Chapter 653: Headed Home

't upset your stomach if you eat too many. They can last through winter like cabbage and can even be fed to horses. In short, both are good things!"As she spoke, she brought a piece of tender corn to..."What good fortune has befallen us, what lovely flowers are they selling at the Hundred Flowers Garden again" Li Laotai teased her son as she pulled him down to sit.

Li Laoer waved his hand and said to Jia Yin, "Fu Niuer, the people you sent to the south have returned. They brought a convoy and are already at the gate!"

"Really" Jia Yin excitedly jumped up, quickly tidied herself up, and called Shui Ling before running out.

Li Lao Tai was thinking about it, and said to Wen Fu Ren and Hui Niang: "Let's go and see the excitement. Those people from Lao Hei are all capable, who knows what good things they found in the south..."

Having said that, she again instructed He Mama, “Call Wenjuan over too. This child spends her days eating and sleeping. If this continues, she’ll become quite overweight, and it won’t be easy for her to give birth to a large baby.”

"From now on, I can often take her out and about."

Everyone nodded, put down what they were doing, and hurried to go outside.

Wenjuan was indeed sleeping on the kang, her face still flushed. She was wrapped in a thick quilt by He Ma Ma and shyly smiled while following the others.

Jia Yin had already welcomed Lao Hei and his motorcade at the door, a full dozen carriages.

Lao Hei and they went out for two months, their faces tanned dark, and they also lost weight, but their eyes were shining brightly.

Each of them smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and were covered in dust from their travels.

"Lao Hei Shu, you guys have worked hard!"

Jia Yin didn't look at the things in the car first. She sized up Lao Hei and the others, making sure everyone was present and accounted for. Only then did she feel relieved.

Lao Hei and the others had lived for half their lives. Seeing the young master like this, their hearts were filled with warmth.

The young master always puts their safety first, this is not fake.

Lao Hei led thirty men and bowed in unison, "Your Highness, we are back. We have fulfilled our mission!"

Jia Yin personally helped the old men, including Old Hei Shu, who were standing at the front, and said, "It's good that you are all back safe. Old Hei Shu, you all worked hard! Go back to Er Cun first to wash up and have dinner, then come back later to unload the goods."

"No, no, Miss, we should unload first!"

Old Hei quickly waved his hand and smiled, saying: "County Princess, you don't know, this time we found a lot of good things, delivered them all quickly, and we feel at ease. "

"On the road, for these precious things, we were truly thinking about them day and night. Now that we're home and have delivered the items to the princess, we can finally sleep soundly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Laotai and the others came out.

It was inevitable that we had another round of greetings and pleasantries.

Then Lao Hei asked Jia Yin to check out the first car, "Your Highness, we originally planned to gather information and collect things along the way. But by chance, we met a merchant who told us that there was a local medicinal herb similar to what you need in Yunzhou Prefecture, so we went straight to Yunzhou."

As expected, we found wild ginseng there! We loaded a truck with the dried herbs and dug up dozens of seedlings to plant in pots. We carefully guarded them on the way back, and surprisingly, not one died. They are all here now.

Jia Yin took out a piece of ginseng from the box, about the size of her palm, looking very ugly.

She looked at the medicinal herb seedlings again, excitedly nodding her head. "Old Black Uncle, this is the medicine I'm looking for! Without saying anything else, bring back this one, and your trip won't be in vain."

Lao Hei and the rest of the men were happy, they had overcompleted their master's task.

Lao Hei quickly led Jia Yin to look at the rest of the vehicles. They were packed with specialty medicinal herbs from Yunzhou Prefecture, such as Tianma, Huangjing, Baiyao, and even Rejuvenating Grass.

They weren't too familiar with these herbs, and were afraid of missing anything, so they brought finished products, as well as herb seedlings and seeds for almost every kind.

Initially, the black soil that Jia Yin prepared for them played a crucial role.

Just plant the medicinal herb seedlings and keep them warm along the way. Even if you don't water them a few times, none of the medicinal herb seedlings will die.

This was an unexpectedly bountiful harvest, bringing great joy to Jia Yin.

Lao Li followed along to watch the excitement. Although she didn't understand what these herbs were used for, as long as the plump little girl was happy, they were happy too.

As a result, before Jia Yin could speak, he sent the things to the back room to warm up. To everyone's surprise, Dr. Zhang actually came running in, smelling the aroma of medicinal herbs in the air.

The old man looked over the several carts of medicinal herbs, from beginning to end. He was so excited that he danced with his hands and feet, almost going crazy.

"Hahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich! There's not only immortelle herb but also Tianma and Baiyao! It's like sleep came with a pillow. My new medicine for injuries is definitely going to be a hit!"

He shouted without any hesitation, "Hurry, get a car and bring it to me as fast as possible!"

This is a blatant, brazen robbery!

Before she could even speak, Li Laotai jumped in to defend her, "Older brother, these medicinal herbs were brought back from thousands of miles by people sent by Funiu. "

"You just take what you need there, and leave most of it for the child, right Otherwise, the child will be heartbroken, and then no one will go out anymore, wouldn't that mean we have nothing!"

Besides, these medicinal plant seedlings, you don't have the time to cultivate them. Leave them for the children. If they figure it out someday, they can grow more at home and wouldn't need to go all the way to Yunzhou Prefecture anymore, would they

Zhang Shini, while informal with his own apprentice, knew to maintain some decorum when facing Li Laotai.

He coughed twice and replied, “Alright, just give me some. Even if you send it all to me, Fu Niuer can come and get it whenever she wants.”

After saying that, he made up an excuse and ran away quickly.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Hui Niang said, "Uncle Zhang is becoming more and more like a child!"

"Indeed, I see that Zhang Uncle's hair seems darker than before. He truly seems to be turning back time!" Mrs. Wen doesn't often see Doctor Zhang, so she notices the changes more obviously.

Li Laotai quickly waved her hand and instructed, "Doctor Zhang is a broad-minded person who wholeheartedly focuses on his medical skills. He has no worries, so he naturally looks younger."

"Let's just keep this to ourselves. Otherwise, if word gets out, some nosy person might come looking for the elixir of immortality and cause trouble for Zhang Shenyi."

Jia Yin hugged her grandmother's arm and listened with a smile.

In fact, it doesn't matter if all the medicinal herbs are given to Zhang Shenyi. Because she has the seedlings and seeds of medicinal herbs, as long as they are sent into the space, in the blink of an eye, she can have a field of medicinal herbs.

But grandma protected her, refusing to let her suffer any injustice or loss. She still made sure she was particularly happy.

After looking at the medicinal herbs, Lao Hei led Jia Yin to see a few vehicles parked behind.

"My Lady, these are the most abundant and delicious fruits from Yunzhou Prefecture. They were jostled on the road and many were bruised or rotten, leaving only this much."

"But every kind of plant we brought, seeds and saplings. There were even two with roots dug up and buried in the dark earth. Your Highness, would you like to take a look and see if they can be used"

Jia Yin looked at those boxes. They were lined with straw and filled with loquats, rambutan, lychee, waxberry, citrus fruits, pomegranate, and even green bananas!

However, as Lao Hei said, most of the fruits were not fresh anymore because of the long journey.

But she wasn't afraid, as long as there was a seed, it could become a blazing "spark" that ignited a prairie fire.

Moreover, the nursery can optimize the seeds, and the fruit that grows will be tastier than those locally grown in Yunzhou Prefecture!elder brother. Since he came here, it means he's a relative."Even though he wasn't home, Xiaocui wouldn't be bullied too badly by her parents."That's a good idea too!" Old Mrs. Li's eyes lit up. "They...
