This Water Margin is a bit weird

Chapter 45 Pan's Restaurant ([-])

When there is no money, the first reaction of the younger generation is to reach out and ask the elders for it.

But the problem is that although Li Qinglian's current physical age is nine years old, his mental age is already more than 90 years old!

Therefore, in terms of psychological age, whether it is Pan Changhe or Wang Tiexin, they are all his grandchildren!
The elder asked the younger for money, and it would be embarrassing to say it...

Therefore, Li Qinglian could only ask for money from elders who were older than him!
If you want to say who is the oldest in the Pan family, it is definitely the youngest-looking Zhenmo Xiaoxue!
It is a paradox to say that, judging from the appearance, the youngest is the oldest existence. What is going on?Let's find out with Li Qinglian...

(Li Qinglian: Where did the copywriting of the marketing account come from?)

Back in the bedroom, Zhenmo Xiaoxue was still sealed by the evil blanket, her immature and cute face was flushed from sleep, just looking at it made people want to hold her up and take a big suck.

For Li Qinglian, taking a sip was impossible, because it would not be able to wake Zhenmo Xiaoxue at all.

and so--

Li Qinglian directly grabbed a small and exquisite foot out of the bed, then pinched a lock of her hair, and gently scratched at the white and red footprint...

"what!!!"

Zhenmo Xiaoxuetian is not afraid of anything, but she is most afraid of someone tickling her. She was still sleeping soundly one second, and suddenly put her feet back the next second. She sat up directly, hugging the quilt with her clear pair of clear eyes. The cute big eyes stared at the culprit who tickled her.

"You'd better have a legitimate reason to explain your behavior, otherwise, you won't even think about going to bed, and you will sleep on the floor for me in the future!"

"Is such that……"

Hearing that Li Qinglian wanted to borrow money from her to do business, Zhenmo Xiaoxue angrily threw a bank note and a money bag over.

"I only have so much money, and I'll give it to you. If you dare to disturb my sleep with such a boring reason next time, I'll castrate you! By the way, where are you going to go shopping?"

"Just go to the Zhang family medicine store in the south of the city."

"Oh, remember not to go too far, I'll sleep first."

After finishing speaking, Zhenmo Xiaoxue fell into the seal of the bed again...

Only then did Li Qinglian have the time to look at the silver that Xiaoxue gave him, which almost shocked him!
The bank note is 100 taels, and the money bag contains broken silver. I don't know the exact denomination, but no matter how you look at it, it will not be less than ten taels.

Don’t think that the 110 taels of silver are small. In the Dawen Dynasty, the purchasing power of silver was very strong. One tael of silver was enough to provide food and clothing for a family of four for a month. The value created is only barely two or three taels of silver...

Therefore, 110 taels is a huge sum of money for the current Li Qinglian and even the entire Pan family.

Li Qinglian, who was struggling with the money, looked at the huge sum of money in her hand, and subconsciously wanted to hug the sleeping little rich woman and kiss her to express her ecstasy, but considering that the little rich woman had a bad temper, he could only use the last In a tactful way, she leaned into Xiaoxue's ear and said "thank you" softly.

Zhenmo Xiaoxue, whose ears were itchy from the heat, subconsciously gave a "pot sticker" to Li Qinglian's beautiful face.

Touching her hot cheeks, Li Qinglian felt that she was still a caring wife. Even though she was an "ex", she still loved him after all. Knowing that he didn't have enough for breakfast, she specially cooked "baked pot stickers" for him...

Zhangjia Pharmacy in the south of the city——

Old Zhang, whose business was bleak, took out a rocking chair and came under the big tree at the door to enjoy the shade. Looking at the prosperous Wang's drugstore opposite, his old face was full of sadness.

Although there is a couplet posted on the gate of the pharmacy, "I would rather put the medicine on the shelf to make dust, I hope there will be no disease in the world", but after all, people have to eat!
Besides, as long as you are a businessman, who doesn't want your business to be prosperous, even the half-closed prostitutes hope that there will be a few more short, fast, big pig's hooves at night...

Just as Lao Zhang's heart was shaking, a childish and gentle voice sounded: "Is Doctor Zhang there?"

Hearing someone in the store, Lao Zhang quickly said, "Here he is!"

Back in the store, Lao Zhang looked at the unparalleled handsome young man in front of him, and said with a smile, "I recognize you. You are the son of Butcher Pan, and your name is Li Qinglian, right? Tell me, what medicine do you want?"

"I want star anise, cinnamon bark, tangerine peel, clove, kaempferen, pepper, fennel, fragrant leaves, grass fruit, ginger, licorice... All of the above will come with a catty first!"

Hearing these names, Lao Zhang frowned and asked: "Qing Lian'er, these don't seem to be medicinal materials for treating injuries?"

The fact that Butcher Pan was injured by Wang Ying is well-known in the Daming Mansion, especially at that time Wang Tiexin had come to ask Lao Zhang, hoping that Lao Zhang could come to see a doctor, but Lao Zhang was afraid of the Wang family's power, and all the locals The doctor also refused.

But now that Wang Ying is dead and the old man of the Wang family died suddenly, the Wang family can no longer take care of some things, so Lao Zhang dared to receive Li Qinglian.

Regarding Lao Zhang's doubts, Li Qinglian said calmly: "Doctor Zhang, just say whether you will sell it or not!"

"Sell it! Of course I sell it, but as a doctor, I have to ask the customer what the medicine is for!"

"I'll buy it and eat it. Is this answer okay?"

(Old Zhang: It seems to have answered but didn’t answer anything)
finally--

Old Zhang let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, but the small store doesn't have that much stock, and there are only a few taels of certain medicinal materials."

"It doesn't matter, if it's not enough, then take as much as you have."

He grabbed all the things that Li Qinglian needed, and put them in cloth bags by category.

"Thanks to your patronage, the total is six taels of silver."

It wasn't until the accounts were settled that Lao Zhang realized that it was a question of whether Li Qinglian, a child, could come up with so much money!
Just when Lao Zhang was uneasy, Li Qinglian took out a bulging money bag from her bosom, and poured out a small pile of broken silver.

"Doctor Zhang weigh it to see if it is enough."

Seeing that Li Qinglian really took out such a silver, Lao Zhang quickly swept the broken silver into the plate and weighed it, which happened to be six taels or six!

"Doctor Zhang, is the money all right? Then I'll go first!"

"Wait a minute!"

"What else?"

"Young master, if you take this money well, it will be my apology."

As he spoke, Lao Zhang stuffed a piece of broken silver into Li Qinglian's hand.

Holding a piece of broken silver, Li Qinglian was a little confused: "Why is this, Doctor Zhang?"

Lao Zhang smiled wryly and said: "Young master, Lingtang once came to the store to ask me for help, but I had no choice but to refuse due to the power of the Wang family. Please don't bear any grudges, young master."

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhang bowed his hands to Li Qinglian as an apology.
