Seeing the maid coming towards Song Yuntang, Song Jinsheng hurried forward and took the hexagonal coarse pottery pot with peppers from her hand.

"Miss Song, I am Baosheng, and these are the chili pepper trees and chili pepper seeds that Madam specially asked me to bring." As she spoke, she took out a small wooden box filled with chili pepper seeds from her arms and handed it to Song Yuntang.

Song Yuntang took it with both hands.

"Please ask Miss Baosheng to thank Madam Zhu on my behalf."

Bao Sheng smiled respectfully, "My wife asked me to tell you something, young lady. Thank you for helping our master solve his problems. If you have time in the future, please come to our house to chat."

Song Yuntang smiled and reached out to take the last two bottles of shampoo from the basket and handed them to Baosheng.

"It's not a very valuable item. Please ask Miss Baosheng to bring it to Madam Zhu for me."

Baosheng took it, bowed slightly to Song Yuntang, then turned and left.

Song Yuntang didn't stay long and left immediately after him.

On the way, Xu Qingye was worried that Song Yuntang had not eaten anything at noon. When passing by a dessert shop, he bought Song Yuntang a cup of sour plum soup cooled with well water and a refreshing and delicious cold cake.

After walking outside for a while, Song Yuntang felt much better. Now he could drink a sip of sweet and sour plum soup. Although there was no ice cubes, the cool feeling after being cooled by well water was extremely comfortable.

The cool cold cake in her mouth made her squint her eyes with pleasure.

Seeing her eyes curved with joy as she ate, Xu Qingye felt relieved and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

A teenage girl still has the mind of a child.

"Eat slowly, it's all yours."

Song Yuntang was stunned and looked up at the tall man next to her. In the sunlight, his profile was particularly handsome, and her face was reflected in his deep eyes, clearly visible.

He smiled, lowered his head and continued to eat the food in his hand, but his mind was already in a mess.

Song Jinsheng just thought of himself as a deaf and blind person, and walked a few steps faster so that he wouldn't be bothered. However, he was happy in his heart that Xu Qingye was willing to pamper Song Yuntang.

Zhuang Ziang also raised his hand to touch his nose feeling a little uncomfortable, and tried not to look in the direction of the two people. He used to feel that Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang had nothing in common, but now he just felt that the more he looked at them, the more they seemed to be a good match.

Only at this moment did he truly realize that Song Yuntang seemed to have really let go of the Lin family.

With Zhuang Ziang's carriage, the four of them ran to three medicinal material wholesalers as quickly as possible. Finally, at the third one, Song Yuntang bargained them down to the lowest price of eighty taels of silver for the medicinal materials. As a result, she didn't even have thirty taels of silver left.

However, Xu Qingye and Zhuang Ziang were still surprised that she could come up with so much silver.

"Is your shop so profitable?" Zhuang Ziang asked.

Song Yuntang said softly, "My shop has just opened, it's impossible for me to make so much money all at once. This is earned from other places."

Zhuang Ziang became even more curious.

"Where did you earn it?"

"County town." After Song Yuntang said this, he asked someone to put the medicinal materials on the carriage.

The carriage they were riding in could not accommodate many people, so they chartered another carriage, loaded the herbs onto the carriage, and set off back to Cile Town.

Song Jinsheng followed the carriage behind, while Song Yuntang, Xu Qingye and the other two were in the carriage in front. Xu Qingye was originally the one driving the carriage, but Zhuang Ziang felt that it was inappropriate for him and Song Yuntang to stay in the carriage, so he left the carriage and sat on the other side of Xu Qingye.

Along the way, the two chatted occasionally. As friends for many years, there were some things that didn't need to be said much, and everyone understood each other tacitly.

After running for such a long day, Song Yuntang was tired. She leaned on the carriage and listened to the conversation outside. She fell asleep while listening. When she woke up, the carriage was not far from Cile Town, and Xu Qingye, who was originally sitting outside the carriage, now sat next to her.

When she woke up, her head was resting on his shoulder.

"We just passed a bumpy road, and I was worried you might bump into the car."

Song Yuntang rubbed his knees awkwardly, "I don't know how I fell asleep."

Xu Qingye simply said, "It's normal for people to feel sleepy when they're tired."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Song Yuntang and went out of the carriage again.

It’s not that I don’t want to be with her, but I’m afraid the girl will feel embarrassed.

……

When the carriage arrived at the door of the house and several people unloaded all the medicinal herbs, Song Yuntang paid eighty cents to the driver of the carriage behind and let him leave.

Zhuang Ziang didn't stay here for long. He helped them move the herbs into the house and then went back.

It was already past the afternoon, which was the late sunset time in summer, but the sky was still bright.

Looking at the two hungry puppies, the first thing Song Yuntang did when he got home was to go to the kitchen to light the stove and cook porridge. He also cut up the remaining braised meat and threw two slices to the two puppies to fill their stomachs. He also added water and food to the chickens and ducks in the cage.

Seeing that the water in the basin under the chive box had dried up and the vegetables were a little wilted, Song Yuntang watered the chives and the pepper tree that had just been moved into the yard.

Song Jinsheng and Xu Qingye were also busy. They moved all 300 bamboo jars they brought in the morning out of the house and washed them in a large basin of water.

"Tang'er, you need to build a few shelves in your yard, otherwise there won't be enough space to put these bamboo pots after they are washed." Song Jinsheng said while busying himself.

"Second brother, please help me when you are free. The main thing is that I don't plan to live here for a long time. Once I make some more money, I will definitely buy my own yard and move out. I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient to move too many things." Song Yuntang expressed his concerns.

Song Jinsheng hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, when the time comes, my second brother will call a few people to help you. A few wooden shelves won't be a problem."

After washing the bamboo pot, the food was served on the table: a pot of thick white rice porridge, a portion of braised meat and a large bowl of bean sprouts.

No one had lunch, only a few pieces of cake, and they were already hungry.

Song Yuntang served a small bowl to the two puppies, and the rest was eaten up by the three of them.

After dinner, Song Jinsheng and Xu Qingye went home while there was still some light. After a while, Mu Dong and Mu Qiu delivered today's profits to their home.

"Miss Song, the profit of the shop today is less than seven taels, slightly less than yesterday. The total amount of silver in the money box plus yesterday's is seven taels and six qian. I brought you six taels, and the rest is still in the money box. The shop will use it for change later." Mu Dong said as he handed the purse to Song Yuntang.

"Row."

Song Yuntang took the purse he handed over, and with the money in his hand plus the six taels, he had a total of thirty-three taels. After tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it should not be difficult to get forty taels.

"After the recent days of excitement in the shop have passed, business will gradually calm down. You don't have to worry. It's normal for profits to fluctuate from day to day."

The two nodded.

Mu Qiu said, "There's one more thing. We don't have much left in the shop. I counted the goods twice when I left, and there are only about 130 cans left."

Song Yuntang smiled. Mu Qiu had really grown a lot after these days of training.

"I just finished my work and was planning to make two pots. Mudong, can you help me check the grocery store? If there's any open, buy me a bigger pot."

As she spoke, she counted out two hundred copper coins and handed them to Mu Dong.

"Don't worry, Miss Song. Even if the door is closed, I will knock it open and buy the pot for you." After Mu Dong said this, he took the silver and ran away.
