The shopkeeper arrived late and heard the last sentence.
He didn't know what happened, but he knew he couldn't offend the guests, so he quickly stopped Cheng Zhongqian to apologize.
Cheng Zhongqian said with a cold face: "No need, I'm not here to see a doctor."
After saying this, he bypassed the shopkeeper and returned to the bullock cart, feeling cold all over his body.
Lingbao looked at where he was, then turned around and went out to find his father.
The little girl can't discern the hidden meanings from specious words, but she is very sensitive to people's emotions.
Cheng Yi couldn't hide something in his heart, so he snorted at the apprentice and followed him out. This dog looked down upon others and didn't wait.
The shopkeeper looked left and right in embarrassment, then looked at Cheng Yun, who seemed gentle and good-tempered: "This..."
Cheng Yun did not answer his words, but mentioned turmeric: "Shopkeeper, can you accept it?"
The shopkeeper nodded quickly: "Yes, how many do you have?"
It’s really medicinal!
Cheng Yun suppressed the surprise and doubt in his heart and asked calmly: "What's the price?"
The shopkeeper asked if he had concocted it. When he found out that he had not, he said, "Twenty-five cents per catty, how many do you have?"
The Cheng family didn't have a scale. The village chief estimated that it weighed about fifteen pounds. Cheng Yun shook his head and said, "No, you should have a scale, right? You can weigh it yourself."
The shopkeeper immediately asked someone to carry the sacks.
Cheng Zhongqian was standing next to the bullock cart, but he didn't even bother to look at them, and he didn't even move away when it was inconvenient for them to lift him.
They are not the only medical center in this county.
The apprentice felt extremely aggrieved. He hadn't done anything wrong. Why didn't he let him in? How could he be so petty?
"It's a total of fifteen kilograms and a half. I'll give you a round number, four hundred wen, which will be regarded as our Miaorentang's apology. Young Master, do you think it's okay?" said the shopkeeper.
Cheng Yun smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "There's no need for round numbers. You get what you pay for, so that's how much it should be."
The shopkeeper's eyes moved, he paused for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.
After the money was paid, the shopkeeper asked: "Little Master, what happened just now? I can also apologize to your father."
"The shopkeeper might as well ask him."
The apprentice who was pointed at felt his scalp tense, because he knew the shopkeeper's behavior and temper, and he would definitely be reprimanded.
Cheng Yun nodded briefly, neither humble nor arrogant, and walked out looking ahead.
The shopkeeper saw Cheng Yun say a few words to Cheng Zhongqian, and Cheng Zhongqian glanced here. Although his face was still ugly, he didn't feel so cold towards him.
The shopkeeper hurriedly wanted to smile back, but Cheng Zhongqian really just glanced at him. He actually saw a superior look on the bearded face.
Two years ago, he once visited the capital city, which is full of nobles. The expressions of the dignitaries there were like this. It was not something that could be shown, but it was revealed from the bottom of their bones.
When he came back to his senses, Cheng Yun and the others had already left.
The shopkeeper's face sank and he asked, "Tell me, what did you do?"
The apprentice shrank his neck and did not dare to hide it. He told the whole story exactly what happened and said aggrievedly: "He was so dirty when he came in and it was everywhere. It's so troublesome to clean up."
"Then you won't let him in?" the shopkeeper asked back.
The apprentice argued: "I let him in."
"Did you let him in? Anyone who isn't a fool can figure out what you mean!" the shopkeeper scolded, "Our Miaorentang is here to treat the common people. The common people are poor, how can they dress up neatly?"
Pretty? After a trip to the county government office, you don’t know who you are anymore?”
The apprentice was so scolded that he felt ashamed and his face was full of shame.
...He was indeed a little carried away.
"Next time you see Mr. Cheng again, remember to apologize."
The apprentice nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
the other side.
The village chief quietly pulled Cheng Yun and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with your father? He looks unhappy."
Cheng Yun said first: "It's nothing big."
The village chief felt relieved.
Cheng Zhongqian urged: "Where is the hair-shaving stall? Take me there quickly."
Lingbao also took Cheng Yun's hand and urged him, with an excited look on his face: "Hurry, big brother, let's go shave daddy!"
When I was older and younger, I was thinking about shaving.
"Let's go."
However, God did not fulfill people's wishes.
When we arrived at the place, we didn’t see a hair-shaving stall.
"Did you look in the wrong place?" Cheng Zhongqian asked, "Why is there no one there?"
Cheng Yun just glanced at it accidentally before, and he really couldn't be sure it was here: "Did I really remember it wrong?"
"I remember correctly, that's it." The village chief said again, "He's the one who had his head shaved. Maybe he didn't go out to the stall today. I'll go ask."
After a while, the village chief came back: "They said the boss has something to do with his family, and it will take several days before he can leave the stall."
Cheng Zhongqian was extremely disappointed. He made a mess of himself and suffered the eyes of others, just for shaving!
Ling Bao asked confusedly: "Then dad can't shave today?"
Cheng Yun nodded: "I can only come again next time."
Cheng Zhongqian said irritably: "Who will come again? I won't come!"
"Dad, don't be so angry. It's just not a coincidence. It will be the same next time." Cheng Yun was very patient.
Cheng Zhongqian said angrily: "If you say I can't come, I won't come."
The village chief thought to himself, who is the father and who is the son?
Fortunately, that noodle shop is open.
The boss still remembered them and said with a smile: "It's you, here again, how many bowls do you want this time?"
Cheng Yi made a "six" sign and said happily: "Six bowls!"
"Okay, let me put some more marinade for you."
After eating, the village chief took out a few coins from his arms and was pushed back by Cheng Yun. The village chief was unwilling because he was not the kind of person who likes to take advantage.
Cheng Zhongqian said: "Don't refuse. You drove the bullock cart to send us here. If you don't give up for a bowl of noodles, it would be ridiculous."
The village chief scratched his head: "How generous?"
"It means being laughed at." Cheng Yun said, "So village chief, please take it back."
The village chief couldn't resist and had no choice but to take it back, but he had a somewhat changed view of Cheng Zhongqian. He was a little tempered, but he was a good person.
Cheng Yun wanted to buy some more things, but Cheng Zhongqian didn't want to be embarrassed again, so he and the village chief went to wait at the city gate.
After shopping, Cheng Yun paused as he passed the bookstore.
I suddenly thought that I haven't touched a book for three or four months...
In the past, without anyone's supervision, Cheng Yun never failed to read and practice calligraphy, and still enjoyed it.
"Brother, do you want to go in?"
Before he could say he didn't want to, Cheng Yi pulled him in and said, "You can go if you want."
There were only two or three scholars dressed in the bookstore, which was quiet and had a unique smell of paper.
Ling Bao has already seen the world, so she is not surprised at all. There are not as many books here as in her library!
Hearing someone coming in, Cheng Yun looked up.
The visitor was wearing a robe with a sloping front and wide sleeves, and a Xiaoyao scarf on his head. He took something out of his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper. He said unhurriedly: "Boss, please check to see if there are any typos or omissions."
Cheng Yun didn't understand what they were doing at first, until the shopkeeper finished checking, put the book aside and gave him a bunch of copper coins, and he suddenly understood.
