Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

After breakfast, Lu You told Widow Zhou and Lu Yi not to go out, and then he went out carrying a bamboo basket.

As soon as he walked out of Buhou Street and onto the main road, Lu You paused slightly.

[Negative emotions from Li Ergou +15, +15, +15...]

[Negative emotions from Chen Pingan +10, +10, +10...]

[Negative emotions from Fan Xian +8...]

"Why are there so many stones on the road? It hurts my feet to step on them!"

Lu You muttered to himself as he looked at the smooth bluestone pavement beneath his feet, then walked forward again with a normal expression.

But in his heart, Lu You couldn't stop cursing.

Just now she opened the income record and found that in just a short while, more than a dozen negative emotional incomes popped up.

It seems that those who covet the prescription are really crazy.

He actually deployed so many people to watch at the entrance of his own street.

Tiantian’s tofu stall was not far away. When Lu You passed by, he happened to see Lu Ming helping to remove the sold-out tofu slabs.

"Sister Luyou!"

Seeing Lu You, Tiantian hurried out to greet him, and even Aunt Wei came over with a smile.

"Sister Lu You, thank you for giving the water tank to my family." Tiantian said happily while holding Lu You's arm.

"It's okay. I have a well at home. If you want to drink water, just draw a bucket. You don't need such a big water tank, right, Luming?"

As he spoke, Lu You looked towards Lu Ming in the distance with a smile.

"Yes, what second sister said is right." Lu You said perfunctorily with a silly smile, but his eyes never left Tiantian from beginning to end.

Aunt Wei next to her came to Lu You with a smile.

"Luyo, don't listen to Tiantian's nonsense, the water tank is just two kids messing around."

"It's true that you have a well at home, but when it rains, the water in the well will smell fishy, ​​so you still need a water tank to store water."

"I have to open the stall in the morning, so I'm really too busy. I'll send the jar back to you after I close the stall."

Hearing Aunt Wei's words, Lu You quickly waved his hands.

"Aunt Wei, my family doesn't use much water except for cooking and making tea, so you can just use the jar."

Tiantian looked at Aunt Wei with a smug look on her face when she heard this: "I said Sister Luyou really wanted to give the jar to our family!"

Looking at Tiantian's happy expression, Lu You sighed in his heart.

Silly child, just laugh, the jar is for your family today.

Tomorrow you will be mine!

Aunt Wei was also looking at Luming and Tiantian with a wry smile, thinking that these two silly kids together might not be able to come up with a single idea.

"Luyou, what are you going to do with the bamboo basket on your back? Aren't you going to sell pancakes today?" Aunt Wei asked, changing the subject.

Hearing this, Lu You quickly raised his voice and shouted.

"It's nothing serious! I just ran out of medicine for making pancakes. Go buy some herbs!"

[Negative emotions from Wei +50, +50, +50...]

[Negative emotions from Fan Tiantian +30, +30, +30...]

Lu Ming: “…………”

"You kid, you suddenly shouted like that and scared me!"

Aunt Wei said with a wry smile.

"Aunt Wei has good hearing, she's not deaf!"

Upon hearing this, Lu You smiled nonchalantly, then chatted with Aunt Wei for a few more words about family matters before turning around and leaving.

At the same time Lu You left, the customers who were shopping at several surrounding stalls put down their things almost at the same time and followed Lu You away without saying a word.

The street, which was originally very busy, suddenly had a large empty area, which made Aunt Wei stunned.

Lu You walked around two streets and then went straight into a pharmacy.

"Boss, get the medicine!"

Standing in front of the counter, Lu You said with a smile.

The shopkeeper was a skinny old man. When he saw someone coming, he hurried to the counter.

"Who is ill? Bring me the prescription."

"There is no prescription." Lu You said casually, "I want the third one in the first row."

The shopkeeper turned to look at the medicine cabinet that Lu You pointed to, and saw the following words written on the left, right and top sides respectively: Eucommia ulmoides, jujube and licorice.

"Excuse me, which one do you want?"

"Anything works!"

[Negative emotions from Wandefa +30, +30, +30...]

Listening to the system prompt sound coming from his mind, Lu You knew that he seemed a little ridiculous, so he thought for a while and spoke again.

"How about some dates?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lu You with a complicated look, but did not ask too many questions. He just opened the medicine cabinet and took out a bag of sliced ​​dried dates.

"Sanwen."

Lu You swiftly handed over three copper coins, then opened the oil paper bag that the shopkeeper had wrapped, grabbed two pieces and threw them into his mouth.

[Negative emotions from Wandefa +30, +30, +30...]

After Lu You left, the boss looked at the three copper coins on the counter and fell into deep thought.

Is this girl sick?

Come to the pharmacy to buy dates?

Jujubes are in season now and can be found on the streets. Wouldn’t it be better to sell fresh ones?

What a weirdo!

The shopkeeper was just thinking about it when four or five people walked in from outside the door again.

"Everyone, what do you want to catch..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The leader said coldly, "Let me ask you, what medicinal herbs did that girl buy just now?"

Seeing how fierce the men were, the shopkeeper did not dare to hide anything and quickly said, "Dates."

Hearing this, the man stretched out his hand and slapped out a tael of silver: "I'll buy all the dates you have here, hurry up!"

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go and wrap it right away." The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

But before the shopkeeper could make a move, several people nearby also bid one or two taels of silver each.

"Why should you take care of everything? We want dates too!"

The shopkeeper looked at the five taels of silver on the counter in astonishment.

"You guys... aren't you all together?"

"How can you tell that we are together?" The man who first paid the money said coldly, "I paid first, give me the dates!"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu You returned to the courtyard carrying half a bamboo basket full of various medicinal herbs.

Seeing Lu You coming back, Widow Zhou hurried forward to greet him.

"Luyo, you've been out for a whole day. You must have bought so many things."

After taking down the bamboo basket, Lu You turned around and shouted outside.

"I'm so exhausted!"

"I ran all over town today and finally bought all the herbs. We'll start boiling the herbs soon."

In the yard, Lu Ming was standing in the corner. Hearing his second sister's voice rising an octave again, Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Why is my second sister shouting again?

But the second sister has her own reasons.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's brows relaxed, and then he stood up and ran to the firewood pile to help carry the firewood.

"I'll make the fire!"

…………

An hour later, a strong smell of Chinese medicine wafted through the courtyard.

And Lu You's high-octave voice was heard again.

“It’s this sticky look, done!”

Widow Zhou frowned as she looked at the sticky medicinal soup in the pot: "Luyou, are you sure this is edible?"

"Don't worry, this is my exclusive secret recipe." Lu You shouted again in an octave higher.

On the street outside the courtyard, several figures squatting by the wall stood up and left silently, disappearing into the night...
