriarch of the Lin family, who also received an invitation from Puji Hall three days ago, and came to join us today.
Leng Rui looked at the head of the Lin family. He was tall and his complexion was much fairer than that of the locals.
Dressed in white, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he is well maintained. He looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties, but he is almost seventy years old.
"Congratulations!" Lin Fan's face was full of spring breeze from a long distance away, and his hands were cupped fist.
Leng Rui and the others rushed to greet him, and the cupped fist returned the gift.
"It's a great honor for shopkeeper Lin to come here in person, please sit inside." Er Niu said politely.
"They are all in the same business, and the new store opened, as it should be. The shopkeepers are very polite!"
Lin Fan kept smiling and greeted the group of people coming up.
"Shopkeeper Hong, Treasurer Wang, Treasurer Liu, everyone is here, today we have to catch up!..."
For a moment, Lin Fan became the focus of the scene, and everyone surrounded him to greet him.
