This time, Shen Liang used a different excuse.
"Shopkeeper, I've recently married a wife, but she's rather cold and unsociable. Is there any medicine that can make her more affectionate towards me?"
The shopkeeper immediately understood: "Yes, yes, don't worry, young man. Your wife used this medicine, so you'd better be careful."
As she spoke, she handed Shen Liang a packet of medicinal powder.
"Just let your wife smell it, it's very convenient, it only costs one tael of silver."
"What? Just this little bit of powder costs one tael of silver?" Shen Liang frowned.
"Absolutely! This is a miracle drug that can help you have children. Don't think it's too expensive, even if it's just one or two ounces."
Shen Liang felt a pang of heartache, but then he thought, how can one gain the greater if one is unwilling to sacrifice the lesser?
He gritted his teeth and painfully took out one or two taels of silver.
He took the medicine out, looked around, and then walked towards Datian Village.
Once he was out of sight, Fusheng and Acang slipped into the clinic.
"Go away, what are you two doing running in here?" The shopkeeper said, seeing that they were full of energy and didn't look sick.
"Shopkeeper, I'd like to ask what medicine that older brother took away? We'd like to buy some too," A-Cang said.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but chuckle: "You're all so young. That's for weddings. Don't ask too many questions, little kids. Go out from here, turn into the first intersection on the left, there's a candy shop there. Go on, go on."
"Shopkeeper, please tell us what it is." Fusheng moved closer to the shopkeeper: "We won't leave until we find out."
They don't need to buy candy; Sister Lian has it. But they need to bring her more information, more detailed and specific, so they can get more candy and cookies.
"Hey you two brats, what business is it of yours if a customer comes to me to buy medicine? Get out of here, or I'll call for help."
When Fusheng and Leliang saw the two men walking towards them, they lowered their heads and slipped away.
"What should we do? We don't even know what kind of medicine Shen Liang bought." Le Liang looked distressed.
"No rush, let's tell Sister Lian the truth."
As Shen Liang walked back to the village with the medicine in his hand, he pondered to himself that he needed to create an opportunity to be alone with Qiao Xi'er.
However, the Qiao family rarely went out alone. Whether they were working, going up the mountain, or staying at home, they were always in groups of two or more.
Therefore, he needs to wait for the right opportunity.
Even if it's slow, it doesn't matter. As long as it succeeds, it will be a great thing for a lifetime.
It was almost time, so Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Yunni took several layers of steamers down from the big pot. Inside were yellow sweet potato fries, which were now cooked.
Then place the sweet potato strips in a large bamboo tray and expose them to the sun.
The empty steamer was then filled with chopped sweet potato strips and steamed again.
The sweet potato fries in the yard emitted a sweet aroma and began to shrink in the sunlight.
"Lian'er, has it been drying for the required time? Will the sweet potato chips be ready?" Qiao Yunni asked.
"No, Mother. To make dried sweet potatoes, you have to steam and sun-dry them three times. After sun-drying for two days, you have to steam them again for half an hour, then sun-dry them for two more days. At this point, they will start to ooze honey. Then you steam them for another half an hour and sun-dry them for two more days. That's how you make dried sweet potatoes."
Qiao Lian'er wants dried sweet potatoes so everyone can try this snack.
The yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes she grows in her space are of excellent quality and very sweet, making them perfect for making dried sweet potatoes.
Qiao Yunni was a little surprised: "So many steps?"
"Yes, Mother, good things come to those who wait. Let's make a little more, two hundred catties, enough for the family to eat for a month."
Two hundred jin sounds like a lot, but on average, you only eat six or seven jin a day. There are sixteen people in the family, so each person doesn't even get half a jin.
"Okay, then make a little more to save trouble."
As Qiao Yuni spoke, she took another bag of yellow sweet potatoes from the carriage.
She remembered there were sweet potatoes in the carriage, but not this many, but she couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.
As a mother, she was the most perceptive about some things, but she knew that the best approach was to pretend she knew nothing.
The mother and daughter were washing and cutting sweet potatoes in the yard, while the Feng family was in charge of the kitchen, preparing lunch.
