Qian Mao felt something was off about his sister's gaze, and he asked, "What kind of look is that? Hmm? You little brat, do you want to die?"
Qian Duoduo wasn't afraid of him at all. What was there to be afraid of in this most stubborn man in the world?
She said, "Do you know that Northeast China has three treasures?"
Qian Mao snorted: "Ginseng, sable fur, and Ula grass—who doesn't know them!"
Qian Duoduo: "Then one of these three treasures is right in front of you, and you don't recognize it?"
Qian Mao looked at Qian Duoduo with suspicion, then at the plant that had just been growing red berries, and asked cautiously, "This is... ginseng?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "It's alright!"
Qian Mao immediately jumped up: "Damn, your luck is really against the heavens!" After saying that, he disregarded the proper distance between men and women, stepped forward and hugged Qian Duoduo. After letting go of her, he said seriously: "Duoduo, your third brother has something to ask of you."
Qian Duoduo was startled by her third brother's sudden enthusiasm: "What are you doing?"
Qian Mao put his hands on Qian Duoduo's shoulders and said, "An opportunity has been presented to my brother, Secretary Lu. We were both at a loss before, but Duoduo, your ginseng might be the key to opening the door for us."
Qian Duoduo seemed to understand what he meant and said, "Let's dig out this ginseng first."
Qian Mao said, "Okay, but we only have this small knife on hand. Will it hurt it?"
Qian Duoduo, remembering that her space had the ability to retrieve objects, said, "Third Brother, give me the knife. Go home and get a small shovel or something. I'll use the knife first and slowly dig the soil."
Qian Mao said, "You should go back. It's not safe for you to be here alone."
Qian Duoduo glanced at Qian Mao: "Aren't you afraid that if I go back alone, I won't be able to come back?"
Qian Mao paused for a moment. Duo Duo had indeed gotten lost in these mountains a few times when she was little. Although she was found each time, he really didn't have the courage to let her walk in the mountains by herself again.
He said, "Be careful, I'll be right back." Then he ran down the mountain.
In fact, the two of them had reached the halfway point of Mao'er Mountain. Although there were no large wild animals, the area was still sparsely populated, so they should be careful.
Qian Duoduo saw that Qian Mao had disappeared, and looked around but didn't see anyone. She reached out and grabbed the stem of the ginseng. With a thought, the ginseng appeared in her space. She quickly took the ginseng out of her space and then casually put it into her triangular pouch.
All of this fell into Lu Yuan's hands as he rested on a large tree not far away.
Lu Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly felt his superpower energy increase by one-thousandth. He immediately knew that Qian Duoduo was nearby. Qian Duoduo was a superpower user with spatial energy. He keenly noticed that after the one-thousandth increase in energy just now, it increased by ten-thousandths again, and twice.
This delighted him, as someone else had also used spatial abilities, and this person seemed to be the little girl who had sent her brother away not far away, then made the ginseng disappear and reappear.
He knew it, he knew it! This little girl was no ordinary person!
He knew it, he knew it all along. How could a little girl who could increase his supernatural power be a simple person?
He looked at the nonchalant little girl, already plotting how to get her to his side so that his supernatural abilities could increase. He knew that the growth of his abilities during this period was completely incomparable to that of the little girl in Beian Village.
He quietly felt his superpower energy increasing while he was in the tree. This power bank was really good! Although the increase was a bit slow, it was still increasing! Lu Yuan felt like he was about to cry. His superpower finally had a glimmer of hope for upgrading.
Qian Duoduo had no idea that she was being used as a power bank. She discovered a wild Sichuan pepper tree, which was the real reason she came to the mountain. She had seen this Sichuan pepper tree when she and Guo Ni came to the mountain to collect firewood a while ago. It wasn't ripe then, but now it looked ready!
When Qian Mao ran back, he saw that the original marked spot was now just a small pit, and there were traces of a knife scraping nearby.
"Duoduo, Duoduo!" Qian Mao shouted!
Qian Duoduo stood up from behind a pepper tree not far away: "Third Brother, stop shouting, it's deafening, or you'll shout something else!"
Qian Mao immediately felt relieved, then spat three times on the ground and stomped on it a few times: "The bad ones don't work, the good ones do!"
Qian Duoduo immediately waved to him and said, "Third Brother, come here quickly, I found something good."
Qian Mao walked over to where Qian Duoduo was and saw a large tree that reached his waist, with small fruits on it. He noticed that Qian Duoduo had already picked a small bagful and asked, "What are these?"
Qian Duoduo said, "This is Sichuan peppercorn, which can enhance the aroma and is used in spiced dried tofu."
Upon hearing this, Qian Mao also started picking them.
He asked, "Duoduo, I heard from Dad that the spiced tofu you made this time is especially delicious?"
Qian Duoduo immediately understood what he meant: "I'll make it again when we get back today, and then we'll buy a few pieces from the tofu shop, and I'll make it for you when we get home!"
Qian Mao immediately smiled: "That's great!"
The two brothers picked a large triangular bagful. Qian Duoduo looked at the bare tree trunk and inexplicably thought of Zhang the tofu maker's brilliant mind. She suddenly smiled.
