That night, Old Tu tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.
The next day, he stood at the door with huge dark circles under his eyes, leaning on a cane, and stretched his head to look in the direction of the city.
Old Tu was hesitating in his heart. He was not very courageous, and because he was getting older, he had to take many things into consideration.
At the same time, little Brandon put on his small cloth bag and prepared to go to the city.
Her sister Elaine didn't know what was wrong with her recently. She always left alone and didn't care about Brandon. Brandon almost got late several times.
"Brandon, walk carefully and don't fall again." Old Tu saw Brandon running very fast and kept reminding him.
"I know! Thank you, Grandpa!" Little Brandon waved his hand nonchalantly. "For the warm clothes given by Master Cheng, I will never fall."
Brandon would be heartbroken if such beautiful and warm clothes got dirty or torn.
Old Tutou uttered an "ah" and watched her run away with a smile, "Lord Chengfu, you are even better than the priests in the temple."
At least, what Jiang Jin gave was real.
Old Tu muttered a few words and finally made up his mind.
He returned to the house and took out the food he had hidden under the bed. He also saw a basket of dried plants underneath. He simply put it on his back, walked on the snow, and slowly walked along the street towards the city.
......
Ever since Tracy asked for ten copper coins in exchange for food, the work remuneration for those little carrots was uniformly changed to a bag of food.
Jiang Jin deliberately glanced at their work progress and reached out to grab a handful of rice.
Name of the item to be identified: Intact rice
Identification item level: low
Identify the characteristics of items: They must contain water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals and vitamins, and can be eaten or sown.
Jiang Jin was satisfied just by being able to sow seeds.
Looking at the several large bags of rice that had been brought out, Jiang Jin seemed to have seen the scene in the future where the rice seedlings in the fields would be bent down by the golden ears of rice. Just imagining that scene made her feel so happy that she was about to overflow.
"Lord Cheng, the guest you requested has arrived." Yager came to Jiang Jin's side and whispered.
Yager wore a dark green high-waisted long skirt today, and black gloves on her hands, which wrapped her skin tightly. Her hair was combed meticulously, and her face was always stern, giving off the vibe of a school teacher.
Moreover, there was a faint fragrance on Yager today, which was unlike the usual plain and simple Yager.
"Yage looks particularly energetic and beautiful today. Is she going out for a date?" Jiang Jin looked at her carefully and praised her sincerely.
Yager was stunned for a moment. She gathered her hair in embarrassment and said with a big smile, "Thank you for your compliment, Cheng. I have a day off today and want to go home to see my son."
"You have a son?" Jiang Jin was also a little surprised. She had been here for so long and had never heard Yager mention it.
Yager nodded, but didn't want to talk more about his son.
In the reception room, Old Tu sat stiffly on a chair, touching his washed-out clothes from time to time.
Ai Wei offered him a glass of water without a good face, cursing, "Nowadays, any cat or dog dares to come to our city without considering their own weight."
The other two maids in the kitchen looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.
They are different from Ivy. Ivy has Brooke behind her. Sometimes even Jacob can't control her, let alone these two poor maids who have no one to rely on.
Ivy kept on talking in a roundabout way for a long time, and Old Tu's face turned red and white. He silently tightened the basket of dry plants at his feet, lowered his head and said nothing.
Fortunately, Ivy saw Jiang Jin's figure from afar, her voice stopped abruptly, she snorted coldly, turned around and left.
She was not happy to see Jiang Jin, and she was a little scared, fearing that Jiang Jin would cast some spell on her again.
"Lawson!" The joyful voice came before Jiang Jinren arrived.
The old man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to hear someone call him that again in his lifetime. "Master Cheng."
After Jiang Jin identified the things that Lao Tu brought.
She couldn't help but silently give two hundred thumbs up to her wise decision to let Old Tu come to work in the city government.

Jiang Jin was interested in the dried cloud grass. The description of its mellow taste aroused her appetite.
She picked up a piece of water and washed it with it for a while. When she was about to put it into her mouth, she suddenly saw that the pure white water slowly turned into a light golden color. As the steam slowly rose, it brought with it a burst of fragrance.
Jiang Jin put the piece of cloud grass into her mouth and chewed it slightly. Her mouth was immediately filled with fragrance and a slightly bitter taste.
Wow! Isn’t this tea?
Jiang Jin's eyes lit up. As the bitterness in her mouth dissipated and the sweetness returned, Jiang Jin became more certain that this cloud grass was tea.
"Is this all recorded in your book?"
Jiang Jin took out "Food" with great interest.
Old Tu nodded, flipped open the booklet, and landed on a page. He pointed at the round leaves and trunk and said, "This is the small tree. It's a small cylindrical tree with evergreen leaves. There are many of them around the Misty Forest, but it tastes bitter and doesn't fill you up, so not many people like to eat it."
"What about this?" Jiang Jin nodded, her fingertips falling on another small picture.
Old Tu looked at the crooked handwriting and recalled for a moment before saying, "This is a wild vegetable. It looks small, but the leaves actually swell up when soaked in water. It tastes good and is very filling, but it's been eaten up in recent days. I haven't seen this kind of wild vegetable in a long time."
Wild vegetables that grow bigger after soaking in water?
It would be nice if we could get some seeds and plant them in Alicante, Jiang Jin thought for a while, supporting her chin with her hand.
Then Jiang Jin asked several more questions in succession. The key points of Lao Tutou's speech were, in particular, this one can be eaten and will fill you up, and this one can be eaten but will not fill you up. The whole conversation made Jiang Jin feel a little amused and helpless.
Old Tu scratched his remaining hair a little embarrassedly and gave a nervous smile.
