Wife is an enemy general

001.

After seeing those people off, Li Mu took Guan Yu for a walk around here, and told him about the situation in the mountain.

The situation in this mountain is actually not complicated. The ducks usually have long-term workers to help them eat, and all aspects are done step by step. When the time comes, follow the previous habits, just throw the feed into the duck cage.

These ducks have also developed a habit, and they will surround them by themselves when the time comes.

Except that when the sun goes down in the evening, it is necessary to order all the ducks into the duck cages, and there is no need to be busy with other things.

The other thing is to pick up duck eggs. Picking up duck eggs has to be done several times a day, but most of them are not difficult.

Although some ducks in the mountains like to lay wild eggs, the long-term workers in the mountains know the few places where they often lay eggs.

The only thing to be aware of, is the situation with these ducks.

It is easy to raise ducks in the mountains, but if the ducks are not in the right condition, once they get sick or contract some disease, they will die in thousands at once.

If they died only once, then their busy work for the past few months would be for nothing.

This is a very patient job, not only time-consuming, but also very energy-intensive. Even if the duck is safe and sound, you have to put your heart into it every day, and you can't be careless.

"I have strengthened the fence later. Generally, animals can't get in and ducks can't get out. Don't worry, but occasionally you need to check it to avoid aging or being drilled by wild boars, wolves and dogs." Li Mu took a photo He patted the fence beside him.

There are not only wolves in this mountain, but also many other wild animals that can harm ducks, such as wild boars, dogs, and weasels.

Among them, the weasel caused Li Mu the most headache.

Because of their small stature and quick movement, the fence often cannot prevent those weasels.

"You're just here, so don't worry about these things. Stay in the mountains for two days first, and then slowly understand after you calm down." Zhong Xiuyuan said.

After this stroll, the few people walked in this mountain for nearly half an hour. Although the forest in the mountain is cool, it is inevitable that they will feel a little hot after walking down like this.

It was only after leaving like this that Zhong Xiuyuan discovered that the family's current property is already considered large.

It's not about how rich he is, but with so many mountains and a few acres of land opened up on the wasteland before, if he wants to visit all these places, it will take at least a day of walking.

"There's no need to rush this matter. I think I'll leave the matter of the duck to you in the future. Take your time." Li Mu might as well say something straightforward.

After wandering around the duck cage, Li Mu took Guan Yu to the peach blossom forest and jujube tree forest behind the mountain.

In fact, the duck cage is only a small part of his industry in the mountains, and the larger part is the fruit trees in the mountains behind.

After another quarter of an hour, several people walked along the mountain to the peach blossom forest.

Time flies by, and now it has been a few months since Zhong Xiu came back, and it has been a long time since the peach tree bloomed.

Now walking in the peach blossom forest full of peach trees all over the mountains and plains, in front of them are peaches that have changed color one by one, and the branches are bent down.

When the peach blossoms were blooming and thinning the flowers and fruits, Li Mu had already controlled the location and quantity of these flowers, but after seeing the peach trees full of trees ripen, Li Mu realized that he seemed to be a little soft-hearted before.

I didn't feel it when it was just a flower, but now I look at it again and find that the fruits are bearing one by one, so many that even the branches are a bit bent.

This batch of peach trees of his was bearing fruit for the first year, and the trunk of the tree wasn't very tall, and some branches were frightening to look at, for fear that the fruit would break the branches.

Fortunately, the weather is beautiful this year, there are no strong winds and waves, and the sun is good. Therefore, although there are a lot of peaches, the weight of each peach is quite enough, and there is no uneven size.

"Is it time to pick this peach?" Guan Yu followed Li Mu up the mountain, and as he walked, he looked at the fruitful peach trees beside him.

Although Guan Yu has always raised ducks in the mountains, he has never been in the fruit forest.

The flowers have a floral fragrance, and the fruit has a fruity fragrance. Walking in the peach grove, they can smell a faint peach fragrance, which makes people's index fingers move.

The same is obviously true for Li Mu. After walking up the mountain with a few people, he couldn't help it anymore. He reached out to the branch next to him and picked two big and red peaches. He handed one to each of them, and then gave it to himself. Pick one.

Zhong Xiuyuan held the red peach in his hand, and with some helplessness snatched it from Li Mu and was about to hand it to his mouth, "You can't eat like this."

Li Mu knew best what kind of medicine and fertilizer he had used for the peaches grown in his home, so he didn't even think about the peaches, just wiped them casually and fed them into his mouth.

"Peaches have hair, so they need to be washed." Zhong Xiu said far away.

Li Mu glanced at the stolen peach reluctantly, but said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu couldn't help shaking his head amusedly.

This Li Mu looked like he was doing great things with a calm personality, but sometimes it made people feel a little uncontrollable.

Zhong Xiuyuan took the peach in Guan Yu's hand again, and after looking around, he found a direction and walked over.

There is also a small stream in this mountain. The water flowing down from the mountain is not very far from the peach blossom forest.

Both he and Li Mu had stayed in the military camp, and many worse environments. Let alone washing the peaches, even if they fell into the mud, they could still eat them when they were really hungry.

But the situation is different now, and Zhong Xiuyuan doesn't want to see Li Mu tormenting his stomach like this.

"Let's go up the mountain." Seeing Zhong Xiu go away to help him wash the peaches, Li Mu swallowed, and continued walking behind the mountain with Guan Yu.

Behind the peach tree is a large area of ​​jujube trees. These jujube trees have already produced fruit once last year, but because it was the first year before, the fruit is not small but the quality is uneven. Li Mu picked some to sell, not Ideal.

The family's situation has improved this year, so he has taken care of the jujube tree more seriously. Looking up now, the whole piece of jujube is full of jujubes the size of a thumb.

Jujubes mature more than a month later than peaches. Now most of the jujubes have not changed color. It is quite lovely to see each one of them green and faint like stars in the sky.

"The fruit will be harvested in the mountains after a while, we may be busy for a while, please take care of the ducks." Li Mu said.

If it weren't for the fact that the peaches in this mountain were about to be harvested, he and Zhong Xiuyuan would have played on the road for a while longer, instead of coming back in such a hurry.

Counting the peaches this year, although it is the second harvest, it is the first year that a large number of peaches have been picked, and there are still many things to do.

Peaches are not like ducks. After a while, they will pick up duck eggs and sell them, and keep them for two more months.If the peaches are hung on the tree for a long time after the time for fruit picking, they will rot, fall off, and be eaten by birds.

So he had to find someone to help pick all the peaches as soon as possible, and then sell them, without wasting any time.

When the two walked half a circle in the jujube forest, Zhong Xiuyuan searched for it.

"This jujube is fine. If you can't sell fresh ones, you can also sell dried jujubes in the sun. They can be used as ingredients and medicines, but these peaches are in a hurry." Li Mu sighed while eating fresh peaches.

He ate peaches by himself. Li Mu chose the best, reddest and largest ripe ones when he was choosing them. After washing away the fluffy layer of hair on them, the peaches are now juicy and round.

After shaking off the water on it, the peach was big and thin. Li Mu bit it off, and the ripe peach oozes out sweet juice.

This peach has a lot of juice, which can quench thirst and satiate the stomach in this scorching summer. Even a big peach can make Li Mu feel full.

"Have you made a list of all the things you want? It's done. I'll go shopping at the foot of the mountain tomorrow and get ready." Zhong Xiuyuan said.

On the way back, they kept discussing about Tao Zi.

Although picking peaches looks simple, you just need to pick them off, but firstly, you need people, secondly, you need to store them, and thirdly, you need to find a market. It is not easy to accumulate all these things and complete them all at once.

"Well, I'll write it down at night." They just got home, and before they had time to sit at home for a while, they ran to the mountains again, and he didn't have time to write at all.

"En." Zhong Xiuyuan nodded.

To pick peaches, in addition to human hands, there must first be enough baskets and rags and straws for storage.

Needless to say, the baskets are used to hold the peaches, and the soft straw and rags are used to separate the peaches from each other to avoid collisions during transportation.

As long as the skin of a peach is a little bit broken, its appearance will be greatly reduced.

In addition to these, it is necessary to rent a carriage and cart in advance. Once the peaches are picked, they must be sent to various places to be sold, and they will be spoiled if they are piled up at home.

Although it can be stored in the cellar for a period of time, in this summer, even if it is placed in the cellar, it cannot be stored for long.

Walking all the way along the mountains, seeing that the sky was about to darken, the three of them walked slowly towards the mountain.

When they got near the duck cage, Guan Yu followed Zhong Xiuyuan to the medical hall at the foot of the mountain. There were more rooms in the medical hall, and there were only two or three rooms at Uncle Hong's side on the mountain.

Before he took Guan Yu to the mountain, he originally planned to let him stay for one night, and then take him for a walk in the mountain the next day. Now that he has finished walking around, let Guan Yu rest at the foot of the mountain for the rest of the time time.

Early the next morning, Li Mu made a list of the things he had written and sent them to the duck cage at the foot of the mountain to be taken care of.

Later, after Zhong Xiuyuan arrived at the duck cage, he took the list away and went to the town to purchase.

In the evening of the same day, Zhong Xiuyuan pulled a large carriage, and dragged a large pile of bamboo baskets and soft straw to the duck cage.

After Zhong Xiuyuan prepared everything, Li Mu also became busy and began to recruit people who could help.

002.

To pick peaches, the peaches that are all over the mountains and plains, it is impossible to rely on the hands of a few of them, so it is still necessary to invite help from outside as when thinning flowers and fruits.

After learning that Li Mu wanted to recruit someone to help, many people in the mountain and the town cheered up and became excited.

Ever since Li Mu hired people to help thin the flowers and fruits, these people have been waiting for this day.

Li Mu had invited these people to come up to produce flowers and fruits before. Although the total working time was only a few days, after such a period of time, they earned more than they did working in the field by themselves.

Moreover, Li Mu's job is actually quite easy, even if he has to put in some effort, it's still easier than digging the soil or carrying water under the sun.

As soon as the news spread, many people in the village came to ask Li Mu when it would start that night, and would they also come to help?

The people in these villages were very indifferent to him earlier, especially when he was an orphan with no father or mother, these people did all kinds of insane and selfish things.

Seeing that his life is getting better now, everyone fawns over him.

Even when talking about him in the town below the mountain, these people spoke with a sense of pride, as if there was such a powerful person in their village, and they were all proud.

For these people, Li Mu didn't care about them, he just tossed about them casually.

It's not that he is so magnanimous and kind, but that some people don't deserve your attention to him at all, and even giving him a look is a charity.

Rather than worrying about this kind of people and thinking about them all day long, it is better to treat them as if they do not exist.

Sometimes, when Li Mu saw these people approaching with smiles on their faces, he also felt a little ironic in his heart.

Since these people can come to him with the cheek and shamelessness to beg him, then he doesn't mind being generous and giving some of the leftovers to these people.

These are all secondary, Li Mu's answers to these people are all unified.

People in the town at the foot of the mountain who want to help, go to the medical center Zhong Xiuyuan to register on the roster, and those who want to help on the mountain, just come and register with him.

It took four or five days to find nearly a hundred people. After choosing an auspicious day, everyone followed Li Mu to the mountain.

Picking peaches is also very particular, and peaches cannot be picked casually.

When picking peaches, the most taboo is to pull them by force. Pulling the picked peaches by force has a high chance of damaging the appearance of the peaches and the branches.

So when picking peaches, you have to hold the peaches from the bottom with your hands first, and then use your five fingers evenly to twist the peaches gently clockwise.

The method of picking is particular about which peaches can be picked and which peaches cannot be picked.

Peaches won't be picked all at once, so pick them in batches.

Picking in batches, the ones picked that time must be relatively mature, and the ones that are not very mature must be kept.

Facing the cool morning light, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan called all the hundreds of people to the mountain, and carefully explained how to pick and what kind of peaches they picked.

After explaining all this clearly, let everyone start.

After Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan finished speaking, they walked among the crowd, looked at those around them, and corrected some people's mistakes.

This time they recruited hundreds of people, not all of them will go to the tree to pick peaches, but they will divide the work and cooperate to go through the process.

Some people went to pick the peaches skillfully, and some people held the ladder below and put the peaches in the basket by the way.

Some people screened peaches according to the method Li Mu said before, and put peaches of different quality and size into different bamboo baskets, and used straw to pad the bottom and separate the peaches for easy transportation.

The remaining young and strong ones carried the divided peaches to the duck cage at the foot of the mountain for storage.

On the other side of the duck cage at the foot of the mountain, because some duck food needs to be stored, Li Mu has opened a large cellar a few years ago, and there is also a storage room on the ground, which is just in use now.

Zhong Manlu also followed, and followed those young and strong men, recording how many bamboo baskets of peaches they picked.

In the weather of July and August, the mountains are bustling with activity, and in the fruitful peach blossom groves, the women in short-sleeved shirts are full of laughter.

After making sure that the people picking peaches on the mountain had slipped away from their work and that nothing would go wrong, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan also got busy.

The peaches had to be sent out after they were picked. They had already agreed with Master Qin when they went to Anfu's side. As long as the peaches were sent over, there would be someone on Master Qin's side who would resell the peaches.

Master Qin works as a middleman and earns a cheap commission.

As for the Qingmu Wharf, Li Mu has already said hello, he is now a well-known man in the name of Huangshang, and when he said that there is a batch of goods under his command, there are not a few people who come to curry favor , this product is also fast.

However, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan had to take care of these matters in person.

All accounts and human relations have to be handled by themselves.

This busy time lasted for a month, from mid-July to the end of August, and finally sold all the previous batches.

At the end of August, before everyone had time to rest or take a breath, Li Mu was already busy picking dates.

The green jujubes that were originally green and the size of a thumb on the mountains behind are already red. Standing in the forest and looking up, there are red stars all over the sky, full of colors.

Earlier, Li Mu thought about picking some green dates to sell, but he never expected that it would take more than a month to pick the peaches, which also delayed the time for picking the green dates.

Fortunately, dates are different from peaches. Peaches cannot be sold after a long time, but dates can be dried in the sun to make dried dates.

Picking jujubes is easier and simpler than picking peaches, but it is not so easy to pick all the jujube trees all over the mountains and plains.

To pick dates, you only need to find a bamboo pole and a large piece of cloth.

A few people pulled the cloth away, and a few people took the bamboo poles and patted it on the fruit-rich branches, and the ripe dates would fall one by one.

After the jujubes fall, they will be selected by people and packed in batches for storage.

After sending the last batch of peaches away, and picking all the dates in the mountain, after finishing their work, they sat together in the fenced yard on the mountain, looking at the round dustpans drying in their own yard, everyone's faces couldn't help Showed some satisfaction.

Satisfied, but also deeply exhausted.

In the past two months, they can be said to be crazy busy, they hardly touched the ground, and even had less time to sleep.

But it's good to be done with the work now, all the fruits have been picked, and the batch of ducks that have just been raised are all sold, and now the mountain is relaxed all of a sudden.

"I have to take a good rest..." Zhong Manlu, who had been tanned for the past two months, was paralyzed on the chair, and he closed his eyes and didn't want to move at all.

After two months of busy work, Zhong Manlu even felt that in the palace before, learning martial arts and art of war with those masters who raised eyebrows at him, he felt that he was very carefree.

No matter what, it won't be like it is now, it's going to tire people to death, and it's still hot and tired.

Zhong Xiuyuan wanted to smile and shake his head to say something about him, but at the moment he was fanning himself with a cattail fan, slumped on the stool and didn't want to move at all.

Not to mention Zhong Manlu, even he had the urge to go back and lead troops to fight.

At least at that time, he was watching others busy in the sun, instead of being drilled until he vomited blood.

The two sat slumped in chairs, facing Uncle Hong's house, and Li Mu was talking to several craftsmen who helped them repair the house.

After such two months, the house has basically been built, and all that remains is to see if there is anything else that needs to be added.

After Li Mu finished talking with those people, he looked at the sun basking in the sun, and quickly ran over from under the opposite eaves.

Li Mu entered the door, only half a foot stepped on the threshold, and he saw these two paralyzed people without any image in the room.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and he stood in front of the two of them, and when they both opened their eyes and looked towards him, Li Mu said quietly, "The craftsman said that the house is almost finished, and we will go down the mountain to buy furniture tomorrow."

"Oh, why is this..."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Zhong Manlu couldn't help but sighed.

He is so tired that he can't even lift his hands now.

He originally thought that after sending away the last jujubes and peaches, he should be able to rest on this mountain for a while...

In the end, he hadn't slept enough yet, so Li Mu told him that he had to be busy again tomorrow.

It sounds so simple to buy furniture, but they live in this mountain!

Deep in the mountains!

It is very, very troublesome to get all these things up the mountain and put them in the house.

What's more, after the furniture and other things are finished, they still have to tidy up the house and soften it up, let alone a month of work.

Zhong Manlu still had the strength to moan and complain at this moment, Zhong Xiuyuan glanced at the new house opposite, rolled his eyes, and directly pretended that he had passed out.

Diagonally opposite Uncle Hong's house, the original location of their home, the dilapidated small village house, has completely changed its appearance.

The house was built according to the appearance of those people in the town, but because they lived in this mountain, there were plenty of places, so after the local steward of Li Mu county government ran around, he enclosed a large area next to it.

Now it is built with green bricks and blue tiles, surrounded by a large courtyard, which looks a bit like a country house.

Standing in the room, looking at the two people who were paralyzed without any image, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Go and cut the watermelon that's frozen in the well." Li Mu kicked the foot of Zhong Manlu next to him, telling him to do something.

On the other hand, he found that stool and went next to Zhong Xiuyuan, and was about to paralyze his old bones.

Zhong Manlu shrank his feet. Hearing that there was iced watermelon to eat, he couldn't help swallowing, but when he looked at the sun that was too bright outside, he couldn't remember it at all, "Why do I always go?"

At this moment, Li Mu has imitated the posture of Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu, and closed his eyes comfortably.

"Let your brother go." Li Mu snorted and said.

"Brother, you go." Zhong Man threw the pot away.

Zhong Xiuyuan listened to the conversation between the two, but was not ready to move at all, "You are the youngest, of course you go."

"You're still the oldest one. I usually do things when you don't want to move. It's your turn to go brother today." Zhong Manlu stepped up lazily.

Zhong Xiuyuan thought for a while, and opened his heavy eyes with a breakthrough against all odds. He glanced at the bright sunlight outside, and the next moment, all his energy disappeared instantly, "... Li Mu, you go. "

"I'm tired, I just lay down, you can figure it out." Li Mu didn't do it. Although he also wanted to eat watermelon, how could he lie down so comfortably?

"Anyway, I'm not going." Zhong Manlu quit, "Brother, you go."

"Xiaolu, you are still young, you should be more active..." Zhong Xiuyuan closed his eyes and remained motionless.

"It's usually me..." Zhong Manlu felt that his brother had changed. His brother loved him so much before, but now he doesn't love him at all.

"You go……"

"Don't do it."

"You should go..."

On a scorching summer afternoon, the cool breeze blows through the hall, bringing in bursts of coolness. The three of them slumped in the room without any image, and no one wanted to move.

003.

If you pay, you will be rewarded. They have been so busy for two months, but they have made a fortune.

Excluding those who bought new furniture, there are still a lot left.

This amount of money is enough for them to buy another farmyard in Anfu or Qingmu.

If it was a few years ago, no one would have thought that one day they would be able to earn back a small courtyard within two months, but now the money is actually in their pockets.

After spending more than half a month arranging the furniture and other things in the new house, Zhong Xiuyuan thought about going to the foot of the mountain to find someone, calculated the good times, and decided to choose a date to move in.

Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan didn't really believe this, but they did as the Romans did, they would live here for the rest of their lives, and move to a new house, even if it was just for celebration.

Housewarming is a happy event. Logically speaking, it is necessary to send out invitations to entertain relatives and friends, and to have fun.

Li Mu took the wedding invitation bought by Zhong Xiuyuan, but for a while, he was in a difficult situation.

Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu didn't stay here for a long time, and because of their special status, they were always very cautious, so they didn't have many friends around them.

After all the calculations, the only ones who could be invited were those people Li Mu knew in business, or only Master Qin.

Li Mu is not going to invite business people. If he wants to invite, there must be many people who come for his name as an imperial businessman.

But it took a long time to move to a new house in this mountain, and they were exhausted before, so now they have nothing to do with them.

And if only master Qin is invited, it seems a little bad.

Xia Jingming, Bai Osmanthus, and the Su family were coming from the mountain, and the workers must be at the same table. It would be a bit strange if Master Qin was inserted in such a situation.

Li Mu was thinking about how to write this invitation, and who to send it to, when an unexpected visitor came to this mountain.

The people who came were led up the mountain by Guan Yu himself, and they were the old and the young.

Not only Li Mu, but even Zhong Xiuyuan were a little surprised when they learned that these two people had come to the mountain again.

They thought that this person must have left and would definitely not come again, but they never thought that this person would come to this mountain again after wandering outside for two months.

When Li Mu rushed to his home from the foot of the mountain, the two of them were already sitting in Uncle Hong's house with their old gods.

After entering the door, seeing these two people, Li Mu cupped his fists at the elderly one, "Excuse me..."

"How is the duck now?" the old man cut to the chase.

After he left this mountain before, he went to other places for a circle, but after this circle, he still couldn't find any species that could be equal to this tribute duck, so he came back here again.

This kind of white-haired duck has been a tribute for a long time. For so long, it has not been replaced by other species. big factor.

Li Mu shook his head, "Now they are still a flock of half-grown ducks. If we want to wait for them to grow up, it will take at least two months."

During this period of time, although he has been busy harvesting fruit in the mountains, the ducks have been hatching and taking care of them according to the schedule, but just like the previous situation, these ducks grew to half-sized after hatching. , then stopped completely.

The nearly one hundred ducks that hatched behind him are all still a flock of fluffy half-sized ducks.

Hearing Li Mu's words, the old man was a little disappointed.

He originally thought that if he came here again after two months or three months, this duck should already be able to see hope.

"Master, let's go!" The young one immediately said, "There are so many ducks in the sky, why don't we go to the south again?"

After a short pause, he said again: "Actually, I think the duck that Boss Shi recommended before is not bad. It is a good one in all aspects, and the key point is that the quantity is guaranteed."

The old man was a little tempted by what the young man said. He stood up and hesitated for a moment before going out the door.

When he walked past Li Mu's yard, he stopped and turned his head to look at some things on the ground beside him.

It was a bunch of thorny green things that were drying in the round dustpan. They were oolong heads that Li Mu picked from the mountains in spring.

Oolong head is the young shoots that grow on the oolong head tree every spring. It is a rare and precious wild vegetable that can be used as both medicine and vegetables.

This thing can be eaten fresh, dried or pickled, because it has a strong medicinal smell, and it is a very special and unique wild vegetable.

There is nothing in the mountains and plains that Li Mu will let go of, so he will naturally not let go of this delicious, fragrant and tempting oolong head.

Originally, Li Mu took it out in the morning to prepare for cooking at night, so he washed it and put it here.

"You made this yourself?" The old man took two steps forward and took a look at the dish.

Oolong head is a very rare and precious wild vegetable. It is not much in quantity and has medicinal value. More importantly, it only grows once a year, and it takes seven or eight months to eat it once.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded. He knew that the person in front of him was the imperial chef, so he looked at him with a bit of guard.

What is a royal chef?Isn't that just a cook who cooks food, a chef who cooks stares at his ingredients, what else could be the reason?

"The color is good, I can see that I have put some effort into it." The old man nodded after looking at all the oolong heads.

Li Mu looked at him with more wariness in his eyes, the oolong head was completely gone in the mountains at this time.

He himself ran all over the whole mountain before, and only found a little bit. He saved it for such a long time, and now there is not much left.

"Is there any more?" The old man's last words were really aimed at this oolong head.

Just as Li Mu was about to speak, Zhong Xiuyuan who was on the side had already taken a step ahead of him and said, "There are still some."

Looking at Li Mu who stared wide-eyed as if betrayed, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Xiuyuan's lips, and there was love and affection in the depths of his eyes.

This person is the imperial chef, and now he is in charge of selecting tributes. Zhong Xiuyuan still hopes that he can list the duck they raised as a tribute. If he can, the profits will be considerable.

"Then give me some time!" said the old man.

"I don't sell this stuff, I eat it myself." Li Mu looked reproachfully at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him, feeling distressed all the time.

Zhong Xiuyuan turned his head and whispered in Li Mu's ear, "Give him some, and next spring I will accompany you to pick more in the mountains." This man just couldn't let go of eating here.

After hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but he was still a little bit reluctant.

Moreover, oolong head is only found in very deep mountains, and it is generally rare even in the market, and even if it is available, the price is quite high. Now that he is suddenly asked to sell it, he doesn't know how to ask for a price.

Before Li Mu could open his mouth, the young man next to him started scolding, "I don't know how to flatter you! Do you know who my master is? It's your luck that he likes your stuff. If you don't sell this stuff today, you have to sell it. If you don't sell it, be careful and I will ask someone to question you!"

Listening to the young man's words, the faces of the few people except him turned black instantly.

"Look at who you are, before my master didn't care about you, it was because he was big-hearted, don't think we dare not do anything to you, shameless." The young man cursed.

"Shut up!" The old man opened his mouth before everyone else, and scolded the young man.

This person is the most talented among his current apprentices, so he took him out for this trip, but along the way, he has already caused him a lot of trouble.

"But, master..." The young man still felt a little wronged.

They were from the palace, but they were the imperial cooks who were in charge of the emperor's food and drink. These people clearly knew their identities, and they didn't bow down and serve them carefully, but they dared to show their faces.

"You have the final say, or I have the final say?" The old man frowned and looked at the young man.

"...You have the final say." The young man was very anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of his old master, so he could only swallow his anger.

But even though he was reprimanded by his master, when he lowered his head, he still looked up and glared at Li Mu, his eyes full of warning.

Seeing that the young man refused to accept discipline at all, and dared to warn Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan frowned instantly.

His eyes suddenly became icy cold, and a strong murderous aura came out of his body, and his sharp eyes swept across the young man's face fiercely.

The young man who was quite arrogant at first took a step back in fright, his face was instantly pale and bloodless, and there was a bit of panic in his eyes.

At that moment, Zhong Xiuyuan's cold murderous aura washed over him like a wave, making his hands and feet feel cold like ice.Not only his hands and feet were cold, but his heart seemed to be firmly shackled, unable to breathe.

Zhong Xiuyuan was originally a person who had stayed in the military camp, so the murderous aura on his body was something that a person who had never been on the battlefield could bear.

Coupled with the fact that he has injuries on his face now, and now that he has put away his smile and his eyes have become cold, his whole person is like a life-threatening Rakshasa crawling out of hell, which makes people tremble.

Li Mu glanced at the people next to him, and then at the young man who backed away in fright. He closed his mouth that was just about to speak.

"Don't be offended, you two, young people are ignorant." Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan's aura, the old man's expression changed for a while, and then he became more polite, "If it's really inconvenient, then forget it."

After finishing speaking, the old man glared at the young apprentice next to him, and prepared to take him down the mountain.

Watching the old man walk away, Li Mu suddenly said, "I can give you some of these things, but I don't want money, there is only one condition."

The old man stopped in his tracks and looked back at Li Mu. He had no idea what was sold in Li Mu's gourd.
