Having received instructions from the eldest young master, the kitchen manager emptied Xiao Yunying's basket and told her to wait there while he went to get the silver notes.
With the added bonus of silver, Xiao Yunying smiled even more sincerely at Chen Yuancheng.
Chen Yuancheng looked at the chubby, fair-skinned girl in front of him, whose big eyes were smiling into crescent shapes, and his mood inexplicably improved.
He coughed and said to her, "The Chen family's kitchen buys fresh ingredients every day. If you get anything good in the future, you can send it over directly. Don't worry about the price; it will be fair. This will save you from not knowing the price and buying things cheaper on the street."
Xiao Yunying smiled even more happily: "That's wonderful, thank you, young master."
The Chen family mansion is quite large and looks very wealthy. If we can get in touch with them, we might need their help someday.
There were two young masters here. The person in charge ran there and ran back, giving Xiao Yunying eighty taels of silver and asking her about other ways to prepare snow fungus.
Xiao Yunying explained in detail what she knew about making snow fungus, politely said goodbye to Chen Yuancheng, and left with a maid.
Chen Yuancheng watched Xiao Yunying leave, and Chen Yuanxuan next to him said, "Brother, that fat girl said that snow fungus is good for coughs, maybe it's good for asthma too, why don't you eat more of it?"
"With my body, it's a waste to eat anything other than elixirs and magic pills; it won't get better."
He still remembered what he overheard the doctor telling his parents when he was young: they had to stay in the room and take good care of him at all times, otherwise he might not live past the age of fifteen.
It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid. How many people can calmly face the possibility of dying young?
His parents thought he didn't know, and he didn't say anything, but he was indignant. There were so many people in the world, why was it that he was the one who got this incurable wheezing disease?
Driven by a defiant spirit, wanting to prove that he was no different from ordinary people, he refused to listen to his parents and locked himself in his room all day, often sneaking out, only to be discovered before even leaving the mansion.
Once, while fleeing, he passed through a garden and hid in the flower bushes to avoid the passing servants. He fell ill after inhaling the pollen.
When he woke up, he saw his strong-willed mother sitting by the bed, her eyes red from crying. When she saw that he had woken up, she turned her back to him, wiped away her tears, and pretended that nothing was wrong to comfort him, or rather, to deceive him, saying that once he recovered, he would be allowed to go out of the mansion to travel.
At that moment, he resigned himself to his fate.
That's fine, it doesn't matter anymore. He's not making a fuss anymore. He can't keep making his parents worry about him, that would be too unfilial.
I don't know if it's because I relaxed my mindset and followed the doctor's advice, but now that I'm eighteen, I'm still alive and well.
But he also knew that he was only relying on medicine to prolong his life; this broken body was not destined for longevity.
They are very fragile; if you're not careful, they could very well end up sleeping forever.
"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Yuanxuan's voice interrupted Chen Yuancheng's recollection. He lowered his head and said, "I was wondering if you had finished the homework your father left for you before he went to the capital. Judging by the days, your father will be back in a month."
Chen Yuanxuan tossed the rattan ball nonchalantly: "There's still a month left, no rush, we'll do it tomorrow."
"You said the same thing half a month ago."
"Brother, there's no rush. It can be finished in half a month."
Chen Yuancheng said no more: "Very good."
He stopped at the archway and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Father wrote yesterday saying that things are done and he will be back ahead of schedule. According to Father's letter, he should be home in about ten days. Yuanxuan, you have to work hard. I wish you good luck."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
"ah!"
Thinking of his father's dark face, Chen Yuanxuan let out a wail and chased after him:
"Big brother, you can't just abandon me! You have to find a way to help me, I can't finish in ten days!"
Chen Yuancheng's voice came from afar: "Yuanxuan, our handwriting is completely different. Father can recognize it at a glance. There's nothing I can do. You'd better take care of yourself."
Chen Yuanxuan thought about it and realized it was true. He stopped bothering his brother, threw the ball, and ran to his own yard.
If I start staying up all night every day, I should be able to finish it.
Anyway, it's better than not writing a single word. If his dad finds out, he'll spank him until he's bruised and battered!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yunying, who had already left the mansion, was unaware of the two brothers' playful antics and happily took the silver notes to the money exchange.
To her, it was just a piece of paper, nothing more. It didn't give her any real money, so she wanted to exchange it all. Anyway, she had somewhere to put it.
Well, her reluctance to admit it was just an excuse. Tonghe Money Shop was the largest and most authoritative money shop in Yi Kingdom, and its reputation was certainly guaranteed.
But paper doesn't give you the same sense of accomplishment as holding a silver ingot. She's just an ordinary person, so let her have her fun first.
He exchanged all the silver notes for five or ten taels of silver and put them into a basket, which was actually a supermarket. He then took out five snow fungus plants, packed them in, and went to Jinxiu Pavilion.
Cheng Yue was entertaining guests when Xiao Yunying quietly walked to the side and sat down, mentally counting the money in the supermarket.
He sold thirty plants at the market and earned 150 taels of silver. He sold ten plants at the Chen family's house and earned 80 taels of silver.
This is her first pot of gold; it should be enough to build a house.
The next step is to find a reason to make the money public so that it can be used with confidence and boldness.
