Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages

The celebratory dinner lasted until very late, and they talked for a long time. Although there were many other topics, they mainly talked about what to buy for Mia.

Martha and John's child was too young when they left. He left before he was even out of his cradle, so naturally he didn't have his own room. Martha and John didn't have time to prepare more for him, so their house now has no extra furniture for Mia, otherwise they wouldn't let her sleep on a bed made of hay.

So they had to buy Mia several necessary pieces of furniture, as well as various daily necessities, and if they came across anything suitable for a little girl at the market, they would probably buy it.

"We can buy furniture from carpenters. They might have some in stock, and it's much cheaper than what we get at the market."

"We need to make a few pieces of clothes too. We can go to Antonio, the tailor. He has good craftsmanship."

At this point, Mia raised her hand: "Can I buy the materials and make them myself? Actually, my current clothes can be worn for a long time. I think other people probably can't make the new clothes I want. I can slowly make them myself."

Martha remembered the panties she had supposedly made herself, so she nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll buy the fabric and make them ourselves."

There are many things that need to be purchased, and even the attic where Mia lives needs to be rearranged, which will cost a lot of money, but Martha and John have no intention of letting Mia pay for it herself. Buying things for children is what parents should do.

John even took a pen and paper to record what he wanted to buy. There were very few literate civilians in the Dongbai Empire. Even their previous emperor was illiterate. However, John and Martha were both literate, and Martha was taught to read by her husband.

As their happy new family member was planning, Bayard, as a guest, also made some suggestions. He was not the only son in the family, but his two older siblings were sisters, and his sisters now had daughters. Although they were several years younger than Martha, he still had some understanding of what was needed for a girl's room. It would be fine to just follow the girls' rooms in his sisters' homes.

The fact is that no, Mia, who is eighteen years old, does not accept a little girl's pink bedroom.

However, they did decide what to buy through a conversation.

Of course, only Martha's family was going to the market the next day. Bayard had left last night, and Mia didn't notice any movement next door in the morning, so she guessed that there was no one there.

"That's normal. He's rarely been back since he joined the army. He's either accompanying His Majesty on campaigns or guarding His Majesty's safety in the Grand Palace. To be honest, he's been back more often recently than he was in the previous six months."

Mia knew that Bayard had been coming back for her lately, and she was grateful for that: "Maybe I should prepare something and give it to him the next time I see him."

Martha agreed as she packed up, "Of course my girl, I think he'll be happy with whatever you give him. Bayard is also a very good boy. He's always so helpful. I've never met a better knight than him."

So Mia began to think about what she could give him, and finally decided to give him a gift she made by herself - for example, find a suitable piece of equipment and make it for him, which might increase his strength.

What Mia didn't say was that she also wanted to prepare a gift for Martha and John.

But what to make specifically depends on what crafting recipes Mia can gather.

Another thing Mia also understood was that she could identify plants with medicinal and toxic effects when she touched them, and whether that could be used on humans.

At the party last night, Mia did an experiment on Martha and found that when she put her hand on Martha's wrist, she could automatically detect Martha's physical condition just like touching a medicinal plant. However, she could not detect it if she touched other places or through cloth. At the same time, other people touching her could not trigger this detection effect. This made Mia feel that this triggering condition was like pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, because isn't the wrist the place for pulse diagnosis?

However, Mia doesn't know Chinese medicine, let alone taking a pulse. She can tell the other person's current condition just by touching their wrist. For example, when she met Martha, she knew that she was in good physical condition, but had some minor problems such as "low back pain", "insomnia" and "high blood pressure". It was like seeing the debuff on Martha's body, and she could even sense how long her condition had lasted and when it would get worse.

At the same time, various prescriptions suitable for Martha will automatically appear in the medicine column - I have to add here that the number of prescriptions in the medicine column has become very large after the magic modification. There were only dozens of them before, but now there are probably more than a thousand. When Mia checked it before, it took a long time to pull it all out. She didn't count the exact number. It is very likely that she can find suitable prescriptions for all the diseases in the world. It is simply a complete pharmacopoeia.

Fortunately, when she needed a prescription, the pharmacy column not only automatically displayed the appropriate prescription like Martha, but also had a search function that allowed her to find the prescription by entering relevant information, eliminating the need for her to search one by one.

What's even more special is that Mia discovered that the prescriptions in the medicine column should all be "basic versions". When she "diagnosed" Martha, these prescriptions would automatically adjust the ratio of different medicinal materials. Although she has not used them yet, she feels that these adjusted prescriptions should be more suitable for Martha and are "tailor-made".

She also tried to "take her own pulse" and found that she could actually feel her own physical condition all the time without the specific action of "taking her pulse". It was just that she had been unconscious when she was sick before and did not notice it. When she woke up in the middle, she ignored the vague sense of enlightenment in her heart because she was told about the situation, and she ignored it.

These are all additional effects brought by the pharmaceutical skills. The pharmaceutical skills may be more useful than she thought before. After possessing this skill, even if she does not have medical skills, she can pretend to be a miracle doctor.

Mia felt that if she didn't develop in this area in the future and make John's herbal medicine shop flourish, she would be unworthy of this ability.

When we were almost done packing, John, who had gone to borrow transportation, came back and asked, "Are you guys ready?"

Martha wiped the water off her hands, took off her apron, and pulled Mia out: "Okay, we can go out now!"

There were a lot of things to buy today, and many of them were large and difficult to carry, so John went to his neighbor early in the morning to borrow a donkey cart for delivery.

After a sign indicating the suspension of business was hung on the gate, the three of them drove the donkey cart to the market.

Constantiple is a very prosperous city. It is known as the center of Europe and has a population of 50. It can be said to be the largest city in the world. Other famous big cities of the same period in history (excluding China) were either not yet established at this time or had a population of only tens of thousands, which is completely incomparable to Constantiple.

Such a huge world capital coveted by the whole of Europe naturally cannot have only one market. In fact, in Constantiburg, there are several markets held at the same time every day. Citizens can choose a market nearby to visit, but some large-scale gatherings naturally have to be held in the Grand Square. For example, the market held in the square closest to the Grand Palace is always the largest, and it is held relatively less frequently. There you can see merchants and goods from all over the world, and the variety is so rich that it is definitely eye-opening.

The market on Oppetus Street is just a small-scale market. It is held several times every month and has almost become a regular market. Foreign merchants are relatively rare here. Most of the stalls here are small merchants from other cities and local farmers and craftsmen. Many of them are regular vendors in the market. Naturally, many of them are acquaintances of Martha and John.

"Martha, we have some fresh fish. Would you like some?"

"John, come and try my wine."

"Good morning, who is this girl?"

As soon as they entered the market, they heard people greeting them and selling things to them from all directions. Everyone was shouting loudly, their tone full of smiles and familiarity.

Martha and John also responded loudly. They had to speak loudly because it was too noisy in here and no one could hear them if they spoke any softer.

Because of the two of them, Mia became the focus of everyone's attention. Wherever she went, people would ask her identity. At this time, Martha would proudly tell them: "This is my child, her name is Mia."

As a hidden social phobic, Mia would not feel shy at this time. Instead, she would smile and greet the other person generously, and then take the opportunity to be curious about the goods on the stall.

When she comes across something she needs and likes, Martha doesn't even need to ask, as the familiar stall owner will give her a preferential price. But this will never satisfy Mia. She still takes advantage of her youth and bargains hard, then observes the stall owner's words and expressions while talking, and finally agrees on a price that both of them are satisfied with.

All the stall owners sighed, "This little girl of yours is no ordinary girl. I haven't met someone who is so good at bargaining in a long time. I'm going to lose a lot of money on this business."

Having said that, in fact they all had smiles on their faces that they couldn't hide, which showed that they didn't really lose money. When they were chasing people away, they didn't forget to stuff some small things into Mia's hands as gifts. Although they were all worthless things, it was obvious that everyone liked her very much.

This made Martha and John even more proud, and Mia also satisfied her bargaining addiction, and then walked towards the next stall with an unsatisfied look to continue a new round of battle.
