Qingliu had been playing with the little dumpling for a while when Doss came running back.
"Sir, I have asked the brothers from the Wang family next door to help call him. He should be back soon."
Doss walked in and smiled shyly, then said to Qingliu.
"My lord, you have worked hard. How about I do it?"
The little girl was snuggling in Qingliu's arms, ignoring her mother's hand.
"It's okay. I'm sitting down anyway, so I'm not tired. You can talk to the adults about business first. I'll take care of it for a while. It's okay."
Qingliu was quite curious at the moment, and since she had nothing to do, she helped take care of the baby while the adults talked to Dos.
Seeing this, Doss stopped moving, since she was there anyway.
"Well, please wait a moment, my lords. I have some fresh milk at home. I'll boil some for everyone to try. It's a specialty from outside the Great Wall."
Doss freed her hands and saw that she had not had time to pour water after the two people came in, so she quickly went to another room and busy herself for a while.
Soon two cups of hot milk were served.
Zhao Jun himself actually doesn’t like drinking milk, except for milk tea.
Because pure milk has a taste, she can't stand it if it's not processed.
But the two cups of milk that Doss brought out were slightly yellow in color and emitted a pleasant fragrance.
Zhao Jun couldn't help but take a sip, and it tasted a bit like caramel milk tea in later generations.
"What's added to it? It tastes so fragrant and sweet."
She asked curiously, it was even better than the milk tea she made in the palace.
"We added some nectar. People over there have been drinking it since they were young. It tastes very good."
"If you like it, I'll ask Futian to send you a few boxes of nectar. It tastes good even when mixed with water."
Doss said enthusiastically.
Zhao Jun waved his hand and let it go.
A few people were chatting like this, and soon they heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.
After running for a while, the man wiped his sweat and walked into the yard.
Soon he went back into the house.
"Hello, sir. I'm honored to meet you." Li Futian hurriedly bowed.
Zhao Jun waved for him to sit down.
"Don't worry. I came to you today mainly to ask you something. You must have seen a lot of things when you went back and forth to the northern border. See if you recognize this herb."
Zhao Jun took out the pattern from his sleeve and handed it to Li Futian.
Li Futian took a deep breath and calmed down for a moment.
Then he carefully looked at the pattern in his hand.
Pot of sheep honey?
These green leaves look like some kind of grass.
Li Futian looked at it for a long time.
He looked again at the thing in the drawing that looked like a flower bud.
honey?
Li Futian hesitated for a while and said uncertainly.
"I've never seen this herb called Huyangmi before."
The moment he said this, Zhao Jun felt that he might have made another wasted trip.
"But the yellow buds on this grass look familiar."
Zhao Jun's mood was like riding a roller coaster, jumping from the bottom to the top in an instant.
"What? It's okay, don't worry, just think about it slowly."
Zhao Jun spoke calmly and without urging.
"The yellow buds above look very much like the nectar people outside the Great Wall often use."
"Wife, come and take a look."
He handed the pattern to Doss, who was sitting next to him.
Doss took the picture, looked at it carefully for a while, and said quickly.
“Yes, this is the nectar outside the pass!”
"I often picked them when I was a kid, but we only picked the buds and didn't remove the leaves, so I didn't recognize them at first glance."
"By the way, I just added this nectar to the milk I boiled for you."
Doss nodded affirmatively.
Nectar, unexpectedly, she had drunk it before, Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, people in the north also like to drink this kind of nectar. I always bring back a lot from outside the Great Wall. However, the most I see are the picked buds or the finished nectar, so I never knew the leaves looked like this."
Li Futian also followed suit.
"That's great! I need a lot of this nectar right now, but I want the kind with roots and leaves. Do you have any now?"
It was worth their trip, they unexpectedly gained something.
It turns out that Huyangmi is not used as a commonly used medicinal ingredient now, but is regarded as nectar.
"I have quite a few jars of nectar at home, but none with leaves. Even people from outside the Great Wall wouldn't pick them."
However, he soon added.
"However, I can go outside the pass and pick them myself. There are a lot of these things outside the pass, and I know where to pick them."
Since it is something the adults want, Li Futian will of course do his best to get it.
Zhao Jun was silent for a while, thinking, and after a moment.
"I'm sorry to bother you this time. This thing is very important to me. You may need to go outside the border. For safety reasons, I will have my guards accompany you."
After all, this is Zhao Jun's own business. She is unwilling to let Li Futian take risks. After all, no one can predict the situation outside the pass.
"It's okay, there's no need. If I bring too many people, they'll think I'm up to something bad, so it's safer for me to be alone."
What Li Futian said makes sense.
Zhao Jun frowned.
"Okay, then you stay safe. I'll have someone send you some money later. It'll be considered as my purchase."
It’s better not to do more harm than good with good intentions.
"No need to pay."
Li Futian quickly evaded the question, saying that he had never seen an official asking for money.
"This money is not only for you, but also for me buying it from people outside the customs. The rest is your hard work fee."
