The old lady showed off her new dress everywhere, saying that her granddaughter had picked some beautiful flowers and sold them to the county magistrate's daughter. Miss Min was very happy, and Mrs. Min was also happy and gave her the fabric as a reward. Butler Tang also said that if anyone was so blind as to bully them, an orphan and a widow, they should go to him.
Those who listened were naturally envious and jealous. Others who didn't listen accused her of boasting. How could a pot of tattered flowers picked up from the mountains possibly catch the eye of the county magistrate's daughter?
During this time, Xu Lanyin tried making butterfly cakes, pear and cinnamon double jelly, lotus cakes, and golden cakes. The taste was okay, but she needed to continue to explore. She went to town to buy a lot of ingredients. When Xu Lanyin ran out of money, Qin gave her more money.
Xu Yuan and Xu Man came to her house every day, waiting to eat cakes. Gu felt embarrassed to charge for the eggs, so she asked Xu Yuan to bring ten more eggs.
I heard that he was trying to make dim sum in order to open a dim sum shop in the future. Neither Xu Lanzhou nor Old Mrs. Xu scolded Xu Lanyin for being a spendthrift.
On August 30th, the weather was fine, with clear skies and a clear sky. Xu Lanyin put on her most ragged clothes again, wrapped her head with a blue cloth, and brought two cakes and a corn pancake for herself, and two corn pancakes for Huazi.
She was going to Black Bee Ridge again.
She still wanted to try her luck and go deeper to see if she could find more blackroot grass. Grandpa Zhang said it was a rare and useful medicine that was impossible to find in large quantities.
Xu Lanyin occasionally connected Grandpa Zhang with the old miracle doctor in the book, connected the rare and wonderful medicine the old miracle doctor was looking for with blackroot grass, and connected the ointment Grandpa Zhang gave the original owner with the Ruyu Shengji ointment in the book. But she also felt it was impossible. How could such a coincidence be possible?
In the book, the old doctor's reputation is legendary, a semi-immortal, his medical skills and pharmaceutical technology reaching the pinnacle. He also has an eccentric personality and rarely interacts with others. He spends part of his time living on a remote island in the East China Sea and the rest of his time traveling the world collecting herbs, his whereabouts uncertain. The old doctor's last name is never mentioned, nor is the name of the miraculous medicine he sought.
Because the ingredients for the Jade-like Regenerating Cream were so hard to find, the old doctor only gave Miss Su a thumb-sized amount, while Grandpa Zhang gave the original owner a small wooden box full. If it was the Jade-like Regenerating Cream, how could he have given so much?
Xu Lanyin connected them again and again, and denied her own guesses again and again.
However, she did try the ointment once, and immediately felt her skin become fairer and smoother. It was definitely a top-notch beauty and skincare product. She was reluctant to use it anymore, thinking she would use it later when she had enough money and didn't need to be exposed to the sun so often.
A man and his dog walked westward along the foot of Oat Mountain. Autumn had already deepened, the leaves turning yellow and red, and the weeds had mostly withered. The interlaced green, yellow, and red colors made the mountains even more vibrant and vibrant. Although the sun was strong, walking under the trees kept us warm, and the air was filled with a pleasant, fragrant, and moist air.
In this weather, I can’t go there many times.
She arrived at Yefeng Ridge, but instead of going up the mountain, she walked along the stream into the depths of the Yefeng Valley on the side. This body had a very keen sense of smell, so it was easier for her to find medicinal herbs than others.
She had observed these days that Xu Lanzhou also had this ability, but Xu Lanting did not, so she had another guess.
Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanzhou inherited this trait from their father, Xu Qingyan. People with this trait are more suited to certain professions. Coupled with the rare availability of Mule San, Xu Qingyan's most likely career is the one she had previously speculated about. People in those professions generally don't have a happy ending, and the vast majority never start a family...
Now that many leaves had fallen, taller herbs were easier to spot. She relied more on her nose for the shorter ones, but she managed to pick quite a few, including Isatis root, Angelica dahurica, Platycodon grandiflorum, and Bupleurum chinense. She also stumbled upon a handful of Golden Fox Vine, one of the world's rarest herbs. Its powdered form is incredibly effective in stopping bleeding, and it's also incredibly valuable.
She searched and searched until the sun was already at its zenith. Looking up, she saw she was deep in the valley. On the other side of the stream lay a small forest. Through the branches, she could see a small wooden house. It was a place where hunters occasionally stopped when they went hunting in the mountains. Grandpa Zhang, the herbalist, had also lived there for a while.
The original owner often walked such a long way to collect more herbs, knowing that the old herbalist lived here. The place where he collected the two blackroot grasses was even farther away.
Xu Lanyin was tired and hungry, so she went to the stream to wash her hands and drink some water. Then she sat on a large rock by the stream, took two cakes from the basket, threw them to Huazi, and started eating her own lunch.
She looked around. On either side were sheer cliffs, their peaks shrouded in mist and clouds. Black Bee Ridge, with its unusual pines and rocks, was particularly famous for its scenic beauty. On the northern slopes stood the Daxiang Temple, a temple said to be bustling with incense daily, attracting visitors from even the provincial capital and the capital.
Thinking about it, no wonder the original owner liked to come here to collect herbs. If he walked in a little, he could collect more herbs in half a day than he would in two days in the mountains behind the village. Occasionally, he would come across good herbs that could be sold at a high price, such as golden fox vine.
Just as he was thinking, he saw two men emerge from the woods. One was wearing a long, brown jacquard brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. He was tall and slender, with a look of impatience. He was the young man in brocade clothes who had ridden his horse and hurled insults in the streets of Nanping County that day. The other was his servant, who had given them two taels of silver.
The two men also saw Xu Lanyin.
The young man in brocade clothes recognized her, pointed at her, frowned, and said, "Why do I see you again?" He frowned again, curled his lips, and said disdainfully, "The rag she's wearing this time is even uglier. It's too unpleasant for a girl to wear. It's annoying to look at. Only the night maids in our mansion wear handkerchiefs like this."
Xu Lanyin didn't want to argue with the little brat. This brat was the kind of kid whose parents hadn't taught him well. He was mean and deserved a beating. He not only had delusions, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She cursed with a gloomy face, "Sir, what is your relationship with me? It's none of your business whether I have a cloth on my head or not. I'm sick, and I'm seriously ill."
The young man jumped up, whipping his horsewhip and rushing to hit the man, but was blocked by a stream nearly two meters wide. The stream was deep here, and there were no large rocks for people to step on, so he couldn't cross.
Xu Lanyin knew that after crossing this stream, she would have to walk a long way forward or retreat a long way, and the young man would not be able to come over and hit her.
She cursed again, "If you have the guts, jump into the river and rush over. If you don't, stop talking nonsense. You're such a grown man, but you're talking without restraint, your thoughts are muddled, and you can't control your words, actions, and emotions. You're obviously sick. Go home and find a doctor to see you, and take more medicine. Don't run around like a mad dog, biting everyone you catch."
