Chapter 75 Lend Me 32

Lu Tao and Liu San Niang went to buy meat.

Tian Xiang led Chu Qian, Chu Yao, Da Ya, and Tian Jinghe to the city gate in an oxcart and waited there.

Tian Tian then went to the herbal medicine shop.

She just used the system to examine that century-old ginseng.

"System detection: Wild ginseng, year: 158, top grade, total: 500,000 wen."

Five hundred thousand coins, which is five hundred taels of silver.

In Tian Tian's opinion, this price was already very high.

But... she still wanted to compare it with prices in this era.

We sell wherever prices are high.

Upon arriving at the herbal medicine shop, several shop assistants were busy weighing the herbs.

As winter approaches, many people will come to buy some medicines for colds and flu to keep at home.

One of the shop assistants looked up, saw Tian Tian, ​​paused for a moment, and called out, "Hey, isn't this the girl who came to sell honeysuckle last time?"

He came out from behind the counter. "I recognize you. Why did you suddenly leave last time?"

Tian Tian smiled slightly awkwardly, "Last time something urgent came up."

"Oh, so what are you going to sell this time?" The shop assistant didn't seem to care.

Tian Tian shook her head apologetically, "Young man, I'm not here to sell medicinal herbs. I wanted to ask what the price of a century-old ginseng is?"

The waiter looked her up and down. "Young lady, is someone in your family sick? Do you need a century-old ginseng?"

Tian Tian neither confirmed nor denied it.

The shopkeeper continued, "A century-old ginseng isn't cheap."

“They are rare in our Baishi County, and even if they were, ordinary families couldn’t afford them.”

Tian Tian pressed further, "How much silver?"

The waiter scratched his head. "That's hard to say."

"The price of each ginseng root varies depending on its quality."

"We don't have any century-old ginseng in our shop right now."

"Young lady, why don't you try the ones that are over ten years old? They're cheaper."

Just then, an uncle selling medicinal herbs walked over and said, "I remember last year someone in our village dug up a century-old ginseng."

"It was sold for two hundred taels at Anhe Pharmacy."

"Later I heard that the three hundred taels were bought by a merchant from out of town."

Tian Tian politely thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle."

"I don't have enough money, so... let's talk about it later."

As Tian Tian walked out of Anhe Pharmacy, she made some plans in her mind.

Anhe Pharmacy's purchase price is only two hundred taels, which is much cheaper than the system price, so it's not worth it!

Or sell it to the system.

Tian Tian was lost in thought, and Qian Fulai called after her for a while, but she didn't hear him.

"Tian Er!" Qian Fulai had no choice but to hurry after him and shout loudly.

Tian Tian shuddered in fright and was furious. "Qian Fulai, what are you doing?!"

Qian Fulai exaggeratedly patted his chest, "I should be asking you that, why are you so absent-minded?"

Pointing in the direction he came from, she said, "I called you all the way here, but you couldn't hear me."

Tian Tian: "I'm thinking about something."

"Did you call me for something?"

Qian Fulai rubbed his hands together. "Didn't you send your underling to ask about Chu Wang last time?"

"There's new information today."

"Chu Wang is going to be exiled to Xizhou Prefecture."

"I heard that Madam Chu was so heartbroken that she suffered a stroke."

Tian Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. Heartbroken to the point of having a stroke? That doesn't seem so. According to Xiao Si, it was because Master Chu and Madam Chu had a fight, and Madam Chu suffered a stroke in a fit of anger.

Because of Tian Tian, ​​Qian Fulai later made a special trip to inquire about Tian Xiang.

"They deserve what they did to your older sister!"

Tian Tian and Qian Fulai had the same idea!

Just because Madam Chu has suffered a stroke and feels remorse doesn't mean that the harm she caused Tian Xiang in the past is no longer a thing.

Tian Xiang and Lu Tao forgave her because they are kind and generous!

"Do you know when Chu Wang will leave?"

"In about five days, yamen runners will escort him to Xizhou and hand him over to the Xizhou government."

"Can his parents go?"

"cannot!"

"Does he still have a chance to come back?"

"That depends on him. Many people...cannot come back, or...will not come back."

At this point, Tian Tian also told Qian Fulai about her purchase of Chuxing Restaurant.

"What?!" Qian Fulai was utterly shocked!

"You bought Chuxing Restaurant?!"

His first thought was...

"You want to open a restaurant?!"

"Didn't you say you weren't going to open a restaurant?"

key...

"You also said you wanted to expand my Fulai Restaurant..."

"You lied to me..." A puppy-like, aggrieved expression...

Tian Tian glanced at the curious looks coming from all around her, and helplessly pulled Qian Fulai to the side of the road.

"What are you yelling about?"

Others might think she lied to him about something...

"I did buy Chuxing Restaurant, but I never said I would run a restaurant there."

Qian Fulai thought about it... and that made sense.

"Then why did you buy such a big shop? If not to open a restaurant, what would you do with it?"

Tian Tian said helplessly, "I could open a big steamed bun shop, a teahouse, or a noodle shop..."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a restaurant!"

Qian Fulai touched his nose. "I see..."

Realizing he had misunderstood Tian Er, Qian Fulai immediately changed his attitude, "Hehe, well... Tian Er, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Just say it!"

"I would absolutely go through fire and water for you!"

Tian Tian was waiting for him to say this: "Really?"

"Promise to everything?"

Qian Fulai nodded repeatedly, "I, Qian Fulai, am also a man, a real man."

“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to follow it!”

Tian Tian simply held up three fingers.

"what?"

"Lend me three hundred taels."

When Qian Fulai heard that it was a loan, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's easy."

He pulled out three silver notes from his pocket. "Here you go."

Tian Tian took it and didn't mention writing an IOU anymore. "Thanks."

Mr. and Mrs. Chu treated their two children well, and the two little ones were raised to be chubby and healthy.

However, due to Chu Wang's ill intentions, Chu Qian was left with several scars that could not be removed in a short time.

Chu Yao was weaned early because she was separated from her mother at a young age.

According to Chu Qian, Chu Yao used to drink lamb's milk, but now she eats rice porridge.

Lu Tao also wanted to cook rice porridge for Chu Yao.

Tian Tian suggested cooking soft, mushy noodles instead.

Because what they're having for dinner tonight is...dumplings, and there's ready-made dough.

Lu Tao and Liu San Niang rolled out dough, while Tian Tian, ​​along with several children, carved the rolled-out dough into various shapes.

Flowers, stars, moon, hearts, puppies...

Several people had flour all over their faces, making them look like pink monkeys.

But no one blamed them; instead, they all looked at them with smiles.

Tian Jinghe and Chu Qian stood on either side of Tian Tian, ​​one calling her "sister" and the other "auntie," making it quite lively.

Tian Tian enjoyed this feeling.

only...

Tian Jinghe and Chu Qian did not enjoy it.

They looked at each other with wariness and resentment.

"Sister, is my carving good?"

"Auntie, I can carve it better."

"Sister, I carve better than Chu Qian."
