The flowering period works

Chapter 654: The Price of Schadenfreude

    

f the leading wild boar. 。The wild boar let out a shrill scream, its brains splattering, before collapsing to the ground. 。Jiayi squeezed out from the front door, lagging behind. He was also in a hurr..."Old Hei Shu, you've truly done a great deed! Even if these fruits can't be planted all over the mountain here, keeping them in the greenhouse, even if just one basketful grows, will sell for a fortune. Enough to cover your expenses for ten more trips."

Jia Yin's generous praise made Lao Hei and the others heave a sigh of relief.

They had spent almost all the silver their master had given them on this trip.

They were worried all along the way, afraid that the things they brought back would be useless and cost their master money.

Thankfully, thankfully...

Lao Hei took off the heavy burden in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

He opened the last carriage door and said, “My Lady, we found that the sweet potatoes in Yunzhou Prefecture were particularly sweet, with red flesh. We brought back a whole cart for our family as well.”

"Take a look, if you can use the best. Even if it's not very useful, just roast it for your kids at home, their little mouths will be sweet."

Jia Yin reached out and picked up a few, her eyes crinkled with a smile. "These are sweet potatoes, they're so much better than the ones we grow here! They're such good stuff, you could sell them at a high price even at a dessert shop!"

This sentence, like adding the finishing touches to a painting, provided the most perfect ending to this southward journey.

From Old Hei to all the men, everyone was grinning ear to ear.

After two months of hard work, there are finally results.

At this time, Xiao Cui hurried over from Ercun.

Jia Yin asked, "Auntie, is the meal for Uncle Heibai and the others ready"

"Ready!" Xiaocui replied crisply with a smile, "I've cooked three big pots of noodles, with meat sauce and egg sauce. The kang is also heated up, and the new clothes are ready. We just wait for them to come back!"

Lao Hei and the others were itching to try it. They had just passed by the bakery earlier, thinking about meat sauce noodles, and now they could finally eat them.

Jia Yin quickly asked them to go back. Just then, the village head, Liu Biaotou, and the villagers heard the news and came over to join the excitement. They helped carry things from the carriage to the warm house at the back.

Jia Yin immediately divided the medicinal herbs into three parts and took one-third directly to Zhang Shenyi's clinic.

This old geezer was hit hard by the medicine she concocted last time, and he's determined to save his master's face.

If this herb isn't delivered, the old man probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.

Several villagers were entering Jia Yin's greenhouse for the first time and were amazed by its warmth, like spring. They also saw many vegetables and fruits, saying they felt like they had entered a fairyland.

Jia Yin picked a few bunches of grapes for them to eat. They were reluctant to eat them, carefully holding them in their hands, preparing to take them back to feed the elderly and children.

Finally getting some peace and quiet, Jiayin asked Shui Ling to guard the door before starting to tidy up.

Apart from leaving some fruit saplings and medicinal herb saplings outside as a facade, everything else was brought into the space. The optimization was optimized, and the cultivation was cultivated.

Shui Ling was so tired that she fell asleep directly on the lounge chair by the door after working all afternoon and evening.

Thankfully, the greenhouse was still warm from the sun's rays absorbed during the day.

Jia Yin, making use of the grapevines as cover, moved back and forth in the space.

When the sky began to lighten, there were two more mu of new medicinal herbs in the space, and the banana tree roots had also grown another two zhang high.

A bunch of slightly yellow bananas circled the trunk, layer upon layer, looking especially delightful.

In the distance, there are loquat trees, citrus trees, mangosteen trees, and pomegranate trees, all bearing abundant fruit...

Just thinking about it, being able to eat these fruits at will in the future, and even selling them as a novelty amongst the clouds, would surely bring in a steady stream of wealth. Jia Yin wouldn't feel tired at all!

The little fox went completely crazy, dashing about in the space, tasting this and that, busy as could be.

As a result, it finally decided that grapes were the best after all.

The little green snake gloated, secretly sticking out its tongue in the cage. When it was spotted by the little fox, it swished its bushy tail and sent the poor snake flying with a spinning cage combo!

At last, the little fox ran back to the chicken coop and stole an egg. It gobbled it up right in front of the little green snake…

Jia Yin ignored the two feuding parties and chopped a bunch of bananas, intending to let her family try something new.

But just as dawn broke, almost everyone in the family was still asleep.

Fortunately, there was movement in the next courtyard. Jia Yin climbed onto the wall and saw that her foster father was indeed practicing martial arts.

Then, she giggled and climbed down.

To make it easier for her to climb the wall, the Ye family has been keeping a ladder against the wall.

Before Jia Yin could jump down, the Marquis had already discarded his sword and rushed over to catch her.

The morning breeze was too cold, so the father and daughter went into the study.

Jia Yin offered the bananas, like a precious treasure.

"Father, when are you coming back, I have no idea! "

"Try this, it's fruit brought back by Lao He and his folks from Yunzhou Prefecture. It's especially sweet and soft, and even good for your digestion after eating. Haha, all ages can enjoy it."

Grandma and the others aren't awake yet, Dad can eat first!

Jia Yin peeled a banana and held it to the Marquis's lips.

Like ordinary men, the Marquis had no particular interest in fruit.

After all, fruit doesn't have the fragrance of meat, and eating it won't fill you up or give you energy.

But this is what my best friend made for me, I have to eat it no matter what!

The lord chuckled as he took a bite, to his unexpected delight. "Well, this banana is indeed soft and sweet, even toothless elders and children can eat it."

"Of course! If it's not tasty, could I climb the wall and bring some to my godfather" Jia Yin said proudly, "If my godfather likes it, he should eat more. There's plenty more where that came from."

Just then, Dongmei heard the noise and brought warm water for the Marquis to wash up.

Jia Yin twisted two more, letting her and Ye Shan try them too.

Winter Plum laughed and said, “Is this the convoy that came back from the south yesterday The fruit from the south is indeed more plentiful than that from the north, and it’s also more novel.”

Jia Yin smiled and replied, "After the New Year, Old Hei and his friends are going to Chuanzhou Prefecture for a trip. There are even more good things there."

The Marquis nodded, finished the banana in his hand, and said, "Previously, the expedition team you mentioned also took on a mission and returned from the north. They not only brought back items for their employer but also gathered quite a bit of information about the barbarians."

"And then there's the express delivery service, which will transport packages and letters for the people. That is also being organized. Preliminary calculations show that it will employ several hundred people."

All the wounded soldiers were properly arranged, each with a job to support their families.

He patted Jia Yin's head and praised, "These are all thanks to you. Tell me what kind of reward you want, your godfather will definitely get it for you."

Jia Yin smiled and waved her hand. "No need, Godfather, I've already received the gifts! Uncle Heihei and the others are all skilled. They brought back so many good things after just one trip!"

The Lord saw that she refused to take credit and did not insist further. He then asked about the Longevity Gift for her birthday celebration.

After discussing for a few moments, both father and daughter felt reassured that it was safe.

Soon, the old woman in the next yard was missing her granddaughter. Shui Ling woke up and lost her mistress, both of them started shouting. Jia Yin immediately climbed over the wall and went back.

After breakfast, Jiayin went to Zhang Shenyi's place as usual to report.

As expected, the old man got a new medicinal ingredient and didn't have time to look after his apprentice.

He handed his young apprentice a diagram of meridians and acupoints, along with a specially crafted bronze figure, then disappeared into his pharmacy, emerging no more.

Jia Yin carried the diagram of meridians and acupoints, Shui Ling shouldered the bronze man, as they walked home, attracting a lot of stares along the way.

The villagers couldn't help but laugh and feel sorry for Jiayin, who was left to her own devices again.

Zhang Shenyi, this master, would often disappear for long periods of time, it was common knowledge.

When they got home, the Li family was both amused and dumbfounded. simply amazing! Where did he find so many fruit trees"“Yes, I thought about it before. It would be nice if there were fruit trees planted on this mountain. Not only would they look beautiful when in...
