after get off work.

Chen Nan did not go home directly.

Ride a small electric car and travel around the city.

Soon, we arrived at the traditional Chinese medicine market in Qiushui District, Yuancheng City.

This place first started in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when it was the distribution base of traditional Chinese medicine in Yuancheng City.

A large amount of traditional Chinese medicine is shipped from here to many places across the country every day.

In recent years, the traditional Chinese medicine market in Qiushui District has declined somewhat.

It was after six o'clock in the afternoon and there were not many people here.

Many pharmacies are preparing to close one after another.

In 2004, the Qiushui District Traditional Chinese Medicine Market was protected and managed by the government, and the entire facade was renovated.

It adds a lot of antique feel.

Cornered cornices.

Drum tower style.

Bluestone road.

Shade willows in pairs.

After the rain, the ground has a bit more earthy fragrance.

Walking inside, if it weren't for the bright street lights, you would feel like you have traveled to an ancient street.

Chen Nan is here to buy medicine.

He plans to start work tonight to make a batch of Angong Niuhuang Pills.

Chen Nan passed by several stores, and the wooden couplets on both sides were very interesting.

Chen Nan couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Licorice, comfrey, rushes, dwarf grass, and grasses all cure diseases; yam, black root, peony, and myrrh do not cure diseases."

…

"The red lady wears red flowers before riding in the chariot; the general rides a seahorse and wears a mountain armor."

…

"Cigu travels through the mountains to pick red flowers, and travels to the raw and ripe fields; Su Zi crosses the river to search for comfrey, and climbs Changshan and Huaishan."

…

In these couplets, there are names of traditional Chinese medicines.

But when combined cleverly, it feels very interesting!

Chen Nan came here with his grandfather when he was a child.

However, he didn't understand this at all at that time.

And now, the time has come again.

But suddenly I understood something.

These couplets, or poems, belong to the romance of traditional Chinese medicine people.

Chen Nan couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Stopped for a long time...

Perhaps, in ancient times, people were more romantic and poetic about their work.

Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the standard of living has improved.

Perhaps people look much more refined and luxurious than the ancients.

but……

However, Chen Nan felt that people were in a hurry and in this unpredictable era, people were tired of running around, but their hearts were desolate and barren.

We may have forgotten that there is a gene for dreams in the unique human soul.

What we do is work, not a career.

To make money, not ideals.

Life seems to have become a blur in front of our eyes.

The so-called poetry and distance are gradually drifting apart.

We obviously have enough food and clothing, but...the current mainstream world view makes us tired of running around and working hard.

There is nothing right or wrong.

Why isn’t Chen Nan himself among them?

…

Before I knew it, I had walked half a mile more.

Chen Nan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and walked into a store that was still open, called "Qiu Shui Ankang", but there was still a signboard of "Qiu Shui Ankang Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd." hanging next door.

Many of these pharmacies are corporate.

As for the traditional Chinese medicine market in Qiushui District, these companies will put up signboards here and use them as stores.

The real company headquarters is not here.

However, having a store is naturally for retail purposes.

"Hello, I'll buy some medicine."

After Chen Nan came in, he said with a smile.

At this time, Zheng Lu was already preparing to leave after get off work.

The employees have all left. He came here today just to check the orders for tomorrow's batch of goods.

That's why it didn't close the door.

Hearing someone buying medicine, Zheng Lu turned around.

"Hello, what can I buy?"

Chen Nan handed the prepared list to the other party: "It's all here."

"Trouble!"

Zheng Lu suddenly laughed: "This is the kind of business we do, how can we say it's troublesome!"

"Pharmacies, no more than others, have rules passed down from our ancestors."

"There are too many medicines and too few medicines, but they are all for the purpose of curing the disease. You cannot be picky and picky."

"The purpose of dressing up and wearing clothes is to save people. Don't dislike the poor and love the rich."

"Wait a moment, I'll give you some medicine!"

In the past two days, my father Zheng Qiusheng's health has been getting better and better.

His mood also improved a lot.

When Chen Nan heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Sure enough, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and there are rules for every line.

There are still many people who are holding on.

Chen Nan said sheepishly: "By the way, could you please put the circled medicines in separate bags?"

Zheng Lu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"

"piece of cake."

Chen Nanzi has a lot of medicinal flavor, but the dosage is not high.

However, the other party was very fast and did not weigh the medicine at all. He directly grabbed the medicine on the shelf and separated it into the bag with his hands.

Chen Nan was a little surprised.

Met an expert!

You know... Chen Nan's grandfather basically couldn't weigh himself when taking medicine, because his hands were the best weighers.

This requires time and effort.

Not long after, the medicine was ready.

"Then, it's all here!"

"Don't worry about the amount of medicine. My hands are those of an apprentice. I have been holding them for more than ten years. I have a scale in my hand and a weight in my heart. They are inseparable."

Chen Nan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
