Chapter 174: Growing Herbs in the Mountains



Xu Zhiyi raised his teacup and said, "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."

Fang Kai raised the teacup, everything was in the tea.

Fortunately, Gan Tiantian was only embarrassed for a moment and was laughing again afterwards.

I originally thought that the candidate for the quota had been decided, and after the village submitted Su Cheng's information, he could report to school after a while.

Who knew there would be a sequel to this?

"Have you really made up your mind? This concerns your future. Don't you regret it?" asked the village chief.

"No regrets! Sorry for bothering the village chief." The man bowed to the village chief and turned to leave.

The next day, the village chief informed the educated youth point that Comrade Su Cheng voluntarily gave up the opportunity to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and gave the place to Xie Tang.

Originally, Xie Tang was also the second choice of the village committee. Since Su Cheng gave up, the quota was given to Xie Tang.

When this incident happened, everyone at the educated youth site was shocked.

Luo Mei was even more jealous. Why didn't this good thing happen to her?

"Xu Zhiyi, do you think Su Cheng is stupid? It would be great if he could go to school instead of working in the wind and sun every day."

Gan Tiantian couldn't understand why going to college wouldn't have a better future than working all day.

"When the village chief said that, I saw he was quite happy. How come he changed his mind after one night?"

Xu Zhiyi calmly dried the herbs and said, "Who knows? Maybe they don't want to go at all."

This was a perfunctory remark, and only he knew the reason.

Gan Tiantian suddenly had an idea and moved closer to Xu Zhiyi, "Do you think it has something to do with Xie Tang? The last spot was given to her."

"Who knows." Xu Zhiyi clapped his hands after drying the herbs.

"Oh, I really want to know what's going on. It'll always be on my mind until I figure it out."

Xu Zhiyi glanced at the frantic Gan Tiantian and said, "I have an idea for you. When you return to the educated youth center, observe Su Cheng and Xie Tang more closely to see if they have any private interactions."

Gan Tiantian's eyes lit up, "Zhiyi, do you suspect they are dating?"

"They're not dating. It could be that Su Cheng likes Xie Tang and he's willing to give up his spot for her. Another possibility is..."

"What is it?"

"Xie Tang had some leverage over Su Cheng, and he was forced to give it up."

Gan Tiantian nodded in agreement, "I think the first possibility is more likely."

"Maybe." After the chat ended, Xu Zhiyi started to chase people away.

Gao Zhan had previously bought some medicine from Xu Zhiyi, but he didn't know what it was used for. She wrote to him asking him to make some more and the price was negotiable.

Xu Zhiyi didn't ask what he wanted from her, and naturally accepted anyone who could make money.

The medicine sent by Mr. Gao even alarmed a military hospital, and someone was secretly analyzing the ingredients of her medicine in an attempt to obtain the prescription.

After repeated experiments with poor results, he wanted to find the source of the medicine, but he couldn't find Xu Zhiyi for a while.

Xu Zhiyi drafted some able-bodied men and took Pei Yan and his younger brothers into the mountains to weed and clear the land.

Fang Hai was only excited to follow the two bosses into the mountains, but Zhou Shuan was different, as it was his first time in the mountains.

A few young men, without any weapons in their hands, dared to run into the mountains.

The further Zhou Shuan walked, the weaker his legs felt. It was definitely not because he was afraid, but because he was tired from climbing the mountain.

The young man is energetic and efficient in land preparation.

Before the sun set, a large piece of land was cleared behind the cave and divided into several small plots to facilitate the planting of different kinds of herbs.

Xu Zhiyi has almost collected all the seeds. Of course, growing Chinese medicinal herbs does not require so much manpower.

In order to reward the three hard-working people, Xu Zhiyi prepared everything including wild rabbits, pheasants and big fish.

After arriving at Pei Yan's secret base and processing the game, they lit a fire and started roasting it.

There were a lot of seasonings in the cave. When Pei Yan started, the aroma of barbecue filled the entire cave.

Apart from the crackling sound of firewood burning in the fire, and the occasional swallowing sounds, someone else's stomach was rumbling.

Everyone looked at Zhou Shuan.

Zhou Shuan pretended to be curious and looked around, as if it was not him whose stomach was growling.

Pei Yan handed the first roasted hare to Xu Zhiyi, who took it without hesitation and tore off a piece of the rabbit leg to feed it to Pei Yan's mouth.

Pei Yan was still flipping the other three in his hands, sprinkling some seasoning on them from time to time.

Suddenly, a rabbit leg appeared next to his mouth. Pei Yan saw that it was given to him by Xu Zhiyi, and he curled his lips slightly and took a bite.

After Pei Yan bit it, Xu Zhiyi let go.

The other two always felt that they didn't eat anything, but they felt a little full.

Xu Zhiyi began to enjoy her dinner. Well, A Yan’s cooking skills were as good as ever.

Seeing Xu Zhiyi eating with such relish, Fang Hai and Zhou Shuan felt their mouths watering like crazy and could only stare at Pei Yan's movements eagerly.

Quite impatient.

After Pei Yan said "OK," the two of them went to grab the roast chicken and fish they liked.

It was the first time that Zhou Shuan had eaten the game roasted by Pei Yan. It was really hard to imagine that Pei Yan had this skill.

Coming from the capital, even the coarse cloth and shorts he wore could not hide his nobleness. That ruthless and merciless Pei Yan in the black market was also such a good roast chicken expert.

I think other wild game must taste good too.

Zhou Shuan suddenly attacked and went towards Fang Hai's grilled fish.

Fang Hai was eating grilled fish with gusto when he didn't expect a hand to reach out from the side.

Originally, Zhou Shuan just wanted to pinch a small piece to taste it, but ended up tearing off a large piece of fish.

"Zhou, Shuan, Zi!" Fang Hai glared at him and shouted through gritted teeth.

Zhou Shuan moved swiftly and rushed several meters away.

"I just wanted to take a little to taste it, but who knew I'd tear off such a big piece."

"I don't care, you compensate me!"

Zhou Shuan stuffed the fish into his mouth. It was crispy and tender. No wonder Fang Hai had been staring at the fish since early morning.

"I've already eaten it. How about I give you a leg of this roast chicken?" Zhou Shuan held up the pheasant that he had gnawed into pieces.

"I want to eat your saliva, eat it yourself!" Fang Hai said, turned around and sat down to continue eating the grilled fish in his hand.

Pei Yan on the opposite side also had a grilled fish in his hand, and he fed it to Xu Zhiyi from time to time. The two of them ate while watching the show.

After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill and went down the mountain, it was already dark when they got home.

The fog in the deep mountains had not yet dissipated. A person was running in the forest. The corner of his clothes brushed against the weeds, making them slightly wet.

Xu Zhiyi came to the medicinal field they had cultivated yesterday and took the herbal seeds she had collected.

He scattered the seeds in different cloth bags in different medicinal fields. After scattering them, Xu Zhiyi sat cross-legged on the ground.

The herbal seeds began to sprout and grow roots like crazy, and continued to grow upward. It was visible to the naked eye that unused herbs were swaying in the medicinal fields.

The seeds were scattered too haphazardly, and the herbs growing close to each other grew wildly, as if competing with each other to see who would grow the best.

The sun shone down, and the bare land suddenly became green.
