Chen Li left the crowd and thought about the three prescriptions in her arms. After thinking about it, she decided not to get them from one pharmacy, but to go to three different pharmacies.
A prescription contains 10 packets, which cost a total of 10 taels of silver, one tael of silver per packet.
Chen Li had looked at the prescription. There were some herbs in it whose properties she was not familiar with.
During the time she'd been traveling here, she'd also been studying with her fourth brother, and now she knew hundreds of words.
Three prescriptions, 30 packets of medicine, a total of 30 taels of silver.
If he wants more in the future, how much of the 200 taels of silver he gave him will be left?
Forget it. He promised to pay me anyway. If he doesn’t, huh!
Just consider it as if you saved him in vain!
However, he was rescued with injuries, so I will restore the scene and throw him back to his original place.
I just don’t know, if it happens again, will there be anyone to rescue Meicanqiang, or will we be able to wait until someone discovers it?
The last prescription was written by Chen Li at Huichuntang. After paying the money, Chen Li lifted the cloth covering the basket and showed the contents to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw the white jade-like Tai Sui in the basket, and then he invited Chen Li to the backyard.
"Miss, could you please let me take a closer look?"
Chen Li put the basket on the table and said, "Please help yourself."
The shopkeeper took out the Tai Sui. There was black soil on the white Tai Sui, and the soil was still a little moist, which seemed to have been unearthed not long ago.
The shopkeeper became more and more excited the more he looked at it. The boss was looking for something to offer as a sacrifice, and wouldn’t this Tai Sui be very suitable?
"Girl, do you have a price in mind?"
Chen Li raised her eyebrows and said, "Boss, this is not the first time we have cooperated. You name a price. If I can accept it, we will make the deal. If not, I will find another buyer."
The Tai Sui that Chen Li brought was not big, only about 15 kilograms, but it looked good, and it was so big that it was very rare.
The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling very conflicted. It took him a long time to make up his mind.
"When I was young, I also received a larger one than this. I spent one thousand taels of silver at that time, but it has been so many years."
"How about this, how about you, an old man, offer 1,800 taels?"
Chen Li tapped the table with her fingers. Is this thing so valuable?
The shopkeeper thought she disagreed, "Miss, I won't lie to you. In this small town, this Tai Sui is only worth this much. If you take it to the capital, the price will be much higher."
"Okay, let's go with the price the shopkeeper said."
The smile on the fat shopkeeper's face became more genuine.
"Well, could you please prepare some typhoid fever medicine and wound medicine for me, which I need for escort missions all year round?"
The fat shopkeeper readily agreed, "Then wait here for a moment, girl. I'll go get the medicine and silver."
"Okay, I'll have to ask the shopkeeper to prepare 200 taels of silver for me, and the rest in banknotes."
"Okay, wait a moment, girl."
A quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper came over with two bundles and placed them in front of Shen Li.
"Miss, this is the banknote prepared for you, please count it."
Chen Li opened the bundle and saw that there were 10 ingots of silver worth 20 taels each, and the rest were silver notes with a face value of 100 or 50 taels.
A smile appeared on his face, more genuine than before, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
“This medicine…”
"Consider this medicine as a gift from this old man to you, young lady, to establish a good relationship with you."
Chen Li picked up the bundle, and the shopkeeper took Tai Sui away.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. My last name is Shen."
The fat shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, "Then next time Miss Shen has any medicinal herbs, please bring them to our Huichuntang to sell."
"good."
When Chen Li walked out of Huichuntang, she had a smile on her face. The shopkeeper, seeing that she was carrying too many medicines, gave her a backpack.
Now that she had money, Chen Li wanted to go out for a nice meal. She first packed 30 meat buns and 30 steamed buns on the street, and I bought 20 packs of pastries and 30 sesame cakes.
I walked around the alley with the basket on my back twice, and when I came out, there was only medicine in it.
Chen Li walked into a restaurant, which happened to be the restaurant where his third brother worked as a waiter.
"Girls, how many of you are there?"
"I want a quiet spot."
"Okay, this way please."
The waiter did not look down on Chen Li because of the clothes she was wearing and the backpack, and took her to a corner very close inside.
"Waiter, what dishes do you have?"
The waiter took a look at the girl. Although her clothes were made of different material, the girl had her own temperament. There was no expression on her face after she entered the restaurant.
"Miss, if you're traveling alone, just order our signature dish, Eight Treasure Duck, and a serving of Jinling meatballs and round vegetables in white sauce."
"Well, another serving of braised lion's head and Dongpo pork."
When Chen Li came in just now, she took a look at the sign outside and saw these dishes were at the very front.
"OK."
There were not many people eating in the restaurant at the moment. Chen Li waited for a quarter of an hour, and her meal was almost served, except for the last serving of Dongpo pork.
The waiter put the meat on the table and was about to turn around and leave when he saw the girl in front of him looking at him with a smile.
"Little sister, why are you here?"
Shen Yuanzhou glanced at his smiling little sister, then looked at the food on the table.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat. Doesn’t he know what’s going on at home?
The dishes my younger sister ordered are not enough to cover two months’ salary!
No, if the shopkeeper blames me later, I have to stop him.
If it really doesn't work, just use your own salary to offset it and don't go home for the time being.
