Chapter 30: Concoction

"From here, to that side." Steward Cheng compared, "Clear the reeds and silt, how can there be ten acres." ”

Steward Cheng was not wrong, Wu Xia Zhi ran around quickly, and said excitedly: "A lot of black and watery land that looks like puddles is actually mud, build a house, there can be five old mansions, and the rest can be used as yards." ”

"Third brother, how much do you think this land can be taken down?" Wu Nuandong asked Wu Qiuzhi quietly. Wu Qiuzhi calculated, "According to the five acres of the official record, it should cost twenty to thirty taels." ”

"So expensive?" Wu Nuandong shouted in surprise. How many acres of wasteland do you need? It's so tricky!

"Don't worry, it won't be expensive!" Steward Cheng shook his head and said with confidence: "This land can be bargained, don't talk then, listen to me, and make sure to leave the money for your house." ”

Wu Nuandong touched her chest, the astragalus in the Jade Mansion has already grown, and when she succeeds in concocting it, I don't know if she can sell it at a high price? If you sell the silver, you will have a surplus on both sides. Lingzhi's words are afraid that they will be too dazzling to take out, so I still have to think of a rhetoric or something.

"Brother Xingzhou, let's leave a message in the town tomorrow!" Piggybackers can go to pharmacies to explore the market.

"Okay!" Wu Xingzhou has this intention. Several children avoided talking about their families' tacit understanding, but they were afraid that the uneasiness hidden in their hearts would be exposed. After all, there are chasing soldiers in front of them and beasts in the back, and several adults of the martial arts family are all in high fever, and no one can say whether they will be in danger. If you don't talk, you will at least be confident that they will be okay and that the whole family will be reunited safe and sound.

In the afternoon, Steward Cheng first said hello to the village chief of Gaomen Village, saying that the distant relatives of the Cheng family wanted to buy a house and land, and immediately dispelled the village chief's attempt to get rid of the remote and rotten land in the village, and made an appointment to return from the town the next day to choose a land together.

Wu Nuandong returned to Cheng's house and explained to Wu Xingzhou before returning to the room, fastening the door, entering the Jade Mansion and going straight to the herbal medicine field.

Astragalus accounted for most of the fields, and a small number of scattered herbs were all prepared by Wu Nuandong. The processing of herbal medicines can be divided into net preparation, cutting preparation, heat processing and excipient processing, which can affect the efficacy.

At present, Wu Nuandong is poor and has no accessories to add, so he quietly took some liquor and wild honey from the kitchen with Cheng Zijing, and borrowed a clean new spatula for temporary use. First, the impurities of the astragalus are removed, the size is separated and washed, then moistened thoroughly, cut into thick slices, and spread in the small yard in front of the wooden house to dry. In the drying effort, the other herbs are processed one by one, and when the astragalus is dry, the processed herbs are also laid out to dry.

Honey is fried, add astragalus slices and a little Lingquan water, stir evenly, fry until yellow and not sticky after a little simmering, take it out and let it cool.

Because there is not much wild honey, there is not much of this honey astragalus, and the rest is stir-fried with white wine, and fried until it is light yellow.

Wu Nuandong didn't leave the house at dinner time, Cheng Zijing reluctantly conveyed the words, and ate with a bowl of Wenwen's weak mouthful. Nuan Nuan doesn't dislike the slave family is too ugly, so she doesn't want to eat, where can you find a child born to his wife in the future...... Cheng Zijing read it, and tears fell.

"Ouch! The little master of the old slave, why are you crying! Steward Cheng stood behind and asked distressedly, and took out the Jinpa to wipe the corners of the young master's eyes.

The samurai brothers put down their chopsticks and looked up in surprise. The host's family doesn't eat, so how can they eat steadily.

The three brothers really had never seen such a crying man, they were all frowning, and they didn't want to borrow the Cheng family. But the facts are pressing, the host insists on keeping the guests, and their money really needs to be wasted as little as possible.

"Am I ugly? Ugly enough to make people unable to eat? Cheng Zijing was miserable in his heart, he really had bitter words, and he couldn't swallow the aggrieved food.

Wu Xia Zhi was dumbfounded, "What's the use of you being a good old man?" ”

Wu Qiuzhi also felt strange, "As the saying goes: a gentleman, a high wind and a bright festival!" How can you judge people by their appearance?"

"You don't kill yourself so often because you're ugly, do you?" Wu Xingzhou pointed out the truth of the matter, and asked a rhetorical question in disbelief.

At this time, even Steward Cheng's eyes became weird, although his young master was not as good-looking as Pan An, he was also a little man who stood up to the sky, how could he be entangled in such nonsense.

Cheng Zijing bit his lower lip and refused to say more. He had already learned about the 'crossing' from Wu Nuandong, and knew that if anyone knew about this kind of chaos and heresy, he would be tied to a stake and burned to death. It is also because of this that Cheng Zijing cares extra about Wu Nuandong, in addition to the fledgling plot, but also because Wu Nuandong will not look at him with strange eyes after knowing his secret, let alone feel that he is possessed by a monster.

"What are men afraid of when they look ugly, as long as they can make money with their hands and feet, they will love their wives in the future, and they will naturally live happily." Wu Qiuzhi thought of his mother's alluring appearance, although his father is not ugly, but just looking at his appearance is really not worthy of his mother, but his father loves his mother and is dedicated, and the two of them are deeply affectionate and envious of others. Wu Qiuzhi still remembers that once the second brother was sick and feverish, and his mother was not feeling well, and his father was so anxious that he couldn't care about anything and went to the town's hospital with his mother barefoot and back, but only after his mother was okay did he remember that his second brother was sick and grabbed some medicine and went back, and his mother was fine, but the soles of his feet were thick and he didn't get out of bed for two days. It's clear which is behind at a glance.

"Is this really the case? Ugly will also have a wife? Cheng Zijing asked timidly, doesn't a woman pay the most attention to a man's appearance?

"If you don't believe it, go ask Nuan Nuan, see if Nuan Nuan doesn't care about a man's appearance!" Wu Xia Zhi said quickly, provoking Wu Qiu to give him a blank look. Wu Qiuzhi always felt that Cheng Zijing had bad intentions towards his family Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan was still so young, don't be deceived by this sissy.

Cheng Zijing's eyes lit up and nodded earnestly, "I will make a lot of money for Nuan Nuan in the future!" "Let Nuan Nuan give me a doll! Fortunately, Cheng Zijing is rare and smart if he gives birth to a baby, otherwise the three brothers of the martial family would immediately strangle him to prevent future troubles, and dare to fight Nuan Nuan's idea, it depends on whether the old martial arts masters agree or not!

Wu Xia Zhi thought of being able to eat, and smiled decisively, "That's right...... Well? How does it sound so awkward! He touched his head, not quite understanding the deep meaning of Cheng Zijing's words, picked up the chopsticks and ate happily.

Wu Qiuzhi didn't understand much, but frowned and became more and more vigilant against Cheng Zijing.

Wu Xingzhou came to his senses, squinted at Cheng Zijing's disdainful cold snort, looking at Nuan Nuan's attitude, it was absolutely impossible to find a man who would cry more than her, he bet with the hare in Xiaoshan, if his family Nuan Nuan could see Cheng Zijing, he swallowed the rabbit whole!

Steward Cheng now knows why the young master is in a mood, it turns out that he has taken a fancy to other people's little girls, but that little girl doesn't talk much, but she has a lot of eyes, and her big eyes are an idea, and she looks very happy at a young age.

Wu Nuandong didn't know that she had risen to the type of beauty in Steward Cheng's heart, and the type of young master of his family could not be withstanding, if she knew it, she would definitely slap and applaud, and praised him for his old man's vision, she and Cheng Zijing are at most sisters, husband and wife or something, let's talk about it in the next life!
