…
boom!
Ning Zhifeng knocked open the door of the room.
Ji Jin just raised his eyelids and didn't hear any movement from Mei Xiang. He knew that no bad guy had broken in, so he continued to read the account books.
The three members of the Ning Zhang family frowned when they saw Ning Zhifeng barging in. However, after Ning Zhifeng came in, he bowed to everyone and apologized, and then walked forward tiptoe. It didn't look like he was here to cause trouble. , and did not blame him out loud.
I just felt sorry for Shen Youchu.
In the dream, I was eating delicious food with Mr. Ning, riding in a small boat and admiring lotus flowers.
Suddenly, a big fish monster emerged from under the boat and knocked her directly into the lake.
boom.
Shen Youchu's head slipped from his arm to the table, and his forehead hit the table with a muffled sound.
She rubbed her forehead and was still a little confused. When she looked up and saw an enlarged face, she was so frightened that she almost sat down on the ground.
"Sister Shen..."
Ning Zhifeng called out in a low voice.
She originally planned to break in, go straight to the point and ask what Fifth Brother was looking for.
But when she came in, she found that everyone was busy working. Although she didn't know what they were busy with, she also understood that she shouldn't make a loud noise.
"Sister Zhifeng, are you here to play with Mr. Ning?"
Shen Youchu yawned, stretched and looked around the room. When she couldn't find anyone, her eyes suddenly widened.
Huh?
Where is Mr. Ning?
"Fifth brother is cooking breakfast for you in the kitchen."
Ning Zhifengguang knew what Shen Youchu was thinking just by looking at her face.
Because of this, after being in contact for a long time, Ning Zhifeng no longer pretended to be a lady in front of Shen Youchu.
She directly hugged Shen Youchu's arm and asked coquettishly: "Sister Shen, what herbs are you looking for for Fifth Brother?"
"An herb called tobacco..."
Shen Youchu yawned and without thinking, told Ning Zhifeng about the tobacco situation that Ning Wushan had described yesterday.
Seeing that Ning Zhifeng was mumbling words, as if he was reciting them, she suddenly became more awake.
"Sister Zhifeng, are you planning to help Mr. Ning find herbs together?"
In line with the principle that one more person will bring more strength, and at the same time, Ning Zhifeng can learn more things. Shen Youchu pulled out his arm, gently rubbed Ning Zhifeng's head, and gestured to the room full of people. Zi's account book.
"Sister Zhifeng, if you want to help, you can just find a bunch of account books and look through them..."
When Ning Zhifeng heard this, he hurriedly avoided it, took a step back, and made a face like Shen Youchu's usual appearance.
"I don't want to look at these account books that are painful to the eyes and headache. I want Zhaodi to take me to the mountains to look for them. She is the best at finding herbs. There are no herbs that she can't find in this mountain."
Finished.
Ning Zhifeng ran away like a gust of wind.
Shen Youchu's hand hovered in the air. After taking it back, she held her chin in her hand. Just as she was about to doze off, she caught sight of three more people who had appeared out of the corner of her eye. She shivered and suddenly felt no longer sleepy.
Alas alas.
When did Sister Zhixue, Sister Zhixia and Second Aunt come?
Why didn't anyone wake her up?
Those who didn't know better thought she was being lazy.
"Even Zhifeng knows how to mobilize her friends to find tobacco in the mountains. I can't lag behind."
Shen Youchu rubbed his face vigorously to cheer himself up.
Looking through the account books, I was suddenly dazzled.
so hard.
Looking at the account books in the room, which seemed to have not been reduced at all, Shen Youchu pursed his lips and almost cried.
It seems that it is impossible to rely on her ability.
She clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly in the direction of Hanshan Temple.
"By the gods and Buddhas, let Mr. Ning find the whereabouts of the tobacco today. Anyone can help him find it. The female believer is willing to give up the opportunity to travel with Mr. Ning during the Qiqiao Festival."
After Shen Youchu bowed, he closed the account book, held his cheeks in his hands, moved his eyes left and right, and continued to squint, preparing to fall asleep.
When Ning Wuchang prepared the meal and carried the food box into the house.
Then he saw that Shen Youchu changed from the chicken pecking rice look when he left to the look of holding his cheeks in both hands.
But no matter which position it is, it is a sleeping position.
He didn't wake up Shen Youchu. He put the food box next to him and whispered to everyone to eat. Then he picked up the account book he had not finished reading and continued to look through it.
"Everything is fine. I just found out that Feng came here and asked you about looking for tobacco. She said that she would mobilize her friends to go to the mountains to look for tobacco. Will anything happen?"
Mrs. Ning Zhang was worried when she thought of the children who used to go to the mountains to collect herbs and were always bitten by snakes and insects.
What's more, there are wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains.
Ning Wuyan didn't expect Ning Zhifeng to be so serious. Not only did he come here specially to ask, but he also publicized the matter everywhere.
There is quite a sense of inevitable victory.
"Let her go. The guards following her are all Lianjiazi. It'll be fine."
Ning Zhifeng has been in Zhangjiazhuang for so many days, and he may have visited several nearby hills.
Coupled with the Ning family's large-scale purchase of mountainous land to open up wasteland, those wild animals have to migrate to uninhabited places to survive.
The most important thing is that there are local friends to lead the way, so the risk factor is not high.
…
on the hill.
Ning Zhifeng carried two large cloth bags on his shoulders, containing a bunch of bulging meat buns, and placed them on the clean rocks.
These two large cloth bags weighed thirty or forty kilograms in total.
The female guard Chu Lan, who was two heads taller than Ning Zhifeng, originally wanted to help, but seeing the effortless look of her young lady, she had no chance to help other than admiring that this was a tiger girl from a general.
"Friends, we have a very difficult task today."
Ning Zhifeng told the dozen friends gathered by Zhang Zhaodi about their goals for the day.
"Looking for tobacco, tobacco with the same green leaves that are as pungent as the ones you picked before."
Ning Zhifeng gestured to the hilltop where silver elixir grass was sown.
"Last year, a large area was planted there, but then it died of disease. Maybe the seeds drifted to other places and new tobacco grew."
"As soon as you find it, pull it out and bring it to me, a tobacco plant, in exchange for a meat bun!"
After Ning Zhifeng finished speaking, he opened a cloth bag and distributed a meat bun to each person.
The meat buns made by Zhangjiazhuang Kitchen are for wealthy ladies like Shen Youchu and Ji Jin.
It is different from the thick skin and less stuffing sold in bun shops.
Not only do they have thin skin but thick fillings, the fillings inside don’t have a single flavor either.
A dozen children shared with each other the different flavors they had eaten. Most of them were eating buns with this kind of filling for the first time in their lives. Because of the precious spices from the Western Regions inside, they wanted to devour them with their tongues. in stomach.
When you eat a meat bun, your fighting spirit will naturally be high.
"Quickly find that tobacco with pink flowers."
"I remember that after climbing two mountains, there was a forest with many wild grasses with small pink flowers. I don't know if that was the case."
"No matter what, if you carry a basket on your back, if you can't find tobacco, you can dig some wild vegetables home and fry them for your mother."
A team of about a dozen children put on straw sandals and straw hats, took out fire sticks for frightening snakes, and braved the scorching sun climbing up the hillside to climb toward the top of the mountain.
