Chapter 22 Entering the town

When I entered the town, there were shops on both sides of the street. On the street near the city gate, even if it was originally a house, it was converted into shops, which was similar to the storefronts of my previous life. Of course, it means that it was similar in form.

Although the town is not big, the road of the "town gate" is actually paved with stones. He stood at both ends of a stone slab and shook it left and right, but the stone slab was completely embedded in the road. It seems that this is not a stone slab, it should be a stone strip, and it is nailed vertically in the road like a wooden stake. In this way, there will be no problems such as slab breaking and surface grinding, but it will take a lot of time and effort.

It's a big deal, Jia Yi thought silently, I don't know if the whole town is like this or the only one street is like this.

"Teacher, are there such stone roads in the town?" Asked if you didn't understand, Jiayi adhered to this fine tradition.

"How is this road leading to the Lord's Mansion? Only this road is like this stone road. The other roads are good, the stones are piled up, and the worst is that the soil is compacted."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the pharmacy to sell the herbs first, and then go for a meal."

After saying that, he took Jiayi forward. Most of the houses on both sides of the street are mixed with stone and wood, and most of the foundation and the lower part are made of stone, but some of the stones are built high and some are low. The stones are covered with wood.

Walking through the intersection of Cross 3 in the center of the town, Yao Lao took him into the street on the left, walked to the bottom, and walked into a blue-gray house.

Jiayi stood outside the door and observed. It was not a big house. The side facing the street was only 5 or 6 meters, but the whole wall was made of stone. A red sign was hung on the left side of the door, with a grass on it.

The grass is quite similar, and it looks very similar to the elder's amaranth, with long stems, round leaves, and a flower spike on the top. Below this picture is a line of large characters. Fortunately, Jiayi knows it.

"Maca's Pharmacy!" Jia Yi read it out in a low voice. The name sounded very masculine. He was old and really needed Maca to make up for it.

Theoretically, the one drawn on this brand should be a herb, but unfortunately Jiayi didn't know it.

Although I have been studying with Lao Yao for several months, and have given him strong learning ability for two lives, and have also been exposed to many medicinal materials. But after all, I have only studied in a relatively closed mountain village for a while. I still have many places to learn about this world, even as small as medicinal materials, and I cannot be proud and complacent.

Always remember that you are not the protagonist.

After reflecting on himself for a moment, Jiayi walked into the pharmacy shop. Lao Yao was sitting next to the table, taking out the medicinal materials from the back basket and handing them to the owner of the pharmacy.

When he saw Jia Yi coming in, he said to him: "This is Dad Maka. The medicinal materials I picked are usually sold to him, and the medicinal materials I lack are also purchased here. Maka knows many people from the caravan, and basically ordinary medicinal materials can be obtained, and some precious medicinal materials can be obtained."

"Maca, this is my new student. I am quite smart and I learn very quickly."

"Hello Dad Maca!" Jia asked, and looked at the owner of the drug shop.

Maca looks not young anymore, with little hair on her head, and the only circle of hair left is gray. Her face is slightly round, with a pair of hooked noses, and her hands are like eagles grabbing. She is thin and powerful, and looks very stable.

After hearing Yao Lao's words, Maka raised her head and looked at Jiayi, and said to Yao Lao: "You finally accepted an apprentice, and no one would know if you died at home."

"Are you so good? Although you have children, but you are not around, you are not as good as me!"

"Tsk, I'll go to the provincial capital to join my son if I can't work for a few more years. I'll be better than you, a widowed man."

Jiayi quietly watched the two old men quarrel, and didn't talk to each other, just a small stool and melon seeds were missing.

I never thought that Yao Lao is so introverted now has so much talk. Sure enough, everyone has their own circle.

When the two old men stopped a little, Jia saw that there was a chance to ask: "Teacher, what is the drawing on the sign outside the door? It seems that I have never seen it before!"

"Aha~ Jiayi, I'm going to draw it like it. I call it herb. It's a unique sign in my store." Maka saw that Jiayi was interested in the sign outside the door and said actively, "Everyone knew that it was a drug store that was sold."

"I guess this is a herb, but what herb is it?"

"The name of this grass is medicinal herb." Yao Lao next to him looked at Maka in a complicated way and said to Jiayi.

"Ah, there are also herbs called medicinal herbs? What are the effects of medicinal herbs? I have never heard of them before." It feels so tangled. Since you dare to call this name, you should have magical effects. If you treat diseases, you will strengthen your body without illness.

"Hmph, how long have you learned from me? There are so many things you haven't seen before." Yao Lao couldn't help but hit him, "Although you learn quickly, you can't be complacent. You must know that the earth is vast and infinite. You may not know where there are medicinal materials that you don't know, and have various magical effects. You must persist in studying and not slacking off."

"Do you know, live until you are old and learn until you are old!"

"No, live until you are old and learn until you are old. This sentence is well said! You must remember it." Lao Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence.

"Of course, it is inevitable that you don't recognize the herbs outside, because there is no such herbs called herbs."

"What?" When Jia heard this, he couldn't help but whip out in English. When he saw two old men looking at him in question, he quickly added, "I mean, what does this mean?" He still left a sentence without saying it.

Although Yao Lao felt that his speech suddenly became erratic, he explained to him: "This picture was made by him. In order to make it easier for people to know that this is a medicine shop, he thought that the picture was hanging outside the door. After all, not everyone can read it."

"But I didn't know what to draw, so I created a 'herb' and painted it on it. The leaves are imitated with green vanilla, the flower spikes are white-thorn amaranth, and the stems are casually drawn."

"Old Maka, what I said is right!"

If it was a comic, Jiayi's expression must be a petrified expression now, and a crow must fly over his head... Just draw whatever you want, just draw whatever you want, Balabarabala said so much.

"I wanted to draw a representative herb, such as dragon blood grass, white plumeria, etc., but I have never seen it before. Besides, what if others think I want to buy it?"

"So I combined a non-existent herb by myself. Although this herb does not exist, people can recognize it at a glance. The whole town and the surrounding area know that I have to go to my pharmacy to buy medicine." Maka also explained to Kayi.

"That's because you are the only one medicine shop in the whole town!" Yao Lao couldn't help but interrupt Maka's bragging. "You can look at the medicinal materials here first. I'll take Jiayi out for a walk to see what to buy, and have dinner together at noon."
