Chapter 128: Returning Home
Of course, these can't be rushed, they must be done step by step. Although she has the recipe for thirteen spices in her hand, because of the lack of spices, she still needs to actually operate and change the ratio of the recipe. She urgently needs to make the meat sauce that Shen Zhixin needs to bring into the examination room now, and these seasonings are enough!
After a cup of tea, the medicine boy had already wrapped all the medicinal materials, Shen Zhilei put Shen Mengxi down, untied the purse from his waist, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the medicine boy. The medicine boy took the silver with a smile and put it away, and bent down to thank Shen Zhilei.
Shen Zhilei held the medicine bag in both hands, tilted his chin and said to the four children: "Let's go, it's not early, we have to leave quickly, and we have to go to your third uncle to get something!" ”
The master went back to the Wu family first, called the Wu family, said goodbye to the Wu family, and then went to Shen Sanlang's grocery store with large bags of things. In addition to the gifts prepared by Mrs. Zheng for several children and the Wu family, Wu's sister-in-law brought a lot of pastries made in her shop and a large piece of ham, but Shen Zhilei and Wu had no choice but to accept it.
The group did not stop any longer, and soon returned to Shen Sanlang's grocery store. At this time, Shen Saburo had already prepared all the things they needed, waiting for them to come back and get them.
"Third uncle, how much do these things cost in total?" Wu asked.
"Second cousin-in-law, what do you mean? What kind of money does your family mention if you don't have money, you see a lot of outside! Shen Saburo frowned.
"Third uncle, don't get me wrong, you also bought this thing from outsiders, there is always a cost, the third uncle is not good at making his brother's money, and we can't let the third uncle lose your money!" You say, don't you? ”
Shen Sanlang wanted to say anything more, but was interrupted by Shen Zhilei, he took a piece of silver from Wu's hand and stuffed it into Shen Sanlang's hand, pretending to be impatient and said: "My brother still has to settle accounts!" ”
"This ......" Shen Sanlang looked at the silver in his hand at a loss, feeling very hot.
"Alright, put it away! Help me load all this stuff into the bullock cart and we're on our way home!" Shen Zhilei didn't say a word, and took the lead in going out with two burdens.
Shen Sanlang looked at Wu in embarrassment, and Wu smiled and said: "Take it, these are what we bought ourselves, and we won't be polite to you if you want to send home in the future!" ”
Shen Sanlang was also very cool, and after thinking about it, he generously put away the silver and helped load everything into the ox cart outside the door one by one.
"Uncle Santang, let's go! Good bye! Shen Mengzhu took his younger brothers and sisters to salute Shen Sanlang and say goodbye, and then was hugged by Shen Zhilei and Wu respectively into the ox cart.
Shen Zhilei drove an ox cart away from Kezhuxian Town, and on today's trip, they returned with a full load. In addition to spending three taels of silver on fabrics, another one tael was spent on pork and medicinal herbs, and nearly one tael of silver was also bought from Shen Sanlang, and at the end of the day, it cost nearly five taels of silver just to buy things. So much money is enough for their family to spend for a few months on weekdays. This is not counting the book that Shen Mengxi bought with money and the wooden hairpin that Shen Zhilei bought for the Wu family, if this is added, it will cost more than five taels.
Wu calculated this account in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more distressed he became, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle more and more.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Shen Mengxi sat in Wu's arms, she looked up and saw that Wu's expression was wrong, so she asked.
"Nothing!" Wu smiled at Shen Mengxi, "I just calculated today's expenses, but I spent a lot of money!" ”
