Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Shen Li stepped out of the crowd and thought about the three prescriptions in her arms. After some thought, she decided not to get them from one pharmacy, but went to three different pharmacies to get them.

A prescription contains 10 packets, a total of 10 taels of silver, one tael of silver per packet.

Shen Li had looked at the prescription. There were some medicinal ingredients in it whose properties she was not familiar with.

During the time she has been here, she has also been learning from her fourth brother and now knows hundreds of words.

Three prescriptions, 30 packets of medicine, a total of 30 taels of silver.

If he wants more in the future, how much of the 200 taels of silver he gave will be left?

Forget it. Anyway, he promised to pay me. If he doesn’t give it to me, huh!

Just consider it as if you saved him in vain!

However, he was rescued with injuries, so I will restore the scene and throw him back to his original place.

I just don’t know, if it happens again next time, will there be anyone to rescue Meicanqiang? Will we be able to wait until someone finds us?

Shen Li got the last prescription from Huichuntang. After paying the money, Shen Li lifted the cloth covering the basket and showed the contents to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw the basket as white as jade, and then he invited Shen Li to the backyard.

"Miss, can you let me take a closer look?"

Shen Li put the basket on the table and said, "Please go ahead."

The shopkeeper took out the Tai Sui. There was black soil on the white Tai Sui, and the soil was still a little moist, apparently it had just been unearthed not long ago.

The shopkeeper became more and more excited the more he looked at it. The boss was just looking for something to offer as a sacrifice, and didn't this Tai Sui seem very suitable?

"Girl, do you have a price in mind?"

Shen Li raised her eyebrows, "Boss, this is not the first time we have cooperated. You name a price, and if I can accept it, then we will make the deal. If I cannot accept it, I will find another buyer."

The Tai Sui that Shen Li brought was not very big, only about 15 kilograms, but it looked good, and it was very rare and precious to be so big.

The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling very conflicted. It took him a long time to make up his mind.

"When I was young, I also received a bigger one than this one. I spent one thousand taels of silver at that time, but it has been so many years."

"How about this, you old man offer 1800 taels?"

Shen Li tapped the table with her fingers. Is this thing so valuable?

The shopkeeper thought she disagreed, "Miss, I won't lie to you. In this small town, this Tai Sui is only worth this much. If you take it to the capital, the price can be doubled."

"Okay, let's go with the price the shopkeeper said."

The smile on the fat shopkeeper's face became more genuine.

"Well, can you please prepare some typhoid fever medicine and wound medicine for me, which are the medicines I need for escorting all year round?"

The fat shopkeeper readily agreed, "Then wait for me here for a while, girl. I will go and prepare the medicine and silver."

"Okay, I'll trouble you to prepare 200 taels of silver for me, and I'll need banknotes for the rest."

"Okay, wait a moment, girl."

A quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper came over carrying two bundles and placed them in front of Shen Li.

"Girl, this is the banknote prepared for you, please count it."

Shen Li opened the bundle and saw that there were 10 ingots of silver worth 20 taels each, and the rest were silver notes with a face value of 100 or 50 taels.

A smile appeared on his face, more genuine than before, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

"This medicine..."

"Consider this medicine as a gift from me to you, young lady, to establish a good relationship with you."

Shen Li picked up the bundle, and the shopkeeper took Tai Sui away.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. My last name is Shen."

The fat shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, "Then next time Miss Shen has any more herbs, please bring them to our Huichuntang to sell."

"it is good."

When Shen Li walked out of Huichuntang, she had a smile on her face. The shopkeeper saw that she was carrying too many medicines and gave her a backpack.

Now that she had money, Shen Li decided to go out for a nice meal. She first packed 30 meat buns and 30 steamed buns on the street, and I bought 20 packs of pastries and 30 sesame cakes.

I walked around the alley twice with the basket on my back, and when I came out, there was only medicine in it.

Shen Li walked into a restaurant, which happened to be the restaurant where his third brother worked as a waiter.

"Girls, how many of you are there?"

"I want a quiet spot."

"Okay, please come this way."

The waiter did not look down on Shen Li because of the clothes she was wearing and the backpack, and took her to a very close corner inside.

"Waiter, what dishes do you have?"

The waiter took a look at the girl. Although the material of her clothes was different, the girl had her own temperament. There was no expression on her face after she entered the restaurant.

"Girl, if you are alone, then just order our signature dish, Eight Treasure Duck, and a serving of Jinling Meatballs with White Sauce Round Vegetables."

"Well, another portion of braised lion's head and Dongpo pork."

When Shen Li came in just now, she took a look at the sign outside and saw these dishes were at the very front.

"Ok."

There were not many people eating in the restaurant at the moment. Shen Li waited for a quarter of an hour, and her meal was almost served, except for the last serving of Dongpo pork.

The waiter put the meat on the table and was about to turn around and leave when he saw the girl in front of him looking at him with a smile.

"Little sister, why are you here?"

Shen Yuanzhou glanced at his smiling little sister, and then looked at the food on the table.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat. Didn’t he know the situation at home?

The amount of food my little sister ordered is not enough to cover two months’ salary!

No, if the shopkeeper blames me later, I have to stop him.

If it really doesn't work, just use your own salary to offset it and don't go home for the time being.

Shen Li looked at her third brother's face, which turned pale and blue. The expression on his face made it possible to guess what he was thinking at a glance.

The corners of his lips curved up and he looked at his third brother with a smile.

"Third brother, when will you come home?"

Shen Yuanzhou's face was extremely ugly, "Little sister, the shopkeeper said that I can go home in three days."

Shen Li supported her chin with one hand, "Third brother, why do you look so bad?"

Shen Yuanzhou: ...

He took a look at the four delicious dishes on the table and said with difficulty, "Little sister, will Third Brother treat you?"

Shen Li couldn't hide her smile any longer and burst out laughing.

"Third brother, you are so cute!"

A shy look suddenly appeared on Shen Yuanzhou's face, and Shen Li smiled even more happily when she saw it.

His third brother's skin was not very white, just like the sunny boys in later generations. Especially when he smiled, he had a shallow dimple on the side of his cheek and a big tooth showing, which made him even more adorable.

Shen Yuanzhou looked at the food on the table, his face fell again, "Little sister, did you bring any money?"

Shen Li nodded, "I brought it. Why would I come here without it?"

Shen Yuanzhou breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to work to pay off his debts.

"Third brother, go ask for leave and we can eat together."

"That's not good. Your wages will be deducted."

Shen Li took out a small ingot of silver and placed it on the table. "It's okay. We don't need that little bit of silver."

When Shen Yuanzhou heard what his younger sister said, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll go right away, little sister, wait for me."

Shen Yuanzhou ran happily to find the shopkeeper. He felt that his little sister was becoming more and more likable.

It’s not that she was bad before, but she was too quiet before. She is cuter now.

"The shopkeeper's, the shopkeeper's!"

Shopkeeper Hu looked fierce and said, "What are you doing? Go to work!"

Shen Yuanzhou rubbed his hands together and bared his teeth, "Boss, please give me half an hour off today!"

Shopkeeper Hu was working on an abacus. He glanced at him and said, "I don't want the wages!"

Shen Yuanzhou shook his head, "Yes!"

"Then why do you ask for leave?"

Shen Yuanzhou pointed at the table where Shen Li was sitting, "My little sister came over to eat, and she asked me to eat with her."

Shopkeeper Hu paused while he was using the abacus and looked in the direction Shen Yuanzhou pointed.

There was a girl sitting there with a few dishes in front of her. She looked at Shen Yuanzhou strangely. Doesn't this boy's family conditions are poor?

Why does my little sister come here to eat?

"Go ahead, I won't deduct your wages."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Shen Yuanzhou hurried over to find Shen Li, "Little sister~"
