The morning rush hour of the market has passed, and the four of them can take a breather and rest.
"Lu Ping, we are not busy now. You look at the stall while I buy some grains and seasonings."
Jiang Ning asked the boss to carry a basket on his back and walk to a deserted corner. He took out the herbs he had saved from the game warehouse and put them into the basket.
I have been busy making food in the past few days. I have accumulated a lot of honeysuckle and mugwort in the medicine field in the game. I sold some of them in the game and upgraded the equipment.
Jiang Ning came to Baikangtang, where the medicinal herbs were sold last time, and happened to see the shopkeeper settling accounts at the counter.
"Shop Manager Shen, you still remember me."
When Xun Sheng raised his head, he felt that the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar. It was only after Jiang Ning took out the honeysuckle and mugwort from the basket that he finally remembered.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I hope you'll bear with me. I've been greeting medicinal herbs all day long. I don't look at people's faces, only the medicine."
Jiang Ning pointed to the basket on the ground.
"My husband saw that he sold a lot of money last time, so he went to the mountain to pick a basketful of it. Shopkeeper Shen wanted to see if he could get all of it."
"I have to check the quality this time, please wait a moment."
Shopkeeper Shen ordered people to move the basket into the backyard and was about to pour the medicinal materials on the ground.
"Please wait, I put a piece of white cloth inside as a dividing line, with honeysuckle underneath and mugwort above."
Shopkeeper Shen nodded silently.
"Madam, please stop pouring it. Take out the herbs on top and put them away first."
The servant divided the herbs in the basket into two piles. Seeing that the basket was only so big, he also put two kinds of herbs in it, and ended up with two big piles.
Jiang Ning pretended to smile shyly: "In order to decorate more, I pressed the herbs again and again. If there is any that does not meet the requirements, the shopkeeper can just take it out."
Shopkeeper Shen called the pharmacist in the store to check the herbs.
The pharmacist squatted on the ground and looked around, then stood up and whispered a few words in front of Shopkeeper Shen.
Jiang Ning saw the smile on Shopkeeper Shen's face and knew better.
"Madam, this batch of herbs is good, and there is nothing that does not meet the requirements. The price is still the same as last time. This time the quantity is more, about three or two yuan."
Jiang Ning immediately calculated in her mind that the price was reasonable.
After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Shen, it was almost noon. Jiang Ning took her three children to eat wontons. After lunch, she continued to sell food along the street.
After Yu Zhiheng ate rice cake yesterday, he directly put rice cake at the top of his food rankings.
He was looking forward to eating it again in the afternoon. He sat in front of the stall and kept looking south. He must buy more and stock up.
"Brown sugar glutinous rice cake, sweet but not greasy, caramelized and soft."
Yu Zhiheng heard a familiar voice and stood in front of the stall waving to the four people.
"Here, here, I want glutinous rice cake."
"Hello, Mr. Yu. Seeing how you look like this, the food you want to cook at my house is very to your liking."
"It tastes good, just like what you just shouted, sweet but not greasy, caramel and soft."
Yu Zhiheng pointed to the door with a smile.
"I don't like this sweet, mainly because my wife likes it, and she specially told me today to buy more."
"Mr. Yu, how many do you want?" Lu Yuan asked.
Yu Zhiheng looked at the remaining glutinous rice cakes in the basket, there were about thirty of them.
"That's all we have left. Then I'll cover it all. Everyone in the family likes to eat it, no more, no more."
Yu Zhiheng's stall was set up at the door of his house, and Lu Ping took the basket directly to his house.
"Mr. Yu, can you help me write a letter? The money for writing the letter will be calculated from this glutinous rice cake."
"Excuse me, ma'am, who should I write to?"
When a job came to his door, Yu Zhiheng had to give up the idea of eating glutinous rice cake first.
"Write a letter to my husband. He is working out with the villagers. I want to ask him when he will be back. No need for an envelope."
Yu Zhiheng polished and lifted the pen.
I haven’t seen you since I said goodbye. I don’t know what to do. I miss you so much and when I will return.
Jiang Ning used to set up a stall selling rice balls in front of the school. While talking with some students, she learned about Yu Zhiheng and immediately thought of her three sons. This is how she started hawking on the street and writing letters.
"Good calligraphy!" Jiang Ning praised.
"Can Madam read?"
"I don't know how to read. I only saw that the handwriting written by Mr. looks good."
This made Yu Zhiheng laugh.
"It's just a few words, so I won't charge you any money for your letter, Madam."
Yu Zhiheng handed the rice cake money and the letter to Jiang Ning.
"Then thank you very much, sir. I'll bring it to you after I make some new food tomorrow."
Yu Zhiheng was very happy after hearing this.
"Madam, may I ask where they sell food? If you're not free, I can go there by myself tomorrow."
"The market at the city gate is unregulated. If you go there, sir, you need to look for it carefully."
Yu Zhiheng knew the place quite well. It specialized in doing business for various vendors. The location was not fixed, and whoever occupied it first would be the one to take it.
He looked at Jiang Ning and his eyes lit up.
"Madam's craftsmanship must be a good business in that market. Do you want to rent a shop?"
Jiang Ning thought about it when she first arrived in the county. Unfortunately, the rent of the shop was not something she could afford now. As expected, housing prices were expensive no matter where they were.
"How can I afford to rent a shop in a small business like mine? My husband asked me this. But there is a shop that I want to rent out?"
"It's not me, it's a good friend of mine. The man is inconvenient and wants to rent half of the shop. The price is cheaper than others. Madam, do you have any ideas?"
After saying this, Jiang Ning became interested. He couldn't afford to rent the whole room, but he could still consider half of it.
"Where is this shop located? If it's convenient, I'd like to go and have a look now."
