Chapter 466 Treasure Mountain

I hope it's good news.

Qin Xiaomi, Jiang Dalang, and Grandpa Qin felt relieved after hearing this.

"Da Lang, let's go and meet the clerk at the gate." Grandpa Qin was very grateful to the clerk at the gate for his help and went to the west entrance of the village to meet him in person.

"Village Chief Qin." When Guan Shuli saw Grandpa Qin, he smiled and explained his purpose: "I came here today to talk about going into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs."

"Going into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs?" Grandpa Qin suppressed his doubts and invited the clerk and others to the guest room.

As soon as they sat down, Guan Shuli and Doctor You told the story.

Doctor You added, "Our pharmacy will pay for the herbs we find, so your family won't suffer any loss."

They all knew that Qin Xiaomi had bought the mountain behind Guicun as early as last year.

Grandpa Qin said, "This is not what I am worried about, but the dangers in the mountains. If Doctor You wants to go into the mountains, he must make good arrangements, otherwise there may be accidents."

He also talked about how when they first settled down last year, they went into the mountains to look for food and encountered wild boars, and some villagers were injured by them.

Doctor You smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. We doctors have all gone into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. We have encountered valleys, riverbanks, cliffs, snakes, insects, rats, ants and beasts. There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we will not go into the deep mountains. At most, we will only go to a place that takes two days to walk."

This is already a very short distance. In the past, they went into the mountains to collect herbs and often stayed in the mountains for ten days or half a month.

Grandpa Qin frowned and said, "No, no one has entered the mountain behind the ghost village for decades. We can't stay overnight."

The clerk Guan also disagreed: "Doctor You, staying in the mountains for four days is too risky... This is the first time to go into the mountains to collect herbs, so it is better to be safe and only walk half a day."

Doctor You said, "Half a day's journey? What good herbs can we find there? No, we need to walk at least a day's journey."

The clerk disagreed: "We still have to stay overnight. No, it's too risky."

The two sides started arguing.

Huang Yanglong was very happy to see this, and he added fuel to the fire: "Doctor You is right. What medicinal herbs can we find after walking for half a day? Guan Shuli is right. If someone dies while staying overnight in the mountains, who will be responsible? The Silifang has no money to compensate."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent. Doctor You glared at him, and the clerk Guan stared at him solemnly: "…I should ask Youyu to come and train you."

Fortunately, Yu Youyu was very skilled, even better than Huang Laowu, Xue Feng, and Xue Lei. Huang Yanglong hurriedly shouted, "Guan Shuli, you are a gentleman, how can you send your servants to attack!"

The clerk Guan did not argue with him and continued to persuade Doctor You: "How about this, we will walk for half a day the first time we go into the mountains. If we can't find any good herbs, we can stay overnight the second time. How about that?"

Doctor You finally agreed, and emphasized: "If I can't find good medicinal materials, you must allow me to go deep into the mountains."

The clerk Guan smiled and said, "Okay, Doctor You, don't worry."

Everyone discussed matters such as the number of people entering the mountain and the time of entry.

It was finally decided that Youyu, who was beside the clerk Guan, would accompany Doctor You and the master and his apprentice into the mountains to find their son.

In addition there are Jiang Dalang, Qin Ershu, Xu Erjun, Zhu Xuemo, Old Man Xun, Xiao Mutong and others from the Qin family.

Huang Yanglong made a big fuss, and finally he, Xiaobai, and Huang Laowu were joined in.

Manager Xue Yong was afraid that something might happen to him and the Xue family would have to explain it, so he asked Xue Feng to accompany him into the mountains personally.

After the discussion was over, the clerk said, "Village Chief Qin, Doctor You and his team have been in the mountains collecting herbs for the past three days. Thank you for taking care of them."

He added: "I may come to your house several times in the next three days."

He had to know the situation of Doctor You and others in real time, to avoid any accidents, otherwise his plan of teaching the villagers to dig medicinal herbs and sell them would be completely ruined.

Grandpa Qin: "It's not a bother. The clerk is doing a good job for the people. I should cooperate with him."

This is the truth...Grandpa Qin has lived his whole life, from the Central Plains to the place where he served in the army, and then to the Northeast. He has seen many officials and clerks who are greedy and cowardly. It is rare to find a good clerk like Guan Shuli who is willing to take risks to fight for the benefit of the people. "Old man, this is the red date kudzu flour cake that has just come out of the pot. Let the guests have a taste." Grandma Qin brought Aunt Xu in and brought in two plates of cakes, and smiled apologetically, "The farmers don't have much to show for the guests, so please don't be disgusted."

Guan Shuli didn't want to eat at first, but after hearing what Grandma Qin said, he was afraid that Grandma Qin would think too much, so he took the lead in picking up a piece of cake and eating it.

After taking just one bite, he smiled sincerely: "Aunt Qin Wu, this red date kudzu flour cake is very sweet and soft... Hmm? It's also filled with fried sesame seeds, which adds to the fragrance. It's delicious. Thank you for your trouble."

Red date cakes are not filled with stuffing, but Qin’s are filled with sesame seeds, giving people who eat the cakes a surprise.

"So delicious? Then this young master must try it." Huang Yanglong picked up the pastry, finished it in two bites, thought it was okay, so he took two more and gave one to Xiaobai.

Doctor You said: "Kuzo powder is slightly cold, but after adding red dates to neutralize it, it is very suitable for children and the elderly."

"As long as the guests like it." Grandma Qin was very happy and took Aunt Xu back to the Qin residence.

Qin Xiaomi was also eating red date and kudzu flour cake, and said to Qin Xiaogu: "Xiaogu, your idea of ​​adding roasted sesame seeds to this cake is very good, it tastes good."

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "It's already mid-afternoon, don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat dinner."

"Don't worry, auntie. I'm growing up now. No matter how much I eat now, it won't affect my dinner." Qin Xiaomi said. When she saw Grandma Qin coming back, she said happily, "Grandma is back. What did the guest room say?"

Grandma Qin gave her a glare and said, "Young girl, why do you care so much? Just follow the recipe and prepare the dumplings."

Don't tell her?

It doesn't matter, she has many eyes and ears and will find out soon.

Sure enough, before the clerk left, Zhu Yiqing came over and told Qin Xiaomi everything: "Mr. Xun said..."

Qin Xiaomi's eyes lit up after hearing this.

They are going into the mountains tomorrow, so she has to go and take a look. She has not yet surveyed her three thousand acres of mountain land, so she doesn't know what is inside.

But she knew that Grandma Qin would definitely not agree, so she found three lobbyists.

A quarter of an hour later, Guan the clerk, Xue Yong the steward, and You the doctor left.

Qin Xiaomi went to the guest house again and saw Huang Yanglong: "What's going on, Master Huang, tell me."

Huang Yanglong raised his chin, snorted, and then said: "Deputy General Liang, you still remember it, right? He was a tough guy who had experienced hundreds of battles and didn't shed tears even when arrows pierced his body. But when he saw the secret recipe pouch, his eyes were red, saying that your family is pure and kind, and is wholeheartedly loyal to the new emperor..."

Speaking of this, Huang Yanglong curled his lips... Qin's daughter and Uncle Qin are both extremely shrewd, not kind at all.

He asked again: "Do you know who else we met at Deputy General Liang's place?"

Without waiting for Qin Xiaomi to ask, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, that person is of noble status, I can't tell anyone else."

I don’t want to know anymore.

Qin Xiaomi: "Then don't talk about it, just talk about the secret recipes offered by our three families, but what are the chances of benefiting from it?"

"Tsk, you really don't know how to talk. You should praise me at this time." Huang Yanglong complained, and then said: "Originally, it was only 30%, but after Deputy General Liang guaranteed it, it is 50%. With the help of that noble man, it is 60%. In addition, we can slap the face of the noble family, so it is at least 70%. In addition, this is the right time, there is at least an 80% chance that our three families can be blessed by the new emperor."

That's good.

However, originally there was only a 30% chance?

Could it be that the new emperor of Wei is too upright in temper and extremely hates those who take advantage of opportunities?

Hey, she actually guessed it right. Emperor Wuxing has just this kind of temper.

So when he received the new dye secret recipe from the Qin, Xue and Huang families, he felt that although the Qin family was smart, they were too petty and he was a little displeased.

Fortunately, there was a noble person who spoke up for the Qin family, and the final result really turned for the better.
