Looking for handwriting in Lanxi Old Town and listening to the whispers of mottled years.

Lanxi ancient town always gives people a retro feeling.

Although the shops on the street are updated frequently.

But you can always find an old shop in two steps.

These old shops still use the old house numbers.

I spent decades in the Spring and Autumn Period.

People come and go as always.

Meet these "retro" handwriting.

As if I could feel its dust.

Be tireless and unhurried.

Lanxi restaurant

yan'an road

Lanxi Restaurant was formerly known as "Xifumao"

During the Republic of China, it was famous for selling bulk yellow wine.

At that time, workers pulling goods in Lanxi often rested here.

A dish of peanuts and a bowl of rice wine.

After liberation, it was changed to public-private partnership.

Xifumao has also become a restaurant.

After several changes of hands, the nature has also changed.

Then the reform and opening up and the transformation of the old city.

This shop extends from Heping Road to Jiefang Road.

Now this one on Yan 'an Road has been around for more than twenty years.

I don't know which storm blew the word Lanxi off the house number.

The rest of the restaurant is still strong and bright.

Time flies, and I am a school of my own.

Unique in the initial position.

In fact, few people can still have a sip of bulk wine.

But the restaurant business is still very good.

These customers who came to the store to order a bowl of Shaoxing rice wine.

Good things are the fragrance in the shop.

And the fragrance from childhood to ancient times

Xinyue shoe store

Yunshan road

Boss Jiang Yuexin was a worker in a rubber overshoes factory in his early years.

After being laid off, I opened this shoe store in order to survive.

Rely on acquaintances' purchase channels and their own good craftsmanship.

This small shop for buying and repairing shoes has been open for half a lifetime.

Lao Jiang retired last year.

I also have a good retirement salary.

The shoe store is no longer the place where he supports his family.

With the relocation of the house

This small shop is rented from the provincial installation company.

Will soon become the history of Lanxi.

This group of men who drink tea and play cards together are no longer young.

Compared with the business of small shops.

The sunshine every day and the complaints of card friends may be more important.

Lingzhi clinic

Fuxing road

Ganoderma lucidum clinic has nothing to do with "Ganoderma lucidum".

This is a closed family clinic.

The couple started this small clinic after they retired from the factory doctor.

Because everyone calls his wife Dr. Lin.

Her husband, Dr. Sun, took Ganoderma lucidum.

Today, this couple is over eighty.

I no longer feel the pulse or auscultate the patient.

The once black hair faded a little.

It is no longer as lively as when I first retired.

But on that sunny afternoon 27 years ago,

The old man painted "Ganoderma lucidum" on the wall with a ladder.

It is as vigorous and powerful as the floating jadeite and flowing elixir 27 years ago.

Dr. Sun and Dr. Lin 16 years old participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

In the 1970s, he was transferred to Lanxi as a military doctor.

During this period, I trained my son who also studied medicine.

Retired in the early 1990 s to open a clinic

Now they live together every day.

Actually there are many family clinics in Lanxi.

But there are not many couples like Ganoderma lucidum.

Time flies like water.

There are fewer collocations like "Ganoderma lucidum"

Only the people behind know about the company.

Lanjiang laotongtai sales department

Huanglongdong market

Huanglongdong market was originally just a small piece.

A clearing, some tents.

There are only twenty or thirty shops.

Laojin's Japanese goods store is 10.

Later, the market transformed Laojin's shop and moved to its present position.

Also registered the outlet store of Laotongtai.

Moreover, the sales department of Yunshan Road * * * has factory direct sales rights.

The former Japanese goods store has become a seasoning store.

It was once a gold shop with superior conditions.

Time flies, and it is decades.

People are no longer keen on local spices with the same taste.

I don't even like a little discount anymore.

Laojin's shop has changed from a seasoning shop to a Japanese goods shop.

In fact, Laotongtai has three products.

Soy sauce monosodium glutamate chicken essence

But people can taste more than three flavors.

Fulai shop

Yunshan road

Frye's shop is run by Frye and his wife.

I opened this shop after being laid off from the porcelain factory.

Later, although I also found other jobs, I closed the store.

But I went around and came back here.

This building used to be the salesroom of monosodium glutamate factory at No.9 Gongnong Road.

There were many state-owned enterprises nearby at that time.

Is everyone busy doing business together?

Later, this block was rebuilt.

Things are changing with each passing day

Frye's shop sells sugar, cigarettes, wine and water in this way.

Today's Frye store is finally facing demolition.

This change is twenty years late.

In fact, this did not make the rich couple feel anxious.

They seem happy to change their retirement life.

But those old colleagues who often come here don't think so.

They like this chat base.

I like the huge camphor trees and the cool river wind.

Although people can buy rich goods elsewhere.

But this nostalgia

String together memories of youth.

Shine in the lost time

Take a sip of green tea in a porcelain cup.

Take a long breath with attachment.

Red sorghum Guandong wine shop

Caojia road

Red Sorghum is actually Aunt Qian.

As a winery selling Lanxi specialty wine,

Aunt Qian and her husband opened this small shop twenty years ago.

The husband makes wine and the wife opens a shop.

The first half of soju, the second half of yellow wine.

This is the code word for the store and the customers.

Lotus seed wine that is delicious in summer is an addiction that many people can't quit.

Today's "Aunt Qian" has customers from all over the world.

Nobody cares if this shop has the name red sorghum.

What they are looking for is a difficult storefront location and Aunt Qian's bright smiling face.

From reed to buckwheat, from rice to sorghum

From Youbu to Meijiang, from southwest to northeast.

Aunt Qian embodies the flavor of the years.

Just to let the lips and teeth taste the wine.

Za qi za ba flea market

Chezhan east road

No Lanxi people don't know all kinds of things.

This is the largest flea market in Lanxi.

In the name of "take everything and sell everything"

I met all the curious people.

With the increasing fame.

Also out of curiosity:

"How much can I sell my old things?"

"What useful things can I buy?"

Become expecting:

"Miscellaneous receipt"

"Go to the flea market to find something good."

As the years passed, the warehouse gradually expanded.

There are countless exchange owners here.

Whether with emotion or sadness.

There is an equal angle here.

Whether it's a purposeful acquisition

Or Taobao picks up shells in the sand sea.

In this huge flea market

Like many second-hand goods.

Be treated with equality and tolerance.

The three shops open together every morning.

The pastry shop bakes newly made cakes.

Aunt Pan and her husband began to make quilts.

Fluffy cotton wool and fragrant shortbread

At this small corner

Secret contact.

Naturally, no one noticed the faint cake fragrance on the quilt.

People are concerned that this family has been making quilts for 24 or 5 years.

An old shop with human feelings and body temperature.

Aunt Pan and her husband have worked here for more than twenty years.

Gave birth to a daughter and a son.

Children studied and lived in this old house in their early years.

Now my daughter is slim.

My son also works hard in Class One of Senior High School.

A heavy rain last year destroyed the old house.

They decided to move the shop to the old pharmaceutical company.

Everything was new then.

It's just that the craft is old.

It also ushered in a new future.

Ancestral herbal medicine

lanxi city

"Ancestral Herbs" have three identical house numbers.

Although they are all old and new.

But boss Wu doesn't want to lose any piece.

That's because of his love of herbs.

To this day, boss Wu still insists on collecting medicinal materials and processing them himself.

After 30 years of medical practice, 800 kinds of medicinal materials.

It is presented to customers by this small shop.

The starting point of "ancestral herbs"

Let's talk about the grandfather of Boss Wu Ma Jian first.

At that time, medical care was not so developed.

People rely on oral herbs to treat diseases.

Later, many Chinese medicine practitioners faded out of people's field of vision.

When Dr. Wu adapts to the new era,

One side will spare no effort to leave the ancestral prescription.

Nowadays, the rivers and lakes of old Chinese medicine practitioners have long been different.

Many folk remedies with slow curative effect are no longer taken seriously.

But sometimes Chinese medicine can still

It can cure diseases and pains in a cheap and effective way.

Adhering to this, Mr. Wu actively studies and communicates.

Apply for a formal "Chinese medicine qualification certificate" for your store.

Establish a Chinese herbal medicine research institute and offer Chinese herbal medicine health care courses

I hope that Chinese medicine culture can educate people with a scientific attitude.

Times have been changing.

But boss Wu was born with no change at all.

Inherit the heart handed down a hundred years ago.

One hundred years later, it still brings harmony to life.

Laozhou maintenance department

Fuxing road

Lao Zhou's shop is the oldest house in this area.

For twenty years, he watched the hillside turn over, Gai Lou.

In that era when plastics were not popular.

Lao Zhou relied on the craft of processing iron sheets.

Making bowls, pots and jars for family after family.

afterwards

People no longer need iron utensils.

Every household also bought home appliances.

Lao Zhou began to repair all kinds of electrical appliances for everyone.

In fact, there are not many people repairing electrical appliances now.

Everyone likes to buy new ones.

So Lao Zhou's maintenance department has a lot of leisure.

Although the craft has not been lost, the "baby" in my hand is much less.

Now things have changed.

Lao Zhou has long been replaced by Zhou Xiao.

In a few years.

Zhou Xiao will also become Lao Zhou, right?

Ji Guo grain and edible oil sales department

lianhua road

This simple shop on Lianhua Road

Has been standing here quietly for more than twenty years.

The new rice was shipped directly from Jiangsu and Anhui.

The delivery place of "local rice" is Longyou.

They gathered here and were transported to all parts of Lanxi.

There were not so many supermarkets in the past.

Shopkeepers usually sell one thing.

So there are many "grain and oil shops", "tobacco hotels" and "daily chemical shops"

Ji Guo is one of the earliest grain and oil stores in Lanxi.

The share of internet sales is increasing.

Previous regular customers have also closed down one after another.

The business of grain and oil stores is also not as good as before.

It's also much easier for Lao Guo.

Lao Guo doesn't have to run around like he did when he was young.

The help of his son and daughter-in-law also made him relaxed a lot.

Decades of busyness finally ushered in a long vacation.

Although business is not as prosperous as before.

But the strength of the store has settled.

Zhu Longxing

Yunshan road

The origin of Zhu Longxing has never been explained clearly.

According to the proprietress.

It was left by my grandparents.

In addition to the font size, there is also the craft.

But Zhu Longxing's story is worth reading.

In the 1990s, Yunshan Road was now very narrow.

Zhu Longxing opened an octagonal well in front of the opposite door at that time.

Father and three brothers sit in the street every day to make a steamer.

At that time, a craft was a rice bowl.

Later, the old shop and Bajiaojing became roads.

Zhu Longxing moved to the opposite side of the old shop.

Zhu Longxing's steamer is very famous in Lanxi.

First, select bamboo and break it, then peel it and smooth it.

Then the hard bamboo pieces are softened into woven cages.

All these complicated steps are concentrated in this old house.

Many time-honored brands in Lanxi have disappeared in the changes.

And Zhu Longxing's steamer craft.

Because there is no machine to replace it.

In the hands of hardworking second brother.

Now this little bluestone facade

Outside bloom, people come and go.

A hundred years of loneliness and glory

End—

The barber shop when I was a child, the shop in the alley.

There used to be an institution in every community. ...

These small shops that have served each of us.

Although I want to be crowded and even messy.

But every time I think about it, I always feel nostalgic.

Is it nostalgia? probably

But the answer that will really be remembered.

It may be a warm human touch.
