Shen Li saw how hesitant he was and knew that he might not have enough money: "Just tell me what the problem is."

"Can you give me 40 taels first, and the remaining 10 taels next month? Don't worry, I can write an IOU, and I will definitely not default on the debt. I'm willing to sacrifice my reputation. If it were something else, I might let you look elsewhere, but I'm really reluctant to give up this hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

Shen Li smiled gently without any surprise: "Doctor Liu, I believe you. After all, you are helping me by collecting my herbs. Otherwise, I really don't know where to sell them. We are helping each other. I will come back next month to get the ten taels."

"That's great, little girl. By the way, what's your name? I can't always call you little girl, can I?" Doctor Liu said excitedly.

"My name is Shen Li, you can just call me by my name."

"Okay, Shen Li, if you need anything from me, Liu Baohe, just tell me."

When Shen Li heard his name, he burst out laughing: "Doctor Liu, so the name of your Baohe Hall is your name?"

"Excuse me, I'll get the silver for you now."

"Wait a minute, I brought half a basket of herbs this time, please calculate the money for me."

"Okay, apprentice, weigh the herbs."

When Liu Baohe came out, the apprentice had already weighed the herbs: "How much?"

"Master, this is less than one or two taels."

"Then let's count it as one tael. Shen Li, look, this is the money for the Ganoderma lucidum and the prescription, forty-five taels, and there is one tael for this herb, a total of forty-six taels. I still owe you ten taels. Here is the IOU." Liu Baohe handed over the silver and the promissory note.

Seeing how thoughtfully Liu Baohe had prepared, Shen Li had a better impression of him: "Okay, thank you, Doctor Liu." She took the things.

"Don't be polite to me. I should be the one saying thank you. This hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is very popular. If you take it to other pharmacies to sell, they will be willing to buy it. What's more, you still made me owe ten taels of silver."

Being able to say such words, he is also a person who knows how to be grateful. Shen Li believes that his medical ethics must be good: "Let's not thank each other here. My brother and I have something else to do, so we will leave first."

After leaving Baohetang, Shen Li touched the bulging purse in his arms and wondered how to distribute the money.

The first thing was to set aside twenty taels for Shen Han to pay his tuition, but she couldn't tell him now. She would have to wait until she got home and tell him in front of everyone so that she could see everyone's reaction.

After all, it was because of this incident that they were completely disappointed with her, and now she has made up for it.

She really wanted to know if they would return to being the same as before and treat her as a real family.

Also, we have to improve their lives first.

"Brother, I have money now, let's go shopping." Shen Li said excitedly.

"A Li, the money is earned by you, and you are free to spend it however you want. But earning money is not easy, so you still have to be frugal. Don't spend it recklessly. If you can't, save it so that you can use it as your dowry in the future." Shen Han advised earnestly.

Shen Li knew that Shen Han had never seen this money, but money was attractive. She didn't expect that after he knew she had money, he didn't think of letting her spend it, nor did he ask her to pay him tuition. Instead, he asked her to save it. He had a really positive idea: "Brother, don't worry, I won't spend it recklessly. It's just that there is no food at home, so we have to buy some back and then buy some other things."

"But the money is yours, how can I let you buy these for your family?"

Shen Li said seriously: "I am also from the Shen family, why can't I buy it? Brother, if you really treat me as a family member, don't be so distant with me in the future."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Then let's go quickly, otherwise Uncle Wang will leave." Shen Li pulled him and hurried towards the market.

Go buy some cloth first. Remember Liu Dahua knows how to make clothes. She was the one who made all my clothes. Ready-made clothes are still a bit expensive, so we should save money now. Anyway, the land at home is almost harvested, so she has time to make them.

"Little girl, what do you want to buy?" the owner of the clothing store asked with a smile.

“I buy fabric.”

The shopkeeper pointed to the right: "The fabric is over here."

Shen Li looked at the cloths on the counter. There were all kinds of colors, and he was dazzled.

"Little girl, what kind of fabric do you want? I'll introduce it to you." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

This man was very good at doing business. He didn't look down on her when he saw that she was wearing such tattered clothes. This made a good impression on Shen Li: "Just cotton cloth will do."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he picked out a few pieces of cloth from a pile and said, "These are all cotton cloths. Which one do you like?"

Shen Li looked at the cloth. There was pure dark blue, dark blue with small floral patterns, gray, black, and white. "Boss, according to my eldest brother's size, I need to make a set of short clothes. It will take about a few meters, and three sets."

The shopkeeper looked at Shen Han and measured it roughly with a ruler: "This set is three meters, and three sets are nine meters."

The three brothers are actually about the same height, so one set is just right for each of them: "Okay, I want nine meters of solid dark blue." Shen Li pointed at the white cloth and said, "Boss, give me fifteen meters of this." This can be used to make undergarments or underwear, and fifteen meters is enough for their family of five.

"Little girl, you have so much cloth, how long will it take you to finish it?" said the shopkeeper while cutting the cloth.

"It's okay. I have time. I also want five meters of dark blue floral ones." For her and Liu Dahahua, five meters should be enough.

"okay."

Shen Li watched him skillfully cut all the cloth according to size, and suddenly remembered that he had to buy some thread at home. It would definitely not be enough to make so many clothes: "Boss, do you have any thread here?"

"Yes, for these, a ball of blue and white is enough."

"Then take two balls and calculate how much it costs."

The shopkeeper clattered on his abacus: "The total is two taels of silver."

Shen Li took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it over, and Shen Han took all the things consciously.

The shopkeeper smiled and sent me out the door, then I went to buy rice, flour and oil. This time I bought 30 kilograms of white rice, 20 kilograms of fine flour, and 10 kilograms of soybean oil.

Now that money is not so tight, she still wants to eat soybean oil. She still can't get used to vegetable oil. Then she bought salt and sugar. The sugar now is not fine white sugar, but large pieces that are a bit yellow. These cost another five taels of silver.

She originally wanted to buy something else, but she really couldn't carry it, so she had to leave it like this for now.

Shen Li put the cloth, salt and other things in a basket and carried it on his back, while Shen Han tied the rice and flour together and hung them on his shoulder. He held a jar of oil in one hand and arrived at the outskirts of the county. As expected, they were the last to arrive.
