Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tinker Bell

"Steward Yi, this is the Zhuangzi I said." Rong Jingru raised her eyebrows.

Yi Yiran didn't expect that this Zhuangzi was so big, he thought it would be as big as a courtyard at most.

"I wonder how much rent Madame will have to collect at that time?"

"Under normal circumstances, we collect 30% of the rent; In case of special circumstances, we only need to collect 20% of the rent; Of course, if the harvest is really bad, I will think about it again then. Rong Jingru said what she thought in her heart.

Yi Yiran didn't expect that his new master was still a good person.

Rong Jingru is actually not as good as Yi Yiran thought, she just wants the tenants in her Zhuangzi to have enough to eat.

"Steward Yi, you go get busy first, I'll take Qiyan to see where it is suitable for growing herbs?" Rong Jingru waved her hand and let Yi Yiran leave first.

……

There are trees planted all around the village, and when the breeze blows, the cool air comes to her face, making Rong Jingru feel very comfortable.

The craft of growing medicine is not like growing food in a farmer's house, it not only considers the land, but also needs to use more brains.

Moreover, different medicinal materials, when to plant and when to harvest, you have to consider how to raise them halfway, and the most important thing is to be patient.

Ding Qiyan searched for a long time in Zhuangzi, and finally found about five acres of land not far from the pond that could be used to grow herbs.

Rong Jingru was excited when she heard Ding Qiyan's words, she was just hoping before, after all, selling medicinal herbs is sometimes more profitable than selling grain.

Which makes her a cheesy person, since she can grow medicinal herbs, let Rong Jingru see in her eyes that a steady stream of gold is beckoning to her.

"Qiyan, do you know where to buy medicinal herb seeds? When those people are in place, we can start planting medicinal herbs. ”

"Jingru, in order to increase the survival rate of medicinal herbs, I think it's better to ask the tooth shop to see if there are any people who have ever planted medicinal herbs in it." Ding Qiyan proposed.

Rong Jingru felt reasonable, so she decided to let Steward Yi look for it for a while.

"Now that we have found the land that can be used to grow medicinal herbs, we might as well go to that mountain for a walk, maybe we can still pick up some wild things and come back for dinner." Rong Jingru is ready to let herself go completely.

"Wait a minute, I'll find someone to borrow three bamboo baskets or baskets." Ding Qiyan called out to the two.

"You don't want to take the opportunity to dig up some medicinal herbs and go back, do you?"

"How could I let go of such a great opportunity." Ding Qiyan paused, "Maybe we'll be lucky and be able to dig up ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum." ”

"To borrow your auspicious words, I also want to dig up these precious medicinal materials, why don't Qi Yan describe what they look like for the two of us first, otherwise we will meet them for a while, and because we don't know each other, we will miss it." Rong Jingru was also enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Seeing that the two were chatting so happily, Jin Wushuang also leaned her head over, because she also wanted to dig up a fifty or hundred years old ginseng, after all, the rivers and lakes were dangerous, and with such a ginseng, she could keep it for life.

……

Because Ding Qiyan doesn't know martial arts, and Rong Jingru hasn't entered the mountain, the speed of the three of them going up the mountain is not fast.

Unexpectedly, before the three of them had gone far, Ding Qiyan found herbs, which were just ordinary herbs, and she didn't pick them right away, but made a mark on the side, and waited until she came down the mountain to dig them later.

didn't go long ago, Rong Jingru found a lot of mushrooms and fungus, which is a good thing, Rong Jingru hurriedly greeted the two, then squatted down and began to dig up.

"Jingru, do you know these mushrooms? I've heard that some people take mushrooms back and cook them and eat them, and the next day they all go to a nearby medical center. Jin Wushuang looked at Rong Jingru picking there seriously, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"At that time, the doctor said that fortunately, he found it in time, which saved the life of the family; If it was too late, the villagers would have had to help their family collect the body. ”

"Wushuang, those brightly colored mushrooms are generally poisonous, and the brighter the color of the mushroom, the greater the toxicity it has." Rong Jingru patiently explained to Jin Wushuang: "Of course, there are some mushrooms, which don't look poisonous, but when picked, they can easily change color, and this kind of mushroom is often highly poisonous. ”

"Well, I'll pick them too, and I'll go back and make these mushrooms into a dish in a while." Jin Wushuang thought for a moment.

Just when Jin Wushuang and Rong Jingru were picking mushrooms, Ding Qiyan had already begun to pick herbs.

"Then let's pick more and go back, I've heard that the mushroom sauce is very delicious, and I don't know if anyone has made it." Rong Jingru thought of the mushroom sauce, and she couldn't help but swallow saliva in her throat.

"When the time comes, we can bring it back to the General's Mansion, and we can let the cooks inside give it a try, maybe they will do it." Jin Wushuang was also aroused by Rong Jingru at this time.

"If we have time, we can pick more for a while, after all, mushrooms can be eaten as well as dried mushrooms, and they are easy to preserve." Ding Qiyan proposed.

Walking inside, the three of them also found a lot of pheasants and rabbits, but in fact, when they were catching, they still let some pheasants and rabbits take the opportunity to slip away under the noses of a few people.

It was mainly Ding Qiyan and Rong Jingru who alarmed them in the process of arresting.

But it was a nice feeling to catch pheasants and rabbits herself, something she had never tried in her previous life.

Just as Rong Jingru was about to continue walking, something caught her attention.

"Qiyan, come over and take a look, is this the ginseng you described to me before?"

Ding Qiyan followed the sound and walked over and looked in the direction of Rong Jingru's finger, "It's really ginseng, I think it's not shallow." ”

As she spoke, Ding Qiyan had already started to dig carefully.

Rong Jingru and Jin Wucheng stepped forward to help, but she was worried that they hadn't dug it up, and it would be too cost-effective to accidentally hurt its roots for a while.

"Wushuang, should we take a look around, maybe there is ginseng nearby?" Rong Jingru remembered the time-traveling novels she had read in her previous life.

Jin Wushuang nodded, and although he agreed, he still didn't forget to instruct: "Then Jingru shouldn't go too far for a while." ”

After all, the three of them are in the mountains now, so it's better to be careful.

Her worries were not superfluous, but when Rong Jingru found ginseng again, a small snake was swimming through the grass towards Rong Jingru, but fortunately, Jin Wushuang reacted in time and pierced the little snake with a sword.

Rong Jingru only noticed at this time, it seemed that because of the two of them by her side, her vigilance had dropped, otherwise why didn't she notice the snake swimming over.

"Wushuang, is this snake poisonous or not?"

"I'll see." As he spoke, he pierced the snake with his sword and looked at it, "It's bamboo leaf green, poisonous." ”

Rong Jingru was terrified when she heard this, and felt that her fate had escaped.

Their harvest this trip was quite large, and they picked three ginseng at once, one of which was almost fifty years old, and the other two were not long, but they were almost ten years.

Rong Jingru felt that this trip had a deeper understanding of medicinal materials, after all, there was still a difference between reading books and reality.

Before leaving, Rong Jingru gave Steward Yi some silver, so that he could pay more attention to some seeds that we didn't know.

"Madam, I want to buy it and plant it on the Zhuangzi."

"Yes."

"Wushuang, these two low-grade ones, you take one back to your body, and the remaining fifty years, Qi Yan takes it, maybe after the opening of the medical hall, it will be used." Rong Jingru couldn't use it for the time being, so she divided the three ginsengs.

"Jingru, I won't use it for the time being, and when there is a ginseng that is old in the future, I will keep one on my body." Since Jin Wushuang said so, Rong Jingru put the three ginsengs in Ding Qiyan's hands.

"Qiyan, then you can take these three, anyway, the medical hall is about to open, and when the time comes, someone will come to grab the medicine, maybe it will be used soon." As long as Rong Jingru thought that these three ginseng would turn into silver coins and wave at her, she felt that the harvest was not far away.

……

On the way home, before the carriage had gone far, Rong Jingru heard a few small cat meows nearby, and she quickly stopped the carriage.

Walking around to see, it turned out that in the grass not far away, there was a kitten, it was fluffy and as white as snow.

Rong Jingru didn't find other adult cats around it, especially its eyes were like rubies, sparkling, which made her like it even more.

Seeing that it was quite pitiful, Rong Jingyi was moved with compassion, and couldn't help but pick up the kitten and gently stroke its fur.

The kitten felt a hint of warmth, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick Rong Jingru's hand, making a "meow" sound from time to time.

"The smell of this person's body is so good, I have decided, I will stay by her side for the rest of my life."

"You help me take it on, and we'll bring it back." Rong Jingru said and handed the kitten over.

Ding Qiyan had already stepped out of the carriage and reached out to hug the kitten.

Rong Jingru patted the dust on her body, and then sat back in the carriage.

"Jingru, do you want to go to my house and give it a bath first?" This little kitten is a little dirty, and Ding Qiyan is afraid that Rong Jingru will take it back and will be said.

"Okay." Rong Jingru nodded.

She likes furry animals a lot, and in her previous life, her family didn't like them shedding hair everywhere, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to raise a cat after crossing over.

"This cat is so beautiful, I've never seen a cat with such beautiful eyes." Jin Wushuang praised.

Even in her previous life, she had never seen a cat's eyes like this.

The kitten looked at everyone with a stinky face, "I'm unique." ”

"We'll give you a bath in a moment, you have to be obedient." Rong Jingru said softly.

Ding Qiyan and Jin Wushuang didn't think that such a kitten could understand human speech, but they didn't bother with it.

The kitten seemed to be able to understand Rong Jingru's words, and let out a "meow" sound, then opened her eyes to look at Rong Jingru, and stretched out her little head to rub it on her hand.

Ding Qiyan and Jin Wushuang were both stunned by the scene in front of them, could this kitten really understand human speech?

"Of course I can understand people." The kitten glanced at a few people with disdain, and then closed her eyes again, "It's still the woman who just picked it up, and she likes it the most." ”

This little kitten is also related to her, Rong Jingru thought about it, reached out and gently rubbed the kitten's hair, "You will be called Tinker Bell in the future." ”

Tinker Bell was very happy that it finally had a name, so she jumped on Rong Jingru's shoulder and rubbed her face affectionately.

"It's good if you like the name, it's just that you're trying to rub me in the future, but you have to clean yourself up first."

Tinker Bell looked down at herself, and found that the hair on her body was indeed a little dirty, and one paw covered her little face a little shyly.

Tinker Bell just thinks that his master is too smart.

"Tinker Bell still knows how to be shy." Jin Wushuang quipped.

"What a clever little ghost." Ding Qiyan raised her eyebrows.

For Jin Wushuang and Ding Qiyan's praise, Tinker Bell felt very useful.

It kept wagging its tail, as if it was greeting Jin Wushuang and Ding Qiyan.
