The couple came out of Shunan Escort Agency. Chen Yun turned his head to ask his wife, "Are we going to Renyitang now?"

Song Xile thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the pastry shop first and buy some pastries to take with us on the road. If we get hungry on the road, or if it's inconvenient to light a fire to cook, we can use them to fill our stomachs."

Chen Yun nodded in agreement.

After a while, they arrived at an old pastry shop in the city.

The shop doesn't have a big front, but there is a golden sign hanging on the lintel with the words "Century-old Shop" inscribed on it, which makes it particularly eye-catching.

As soon as I walked into the shop, a sweet fragrance hit me.

When the shop assistant saw the customers coming, he immediately came up to greet them warmly and asked with a smile, "Dear guests, what would you like to buy?"

Song Xile looked at the various cakes on the counter. They were in different shapes and colors, and each one seemed delicious. She was dazzled and didn't know which ones to choose.

And she had never bought these cakes before, so she asked, "What are the three best-selling cakes in your shop?"

Without thinking twice, the waiter pointed at a few cakes on the counter and introduced them: "Of course they are from our shop, osmanthus cake, almond cake, and mung bean cake!"

"How do you sell these cakes?"

"Osmanthus cake and mung bean cake are both 30 cents per pound, and almond cake is 50 cents per pound!"

Song Xile didn't like sweets, and she didn't know if this cake was greasy, so she asked, "Can we try it?"

The young man made a bitter face and explained a little embarrassedly: "Please bear with me, madam. You should know that the price of food is rising now..."

Song Xile understood and did not let the waiter continue. He said, "Then give us a pound of each!"

When the waiter heard what Song Xile said, he immediately ran to pack up with a smile on his face.

At this time, the shopkeeper had finished entertaining the guests and heard the conversation between his waiter and Song Xile.

Seeing that the girl was so reasonable, and considering that the economy was bad and business was slow, the shopkeeper naturally wanted to retain such a high-quality customer.

So the shopkeeper came over with a plate of cakes and said, "Please forgive me, madam. Recently many customers only try the cakes but don't buy them. That's why we stopped the tasting last month."

"As an apology, please give it a taste, my lady."

Song Xile didn't like to take advantage of others. The reason why she wanted to try it was that she was worried that the pastries she bought would not taste good. Now that she had bought it, there was no need to taste it again.

She also expressed her understanding of the pastry shop's practice. After she declined, she paid the money, took the packaged pastries from the waiter, and led Yun You out of the pastry shop.

Next, the two went to the meat market again.

Song Xile learned from Yun You that it would take a day to reach the next county town from Nanyun County, so she still had to prepare food for the day.

Although the weather is hot, it should be fine to keep the braised meat for a day. When you go back, make some dough cakes and take them with you on the road. If you feel hungry on the way, you can wrap the meat with the dough cakes. It is delicious and can help you keep fit.

As soon as Song Xile entered the meat market, the stall owner immediately recognized her.

It was really because Song Xile bought meat frequently and generously, basically buying meat in batches of five kilograms!

She never bargained with them, so the stall owners in the meat market greeted her warmly when they saw her coming.

Song Xile went to his usual store and bought five pounds of pork belly from the stall owner.

The stall owner weighed the meat with a smile on his face, and asked the other party if he wanted anything else.

She did some calculations in her mind and thought that five pounds of meat should be enough for one day, so she shook her head, paid the money, picked up the meat and left the meat market.

The last stop for the two was the pharmacy in the city.

When the couple rushed to the pharmacy, it was almost noon, so there were no patients in the pharmacy at that time.

Doctor Zheng was drinking tea comfortably. When he looked up, he saw the couple.

He quickly put down the cup in his hand and stood up to greet him.

"Doctor Zheng, we are leaving tomorrow and would like to buy some medicine from you to treat injuries, diarrhea, and prevent heat stroke. Do you have any here?"

These are all commonly used medicines, which are prepared by each doctor based on his own experience. Of course, the effectiveness of the medicines also varies depending on the doctor's level.

However, when she goes out, she is bound to encounter some accidents, so she still has to prepare some of these common medicines. In this way, even if she wants to exchange better quality Chinese medicines from the system, she will not have no excuse to take them out.

Doctor Zheng listened to the medicines Song Xile recommended and nodded, "We have all of them. Please wait a moment."

So he went behind the counter and got the medicine for the two people himself.

In the past, there were many merchants in Nanyun County. Due to the well-developed water routes, many merchant ships passed through here for supplies. In addition, there was only one medicine shop, Renyitang, in Nanyun County.

These guests who stay here will more or less come here to buy some commonly used medicines in case of emergency.

As the chief physician of Renyitang, Doctor Zheng was well aware of the needs of merchants from all over the country, so his pharmacy was always well stocked with various commonly used medicinal materials and ready-made medicines.

After Song Xile bought the ready-made medicine, she also picked up some herbal mosquito repellents. When she was resting in the wild, she would sprinkle some of them nearby, and snakes, insects, rats and ants would not dare to approach.

She planned to grind it into powder herself and put it in her purse when she returned, and then give one to each of them.

Finally, she listed a string of herbs and spices. The names of these herbs did not sound strange, but when combined together and some were sprinkled on the person in the wind, symptoms such as shortness of breath and allergies would occur.

This was made by Song Xile for self-defense.

Doctor Zheng knew that Song Xile understood pharmacology, so he just prescribed the medicine and didn't ask her what she would use it for. He also really couldn't figure out what the medicine could be used for. The herbs she prescribed were too complicated and he couldn't understand them.

After a moment, Dr. Zheng grabbed the medicine from the medicine cabinet. He carefully wrapped the medicine with oil paper to ensure that the medicine would not get damp or damaged during transportation.

"Madam, you are so thoughtful and prepared so thoroughly." Doctor Zheng praised as he packed the herbs.

Song Xile smiled modestly and said, “When you go out, you always have to make more preparations to avoid unexpected situations.”

Doctor Zheng nodded in agreement and handed the packaged herbs to the two men.

Song Xile took the herbs and asked, "How much are these in total?"

"Just give me two taels of silver."

As soon as Song Xile heard this, he knew that Doctor Zheng had given him a discount. He thanked him, paid the money, took the herbs and said goodbye to Doctor Zheng.

Doctor Zheng escorted the two to the door and said, "You understand medical principles, so I won't say much about the medication. I just wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you!" Chen Yun bowed to Doctor Zheng, and the couple left together.
