Su Erhu's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, "Thank you, shopkeeper! There are mountains right behind our house. If I ever come across such good game again, I'll definitely send it to Fugui Restaurant first!"
"Alright!" the shopkeeper replied with a smile.
In the past, the game that hunters brought was either dead or covered in blood; it was rare to find one that was so fresh and alive.
At that time, all you need to do is place this rabbit at the entrance of the restaurant.
Isn't this practically a living advertisement for your own restaurant?
The rabbit, with its skin and meat, weighed ten catties, and cost twenty-five coins per catty, totaling two hundred and fifty coins. Su Erhu thanked the shopkeeper.
As they left the restaurant, he immediately took out five copper coins from his bulging money bag and handed them to Li Shan, saying with a smile, "These copper coins are for Brother Li to buy a cup of local wine."
"That won't do!" Li Shan hurriedly tried to decline.
Su Erhu led Su Hua a few quick steps, then turned and waved, "Erhu has things to do today, let's drink together again next time."
After watching the whole thing, Su Hua couldn't help but secretly give Su Erhu a thumbs up.
My second brother is a shrewd person. He not only knows how to use connections to secure future business deals in wild game, but he's also incredibly adept at navigating social situations.
"Hua'er, shall we go to the fabric shop or the butcher shop now?" Su Erhu turned to a deserted street corner and slowed his pace. "Brother Li said that a batch of new fabrics arrived at the fabric shop yesterday. Hua'er would look beautiful if she made clothes with them."
Su Hua smiled and shook her head, "No, let's go to the pharmacy."
"What? To the pharmacy?" Su Erhu was taken aback, then quickly looked his younger sister up and down. "Hua'er, are you feeling unwell? It was chilly last night, did you catch a cold..."
Seeing that Su Erhu's guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Su Hua quickly spoke up, "No, I'm fine, I just wanted to go to the pharmacy to buy some good food."
As Fang passed through the market, she looked around but didn't see anyone selling cinnamon or star anise.
Now, I can only try my luck at the pharmacy.
After all, in ancient China, spices like cinnamon and star anise were originally used as medicinal herbs.
Su Erhu was even more surprised when he heard the voice.
What normal little sister goes to the pharmacy to buy delicious food?
I'm afraid Hua'er's mental illness has flared up again.
There are three pharmacies in Cangwu Town. After leaving Fugui Restaurant, it takes about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to walk to the Zhou Family Pharmacy, a well-established brand. When Su Erhu and his sister arrived, the three doors of the pharmacy were surrounded by a huge crowd.
"What's going on in here?" Su Erhu tiptoed to look inside, but all he could see was a sea of heads.
They couldn't even get through the door.
However, the other two pharmacies in Cangwu Town are both located in the west of the town, and it would probably take another half an hour to get there.
He didn't care, but Hua'er rarely went out. Today, it took her a lot of effort to walk from Shanghe Village to Cangwu Town. If she had to take another half an hour to get to the west of the town, her legs would probably be shaking on the way back.
The old man beside Su Erhu sighed, "A boy of about ten years old was eating pastries at a stall over there when he suddenly collapsed. His family brought him to Zhou's Pharmacy, but his face was already purple. I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim..."
The old man hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, the crowd was broken apart.
"Quick, make way! Don't block the road!"
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw two old women walking at the front, followed by a beautiful woman with red and swollen eyes, being supported by two servants. The little boy beside her had a bruised and swollen face and his mouth was crooked.
"Madam, please don't worry." Seeing that the beautiful woman was on the verge of fainting, the old woman couldn't help but persuade her, "The doctor in this town is not very capable. Let's hurry back to Qingshui County and invite the best doctor. Our young master will definitely be safe and sound."
Upon hearing this, Su Hua frowned. "Second Brother, how long will it take us to get to the county?"
“It would take most of the day to walk,” Su Erhu said in a low voice. “Even if we were to ride a fast horse, it would still take most of the hour.”
"Wait!" Su Hua stepped forward.
She reached out to stop the maid who was holding the baby boy.
"How dare you!" The maid, holding the baby boy, suddenly turned cold when she saw Su Hua brazenly blocking the road. "Do you know who our young master is? If you delay his treatment, you'll regret it."
“I don’t know who your young master is,” Su Hua said, her expression unchanged. “But I do know that if he leaves like this, he won’t even make it to Qingshui County.”
"How dare you curse my young master? Do you want to die?" The maid's eyes were filled with malice.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves about Su Hua.
"This young master looks like he comes from a wealthy family. If we get involved with him, we're probably doomed."
"Yes, this young master is probably already dead. Isn't it pointless for this young lady to try and stop him?"
"The waters run deep in wealthy families; be careful not to become a scapegoat."
Su Erhu quickly grabbed Su Hua and whispered, "Hua'er, we don't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine. This little child looks pitiful, but we can't control whether he lives or dies."
Su Hua gave Su Erhu a reassuring look.
He then bowed to the beautiful woman and said, "Madam, the young master choked on his food. The food has now slipped into his trachea. If it is not expelled soon, the young master will surely die within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!"
She doesn't consider herself a kind-hearted person.
But she couldn't bear to watch such a living being die before her eyes.
"What? It really only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?" Li Hongyan was stunned for a moment, but her tears flowed even more fiercely, like beads from a broken string. "How could this be?"
Just now, the head doctor of Zhou's Pharmacy said the same thing.
