I deliver food to Wanjie

Chapter 425 441. Help from colleagues 19
Just a dozen meters away from the city gate, there are several streets that appear in front of everyone at the same time.

There are shops on every street, and you can't see the end of it at a glance.

"The provincial capital is indeed much more lively," Luo Meng's eyes lit up. The buildings here are better than those in the county town, and the people here seem much more lively.

"Although the city is large, the network of relationships is also complicated," Zhang Yaowen took them to crowded places, wanting to see if he could get more information.

They were wandering aimlessly, but their luck was good. In just over an hour, they had already figured out the situation in the city.

The prefect has a good reputation here. At least he doesn't bully others and the merchants here are treated fairly.

In this way, if Luo Meng wants to sell something here or do some small business, there should be less trouble.

The most important thing is that the city is close to major transportation routes, and merchants often come here to stay, which also brings great help to the local economy. Many prices are not very high.

"What do you think of this place?" Zhang Yaowen asked Luo Meng. They wanted to settle the people down as soon as possible so that they could do their own things.

"It looks good. I want to go to the medicine shop and ask if they will accept the herbs. I need to be able to pay the rent first."

The place is great, but whether she can survive here depends on her own efforts. Luo Meng is a little worried and nervous.

I have been under the wings of my parents all my life, and I never expected that the change would come so suddenly and so big.

There are several medical clinics in this city. Zhang Yaowen took Luo Meng around and asked about the prices. He found that the doctors here were relatively honest in their business and the prices they charged for medicinal materials did not fluctuate much.

Luo Meng secretly did some calculations for himself. If he sold these herbs, he should have no problem surviving for the first few months.

"Sure enough, no matter what era we live in, seeing a doctor is the most expensive thing. I didn't expect these herbs to be so valuable." Yun Tutu sighed as he walked out of the last pharmacy.

"I used to think that Chinese medicine would be very cheap, and as long as it didn't use those precious herbs, every family could afford it. It seems I was wrong."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is not cheap where we are," Chen Yuxi thought of the time when an elderly person in his family fell ill and Western medicine could not cure him, so he had to seek traditional Chinese medicine. However, traditional Chinese medicine has a slow effect, a long treatment time, and each prescription is not cheap.

"That's because those who speculated in real estate, stock prices, and gold have all gone to speculate in Chinese medicine," Yun Tutu has also read some news. Before, they had been clamoring to promote Chinese medicine and traditional medical skills, but as soon as there was a little improvement here, these people heard the news and all went to raise the price of medicine. They are simply destroying their own livelihood.

"It used to be said that taking Chinese medicine was cheaper than taking Western medicine, but now the price of the same medicine changes every day. I don't know when this chaos will change."

"So no matter what time it is, ordinary people are the ones who suffer the most."

Find a secluded corner and find all the herbs that Luo Meng had picked before.

"They are all fresh, not processed," Luo Meng looked at it with a bit of heartache. If they were processed, the price would be a little higher, but now she had no choice. She urgently needed money to settle down.

She still owed Yuntutu and the others so much that she was too embarrassed to ask for more. She returned to the pharmacy with the medicine in her hand and came out with 20 taels of silver in her hand.

The price is only reached because we have picked a few high-value medicinal herbs.

"Let's rent a house first," Zhang Yaowen said, pointing to a dental clinic not far away, "Go there and ask."

When she heard that they were just renting a small house, the matchmaker called over a young man who looked like a newbie.

However, being a newbie also has its advantages. The other party was attentive and had a good attitude. He took them to see several houses without getting tired of it. Only then did Luo Meng decide.

She rented a small courtyard near the government office, which had only two rooms, but it was enough for her to live in alone. However, the rent was a bit expensive, one or two taels of silver a month, and it had to be paid for half a year at a time. As a result, the silver she had just received was reduced by half again.

Then he went on to buy pots, pans, and other daily necessities. Although these things were small in number, by the time he finished everything, he only had ten taels of silver left in his hand.

"I still have to make money quickly," Luo Meng sighed. It is safe here, but it takes a long way to go into the mountains to collect herbs every day.

"Besides collecting herbs, what else can you do?" Yun Tutu felt that it would be better for her not to go into the mountains before she had mastered her martial arts. It was not a smart idea to do so, and she might as well risk her life there.

"I know a lot of things, such as making paper, cement, and soap..."

"Stop, you can't protect these things as soon as you take them out." Yun Tutu interrupted her quickly. Can she really survive in this world if she is so naive?

"Think of something simpler and inconspicuous."

Yun Tutu's reminder made Luo Meng fall into deep thought. She wanted it to be simple and inconspicuous, so what else could she do?
"I can take care of small animals and make dog food..." Luo Meng's voice became smaller and smaller. At this time, people can't even support themselves, so who would raise animals?
"Can you make pastries or something?"

Luo Meng shook his head. "I'm not good at cooking. I can only cook the food simply. It can't be called delicious."

Yun Tutu was scratching her head. Why was she living alone?

"You can do the laundry, cook, and live on your own, right?" Chen Yuxi looked worried.

"I learned how to wash clothes in Luojia Village, but there seems to be no running water or river here. Where does the water come from?"

Luo Meng then remembered this problem. Before, they only used the water stored in the water tank for cleaning. What should they do after it is used up?

"You should fetch the water yourself, or maybe have someone deliver it to you. And how can you solve the problem of going to the toilet?" Yun Tutu felt that she couldn't say any more. If she continued, Luo Meng would probably lose the courage to live. She looked like she had lost all hope in life.

Luo Meng was really confused. He had just thought that there would be a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and to have a place to stay in this place. Who knew that there would be so many troubles later?
In the past, there was plenty of water in the village, and every household had canals in front of and behind their houses. Although it was hard to describe the toilets, at least they existed.

"You'll get used to it slowly," Chen Yuxi looked at Luo Meng's thin figure and felt a little sorry. Even if she is an adult in her heart, Luo Meng is less than ten years old now. Can she really live alone in the future?
"You really can't take me back. Even if I can't go back to my own world, I can go to your place. I can endure hardship. I will go to work in a factory." All the strings of Luo Meng collapsed at this moment. She thought that she could start a new life by escaping from the village, but who knew that she would face all kinds of difficulties again.
