Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Along the way, Luo Erya kept chattering and kept asking Yao Qingnian questions. You wouldn't expect Luo Erya to be so lively.

After more than an hour, they finally arrived at the city gate. There was a big Ding'an County written on the city wall. The ox cart drove into the city and came under a big tree.

"Everyone, hurry up to buy anything you want. We will return to the village as soon as the 3:00 p.m. time comes. Those who miss the chance will have to find a way to return on their own." Uncle Tiezhu reminded everyone as usual not to forget the time.

Shenshi is 3 o'clock in the afternoon today, which is about 10 o'clock in ancient times. There are still several hours left, which should be enough.

According to the original owner's memory, Yao Qingnian first went to the grocery store, saw what seasonings there were, and bought some to take home for the braising sauce. The ingredients at this time were relatively simple, the basics being oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and spices, which could only be bought in a pharmacy.

I went to the grocery store and bought ingredients such as sugar, salt, and soy sauce, spending more than a hundred coins. Sugar and salt were very expensive in ancient times.

The next step was to go to the rice shop. Yao Qingnian really didn’t want to eat brown rice porridge anymore. She wanted to eat rice.

When she arrived at the shop, the boss greeted her warmly.

"Girl, what do you want to buy? Brown rice, coarse noodles or something else?"

Seeing that Yao Qingnian was wearing coarse cloth clothes, the boss introduced him tactfully.

"How much is the refined rice, boss?"

"Fine rice is 30 cents a pound, how much do you want, young lady?"

My God, thirty cents, much more expensive than meat.

"What about brown rice and semolina?"

"Brown rice is five cents a pound, coarse flour is eight cents"

One pound of refined rice can buy five or six pounds of brown rice. The purpose of making money is to spend it.

"Boss, give me 20 kilograms of refined rice and 20 kilograms of coarse flour!"

Gritting his teeth, Yao Qingnian bought twenty kilograms of fine rice and twenty kilograms of coarse flour, spending seven hundred and sixty coins at once.

The boss smiled and packed it for her: "Girl, take care and come back next time."

After leaving the grain shop and spending almost half of the money, Yao Qingnian found a deserted place and put the rice into the space.

It was almost noon and Yao Qingnian was growling with hunger. She looked for a place to eat something and came to a wonton stall.

"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons."

"Okay, girl, please sit down."

At dinner time, many people who came to the city to attend the market crowded into this wonton stall.

The aroma of wontons attracted many people.

"Girl, your wontons are ready. Please enjoy."

The wontons are crystal clear, white and plump, and look very appetizing. I scoop one up and put it in my mouth. It has a delicate texture, melts in the mouth, and the meat filling is delicious.

After eating a bowl of wontons, my stomach was filled with a happy feeling.

Wontons cost ten cents each, and they were large in portion and filled with fillings. Yao Qingnian was so full that he ate until he was full.

He had bought almost everything he wanted, with only spices left. After a short rest, Yao Qingnian got up and walked towards the pharmacy.

She first came to the largest pharmacy in the city—Tiancheng Medical Clinic, thinking that if the store was bigger, the items would be more complete, and she could also ask them if they accepted medicinal materials. If she encountered them next time she went into the mountains, she could earn extra money.

Unexpectedly, before Yao Qingnian even stepped into the pharmacy, the doorman came out to chase him away: "Go away, go away, beggar, where did you come from? Don't stand in front of the door and disturb our business!"

"Beggar? Are you talking about me?"

Yao Qingnian was a little bit unbelievable. How did he become a beggar?

"Who else could it be if not you? Our Tiancheng Clinic is a place only poor people like you can come to. Why don't you ask around? Get out of here and go back to where you came from!"

She looked down at her clothes, which were indeed tattered, but the clinic was a place to treat illnesses and save lives, and everyone, regardless of their status, was qualified to see a doctor and get medicine. It was a bit of a dog's eye to look down on others.

"Bah! Black-hearted clinic! I won't even go in if you let me in! You dare to hang a plaque saying 'Doctors with a Benevolent Heart'? You don't deserve it."

"You stinking beggar, what nonsense are you talking about! If you don't get out of here, I'll have you beaten!"

Yao Qingnian turned around and threw a stone, knocking the plaque down. It fell right next to the worker, who was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.

"I was so scared! How could such a good plaque fall down?"

"Afu, what are you doing? Come in quickly!" A middle-aged man's voice came from inside.

Yao Qing left without thinking, and came to another clinic - Deshantang

"anyone there?"

"Yes! Sister, do you want to see a doctor or get medicine? Please wait a moment, my master is busy!"

A pharmacist ran out and asked politely, his attitude was completely different from that of Tiancheng Medical Clinic.

“I want to buy some medicinal herbs.”

Yao Qingnian took out a piece of paper with the names of medicinal herbs written on it.

"Sister, your prescription is a mess. What is it for? It can't cure the disease."

"You are quite considerate. This is not a prescription, but an ingredient for cooking. Just help me pick it."

Yao Qingnian cast an admiring look at the little medicine boy.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The little medicine boy went to get the medicine with Yao Qingnian's prescription.

"Angelica, fennel... where are they? I clearly remember putting them here, fourth row, fifth grid..."

After searching for a long time, he finally found everything Yao Qingnian wanted.

"Your herbs are ready. The total is thirty cents."

The medicine boy packed the medicine and handed it to Yao Qingnian.

"Do you accept herbs and medicinal materials?"

Yao Qingnian paid the money and asked.

"Yes, we do. We collect all commonly used herbs. The price is determined by the quality. If you have any, you can send them to us. The price is absolutely fair."

"Okay, I'll send it over if I have any! By the way, I saw you looking for herbs for a long time just now."

This medicine boy was polite and attentive. Seeing that he had a hard time finding herbs, Yao Qingnian wanted to help him.

"There are too many herbs and I remembered the wrong location. Hehe."

"There are so many medicinal herbs here, do you remember where they are placed?"

"I remember, my master taught me!"

"A doctor cannot make mistakes. It doesn't matter if you remember the wrong location, but it will be troublesome if you take the wrong medicine and delay the treatment. Sister will teach you a way to quickly remember the location of the medicinal materials without making mistakes."

"Sister, do you have any good ideas?"

"Write down the names of the herbs and stick them on the corresponding medicine boxes. When you pick up the herbs, follow the prescription and the names on them, and you won't make mistakes! You can see them at a glance, so you don't have to worry about making mistakes."

"This is a good method. I'll tell the master later. Thank you, sister!"

The medicine boy happily escorted Yao Qingnian out of the shop and told her to come to him if she needed anything.

After leaving the pharmacy, she went to buy other daily necessities. She had only five hundred coins left out of two taels of silver. It is easy to spend money but difficult to make money. This silver was too precious and would be gone if she bought anything casually.

Seeing that it was still early, Yao Qingnian strolled along the streets and bought some small things to bring back for Yinuo.
