Chapter 433 Ancient Medical Book!!!

"Whoo~"

Zhuang Zhou let out a long breath.

Finally, Sister Qian was calmed down.

Taking the clothes and bidding farewell to Sister Qian, Zhuang Zhou left the backyard without looking back.

Walking out of the shop, Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath of fresh air and suddenly thought of something.

Yup!

Zhuangji Grocery Store, can you introduce some new products?

It looks like adult stores can add new things!

……

He galloped all the way back to the manor.

As soon as I parked the car in front of the mansion gate, Niu Dali heard the sound and rushed over:

"Boss Zhuang, the owner of Wangji Trading Company sent someone to look for you earlier."

Isn’t the shopkeeper of Wangji Commercial Bank Wang Zhigui?

Speaking of which, this was the noble man that Zhuang Zhou met when he first arrived in Chang'an City!

"Did you tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?"

Niu Dali said, "Yes, Shopkeeper Wang sent a name card saying there will be a singing and selling show in Chang'an tonight. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Zhuang Zhou didn't know what a singing and selling show was, and only found out after asking.

It turns out that this singing and selling show is where merchants in Kyoto would bring out their treasures and sell them.

In the end, the one who pays the highest price wins!

It is somewhat similar to auctions in later generations.

But you can exchange things for other things.

It’s a kind of resource sharing.

This is interesting!

You will definitely be able to find a lot of good stuff at this kind of singing and selling fair.

Zhuang Zhou said without thinking:

"Go prepare the carriage, and then go to the grocery store to inform the shopkeeper Ma and ask him to prepare the money. I'm going to attend the singing show tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, can I go with you?"

"Of course, get busy!"

"Dele!"

Now Niu Dali’s favorite thing is to go out with Zhuang Zhou.

Zhuang Zhou gave some instructions and went into the mansion.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw Hongyu leading several maids doing needlework.

Women in ancient times could not show their faces in public as freely as women in later generations.

Most of the time, I spend at home.

It's quite miserable.

At least for now, Zhuang Zhou cannot change these worldly things.

Zhuang Zhou walked over and looked at the embroidery sewn by Hongyu's hands, and couldn't help but admire it.

This craftsmanship is truly exquisite.

When Hongyu and the others saw Zhuang Zhou coming, they immediately stood up and bowed:

"The master is back!"

Zhuang Zhou raised his hand to signal them to sit down and asked:

"Hongyu, what else do you usually do besides needlework?"

Hongyu thought for a moment and replied:

"The maids can also learn some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they also know some poetry and songs."

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but sigh when he heard this:

"It's really hard for you. Staying in this house, I'm afraid you are almost suffocated, right?"

Hongyu quickly shook her head and said:

"No, we servants feel blessed that we have enough food to eat and don't have to worry about starving or freezing every day."

Zhuang Zhou smiled faintly and looked at the other four girls who were spinning.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

In this era, handicraft industry was not yet very mature.

Currently, there are two main types of companies on the market: government-owned and private.

Industries such as smelting, ceramics, papermaking, and shipbuilding are mostly government-run.

However, the textile industry is mostly privately owned.

In rural areas, many farmers can weave silk and linen by themselves at home.

Then you can sell it, exchange it for money, and buy other daily necessities.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou thought that he could improve the current handicraft industry.

For example, textiles, printing, and tea making can all be developed.

As for printing technology, movable type printing was still unknown.

This is actually just a tiny typesetting.

There is also gunpowder, which was originally discovered by accident by Taoist alchemists when they were making elixirs.

But it is enough to change history.

"By the way, sir, I got a treasure here, I wonder if you like it?"

Just as Zhuang Zhou was stunned, Hongyu suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what?"

Hongyu said, "It's a medical book."

Medical book?

Zhuang Zhou was obviously not very interested.

He didn't study medicine and paid little attention to these things.

Besides, ancient medical technology can never compare with later medicine.

"Sir, do you want to take a look?"

Hongyu asked again.

"What kind of medical book is this? What does it talk about?"

"It was written by Bian Que during the Warring States Period, and its main discussion is..."

"and many more!"

Just as Hongyu was about to continue speaking, Zhuang Zhou immediately stopped her:

"You just said it was written by Bian Que?

Is this the Bian Que from "Bian Que Meets Duke Huan of Cai"?

Hongyu didn't seem to understand Zhuang Zhou's words:

"What do you mean by Bian Que meeting Duke Huan of Cai?"

At this time, Ural crawled out at some point and a line of information was delivered to Zhuang Zhou's retina.

Only then did Zhuang Zhou realize that the title of this classic Chinese language article was added by later generations.

Of course Hongyu didn't understand.

"It's like when Bian Que met Duke Huan of Cai and said, 'Your disease is in your skin. If you don't treat it, it will get worse...'"

Hongyu still doesn't understand.

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and said:

"Do you think this Bian Que lived during the Warring States Period?"

"Yes, that Bian Que."

Got a piece of grass!

This is incredible!

In Zhuang Zhou's opinion, the content of medical books is not important at all.

This medical book itself is important!

It's totally an antique treasure.

"Do you really have his medical book?"

"Of course, Hongyu would never lie to you, sir."

"Where is it? Take me to see it quickly."

"It's in the room. I'll get it for you, sir."

"Let's go together."

……

Zhuang Zhou followed Hongyu into the house, and Hongyu carefully took out a cloth bag and opened it.

There was only a yellowed ancient book inside.

There were seven ancient characters embroidered in gold thread on the cover, which were completely unrecognizable.

Although it has been worn down by the years, it still looks solemn and dignified.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't wait to take the medical book, and Hongyu hurriedly shouted:

"Sir, be gentle!"

"Oh, yes, yes, look at how clumsy I am."

Zhuang Zhou gently opened the first page and saw neat handwriting with varying shades of ink.

It is obviously written by an ancient person.

"Good word!"

Zhuang Zhou admired sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Hongyu showed a bit of pride on her face:

"As long as you like it, Master."

Zhuang Zhou flipped through the pages one by one, appearing to be so gentle as to fear that he might damage them.

Although he couldn't understand the content at all.

But the rarity of this medical book alone was enough to make him excited.

If this thing were brought back to the modern era, it would surely be extremely valuable.

"Hongyu, where did you get this medical book?"

Zhuang Zhou asked.

Hongyu smiled softly and said:

"A few days ago, an old Taoist priest came to my house to beg for alms, and I gave him some food. He said that we were destined to be together, so he gave me this medical book."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou secretly rejoiced.

This Hongyu really has good taste.

"By the way, Hongyu, what's written on it?"

Zhuang Zhou looked at the cover carefully again, but still couldn't recognize it.

Hongyu obviously understood and blurted out:

"Sir, this is written Bian Que's Neijing."

Zhuang Zhou's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out:

"Then isn't this the Bian Que Wai Jing?"

Hongyu nodded and said:

"They are the two lost medical books of the legendary doctor Bian Que."
