"Stop talking nonsense, I don't need it." An Yan scolded him lightly.

The old man frowned and felt two sharp and cold gazes. He didn't dare to look at Li Rongsen for fear of being killed, so he said: "Yes, yes, one is enough. There is no point in asking for so many." After he said this, he dared to turn around and look at Li Rongsen. Seeing that he was eating with his head down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Qingqiu smiled, thinking that there were still people that the old man was afraid of.

The old man said, "It's just a pity for the forest. They gave it to us for free."

"Why bother? We can't take care of it all. Besides, we are relatives now. Just go over and tell us if you need anything." An Yan said to him.

The old man had no choice but to nod.

An Yan added: "Send a few people over to look after them. The accommodation they have there is much worse than what we have here. You have to make some arrangements."

"Okay, I understand." The old man nodded, and couldn't help asking another question, "That forest master, what's his name?"

"The forest master's name is Man Teng." An Yan told him.

"Yes, yes, what does he look like? How does he compare to Mr. Bili?" The old man was also purely curious.

But Li Rongsen's face darkened. He couldn't say it himself. He couldn't just brazenly say that he was much more handsome than Man Teng. And what should An Yan say? She didn't notice these things, let alone compare them.

Yan Qingqiu came out to save the situation and said, "Old man, you are confused. Is there any man in this world who is more handsome than Li Rongsen?"

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, his mouth twisted with joy, and he said: "Of course, of course, this person is worthy of my city lord. I hope no one can compare to him." After saying this, he left happily.

Li Rongsen couldn't do anything about this old man.

After finishing their meal, several people took a short rest. In the evening, An Yan found a piece of land in her yard and surrounded it with some small bricks.

Yan Qingqiu came over and asked her, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to make a piece of land to plant Ganoderma lucidum." An Yan told him the truth. She squatted down to check the soil quality and found that it was not very good, so she said, "I want to go to Huashe Mountain and bring some soil back."

"It's so troublesome." Yan Qingqiu said with a frown.

"Huashe Mountain is closer, so we don't have to go to the forest again." An Yan explained to him, and then said, "I originally thought that the soil in West City was similar, and I just needed to adjust it a little, but I found that it didn't work."

"What's wrong?" Li Rongsen also came out of his room.

"I'm going to Huashe Mountain to get some soil." An Yan said to him.

"I can just take two people with me to get some. Why go by yourself?" Li Rongsen said.

An Yan nodded slightly at first, and then quickly said: "You still don't have to go, stay in West City, it's almost dark."

Li Rongsen frowned, he didn't understand what he meant, but Yan Qingqiu understood. He knew what An Yan was worried about, probably because she was afraid that he would be robbed on the way, so he said: "How about this, I'll go get it, it won't take too much time, just leave some good food for me."

An Yan agreed to this and said to Yan Qingqiu, "Have you passed the driving test?"

"Of course, I'm a genius." Yan Qingqiu looked very proud, and then said, "Is it true that any kind of soil will do? There's no particular requirement."

"It would be best to use the soil around the precious medicinal herbs. Ask the old man for a big bag and bring back a few bags." An Yan instructed him.

Yan Qingqiu nodded and then went out to the yard.

At this time, the old man came over and almost bumped into Yan Qingqiu. He said, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You've come at the right time. I want to ask you for a few hemp rope bags." Yan Qingqiu said as he pulled the old man's wrist.

The old man said to An Yan, "I have asked the servants to start preparing dinner. When do you plan to eat?"

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, and wait until later," An Yan told the old man, and saw him being pulled away by Yan Qingqiu.

Li Rongsen said: "He has been very tired these past few days. I feel bad for that. It would have been fine for me to go there by myself."

An Yan did not tell him the truth. She just said, "Let's wait for him to come back before having dinner." Then she went to the pharmacy in front.

Li Rongsen also walked over behind her and asked, "Does Wen Jiaer need anything else for his medicine?"

"Nothing is needed. Now we are just going to make the medicine. The process is a little complicated, but it won't be a problem." An Yan had already walked into the house and saw someone coming to report, "The new head of the North Courtyard sent something and asked the city lord to accept it."

"Put it here." An Yan motioned for him to go out.

Li Rongsen looked at the thing on the table. It was a small box with a bow tied on it. He asked, "Do you want me to open it and take a look?"

"You can take it down." An Yan didn't even raise her head.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Just as Li Rongsen was about to open it, he saw two servants coming over with sweet soup and cakes. They said, "City Lord, Mr. Li, the old man asked us to bring some desserts so that we won't get hungry."

Four more servants came in one after another and filled the table with food.

The old man came in again and said to An Yan and Li Rongsen, "I know you guys will definitely wait for that sly guy to come back before eating dinner, so I asked them to make some snacks to fill your stomachs so that you won't go hungry."

"Can't you just relax a little? We are not guests."

"You are the most distinguished people in West City. Besides, I don't have the chance to order them around on weekdays. Now there is work to do. I am very happy, and they are very happy too." The old man said with a smile.

"Are all these enough to cover the expenses?" Li Rongsen asked him.

The old man was even happier when he heard this, and said, "It's enough, how could it be not enough? Since Mr. Li took over, our money has only increased, not decreased, and it is increasing. We can even have New Year's Eve dinner every day."

An Yan chuckled. It seemed that Li Rongsen had built up his own prestige in West City. Now that he came to the city, he was always addressed as "Mr. Li", which showed that he was well-connected.

"You guys continue with your work, I'll go to the back to order them around." The old man said this and left with a smile.

An Yan looked out the window and saw that it was already dark.

Night falls.

Li Rongsen motioned for her to rest for a while and said, "Come over and eat something first, we'll be busy later."

"You eat first, I'm not hungry." An Yan was only anxious to prepare the medicine. She was busy with the task at hand, weighing various herbs, and then sorting them out. She thought that if she finished this task earlier, it would be easier to do the next one.

"I'm not hungry either. I'll open this thing first." Li Rongsen said as he opened the box. It was something similar to pink crystal. He couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What is this?" He saw another note and read it out, "Mayor, please try this thing. If you think it's good, can you let Mr. Li help sell it?"

An Yan looked up, then finished the last bit of work at hand before washing her hands.

Li Rongsen said, "What on earth is this? Does he want me to help him sell this pink crystal?"

An Yan came over. She first sat down and drank a sip of the sweet soup. Then she took the thing from Li Rongsen's hand. She understood immediately and said, "Let's go to the yard."

"What?" Li Rongsen couldn't help but be surprised.
