Chapter 146: Going into the City to Purchase
Shen Li was assigned a room. Originally, Shen Changshan only planned to have four guest rooms, but when he thought of his own daughter, he asked for one more room.
The remaining Lu Nian lived alone in a room. Lu Jing was worried, so he moved to his sister's place and slept on the floor.
When I opened the door, I saw only simple furnishings in the room. It cost 100 wen per night, which was a reasonable price for the furnishings.
I put the bag I was carrying on the table and went out to ask the waiter to get me some hot water for a bath. After washing up, I still had a lot of things to do, and it would be best if I could finish them before dark so that I could leave the city tomorrow.
Every room had to ask for hot water, which cost ten cents a bucket. It might be a little expensive, but they came from a drought-stricken area, so as long as they had water, they didn't think it was expensive.
The inn soon became busy, with seven or eight waiters working hard to fetch water. By the time everyone finished washing up, half an hour had passed.
Shen Changshan called the heads of several families to arrange things first. Their team still had food, but they lacked medicine and salt.
Also, their family prepared two sets of cotton-padded clothes, but I don’t know how many other families prepared. The weather is getting colder, and they must not catch a cold while traveling, so they need to buy some cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
He was holding the money from selling the two cows and was planning to distribute it to everyone later.
"Here we are. Let's work hard in the afternoon to buy the things, rest well at night, and leave the city tomorrow."
They all changed into clean clothes, and except for their darker skin, they looked no different from ordinary residents in the city.
"Changshan, you called us here for something, so just tell us straight away."
"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. Go buy the things your families need as soon as possible. We are unfamiliar with this city, so it's best for us to travel together."
"Also, everyone should prepare at least one cotton-padded jacket, and it would be best if you also buy some quilts."
“Why buy these?”
Shen Erhe was shocked. These were not present when they separated, but since Brother Changshan said so, there must be a reason.
Shen Changshan motioned for them to sit down, then slowly spoke: "It is already November now. Have you ever thought about what it was like at this time in previous years?"
November? It’s winter already, so we need to wrap ourselves in cotton-padded jackets.
Shen Zhenyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Changshan with cloudy eyes: "Changshan, do you mean that winter is coming?"
The other people also looked at him. If the temperature dropped and there were no cotton-padded jackets, they couldn't imagine how many people would die in their sleep.
Although they often complain about the hot weather, hot weather is always better than cold weather.
Under their gaze, Shen Changshan nodded slowly: "It is possible that the temperature will drop, so we should prepare in advance."
Everyone in the room nodded. They really needed to be prepared. They had finally made it into the city, and they didn't know when they would be able to go in again. Also, they really couldn't bear to pay the high entrance fee.
Seeing that they all accepted it, Shen Changshan talked about shopping again, "Everyone tell us what you want to buy. After we have made a unified plan, we will go shopping separately. This way it will be faster."
"Row."
Along the way, we have relied on Shen Changshan's family and the Lin family, so it’s right to listen to them.
"Then let's not divide the money for now. We'll divide it up based on how much is left after the purchase."
After saying this, he divided the silver in his hand into several portions and gave them to other people. After each family wrote down what they wanted to buy, he rode out with his men, leaving only a few women and children in the inn.
Shen Li did not go with them, but went shopping with Chi Yan. As for Pei Yu, they didn't have to worry about him at all.
Shen Li changed into a lake blue dress, her hair still tied into a ponytail, her jet-black hair hanging down behind her.
Still affected by the disaster, the shops on the street don’t have much traffic, there aren’t many things inside, and the prices are still within their acceptable range.
Shen Li came out just to take a look. As for buying food, that is impossible. The space is now self-sufficient and there is no need to waste money to buy it.
But after shopping for a while, I still bought some snacks and dry food. It’s always a good idea to sell them now.
At the inn, Lin Cuicui brought Xu Taohua downstairs and was asking the innkeeper which clinic was best.
Lin Cuicui's belly is already bulging and she is almost 6 months pregnant. Although she has always had Doctor Liu with her, she is still a little worried.
"Boss, do you know which clinic is good at treating pregnant women? My daughter-in-law has been traveling with us for so long, and I'm a little worried."
The shopkeeper saw Xu Taohua's bulging belly and nodded in understanding. "There is a Chunhuatang at the end of this street. It has a very good reputation. You can go there."
"Thank you."
In Chunhua Hall, an old doctor with a white beard was checking Xu Taohua's pulse. Both of them were very quiet and looked at the doctor nervously.
After a long time, the doctor withdrew his hand and said kindly: "The fetus in this lady's belly is fine and in good health. You don't need to worry too much."
When the two heard this, their hearts sank back into their stomachs. They picked up some pregnancy-preserving medicine from the doctor and rushed back to the inn without staying outside.
Shen Li was walking on the street leading the horse. Chi Yan had a lot of things hanging on his body. When he saw a pharmacy on the street, he was about to go in to take a look, but he was stopped by someone.
"This young lady looks unfamiliar. Is she from Anyang City?"
The man in front of him was wearing a red brocade robe, his face was painted with powder, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand and fanning himself intermittently. He had a scoundrelly expression on his face, and there were a few servants following him.
As a newcomer, Shen Li did not intend to cause trouble and was planning to go around her, but she did not expect the man in front of her to reach out and stop her.
"Oh, the young lady is so cool, hehe, I like it!"
Hiss, I can’t stand it anymore!
I can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore!
Shen Li stretched out his hand and threw a light punch. When the man saw his action, a rather obscene smile appeared on his face, but soon, his smile froze on his face.
"Bang~"
"what!"
"Master!"
The onlookers were dumbfounded. The girl looked like she could knock someone out with just one punch. Could it be that Young Master Yang was trying to scam the girl?
Even Young Master Yang's followers thought so. Their young master was working too hard!
Look at the grinning expression on the young man's face and the faintly visible blue veins on his temples, they are so realistic!
Even though they complained in their hearts, they still quickly went over and helped their master up.
When they saw the cold sweat on their young master's forehead, they realized that something seemed to be wrong.
This……
