"Jiuyue, the gift you gave me this time, could it be another valuable item like ginseng?"
When Lin Jiuyue saw that Mrs. Gu guessed what gift she had given as soon as she arrived, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
When Mrs. Gu saw Lin Jiuyue's expression, she understood that she had guessed correctly.
"Hey kid, why did you give me such an expensive gift right away? The ginseng you gave me last time is still sitting in the mansion, unused, and you're giving me this again. How can I feel comfortable with this?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Madam, if you keep the ginseng well, it will last for quite some time. You can use it in water or stew it in soup. However, Jiu Yue suggests that you use it sooner rather than later."
Because there are so many ginsengs in my space, maybe I will give you some ginsengs next time I come to the general's mansion.
"Haha, listen to September."
After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she ordered the servants.
"Madam Gui, have someone slaughter an old hen and stew the ginseng."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Is Gu Chengyan's beautiful mother always so impetuous? She stews ginseng just like that?
However, I have already given the ginseng away. It is their business how they deal with it. I have no right to say anything.
After giving instructions to the servants, Madam Gu asked the nanny beside her to take out the ginseng locked in the cabinet and hand it to Nanny Gui.
Nanny Gui took the ginseng carefully, fearing that she would accidentally drop it on the ground.
Seeing Aunt Gui preparing to leave with the whole ginseng, Lin Jiuyue finally couldn't help but speak.
"Well, Madam Gu, do you intend to stew all the ginseng?"
Mrs. Gu blinked.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Using a ginseng to stew an old hen, isn't that a bit too extravagant? Even if you are rich, you can't use a hundred-year-old ginseng to stew an old hen!
Putting aside the question of whether there is financial support, even in terms of nutrition, it would be excessive, right?
This Madam Gu is really not afraid of getting a nosebleed from the supplements!
"Madam, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng."
When Mrs. Gu heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she said disapprovingly,
"I know that's a hundred-year-old ginseng, and it was you who gave it to me, September."
"Ahem, Madam, that ginseng is a hundred-year-old ginseng, which can be used to stew several chickens. If you use this ginseng to stew a chicken, I'm afraid it will be too nourishing."
Lin Jiuyue's words were a bit euphemistic.
When Mrs. Gu heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she said disapprovingly.
"Oh, it's okay. We used to stew a chicken with one ginseng stick. It won't be too much."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
The ginseng I used to grow is different from this one. This one was given to me by myself and is grown in this space. Compared to ordinary ginseng of the same year, its medicinal effect is more than double!
If you use up a whole ginseng root, you might end up taking too much.
"Haha, Madam, although ginseng is a tonic, it is also a traditional Chinese medicine. If you eat too much at once, it will not be good for your body. Jiu Yue still recommends stewing this ginseng in several batches."
This was not the first time Mrs. Gu had come into contact with Lin Jiuyue, and she knew that Lin Jiuyue was not a troublesome person.
I just don’t know why Lin Jiuyue insisted on emphasizing this matter again and again this time.
"Madam Gui, just do as Jiu Yue said and divide the ginseng into three portions?"
After Mrs. Gu finished giving the order, she was worried that she had said something wrong, so she turned to Lin Jiuyue and asked.
"September, can I stew it in three batches?"
Lin Jiuyue thought for a moment and spoke.
"How about? Divide it into five times."
In theory, it would be fine to stew chicken with this ginseng in three batches, but ginseng is produced in space, and Lin Jiuyue was afraid that the medicinal effect would be too strong and would over-nourish Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu was a little puzzled, but she still listened to Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Madam Gui, listen to Jiuyue and divide the ginseng into five parts. Use one part to stew the chicken."
When Aunt Gui heard what Madam Gu said, she looked up at Lin Jiuyue.
Originally, I just thought that Miss Lin was favored by the lady, so I was a little polite to her.
Now that I think about it, I'm lucky I've always been courteous to Miss Lin and never looked down on her.
If I had been rude to Miss Lin at the beginning, considering how much Madam likes her now, even though I was an old man who had been with Madam for many years, I would probably have been scolded by Madam.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."
After Nanny Gui left, Madam Gu stepped forward and took Lin Jiuyue's hand.
"September, I didn't expect you to know all this. I've never heard you mention it before."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and said without blushing or beating her heart.
"Haha, Ma'am, Jiuyue has been studying something related to pharmacology recently, so she knows a little bit about it."
Hearing Lin Jiuyue say that she was researching something related to pharmacology, Mrs. Gu looked at Lin Jiuyue as if she was looking at some national treasure.
"Hey, Jiuyue, how come you're so amazing? When I heard you say you brought your brother all the way to the capital to escape the famine, I knew you were extraordinary. I didn't expect you'd even start studying pharmacology after coming to the capital."
When she first met Lin Jiuyue and heard her son talk about Lin Jiuyue, Mrs. Gu's first reaction was to feel sorry for the dirty-looking girl in front of her.
Later, after Lin Jiuyue had packed up, Mrs. Gu was pleasantly surprised.
Later, when Lin Jiuyue gave her ginseng, her impression of her changed from a pitiful orphan to someone who was not "a common person".
This time, she heard that Lin Jiuyue was studying pharmacology. Mrs. Gu suddenly realized that every time she saw Lin Jiuyue, she would give her a different surprise.
"It's not that great, it's just a hobby in my spare time."
The noble ladies in the capital all have their own hobbies, whether it be tea art, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and song.
There was no girl who didn't have a special skill. If she didn't know anything, the high-ranking families in the capital would call her a "strawberry."
“It’s already impressive.”
Mrs. Gu was speaking the truth.
A girl from the countryside? Without the protection of her parents or relatives, she was able to bring her younger brother safely to the capital from the famine and establish herself there. This was already beyond 90% of the noble ladies in the capital.
Now she can still possess her own special skills like the noble ladies in the capital. Even I have never seen such a woman.
Lin Jiuyue felt a little embarrassed when Mrs. Gu praised her.
"By the way, Madam, Jiuyue has opened a grain store and is now selling grain in the store. This time, Jiuyue came here and brought some grain from the store for Madam to try."
Mrs. Gu frowned.
"You kid, just come here. Why do you always bring so many things? I feel embarrassed to let you come over again if you do this."
