Nan Feng took the silver and went on another shopping spree in town. This time, she bought a dinner table and four chairs for the house. She gave the remaining silver to Nan Quanyou, instructing him to buy some pork in the morning.
Every morning, there would be people selling pork in the village. If there was silver on hand, there was no need to go hunting in the mountains to get meat.
That evening, Nan Feng was cleaning medicinal herbs in the courtyard while chatting with Nan Quanyou.
"It always makes me anxious when you run off into the mountains, Fengfeng, afraid something bad might happen to you," Nan Quanyou served up a bowl of herbal tea, made by simmering the leigong vine Nan Feng had gathered. It was particularly good for a sore throat, something Nan Feng had been suffering from recently.
