The Medicine Seller had been wary of canned goods ever since he'd first encountered them. Oh certainly, it was a good way of preserving food, but he'd also seen the factories they came from and their standards of cleanliness.

He had no qualms about dried foods though, and added two sacks of dried beans and rice, along with flour, cooking oil, vinegar, salt, molasses and spices to their stash of goods, contributing the last of his funds to their supplies.

There was more than enough to live off of for quite some time; certainly long enough for the Medicine Seller to replenish his diminished stock of medicine.

"Where shall we go?" he asked, once they had packed the goods away. They still had a good couple hours of daylight left, and while the visit to the city was a bit of a novelty, he doubted Arthur would want to push his luck.
