“That’s right, we eat the stem in this lu qiao. The stem has the effect of replenishing and nourishing blood. After peeling the outer layer, and adding some sesame oil, salt, and vinegar, the stem inside will become crisp and tender. I won’t trade it even with ginseng.”

When Zhao Sue saw her like this, she couldn’t help but feel happy: “Then, let’s go back and do it quickly. I’ll try it today. I wanted to know how good it is that you will not even trade it for ginseng.”

A small piece of Baidu was planted in the innermost part of the medicinal field. Bai Zhi pointed her finger to the Baidu who hadn’t yet grown-up: “If this thing grew up, it will be made into a large supplementary medicinal diet. The old men in the town will have to spend a lot of money just to have this.”

Zhao Sue was puzzled: “What is this Baidu? What magical effect does it have?”

Bai Zhi smiled mysteriously: “I’ll pass answering that question. When it grows up, I will you and Awu for it to try. By then, you will naturally know its magical effect.”

Zhao Sue was not an innocent person. Although Bai Zhi didn’t say it clearly, her meaning was very clear. When she heard those words, her face and ears turned red, she looked at Bai Zhi shyly and said: “Zhi’er, you can’t go out and say this kind of words. People will make fun of you.”

Bai Zhi cut her words with a hum: “Make fun of me? Am I Bai Zhi afraid of people making fun of me? I am trying to make money and I am just telling truth. What is there to make fun of?”

When the two returned, the carriage was not in the courtyard. Zhou Awu and Zhou Gang were not around. Only Hu Changlin and Ru’er were playing in the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Zhi and Zhao Sue came back, Hu Changlin rushed forward: “Zhi’er, it’s good you came back, your mother is worried sick about you.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said, “Hu Bo, I’m fine. I just helped Bai Caotang to send some medicine to the military camp. I met an old doctor there. He saw that I had a good understanding of medicine, so he let me stay for a few days. I went to find Hu Feng. He is good. He told me to tell you that you don’t need to worry about him. As long as they’re not busy in the military camp, he will come back.”

Hu Changlin can’t close his mouth from smiling after hearing those words. The people he believed in this world the most were Hu Feng and Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi said that he was okay, so he must be fine. Bai Zhi was his future daughter-in-law.

“It’s fine, it’s fine if he’s okay!”

Bai Zhi smiled and raised the basket in her hand: “Hu Bo, I picked some fresh medicinal herbs. I will make you a medicine meal later.”

Ru’er pulled Bai Zhi’s clothes and said: “Sister Bai, what about my present?”

Bai Zhi froze, present? When did she say she was going to bring her present?

Zhao Sue busily said: “That is, after you left that day, Ru’er was so noisy and looking for you. To coax her, we said that you go out to do things. When you come back, you will bring her a gift. I asked Awu to go to the town and buy her a present. ”

It turned out to be like that, Bai Zhi touched Ru’er’s head: “I don’t have a present for you right now, but tomorrow I can bring one. Ru’er is good. Eat well and sleep well today. Tomorrow, I will your present, alright?”

Ru’er clapped her hands happily and jumped up high: “Yippie! Yippie! I want tomorrow comes!”

After coaxing Ru’er, Bai Zhi and Zhao Sue went to the kitchen to cook. The kitchen was carefully designed by Bai Zhi. Although there were no modern exquisite materials, the layout was pretty similar, the functional area was there. There was also clear ‘tap water’ from the top. Washing vegetables and dishes became easy and save them a lot of time.

Zhao Sue smiled and asked: “Where did you learn these ideas? The kitchen, as well as the bathroom and the cottage, are wonderful. I have never seen them before.”
