After Lu Shiyan left, Jiang Tangtang took some dry firewood and piled it into a small pyre, then took out a tinderbox and lit it.
With the firelight, the cave instantly became bright.
The light dispelled her fear of the darkness, and Jiang Tangtang's mood gradually improved.
But just seeing Fang Mingming's appearance instantly worsened her mood.
To avoid being influenced by this brat, Jiang Tangtang began to look around the cave out of boredom.
Originally, she just wanted to distract herself, but as she looked around, she suddenly noticed a green stone in the cave.
The stone looked a bit like the malachite on her father's desk.
Of course, this stone was nowhere near as good as the malachite on his father's table.
However, that's not the point. The point is that, as far as she knows, malachite is a copper-containing carbonate mineral.
In other words, is there a copper mine on this hill?
Moreover, copper mines often coexist with iron mines.
Has she found a treasure trove?
She excitedly contacted the system and asked, "System, system, can the scanning system analyze the metal content in the soil?"
[That's possible, but please upgrade your character a little.]
Jiang Tangtang immediately became alert. "You...you...you're ruthless! You're trying to wipe out my points again!"
[Host, don't worry about the points just yet. Think about how much benefit you'll get if you can identify minerals.]
Even without the system saying it, Jiang Tangtang knew how much benefit this would bring.
After struggling for a while, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and chose to upgrade the scanning system.
The consequence of upgrading the system was that all her points were wiped out.
However, although clearing all her points caused her a great deal of heartache.
However, according to the upgraded scanning system, the area does indeed contain abundant mineral resources. In addition to copper and iron, there are also minerals such as iron, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, antimony, gold, silver, and arsenic.
With such a large mine and such abundant minerals, she's destined to become the richest woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When Lu Shiyan returned, he saw Jiang Tangtang staring at a rock with her eyes gleaming.
She didn't even notice when he came back carrying pheasants and rabbits.
Lu Shiyan raised his hand and waved it in front of her. "Are you starving?"
Jiang Tangtang then snapped out of her daze and snorted, "You're the one who's starving!"
"Aren't you hungry? Why are you staring at a rock and drooling?"
Jiang Tangtang glared at him angrily, "I didn't drool, you're framing me."
Seeing her puffed-up face, Lu Shiyan laughed.
Jiang Tangtang then realized that he was deliberately teasing her. She scoffed, "Boring."
After she finished speaking, she gave him a slightly strange look.
This aloof immortal lord seems to be becoming more and more down-to-earth. He's even learned to joke with her like this.
Lu Shiyan asked Jiang Tangtang, "Would you like to eat pheasant or rabbit?"
Fang Mingming, who was feeling down, finally looked up and stared at the rabbit in Lu Shiyan's hand.
Seeing his actions, Jiang Tangtang asked, "Do you want to eat rabbit?"
"No!" Fang Mingming shook her head.
Thinking of how much Lu Chenyan cherished his little wolf cub, Jiang Tangtang tentatively asked, "Do you want to raise him?"
Fang Mingming hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Jiang Tangtang deliberately said, "Really not going to raise it? If you don't, I'll eat it!"
Fang Mingming's eyelashes trembled, as if she had mustered up her courage, "Can I keep it?"
"If you want to keep it, then hold it yourself." Jiang Tangtang handed the rabbit to him, then turned to Lu Shiyan and said, "Husband, let's eat roast chicken!"
When Jiang Tangtang left home in the morning, in addition to taking wild duck eggs and wild ducks with her, she also took some salt and put it in her spatial storage. Besides that, she also collected quite a few spices along the way.
She took them all out now.
Water was scarce in the cave, so Lu Shiyan discarded all the pheasant's internal organs. He simply plucked the pheasant's feathers, and any remaining downy feathers didn't matter; he just put them on the fire to roast.
Jiang Tangtang watched him roast the chicken and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "The author really favors him!"
Even roasting a pheasant is so pleasing to the eye.
Feeling her unbridled gaze, Lu Shiyan felt that the fire in front of him was too big, making his whole body hot.
"It's too hot here. Why don't you go sit over there and wait? It's farther from the fire and cooler."
Jiang Tangtang did feel hot, so she got up and found a place far away from the fire to sit down.
Bored, she picked up a book from the system to read. She intended to kill some time, but she was too tired today and actually fell asleep while reading.
When Lu Shiyan finished grilling the chicken and brought it over, he saw her leaning against the stone wall, fast asleep.
Lu Shiyan hesitated for a moment before gently nudging her and saying, "Wake up and eat."
Jiang Tangtang was dreaming that she had returned to the modern world and ordered a table full of delicious food at a five-star hotel. Just as she was about to eat, she was woken up by someone pushing her.
Lu Shiyan handed her the roast chicken, "You're really drooling this time, wipe it off before you eat."
Jiang Tangtang raised her hand and touched her hand, which was covered in water. Her face immediately turned red, and she weakly retorted, "No, there isn't any."
Lu Shiyan smiled and said, "No, you should eat!"
Jiang Tangtang blushed as she took the roast chicken and began to eat it in small bites.
After a quick meal, Lu Shiyan extinguished the fire, and the group spent the night in the cave. Perhaps it was because she was too tired during the day, or perhaps she had already gotten used to the harsh life after transmigrating.
Jiang Tangtang actually slept quite well that night.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and energized, with no soreness in my legs or feet.
Jiang Tangtang wanted to see just how vast the mineral-bearing area was, so as soon as she woke up, she insisted on using silver cinnamon grass to clean her mouth.
"Then you guys wait for me here." Lu Shiyan was already used to Jiang Tangtang's spoiled nature and didn't think much of it. "I'll also hunt some game for breakfast."
"I don't want to eat greasy pheasant anymore," Jiang Tangtang said after thinking for a moment. "I want to eat those little red wild fruits that you picked for me yesterday."
After Lu Shiyan nodded in agreement, she asked to go together.
At Jiang Tangtang's request, Lu Shiyan led her and Fang Mingming down the cave and wandered around the nearby woods.
Soon, Lu Shiyan delivered the silver elixir and wild fruit to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the bright red wild fruit in her hand, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Didn't he say yesterday that this kind of wild fruit was hard to find?
How did you find it so quickly?
When was it found? How come she didn't notice?
She certainly wouldn't notice, because the wild fruits growing on the branches not far away looked completely different from the wild fruits in her hand.
The wild fruits on the branches looked dull and often had scars on them.
However, the wild fruits that Lu Shiyan infused with spiritual energy were all round and bright red, making them very appetizing just to look at.
Jiang Tangtang enjoyed eating a wild fruit, but her mind was still tormented. She was trying to find some excuse to have Lu Shiyan take her for another stroll around the area when she heard a scream.
