Listening to Mingruo's footsteps getting further away, Si Haochen said to Xiaobai squatting at the door: "Follow her."
Xiao Bai glanced at Si Haochen, walked to the fire pond and lay down, not even bothering to raise his eyelids. Si Haochen was so angry that he grinded his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Li Dahai was good at making charcoal. Buyers ordered the charcoal he burned to be sent to two mansions and a restaurant, and the rest was sold in the market. After entering the town, Li Dahai first delivered it to each house.
When I got the charcoal, I heard that she wanted to sell medicinal materials, so I took her to the pharmacy where I used to sell wild ginseng.
As soon as Mingruo entered the pharmacy, a clerk came up to him and asked, "Does the girl want to see a doctor or take medicine?"
"I have Shouwu here, does your shop accept it?" Mingruo asked.
The boy saw that Mingruo was young and didn't look like a herb picking girl sleeping in the open air: "Take it out first and let me see if it's Polygonum multiflorum."
Mingruo didn't say anything else and just took the Polygonum multiflorum out of the basket on his back. The little boy's eyes widened when he saw it. My dear mother, this is the first time he has seen such a big Polygonum multiflorum in his life.
Mingruo saw the waiter dumbfounded and had to remind him: "Does your shop accept it? If you don't accept it, I'll go to another store and ask."
"Girl, wait a minute." He couldn't decide on such a good medicinal material, so he said respectfully, "I'll ask the shopkeeper to come over and talk to the girl."
The shopkeeper bargained with Mingruo and finally accepted the Polygonum multiflorum for fifty taels of silver.
Mingruo had seen the accounts of a medicine hall. Fifty taels of Polygonum multiflorum of this size was not a high price. But this town was not as good as the imperial capital, so it was probably difficult to give a higher price. Anyway, he was not trying to make money, so he was directly
Selling medicinal materials is only for emergency purposes.
Mingruo took the money and went straight to the clothing store. Although Li Dahai said that this was the best clothing store in the town, Mingruo looked at the clothes inside and they were really... not good. Especially the inner clothes were made very rough, Mingruo felt that
I would rather wear a hospital gown to deal with it.
Mingruo chose two sets of fine cotton winter clothes for each of herself and Si Haochen, which were thick and low-key. Together with shoes, socks and cotton cloaks, they packed two large bags.
Li Dahai followed Mingruo and watched her go to the pastry shop to buy candied pastries, go to the grocery store to buy wooden boxes, candlesticks and candles, buy books at the bookstore, and even pick up a beautiful flower from the cloth shop.
The cloth is meant to be used as curtains... This is such a fine floral cloth that most people would be reluctant to buy when they want to make clothes, but Miss Ming actually wants to use it to block the windows.
After walking down the busiest street in the town, Li Dahai was already frightened by Miss Ming's ability to spend money. In a short time, he spent more than thirty taels of silver... Li Dahai wondered how rich Miss Ming would be in the future.
Only my husband can afford to support her! (Si Haochen: This king not only has money, but also a fiefdom.)
After accompanying Mingruo to complete the purchase, Li Dahai went to the market to sell the remaining basket of charcoal. This market was specially set up for people from surrounding villages to sell vegetables, eggs and meat. Some people also sold some self-woven cloth and mountain charcoal.
Mingruo bought some dried mushrooms and bacon. When he saw someone selling black fish, he quickly bought one. This black fish stew is very filling.
Li Dahai's charcoal was sold quickly today, and Mingruo came back at noon. He moved large and small bags into the house, and Mingruo made fish soup before starting to sort out the things he bought.
Ming Ruo first showed the winter clothes he bought for Si Haochen: "The sky blue and black colors you like are just not very good, so you can make do with them first."
"Yeah." Si Haochen suddenly felt that it would be nice for them to be an ordinary couple just like they are now. There are no calculations or fights in life, and what they care about most every day is daily necessities.
The injury on Si Haochen's shoulder has healed. Mingruo moved the table to the bedside so that he could sit up and eat by himself. The fish soup was brought to the table. When he opened the lid of the soup pot, the aroma filled the air. The fish soup was stewed.
Milky white. If you add wolfberry to the soup, it will look particularly beautiful.
Lunch is very simple, black fish soup, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of white rice per person. Normally when dining in the house, there are at least seven or eight dishes, delicious food and beautiful utensils. Now on this thin table, there is only one dish and one soup, and the dishes are all rough
Porcelain.
Mingruo put the chopsticks in Si Haochen's hand: "Try to see if you can use chopsticks."
She pouted slightly, and her eyes were like clear spring water. Si Haochen could even see his own shadow reflected in her beautiful pupils.
Si Haochen raised his hand, without taking the chopsticks, and touched her cheek. At this time, he realized that his love was so shallow. Everything Mingruo could give him was all here, and it was the best she could get.
.
But what about him? The fine clothes and accessories he had given her were so shabby in front of these plain cotton clothes. What he had given her in the past was nothing more than random things.
Seeing Si Haochen caressing his cheek, Mingruo was a little confused: "Is there something on my face?"
"It's soot." Si Haochen brushed off the non-existent soot for her, then took back his hand and sorted out his emotions.
"Oh." Mingruo wiped it himself, then gave Si Haochen a bowl of fish soup, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
"It tastes good." Si Haochen replied without hesitation.
"Are you going to be so perfunctory?" Ming Ruo said angrily, "You haven't even drank yet..."
"Everything you cook is delicious." Si Haochen's lips curved into a gentle smile.
"Uh..." Mingruo's little heart stuttered for a while. Si Haochen's face, which brought disaster to the country and the people, coupled with a smile that was warmer than the sun, was simply a foul.
"Is the town fun?" Si Haochen took a sip of soup.
"It's quite lively, but even selling things isn't very good." Ming Ruo thinks that the most interesting thing is this valley. It's so warm and pleasant in winter. It would be great to build a house here to avoid the cold. Ming Ruo figured it out.
money, "Do you think this valley can be sold? If so, how much will it cost?"
"Do you like it here?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded honestly, "This valley is very livable."
"Winter in Nanrong is not as cold as Donghuan, right?" Si Haochen suddenly said.
Si Haochen jumped on the topic a bit quickly. Mingruo searched the memory of the original owner and nodded in reply: "Yes, there is no need to wear big sweaters."
"Yeah." Si Haochen decided to let Bai Shen take care of the valley after returning.
In the afternoon, Aunt Li came for acupuncture again. She recovered well and was able to come to Mingruo for acupuncture on her own.
After administering the acupuncture, Mingruo gave her half a month's worth of medicine: "There will be no need for acupuncture from tomorrow on, and there is no need to take these medicines after finishing them."
"Thank you so much, Miss Ming. You really saved our family." Aunt Li wiped her eyes, "When we built a new house at home, I was going to marry Dahai, but then I fell ill. Treatment is a bottomless pit without a girl.
I am willing to get married. I have also thought about dying, but I am reluctant to leave the sea alone..."
