Chapter 371 Entering the Mountain
Chapter 371 Entering the Mountain
Before dawn the next day, Chu Nanyue took Jiang Yan and Sizhu to the mountain. When passing through Yaowang Valley, she specially took the pancakes she had prepared early in the morning to the housekeeper.
"Uncle, this is the pancake I made for you early in the morning. It's still hot. Come and have a try."
The housekeeper still looked like he was keeping people at a distance, but considering Chu Nanyue's cooking skills last time, he took it and tasted it. After just one bite, he couldn't help but praise: "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and sticky, and crispy. You are really good at cooking, little girl!"
While he was eating the pancake with a clear conscience, he attacked mercilessly: "But it's useless. I can't influence our Valley Master!"
Chu Nanyue smiled and replied: "No need for you to stay around, just let me know when he comes back, and I will figure out a solution myself."
The housekeeper replied: "There are countless people who want to see our Valley Master every day. It's not as simple as you think."
Chu Nanyue thought and laughed: "Why don't you say a few good words for me, uncle?"
How could the housekeeper's words not work?
The housekeeper laughed: "Little girl, you are still begging me in a roundabout way."
Chu Nanyue did not deny it and smiled brightly: "Uncle, although I have absolute confidence that your Valley Master can heal my family, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so I still have to rely on you. Don't worry, whether you help me or not, I will treat you as my own uncle, and I will bring you delicious food whenever I have time."
She said it with full sincerity, which moved the housekeeper's heart: "You are a very likable little girl, and you are comparable to our young lady..." After a pause, the eyes that were smiling just now quickly dimmed, and he sighed heavily, "Are you going into the mountains?"
Chu Nanyue didn’t know what was wrong with their young lady, but she didn’t want to ask, so she nodded.
Since the mention of their young lady, the steward's mood has obviously become unhappy. He sighed again and pointed to a high mountain in the distance and said, "Our valley master went there to collect herbs before. If you are good at it, you may want to go there and take a look."
After saying this, he turned around and returned to the valley.
"Thank you, uncle!" Chu Nanyue shouted, and then muttered softly, "You are really a person with a cold face but a warm heart."
Afterwards, Chu Nanyue took Jiang Yan and Sizhu and ran towards the mountain that the housekeeper pointed to.
The mountain road was rugged and covered with thorns. These were no problem for the skilled Jiang Yan and Si Zhu, but it was not easy for Chu Nanyue. Fortunately, they helped her along the way, so it was okay.
As the sun rises, the fog in the mountains gradually dissipates, revealing the original appearance of the forest. Although it is not lush and green, it is full of young branches and spring.
Chu Nanyue was a little excited. After all, this was the place where the miracle doctor had appeared. Maybe they could dig up some rare medicinal herbs on this trip.
"Princess, there are a lot of bean sprouts here that you dug last time. Don't we dig them up?" Sizhu couldn't help but ask as she looked at the large area of bean sprouts in front of her.
"Bean digging sticks? That doesn't exist!" Chu Nanyue glanced at it with disgust on her face.
She doesn't want to climb thousands of miles to dig for wild vegetables that can't be sold for much money. She is here to hunt for treasure!
But the next moment, when he heard Sizhu ask, "Should we dig the Bupleurum?" he immediately lowered his standards and said, "We have to dig this one, get started!"
Although there are countless treasures hidden in the mountains, what if they are all empty? Therefore, even if the medicinal herbs in front of you are not valuable, you still have to dig them.
The three of them divided the work between them. Jiang Yan and Sizhu were responsible for mechanical excavation, while Chu Nanyue was responsible for searching, identifying and sorting. She taught the two how to excavate while sorting and putting away the excavated medicinal materials.
Before they knew it, all three of them were sweating.
Sizhu asked, "Princess, how much can we sell these herbs we dug for?"
Chu Nanyue estimated and held up two fingers: "It can be two taels of silver."
Jiang Yan was full of disappointment: "After digging so much, only two taels of silver?"
Chu Nanyue replied in a neutral tone: "Of course it can't be compared with the dress you bought for your prince!"
For every master there are servants?
I have fallen into such a miserable state. If my master dares to give me one hundred taels of silver, I will really spend so much!
She didn't take it seriously yesterday, but things are different now. The bastard actually drove her out of the house. This matter is not over yet!
If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your breath.
Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know, but regarding this matter, the dog man must tell her the truth!
She didn't care whether he was willing or not. After she came back from digging wild vegetables, she would find him and ask him clearly!
Bah, why dig wild vegetables? She is not the love-brained Wang Baochuan!
She is Chu Nanyue, the uncompromising herb digger!
Sizhu also rarely replied: "That's right!"
In the past, she had no interest in money because she had no need for it. The palace had provided her with everything, and they were all top-notch.
She still has no feelings about money now, because it is not her turn to make money, the princess is responsible for it all. But she has seen the princess's hardships, and she racks her brains every day to think about how to make money, while Xiaotao thinks about how to save money.
If they don't squander the two taels of silver, it will be enough for their family to eat for several days.
And they have only dug for an incense stick of time, and they have already dug a lot, right? !
Jiang Yan was choked by the two men and replied dryly, "I'll dig faster." Then he started to work harder.
His prince somehow irritated his princess, so the princess made fun of them.
When Leng Jiu smiled and sent them out in the morning, his princess said sarcastically, "Leng Jiu, the corners of your mouth are cracked all the way to your chin. Are you so happy to see us leave?"
Hey, it's because he and Leng Jiu are their prince's two generals.
However, he was wrong to work too fast, because his princess said, "Jiang Yan, take it easy, you will have to work hard later!"
Sizhu immediately responded, "That's right!"
He wanted to cry but had no tears: "Yes, Princess, I will follow the rhythm of the silk and bamboo."
Anyway, his princess has already assigned him to his prince for a while, so whatever he does will be wrong. It shouldn't be wrong for him to follow Sizhu, right?
But it’s still not right!
His princess exclaimed, "What? Lotus flowers? There are lotus flowers here! Jiang Yan, stop standing behind Sizhu, climb up and pick them, they are valuable!"
He quickly raised his eyes and followed his princess's gaze.
"It's a circle of cylindrical, slender plants with rhizomes surrounding that big tree. Do you see it? Go quickly, but be careful not to damage their rhizomes!"
He looked around the location and found no place to land halfway up the tree, so he took out the flying rope, threw his claws to the top branch of the tree, and climbed up along the rope.
It was not until she saw him hanging in the air picking lotus flowers that Chu Nanyue finally took a liking to him and praised him generously.
"Jiang Yan is so powerful, much more powerful than your weak and incapable dog prince!"
He was frightened and shivered again. Fortunately, his prince was not present at this time, otherwise he would have been whipped again.
Hey, the prince and princess are quarreling, and they, as servants, are like the roujiamo made by their princess, sandwiched on both sides!
Just as Sizhu took out the flying rope, Chu Nanyue's eyes lit up again: "Wow? The place chosen by the miracle doctor is indeed a fairyland. What is this?"
