The soup noodles and shredded pork were also very fragrant. Ming Ruo smiled and said to Si Haochen, "It's quite delicious."
"What you make tastes better." Si Haochen responded.
"..." Mingruo knew his cooking skills well, but Si Haochen gave such praise without conscience. Wouldn't his conscience hurt?
After the two finished eating noodles, Mingruo followed his memory and found the pharmacy where Polygonum multiflorum was sold last time.
The waiter obviously still remembered Mingruo and asked with a smile: "Do you have any medicinal materials to sell when you come here?"
"Yes." Mingruo nodded, "Do you want to collect the Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Ah! Ganoderma lucidum..." the waiter said as he ran to the back hall, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll go find the shopkeeper."
After some counter-offering, Ganoderma lucidum was sold for one hundred and thirty taels.
"Girl, if you pick any medicinal materials in the future, just send them over, and I will definitely give you the best price." The shopkeeper did not forget to gain favor at the end.
"Okay." Mingruo agreed, but in his heart he felt that the money was enough to get out of here.
"Where to go next?" Si Haochen asked.
"Well... what should I prepare for the New Year?" Mingruo thought for a long time, not knowing exactly what to buy. In the past, at home, she didn't need to do anything about these things. Later, when she studied abroad and worked abroad, she didn't prepare anything in particular.
Just go to the supermarket to buy some snacks, dried fruits and so on.
"..." This question also stopped Si Haochen. He had never cared about these trivial matters. But...it would be nice if others bought what they bought. Si Haochen pointed to many people.
The stalls surrounded by "Go there and have a look."
Before I even walked over, I heard the waiter yelling: "Sesame candy, peanut candy, osmanthus candy, osmanthus candy... Eat sweets during the Chinese New Year. It will be sweet and happy in the new year..."
"You can have this." Mingruo looked at the candy bars of various flavors, picked a few and asked the waiter to weigh them and wrap them.
Si Haochen took the candy bag and threw it directly into his backpack.
"Meow~" Xiaobai, who was taking a nap, was startled and glared angrily at the mean-spirited man with a joking look on his face.
"Um..." Mingruo said angrily, "Why do you always bully Xiaobai?"
"I didn't." Si Haochen had already returned to the ice-faced prince, not noticing the joke just now.
Under Si Haochen's guidance, they bought more - red lanterns, peach charms, window grilles, pastries, dried and fresh fruits...
"It should be almost done..." There were already more people on the street, and Si Haochen didn't see many pedestrians buying other things.
"Oh." Mingruo was also tired from shopping. He looked up and saw a ready-made clothing store. He grabbed Si Haochen's sleeve and said, "I forgot to buy new clothes."
"Then buy it."
This shop must be newly opened, and there is still a slight smell of paint and wood in the shop.
"Girl, what do you want to choose? Our goods are all from the imperial capital. There are so many kinds of materials..." The waiter saw that there were customers coming and he hurriedly came up to say hello.
"Let's just take a look." Mingruo found that the clothes in this shop did look more high-end than the last one. But they were still far from the standard of clothes His Royal Highness Prince Yun usually wore.
Mingruo pointed to a silver-gray brocade robe and said, "Show me this one."
The waiter brought the robe over and Mingruo touched it on Si Haochen: "Do you like it?"
"It's up to you to decide." Si Haochen replied noncommittally.
Mingruo estimated that with Si Haochen's taste, there was no clothes in this store that he could like. Mingruo immediately decided to take it, and also chose a headband of the same color with silver thread embroidery.
The waiter happily packed up the clothes and accessories and left after paying the money.
"Don't you want to buy it?" Si Haochen asked with a frown.
"I don't need it... I bought a brand new one before and haven't worn it yet."
"In that case, I don't have to buy it." Si Haochen thought it was funny. He was very considerate of buying things for him, and it was good for him. Suddenly he felt like he was eating soft food, which was not good.
Si Haochen pointed to a set of light purple jackets and skirts and said to the waiter, "Wrap this set too."
"Please wait a moment, sir." The waiter was busy packing clothes.
Mingruo came close to Si Haochen and asked thiefly: "Do you have any money? Just buy clothes..."
"..." Si Haochen really didn't think about this question, "You can lend it to me first and I will return it to you when I return home."
Mingruo patted the money bag: "This is a loan shark, are you sure you want to borrow it?"
"OK." Si Haochen nodded calmly.
"The interest is compounded, so I'll have to pay back a lot of money later." Ming Ruo felt like he was Ming Shiren who cheated Si Bai Lao.
"How about I write a note now and hand over the palace to you?" Si Haochen's tone was serious, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"This is only a few taels of silver, which is enough to cover a house. You are too wasteful..." This 'Si Bailao' is very wealthy and can't be offended.
Mingruo said he wanted to buy some more rice and noodles. When he passed by the market, someone was selling fresh mutton. Mingruo's eyes lit up, but he didn't have all the seasonings in his hand. He couldn't eat spicy hot pot, but he could use mutton. Mingruo bought it.
After buying two kilograms of mutton and grain, there were too many things to carry.
They hired a carriage in the town and went back with the New Year's goods they purchased. The carriage could not enter the valley. The last part of the journey was carried by Xiaobai carrying grain, Si Haochen carrying a basket on his back, and Mingruo carrying clothes.
Mingruo asked worriedly: "Is it heavy? Will the incision hurt?"
"It's nothing." Si Haochen didn't take the injury seriously at all.
Xiaobai rolled his eyes, his basket was so heavy, it was not as good as Master Tiger carrying a fraction of it.
Mingruo sorted out the things she bought and started preparing lunch.
Si Haochen looked on from the side: "Do you want my help?"
"Yes." Mingruo brought the mutton to Si Haochen, "Cut the meat into slices, the thinner the better."
Si Haochen rolled up his sleeves, looked at the mutton for a while, and then started cutting it.
"Stop, stop, stop." Mingruo picked up a piece of meat cut by Si Haochen with her fingers, and it turned out to be translucent. It seemed that she had underestimated His Royal Highness Prince Yun's knife skills.
"What?" Si Haochen looked at Mingruo in confusion.
"It doesn't have to be so thin..." Mingruo stacked three slices of meat, "This thickness is enough."
"Yeah." Si Haochen continued to cut the meat at an astonishing speed.
Mingruo washed the vegetables and started to prepare the dipping sauce.
After Si Haochen finished cutting the meat, he also found his niche in helping the cook: "Is there anything else you want to cut?"
"Cut this radish into thin slices too." Mingruo put the washed radish on the chopping board.
"good."
Mingruo discovered that Si Haochen was simply a slicing machine with no emotions, and could cut anything quickly and well.
"When the money runs out, you go to the restaurant to cut vegetables and make money." Mingruo joked.
"If you become a cook, I will."
"I am a doctor..."
"Then I'll help you cut the medicine." Si Haochen's lips curved.
