Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

As the saying goes, if you have money in your hand, you won’t be worried. If you don’t spend the money, it will be wasted when you die.

The pork was sold for more than 2 taels, and Ma Cuilan compensated half a tael. With a huge sum of 3 taels in hand, Xiao Yunxi confidently slapped Tang Niuniu on the face.

"Niuniu, whatever you want to eat, mom will buy it for you."

Tang Niuniu blinked her big, innocent eyes:

"Second meat."

In her world, meat was probably the most delicious thing. Xiao Yunxi patted her head:

"My daughter, let's open up our horizons and have higher aspirations, such as candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

Dabao was speechless for a moment. So this is all there is when you open the box?

Tang Niuniu's eyes were filled with clear confusion.

Got it!

I don't understand at all.

Xiao Yunxi shook her head helplessly and took her little hand.

"Lets Dog!"

"Flask!"

Passersby looked at him with pity, thinking that he was so young and stupid.

Although Dongshan Town is small, it has everything it needs. There are all kinds of shops in the town. Xiao Yunxi is excited to go shopping.

First, the necessities of life.

If there is lard at home, you can buy 3 kilograms of rapeseed oil as a supplement. There are 3 children in the family, so 20 kilograms each of white flour and rice, and 10 kilograms each of cornmeal and millet.

There are also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar,

There is no white sugar, I bought maltose.

The meat at home needs to be marinated, and she also has a plan to make money, so she buys 15 kilograms of salt, 10 kilograms of coarse salt and 5 kilograms of fine salt.

The price of salt varies greatly. Poor salt has more impurities and a stronger astringency, so it is naturally cheaper. Good salt is of similar quality to modern salt, but the price is higher.

Xiao Yunxi read many online novels, and the time traveler must do business: selling salt. She could only say that it was natural.

Purifying salt is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has low production capacity. It's exhausting work and you can easily get yourself killed. It's the kind of Nine Clans Candy Crush game you'd find in a fool's errand.

She had to buy pots, pans, kitchen knives, spatulas, soup spoons, and steamers. She also bought a big pot, which cost 400 wen. Since it was related to her plan to make money, she gritted her teeth and bought it!

I went to a ready-made clothing shop and spent a huge amount of money to buy four sets of clothes, one for each person in the family. It’s not that I couldn’t afford two sets, but it’s more cost-effective to make them myself.

I bought a piece of coarse cloth, two quilts, and some needles and thread, then went back to ask Aunt Li for help. She didn't know how to make clothes.

Passing by a rouge shop, she couldn't help but stop, picked up a box of rouge, smelled it, looked at the price, and put it down. She had just made ends meet, so why would she need a bicycle?

Rag dolls are cheap, so I bought one for Niu Niu. The little girl hugged the doll and laughed so hard that her eyes were invisible.

After buying almost everything, I went to the clinic.

There is only one medical clinic in Dongshan Town. It is very large, but there are not many people there. Two pharmacists are tidying up the medicine cabinet, and the old doctor is lying in a rocking chair, drowsy.

The old doctor's surname is Lu. He studied under an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital. He used to work at Caochuntang, the largest chain of medical clinics in Daxia. He opened this clinic while returning to Dongshan to retire.

Because of his superb medical skills, many patients from the county would come to him, but his consultation fees were not cheap.

Hearing that he was a doctor, Dr. Lu took Dabao's pulse, opened the wound to examine it, and felt and kneaded Dabao's leg. He pointed at the simple splint and asked:

"Who fixed it?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"Did you connect his bones?"

"Yes."

"Do you know medicine?"

“I have a basic understanding.”

Doctor Lu rubbed his hands together, his face squinting like a chrysanthemum.

"Are you interested in coming to the clinic for consultation?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head:

"Not interested in."

Doctor Lu's expression changed slower than turning the pages of a book, and he said coldly:

"Prepare the medicine. 150 Wen for the external injuries. The bone injury needs treatment. Two courses of treatment, a total of 2 liang."

Danniu stared and exclaimed, "I didn't dare to say you were robbing me,

Doctor Lu looked at Xiao Yunxi.

"Bone conditioning is the most complicated, and the key ingredient is tiger bone powder. Young lady, you know medicine and you should know how rare tiger bones are. I don't make money, but I can't lose money either. If you can come and see me, I can waive the medicine fee."

"Not coming."

Doctor Lu snorted coldly and stretched out his hand:

"Two taels, give me the money."

Tang Dabao bit his lips tightly:

“We can’t cure it!”

Doctor Lu glared:

"Treat it! It must be treated!"

“We have no money!”

He spent two taels of silver on shopping, leaving him with no money to buy medicine. Xiao Yunxi rubbed his head:

"Nothing is more important than you. Don't worry about money."

Suddenly I want to cry,

Tang Dabao turned his head and wiped his eyes secretly. He was a stubborn but somewhat cute child.

"Old doctor, I have many children at home, so I can't see patients all the time. But if you need me, you can come to Tangjia Village to find me, how about that?"

"make a deal!"

Doctor Lu knew Da Niu and was not afraid that Xiao Yunxi would cheat him, so he asked the medicine boy to find a patient with a broken bone. Xiao Yunxi easily set the bone and he readily gave her the medicine for free.

After sending Xiao Yunxi away, Doctor Lu asked the medicine boy to go to the county immediately.

"Notify your senior brother to pick up that lady and send her to Tangjia Village for medical treatment."

The medicine boy scratched his head:

"Master, aren't you afraid that she won't be able to be cured?"

Doctor Lu curled his lips:

"I've told you countless times that the most important things in medical training are observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. The young lady's bone setting and fixation techniques definitely show that her medical skills are not low."

So this is what the four methods of observation, listening, questioning and palpation mean?

After leaving the clinic, Xiao Yunxi went to the market and bought some small items.

“Candied Haws… sweet and sour candied haws!”

"Two cents for one string, five cents for two strings!"

Tang Niuniu licked her lips and smacked her lips, while Tang Xiaobao drooled and stared at her intently.

"Do you want to eat candied haws?"

Tang Xiaobao didn't say anything, and Tang Niuniu replied crisply:

"miss you!"

"If you want to eat candied haws, call me mother. If you want to eat cakes, call me the most beautiful mother."

Tang Niuniu shouted twice in a crisp and sweet voice without any bones:

"Cool, the most beautiful cool..."

"Hey!"

Xiao Yunxi smiled happily and smeared saliva on Niuniu's face.

Tang Dabao's forehead was full of black lines. If he had a kindergarten diploma, he wouldn't be like this.

Tang Xiaobao hesitated for a long time, looked at his elder brother, then at his stepmother, and then at the candied haws. Finally:

"mother……"

He has a bottom line. He can't call out the most beautiful mother.

The corners of Tang Dabao's mouth twitched. Can he still have a younger brother or sister?

Xiao Yunxi was very satisfied.

After beating up Ma Cuilan, the children's attitude towards her changed a lot, especially Tang Niuniu, who was basically won over. Tang Xiaobao was half-hearted, but Dabao still had a long way to go!

I bought 4 candied haws and 4 servings of sweet osmanthus cakes, but no Dabao ones.

The honest Da Niu wanted to give his candied haws to Dabao, but Xiao Yunxi didn't allow it. Instead, Xiao Bao and Niu Niu secretly gave candied haws to Dabao, and she pretended not to see it.

“Candied Haws… sweet and sour candied haws!”

"Two cents for one string, five cents for two strings!"

Xiao Yunxi listened to the vendor's shouting and thought about how Niu Niu had to pay 10 cents for four candied haws. Xiao Yunxi felt that it was necessary to teach the children mathematics.

"Can Mommy teach you arithmetic?"

Dabao was silent, Xiaobao was confused, and Niuniu was cheering:

"it is good!"

My daughter is still considerate:

"Arithmetic is the foundation of mathematics, and the multiplication table is one of the foundations of arithmetic. Read after me."

"One one makes one, one two makes two, two two makes four, one three makes three, two three makes six, three three makes nine, one four makes four, two four makes eight..."

Xiaobao and Niuniu didn't understand at all, but they thought the multiplication table was catchy and followed along, nodding their heads. Only Dabao frowned and looked at Xiao Yunxi in shock.

He even knew the Nine Nines Song in the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. Ordinary people would never have seen it. How did the stepmother know it?
