Chapter 148
The soup was fresh noodles and shredded pork were also very fragrant. Mingruo smiled and said to Si Haochen, "It's quite delicious."
"You make it better." Si Haochen responded.
"..." Mingruo knew his cooking skills, but Si Haochen gave this praise against his conscience. Will his conscience hurt?
After the two of them finished the noodles, Mingruo found the medicine shop where Polygonum multiflorum last time sold according to his memory.
The guy obviously remembers Mingruo and asked with a smile: "Does the girl sell medicinal materials?"
"Yes." Mingruo nodded, "Do you take Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Ah! Ganoderma lucidum..." The guy ran to the back hall and said, "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go find the shopkeeper."
After some bargaining, Ganoderma lucidum was sold for 130 taels.
"What kind of medicinal herbs will be picked in the future? Even if I send them here, I will definitely give you the best price." The shopkeeper did not forget to show off his favor.
"Okay." Ming Ruo responded, but in his heart he felt that having this money was enough to leave here.
"Where will go next?" Si Haochen asked.
"Well... what should I prepare for New Year's goods?" Ming Ruo thought for a long time and didn't know what to buy. In the past, she didn't have to do these things at home. Later, she was studying abroad and working, so she didn't prepare anything. At most, she went to the supermarket to buy some snacks and dried fruits.
"..." This question also stopped Si Haochen. These trivial matters were something he had never cared about before. But... it would be better to see what others bought, and they would buy anything. Si Haochen pointed to a stall surrounded by many people and said, "Go there to take a look."
Before I walked over, I heard the guy shouting: "Sesame candy, peanut candy, osmanthus candy, wax candy... I have to eat candy during the Chinese New Year, and have a sweet and beautiful year..."
"This one can be found." Mingruo looked at the candy cubes of various flavors and picked a few for the guy to put them in.
Si Haochen took the candy bag and threw it directly into the backpack.
"Meow~" Xiaobai, who was dozing, was startled and stared at the man with a playful and bad-hearted look on his face.
"Uh..." Ming Ruo said angrily, "Why do you always bully Xiaobai?"
"I didn't." Si Haochen had already recovered to the ice-faced prince, without seeing the jokes he had just now.
Under Si Haochen's guidance, they bought again - red lanterns, peach talismans, window flowers, pastries, dried fresh fruits...
"It should be almost the same..." There were already more people on the street, and Si Haochen didn't see the pedestrians with big bags and small bags buying other things.
"Oh." Ming Ruo was tired of shopping and looked up and saw a ready-to-wear shop. He grabbed Si Haochen's sleeve, "I forgot to buy new clothes."
“Then buy it.”
This shop should be newly opened, and the shop also has a slight smell of paint and wood.
"What do the girl want to choose? Our goods are all from the capital, and the materials are so varied..." Seeing that there were customers, the guy hurried up to greet him.
"Let's take a look." Mingruo found that the clothes in this shop looked more upscale than the last time. However, they were still far from the level of clothes that Prince Yun usually wore.
Mingruo pointed to a silver-gray brocade robe and said, "Take this one to me."
The guy took the robe over and Mingruo compared it to Si Haochen: "Do you like it?"
"Just decide." Si Haochen answered without comment.
Mingruo probably had no clothes in the store that he could like, with Si Haochen's eyes. Mingruo directly made a decision to take it down and chose a hairband with the same color and silver-embroidered hairband.
The guy happily wrapped his clothes and accessories, and Mingruo was about to leave after paying.
"Don't you buy it?" Si Haochen frowned and asked.
"I don't need it anymore... I bought a new one before and didn't wear it."
"So, I don't have to buy it." Si Haochen found it funny. He was very concerned about buying things for him, but he could make do with himself. Suddenly he felt like he was having a soft meal, which was not good.
Si Haochen pointed to a light purple jacket and skirt and said to the guy, "This set is also wrapped."
"Please wait, please." The guy was busy packing his clothes.
Mingruo approached Si Haochen and asked thiefly: "Have you brought the money? Just buy clothes..."
"..." Si Haochen really didn't consider this question, "You lend me first and return home to you."
Mingruo patted his money bag: "I'm a loan shark, are you sure you want to borrow it?"
"Confirm." Si Haochen nodded calmly.
"This profit is a big profit, and it will be a lot of money at that time." Mingruo felt like he was "Ming Shiren" who cheated on "Si Bailao".
"I'll write a note now and I'll give you the royal palace?" Si Haochen's tone was serious, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"It's only a few taels of silver, it's just a house. You're too expensive..." This 'Si Bailao' is rich and powerful, and he can't afford to offend him.
Mingruo said he wanted to buy some more rice and flour. When he passed by the market, someone was selling fresh mutton. Mingruo's eyes lit up, his hands were not fully seasoned, so he couldn't eat spicy hot pot, but he could use mutton. Mingruo bought two pounds of mutton and then bought grain, so he couldn't get the food.
He hired a carriage in the town, and the two of them took the purchased New Year's goods back. The carriage could not enter the valley. The last section of the road was Xiaobai carrying food, Si Haochen carrying a basket, and Mingruo carrying clothes.
Ming Ruo asked with some concern: "Is it heavy? Will the knife hurt?"
"Nothing happened." Si Haochen didn't take this injury to heart at all.
Xiaobai rolled his eyes. What's the heavy weight of his basket? It's not as good as a fraction of the tiger's body.
Mingruo sorted out the things he bought and started preparing lunch.
Si Haochen looked aside: "Do you want me to help?"
"You must." Mingruo gave Si Haochen the mutton, "Slice the meat into slices, the thinner the better."
Si Haochen rolled up his sleeves, looked at the mutton for a while, and then cut it up.
"Stop and stop." Mingruo pinched a piece of meat cut by Si Haochen with his fingers, which was actually translucent. It seemed that he underestimated His Highness Prince Yun's knife skills.
"What?" Si Haochen looked at Ming Ruo in confusion.
"No need to be so thin..." Ming Ruo folded three slices of cut meat, "That's the thickness."
"Yes." Si Haochen continued to cut meat, and the speed was quite amazing.
Mingruo washed the dishes and started to prepare dipping sauce.
After Si Haochen cut the meat slices, he also found a position on helping the kitchen: "Is there anything else to cut?"
"The radish is also sliced thinly." Mingruo put the washed radish on the chopping board.
"good."
Mingruo discovered that Si Haochen was simply a slicing machine that could cut anything quickly and well.
"When the money is used up, you can go to the restaurant to cut vegetables and make money." Mingruo joked.
"If you go to be a cook, I will go."
"I'm a doctor..."
"Then I'll help you cut the medicine." Si Haochen's lips bent.
