Father Liu arranged for them to split into three groups: one group went to buy food, one group went to the East Gate to buy water, and another group went to the library.

After leaving the inn, look around along the way to see if there is anything you can buy. Try to buy as much as possible. It seems that people feel more secure when they have more things.

Liu's father and mother took their two maids to buy food in a mule cart, while Lin Weizhong and his son took Liu Caiyun and Xiaomei to the east gate to buy water.

Liu Caiyun was very strong. She carried a wooden barrel in one hand and held Xiaomei's hand with the other. When they separated like this, each side could just take care of each other.

Liu Caixia took Liu Xiaolu and the Fang siblings to the bookstore to see if there were any county chronicles or national chronicles or travel notes. It is always good to know more about this era.

I'll go around the city and see if there are any open stores where I can buy something, and I'll also go to the pharmacy and sell all the remaining herbs.

They didn't sell all the Ganoderma lucidum yesterday, so today they sent someone else to sell the remaining herbs.

Change pharmacies and ask about the prices.

Free up as much space as possible. There is still a long way to go, and you can put more things in if there is space!

After the tasks were assigned, everyone went their separate ways, and Liu Caixia led them to the pharmacy quickly.

The door was already open, and a young man was cleaning and wiping the medicine cabinet. When he saw someone coming in, he greeted, "Madam, are you here to see a doctor and get medicine?"

"No, we came from Dahuan Mountain and picked some herbs. Do you want to collect them?"

When the young man heard that the person was selling medicine, he didn't have a bad attitude, "I'll take it. You can take it out and have a look. For ordinary herbs, I can directly make the decision."

Liu Caixia put down the basket on her back and asked Liu Xiaolu to open a cloth bag: "That bag is full of wolfberries, all dried. Here are some for you to take a look."

Liu Caixia was embarrassed to tell the names of these herbs, for fear that the names of the herbs at that time would be different. The young man took out the wolfberries and looked at them, then looked at the herbs in the basket.

He took out a scale from the counter and weighed the fruits. He quoted the price and weight one by one, calculated the amount and reported it to Liu Caixia: "I'll give you 850 coins in total. Only the wolfberries are valuable. The other herbs are ordinary herbs. Most of the forests here are not valuable. Do you think this is okay?"

Sure enough, there were some discrepancies in the names of many medicinal herbs. In the end, Liu Caixia was a little confused about what the medicine was and what the price was. She watched this guy list them out one by one.

It doesn't look like they were cheated. Even if they were, she couldn't find a reason to refute it, unless she didn't want to sell it anymore. After thinking about it, she decided to sell it.

"Okay, thank you, little doctor."

"I'm not a doctor yet. I'm just an apprentice. Please wait a moment while I get the money for you."

"Madam, please count them. Madam, are you going to settle down in Quguan? Your herbs are dried well. You can bring them here later. Our pharmacy is the most fair in the entire county."

"Thank you, little doctor. We are going to Sanqing County. Do you know Sanqing County?"

"I'm not very clear. I've lived in Quguan County since I was a child and have never left here. The farthest I've been is to the nearby mountains to collect herbs."

"It's okay, thank you, the amount of money is correct, we'll leave now."

"Ma'am, take care."

Liu Caixia led a few people out and saw a pastry shop. They had already put out two plates of pastries for sale. When they got closer, they saw a green square pastry and a red square pastry.

"How do you sell this cake? What is it made of?"

Liu Xiaolu thought the pastries looked delicious, so she asked the boss directly.

After all, if she wanted to buy some cakes, her mother would agree to buy them for her.

"This is mung bean cake, and this is water chestnut cake. They are both 8 cents each. Would you like two?"

Liu Caixia looked at the Fang siblings around her, thought about it and decided to buy one for everyone: "Give me 12 each."

When the boss heard that it was a big deal, he said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

Spread out a piece of wax paper, place the cakes one by one, then fold it carefully and tie it up with a straw rope.

The pastry is quite big, slightly smaller than steamed buns, but the ingredients are very solid and the price is much more expensive than steamed buns.

"Madam, take it, it's one hundred and ninety-two coins in total!"

After paying, Liu Caixia gave the cakes to Xiaolu: "If you want to eat, take some and put the rest away."

After Liu Xiaolu took it, she looked at Fang Chenxi first, as if asking her if she wanted to eat it. Fang Chenxi shook her head and refused her. Fang Chenhao next to her stared at the cake in her hand.

So Liu Xiaolu put away the others, took one in her hand, and broke it into two halves with slight force.

Liu Xiaolu took a bite of the water chestnut cake and found it tasted good. It had a light and refreshing taste. "Mom, this water chestnut cake is quite delicious!"

By the way, he gave the other half to Fang Chenhao: "Chenhao, eat quickly!"

Fang Chenhao took half of the cake and saw Liu Xiaolu eating it. He also took a bite and said, "Thank you. Yes, it's delicious!"

Liu Caixia hugged Liu Xiaolu tenderly and said, "We can make whatever delicious food we want in the future. Your mother knows a lot, and maybe our family can make a living by selling cakes in the future! Those candies, cakes, and breads can be made in a simple way."

After walking for a while, they came across a ready-made clothing and cloth shop. Liu Caixia went in and bought two sets of coarse cloth clothes for the two maids.

I didn’t buy any other houses because there are other counties to come and the conditions in other counties might be better.

Besides, their coarse cloth clothes are enough for them to wear, and they will make plans after they settle down, so the clothes must be comfortable to wear.

Liu Caixia walked out of the ready-made clothing shop, clutching the two newly bought coarse cloth clothes tightly in her hands, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and shines on her slightly dusty but still resolute face.

Liu Caixia looked up into the distance, her eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.

Although this journey is full of unknowns and challenges, as long as we have hope, nothing is impossible.

Especially, parents, daughter and relatives are all around.

Half an hour passed by unknowingly, and we arrived at the east gate.

Lin Weizhong and his team were standing a little further away, with two wooden barrels next to them.

Liu Caixia went over and saw that there was half a bucket of water in it, so she felt relieved. The line for water sellers was still long, but it seemed that there was not much water left.

"I don't know how much food I bought. Hurry up and get out of the city as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease. I'm always a little panicked."

Lin Weizhong looked around and whispered, "I've inquired. All the disaster victims outside the gate want to come in. Those with travel permits and household registration can't even fit in. Not to mention those without these things. Wouldn't that make things even more chaotic?"

"So we have to leave the city early. You see, there is not much water left. Our bucket of water has been looked at several times by those people."

"It's okay. They don't dare to rob in the city. Besides, I'm not a pushover."

Lin Weizhong protected the bucket of water and said confidently.

Liu Caixia rolled her eyes and laughed at him, "How can you still let lightning strike you? Hahaha, forget it."

As the two were worried, a mule cart slowly drove over. Liu Caixia felt relieved when she saw that Liu's father and mother were sitting on one side, and Mrs. Zhao was sitting on the other side. Mrs. Tan was driving the car.

"Let's go, let's get out of town."
