After leaving the inner room, Xu Congyi took out the marinade package she had taken out this morning. This marinade package was prepared by Xu Congyi after reading many recipes. It contained ingredients such as Angelica dahurica, Hawthorn, Laurel, Licorice, and Agarwood. She wanted to see if the pharmacy had these things, after all, many condiments can be used as medicinal materials. Because she was afraid that she couldn't pronounce the names clearly, Xu Congyi directly took the ready-made marinade package, opened it, and took one of each.

"Boss, look, do you have these things here?" Xu spread out the ingredients.

Shopkeeper Li looked carefully and didn't expect that there were so many of these items in this pharmacy.

"I have licorice, atractylodes, galangal, cloves and angelica here," said shopkeeper Li with a smile.

Now it was Xu Congyi's turn to be excited. She didn't expect that this pharmacy would have five of these things. If she went to the spice store to look, maybe she could get most of the ingredients, and the braised meat would be just as delicious.

Shopkeeper Li asked the waiter on the side to give Xu Congyi a bag of medicinal herbs. Xu Congyi ordered one pound of each and packed several bulging bags. All these herbs cost a total of seven cents of silver. Shopkeeper Li waved his hand and refused to take the money handed over by old man Xu, and gave the money directly to Xu Congyi.

The grandparents and grandchildren thanked Shopkeeper Li, walked out of the hall happily, and headed towards the spice shop.

After many twists and turns, Old Man Xu brought Xu Congyi to the largest condiment store in Qicheng. Now that they were rich and confident, they no longer went to small vendors to buy condiments. The condiment store here had a large variety of things.

After removing the ingredients that could be bought from the pharmacy, Xu Congyi took out the rest of the ingredients for the seasoning store owner to identify. Finally, Xu Congyi bought star anise, pepper and nutmeg, and bought one pound of each. In this way, she bought all the ingredients for the marinade package. As for the remaining peppers that were not available here, she decided to find a way to make the seeds she bought from the space pass through and grow peppers herself.

Xu Congyi was pleasantly surprised to find that the seasoning store also sold soy sauce, but it was not as refined as the modern divisions of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. However, she still bought a large pot of it, as soy sauce is the best coloring agent when stewing meat.

The backpack was filled to the brim with various materials. Old Man Xu, holding the soy sauce bottle in his hand, wanted to carry it for Xu Congyi. Xu Congyi said that although these things looked a lot, they were actually less than ten pounds and she could carry them easily. She refused to give the backpack to Old Man Xu. Old Man Xu reached out and lifted it, and it was indeed not heavy, so he let Xu Congyi carry it.

With these ingredients, you can make delicious braised meat and dishes. Xu Congyi feels like drooling just thinking about it. The dishes here are generally light and have few seasonings, especially pork, which always tastes fishy. She had a hard time eating the meat noodles she had at the noodle stall last time.

Just as he was coming out of the seasoning store and was about to take another route back to the hotel, he would pass by the noodle stall he had seen last time. Xu Congyi was thinking about going to see if the handsome young man Shen Xiao was still there helping his grandfather sell noodles.

When they arrived at the alley, it was not meal time and no one was at the noodle stall. Xu Cong saw Shen Xiao sitting in front of the stall in a daze, so he went up to him and greeted him.

"Brother Shen Xiao, do you still remember me?"

Shen Xiao looked up and saw that it was Xu Congyi. Last time, she had been staring at him, which left a deep impression on him. Seeing Grandpa Xu standing next to him, Shen Xiao quickly stood up and politely greeted the two of them.

"Grandpa Xu, Sister Xu."

"Where is your grandfather? Why can't I see him?" The two old men had a good chat last time, but when they met again, the stall owner was not there, so Old Man Xu hurriedly asked Shen Xiao.

Speaking of this, Shen Xiao's expression changed slightly. Seeing Old Man Xu asking his grandfather with concern, Shen Xiao did not hide it and told him the truth.

"Grandpa had a health problem due to the war, and he has been suffering from many illnesses in recent years. I was away from home these few days, and he got a high fever while collecting clothes in the rain. There was no extra money at home to buy medicine, so I set up a stall to sell noodles in the morning and went back to take care of him in the afternoon."

Old man Xu looked at the young man in front of him, thinking that he had some money from selling ginseng, so he wanted to give the child some money and let him take his grandfather to Jiyitang to find a doctor for treatment and medicine. But when Xu Cong heard Shen Xiao say that Grandpa Shen had a sudden high fever, she thought it might be serious, so she wanted to go and see him first. After all, she studied medicine in modern times. Although she did not go to the hospital and worked in a pharmaceutical company later, she did not give back all the knowledge she learned to her teacher. Besides, she had space. Her little house had some basic medical equipment such as stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, etc., and she could also buy a lot of medicine.

"Brother Shen Xiao, can you take me to see Grandpa Shen? I know a little bit of medical skills."

"Okay." Shen Xiao nodded heavily. For some reason, he had a natural trust in the girl in front of him.

"Sister Xu, please follow me. My home is behind here." Shen Xiao quickly packed up the tables and chairs and stuffed them behind the noodle stall, then pushed the noodle cart towards home.

Xu Congyi nodded and followed Shen Xiao. Old man Xu was dumbfounded. His granddaughter had just stopped being dumb, how could she know medical skills? This was ridiculous!

Old man Xu quickly walked up to Xu Congyi and asked her in a low voice, "Yiyi, can you treat patients? How come I don't know?"

Xu Congyi knew that Old Man Xu was worried, and patted Grandpa's hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, Grandpa, the immortals also taught me how to practice medicine and gave me a lot of magical medicines and prescriptions, which are very effective, don't worry."

Hearing his granddaughter say this, Old Man Xu felt a little relieved.
