"Thank you, Doctor Li, and thank you, young lady." The two middle-aged men bowed to the two of them repeatedly to express their gratitude.

"This is my duty. It is this young girl's knowledge and courage that are admirable. I am just a frog in a well." Doctor Li waved to the two of them, and looked at Meixiang with eyes full of admiration.

Although Dr. Li was a bit arbitrary at the beginning, his attitude of being able to bend and stretch and to admit his mistakes is also worthy of admiration.

"Doctor Li, your words are too serious. Learning never stops." Meixiang smiled kindly at Doctor Li, "I will have to trouble you again later."

The old and the young smiled at each other, as if they were going to forget all their grudges with a smile, and there was also a feeling of regret that they had met too late.

Seeing this, the people around burst into laughter and left the pharmacy in all directions.

Xiaosan and Xiaosi only then remembered the backpack. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and they hurriedly got up to look for the backpack. When they saw that the things in the basket were still safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Meixiang followed the gazes of Xiaosan and Xiaosi and saw the familiar figure standing next to the backpack, and then saw the figures of the young man and the girl who followed them.

It seems that I have to carry the handkerchief at home with me at all times, so that I can return it to him next time I meet him. Meixiang made up her mind secretly.

After the three of them packed up their things and left, Meixiang came to the older middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, I have a favor to ask for, am I right to say it?"

The middle-aged man looked terrified when he heard this: "Little girl, I don't know how to thank you for what happened today. Tell me what you want to say."

"I want to ask, is there any food that my father-in-law ate left at home? Do you remember where you dug it up?" Meixiang asked, trying to control her excitement.

"Oh, I thought it was something big. We still have some of that stuff at home. I dug it up on the back mountain the day before yesterday." The middle-aged uncle's heart trembled when he saw Meixiang's serious face. He thought it was something big but he didn't expect her to ask this. His heart, which had risen to his throat, fell back to its original place with a "gulp".

"Uncle, would it be convenient for me to go to your house and the back mountain to take a look? I want to find something to study so that I won't end up in the same situation as my father-in-law today."

"Sure, sure. My home is the last house behind the village next to Liujia Village. My name is Liu Daniu and you will know when you ask when you enter the village. If it is convenient for you, I will wait for you at home tomorrow morning. How about that?" the middle-aged man said cheerfully.

"Very good, very good. It's settled then." Meixiang got the answer she wanted and a smile appeared on her face.

He put the backpack on his back, nodded to the shop owner and others, turned around and took Xiao San and Xiao Si to walk towards Chen San and others who were looking at him from afar.

"Miss, what's going on?" When Chen San saw someone coming over, he hurriedly went up to her and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing. I just happened to meet an old man who had eaten something he shouldn't have and got food poisoning. I helped him out." Meixiang said calmly.

"Poison?" Chen San's face changed instantly when he heard the word. He didn't care about anything else and grabbed Meixiang's hand to feel her pulse. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief and remembered his overstepping behavior. He immediately wanted to kneel down and apologize.

"No need to be so polite." Mei Xiang raised her hand to stop him. "I was careless and didn't consider your feelings, but I know that the old man just ate it by mistake, not by human nature."

"Miss, you'd better be careful in the future and never be careless." Chen San still whispered to her after hearing this. The young lady's life is not only crucial to herself, but also to the entire Haoyue.

Mei Xiang nodded to show that she understood, "By the way, have you sold your things?"

Only then did Mei Ying put down her hand that was blocking the crowd, and Xiao Shiqi and others gathered around. Mei Xiang looked at the excited crowd, and it was obvious that this trip was fruitful.

"Miss, we sold more than ten taels of silver." Xiao Shiwu was a cheerful and outgoing girl. She couldn't help but be the first to tell Meixiang the good news.

"Wow, how come there are so many?" Meixiang was also shocked when she heard this. You have to know that the current price of rice is only five cents per bushel, which can feed an adult for 25 days. Ten taels of silver is an astronomical figure for an ordinary family.

"I'm lucky today. The guest of the City Lord's Mansion was worried about the rare game these days, and the steward was so happy that he gave eight taels of silver and bought two wild boars."

"The Zhang family in the south of the city wanted to nourish their young lady, so they collected more than a dozen black chickens at once and gave them two taels. They also said that if they caught any in the future, they would be sent directly to his family."

Chen San explained the whole story in two sentences, and Meixiang exclaimed that she was really lucky. Since she had money and it was noon, then...

"We are lucky today. Miss, how about I take everyone to eat something delicious?"

"Great!"

"That's great. That's great." When Little Seventeen heard there was something delicious to eat, he jumped up immediately.

"Meiying, you are more familiar with this city. Go find a suitable place to eat. After dinner we will go buy supplies separately. By the way, send someone to call the waiter and others who are watching the car over." Meixiang continued to instruct.

Everyone happily talked about what to eat and walked together towards the market where they would eat.

"Do you know that woman?" Meixiang saw the woman standing not far away and waving at them.

"It's Aunt Li, it's Aunt Li, she's waving at me." Little Fifteen was the first to react, and rushed over there while shouting.

"Little Fifteen, stop right there." Mei Ying was so anxious that she yelled, "Where did you learn the rules?"

Before Mei Ying could finish her words, Xiao Shiwu had already rushed to the woman, hugged her thighs, and chattered with his head tilted back, inaudible.

"Okay, it's rare for you to get out, so relax a little today. I'll teach you the rules when we get back." Meixiang stopped Meiying from scolding.

"Yes, miss, the lady in front is surnamed Li, and we all call her Aunt Li. Her husband and son died of illness a few years ago, and she is the only one left at home to run the wonton stall. Whenever she saw us, she would more or less give us some wontons to satisfy our cravings, so everyone likes her very much." Meiying took the initiative to explain Aunt Li's life experience to Meixiang and Chen San.

"Miss, can we just eat wontons today? Don't worry, although Aunt Li's stall is a bit simple, it is absolutely clean and hygienic. Her wontons have thin skin and rich fillings, and the soup is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue." Meiying was afraid that Meixiang would misunderstand something, so she hurried to explain.

"Delicious, Aunt Li's wontons are the best!"

"Yes, yes, let's just eat Aunt Li's wontons, okay?"

Meixiang looked into the children's eager eyes. She couldn't bear to refuse them, but she also wanted to see what kind of person Aunt Li they were talking about was.
