When Pei Guanyu heard Tong Wenyao being jealous of him, he couldn't help but think of those bright and stubborn eyes. Would she be jealous of him? Thinking of her various behaviors after meeting her, he was afraid that it might not be the case. He didn't know if she had prepared the pills for him.

Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said, "I've been out for a while. I'll come see you next time."

After saying this, he followed Mo Yun into the secret passage. Pei Guanyu sniffed the tea, tapping his hand on the table. He calculated that the pills should arrive in two days.

This time, we killed most of their men, but what methods will they use next time?

After Mo Yun came back from sending the person away, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Pei Guanyu glanced at him and motioned for him to speak.

"Master, you shouldn't have thrown Ye Wan to the barbarians this time." Pei Guanyu rubbed the jade ring on his index finger and said nonchalantly, "If you dare to plot against me, just crawl back here on your own."

Mo Yun wanted to say that now that Prime Minister Ye was putting pressure on the Prince Pei's Mansion, they had already fought back several times. Fortunately, Ye Wan had only gone there secretly. The rumor they spread to the outside world was that the master was recuperating in the manor, but secretly everyone knew that the master had gone to the border, and even Prime Minister Ye's beloved daughter had followed with a group of people.

But in the end, it was Master Pei who came back, but Ye Wan's whereabouts were unknown.

Cough, cough, Mo Yun quickly pulled down the curtain beside the pavilion and raised the charcoal in the brazier. After doing this, Pei Guanyu stopped coughing so violently.

"Master, why don't you go back to the house?" Pei Guanyu raised his hand and waved. Mo Yun suppressed his composure and acted like a nanny. Even though he was severely punished last time, he didn't dare to say anything and could only stand by and accompany him.

"I feel much better after the last acupuncture. If she were here, I might have to be given a needle or two." Pei Guanyu remembered that when they were in the frontier, whenever he coughed in the yard, she would ask him to go in for a few needles.

Mo Yun was puzzled. There was another Tong family member in the capital! Was the one in the capital or the one in the border area mentioned? I heard that the one in the capital recently fell into the water and is still unconscious!

In front of the workshop door, Tong Wen Yao looked at the thirty workers in front of her with a hint of joy and excitement in her eyes. Tong Bo stretched out his hand to signal for silence, and the workers stopped whispering after seeing this.

Seeing that things had calmed down, Tong Bo finally laid out the rules. "We have rules for entering the mountains today. If you don't follow them, don't blame us for turning our backs on you."

"First, your entire itinerary must be kept confidential and must not be leaked. If you violate this, you will be required to pay us five hundred taels of silver as compensation!

Second, if the leaker is serious, he will directly sign a contract to sell himself to us!

Third, the salary for this trip is half a tael of silver. If you perform well, your salary will be doubled."

After he finished speaking, Tong Bo took out a piece of paper and looked at them. "Think it over carefully. If you don't want to go into the mountains, you can give up this time. We will never hire you in the future."

The crowd murmured, "This requirement is too strict! Even working in town doesn't have such strict requirements."

"Did you hear that? In serious cases, they'll just sell themselves."

Someone in the crowd pouted and then shouted, "I'm not going! The wages are so low, and I still have to sign a contract to sell myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the crowd started to say that they could not go. Tong Bo did not ask them to leave, but nodded to indicate that they could go.

A man standing next to Tong Wenyao asked, "So, as long as we don't tell anyone about our trip into the mountains, that's all that matters, right?" Tong Wenyao nodded. He then said, "Oh my god! This is the boss's way of making money. We shouldn't make this public. This is also basic morality. Are you going to tell everyone what you did in the mountains?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the crowd began to sign up to go into the mountains. Brother Hu was right, as long as they didn't tell anyone, it would be fine.

Upon seeing this, Tong Bo spread out the paper on the table, wrote down the names one by one, and then asked them to put their fingerprints on it.

Tong Wenyao was watching this man named Hu Zhi from the side.

Some of those who left began to regret it.

The village chief found thirty people, and in the end there were still twenty people willing to go into the mountains. Tong Wen Yao saw that the number of people had decreased a lot. Those who left were all unstable and wavering. These were just right.

"This time when we go into the mountains, just follow us. Remember, keep your mouth shut!"

"Okay, okay." The voice in front of the workshop was loud and deafening.

The village chief still led the way, Tong Wen Yao walked behind. Uncle Du did not come in this time. He was going to lead the workers in the workshop to make bricks. The boss said to make as many bricks as possible, and the size was about the same as blue bricks. After they were made, she would send someone to take them back.

Tong Wen Yao had experience walking on the mountain road this time. She found some wooden sticks to support herself. At the same time, she was thinking, it is not enough to just burn it out, she also needs to find someone to pull it out. Otherwise, how about buying a few horses to pull it?

The horses didn't seem to be doing well either, so what about the cows? She shook her head again. Cows weren't suitable for walking on mountain roads. Tong Bo watched her, shaking his head and frowning, and couldn't help but ask, "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

Tong Wenyao glanced at him and said, "Brother, I'm wondering how to get the goods out after we mine them. Horses seem a bit extravagant, and cows are not suitable for walking on mountain roads." Tong Bo couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. "Yao'er, you're smart in other places, but why are you so stubborn now? We can use donkeys to pull it out!"

When Tong Wenyao heard this, she thought, "Oh, that's right. Using a donkey to pull the goods is perfect." "Second brother, you've thought it through!"

When they arrived at the cave, Tong Wen Yao first asked them to build the kiln, and then dug a kiln nearby to live in. The baskets were purchased by the village chief from the village, and now he is responsible for the mining and subsequent work of the entire team.

When entering the mountains, she also asked someone to bring a spatula to make it easier to set up camp here. Someone still had to be arranged to guard nearby, and two wolfhounds had to be sent to guard it.

There was a spring where they were stationed, which solved the water problem. Now that the weather was cold, they didn't need to take a bath like this.

They eat lunch here and dinner in the village, so if Tong Wen Yao is not here, a cook must be arranged here. She took out the corn. She thought that mining was tiring, so she put a lot of corn. There may not be many dishes, but it will make you full!

She cooked corn in one pot and stewed vegetables in another. She bought some dried vegetables from the village. She had never seen bacon or anything like that in this area, so she asked someone to bring a plucked chicken. The chicken had already been killed by someone in the village. Considering that it would be difficult to cut the chicken in the mountains, she asked the family to cut it in front of her.

After soaking the dried vegetables in water, she began to blanch the chicken. When the dried vegetables came into contact with water, the yellow-brown leaves gradually unfolded.
