"Third brother, eat. After you finish eating, I will ask the shopkeeper if he can let you go home today."
"No, I'll be back in a few days."
"good."
It would take about three days, Chen Li could afford to wait.
Shen Yuanzhou was already holding a bowl of rice and started to eat the dishes on the table.
Chen Li tried the four dishes one by one. Well, the chef of Ruyilou is pretty good and the food he cooks is delicious.
Chen Li waved to a waiter, "Waiter, pack three servings of each of these three dishes for me, and three servings of steamed pork with rice flour as well."
Chen Li took out another ingot of silver from her purse and placed it on the table, and the waiter stepped forward to pick it up.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Shen Yuanzhou was immersed in the food, and he did not raise any objections to Shen Li's practice of packing the food.
The money was earned by my younger sister, so she can spend it however she wants.
After the two of them finished their meal, the waiter came up with the takeaway dishes.
"Sir, the shopkeeper said he would lend you this lunch box. Just bring it over next time when you have time."
"Here's your change, please keep it."
A smile flashed in Chen Li's eyes. This shopkeeper is quite a good person!
"Okay, thank you."
Shen Li stood at the door of Ruyi Tower and took out a small ingot of silver from her purse and stuffed it into Shen Yuanzhou's pocket. "Third brother, go buy anything you want to eat."
Then he waved to his third brother, and left with the backpack and the food box.
Shen Yuanzhou watched his little sister walk away, hid the silver close to his body, and then returned to the restaurant to continue his work.
When Chen Li was about to leave the town, she saw someone selling chicken, duck and goose chicks, so she went up and bought 10 of each.
Chen Li ran on the path home with the things in her hand. After making sure that there was no one behind her, she turned into the small woods nearby, put the food into the space, and left out a portion of each and put them in a lunch box.
I also put the chickens, ducks and geese in my hands into the space and would feed them when I returned later.
I'll have to buy some pots, pans, bowls and utensils and put them in the space next time so that it will be convenient for me to cook.
Chen Li jogged all the way home, and by then everyone at home had already had lunch.
When Chen Li returned home, she saw that the yard door was open, so she closed it.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Chen Li put down the backpack and walked into the main house with the food box in her hand.
Lin Cuicui heard her daughter's voice and walked out of the room, "Ali, you're back. Have you eaten yet?"
"Mom, I ate in town and brought you some food."
Lin Cuicui's smile deepened. "Kid, just eat it yourself. Food in town is so expensive. Why bring it back to us?"
Chen Li shook her head and said, "Mom, I made money today."
After saying that, he threw the bag in his hand onto the table.
Lin Cuicui heard the unique sound of shadows colliding and opened the bundle to check.
"This, so much silver?"
"Yeah!"
Lin Cuicui tied up the bundle and said, "Alright, I'll keep these for your dowry!"
Chen Li stepped forward and snatched the bundle from her arms, "Mom, why are you saying this? I want your daughter to stay at home for a few more years."
Chen Li only put 400 taels of silver in the bag, 100 taels of silver and 300 taels of 50-tael silver notes.
"Well, I'll take half and keep the rest at home."
Lin Cuicui frowned, her face full of disapproval, "Ali, our family doesn't want these, keep them for yourself."
Chen Li didn't listen and walked into the room with the silver note, "Mom, if you give the silver to Dad, he will naturally understand."
Chen Li walked around in the room and came out again. As soon as she walked outside the main house, she saw Mei Canqiang sitting under the eaves with a wooden stick beside him.
Shen Li walked over and put the medicine at his feet, "Oh, Master Wei, I didn't expect you to be so valuable!"
A cold light flashed in Pei Yu's eyes. Miss Shen must have seen her wanted poster in the county town.
Although they didn't know where they were exactly, as long as they posted wanted posters along the towns along the canal, they would naturally find clues.
"I wonder how much Wei is worth?"
"Well, it's only 300 taels of silver, not as much as you paid me."
Pei Yu's eyes twitched uncontrollably when he heard this. If the reward on the wanted poster was more than what he gave, he shouldn't be here now, right?
“Thank you, Miss Shen.”
Chen Li smiled lightly, revealing two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth. "No need to thank me. I saved you for a fixed price. If you feel bad about it, I'll give you some extra money."
Pei Yu: This Miss Shen always talks about money, but she doesn't seem vulgar.
"Miss Shen, you saved Wei. In addition to the 500 taels of silver I promised you, I can also agree to one request."
Chen Li squinted her eyes and looked at him. She had to admit that she was very tempted by the proposal. This beautiful and powerful woman was obviously rich or noble. Besides, no one could guarantee that they would not encounter setbacks in life.
If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me.
Although Chen Li is very powerful, in this feudal era, some problems cannot be solved by force, but require status and strength.
"Yes, but words are not enough. Master Wei must give me a token of his love."
Pei Yu nodded and pulled off the jade pendant from his waist. "This jade pendant can prove Wei's identity. Please keep it safe and don't show it to others easily."
Chen Li understood that this jade pendant symbolized his status, but he was now so close to the Buddha that he could not even protect himself. If he held this jade pendant, it would be like a dung beetle rolling more and more shit.
Chen Li quickly threw the jade pendant back into his arms, "Such an important thing, Master Wei should keep it for yourself."
