When the boy in the drugstore heard that she was there to sell medicine, he took her directly to the back hall.
Shopkeeper Wu cheerfully walked up to her and asked, "Little girl, what are you selling today?"
Lin Wan took out the herbs and handed them to him.
"Oh? There's a ginseng that's 300 years old?"
Lin Wan smiled bitterly and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, this ginseng and the last one are twin ginsengs that were dug together. I originally wanted to keep it for emergency use, but I have been busy lately. I have no choice but to sell it."
Shopkeeper Wu didn't investigate further and took the basket of angelica again.
"Well, the angelica is well preserved and plump, not bad, I'll give you six taels of silver per pound, how about that?"
"Okay, weigh it."
In the end, 82 kilograms of angelica were sold for 492 taels, and ginseng has recently increased in price, so it was sold for 450 taels.
She took the banknotes and silver given to her by Manager Wu, and the heavy stone in her heart finally dropped. Now she was finally not worried about not having enough money to build bridges and roads. After calculating, she probably had more than 850 taels left after paying for Shen Mo and the others, so she was not afraid of building two bridges. However, the initial investment was really huge! But the bridge had to be built. Her land was on the other side of the river, and it would be very troublesome if she didn't build a bridge. She would spend more.
Lin Wan bought some water jars and earthenware pots on the way, and also bought two sets of teapots and teacups, which she planned to put in the private room on the second floor. She also had a use for the water jars, as she wanted to make a few jars of sweet noodle sauce.
She had to go back late today, and she had to ask her sister-in-law and others to send the pig offal back, and there was only one donkey cart...
Okay, she needs to buy another car!
We already have a donkey cart at home, so we could buy an ox cart. The ox in the space is too small to be used at the moment, so we have to buy a new one. Alas, I feel bad about spending the money.
I went to the cattle market and picked up a large bull that had just grown up. It was full of tendons and looked very strong. I also bought a sturdy and durable ox cart, which was more than twice as big as a donkey cart and could carry more than a dozen people.
After some bargaining with the seller, she bought it for forty-eight taels.
Good man, she spent another fifty taels in just a short while. She is really a genius at spending money! Women just have to shop!
But what bothered Lin Wan the most was that she didn't know how to drive a bullock cart! And the bull didn't listen to her! There was no other way, so the seller had to help her drive it to the market.
When Sister Yuying saw the ox cart, she immediately scolded her...
"We already have a donkey cart! Why did you buy an ox cart? We just have to wait until night. Your brother Dayong and I will wait for you!"
Lin Wan lowered his head guiltily and whispered, "Sister-in-law, the pig's offal needs to be sent back for washing. Besides, this ox cart can carry a lot of things, and we can still go to work in the fields in the future..."
Li Yuying pointed at the donkey with wide eyes and said, "Why, the donkey can't work, right? I finally earned some money, but look at you! You spend it lavishly! Are you going to save money to live on?"
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I've bought them all..."
Lin Dayong also hurried forward to coax her, "Okay, okay, what are you doing? Just buy it. Wanwan must know that she is wrong, right, Wanwan?"
Lin Wan nodded vigorously and looked at her sincerely.
"Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time!"
"Okay, okay, you see, Miss Wan knows she's wrong. We still have guests here!"
"Humph, try spending money recklessly again! I'll slap you!"
Lin Wan touched his butt and suddenly felt pain...
She asked Brother Dayong to move the water tank to the ox cart. When she left, she took a wooden bucket of pig offal and bought some Chinese cabbage and wild vegetables at the market.
I returned to the shop, boiled a few pots of hot tea for the chefs, and then started to make lunch. I cooked two large pots of rice, put the stewed vegetables into the pot and stewed them together for a while.
The food was ready, and Lin Wan called them to eat. More than 20 people swarmed to the table and looked at the food.
An old chef said in surprise: "Wan girl! Why are you spending so much money! This stew is not cheap, right?"
"Yeah, you can just buy us a roujiamo!"
Lin Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Then I'll buy you some roujiamo when I get back?"
"Hey, hey, hey, no need to bother! I'm just saying! Isn't there a lot of meat in the roujiamo?"
"Okay, you know about Luzhu, but why don't you know me? I made this Luzhu, so why can't I treat you?"
"Hahaha! Come on, this famous person is right in front of us, and we didn't even know about it!"
An old master slapped his apprentice and scolded him with a smile: "I asked you to buy stewed pork, who did you ask to buy it?"
The apprentice touched his head and said aggrievedly: "The girl was not there at the time! It was an aunt who was selling her there..."
"That's my sister-in-law. Sometimes I have other things to do, so she's usually there alone."
"Girl! The stew you made is so delicious! I was so greedy that I missed it every few days!"
"Yeah! If I drink two more glasses of wine, I'll be living like a god!"
Lin Wanwan felt a little embarrassed by their praise.
"Everyone, eat first! Eat while it's hot! When the shop opens in a few days, there will be more delicious food! Then I will bring them back for you to try!"
"Hahaha, just saying this is enough!"
"But I really want to know if there are other things that taste better!"
"Hahaha, I want to know that too!"
"You'll know then!"
What Lin Wan made is just enough for so many big men to eat. No, she must hire someone to cook tomorrow, otherwise she will be exhausted!
Sister Yuying was worried about her going back alone, so she stayed with her and let Lin Dayong go back first.
