Dong Yujue did not stay for tea; she simply said, "I'll come back to challenge you again in a few days," and then left.
"Chen Yang, you made the girl cry, that's a sin," said Grandpa Yun.
"That's because you, Grandpa, let them challenge me," Chen Yang said.
Grandpa Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "This girl is really strong-willed. She probably feels she has let her master down."
Chen Yang made no comment on this and quietly went back to drink tea.
"When spring arrives in the micro-realm, the pre-Qingming Longjing tea will be ready soon. We'll have Guo Zifeng send some over then. We can't miss out on real-life enjoyment," said Old Master Yun.
Chen Yang nodded in complete agreement. Since Grandpa Yun had spoken, Guo Zifeng would definitely send the best Longjing tea, and then they would be in for a treat.
"Not to mention in real life, Brother Guo is also looking for tea trees in the Micro World. He said that if there are tea trees in the Micro World, they will definitely be pure wild tea trees, the best of the best," Chen Yang said.
Li Su'er also agreed with this statement. After all, she was a senior tea master and had some understanding of it.
"The environment in the micro-world is quite suitable for the growth of tea trees. Once Brother Guo finishes firing this batch of ironware, we will go to look for tea together. We are sure we can find some."
Chen Yang certainly had no objection to this. Finding tea would be ideal; they now had the tools for processing tea, and tea was one of the seven necessities of life. Even if they couldn't find it, they would surely gain something else.
After spring arrives, their most important task is not hunting, but finding resources. Springtime brings the revival of all things, offering a wealth of usable resources.
When they entered the micro-world that evening, the little black bear was already waiting for them in the livestock shed.
The little black bear now knows that domesticated animals cannot be eaten casually, so he honestly reminds everyone to keep an eye on the livestock shed.
"Our sheep-herding bear is very responsible. Here, reward him with a piece of jerky."
Seeing Xiao Hei's obedient appearance, Jiang Yining couldn't help but go over and pet it.
The little black bear has grown quite a bit recently, but thanks to everyone's guidance, it now knows not to use too much force when playing.
Chen Yang and his group met the little black bear a month or two after it was weaned. Theoretically, black bears only spend their first winter with their parents, but its parents were too unreliable, so the little black bear spent the winter with the group.
Black bears this age no longer live with their parents, and their mothers don't care for them anymore. So, the little black bear happily runs back to freeload.
The lucky guy and the little black bear are still good friends and always play together.
Although the European Emperor's strength has increased significantly, it is still much smaller than the little black bear. In terms of combat power, the European Emperor is also clearly inferior to the little black bear. However, the European Emperor's overall hunting ability is much stronger than the little black bear's.
Yun Hu took Yun Shi to the island to hunt leopards, but no one knows what the outcome will be.
Hong Gui discovered about three leopards, but leopards are not social animals, so it's probably just a coincidence that they're together. If they're taken down one by one, there shouldn't be any problem.
We won't know anything about the island until the next day. Chen Yang's task today is to search for any new resources with Ye Wu's sister, Ye Wen.
They walked eastward along the lake and surprisingly made a discovery very quickly.
In a small grove of trees, a patch of honeysuckle emits a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Honeysuckle, also known as Lonicera japonica, has been praised as a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying since ancient times. It is sweet and cold in nature and has a fragrant aroma. It clears heat without harming the stomach.
The climate by the lake is relatively warm, which promotes the blooming of honeysuckle, much to Chen Yang's delight. This means he can drink honeysuckle dew in the summer, which is the top choice for clearing heat and detoxifying, and it tastes great too.
They picked all the honeysuckle in the field, and after drying it, it can be stored. There has been little rain recently, which is perfect for drying.
With meat sources becoming relatively stable, plants like honeysuckle have become more popular, and people often pick edible plants and petals to make tea.
The honeysuckle that Chen Yang and Ye Wen brought back delighted everyone, especially the girls, as this cooling and stomach-friendly substance was their favorite.
Just as everyone was preparing to dry the honeysuckle, the people on the island suddenly returned.
However, Yun Hu was carried on Yun Shi's back, and Hong Gui supported him from behind, his thighs were covered in bright red blood.
"What's wrong?" Everyone rushed to greet them.
"I was scratched by a leopard," Yun Hu said with some shame, his face pale from blood loss.
"Fool." Old Master Yun snorted coldly, then ordered everyone to carry Yun Hu into the house.
Jiang Yining helped Yun Hu clean his wounds, while Grandpa Yun and Jiang Bo went to find herbs.
"What happened?" Chen Yang asked Yun Hu and Yun Shi.
Yun replied, "When we were hunting leopards in the woods, we were ambushed by one, and my dad was scratched on the thigh."
Yun Hu said with some shame, "I was too careless, but Yun Shi killed that leopard with a single spear thrust." Yun Hu said with some relief.
He had taken Yunshi hunting this time to train her, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson himself and be saved by Yunshi. This made him feel both ashamed and relieved.
Grandpa Yun returned quickly, bringing back some Scrophularia, a good medicine for stopping bleeding.
"You're just embarrassing me."
He spoke as he processed the medicinal herbs. In front of Grandpa Yun, Yun Hu didn't dare to breathe loudly and obediently let the old man apply the medicine for him.
"Brother Chen Yang, we hunted two leopards this time, there should be one more on the island."
After leaving Yun Hu's room, Yun Shi spoke to Chen Yang. His face still held an excited expression; the thought of actually fighting a leopard still made him feel uneasy.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Well done. There are definitely still large carnivores on the island. It's impossible to clean them all out at once. Let's take it slow."
The leopard's carcass was handled by those who remained on the island. Yun Hu stayed at the camp to recover from his injuries, Yun Shi continued with the hunting group, while Hou Yu returned to the island with Hong Gui.
Guo Zifeng's new furnace is more than half completed and will soon be ready for smelting. He is very satisfied with the new furnace and can't help but show it off when he stays at the inn.
He was also very dedicated to the task of finding tea leaves. As the saying goes, one should love what one does. Guo Zifeng has been making tea for more than 30 years and can't live without it. Even if he can't bring the tea leaves out of the micro-world, he is willing to do his best to find them.
As for tea frying, Guo Zifeng is very experienced, so there's no need to worry. In terms of tea knowledge, everyone present combined can't match his.
Guo Zifeng's company's tea has been sold in the Micro World Inn, with good sales volume and reputation, and the two women have received a lot of commission as a result.
However, since the inn provides room and board and they don't go out much, they've been saving their wages and commissions from the past few months. Li Su'er and Jiang Yining think that if they work at the Micro World Inn for two years, they might be able to save enough to buy a house in Hangzhou.
