Chapter 159 He Wants to Eat
Wen Zhenyi shrugged nonchalantly: "When do you plan to open for business?"
"After cleaning up, it will take some time to release the news. It will take at least seven or eight days."
"I want a meat stall."
"Huh?" Cheng Lesheng looked at her doubtfully: "Your family still wants to sell pork?"
"Yes, I've already told the mayor. It should be during this period."
"You're short of money to buy a pig?"
"yes."
"How much do you need? I'll lend it to you."
"No, I just need to get some snacks for the flower viewing party, that's enough."
"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it. My dad told me to tell you to prepare some snacks the day after tomorrow and he will take you there."
"When is the day after tomorrow?"
"After lunch."
"Okay, I got it." Wen Zhenyi calculated that the oven was completed yesterday, and he had the blacksmith make the necessary things for him overnight, so it should be delivered today.
I should be able to test the temperature of the oven tomorrow. If it's okay, there should be plenty of snacks.
Cheng Lesheng gave some instructions to the craftsman and then followed Wen Zhenyi and the children out.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the tail following behind him and asked: "Master Cheng is not going back?"
"I plan to go find Han Xing."
"He's in the store."
Cheng Lesheng didn't leave either, and continued to follow her.
Benben took her hand and said, "Sister Wen, why is this brother following us all the time?"
Wen Zhen glanced at the person behind him and whispered, "He wants to get some free food."
After hearing this, Benben covered his mouth and laughed: "That's because my sister's cooking is so delicious."
Wen Zhenyi took them to the pharmacy. He wanted to buy some medicinal herbs to make herbal tea in the afternoon.
There are a lot of patients in the pharmacy today, all queuing up to see a doctor.
Doctor Wan was taking a patient's pulse. When he saw her come in, he could only nod and continue asking about the patient's condition.
Mantou looked around curiously: "Sister Wen, what are we doing here?"
"We came here to buy some herbs for making herbal tea."
“Are the herbs used in making herbal tea?”
“Some are.”
"But why isn't it tasty at all?"
"Because there are other things added in it." Wen Zhenyi said as he brought a few children to the medicine cabinet.
The medicine boy saw her and smiled and said, "Miss Wen, what do you want to buy today?"
"Lotus fruit, honeysuckle, selfheal, frangipani, ragweed leaf, vanilla, licorice..." Wen Zhenyi told him a string of medicinal names.
The little medicine boy remembered everything and started to prepare medicine for her.
Gousheng looked at the many small compartments on the medicine cabinet and said, "There are so many medicines here."
"The medicine here can cure diseases and save lives."
"Sister Wen, is the doctor very powerful?"
"Yes, he can save a lot of people."
Cheng Lesheng came over, fanning himself, and seeing that she had bought quite a few herbs, he asked, "Are the herbal teas in your shop made from these?"
"I guess so."
"But why don't I see you selling herbal tea every day?"
"Drinking too much herbal tea is not good for your health and should not be consumed frequently."
"I see."
Wen Zhenyi paid for the herbs and returned to the shop with the children and a tail.
Shen Hanxing saw Cheng Lesheng lying on the counter with a playful smile on his face: "Why are you here?"
"Now if I want to find you, I have no choice but to come here."
"If you want to eat, find a place to sit. If you need anything, please wait for me in the backyard."
"What if I'm here for a free meal?"
Chen Hanxing raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Turn around and go out, turn left, I won't see you off."
"You are such a heartless guy." Then he ran to sit next to him.
Shen Hanxing looked disgusted and simply ignored him.
Ma Yinghe was very happy to see him: "Master Cheng is here."
"Aunt Wen, I'd like to have a meal."
"Okay, but we'll have dinner late."
"It's okay, I'm not hungry."
Ma Yinghe also told the guests today that they will have a day off tomorrow so that everyone will not miss out.
"Why do you want to rest?"
"Tomorrow the sisters who help in the store have to rest and take the children home. We also have things to do at home, so we can only take one day off."
"Okay." Although the guests were not very happy, they could understand.
Wen Zhenyi went to the backyard to put things away, and didn't know that the store would be closed tomorrow, and no one planned to tell her.
She began to prepare the afternoon herbal tea. She weighed the herbs such as frangipani, selfheal, licorice, honeysuckle, etc., rinsed them with water, and then took them out and put them in the pot to soak for half an hour.
After half an hour, bring it to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for the time it takes to cook two cups of tea.
Filter the medicinal residue with gauze, add sugar to melt it, put it on ice to let it cool, and you can drink it at noon.
When the stall was closing in the afternoon, Ma Yinghe told her: "Yiyi, the store will be closed for a day tomorrow."
Wen Zhenyi was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to rest for no reason?"
"Your Aunt Ding and the others will be leaving soon, and we won't be able to handle it. We might as well take a day off."
Wen Zhenyi thought about it and felt that it was indeed time for these aunts to go back and have a day off so that she could think about the snacks she would bring over the day after tomorrow.
After dinner in the afternoon, Aunt You and the others took Hu Zi and the others back before the city gate was closed. They would come back early the next morning.
The yard suddenly became quiet again. Only the three of them were there. Shen Xiucai and the others had also left today.
But she always felt that everyone was a little strange today, as if they were hiding something from her.
When she wanted to ask something, Ma Yinghe pulled Wen Chengwen back to the room to sleep, leaving her alone in the yard.
Wen Zhen blinked his eyes. What happened?
Did she make someone angry today? Why are they all acting so weird?
With a head full of questions, she went back to her room to sleep. When she woke up and was about to get busy, she remembered that she had a day off today, so she turned over and sat up.
"Yi Yi, are you awake?" The kind voice of Old Lady Wen came from outside the door.
Wen Zhenyi was fully awake. Without even putting on her coat, she casually put on her shoes and went to open the door. She saw the smiling old lady Wen outside the door: "Grandma, you're here."
"You kid, why did you run out without even putting on your shoes and socks? Go back quickly." Old Lady Wen came into the house with a package in her hand and pushed her back into the room. She put the package on the table and opened it.
Wen Zhenyi saw a brand new set of clothes inside. It was a light yellow color with small white flowers embroidered on the cuffs and neckline. It looked very beautiful.
"Grandma, did you make me new clothes?"
Mrs. Wen smiled and nodded: "Yes, put it on and let me see."
Wen Zhenyi liked the clothes very much. He put them on and found that they fit him perfectly.
Mrs. Wen took a look yesterday and nodded with satisfaction: "My Yi Yi looks good in anything she wears."
"Grandma, please don't do it for me anymore. It hurts my eyes. I already have enough clothes."
