An Shuyi looked at her father in surprise, almost unable to react. "Dad, are you serious? You're letting us go out to play? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The surprise was so unexpected that she was caught off guard. Although her father had a good temper and was a refined middle-aged man, he never allowed her and Huahua to come home late, let alone stay out overnight.
But now he actually agreed to let them go out and have fun. Although he would have to take Yu Bai and the other two with him, it wouldn't make much difference, since they were going to go out and have fun together anyway.
The others were also somewhat surprised to hear this, but after thinking about it, they realized it was normal.
Dad ate the apple and said impatiently, "Just tell me if you're going or not. If you're not going, stay home."
He had already agreed, but this girl still didn't believe him. If he had known it would be like this, he shouldn't have agreed to let them go.
An Shuyi nodded vigorously, "Yes, of course we'll go, Dad, you can't go back on your word. We'll go play for a while after dinner tonight and come back early."
Great! I can finally go out and have fun without worry.
Seeing her happy expression, the others also smiled.
Aunt An said, "Didn't you take out the meat? Go out with your second brother later and bring it back. Put the fruit in your father's study so it's convenient for us to eat."
She wasn't very interested in meat, but she could enjoy fruit. Not only did it taste good, with a strong apple flavor, but most importantly, it had a wonderful aroma that made her smell sweet even when she was talking.
No matter how many times she brushes her teeth a day, she always feels that her breath smells bad. What she fears most is having bad breath when talking to others, and she has to drink mouthwash every time.
The effect was only so-so, but this fruit was different. After eating it, there was a refreshing fragrance in her mouth, and she wasn't afraid to talk to others or get too close.
An Shuyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go out with my second brother later and bring the meat back. I'll put two of each kind of fruit in Dad's study, is that alright?"
"Isn't that too much? Just one of each kind is enough. We can put more in after we've finished eating them, otherwise they'll spoil. What a pity, honey. Can your warehouse keep things fresh?" Mom asked.
"Of course, time inside is like a fixed time. No matter what you put in, it will be the same when you come out."
"That's good. I was worried that the fruit would spoil if it was stored in your warehouse. That would be such a waste. This warehouse is really good, it's amazing."
"It's quite mysterious, but the reason we were able to live well in ancient times was all thanks to the warehouse and the system's cheat codes. Mom, I'll get you some medicine later to regulate your body. It's really great."
"What kind of medicine is this? Don't just give your mother any random medicine, or she'll get sick from taking it," said An's father from the side.
An Shuyi turned her head and said, "Dad, how can you not trust your daughter? The medicine in my warehouse is made from all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and the prescriptions are produced by the trading system. The quality is absolutely guaranteed."
“When we knew we could come back, we spent several years searching for medicinal herbs. After we found them, we gave them to the village doctor to make into pills. Hua Hua and I were able to go to war even when we were over fifty years old, all thanks to this medicine.”
"Do you know how precious medicinal herbs are? Ginseng, wild ginseng that's hundreds of years old, as well as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, no matter what kind of medicinal herb it is, the age of the herbs is not low, how can the medicine be bad?"
An's father still didn't believe it. "You described those medicines as so good, but they've already been made into pills. Who can tell that they're hundreds or even three hundred years old? You've never seen ginseng that's been around for hundreds or even three hundred years."
In all these years, he has only ever seen one wild ginseng that is over two hundred years old. Of course, he has seen some other medicinal herbs, but none of them are very old.
These wild animals are so rare that they are priceless and unavailable even if you have the money.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Xia Hua said, "Uncle, don't disbelieve me. Yu Bai and Yu Mo brought a lot of wild ginseng, as well as lingzhi and other precious medicinal herbs today."
“One of the ginseng roots is over nine hundred years old. In a few more years, it will be a thousand-year-old ginseng. My brothers have seen it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”
In her and Shushu's warehouse, there are still a few ginseng roots that are quite old, but none of them are over nine hundred years old; they are all around seven or eight hundred years old.
Dad turned to his two sons, and seeing them nod, said, "You two lads, go and get the things they brought today."
Although it's a bit impolite to open a gift in front of its owner, he couldn't care less about that now. He had to see if it was real. He couldn't even imagine a ginseng that was over nine hundred years old.
An Shuheng and An Shucheng nodded, went to the storeroom to bring all the gifts back, and then sat at the coffee table in the living room.
An Shuyi reminded him, "Dad, put the biggest ginseng in the longest box."
These boxes are all made of huanghuali wood, specifically for storing the shopkeepers' medicinal herbs. Ginseng is prepared and then placed into the boxes.
The other less precious medicinal materials were made of Phoebe zhennan wood, because there was too little Huanghuali wood, so they had to find an equally precious wood to substitute.
"I know!" Dad took the longest box and removed the outer bag. "Is this huanghuali?"
As soon as I opened it, I smelled a fragrance. But isn't it too precious to put ginseng in a box made of rosewood? Shouldn't it be kept as a treasure or made into something else?
"It's huanghuali wood. The other medicinal materials that aren't as precious are made of golden nanmu wood because huanghuali wood is too hard to find."
“Golden Phoebe wood, daughter, haven’t you ever thought about making this wood into something else?”
An Shuyi asked in confusion, "Other? What? A bed? But we have one. We made one out of wood because we didn't have a suitable box to store the ginseng. Although wood is precious, we can still find it."
"My and Huahua's bed is made of Phoebe zhennan wood, a canopy bed, but unfortunately we didn't bring it. It's such a pity."
They remembered to take all sorts of things, but forgot about the bed. What a nice bed! It would be so comforting to have it at home.
Seeing the regret on her face, Xiao Yubai said, "Wife, no, Shushu, I can make a canopy bed, and there is this kind of wood in that little world, especially large ones."
"If you like it, when my older brother goes next time, I'll go with him and cut some wood to make you a canopy bed."
Cheng Yumo nodded, "Yes, I saw it too. Huahua, do you like it? I'll go with you. We can cut one down and bring it back. That would be enough to make you a canopy bed. But I don't know how. You can learn from Yubai."
He can get anything his wife likes.
Xia Hua shook her head, "Shu Shu and I won't go with you. You won't be able to bring back any wood. I'll just give up. I can sleep in any bed. But Shu Shu likes it. When you go, bring back a tree and make one for her."
