The Ger's Contract Marriage [BL] Chapter 19: Shopping is Fun in Any Era

After paying for the wantons and sending a few smiles to the auntie, Xu Feng wanted to do so shopping. Not too much shopping, in Xu Feng's opinion.

It wouldn't be smart to purchase too many things with Steward Wu around, and Lady Xuan arriving in the next week for the wedding. He wouldn't want them to feel he was living too comfortably and inviting trouble before he could really be independent.

Xu Feng also wouldn't let any of the money for renovations be sent back to the main house. Not for the sake of Si, San, and Erlang. It was rely to spite Lady Xuan for being so stingy. Okay, maybe it was a bit of both.

Xu Feng had a clear list of things he wanted and necessities. His wedding was in a week, and it was uncertain when he would get a chance to co out to Yilin even after the wedding.

Miscellaneous grains, flour, beans, kimchee, seeds, rice wine, seasonings, spices, at, and more, in moderation, were all rational and important staples they needed to last the winter.

They needed to get back on the streets and fill up those back baskets with a little discretion.

In his previous world, Xu Feng always enjoyed shopping, unlike most boys his age. From markets to convenience stores, departnt stores, online shopping and grocery stores, they all had their own uniqueness.

When he was young and visited his grandma, he loved going to traditional markets with her and picking fresh produce and local specialties. As a college student, going to the convenience store was always like a small adventure away from his studies.

Xu Feng found the seasoning here was very scarce and there were not many of them in Yilin. Maybe it was different in the south or in the capital, but the town didn't have very much variety. There was no shop specifically for condints either.

Ordinary people generally used scallion, ginger, garlic, and salt. Soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar, were only used by those who were more particular about food. There wasn't any pepper, cumin, and star anise, that were all common in modern tis.

Xu Feng liked spicy food, if there was no chili in this world, would he have to eat bland and mild food for a lifeti?

"What else to buy?"

Looking up at the at seller on the corner of the street, their group headed to the corner. Other than the wonton, they hadn't eaten fresh at since the Xuan mother and son left.

It wasn't that there was no at served, but it seed only Aunt Lan, Lifen, and Steward Wu were eating at. Xu Feng even slled at from the guards when he walked to digest his al.

The only at Xu Feng had eaten recently were from the betrothal gifts sent from the Xuan family. Although Xu Feng wasn't a die-hard at fanatic, he still liked to eat at like most people from modern or ancient tis.

Xu Feng wasn't a pushover, but he hadn't even officially entered the door, he wasn't ready to start a fight with the servants and the forr power of this estate, Steward Wu. He had other things on his plate that were much more important.

"Excuse , give three jin of pork belly."

The sweet and firm voice of the young ger ca into the owner's ears. As soon as the pork seller raised his head, he squinted his smiling eyes and said, "What?"

Xu Feng repeated it with a charming smile as the large man's face flushed a bit. This food couldn't be kept for too long without a refrigerator or at least the first snowfall. They would need to co back into town after the wedding to buy more at to last them over winter.

The pork seller cut the at neatly while occasionally look at the appearance of the beautiful and refined ger, "One tael for three jin."

Pork belly cost 16 wen a catty. Xu Feng saw there were a lot of pig bones next to him. He asked, "How much is this bone?"

"Eight coins per catty."

It was so much cheaper than at, bones were less fleshy and weighed a lot. It was not enough for a family to eat. So not many people were willing to buy bones. This caused bones to be much cheaper than at.

The at was super delicious, but Xu Feng looked at his group of drooling children. They needed to drink bone soup to replenish their bodies. Xu Feng chose two tube bones and paid the money.

Erlang took the initiative and took the pork not letting his mistress do any heavy labor.

Next the group went to the doctor. Winter was coming, and the days would only get colder. With their group of malnourished children, the original owner included, a good prescription for winter was necessary.

The dical hall in the town was not as big as a modern smaller clinic, but it was full of the aroma of herbal dicine. Si imdiately let out a sneeze as soon as they entered.

The cabinet for the herbal dicine occupied two walls. There was an old man with all-white hair and a beard who was sitting behind the wooden desk and diagnosed the pulse of a pale-faced-ger.

That middle-aged man who wore a cobalt brocade next to her asked anxiously, "Doctor Lim, what's wrong with my wife?"

Doctor Lim humd and said, "Stomach cold that causes stomach and abdominal pain. Need so good treatnt."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. "Then please make the prescription!"

Doctor Lim glanced at the middle-aged man. "You should pay attention to your diet when you have a stomach cold. Don't eat raw or cold food. I'll prescribe so pepper for you and add so when you boil a stew."

When Xu Feng heard this, pure excitent flashed in his eyes. He sneakily looked over at Doctor Lim who lowered his head to write a prescription then asked his apprentice to grab the dicine.
