Chapter Nine: Herbs Detected



Lin Qixia served noodles to everyone and was asking He Zhilan to help her carry them to the table by the kitchen door.

“Your sister cooked these noodles, come and eat,” He Zhilan said to her.

Upon hearing that Lin Qixia had cooked the noodles, Lin Jiudong snorted, "I won't eat it! I'm afraid she'll poison me!"

However, the next second she saw that there was an egg in the bowl of noodles her sister-in-law brought out.

"Eggs? We don't raise chickens, where would we get eggs?" When she saw that it was egg noodles, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Mind your own business. If you want to eat, shut up and come eat. If you don't want to eat, get lost," Lin Qixia retorted irritably.

Lin Jiudong was speechless for a moment after hearing her words, and looked at He Zhilan with a frustrated expression.

He Zhilan placed the noodles on the outside table, glanced back at her, and said, "If you want to come and eat, don't say anything."

My little niece was eating heartily at the table.

Lin Jiudong looked at it and became more and more tempted. After thinking for a moment, she simply walked over and said, "They must have bought it with the money from selling my embroidery. Why shouldn't I eat it!"

As she spoke, she walked over to the table and sat down.

Lin Qixia had already served her a bowl of noodles, not a single bit less.

"Eat up, little auntie, the noodles your big auntie cooked are so delicious~" Lin Yi said to her as she enjoyed her meal.

Lin Jiudong snorted: "It's just a noodle dish, how delicious can it be?"

Although she said that, she quickly and impatiently picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

I haven't had noodles in a long time, and I've almost forgotten what flour tastes like. But now, as I put a big mouthful of noodles in my mouth, in addition to the salty taste, there's also a faint sweetness from the flour filling my mouth.

"Mmm." Lin Jiudong couldn't help but sigh as she enjoyed the delicious food.

This immediately drew the attention of He Zhilan, Lin Qixia, and Lin Yi, who were standing nearby.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lin Jiudong cursed angrily, his face turning slightly red.

Lin Qixia chuckled: "It's nothing."

Seeing her "it smells so good!" reaction was quite amusing.

She was in a good mood and picked up her bowl to eat her noodles. She squinted her eyes as the noodles entered her mouth.

In the past, she would never have cared about such bland noodles, but now, after only one day of wearing them, Lin Qixia already feels very happy.

Especially since she had been hungry for a long time, everything she ate tasted delicious.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Lin Qixia was finally satisfied.

When Lin Qixia returned to her room to rest that evening, she fetched water to wash herself and wanted to change her clothes, only to find that she didn't have many clothes in the room.

Moreover, since the original owner was still growing, those clothes were no longer a good fit, and they were too tight and uncomfortable to wear.

It's clear that the original owner's family knew this too, and had already made several alterations. However, there's only so much fabric left, and it's no longer wearable after any more alterations.

Therefore, while lying in bed, Lin Qixia was still thinking about where to find some things to trade with the system tomorrow.

After all, I only have 3 gold coins left, and I don't have any money to buy other supplies.

The next day, early morning.

"Ooh ooh ooh—"

Lin Qixia was woken up by the loud crowing of a neighbor's rooster.

After struggling to get up, she stretched her aching body and cried out in pain, "Ouch! What's the difference between this hard, broken bed and sleeping on the floor!"

She missed the soft, comfortable Häagen-Dazs mattress in her modern bedroom.

[Swiss Hästens mattress, valued at 1 million gold coins, would you like to purchase?]

A system notification sounded in her mind.

Lin Qixia: "..."

Does she not even know if she has the money to buy this broken system?

Lin Qixia pinched the bridge of her nose, put on her coat, and got out of bed.

In short, this is only my second day in this other world, and I still have a lot to do. I can't let this idiotic system affect my mood!

"Good morning, sister-in-law." After leaving the room, Lin Qixia saw her busy in the yard and greeted her.

He Zhilan turned around and looked at Lin Qixia in surprise, saying, "Xia'er, you got up so early today?"

Normally, you can't wake him up until the sun is high in the sky, but he's been unusually diligent today.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you also get up quite early. I should learn from you~" Lin Qixia replied with a smile.

He Zhilan took out the wild vegetables that hadn't been dried yesterday and spread them out in the winnowing basket to dry.

Seeing this, Lin Qixia went over to help and asked her, "Sister-in-law, the basket you used before was quite nice. Could you make a few more?"

She had noticed that the hand-woven basket was very exquisite; otherwise, it wouldn't have been worth 8 gold coins.

Lin Qixia naturally thought of this way of making money immediately.

He Zhilan shook her head upon hearing this and told her truthfully, "That basket was made for me by your older brother. He is not in good health now, so we can't let him overwork himself."

"I see." Lin Qixia was somewhat disappointed with this answer.

It seems we need to find another way.

Lin Qixia decided to go up the mountain, after all, this is the first thing that protagonists in farming novels, especially those who have transmigrated, must do after transmigrating.

So, after finishing breakfast, Lin Qixia packed her things and went out.

The weather is great today, sunny and perfect for going up the mountain.

Lin Qixia went out and headed towards the village entrance, but she was stopped by a strange young man not long after she left.

"Lin Qixia, stop right there!"

Lin Qixia originally intended to walk around him and leave, but the man called out.

"Is there something you need?" Lin Qixia turned to ask him.

The young man was taken aback by her aloof reaction, then his face turned sneer: "What are you pretending for? I know you were the one who led A-Yu up the mountain yesterday, almost causing her to get into trouble!"

"Oh." After hearing these words, Lin Qixia roughly guessed the identity of the boy in front of her.
