Although asking Zhang Fei for money and not spending it frivolously, it was to buy medicinal materials, but if he kept asking for it over and over again, it might make people unhappy.

After all, Li Mengxi also felt that it was a bit inappropriate to ask for the money just after Zhang Fei had given him the money.

After thinking for a while, Li Mengxi did not go to Zhang Fei directly, but to Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were watching the children playing. Li Mengxi came and quietly pulled Liu Bei's sleeve.

Liu Bei looked back and asked with a smile, "Xi'er, why are you pulling me?"

Li Mengxi signaled Liu Bei to come over. Li Mengxi was short, but Liu Bei really bent down and listened carefully.

Li Mengxi whispered in Liu Bei's ear for a while.

After hearing this, Liu Bei squinted his eyes and couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand to touch Li Mengxi's head, but he took it back halfway.

"Sure, I'll give it to you!"

Liu Bei then walked to the dolls and called Zhang Fei, who was having a great time with a doll on his shoulders, "Third brother!"

Liu Bei called.

Zhang Fei put down the doll in his arms and looked over.

"Xi'er said that he didn't buy enough medicine and needed to buy some more. He didn't dare to ask you for money, so he asked someone to come and ask for it." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Zhang Fei was not happy when he heard this and felt that Li Mengxi regarded Zhang Yide as an outsider.

Zhang Fei came over in a few steps and glared at Li Mengxi, "Xiao Meng, if you are short of money again, just tell me. Why do you need to meet me, Lao Zhang?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Li Mengxi on the shoulder.

This guy's hand was so strong that he slapped Li Mengxi's shoulder so hard that his arm went numb.

Zhang Fei went to get the money and came back soon.

Zhang Fei came back with several strings of copper coins hanging around his neck and two strings in each hand, looking like a rich man.

When he came, Zhang Fei threw the money in his hand directly to Li Mengxi.

The copper coin was extremely heavy. Li Mengxi tried to catch it, but he couldn't catch it. The coin fell to the ground.

Zhang Fei glanced at Li Mengxi with disgust.

"Bu! Come and get the money for me!"

Li Mengxi called for help.

Bu heard this and hurriedly ran over.

Without looking at it, Qian Zhangfei threw the money in his hand to the military doctor who came over. After throwing away the money in his hand, he took off the money string hanging from his neck and threw it to the fortune teller.

Zhang Fei didn't care at all about the dozen or so coins, Bu could hardly hold them anymore.

The money is probably enough.

Li Mengxi's face showed joy, "Let's buy all the medicinal materials soon!"

Bu heard this and said seriously, "I'll buy it right away!"

As soon as he came back and had only rested for a while, Li Mengxi persuaded Bu to take a rest, but he didn't listen no matter what he said and just took the money and left.

I've been there once and I know where the medicine store is, so I don't need anyone to show me the way.

After divination left, Liu, Guan, and Zhang saw that there was no one in the pavilion, and then returned to the pavilion.

Li Mengxi didn't notice this.

Li Mengxi invited Bu to rest under the pavilion. Liu Bei saw Bu there and knew that if he went back, Bu would be cautious.

Therefore, I would rather stand outside than return to the pavilion.

Li Mengxi could not detect this subtlety.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang actually knew some knowledge about medicinal materials. They put the divination bags in large and small bags on the stone table. Liu Bei opened them and looked at them, and recognized some of them.

"This is licorice, this... thatch?" Liu Bei took some white dry grass root-like things, picked up one and put it in his mouth and chewed it twice. When he tasted the right taste, he gave Li Mengxi a few sticks and also gave them to Li Mengxi.

Xiao Brick was sweating all over from running.

Li Mengxi was no stranger to thatch. When he was a child, he would sometimes go to the fields to play after school. He could find some thatch at the edge of the field, commonly known as thatch root. In other words, the most useful part of this Chinese medicinal material is the root.

The roots of thatch taste sweet, and Li Mengxi might be able to recognize the live thatch roots growing on the ground with his vague impression, but he cannot recognize the dried thatch roots at all.

Put the thatch root into your mouth and chew it twice. It is indeed thatch and has a slightly sweet taste.

Without paying attention for a moment, Li Mengxi chewed a piece of licorice root and spit it out. When he looked at his brother again, he found that he had not vomited. The child had eaten a piece of licorice root in his stomach.

Li Mengxi couldn't stop him and looked at his silly brother, feeling a little distressed.

"Brother, it's so sweet!" The younger brother noticed that Li Mengxi was looking at him. The younger brother bit the thatch root and his eyes turned into crescents.

——

Half an hour later, as it was approaching noon and the sun was shining, Bu came back. This time, he bought a lot more medicine, which was too much for one person to carry. Two clerks from another pharmacy helped to deliver the medicine.

Li Mengxi didn't wait for Liu Bei to remind him, so he went up to greet Bu. At the same time, he was polite to the drugstore clerk and said he would have a cup of tea before leaving.

This statement is extremely hypocritical. Although tea existed in the Han Dynasty, drinking tea was not popular. It was popular to replace tea with wine. If you say it is okay to drink two glasses of water and wine, but drink tea, everyone is confused.

Already.

Two guys, put down the medicine and leave.

Li Mengxi asked Bu, who was running and covered in sweat, "Have you bought all the medicine?"

"It's all together." With that said, Bu took the remaining dozens of coins from his arms and gave them to Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi originally wanted to say, you can just keep it, but after thinking about it, according to the rules of the workplace in his previous life, there was no way for the purchasing personnel to keep the final payment for themselves.

Gotta give it to finance.

Finance is Zhang Fei.

Li Mengxi gave the remaining money to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei didn't answer, waved his big hand and smiled, "Take it and buy some candies!"

Li Mengxi doesn't want it.

"Hey, are there any sugar sellers here?" Li Mengxi suddenly remembered, was there sucrose in the Han Dynasty? Or, was it sugar syrup, that is, maltose.

Li Mengxi, who was curious about this, asked what sugar was.

Liu Guanzhang was surprised. He was surprised that Li Mengxi didn't even know what sugar was.

This is considered to be true. Although he is an expert practicing in the mountains, he does not eat the fireworks of the world.

During subsequent inquiries by Li Mengxi, it was confirmed that the sugar referred to maltose.

Looking at his brother who was drooling, Li Mengxi thought for a moment, took away two cents, and decided to go to the county town soon to buy candies for his brother.

Let's talk about divination. After buying all the medicine, Li Mengxi called divination to come into the pavilion and rest for a while.

Because Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all sitting in the pavilion, Bu refused to go over. He only said to put the medicine somewhere.

Li Mengxi really thought that Bu would be in a hurry to arrange and dispose of the medicine.

"Then, let me help." Li Mengxi said.

——

When Bu was about to put the herbs away, Li Mengxi asked casually, "Where to put the herbs? How did you prevent moisture and insects? Did you use lime?"

When Li Mengxi asked this question, Bu stopped.

"What's wrong?" Li Mengxi asked.

He wants to speak but stops talking, and wants to make things. "I live in a shack, sharing a bunk with others, and there is no place to put medicine."

Li Mengxi remembered that before the divination, he was still a refugee and lived together with other refugees.

"That's it." Li Mengxi nodded suddenly, "I'll help you make arrangements."

Li Mengxi then went back and told Liu Bei that he should get a room anyway.
