Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Herbs Have Arrived
At noon on September 14, the staff of the express company called.
When the herbs purchased by Jiang Ning arrived, the staff asked Jiang Ning whether he would pick them up or send them to his door, because the total weight of this batch of herbs was more than 100 kilograms, and the distance was five kilometers, so the service fee for delivering them to the door required 50 yuan.
Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't run to get it in person in order to save fifty yuan, he left a phone call for the other party and asked to send it over.
Jiang Ning stood outside the classroom on the phone, just a few minutes after school at this time, and Xue Yuantong was on the side.
"Alright, let's go." Jiang Ning sent Xue Yuantong home.
Xue Yuantong is used to riding Jiang Ning's bicycle, of course, he always finds an excuse before getting on the bus.
Today's lunch is still sumptuous, Jiang Ning bought a large river prawn, and roasted a plate of beef, the vegetarian dishes are green pepper eggs, lettuce mushrooms, and then served with sliced iced watermelon, which occupies the small folding table.
Xue Yuantong ate happily, but he inevitably felt a little guilty.
Recently, Jiang Ning bought vegetables, all of which were paid by Jiang Ning, and her family only paid a little oil and salt, and her mother's steamed buns, or some pumpkin porridge pumpkins, all of which were worthless things.
She always felt that she had taken advantage of Jiang Ning, she and Jiang Ning were not related, why was he so good to him for no reason?
Just send me home, just give me a wif, and eat with me every day.
Why is that?
Don't...... Does he like me?
Xue Yuantong pinched her little face, thinking that it was unlikely, in her eyes, she was just studying better, cooking deliciously, doing housework well, smart, and kind.
Other than that, there are not many advantages.
Jiang Ning couldn't have taken a fancy to her, Xue Yuantong resolutely denied it, and ruled out this possibility as soon as possible.
But if this continues, he owes Jiang Ning more and more.
She was ready for a showdown and asked why Jiang Ning was so good to her.
Originally, Xue Yuantong planned to have a showdown today, but the dishes she fried today were particularly delicious, what if she and Jiang Ning fell out and he ran away?
It's still tomorrow.
She set a date.
During Jiang Ning's meal, he noticed that Xue Yuantong was very dull today, his brows were still twisted, stretched for a while, and he looked preoccupied.
He didn't ask, and he didn't care.
Recently, eating with Xue Yuantong every day made him find some smell of fireworks, how long has it been since he experienced this feeling?
Probably a few hundred years ago.
Jiang Ning enjoyed this feeling very much, and as for the price paid, it was just less than a hundred yuan a day to buy food.
For him, there is no big money for the time being, but there is no shortage of small money.
As for whether it would cause trouble to Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning had thought about it, but seeing that she was eating so happily, she was not worried.
After all, a person who used to only be able to eat half a bowl of rice is now able to cook a whole bowl, and sometimes has to secretly add another spoonful, must be in a happy mood.
……
After eating, Xue Yuantong took the initiative to take on the work of brushing the dishes, although Jiang Ning could clean the dishes and chopsticks with a spell.
But seeing Xue Yuantong's diligent appearance, he also let her wash the dishes.
Like an uncle, he went to sit in the shade at the door, and there were about a few minutes before the appointment time with the express staff.
When Xue Yuantong came out after brushing the bowl, a silver-white pickup truck on the river dam drove towards this side, and then turned down the slope.
Express points and express points are different, in this era, after the express delivery to the local city, it is often not delivered to the door, and the customer needs to come to pick it up by himself, after all, the basic express transport is large goods.
Many of the operators of express points have taken the initiative to start a business, and if customers don't want to pick it up, they can provide a paid delivery service to your door, and also carry it for you.
For the five-kilometer road, fifty yuan was collected, and the delivery was very punctual.
The small truck drove all the way to the door of Jiang Ning, and the truck master divided five by two and moved a few cardboard boxes out of the car.
Jiang Ning opened the box, looked at it twice, and made sure that the medicinal herbs were fine.
The master took out the mobile phone for acceptance, Jiang Ning took a look, and it turned out to be Xiaomi 2S, a classic model, comparable to a generation of nail machine kings, Xiaomi 6.
"You've got a good phone." Jiang Ning praised.
"Hey, it was sent from the head office." The master smiled happily.
"Thank you, master, I'll do it myself later, you can go back."
The pickup truck starts and drives up to the dam.
"Jiang Ning, are you sick? Buy so many medicines? Xue Yuantong asked in surprise.
After the box was put down just now, she smelled a faint smell of herbs, and wondered what Jiang Ning had bought.
Until Jiang Ning opened the box, which was full of herbs.
"I'm not sick, I want some use of herbs to nourish my body." Jiang Ning didn't hide it from Xue Yuantong.
Because he was not noticed by Ding Shuyan once, he was like a frightened bird, and he did things in a secret.
He bought medicinal herbs and was already known by the herb dealer and the person at the courier point, and this kind of thing is not easy to hide from others.
Xue Yuantong rarely speaks, and he is like a transparent person in the class, with a strict mouth and no nonsense.
Besides, even if the purchase of medicinal herbs is known, what does it matter?
Could it be that if you buy some medicinal herbs to play by yourself, you will also be investigated?
Don't be kidding, as long as you don't endanger society, the official doesn't have those idle people to care about you.
As an immortal cultivator, with all kinds of spells, come to a world full of ordinary people, buy a medicinal herb, look ahead, sneak around, then simply don't enter the world, just hide in the mountains and old forests to cultivate!
It's safe there, and no one is nosy.
Hearing Jiang Ning's explanation, Xue Yuantong didn't ask much, she looked at a few big boxes and rolled up her sleeves:
"I'll help you move."
Jiang Ning was condescending and glanced at Xue Yuantong's hair: "I'll come by myself." ”
"What's the matter, don't look down on me? As friends, shouldn't we help each other? I know you don't want to trouble me, but my Xue Yuantong's dignity does not allow me to stand idly by. ”
She said a lot, holding the cardboard box with her little hand, and tried to lift it, but her face was flushed and she didn't move.
Jiang Ning casually lifted it, and the box was up, looking extremely relaxed.
Jiang Ning held the box and stared at Xue Yuantong, Xue Yuantong also stared at Jiang Ning, and the air stood still for a few seconds.
Xue Yuantong quietly and secretly exerted her strength, but the box still didn't move, which was too heavy and heavy for her.
She removed her hand as usual, patted the dust, and her expression was natural:
"Look at your relaxed appearance, it's up to you to move, I had too much lunch just now, you just happened to exercise, such a good exercise opportunity, I definitely can't compete with you, let it be given to you!"
"I understand." Jiang Ning carried the box into the house.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, Xue Yuantong's little face immediately became bitter.
Jiang Ning has a lot of strength, if only she had Jiang Ning's strength, she could earn hundreds a day by going to the construction site to resist cement bags.
Jiang Ning went back and forth a few times, transported the box back to the kitchen, and at this time, Xue Yuantong went back to the next door for a nap.
Jiang Ning came to the kitchen and looked at the boxes of herbs that were piled up.
Nearly 300 catties of herbs, only 10,000 yuan, an average of 30 yuan a catty, really cheap, these herbs are not all refining Qi Gathering Pill', 'Yunling Pill' herbs, but also mixed with some other useless medicinal materials, as a cover-up.
Although in the absence of spiritual power, it is impossible to create two elixirs with current technology, Jiang Ning has an extra mind.
There are less than 20,000 dollars left on his body, and he can actually buy more herbs.
But before buying, Jiang Ning estimated that with the formation he had arranged now for Qi cultivation, he could barely maintain the medicinal effect of these three hundred catties of herbs, and if it was more, it would be difficult to guarantee.
Jiang Ning urged the spiritual power, constantly pinched out the law, and the colorful spiritual power hit the surroundings of the box, and finally Jiang Ning lightly hooked up the spiritual power everywhere, and in the small kitchen, a bright cyan shield suddenly rose, and its surface flashed with spiritual light.
The smell of medicine in the kitchen instantly subsided.
The formation is done.
Jiang Ning clicked a few more times, and outside of this array, he arranged a simple masking formation, covering up the conspicuous cyan shield.
Jiang Ning transferred eighty percent of the spiritual power in his body to the formation in one breath to maintain its normal operation.
His spiritual power was only enough to maintain the formation for a few hours, and it was really a big burden to have to cross his spiritual power every day in the future.
"Refine these herbs into pills as soon as possible in the next few days."
"I'm busy."
