Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting
Chapter 23 Money is a thing that is hard to spend
Liu Siyu suddenly became alert, but still had a cute expression on her face.
"I don't know about that. My mother just asked me to help prescribe medicine for someone, but she didn't tell me what disease it was for."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It was his occupational disease that came back again. Every time he saw a new prescription, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"Among these herbs, angelica and safflower are more expensive, both cost 10 wen per gram, while fangfeng costs 8 wen. Peach kernel and thorn are relatively cheap."
Every time the shopkeeper spoke, Liu Siyu's heart trembled. Damn, these medicinal materials are too expensive. It's almost as expensive as a robbery.
After careful calculation, with the little money she had, she could only buy 10 bottles of herbs for hand cream at most.
It's impossible to get rich quickly, so I'll just buy 10 copies first to see how they sell.
"Boss, please give me 10 doses of medicine first."
After packing the herbs, the shopkeeper picked up the abacus and started clacking away.
"Three ounces and four hundred coins in total."
"What, more than three taels of silver?" Liu Sihan widened his eyes in surprise.
He was thinking of buying some coarse grains to bring back, but now, a pile of chopped branches has taken away all his sister's money.
Just as he was about to say something to persuade her, he saw Liu Siyu pulling his arm and winking at him.
He had to keep the words of advice to himself. Even though he had a lot of doubts, he still chose to believe his sister in front of outsiders.
Liu Siyu had an idea and took out three or four hundred coins from the ice cellar and handed them to the shopkeeper.
She had already calculated it in her mind, and it was indeed this number.
The moment the shopkeeper took the money, he shivered and said, "Why is this money so cold?"
Liu Siyu touched his nose. It would be strange if the money was not cold after being taken out of the ice cellar. But he just smiled and walked out of the pharmacy with the herbs.
As soon as they walked onto the street, Liu Sihan couldn't help asking, "Sister, why did you buy these herbs? Three taels of silver can buy a lot of coarse grains."
Liu Siyu naturally understood this, but this was not a long-term solution. After finally getting these three taels of silver, she naturally had to find a way to make money.
But she was not completely sure about making hand cream, so she couldn't say it too confidently. "Do you believe me?"
Liu Sihan stared at her sister's serious eyes and thought of everything her sister had done for the family, and a sense of trust arose spontaneously.
"Well, I believe in my sister."
Liu Siyu smiled faintly.
"Just trust me, sister. This money is not wasted. With these herbs, I can make more money."
Then he said seriously: "But before this is successful, you are not allowed to tell anyone. It can only be a secret between the two of us."
Seeing that his sister trusted him so much, Liu Sihan's face flushed with excitement, "I will definitely help my sister keep the secret."
Liu Siyu weighed the pitiful 220 coins in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. Money is such a waste.
If you want to make hand cream, there is one most crucial step, lard, so I made up my mind to pick the best fat meat and weighed 5 kilograms.
Liu Sihan felt so distressed that she opened her mouth, but when she thought of her promise to her sister, she kept the words of dissuasion at her lips.
Liu Siyu saw the whole scene and knew that the little guy was worried about money and food at home.
Then he pulled his arm and said, "Let's go buy some coarse grains."
Only then did Liu Sihan become happy.
They agreed to buy coarse grains, but Liu Siyu changed her mind the moment she saw the cornmeal.
Coarse grains cost three cents per pound, and cornmeal cost four cents. Liu Siyu chose 4 pounds of cornmeal without hesitation.
When Liu Sihan saw that her sister had finally bought food, all the joy was shown on her face.
Even the steps back became lighter.
The two happy people became solemn the moment they stepped into the courtyard.
The wolf grandmother who came last time came again, and there was a fat woman dressed in red and green in the room.
The man flicked his handkerchief and said to Wang: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is a blessing that no one else can ask for. Why are you still hesitating?"
Grandma Wolf also joined in.
"Your Aunt Jia is right. The Huang family is a wealthy family. If a young girl marries into them, she will be in luck. But look at this family. They can't even afford a full meal. If you force them to stay at home, they will suffer."
Wang was still a little hesitant, "But Mr. Huang is too old and he is still ill. Who knows how long he can live? The eldest daughter is only 13. It's not good for her to be a widow at such a young age."
When Matchmaker Jia heard this, she immediately stretched out her voice.
"Oh, niece, why are you thinking like this? Once you get married, you will be the mistress of the family. There will be a huge fortune waiting for you to enjoy. Even if you become a widow, you will still have a group of servants to serve you. It's better than staying here and eating coarse food, right?"
Wang nodded hesitantly.
Liu Siyu felt a chill in her heart, and all her beautiful fantasies were shattered by Wang at this moment.
The coolness spread from the top of the head to the toes.
I really want to skin and suck the flesh of these two old ladies who eat other people's food but do nothing for their own benefit.
"Bah, you black-hearted rotten matchmaker, since the mistress of the house is so good, why don't you do it?"
After hearing this, Matchmaker Jia was not angry at all. She even happily moved closer to Liu Siyu.
She was matchmaking and had seen all kinds of situations everywhere, so she didn't take Liu Siyu's words to heart at all.
"Oh, now she's grown up. She looks pretty good, but a little dry. Once the Huang family gets some money, she'll be beautiful."
"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
Liu Sihan felt very disgusted when she saw the matchmaker with a face full of fat, especially her pair of green eyes, which were looking back and forth at her sister. It was obvious that she was not a good person.
When Wang heard her son say this, she immediately tried to smooth things over.
"Sihan, this is Grandma Jia from the next village. She's here..."
"She came to find a job for your family, and also to find a good home for your sister to live in."
Grandma Wolf interrupted him.
Liu Siyu felt sad. She tried so hard to take control of her own destiny, but these black-hearted people were so impatient.
In this era where filial piety is more important than anything else, her identity as an adopted daughter is undoubtedly a sad existence.
As long as Wang was determined to sell her, no matter how she struggled, she would eventually be doomed to be married off.
Thinking of this, he no longer held back his words.
"Fuwo, do you want to give this blessing to you? You have granddaughters at home, too, why don't you push them to this blessed nest to enjoy the blessings?"
Do you really think that Liu Siyu is a three-year-old child?
