Zhang Zhao took the prescription and thought about it for a long time. He looked at the prescription and then looked at Zhou Ning, which made Zhou Ning feel numb.

Zhang Zhao gave Zhou Ning another twenty-five taels of silver, and was still a little confused when he put the silver in her hand.

Zhou Ning continued: "The snake head is burnt, the hedgehog skin is burnt, the clam is burnt..."

Zhang Zhao's originally frowned brows became more and more relaxed.

"Grind the above into very fine powder, add refined honey to make pills, as big as sycamore seeds. Take two pills each time, increase to three pills, on an empty stomach or before going to bed with warm wine. If you do not feel any pain in urination, take one or two more pills, and stop when you feel pain."

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this thing would be on the test, so she memorized it.

After hearing the last part, Zhang Zhao stood up from his chair and said with emotion, "I never thought there would be such a wonderful recipe in the world. Little girl, if you have any more recipes and herbs in the future, just send them to me and I will take them all."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Ning agreed readily, but he had other plans in his mind.

Finally, Zhang Zhao sent Zhou Ning out of the pharmacy with a smile.

Zhou Ning saw Shen You and the others and said with a smile, "Let's go buy something."

Liu Qingxiu and Zhou Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Shen You looked as if he had known this for a long time.

You know what, this town is quite lively.

Zhou Ning and his group went to the grain store first.

The Shen family no longer needs to buy food, after all, they still have land.

Zhou Ning and Zhou Wan really need to buy something.

The grain store mainly sells rice and noodles.

Rice can be divided into refined rice, fine rice and cheap rice.

The refined rice is crystal clear and delicious. One hundred and ten coins per hu.

Fine rice is rice that is not crystal clear in appearance, and it costs 70 wen per hu.

The cheap rice is quite excessive. It looks like it has been stored for a very long time and has a faint brown color. But it is also cheap, only 20 wen per hu.

As for noodles, they are much cheaper.

The best noodles cost only seventy cents.

This place is quite prosperous and many people come to buy things, so the boss can't take care of them, but he didn't drive out Zhou Ning, who was like a beggar.

Zhou Ning calculated in her mind that an adult woman would eat at least 30 to 40 kilograms of rice a month, so she would have to buy at least 80 kilograms of food.

Zhou Ning said, "Boss, give me a hu of fine rice and a hu of noodles."

Zhou Wan followed Zhou Ning into the store with some doubt.

In her opinion, it was impossible for farmers to buy food from such land, but they really had no food.

But when he heard Zhou Ning was buying fine rice, he hurriedly said, "A Ning, just buy that kind of noodles. The worst kind only costs fifteen cents, and you don't need two hu. One hu is enough."

"Sister, I have money." Zhou Ning said.

When Zhou Ning took out the money, Zhou Wan was stunned.

What a huge piece of silver! I have never seen such a large piece of silver in my life.

In fact, it’s just a piece of silver the size of a little finger.

Liu Qingxiu didn't expect that Zhou Ning's sale would be so valuable.

Finally, Zhou Ning looked at the rice and flour, then at the group of fragile women, and gave the waiter three cents to ask him to look after them first. The waiter happily promised to take good care of them.

The next step is to go to the cloth shop to buy cloth.

Zhou Wan took us to this cloth shop.

As soon as she saw Zhou Wan, a lady smiled and said, "It's Miss Wan. I haven't seen you for a while. You must be feeling like working again."

Zhou Wan replied naturally: "Yes, Aunt Zhuang, I'm here to do some work, but we're also here to buy some cloth today."

Aunt Zhuang said enthusiastically, "Dear guest, please come in. For your sake, I will definitely give you a discount."

Zhou Ning was surprised that this sister was not as weak and gullible as she seemed. She was very familiar with the owners of the cloth shops in the town and did not appear weak at all during the conversation.

"I wonder what you want to see?" According to Zhou Wan's attire, Aunt Zhuang would definitely recommend some linen cloth, but Aunt Zhuang didn't think Shen You and the others were poor.

Zhou Ning smiled and said, "Auntie, I want to see some cotton cloth for making clothes and quilts."

"Okay. We received a new batch of goods yesterday. I think this fine cotton is very good for making clothes. You are Wan's sister, right? People of your age, um, this mauve color is very good." Aunt Zhuang introduced.

"Wan girl is more suitable for this crescent-shaped white, call her Su Jing."

"Is this lady Wan's...mother?"

This was really awkward. Zhou Wan didn't know how to introduce herself, so Liu Qingxiu explained, "I'm her neighbor. We just came here for a stroll today."

Zhou Wan looked at Liu Qingxiu with gratitude.

Aunt Zhuang felt something was wrong, but she didn't expose it. She said, "Sister, I see that you are fair-skinned. This Bishan Green is just right for you."

After Aunt Zhuang’s introduction, Shen You now only thought of the colors: pink, blue, and green.

"All these cloths are priced the same, 1500 wen."

"If you want to make bedding, coarse cotton cloth will do. It costs two hundred coins for ten feet."

Zhou Ning roughly knew that one zhang was 3.33 meters, which was enough to make two sets of children's clothes and more than one set of adult clothes.

So he said, "The colors of fine cotton you mentioned just now are one meter each. As for the coarse cotton, I want to make two sets of bedding. Hey, do you have any cotton?"

Seeing such a large sum of money, Aunt Zhuang was even happier and said, "Yes, yes, the cotton here is all good quality cotton, 35 wen per jin. If you want to make two sets of quilts, you need 15 jin, but now the weather is getting warmer, so 12 jin will be enough."

Zhou Wan was no longer talking. She didn't ask Zhou Ning how much money she made because she thought Zhou Ning wouldn't be able to make much money. Now seeing how generous she was, she didn't know whether she should ask.

"Auntie Zhuang, please pay the bill."

Aunt Zhuang happily took the abacus and started tapping it.

"You bought three meters of fine cotton, which costs fifteen hundred coins. Three meters of coarse cotton is used to make two sets of bedding, which costs two hundred coins. Twelve catties of cotton costs thirty-five coins a catty. The total is two thousand five hundred and twenty coins. For Miss Wan's sake, I will charge you two thousand five hundred coins." Aunt Zhuang said.

Zhou Ning gave the money readily without bargaining, and the man gave Zhou Ning some torn cloth strips before leaving.

Similarly, Zhou Ning still kept the money here.

"Alas, cloth is indeed very expensive. No wonder the cloth shop's business is so slow compared to the grain shop." Zhou Ning sighed.

Zhou Wan thought: Why don't you look at what you bought? Why do people wear fine cotton?

But since it was Zhou Ning who earned the money, Zhou Wan didn't say anything.

Then, Zhou Ning bought some meat.

Liu Qingxiu actually didn't have anything to buy, she was just accompanying the children, so if there was anything she wanted to buy it was just some meat.

In fact, the Shen family did not have an easy life. The family only relied on Shen Shi’s salary, but they had to support two children to go to school.

But Liu Qingxiu felt sorry for Shen You and thought that she was weak, so she wanted to buy some food to nourish her.

Zhou Ning and his group deliberately avoided Butcher Zhao and went to buy things from the butcher who was farthest away from him.

Zhou Ning looked at the meat, but she couldn't tell whether it was pork belly or something else, so Shen You took over.

Shen You asked, "How much is this pork belly?"

Butcher: "Twenty cents a pound."

"What about the back seat?"

"eighteen."

"Where are the spareribs?"

"twelve."

"What if I just want the big bones?"

"Five pennies."

This is how people buy things in this era, so the butcher is still patient.

Shen You glanced at Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, just buy whatever you want. I have money."

Shen You smiled and said, "Then I want five pounds of pork belly, three pounds of back seat, and two pounds of large bones."

The butcher thought that these people were not dressed well, so he started to chop the meat.

Liu Qingxiu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiao Si, mother doesn't have that much money."

Butcher: I can’t chop the meat any further.

Zhou Ning said: "Aunt, I'll give you the money."

Butcher: Well, the meat is ready to be chopped again.

Liu Qingxiu said: "How can I let a junior like you give me money?"

Butcher: I can’t chop it anymore.

Zhou Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want to go to your house for a meal."

Then he said to the butcher, "You chop the meat."
