Shen Rong memorized the method and shook her head, saying, "Yuanyuan, I want to help you, but two days ago, Changsheng threw his pants into the manure pit and they were so rotten that they couldn't be worn.

I was planning to buy some cloth to make a better pair of pants for Changsheng, but the little money I have is not enough. I was thinking that you should be able to lend me some money after selling ginseng, so I was planning to borrow some money from you!"

It is impossible for me to lend money to Shen Yuan, not in this lifetime!

When Shen Yuan heard this, her heart tightened. She looked at Changsheng and saw that his pants were indeed patched with several patches.

The pants looked old and had been worn for many years.

Shen Yuan looked at Shen Rong with sympathy.

Isn’t it said that Shen Wu loves his daughter?

Why don’t you give me some dowry money?

Shen Yuan thought about this and asked, "Sanniang, didn't your parents give you a dowry?"

Shen Rong bit her lip and said, "Yes, the things in my room were all prepared by my parents. As for the money... my parents have already prepared enough."

The big items in the dowry that her parents prepared for her were all in plain sight and could not be hidden.

Shen Yuan suddenly realized.

She remembered that on the day of Shen Sanniang's wedding, there was indeed a lot of dowry, but she had never heard how much silver it was.

It seems that it is really as Shen Sanniang said.

Her dowry was just a shiny donkey egg, otherwise, why would Changsheng still wear such torn and old pants?

Even Shen Sanniang herself was only wearing old clothes.

Shen Yuan knew that it was impossible to borrow money from Shen Sanniang.

But I don't have much money on hand right now, so this is a difficult problem.

Pig intestines are not worth much, but those spices are not cheap.

Like star anise, cumin, cinnamon, prickly ash, pepper, tangerine peel, cumin, cloves, bay leaves, ginger, grass fruit, turmeric. Amomum villosum, monk fruit, lemongrass, cinnamon, magnolia, and nard. Many of these spices are sold at a relatively high price in drugstores.

There are also salt, soy sauce, rice wine, rock sugar, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Adding so many seasonings together is also a considerable expense.

The process of braising is simple. Wrap all the spices with gauze, put them in a pot, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, and then simmer for at least thirty minutes.

Wait until the flavor of the spices is fully absorbed into the water, then add the washed pig intestines and simmer until the ingredients are cooked through and flavorful. Then you are done.

It would be more delicious if there were some dried chilies to add some spiciness.

It tastes good when stir-fried with fresh peppers.

Shen Yuan would not be willing to give up if he got stuck at the cost stage!

Shen Rong listened to Shen Yuan's thoughts and began to think about how to ruin Shen Yuan's good deeds.

"Sanniang, in that case, I'll go back first." Unable to borrow money, Shen Yuan was too lazy to waste time here any longer.

Shen Rong also heard the information she wanted, but did not keep anyone.

As soon as Shen Yuan left, Shen Rong squatted next to Changsheng.

"Changsheng, do you know that star anise, cinnamon, fennel...are those medicines available in our pharmacy?"

Shen Yuan just said that those things are sold in pharmacies. I guess these spices are also Chinese medicines.

Changsheng ignored her, stood up, holding his stomach, and ran straight to the toilet.

Shen Rong frowned tightly.

While she was talking to Shen Yuan just now, Changsheng had already gone to the toilet twice. Shen Rong was really worried, so she followed him quietly.

She didn't go into the toilet either. Instead, she stood under the window and looked inside secretly like a hooligan.

However, as soon as Changsheng entered the toilet, he hurriedly unbuttoned his pants, held the thing with his hand, stood there in a daze, and was unable to urinate for a long time.

Changsheng hung his head and waited for a while before putting on his pants in a depressed mood.

Seeing this, Shen Rong hurriedly left the toilet.

It has been three days and he has not even drunk the elixir of life. He has just been running to the toilet.

She thought Changsheng's condition would gradually get better, but it was obvious that his problem was getting worse.

Shen Rong looked at Changsheng who walked into the yard and made a decision in her heart.

In the evening, before the sun set, Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu came back carrying the medicine boxes.

When they came back this time, both of them had relaxed smiles on their faces.

"I won't be going out for a while after I come back this time. Sanniang, thank you for taking care of Changsheng these days."

Sanniang had a look of shame on her face. Seeing Changsheng being taken into the house by Sixth Grandpa to talk, she whispered to Sixth Grandma what had happened in the past few days and Changsheng's current situation.

After hearing this, Sixth Grandma frowned, but she didn't say anything about Shen Rong not meddling in other people's affairs.

"I know, let's set the table first!"

For dinner, Shen Rong cooked porridge and steamed some pancakes.

Changsheng didn't drink any water these days, so Shen Rong could only do some tricks with his food.

For example, there must be some soup or water at every meal so that Changsheng can replenish some water.

I thought that since Changsheng hadn't drunk any water during the day, he should have some porridge now, but I didn't expect that Changsheng hadn't even touched the porridge.

Even though he was choked by the pancake, he just stretched his neck and refused to touch a single porridge.

Sixth Grandma frowned and looked at Changsheng, "Give me some porridge and I'll go down."

Changsheng's face turned red and he shook his head stubbornly.

Shen Rong patted him on the back quickly. After a while, Changsheng finally swallowed the biscuit, and then continued to chew the dry biscuit.

Grandma Liu put her chopsticks on the table, her face darkening, "Drink the porridge!"

Changsheng held half a pancake in his hand and didn't even touch the bowl in front of him.

Sixth Grandpa frowned and looked at Changsheng, with a solemn expression on his face, "Changsheng, listen to your grandma and drink the porridge."

Changsheng lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the table.

Perhaps he remembered that he had wet his pants, and his face turned as red as if he had put on rouge.

Sixth Grandpa didn't know what had happened to Changsheng, and there was a hint of worry on his face.

At this time, Grandma Six spoke up, "I asked you to drink the porridge for me, didn't you hear me?"

Changsheng then looked up at Sixth Grandma, and like a child throwing a tantrum, he reached out and pushed the bowl in front of him away, spilling porridge all over the table.

Sixth Grandma's face turned even darker.

"Eternal life!" Sixth Grandpa said in a low voice.

Changsheng turned his head away and didn't look at his grandfather.

"Put the cake down. Either drink porridge today or don't eat anything at all!"

Sixth Grandma looked at Changsheng and said in a deep voice.

Changsheng pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. Then he put the half piece of cake in his hand on the table in a huff, turned his head, got up and went back to the house.

Shen Rong looked at Changsheng, then at Sixth Grandma, feeling a little at a loss.

At this time, Sixth Grandpa sighed, "Sanniang, what happened to him?"

Shen Rong lowered her head and repeated what she had said to Sixth Grandma before.

Sixth Grandpa frowned and got up and went to Changsheng's room. After a while, the voice of Sixth Grandpa was heard from that room, but it was not clear.

Sixth Grandma frowned, sighed, and was slow to bring the bowl in front of her.

"Grandma, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to be like this."

Sixth Grandma shook her head. "This has nothing to do with you. Changsheng is just being stubborn!"

After saying that, she turned around with a sad look on her face and went back to the house.
