Chapter 573 Technological Progress
Sun Simiao led two disciples, led two donkeys, and drove a car into the lively Chang'an City. Although he was quite old, he was still in good spirits. The three left Zhongnan Mountain and entered Chang'an because the world was already peaceful and they were going out to save the world. As a doctor with medical ethics, although he lived in seclusion to avoid disaster, as long as he was peaceful, he would definitely come out to treat the disease and save the people, otherwise he would not have to be a doctor.
The last time he entered Chang'an was the Sui Dynasty, it had not been around for twenty years and changed a lot. However, Sun Simiao did not care about the bustling streets, but looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the streets. His job was to treat people, not to treat the country. He didn't know whether there were any problems with the young country of the Tang Dynasty, but it can be seen that there were many pathological diseases among the pedestrians on the streets.
"Teacher, let's go to have a meal first." After rushing for a day, I was tired and hungry, so I really needed to stop and take a rest.
"I remember there is a Yuelai Inn not far away. No matter how Chang'an changes, Yuelai Inn must be still there. If you bear it, we will have a meal and rest when we arrive at the inn, and look for teeth tomorrow." Sun Simiao was also hungry, so he targeted a cheap and affordable old store.
Yuelai Inn did not disappear, and was still in its original location. Although the decoration had been changed, the shopkeeper did not change. As soon as Sun Simiao stepped into the store, he was attracted by the crystal hanger on the nose of the shopkeeper in the store. He found that the shopkeeper was looking through the crystal.
This shopkeeper should be presbyopia. Judging from the distance he looked at, the things on his nose seemed to help the elderly see things. Sun Simiao was actually a bit presbyopia. After all, he was old and although he had the habit of practicing qi and meditation, he still could not withstand the power of time.
Seeing something fresh, Sun Simiao became interested immediately, so he walked to the counter and asked, "What is hanging on the bridge of the shopkeeper's nose?"
"This is called reading glasses, which are used to help the elderly see things. With it, I can see these small words clearly." This is not the first time the shopkeeper has faced curious customers.
"It actually has such a strange function?"
"Of course there is, this is the Western Region technology and is very effective." The shopkeeper said. Anyway, as long as it is from the Western Region, it is fashionable. On the contrary, if it is in the Western Region, as long as it is an Eastern product, it will also increase the fashionable value.
"This is crystal, the price must not be cheap." Sun Simiao said.
"Haha, this is not crystal, this is glass. If guests are interested, they can go to Yong'anfang three streets away. There is a royal glasses shop inside, which is specially equipped with glasses. According to your different requirements, you can buy a variety of glasses. My pair is only a semi-penetration."
The old man Sun Simiao thought that half-guan was not cheap, so he could only say that the residents of Chang'an were indeed rich, and half-guan was enough for Sun Simiao's disciples to eat for one month. Of course, this is outside Chang'an City. Even if you save money in the city, only three people will eat for ten days, and the prices are different.
The food for a person a month is naturally not expensive for shopkeepers who open shops in Chang'an.
Sun Simiao became interested and wanted to go to the Royal Glasses Store to check it out. I don’t know how the Western Regions technology helped the elderly to treat their eyes. But now we have a meal first, and it’s not too late to go tomorrow. It’s going to be dark, and there is a curfew after it’s dark, so we can’t leave the shop.
"The three of us stay in a restaurant, just a shop. We also need two plates of pickles and three bowls of noodles." We don't ask for much, not because we don't have money, but because we don't need to waste it.
After having enough food and rest, the next morning, Sun Simiao asked a disciple to stay in the inn to see things, took another disciple to look for the teeth, and by the way, he also took a look at the Royal Glasses Store.
In May, the morning is a great time, and the cool air makes people feel energetic. Early in the morning, many vendors started to hawk, the most vulgar, the most elegant is just selling firewood, and the most elegant is selling flowers. All kinds of smells come early in the morning. The sun has not yet fully risen, and at the end of the street is a piece of pink glow and red tiles.
The disciples were already stunned by the lively mornings in Chang'an. It was really too lively. There were many new things that had never been seen before, such as camels. The camel caravan shuttled through the streets early in the morning, and guests from the Western Regions were about to go out of the city and go home.
When I found a tooth shop, I mainly wanted to find a shop to open a medical hall. In fact, Sun Simiao himself couldn't explain why he wanted to open a shop in Chang'an. Chang'an was not the best choice, but there seemed to be a voice telling him that coming to Chang'an would be conducive to the development of medical skills.
The Yass Store didn't expect that a doctor from another place would come to Chang'an to open a shop, which is rare. After all, doctors need reputation, and they usually accumulate in their hometown. Seeing that Sun Simiao's beard is gray, they come to Chang'an to treat patients. Someone has to believe him. But as long as he pays, it's okay to find a shop.
Sun Simiao didn't have many requirements, so he had to be able to catch fire and cook, and he had to be able to live in people. Of course, it would be better if the location was better and the price was cheaper.
Yaren said who doesn’t like houses with good locations and low prices? The problem is that these two points are simply contradictory. He can only satisfy one of them, not two points at the same time.
"I do have two stores here. If the old man has time, he can go and see it now." Yaren was very straightforward. He had a cheap one here and there was a good location.
Sun Simiao naturally had time, so the group went to see the store first and then enjoyed the customs and customs of Chang'an again.
I was not very satisfied with the two properties I saw on the first day, so let’s continue tomorrow. Today I will go to other places to check out the pharmacy, and also go to the Royal Optician Store to check out.
The Royal Glasses Store was written by Li Shimin, and all the clerks in it served in a uniform manner. Men wore gray robes and women wore plain long skirts. The store was spotless and several elderly people were choosing glasses.
As soon as Sun Simiao entered the door, a young man came up and said, "Welcome." The old man was very uncomfortable.
"Old man, do you want to buy glasses? You can ask me any questions." The young man said.
Although it is called an eyewear store, it does not only sell glasses, but also magnifying glasses, telescopes, and even mirrors, as well as various styles of glassware. The color of the glass is also very bright and shiny, and has a sharp texture under the light.
Looking at the eyes, Sun Simiao took a magnifying glass to use the books prepared in the store. He found that the words were several times larger. This thing was good. In the past, he had to observe the patient by himself and had to get close to him before he could see carefully. However, with a magnifying glass, he could not get close to his tongue coating. He could see clearly as long as he held the magnifying glass. There was also a good thing. The mirror was as bright as the water surface, a hundred times higher than a bronze mirror. He could completely check his body.
As a miracle doctor, sometimes you have to use your own body to do experiments. The problem is that it is always blurry to see yourself with a bronze mirror, but if you have this "Silver Light Treasure Mirror", you can easily see your face change. The name of the product is called "Silver Light Treasure Mirror", which is for more fashionable.
OK, it's really good, the only disadvantage is that it's expensive. However, Sun Simiao also knew that these Western Region artifacts were originally expensive, and having no money was not the fault of the commodity, but his own fault.
