The warehouse in Taoyuan Valley was built first, and Su Niyue planned to start stocking up on food for the winter. She asked Jingzhe to invite a dozen carpenters to transport the ox carts, donkey carts and several carriages they bought on the way to exile. , were converted into carriages for hauling goods.
After Su Niyue punished bullies on the street last time, the few people who usually ran rampant on the street kept a low profile. The owners of the surrounding shops had already been deeply impressed by her.
As soon as they arrived in front of the grain store, the shopkeeper came out with a smile on his face. This was a world for the strong, and they didn't want to be beaten. The scene of the big man lying on the ground and wailing was still fresh in his memory.
"Madam, do you want to buy some food?"
"Well, how do you sell rice?"
"One tael of silver and one stone. If Madam wants it, I can give you a discount!"
Before they came, Jingzhe had already understood the market situation, and it was probably about this price. The cheaper rice was not that good, and there was also sand.
"Let me take a look at the rice first."
The shopkeeper brought Su Niyue into the inner warehouse. Su Niyue grabbed a handful and looked at it. The rice she stocked in modern times was not as good as the rice grown in the space, but in order to hide her eyes from others, she still had to buy it. Some.
"Cheaper, I want ten thousand shi!"
"Uh...!" The shopkeeper's palms were sweating. He only sells 10,000 shi a year. This is definitely a big deal.
"How not?"
"Yes!" The shopkeeper was a little stunned by the sudden surprise, but after all, he has worked here for more than ten years, so he still has this experience. If he doesn't have enough, he can go to his colleagues to get it!
"Nine hundred words and one stone, how about it?"
"Eight hundred words!" Su Niyue thought to herself. If it doesn't work, give him more.
Nangong Yunteng nodded. He knew the price of food in the Dayun Kingdom. In order to support the army, he also had a lot of property. When Su Niyue saw Nangong Yunteng nodding, she knew it.
"This..." The shopkeeper still wanted to struggle.
Su Niyue also wanted to give him some time to think about it, so she turned around and walked out. The shopkeeper thought that Su Niyue was leaving and stamped his foot: "Okay, it's only 800 yuan. Madam, please take care of me in the future!"
"Easy to say!" Su Niyue blinked at Nangong Yunteng.
"Then leave your address and we will deliver the goods to you in the afternoon."
Su Niyue paid the deposit, left her address, and left.
The two of them walked out of the door and turned into the oil shop next door. The boss was a strong man with well-developed muscles in his arms. He looked like a man who often exerted force. As soon as Su Niyue walked into the oil shop, she smelled of rapeseed oil. The child came to her face and gave her a bit of a massage: "Boss, do you squeeze the oil yourself?"
"Yeah. A craft passed down from our ancestors!"
"I want a thousand kilograms, how long will it take to squeeze it?"
"Five days, the oil shop can produce two hundred kilograms a day, which is the limit!" The boss didn't say that he would have to work overtime to squeeze out these two hundred kilograms.
"Okay, I want a thousand catties!" Su Niyue wondered if her carriage was in vain.
After paying the deposit, we are going to the market. These carriages cannot go back empty today.
As soon as she arrived at the market gate, she saw a child, about three or four years old, picking vegetable leaves. Su Niyue thought this child looked familiar, and when she got closer, she saw that he was the one who suffered from heatstroke on the exile road.
"Child, why are you here? Where are your mother and father?"
The child looked at Su Niyue with a confused look on his face. He knew Su Niyue, and when he saw Su Niyue asking about his mother, he turned back and pointed, saying in a sweet voice: "Mother, then!
Su Niyue looked in the direction of the child's finger and saw a woman squatting on the ground, rummaging through a pile of rotten vegetable leaves.
Nangong Yunteng pulled Su Niyue's sleeve and whispered: "Help them! Her father-in-law is Li Enshan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was also implicated by the Nangong family and was sentenced to exile. But Uncle Li was in prison. He died, and his wife also died in a collision, leaving only his son, daughter-in-law and this little grandson. His son Li Pingzhi didn't like the intrigues in the officialdom and was willing to just be a teacher and educate people."
When Su Niyue heard Nangong Yunteng calling the child's grandfather, Uncle Li, she knew that their relationship must be unusual, and immediately responded: "Okay!" He had already walked towards the lady.
"Sister-in-law!" Su Niyue squatted next to the lady.
The woman didn't know that her sister-in-law was calling her, so she ignored her. When she saw someone squatting in front of her, she raised her head and glanced up. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, her eyes became red: "You...!"
"Sister-in-law, you...how...where is your husband-in-law?"
"My husband fell ill as soon as he arrived here. We gave him medicine even with the little money we brought, but he didn't get better even after taking the medicine!" Mrs. Lin grabbed Su Niyue's hand, tears falling down her face. Knowing that Su Niyue had medical skills, she also knew that Su Niyue could save her husband.
"Come on, take us to see him!"
"Okay!" Mrs. Lin then saw Nangong Yunteng, nodded quickly, and picked up the vegetable leaves arranged on the ground!"
Su Niyue just looked at her. She wanted to help Lin, but she couldn't make her feel that she was giving alms to them.
"Yuan'er!" The child was already standing behind her, holding her legs, only half of his face was exposed, and he looked at Su Niyue secretly. He remembered that his mother had told him that this aunt had saved his life. .
Mrs. Lin picked up the child and waited for Su Niyue to push Nangong Yunteng. Nangong Yunteng did not let Jingzhe and the others follow, and only asked them to wait here in the market.
They crossed two streets and arrived at a small alley. The houses in the entire alley were all short and small.
Su Niyue pushed Nangong Yunteng and watched as they walked. Lin was worried that Su Niyue and the others would find it too far, so she kept saying: "We're almost there."
Su Niyue just smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, don't be in a hurry!"
Until they reached a courtyard at the end of the alley, Lin opened the door and let Su Niyue and the others go in first. Su Niyue couldn't help but frowned as soon as she entered the courtyard. The courtyard was very small, with only two rooms, and there was a woman in the courtyard. washing clothes.
Mrs. Lin let Su Niyue and Su Niyue into the room. There was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the room. The scholar was lying on a wooden bed. There was only a stove for boiling medicine and a broken clay pot. There was not even a table or a window. The paper had several holes in it, and there were two chipped bowls and two pairs of chopsticks of an invisible color on the window sill.
Scholar Li Pingzhi was lying on the bed with a pale face. When he heard someone coming in, he opened his eyes and looked towards them. When he saw it was Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng, he was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he struggled to get up.
Nangong Yunteng said hurriedly: "Brother Ping, lie down quickly!" He looked at the environment in front of him, feeling full of guilt.
"Your Majesty, why are you..." His eyes turned red before he finished speaking.
"We met Mrs. Sister-in-law at the market and heard that you were sick. Let's come over and take a look!"
Li Pingzhi then remembered that Su Niyue knew medical skills and nodded: "The prince is worried!"
"I am no longer a prince, just call me by name!" Nangong Yunteng controlled the wheelchair to move forward, and when he got to the bed, he looked at Li Pingzhi: "Brother Pingzhi, let your brother and sister check your pulse!"
Li Pingzhi was a little embarrassed, but if the disease gets worse, his wife and children will starve to death. After thinking about it, he nodded: "Then I will help my brothers and sisters!"
Su Niyue said nothing, walked to the bed and began to diagnose Li Pingzhi's pulse.
After a while, Su Niyue took back her hand and said: "His illness is a bit difficult to deal with. He is very anxious and has a cold. He did not receive timely treatment. He also traveled a long distance and lost his health. He needs to be recuperated!"
"Brother Ping, you also know that we saved those fifty children on the way. I was just thinking of asking my husband to teach them. How about this? You and your family come back with us and get well. How about you come and be their teacher?" ?"
