"Jinyu, after breakfast, go tell Meng Yu and Zhu Changji to come here in the morning to try new products. Meng Yu's shop is far away, so you don't need to set up a carriage. Just ride over quickly and bring Meng Yu over. , remember to take the road by the river, there are fewer people there.”

Jiangnan County is very large. Although the government stipulates that fast horses cannot be ridden in the city, it is always the poor who abide by the rules, but the poor cannot afford horses.

Therefore, in addition to the main urban area, you can often see people hurrying on their way in the more remote streets.

"Yes, I'll go now."

Jinyu put down the dishes, wiped his mouth and left.

"Come here, clear the dishes."

With a shout, Baodong Baoqiu came from the kitchen.

The pavilion was not far from the kitchen, and Yan Xia's voice was quite loud, so the two of them arrived very quickly.

"We are not at home for lunch and have to go back to Shuangqiao Town quickly, so prepare some dry food and water for me and Jinyu to take with us. By the way, get two lanterns to hang on the carriage. We probably have to drive at night, don't forget "The arson discount, and who delivered the goods last night?"

"Master, it's Qian Yi."

Baodong answered Yan Xia while clearing away the dishes.

"Okay, I got it. There are guests coming in the morning. Remember to prepare fruits, pastries and tea. Don't slack off. After an hour, bring the ice powder with the food box. Then make me a cup of tea. Just white pine. , wake up."

Yan Xia was worried that she would be sleepy when she had to drive late at night. White pine tea is a unique tea here, with a strong and bitter taste.

Usually she drinks this tea to feel refreshed.

It's a bit like the ancient "Ice American". Drink a glass to refresh your mind and ensure you don't feel sleepy in the middle of the night.

"Good master."

"Well, you go down." Yan Xia stood up and shook.

She moved from the back door to the front door, just to eat.

There were many flowers planted in the yard, and a swing was hung on the tree, but she had just eaten and didn't play for fear of vomiting.

The interior and exterior of the house, including the corridor, were cleaned very clean, and even the edges of the windows were wiped clean of dust.

It must be swept every day to achieve this effect.

Back in the pavilion, tea was already placed on the table.

Yan Xia looked around and saw no one. She took out a medical book from the space, sat on the bench and read slowly.

She always went into the mountains, and she didn't know anything except ginseng and Ganoderma, which were well-known medicinal herbs. Even if she came across them, she would think they were weeds and crush them under her feet.

In order to prevent this from happening.

Yan Xia is ready to replenish her medical knowledge.

You don’t need to be very proficient, at least you have to understand something superficially.

"Shepherd's purse can detoxify all kinds of poisons. It tastes sweet, cold, and non-toxic. Chew it or boil it into thick juice and drink it. The poison can be detoxified by itself. Because the rhizome is like ginseng, it is often dug by people by mistake... "

"Morning glory seeds are bitter, spicy, cold, and quite toxic. If you eat too much, you will suffer from abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. It is a medicine for deflating qi. It is mainly used to treat gas accumulation and difficulty in defecation and defecation. You can take it... "

"........."

Yan Xia held the book and couldn't move her eyes away. She read out loud unconsciously. She bought this book at a stall for only one tael of silver. It contained not only text but also small pictures. Painted with a brush.

It's simply not worth buying.

Although the paper is yellowed and old.

But the content inside made her gain a lot of knowledge.

The shepherd's purse I just read about looks like a weed, and she wouldn't recognize it even if she met it.

And morning glory can actually cause pregnant women to miscarry. Oh my God, it’s a good thing she didn’t wear it in the palace. Otherwise, if she is a medically illiterate, just drinking the tonic soup given by the concubine, the child will be dead, and she will not be able to survive three episodes. .

Just as she was about to look down again, the sound of footsteps behind her interrupted her.

Yan Xia quickly put the book on the bench and stood up.

"Brother Deng, you are here."

"Yes, it's already early. The business in the morning is average. Xin Bao can handle it by himself, so I'll come quickly."

Deng Qiuzhi did not regard himself as an outsider at all.

He plopped down on the bench.

"Oh, it's already time. Time flies so fast. Most of the time I spent reading a book has passed. Baodong, go get the food box, 6 empty bowls and 11 spoons."

"It's Master." Baodong didn't ask Yan Xia why he took so many spoons.

She just had to obey her master's orders.

As a maid, the most taboo thing is talking too much.

"What kind of book is Shopkeeper Yan reading? Is it a storybook? Is it good to read? I'm really bored in the shop on weekdays. Sometimes when there are few people around, I can only stare in a daze or look at the account books."

Deng Qiuzhi knew how to read, but he didn't like reading.

It's just boring.

But he still likes to read books if they are interesting, such as Pretty Nun and Handsome Scholar, Amnesia Prince and Little Peasant Girl, Charming Widow Sister-in-Law, Please Love Me, etc.

He thought Yan Xia was the same person as him.

Then he curiously asked her what book she had just read.

Thinking about buying a copy myself and reading it.

"Here, the medical book, I just saw the herb identification, can you see it?"

Yan Xia honestly picked up the medical book and handed it to him.

But Deng Qiuzhi didn't even bother to pick it up.

"Uh, forget it, shopkeeper Yan, please spare me, I don't want to see this."

Yan Xia shrugged and put down the medical book. "Is your master still in school?"

Everyone hadn't arrived yet, so Yan Xia had to chat awkwardly with him.

"Yes, it's time to come back in mid-July. It's hot and the school is on vacation for the month. I plan to buy a small house at the end of the month to transition to, in case the dog comes back and doesn't even have a place to stay."

During this period, he made a lot of money, and all the money he owed Yan Xia was paid off.

There is still enough money to buy a house.

But when his son comes back, he still has to explain the divorce to him.

Hey, it’s really getting over my head the more I think about it.

Deng Qiuzhi grimaced and was about to continue chatting when people started to arrive one after another.

Including Yan Xia and Jin Yu, there are eight people in total, and six stools are not enough to sit on.

Baoqiu Baodong brought two more chairs.

Yan Xia had just asked Baodong to put the medical book in the carriage, lest she forget to take it.

Each of the six people placed a bowl and a spoon in front of them.

"Everyone is here, let's start tasting. Baodong Baoqiu, help the shopkeepers to serve it from the first floor."

"It's the master——"

Each of the five new items comes with a spoon.

In order to prevent the smell from spreading, I use the spoon from which bowl I scoop the food.

"This is brown sugar mochi double-skinned milk. Please try it. Remember to rinse your mouth with tea after eating, so as not to taste the next one and get the taste mixed up."

One portion is only enough for one person, so it is divided among six people, and each person's bowl is only enough for one bite.

Everyone eats it together.

"Hey, is this tofu? It's smooth and tender, but it doesn't taste like it. It has a very strong milk flavor and the fragrance of eggs. Shopkeeper Yan, what kind of double skin milk is this?"

"It's really unheard of. It not only tastes like milk, but also has something soft and sticky to the teeth. When the two are combined, I can't wait to eat a big bowl. Shopkeeper Yan, I want to buy this pair of skin milk. I must buy it. I'll have a bowl in the summer. This, the heat has been swept away, haha——"
