Mrs. Qi looked helpless. She was worried when business was good and even more worried when business was bad. "Everyone, today's ready-made clothes have been sold out. You can only come back another day."

"When will it be?"

"How long will it take?"

Mrs. Qi: "Why don't you all leave your contact address first? When the goods are available, I will ask my staff to notify every household door to door."

When the customers in the store heard this, they followed the waiter to leave their addresses.

Master Qi walked up to her and said, "This man is really useless now that he's old. Why didn't he ask where Madam Xiao lives just now?"

Mrs. Qi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this: "Not only did you forget, I also forgot it myself."

Xia Wanniang had no idea what had happened in the cloth shop and was now hurriedly rushing to the pharmacy with a basket on her back.

Xiao Chiye stood in front of the medicine cabinet in Jishiditang and said, "Shopkeeper Hong, how many kinds of medicinal herbs do you have in this medicine shop?"

Shopkeeper Hong saw him and smiled, "Why are you suddenly asking about the herbs in the pharmacy?"

"I just want to buy some medicinal herbs and want to ask if they are all available." Xiao Chiye looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was of medium build and had a smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Hong had a proud look on his face: "Except for the wild ginseng of special age, ganoderma lucidum and other Chinese medicines, my shop has all the herbs."

Xiao Chiye felt relieved when he heard this: "Please find me a hundred of the cheapest herbs. One cent for each."

Shopkeeper Hong thought he had misheard: "How many kinds did you say?"

"One hundred kinds." Xiao Chiye repeated calmly.

Shopkeeper Hong took his hand and felt his pulse, wanting to see if he was sick.

Xiao Chiye quickly pulled back his hand: "I'm not sick, these herbs are useful to me."

Shopkeeper Hong looked at the man in front of him carefully. This man had been getting medicine from them for three years, and the herbs he got every time were very expensive.

But there has never been a situation like this, where I had to grab a hundred of the cheapest medicinal herbs: "Will it really work?"

"How could I lie to you?" Xiao Chiye looked at him with disbelief.

Shopkeeper Hong frowned and said, "Even if it's the cheapest medicinal material, the price won't be cheap after collecting these one hundred kinds."

Xiao Chiye: "If I don't have enough money, can you give me a few days?"

Shopkeeper Hong was silent for a moment. "I can only give you a hundred taels of medicinal materials on credit. If it's more, I don't have the right to do so."

Xiao Chiye nodded: "Please trouble the shopkeeper to get me some medicine first."

Shopkeeper Hong nodded, called the medicine boy to get medicine for him, and told him to pick the cheapest ones, costing only one penny for each.

The little medicine boy nodded, picked up the brass scale and started weighing. Every time he caught a medicine, he would read out the name of it and ask Manager Hong to record it.

When Xia Wanniang arrived, nearly fifty or sixty kinds of medicinal herbs had been collected. Although only one penny of each was collected, the number was too much to count!

In addition to the little boy who prepared the medicine, there was also a waiter next to him who wrapped the medicine in brown paper.

"Husband."

Xiao Chiye turned around and saw her coming in, with beads of sweat on her forehead: "Did you run here?" He took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Xia Wanniang looked at the herbs on the counter and said, "I was afraid you would get impatient, so I came running here."

Shopkeeper Hong looked up at Xia Wanniang and said, "Is this your wife?"

Xiao Chiye nodded generously: "Yes. We just got married a few days ago."

Shopkeeper Hong glanced at him and said, "You got married but you didn't even invite me to the wedding."

Seeing that the two had a good relationship, Xia Wanniang bowed to Shopkeeper Hong and said, "My mother-in-law was ill on the day of the wedding, so we didn't invite any guests. I'll choose a day in the future to invite Shopkeeper Hong to our home for a simple meal."

Shopkeeper Hong looked at Xia Wanniang and nodded: "You are so lucky to have married a good wife."

"I also think I'm very lucky." Xiao Chiye said seriously.

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and shook his head, then began to carefully record the medicinal materials that the little medicine boy read out.

After picking all one hundred kinds of herbs, Shopkeeper Hong's abacus started clacking.

Xiao Chiye and his wife waited quietly. They had no idea how much these herbs would cost.
