Pampered Pastoral: Orion’s Delicious Little Lady

There are many shelves in the yard, and there are drying baskets on the shelves. Many medicinal herbs are spread flat on the drying baskets.

Not long after, a slightly stout middle-aged man came out of the room on the other side.

While rolling up his sleeves, the man shouted loudly for someone to turn over the herbs in the yard so that the sun could dry them evenly.

When he saw Lu Jingzhe, the man was stunned for a moment, then he raised a smile from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and called Lu Jingzhe to go to another room.

Song Lihua followed Lu Jingzhe's footsteps closely. After all, she was unfamiliar with the place and was afraid that she would be made into medicine if she stayed far away.

Lu Jingzhe should be a frequent visitor to this medical clinic, otherwise the little medicine boy and this man wouldn't be so familiar with him.

"What good things did you bring this time?" The man couldn't help being excited. When he turned around, he realized that Lu Jingzhe had also brought a woman. He asked doubtfully: "Is this...a younger brother and sister?"

"Brother and sister" Song Lihua moved behind Lu Jingzhe, feeling safer following this guy.

Lu Jingzhe nodded when he heard the words, and took the lead in placing the bamboo basket he brought with him on the table in the room, and said concisely: "Five items."

"Congratulations, when did you get married?" The man bent down slightly and saw clearly what was going on inside the bamboo basket through the gaps between the bamboo pieces. He couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Oh, they are all good things! You The boy is really capable, he can still find these even in times of famine."

"I got married yesterday. If I have a chance, I'll treat you to a wedding banquet." Lu Jingzhe raised her chin slightly: "15 taels."

"It's worth the price." The man nodded, and unambiguously took out three silver ingots from his arms and handed them to him: "Just right, five liang and one ingot."

Snakes are precious to their medical clinic.

Snake oil, for example, can treat water and fire burns, frostbite and chapped skin.

Another example is snake gall, which clears away heat and detoxifies, can treat coughs, and can also treat rheumatism, joint and bone pain.

Song Lihua finally understood from the sidelines. This man should be the shopkeeper of the medical clinic. Lu Jingzhe usually would send over any good things he hunted, and they became familiar with each other from time to time.

Lu Jingzhe was not polite. He took the silver and put it on the chest lining of his coat. Then he lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "When I am not at home, if she comes to see me for anything, I hope you can help me a little bit."

Shopkeeper Xu had been doing business with Lu Jingzhe for so long, so he naturally knew about his being captured.

Looking at the thin woman behind him, shopkeeper Xu assured him very solemnly: "Brother Jingzhe, don't worry. As long as it doesn't violate the king's laws, Xu will try his best to help."

Song Lihua understood again, maybe he was talking about her, right? There can't be any other girls that Lu Jingzhe cares about, right?

After coming out of the hospital, Lu Jingzhe counted the money on hand. Adding the 15 taels he had just received, there were 27 taels in total.

The current prices fluctuate greatly, and he is not sure how long these 27 taels will last.

The next stop is a shop selling candied candies.

In the current situation, anyone who has some money is going to buy rice and grain. Who will come to buy these snacks?

Therefore, the business of the Candy Candy Shop is very bleak.

Coupled with the hot weather, these snacks cannot be stored for long.

Lu Jingzhe and Song Lihua spent fifty copper coins to buy half a bag of candied fruits and started walking to their next destination.
