Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Chapter 181

After Shen Miaozhu was pushed into the car by her junior sister at the city gate, she reluctantly stuck her head out of the car again: "Seventh Uncle will temporarily take charge of the county affairs."

"Why?" Shen Lingzhu and his elder brother, who were still laughing just now, asked together.

Shen Miaozhu sighed softly and said, "Second Grandfather didn't allow him to come and asked him to temper himself.

From now on, at least during the period before the New Year, only my eldest brother can continue to be the shopkeeper."

After a while, the brother and sister watched Shen Miaozhu and her group leave. Shen Xianzhu shook the homework in his hand and said, "Dad must have arranged it long ago, deliberately letting my second sister give me so much homework before leaving."

"You have to work hard, big brother, and suffer in your heart and body." Shen Lingzhu's gloating was immediately retaliated by her big brother for her soft hair.

Shen Lingzhu said: "Let's buy some more ingredients. I'll learn from grandpa."

Before, he only thought that he would be the shopkeeper for a few days when the business opened, and he didn't expect to be the shopkeeper for a long time.

In this way, he can't just ask about many things in a perfunctory manner, but needs to lower his head and bend down to do it himself. I'm afraid his father also has this idea.

Shen Lingzhu definitely supports his idea. Of course, one should support someone who is willing to take the initiative to do things.

But she had a small request? "Brother, would you mind learning how to buy fresh ingredients from me first?"

"Hmm?" Shen Xianzhu was surprised. "In just a few days, you have already learned all the true teachings from Grandpa?"

"In just a few days, grandma has lost a lot of weight.

He got up in the middle of the night to cook mutton soup and spicy soup, and then took me to the morning market to buy the necessary ingredients.

After coming back, I only sleep for an hour and then have to prepare the stir-fried dishes for lunch. After a short nap, I have to prepare the filling for the buns.

Although Aunt Jiu helped with some of the stuffing and cooking, the main pressure was on Grandpa. "Regarding opening a shop in the capital, they needed another chef's assistant.

However, Captain Chen's conditions restricted the use of outsiders in the store.

Unfortunately, my two cousins ​​Zhi and I have only learned the basics so far, and we are worried if grandpa doesn't keep an eye on us while he makes the soup.

"Brother, am I too impatient? I should postpone the cooking time for a few days.

I tried to persuade Grandpa, but he said we must be careful with what we eat. Fortunately, we didn't have a late meal." She was even beginning to doubt herself.

Shen Xianzhu was silent for a moment, "I can't support so many people just by selling breakfast.

I came to tell Grandpa that after he prepares the soup, he can try to let Cousin Zhi do the rest of the work."

He could see that among the young men from the Huang, Shen and Chang families, the one that Huang's grandfather focused on teaching was Huang Xunzhi.

He couldn't force it on this point, he just hoped the other two would be more considerate.

Shen Lingzhu: "Thank you, brother."

"You little girl, I am your brother.

Let's go to Renhetang to buy some bird's nest for grandpa." Shen Xianzhu gently rubbed her head this time.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingzhu immediately climbed onto the donkey cart behind him, "Brother, this idea is brilliant. After overworking and spending a lot of money on supplements, grandpa will definitely listen to my advice and rest.

A pound of swallows weighs several ounces, so Grandpa definitely wouldn’t want us to eat them.”

The two of them ran excitedly to find Shopkeeper Tang and got some bird's nests at a very favorable price.

As soon as I left Renhe Hall, I met Taoist Master Zhiyuan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"you?"

"Taoist priest?"

Both sides were surprised to see each other here.

Shen Lingzhu suddenly thought of what her senior sister had said. She asked, "Master, are you here to discuss the supply of medicinal herbs?"

"Yes." The medicinal materials of Qixing Temple are mostly supplied to the medical clinic of Zhending Prefecture because of the favors of the older generation. However, in the past two years, they have been constantly lowering the price. When they heard that the medicinal fields in the temple were severely infested with insects this year, they sent people to notify us that they would not accept the goods for the time being.

He was worried that his master would be troubled by this and his health would be affected, so he secretly wrote letters to some of his master's friends, hoping to sell them some of the herbs, but the amount was a drop in the bucket and it was only a friendly price.

So after Zhiyuan took on a ritual last time, he chose to go to Beijing to contact various Taoist temples, and also visited many medical clinics and drug stores in and around Beijing, and finally brought some business to his own Taoist temple.

He came back in a hurry to transport the goods, and happened to pass by the provincial capital today, so he stopped for a while and prepared to sell them at Renhetang Huichuntang.

"Are you here to ask for medicine?" He saw the paper bag that Shen Xianzhu was carrying.

Shen Xianzhu nodded and said, "Buy some bird's nests. Taoist priest, my second sister has already signed medicine supply contracts with the three medical clinics, Renhe, Huichun, and Jimin. The Taoist priests from Qixing Temple will deliver it in a few days."

Shen Lingzhu added, "A few days ago, Taoist Zhicheng and his men sent a cart of medicine to Doctor Sun in Ansu."

"Do you... know how my master is doing now?" Taoist Zhiyuan realized that his master knew that Zhending Prefecture would not accept medicinal herbs this year.

Shen Lingzhu thought about it and said: "It's okay." But the senior sister said that Taoist Xuan Lingzi was already at the end of his strength.

She couldn't help but remind him, "My second sister said that the Taoist priest missed you very much."

"Thank you." After Taoist Zhiyuan bowed, he said goodbye in a hurry without even entering the clinic.

Shen Xianzhu looked at his sister: "You didn't tell me that my second sister is already a disciple of the Seven Stars Temple."

"A registered disciple." Shen Lingzhu corrected him.

As the two of them drove, she added, "Maybe if Taoist Zhiyuan speeds up, he can catch up with my second sister."

"Given his eagerness to go back, he probably won't pay attention to passers-by." Shen Xianzhu has a different opinion.

The brother and sister were chatting as they hurried back. When they were almost at Fuqian Street, a team of fast horses came from the opposite direction, so fast that many passers-by could not avoid them.

The donkey cart driven by Shen Xianzhu was also included. Shen Lingzhu predicted that they could not escape, so he shouted, "Brother, jump out of the way."

The two siblings grabbed their important belongings and jumped off the cart, and as it rolled to the steps of a roadside shop, their donkey was frightened and ran away.

"Ah, whose car is it?"

"Get out of the way."

The first thing Shen Lingzhu saw was her little donkey covered in blood, screaming in pain and running towards a tea shop, overturning two unattended stalls.

The team of fast horses had already flown far away, and the eldest brother got up and ran to chase the donkey cart.

The next moment, a child in the tea shop leaned out and saw the donkey about to rush in. Without time to think, Shen Lingzhu grabbed the bamboo crossbow and quiver she had taken when she jumped off the car and ran to the side.

In an instant, with a "whoosh", the bamboo arrow pierced the donkey's neck.

Bang! The moment the donkey fell, the child who had just tilted his head to look was taken away by someone in the store.

"Huh..." Shen Lingzhu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it clearly.

Shen Xianzhu didn't care about the donkey's life or death at this time and ran to his sister: "Xiao Zhuzi, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Shen Lingzhu nodded subconsciously. When she was helped up by her elder brother, the waiter in the tea shop came out to check on Mao's condition.

Many onlookers were driven away by the police who arrived after hearing the news. "What's going on? Whose donkey cart is running rampant on this street?"

"It's not a donkey cart, it's a team of fast horses." A woman holding a child walked out of the tea shop. She had just come in to avoid the fast horses, but she didn't expect her child to run to the door.

Fortunately, the donkey was shot, otherwise the child would have been injured.

The officer shouted, "Where is the fast horse?"

"He knocked over a lot of stalls and left." Shen Lingzhu and his elder brother came forward.
