Chapter 32 Buying Yam Herbs
The young man was gentle and slender, and under the afterglow, his body was filled with soft light.
Shang Zhi accelerated his pace and walked to his side a few steps, looking at his gentle face, with the corners of his mouth curled up, "Why did you come back suddenly? Get something? Can the academy still adapt to it?"
Xue Shenzhi had already heard about the dispute between Shang Zhi and Xu, but he was the one who benefited from it in the end. His emotions were hard to describe for a moment. Looking at the smile on her lips, his ups and downs gradually calmed down.
He answered her questions seriously and patiently, "I'm not busy today, I'll just start teaching tomorrow, so I'll come back when I have nothing to do. The academy is still acceptable, and the classmates in the house are very friendly."
Shang Zhi nodded and walked into the house, "You haven't had dinner yet? I'll cook first."
Xue Shenzhi said: "I'll cook today."
Shang Zhi stood at the kitchen door and pushed him into the main hall, "Gentleman stayed away from the kitchen. Your hand holds a pen, so leave the affairs in the kitchen to me." He doesn't cook on weekdays, so he probably doesn't have the ability to cook. She doesn't want to torture her stomach.
Xue Shenzhi had no choice but to roll up his sleeves, clean the room, fill the tank of water at the door, and sit in the yard to chop firewood.
Shang Zhi saw it in the kitchen, but he didn't stop him. He was weak and doing something appropriately could strengthen his body.
The rice is gone, and there are only sweet potatoes and wheat at home. She happened to buy noodles in the town a few days ago, so she simply put two bowls of noodles.
The noodles were very rich. I fryed a golden egg, cooked the bacon and sliced it. A few green vegetables were spread on the noodles, which made people's appetites increase greatly.
The eggs were given to her by the wife of the Chief Chen clan, and all the eggs they bought before were boiled and brought to Xue Shenzhi to a private school.
She pushed the egg to Xue Shenzhi. Xue Shenzhi pursed her lips and put the egg in her bowl. Shangzhi chopsticks blocked her, "You spend your brain on studying and eat more nutritious food to nourish your body. Besides, you have a few days left in a private school, and the food there is no more food than at home. I have gone to eat and drink at home, so I don't care about this or two meals."
Xue Shenzhi silently divided the egg into two halves, one person and half.
Seeing that he was very stubborn, Shang Zhi did not postpone it, but just pulled half of the croquette pork chop in his bowl.
After the two of them had supper, Xue Shenzhi spoke, "Xu..."
Shang Zhi narrowed his eyes and immediately understood his purpose of coming back suddenly today.
"Xu bullies the weak and fears the strong, I can deal with her." After a pause, Shang Zhi thought, "You don't need to think too much. I just don't want her to disturb you from studying. I also have selfish intentions. I'm not helping you for nothing. I'm just waiting for you to be on the list of gold and support me, leave this poor and bad land, wear gold and silver, and don't worry about food and drink."
Xue Shenzhi looked at her clear eyes, and the light of yearning for the future flashed in it, and her heart surged. If she was greedy for wealth as she said, she would not refuse the 20% bonus of the restaurant. She did not want him to feel guilty.
The more she did this, the more uncomfortable Xue Shenzhi felt and was so frustrated.
Shang Zhi felt the atmosphere suddenly became dull, so she changed the topic, "I went to the mountains to collect herbs today and found a ginseng plant, which is about seventy or eighty years old. What's bad is that I met a poisonous snake, which was slaughtered by me, but unfortunately I didn't take the snake gall."
She said lightly, and her words and smiled, but Xue Shenzhi was shocked. She could almost imagine the danger. His face darkened, "Are you injured? The snake just came out of the hole at this time and is extremely toxic. Don't go up the mountain alone. If you want to go, wait for me to come back and go with you."
Shang Zhi shook his head, "I was not injured. I'm careless this time. Next time, I'm more cautious and don't go deep into the mountains."
"No next time!" Xue Shenzhi was rarely tough. He tightened his five fingers, not daring to think about what if she was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake?
Shang Zhi's smile faded. He realized that his tone was wrong. He slowed down his tone, and his voice was still a little tight. "The dangers on the mountain, you should pay more attention to your own safety."
Shang Zhi knew it was she who picked ginseng and alarmed the poisonous snake before attacking her.
He also knew that Xue Shenzhi was worried about her and stopped her from going up the mountain. She could be perfunctory and wait for him to go up the mountain after leaving Xinghua Village, but she didn't want to lie to him, but he seemed to have no room for negotiation and was a little bit energetic.
Not to mention that her current situation is too difficult, she may not be able to buy some medicinal materials in the medicine shop.
"Let's talk about it." Shang Zhi stood up to clean up the dishes and ended the conversation.
Xue Shenzhi saw Shang Zhi's displeasure, looked at her busy figure in the kitchen, and sighed, knowing that she was an independent person and that the things she believed could not be shaken by.
After washing the dishes, Shang Zhi wiped his hands clean and came out. Seeing Xue Shenzhi still sitting in the same place, he was slightly stunned.
She pulled open the bench and sat opposite him, "I have sixteen taels of silver in my hand, and I started to save up and open a clinic. Later, I thought about it and wanted to buy a mountain and plant herbs." At that time, she would have to hire her neighbors, not to worry that anyone would harm the medicine field.
More importantly, what Xu did today, she was worried that the money would cause trouble and was stolen by others. It would be better to scatter out to buy mountain herbs, which is also considered an investment. Good luck would give you greater returns.
Shang Zhi took the initiative to speak, and Xue Shenzhi felt a little relieved, "I ask my cousin to ask Li Zheng."
"good."
Shang Zhi understood what Xue Shenzhi meant. She had a grudge with He Liangguang. If she bought mountain land, she would not tell her if she encountered obstacles. She was afraid that he would deliberately make things difficult for him to raise the price.
Xue Shenzhi was going to talk to her about going up the mountain to collect herbs. He was probably in the academy and would not be able to help her.
I just thought of a compromise method. Chen Yuan is a hunter in Xinghua Village and has rich experience in the mountains. If he brought Shangzhi with him while hunting and had a look after him, there was no need to worry about her being in danger.
"you……"
Knock--
The door panel was knocked, and Chen Yuan's voice sounded, "Shang Zhi, are you at home?"
Shang Zhi quickly got up and opened the door. Chen Yuanhan stood at the door with relish.
"Brother Chen, is there anything wrong?"
"I went up the mountain today, caught a snake, and took the snake gall to send it to you." Chen Yuan handed her the tung leaves wrapped in the snake gall.
Shang Zhi said happily: "Thank you, Brother Chen, please wait, I will give you money."
"No, no need. It's useless for me to keep the snake gall. If you don't mind, give me a bowl of water to drink." Chen Yuan thought for a long time, squeezed out this sentence, and his dark face turned red.
"Brother Chen specially sent snake gall to Shangzhi, so a bowl of water would be fine." Xue Shenzhi handed it to Chen Yuan with a bamboo tube.
