Chapter 466 Baoshan
As long as it’s good news.
Qin Xiaomi, Jiang Dalang, and Grandpa Qin felt relieved after hearing this.
"Dalang, let's go to greet the clerk of Guan." Grandpa Qin was very grateful to the clerk of Guan for helping him and went to the west entrance of the village to greet him personally.
"Village Chief Qin." When Secretary Guan saw Grandpa Qin, he smiled and said the reason for his visit: "I came here today to talk about going into the mountains to find medicinal materials."
"Going into the mountains to find medicinal materials?" Grandpa Qin suppressed his doubts and invited the scribes and others to the guest house.
As soon as they sat down, Secretary Guan and Doctor You explained the matter.
Doctor You said again: "Our medicine store will provide money to buy the medicinal materials you find, so your family will not suffer any loss."
They all know that as early as last year, Qin Xiaomi I bought the mountain behind the ghost village.
Grandpa Qin said: "What the old man is worried about is not this, but the dangers in the mountains. If Doctor You wants to go into the mountains, he must make good arrangements, otherwise an accident may occur."
He also talked about how when they first settled in the village last year, they went into the mountains to look for food and encountered wild boars. The villagers were even injured by wild boars.
Unexpectedly, Doctor You said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. We doctors have all gone into the mountains to search for medicinal materials. We have encountered them all in valleys, riverbanks, cliffs, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and beasts. It's not enough. "We don't go into the mountains. We can only walk for two days at most."
This is already a short distance. In the past, they often stayed in the mountains for ten days and a half to collect herbs. .
Grandpa Qin frowned: "No, no one has entered the mountain behind the ghost village for decades, so we must not stay overnight."
Guan Shuli also disagreed: "Doctor You, in It’s too risky to stay in the mountains for four days... This is my first time going into the mountains to collect herbs, so it’s better to be safe and only go half a day.”
Doctor You said: "Half a day's journey? What good medicinal materials can be found? No, at least one day's journey."
Guan Shuli disagreed: "Then we still have to stay overnight, no, it's too risky. ”
The two parties quarreled.
Huang Yanglong was very happy when he saw it, and even raised his eyebrows: "Doctor You is right, what kind of medicinal materials can you find after walking for a long time? Secretary Guan is right, if you spend the night in the mountains, if someone dies, who will it be? Si? Lifang has no money to pay."
As soon as these words came out, the room was silent. Doctor You glared at him and Secretary Guan stared at him seriously: "...I should call Youyu to train you."
Fortunately, Yu was very skilled, even better than Huang Laowu, Xue Feng, and Xue Lei. Huang Yanglong hurriedly shouted: "Guan Shuli, you are a gentleman, how can you send your subordinates to sneak attack!"
Guan Shuli did not quarrel with him and continued to lobby Doctor You: "Let's do it this way. It's your first time to go into the mountains and walk for half a day. If you can't find any useful medicine, How about staying overnight the second time we go into the mountains?”
Doctor You finally agreed and emphasized: “If I can’t find good medicinal materials, I must be allowed to go deep into the mountains.”
Guan Shuli smiled: "Yes, don't worry, Doctor You."
The guys discussed the number of people entering the mountain, the time of entering the mountain and other matters.
In the end, it was decided that Yu Yu, who was at Guan Shuli's side, would accompany Doctor You and Master Xunzi into the mountain.
In addition, Jiang Dalang, Qin Ershu, Xu Erjun, Zhu Xuemou, Old Man Xun, Xiao Mutong and others from the Qin family.
Huang Yanglong made a big fuss, and finally added him, Xiaobai, and Huang Laowu.
Xue Yong, the manager, was afraid that he had something wrong with him, and the Xue family couldn't explain it, so he asked Xue Feng to accompany him into the mountain in person.
After the discussion was completed, Secretary Guan said: "Village Chief Qin, Doctor You and the others have been going to the mountains to collect herbs for the past three days. I would like to thank you for your troubles."
Then he said: "I may come to disturb your house several times in the past three days."
He must know the situation of Doctor You and the others in real time, so as not to have any accidents, he will teach the villagers how to dig up medicinal materials and sell them. , will completely fail.
Grandpa Qin: "What's the trouble? The official Guan Shuli is doing things for the people, and the old man's family should cooperate."
This is the truth... Grandpa Qin has lived a lifetime, from the Central Plains When I went to the place where I served as a soldier, and then to the northeastern states, I saw many officials and officials who were timid and fearful of getting into trouble. It was really rare to see good officials like Guan Shuli who were willing to take risks to benefit the people. "Old man, this is the red date and arrowroot powder cake that has just come out of the pot. Let the guests try it." Grandma Qin brought Aunt Xu in with two plates of cakes, and said with an apologetic smile: "The farmer has nothing to offer. Guests are welcome to eat, please don’t dislike it.”
Prince Guan didn’t want to eat it at first, but after hearing what Grandma Qin said, he was afraid that Grandma Qin would think too much, so he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it first.
After taking only one bite, he smiled sincerely: "Aunt Qin, this red date and arrowroot cake is very sweet and soft... huh? It also contains fried sesame seeds, which adds to the fragrance. It's delicious. Thank you for taking the trouble." ”
The red date cakes are not filled with fillings, but the Qin family’s ones are filled with sesame seeds, which is a surprise for pastry eaters.
"So delicious? You must try that young master." Huang Yanglong picked up the pastry and ate it in two bites. He thought it was okay, so he took two more and gave one to Xiaobai.
Doctor You said: "Kudzu powder is slightly cold, but after adding red dates to neutralize it, it is very suitable for children and the elderly."
"As long as the guests like it." Grandma Qin was very happy Happy, he took Aunt Xu back to Qin's house.
Qin Xiaomi was also eating red date and arrowroot powder cake, and said to Aunt Qin: "Sister-in-law, your idea of adding fried sesame seeds to this pastry is very good and delicious."
Aunt Qin smiled: "It's already half afternoon. Don’t eat too much, or you won’t be able to eat dinner.”
“Don’t worry, sister-in-law, it’s time for me to grow taller. , No matter how much I eat now, it won’t affect my dinner.” Qin Xiaomi said, and when she saw Grandma Qin coming back, she said happily: “Grandma is back, what did the guest house say?”
Grandma Qin annoyed her. One glance: "Little girl, why do you care so much? Just prepare the secret recipe."
Don't tell her?
It doesn't matter, she has many ears and eyes, and she will know quickly.
Sure enough, before the official left, Zhu Yiqing came over and told Qin Xiaomi everything: "Mr. Xun said..."
Qin Xiaomi's eyes lit up after hearing this.
If we go into the mountains tomorrow, then she has to go and take a look. She hasn’t surveyed her three thousand acres of mountain land yet, so she doesn’t even know what’s in it.
But she knew that Grandma Qin would not agree, so she found three lobbyists.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Secretary Guan, Manager Xue Yong, and Doctor You left.
Qin Xiaomi went to the guest house again and saw Huang Yanglong: "What's going on, Master Huang, tell me."
Huang Yanglong raised his chin, hummed, and then said: "Vice General Liang, do you remember Right? That’s someone who has experienced hundreds of battles and can’t even be pierced by arrows. The tough man shed tears, but when he saw the secret recipe purse, his eyes were red, saying that your family is pure and kind, and you are devoted to the new emperor..."
Speaking of this, Huang Yanglong curled his lips... Qin My daughter and Uncle Qin are extremely shrewd and not pure and kind at all.
He asked again: "Do you know who else we saw at Vice General Liang?"
Without waiting for Qin Xiaomi to ask, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, that person is of high status and I can't tell the third person."
I didn't want to know anymore.
Qin Xiaomi: "Then don't talk about it. Just talk about the secret recipe from the three of us. What are the chances of benefiting from it?"
"Tch, you really can't speak. At this time, , you have to give me a compliment." Huang Yanglong complained, and then said: "Originally, it was only 30%; but Deputy Liang. With the general being the guarantor, it's 50%; plus the noble man's help and kind words, it's 60%; plus being able to show off the powerful family's face, it's 70% at least; plus this is the right time With the right weather and favorable conditions, there is at least an 80% chance that our three families will be blessed by the new emperor."
That would be great.
However, there was only a 30% chance?
Could it be that the new emperor of Wei has an outright temper and hates opportunistic people?
Hey, she guessed it right, Emperor Wuxing had such a temper.
So when I received the new dye recipe from the Qin, Xue, and Huang families, I just felt that although the Qin family was smart, they were too petty, and I was a little unhappy.
Fortunately, someone really helped the Qin family to speak up, and the final result really changed for the better.
