My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

"No, bro, I'm offering these for 30 coins each, and buy one get one free."

"No, no, buy one get one free? You're not honest at all. If I didn't know the price, I would have been ripped off by you for thirty coins a piece." The man looked at him with disdain.

How can a working person put up with this kind of treatment?

Yang Fenglan immediately begged for mercy, "Look at what you're saying, I didn't have time to finish speaking before you were in such a hurry to leave."

"Buy one get one free, but the free one is a tiny little thing. Where's the discount?"

"You've misunderstood. Buy one get one free means customers can choose any size they like."

“Look, they’re so big, and they’re still alive. It’s not unreasonable to sell one for twenty, right? Two would be…” Yang Fenglan suddenly paused.

"Forty..." The man calculated the bill and found that buying two here would be ten coins cheaper.

But two is too many...

Seeing the man's hesitant expression, Yang Fenglan stopped trying to sell and instead looked at the passersby.

He shouted, "Fish for sale! Buy one get one free for thirty coins! Choose whatever you like! First come, first served!"

What does it mean to choose first? It means being able to pick the live, big, and good ones.

The man gritted his teeth and bought it! Where else could you find fish this cheap?

He immediately picked out the two largest ones, and Yang Fenglan helped him tie them up with straw rope, earning him thirty coins.

"Fish for sale, buy one get one free for thirty coins, pick whatever you like, first come first served."

With a good start, Yang Fenglan felt no pressure when she started selling.

There weren't many fish in this batch; the two largest ones were picked out, and the rest weren't as big as the others' fish, which cost fifteen coins each.

But Yang Fenglan still sold two for thirty coins each, and sold four more. The remaining ones were sold for twenty coins each, then for twelve coins each.

They sold them for twenty coins once, then twelve coins three times. In the end, only three small fish, no bigger than the palm of your hand, were left. They sold them for ten coins for three, and people were still fighting over them.

It sold for a total of 156 coins.

In those days, fish were difficult to transport, so people would tie them with straw and carry them directly to the city to sell, even if they were dead.

Yang Fenglan chose to use buckets and select live animals, which gave her a significant advantage in selling them.

After selling all the fish, it wasn't even noon yet.

Yang Fenglan bought a steamed bun, picked up the empty bucket, and went to the clinic.

After inquiring at several clinics, I found the cheapest prescription from Dr. Zhang in the village, which cost sixty coins per dose.

Yang Fenglan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it wasn't as expensive as I imagined."

Yang Fenglan bought two doses of medicine, spending 120 coins.

There are 36 coins left. One coin for a steamed bun, three coins for the carriage fare, and 32 coins left.

I want to buy osmanthus cake; I want to buy candied hawthorn; I want to buy meat.

I want to buy hairpins, palm-leaf fans, rouge...

Think about it, it doesn't cost anything to think about it anyway.

Yang Fenglan left the city while munching on a steamed bun.

Gu Laosan happened to be out as well. He hadn't arranged to meet anyone for a ride today, so the two of them went straight back to Qingshui Village.

As soon as Yang Fenglan got home, she laid out the accounts with Shen Yu.

Thirty-two coins, sixteen coins each for them. Zhou Jingyi's medicine had already been bought, so his share didn't need to be separated.

Shen Yu looked at his sixteen coins and remained silent.

Yang Fenglan explained, "Xiaoyu, there's really no other way. The medicine is expensive, and if we don't use it, Jingyi's leg won't get better. And your matter..."

Yang Fenglan didn't explain, but Shen Yu understood, nodded, and didn't offer any opinion.

Yang Fenglan went into her room to hide the money.

The money from selling chickens and rabbits last time, including hers and Zhou Jingyi's, totaled 31 coins. Adding today's 16 coins, she has saved a total of 47 coins.

Yang Fenglan didn't know whether she should be happy or not.

"Don't be discouraged, there's still honeysuckle." Yang Fenglan encouraged herself.

While looking for a clinic, she casually asked the shopkeeper if they accepted honeysuckle.

Medical clinics and pharmacies all accept dried goods, with prices ranging from five to thirty coins per pound, depending on the quality.

In the evening, Xu Yingying called a five or six-year-old boy to deliver a message to Yang Fenglan.

"Auntie, my sister says everything is normal."

The little guy's name is Xu Chunsheng. Although his clothes are rough, they are clean. He has a chubby face that makes you want to pinch his cheeks.

"So cute." Yang Fenglan couldn't help but rub her face a couple of times. "Go ahead and tell your sister that I received it."

"Okay, goodbye Auntie."

This polite little guy is actually my best friend's younger brother.

This was the first time Yang Fenglan had ever felt so jealous of her best friend.

Such a cute and polite little guy, it would be so nice to switch him with her silly son.
