Halfway through the journey, Zisu and Jiyue were sewing new clothes, and Mingruo was thinking about what flashy and cheap things to give as gifts to Emperor Danxu.
On this day, the big ship docked at a dock and needed to replenish food, fruits, vegetables and fresh water.
Mingruo heard the noise outside, like a market, and came out of the cabin: "Why is this pier so busy?"
"This is also the wharf where foreign merchant ships enter the customs. It is also close to our Donghuan. There is also a shopping mall next to the wharf, so it is much more lively than other wharves." The boatman on the ship replied quickly.
Si Haochen seemed very interested in Mingruo: "Would you like to go ashore and have a look?"
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded repeatedly.
"Then let's go." Si Haochen stretched out his hand.
Mingruo took out the veil and put it on, then put her hand in Si Haochen's hand, not forgetting to ask the bag-carrying boy Shi Shi to follow.
The market mainly sells food crops and cloth, with relatively few exquisite handicrafts.
Ming Ruo's eyes lit up when she saw the unshelled highland barley in the basket. She tugged on Si Haochen's sleeves: "This kind of crop is cold-resistant and can grow in barren land, so it is very suitable for the Northwest Army."
Farming.”
"Okay." Si Haochen made a gesture, and the secret guards went to buy it.
Mingruo purchased a lot of spices such as black pepper and cumin. After turning around a stall, he saw a stall selling various dried seafood. Mingruo bought a lot of dried foods such as fish maw, sea cucumbers, and scallops.
, I found that the store actually kept two arowanas in large wooden basins.
Mingruo pointed to the big fish with golden scales: "Shop, how do you sell this fish?"
"This..." the shopkeeper said with a smile, "to be honest, this is the topping that people give when buying imported goods. It's not very tasty, but it looks pretty good when kept. My wife bought these things from us.
, if you want this fish, it’s fifteen taels of silver each.”
Mingruo thought for a while, the golden arowana raised by his grandfather cost at least hundreds of thousands of soft sister coins each, which sounds cheap: "I want both of these."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to help you get on the boat!" The shopkeeper also wanted to sell it quickly. He sells dried fish and doesn't know how to raise fish. If it dies, he can only take it home and stew it.
eat.
Mingruo was also very happy and asked Shi Shi to lead the way.
Si Haochen only knew that this little girl liked raising furry little things. Did she like raising fish again? "I'll get you a pond to raise when I get home."
"This fish is kept in a fish tank, so you can just find a bigger fish tank." Ming Ruo thought for a moment and then said, "It should be nicer, but it's better not to exceed twenty taels of silver."
"What are you trying to do?" Si Haochen knew his princess very well. She was greedy for money, but she didn't really care too much about how much money everything cost.
"Isn't the Shouning Festival coming soon?" Mingruo didn't feel embarrassed at all for preparing a gift of less than fifty taels of silver for the emperor. After all, the gift last year didn't cost any money.
"Pfft." Si Haochen was amused by the little girl's stinginess.
"Ahem, etiquette is less important than affection. This is the golden arowana, and it has such a good meaning." Mingruo worked hard to sell the golden arowana.
"Well, it's really good." Si Haochen even doubted that if he hadn't happened to see this live fish, the little girl could come up with a ridiculous name for the dried salted fish, and then wrap it up and give it to Dan Xu as a birthday gift. (Ming Ruo
Opposite finger: This fish is called arowana, I didn’t just make it up to save money.)
In order to ensure that the golden arowana could survive until the day when he gave Emperor Danxu a birthday gift, Mingruo added some well water to the large wooden basin where the fish was raised, and asked Lithospermum striata to get some small fish and shrimps to feed the golden arowana every day.
By the time they returned to the imperial capital, it was already late autumn.
I first spent two days repairing it in the mansion, and then went to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion with the gifts I prepared to visit my grandfather and grandmother.
Yan Yuan personally wrote a letter to inform them of the death of Queen Wen De. Ming Ruo was afraid that the old Duke and Mrs. Su would be too sad, so he also sent back some pills to stabilize their emotions and regulate their bodies.
Looking at it now, the two old people are in good spirits, but Mrs. Su looks a little haggard.
"Are your third uncle and fourth uncle at home too?" Mingruo greeted the two uncles.
"It's pretty safe over the border now, so we'll come back to celebrate the Moon Festival, and wait until the end of the year to celebrate the New Year for your eldest uncle and second uncle." said the third uncle.
"Oh." Mingruo didn't know much about the war, so he didn't know much about the war. He just felt that the eldest prince of Xikang was restless, and he didn't know if he would cause another trouble.
Ming Ruo checked the pulses of the old man and Mrs. Su, and said that medicine to regulate the body would be sent the next day.
After having lunch at the Duke's Mansion, Ming Ruo served Mrs. Su and rested before taking Zi Su to a medicine hall.
"Master, you are back." Nan Xing had just delivered a customized 'tonic cooking package' to Mr. Zhu's house. When he came back, he saw Ming Ruo getting off the carriage.
"Well, what did you do?"
"Mrs. Zhu is pregnant. Mr. Zhu ordered a medicated diet to support the fetus in our medicine hall. I sent the medicated diet." Nan Xing said with a smile.
"Master Zhu got what he wanted, and he didn't receive the silver needle from your master in vain." Mingruo pointed to several boxes in the carriage and said, "These are medicines, which should be moved to the medicine hall in front; these are food and cloth, which should be moved to the medicine hall in front of you.
Go to the backyard.”
"Okay, Master, please go in first, and I'll call the nursing home brother to move the things." Nan Xing called the nursing home brother first, moved everything in, and then hurriedly went to tell the master that the master was back.
As soon as Shen Cong heard that his master was back, he settled the patients who were being treated and hurried to the back house.
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "Master, you are finally back!"
"Why do you say this every time...Didn't I send someone to deliver medicine?" Mingruo scratched his chin.
"Medicine alone won't do it. As for Princess Ping's face, the course of treatment is about to end. You haven't taught me how to treat it further." Shen Cong continued, "And Mr. He, too.
Came for follow-up consultation."
"What Mr. He?" Mingruo couldn't remember which one it was.
Shen Cong looked at himself as if he were looking at a treacherous 'scumbag': "Ahem, it's that Qian Liang."
That was the first time Shen Cong saw someone offering such a high medical fee, so his memory was particularly profound.
"Oh, he's here to remove the steel plate." When Ming Ruo mentioned one thousand taels, he really thought of Mr. He who suffered a comminuted fracture of his leg bone.
"Yes, Mr. He has been waiting for you for more than half a month." Shen Cong knew that the consultation fee would definitely be useful.
"Can't you take out the steel plate now?" Mingruo scratched his chin.
"I can be a disciple, but Mr. He only believes in you." Shen Cong spread his hands helplessly.
"Okay." Mingruo still understood the patient's mood better, "Where are the others?"
"Mr. He is staying at the inn. He left us his address. When you plan to see a doctor, I'll just ask Nan Xing to let you know."
