Chapter 25 Return with a Full Load

The little fat baby was also scared after he spit. He pushed it with his tongue and then suddenly rushed towards his mother in surprise.

"Mom, I have no more lumps in my mouth!"

His mother's expression was a bit confusing. She knew it was a blunder. Her son was not sick at all, but the flesh on his upper jaw was sucked by the half lotus shell.

The medicine boy was also stunned, his hands were shaking as he held the medicine. He had almost finished picking up all the medicine, and the herbs were all mixed together, so he would be dizzy after a while.

"Little guy, be careful about what you eat next time. The lotus seed shell is not small, it will get stuck in your throat if you are not careful. Also, if you are sick in the future, you must answer truthfully when you see the doctor. You can't lie just because you want to eat candy, otherwise it will affect the doctor's diagnosis."

Just looking at the little guy's performance just now, you can tell that he must have put on a show when he saw the doctor. How could the doctor not prescribe medicine for him when he kept crying out in pain?

The little fat kid saw his mother's dark face and thought to himself that something was wrong, so he agreed obediently.

The young woman pinched her son's face and turned to thank Yin Huaixi. If she hadn't noticed the clue, she wouldn't know how much money she would have wasted.

This medicine is not cheap. A packet costs thirty cents, and seven days of use costs more than two hundred yuan. It is now available throughout the province.

"Thank you so much, Auntie. I don't have anything with me right now. Please take this money."

She only brought one coin with her when she went out today. She spent 40 coins on the prescriptions, and only had 50 coins left after buying candied haws and needles and thread. She stuffed all the 50 coins into Yin Huaixi's pocket, and then apologized to the medicine boy with apologetic intent, saying that she didn't want the medicine anymore.

Why take medicine if you are not sick?

The mother and son quickly left the pharmacy, leaving the little pharmacist to distribute the medicine with great difficulty.

Yin Huaixi was still waiting to sell the herbs, so he took the initiative to help sort out the various herbs that were mixed together. The two of them worked much faster together, and the herbalist breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, they started to check the herbs and set prices. The medicine boy was of good character and the price he gave was fair, but Yin Huaixi didn't compare prices, so he didn't know. But the little medicine boy spoke for him just now and didn't dislike the three of them, so he must be of good character.

Believe him this time, and ask again at a different pharmacy next time.

"Auntie, this Ophiopogon japonicus is ten cents a pound, Polygonatum odoratum is five cents, and Plantain is three cents..."

Because the herbs had not been processed or dried, the price was lower than that of normal dried herbs. Yin Huaixi had no objection and sold all the herbs to the herbal medicine shop and finally received 48 coins.

Most of the herbs were cheap, which was normal. If the mountain was full of expensive herbs, she wouldn't have waited long enough to pick them.

Forty-eight cents is not bad, Yin Huaixi felt very happy.

"Let's go buy some buns!"

They smelled the aroma of steamed buns when they first entered the city, but they had no fish or herbs in their hands, and they had to spend their money sparingly, so they naturally couldn't afford to buy steamed buns.

Now that I have money in my pocket, eating a few steamed buns is nothing.

Yin Huaixi was already ravenous, so he bought ten large meat buns in one go, two for each person. Of course, he spent a lot of money, two cents for each meat bun, so he spent twenty cents.

Jiang Wan was used to eating good food, but the delicious smell of the meat buns made her soul tremble. This was definitely a conditioned reflex of the original owner's body, as she hadn't eaten meat for too long.

The three of them squatted under the wall by the roadside and wolfed down two buns. The remaining four were to be taken back and were put into the backpack first.

"Let's go to the iron shop first."

Besides food, the things that the family lacks most are kitchen knives and some small tools for fishing. Of course, there was no budget for these things before because we had no money. Now that the fish has sold for 15 taels, we have bought the most needed things at home.

Yin Huaixi spent eight taels of silver to buy a kitchen knife and scissors, an iron pot, and a chopping knife. She also bought two shovel heads, a pickaxe head, two rake heads, and a small hoe head. None of these had handles, so she had to go back and find someone to install them.

Putting the heavy pile of iron tools into the backpack, she felt an inexplicable sense of happiness. Jiang Wan was the happiest because with these tools, her equipment for fishing was more complete. In the future, she would not have to run back and forth to borrow tools from others for cooking and fishing at home.

Nice~

Yin Ning secretly wiped her eyes. She was so happy but tears came out for some reason. When she calmed down and looked up, they were already standing in front of a cloth shop.

Auntie, do you want to buy some cloth to make clothes?

Yin Huaixi didn't say much, and directly bought half a piece of dark coarse cloth and five feet of muslin. Yes, muslin. When I arrived at the cloth shop, I knew that there was cotton in this world.

Half a piece of coarse cloth cost two hundred coins, and five feet of fine cotton cloth also cost two hundred coins. (One piece = forty feet) The price difference is amazing. It goes without saying that cotton must be a very expensive commodity.

Yin Huaixi also bought needles and thread. She remembered a lot of her original body's memories, and she also knew how to make clothes. After the three of them came out of the cloth shop, they went directly to the grain store and bought ten kilograms of corn, five kilograms of wheat flour, and some oil, salt, and seasonings.

It wasn't that she didn't want to buy more food, it was just that if she bought more she wouldn't be able to carry it. Now she was regretting not bringing her elder brother and his wife with her into the city.

After buying things, the three of them carried their things on their backs and in their arms and walked all the way to the pier to find a boat to go back to the village. Unexpectedly, they met an acquaintance here.

Actually, we are not that familiar with each other. He is the son of the village chief, and everyone in the village knows him.

Lian Jiabao happened to come to the city to deliver something to his uncle, and on his way back he met the three men at the pier. They were all from the same village, so of course he had to take some things back with him.

Yin Huaixi wanted to pay for the boat fare but Lian Jiabao refused to accept it.

He knew that this family was in great difficulty. Although he didn't know where they got the money to buy all these things, if they wanted to settle down in the village, they would be short of money in the future.

Let’s not talk about far away places, just talk about houses. The houses they live in now are all rented.

Lian Jiabao tentatively asked Yin Huaixi if she had any idea of ​​building a house. Yin Huaixi was undecided and said she needed to think about it.

On the way home after getting off the boat, Jiang Wan talked about this with A Niang. Now that the family still has some money, it would be time-consuming and expensive to lay the foundation and build the house by themselves. Moreover, with the money they have now, they can't build a stone house at all. They can only build a mud house, which needs to be repaired back and forth all year round.

It would be better not to live in that kind of house. Jiang Wan still wanted to save money to buy the stone house. When she had enough money, she would build a stone house next to the small stone house.

She had inquired about it, and the small stone house she and her mother were living in now belonged to Grandma Jinhua. Grandma Jinhua's son was so proud of himself that he bought a nice house in the city and took her in, and basically he would never come back to live there again. If her family had the money to buy it, they could talk to the village chief and it would be very likely that they could buy it.

After listening to her daughter's thoughts, Yin Huaixi had an idea in her mind.

You shouldn't spend money recklessly today!
