Chapter 192 Buying Pork
Zheng Sisi has been here for so long and has been doing skin care work. Maybe this body is too weak and it hasn't recovered after so long. Although she has gained some weight now, it is still dark.
She plans to use these herbs to make a whitening recipe, which can be taken internally or applied externally as a facial mask. She believes that this two-pronged approach will be effective.
After the herbs were packed, Zheng Sisi asked Doctor Liu again, "Doctor Liu, do you have any extra medicine pounding utensils in your shop?"
Doctor Liu said, "I have two here, both of which are in use. I don't use many of them to make medicine on a regular basis. The county lady can take one."
Zheng Sisi said happily, "Okay, how much is it? It's included in the price."
After paying the bill, Zheng Sisi and her group walked out of the pharmacy and saw the third prince's carriage approaching.
Several people stood beside the carriage and waited for a while. The Third Prince's carriage arrived in front of the door. The Third Prince lifted the curtain and asked Zheng Sisi: "Sisi, where are you going next?"
Zheng Sisi said, "It's already noon. We plan to have lunch first, buy food for dinner and then go back. Have you finished your business?"
The third prince nodded: "It has been dealt with. Then you can get in the car and go to the restaurant in front for dinner."
Zheng Sisi: "Okay, let's go first, and send someone to pick up Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu later."
Zheng Sisi and her three sisters got on the carriage, Rose and Lily got on the carriage behind, and several carriages followed the third prince's carriage towards the restaurant.
This restaurant is quite grand, with two floors and exquisite decoration. When a few people entered the store, a waiter came out to greet them warmly.
The third prince asked for a private room and the waiter led him to the private room on the second floor. After confirming the location, Zheng Sisi asked Captain Liu to go to the teahouse to pick him up.
Zheng Sisi ordered all the special dishes recommended by the restaurant, and also ordered two tables downstairs. The guards, coachmen and maids ate downstairs because they also had to look after the carriage and luggage, and Zheng Sisi couldn't treat them badly.
By the time Captain Liu came back to pick up the people, all the dishes had been served. Because they still needed to do some shopping, everyone didn't hesitate and started eating as soon as everyone was present.
Zhong Ruiyu complained as he ate: "Such good ingredients didn't taste good, what a waste. If Sister Sisi made it, it would definitely be delicious."
Zheng Sisi didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but still said, "Eating can't stop your mouth."
Zhong Ruiyu said resentfully: "Is it really not delicious?"
Because the food didn’t taste good, no one ate much. After paying the bill, they drove the carriage to the vegetable market.
When we arrived at the vegetable market, which was Zheng Sisi's home market, we could tell what ingredients were needed based on what dish Zheng Sisi wanted to cook.
Zheng Sisi went to the butcher shop first and wanted to buy some pork. Although it was already noon, the meat was still very fresh. Half a piece of pork was placed on the chopping board.
Zheng Sisi asked: "Boss, is this all the meat you have here?"
The chubby pork boss looked at the girls and men in bright and beautiful clothes and felt that big business was coming.
He stood up and greeted them warmly: "Miss, Sir, the pork in my shop was slaughtered this morning, it's very fresh, how much do you need?"
Zheng Sisi said proudly: "How much do you want to sell this half of pork for?"
The pork shop owner couldn't believe it: "How much do you say?"
Zheng Sisi was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she pointed at the pork on the chopping board and said, "How much does all the pork here cost?"
The butcher said woodenly, "Pork is 15 cents a pound. This half, excluding the pig's head and feet, weighs about 70 pounds. It needs..."
The boss was busy counting the accounts.
Zheng Sisi said, "One thousand and fifty coins, right?"
The people who were accompanying her were very surprised to hear what Zheng Sisi said. They didn't expect that Zheng Sisi was so good at arithmetic and could give the answer immediately without an abacus.
The boss calculated for a long time before saying, "Miss, you are really amazing. You figured it out in one go. That's right, it's one thousand and fifty cents."
Zheng Sisi asked again: "Boss, how much are your pig heads, pig feet and pig offal?"
