"It seems that Steward Zhao's number of meals is inevitable. Ding Qi thought with a wry smile in his heart.

Ding Qi only remembered at this time that he hadn't taken care of the medicine garden for several days because he was in a hurry to verify the conjecture of the innate skill in his heart in the past few days. A medicinal herb planted in the medicine garden should have taken specific measures to take care of it yesterday, but he didn't go at all.

It is estimated that this matter has been discovered, and Steward Zhao is going to scold him. If you don't get it right, part of this month's salary will be deducted.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi stiffened his head and walked towards Steward Zhao.

At this time, Steward Zhao finally found Ding Qi and walked towards him.

"I said why can't I find you, it turned out to be to eat. Steward Zhao glanced at the steamed buns in Ding Qi's hand, and said with an understanding look.

Then Steward Zhao said: "Xiao Ding, you came just in time this time, I have something to tell you." I just got the news today that the sect is responsible for the arrangement of receiving medicinal herb seedlings from our medicine garden this time, five days in advance. Last month, people from the sect had already come once. The specific process of receiving herb seedlings is already familiar to you, so I won't say more. This time I am looking for you, that is, I will notify you in advance. ”

Next, Steward Zhao talked to Ding Qi about some other trivial matters, and quickly got up to leave. However, from beginning to end, Steward Zhao did not mention what he was most worried about, his own negligence in taking care of the medicine garden.

It wasn't until Steward Zhao left and he himself returned to the house that he realized that Steward Zhao hadn't actually discovered his negligence.

"Hey, I'm worried in vain. Thinking about this, Ding Qi shouted in his heart with joy, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

After thinking about it, Ding Qi realized that this matter was indeed too much of his own heart.

After Ding Qi passed Steward Zhao's assessment, and Steward Zhao also handed over most of the things in the medicine garden to him to manage, Steward Zhao rarely came to the medicine garden. Most of the time, he was in the restaurant inn in Qixia Town, listening to music and drinking wine, getting drunk every day, and how could he find out so easily that Ding Qi was negligent in taking care of the medicine garden.

Regarding this time, the main thing that Steward Zhao asked him to talk about was actually not a big deal.

The people of the Qingyun Sect come to the medicine garden to receive medicinal herb seedlings, which is a thing that happens every month. Last month, I was already here once.

Ding Qi's medicine garden is planted with some perennial herbs that have not been transplanted for a long time. A perennial herb like this is, of course, more precious the older it gets. In their medicine garden, this newly cultivated herb has no medicinal value. It is necessary to wait until these herbs have grown for five or six years, or even more than ten years, before they can be used in medicine.

It is precisely because these herb seedlings are not precious that there are only two people in this medicine garden, Steward Zhao and Ding Qi, to guard them. Otherwise, if there were really any valuable herbs, the Qingyun Sect would definitely send many disciples to protect them.

The reason why these herb seedlings are planted here is because the seedlings are placed elsewhere and are difficult to cultivate and survive. This area has a special environment suitable for the growth of these seedlings.

When the seedlings grow in this medicine garden and can be transplanted to the stage where they can survive elsewhere, the Qingyun Sect will send someone to remove these seedlings and plant them in the special planting area opened up by the Qingyun Sect, and send their disciples to take care of them.

However, according to the usual situation, every month Qingyun sends people to transplant the seedlings in the medicine garden, and the work is arranged on the last day of the month. This time, for some unknown reason, it was five days ahead of schedule.

Although this false alarm made Ding Qi breathe a sigh of relief, it also made him secretly remind himself that in the future, when collecting medicine and practicing, he should not forget to take care of the medicine garden.

Fortunately, he had already verified the conjecture in his heart, and he didn't need to go up the mountain for several days in a row, and he would have enough free time to take care of the medicine garden in the future. Sitting on the bed, Ding Qi also intends to resume the plan arranged before. In other words, it is arranged to spend one day digging herbs and another day cultivating innate skills.

He was already familiar with the process of transplanting herb seedlings last month, and as long as he handled it step by step, there would be no problems. Therefore, Ding Qi didn't take this matter very seriously.

There are still nearly ten days left before the transplanting work. During this time, he naturally went up the mountain to collect medicine while practicing innate skills. In just a few days, it is impossible for the cultivation of innate skills to make any significant progress. However, during this period, Ding Qi went up the mountain four times again and picked more than ten anchovy plants, which was a big harvest.

By the day before Qingyun sent people, Ding Qi already had nearly thirty anchovies in his hands. For these anchovy grasses, Ding Qi did not plan to sell them to the pharmacy of the shopkeeper Wang and others in the town, but planned to bring them to Liangcheng to sell.

For the same anchovy, the purchase price of Liangcheng is higher than the price given by the shopkeeper of Qixia Town and others.

However, Ding Qi knew in his heart that this was not the real reason for his decision.

The real reason why he plans to take these anchovies outside for sale is because Ding Qi feels that ordinary people take out more than 30 anchovies every month, which is too eye-catching.

Ding Qi has been living in Qixia Town for a short time, and the shopkeeper Wang and others in the town also know Ding Qi well.

It is too suspicious that an ordinary medicine garden apprentice like him can take out so much anchovy grass every month.

After the last time the shopkeeper Wang sold the phoenix grass, Ding Qi had an inexplicable vigilance against people's hearts, and he felt that it was better to be safe in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, Ding Qi didn't want outsiders to know that he could sense the peculiarities of anchovy.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, Ding Qi sometimes felt that he was too careful. However, after experiencing the last incident that made him understand the complexity and unpredictability of the human heart, Ding Qi's heart had already undergone unknown changes that even he hadn't noticed, making him make this choice unconsciously. Ding Qi shook his head, finally putting this question behind him, and then calmed down and fell into the cultivation of innate skills again.

The appointed day came soon, and the people of the Qingyun Sect really came to the medicine garden to transplant the herb seedlings.

Ding Qi's medicine garden was not very big, and the herbs to be transplanted this time only accounted for a small part of the medicine garden.

Therefore, the total amount of transplanting is not much.

However, this does not mean that transplanting herbs is an easy task. In fact, on the contrary, transplanting herbs can be said to be the hardest part of every month.

In order to ensure that the herb seedlings are not damaged when transplanted. When transplanting, each plant should be quite careful and not careless. At the same time, in order to maintain the activity of the herb, the transplant can only be carried out on the same day. At the end of the day, it has been carefully digging the soil and transplanting the seedlings, which can be described as quite hard.

As with last month, this time the seedlings were transplanted, and it was already afternoon. That's almost a busy day.

Looking at the few carriages receiving herbs that were gradually moving away, today's work was finally over.

Tintze is a young man, and although he has been busy all day, he does not seem tired. Although transplanting seedlings is hard, it is much easier than going up the mountain all day to collect medicines, and he doesn't care about it.

However, unlike Ding Qi, Steward Zhao has already come to the age of being young and strong. Today, when transplanting medicinal herbs, although Ding Qi had tried his best to share more for Steward Zhao, he still seemed a little tired.

"Steward Zhao, in the future, like this kind of heavy work, just leave it to me. You can just watch it from the sidelines. Looking at Steward Zhao, who looked tired, Ding Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

When transplanting herbs today, he had advised Zhao Guan many times to let him not do such heavy work, just leave the matter to him. Anyway, after the transplanting of herbs last month, he has already learned the specific process.

However, Steward Zhao did not agree, and still insisted on the transplantation work.

"Hehe, I know that your kid has this filial piety. But I'm an old bone, I always have to move, I can't do nothing all day, so maybe I can live a few more years. To Ding Qi's words just now, Steward Zhao shook his head.

After speaking, Steward Zhao took a step and walked towards his house.

Just when Ding Qi thought that Steward Zhao was going back to the house to rest, and he was about to leave, Steward Zhao hesitated for a moment and finally turned around.

"Xiao Ding, come to me in a while, I have something to tell you. Steward Zhao said to Ding Qi.
