The project on the mountain is huge. Whether it is the more sturdy and spacious chicken coop or the barbed wire fence that surrounds most of the mountain, it will not be completed in a day or two.
In the next few days, Zhou Fengxia thought that her daughter had more important things to do, so she took the initiative to take on the job of supervisor.
She went up the mountain before dawn every day, keeping an eye on Master Wang's construction team and the young men who were pulling the nets, ensuring that everything was done in accordance with Yu Bai's requirements.
Zhou Fengxia was in high spirits. She didn't feel tired as she traveled through the mountains filled with a faint spiritual energy. Instead, she felt relaxed and full of energy.
As for the workers' meals and tea, they were still provided by the same skillful aunts from a few days ago.
They prepare delicious meals in different ways every day, put them in large thermos buckets and deliver them to the middle of the mountain. They are paid as usual and everyone is happy.
Although the work in the mountains is hard, the wages are generous and the food is good, so everyone naturally works hard.
Yu Bai, on the other hand, plunged into his own space, concentrating on tinkering with the brain-awakening and calming incense.
The reason for doing this is that the last batch of incense has sold out, and Qian Ying and others have already called.
She had just ground a new batch of carefully blended spices into powder and was preparing to mix them according to specific proportions and dry them in the sun when her second brother Yu Xia called her urgently.
"Hello? Xiaobai!"
On the other end of the phone, Yu Xia's voice revealed an irrepressible excitement and eagerness.
"Do you still have that refreshing incense?"
Yu Bai put down the work in his hands after listening to his second brother's tone that seemed as if he wanted to come out of the phone.
"Brother, don't be impatient. Tell me slowly. What's wrong? Are you running out of incense?"
"It's more than just not enough! It's like we've run out of life-saving elixirs!"
Yu Xia howled exaggeratedly on the other end of the phone, then lowered her voice, as if afraid of being heard by someone.
"Xiaobai, you don't know! I light a few of the incense sticks you gave me last time in class every day."
"Students' learning motivation has changed. In the third year of high school, the pressure was huge, and many students struggled to study. But now it's different."
"The school held a small monthly exam last week, and our class did quite well."
In fact, it is more than just good, it is simply amazing. It can be said to be the best in recent years.
"The principal even asked if I had developed any secret teaching methods."
Yu Xia became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice trembled a little.
"How could they know the secret? It's all thanks to your refreshing incense!"
"My classmates' speed and accuracy in answering questions have skyrocketed! I've never seen such enthusiasm for learning in all my years as a teacher!"
"Now that the incense is gone, would you mind getting some more for my second brother?"
Yu Bai smiled after hearing this.
"Second brother, I've been making a new batch of incense for awakening the mind and calming the nerves these days. I've improved the ingredients and proportions, and the effect will only be better than before."
"When do you need the time? Come to my house and get it in a couple of days."
"Really? That's great!" Yu Xia felt relieved, his voice full of relief.
Yu Bai hung up the phone with his second brother, but the smile on his face remained and he was in a very happy mood.
The improved incense for refreshing the mind and the incense for calming the nerves will only be more effective, and will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake for her many subsequent plans.
She turned her attention back to the medicinal herbs in front of her, her hands moving among the bottles and jars like a butterfly, picking up different amounts of medicinal powder with her fingertips, her expression focused and calm.
The space is filled with a unique fragrance mixed with plants and medicinal herbs, which is refreshing.
Just as she carefully added the last ingredient into the mortar and prepared to carry out the final mixing process, the half-closed door on the west side of the space, which was rarely opened on weekdays, slowly opened with an almost inaudible "creak".
A tall and straight figure walked in against the light. The familiar footsteps made Yu Bai know who the person was without even looking up.
"Xiaobai, are you busy?"
Han Yi's slightly worldly voice rang out in the quiet space, carrying with it a subtle sense of ease and warmth.
He walked a few steps to the long table opposite where Yu Bai usually processed medicinal materials, and casually placed a half-worn backpack on his shoulder on the ground with a slight muffled sound. Then he sat down on the mat opposite Yu Bai without any hesitation, looking at her with burning eyes.
Yu Bai was stirring several mixed powders carefully with a special jade spoon. Hearing this, he looked up and smiled: "I'm busy, you can pour yourself some tea."
There was a familiar casualness in her voice.
"Okay!" Han Yi grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, without any shyness at all.
He familiarly picked up a set of purple clay tea sets from the small table next to him, picked up the pot of warm spring water on the table, and poured himself a cup of clear yellow tea.
The air is filled with hot steam and the fragrance of tea.
Han Yi picked up the teacup, took a deep breath, an intoxicated look appeared on his face, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"ha--"
He sighed contentedly, a blush appearing on his dark face from the hot tea.
"The tea here is still delicious! So comfortable!"
He put down the teacup, looked at Yu Bai who was still concentrating on the work in his hands, and couldn't help but continue speaking.
"I've been saving the tea you prepared for me."
"But you know, once I get back there, my nerves are stretched like a bowstring, switching into battle mode 24 hours a day. How can I have the time, let alone the leisure to sit down and sip tea?"
There was a hint of emotion and helplessness in Han Yi's tone, but more of it was the gratitude and cherishment for being able to sit here safely and drink a cup of hot tea at this moment.
