I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Wide Robe and Big Sleeves

Bai Caoshi called out the System Che Qianzi in her sea of consciousness.

“Ding! Ding!” The sound rang in her head. “God, my dear host, you are so capable. There are so many! How did you get them? These are all prepared medicinal herbs. The points are higher and you are rich!”

Because he was too excited, Che Qianzi’s synthetic voice became sharper.

Bai Caoshi waved her hand and said boldly, “How much is it worth?”

Che Qianzi gave a number without hesitation, “2085 points.”

From the looks of it, it would be easy to get the points. If she robbed the Valley of the Medicine Masters once, she would be completely free from poverty. Bai Coashi coughed and could not even suppress her smile. “Well, I won’t record it for now. I want to buy a medicinal cuisine book from the Points Mall. Can you recommend it?”

“Why not? The price will be lowered!” Che Qianzi’s enthusiasm was extinguished at the speed of a tornado. However, he still suppressed his grief and answered Bai Caoshi’s question, “‘100 Styles of Family Soup’ is worth 30 points; ‘Food is on the left, Medicinal cuisine is on the right’ is worth 52 points; ‘Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinal cuisine’ is worth 100 points, ‘1,000 types of nourishing medicinal cuisine’…”

“Stop, stop, stop, stop,” Bai Caoshi interrupted Che Qianzi angrily. She was short of money. The last time she recorded mulberry branches and mulberries, she had earned 75 points. This was her first time going up the mountain, so she still had 10 points left. “I’m going to ask for the ‘Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinal Herbal Cuisine’. Give me a 20% discount.”

“No discount!” Che Qianzi replied firmly. “If it’s not enough, you can record any of these medicines! Anything will do.”

Traitor! He was a complete traitor!

Bai Caoshi held her head high. She was poor but she could not be moved. She was so mighty that she could not be subdued. “If you don’t give me a discount, I won’t buy it. I want that ‘The recipe is on the left, the medicinal cuisine is on the right’. Believe it or not, if I misappropriate these medicinal herbs, I might not even know how I died. At that time, no one will record it for you.”

Che Qianzi seemed to have realized the urgency of the matter and said, “Then I’ll give you a 20% discount. Dear Host, you must be well.”

After Bai Caoshi received the book, she quickly flipped through it.

Great, tonight’s banquet had a chance.

The sky gradually darkened.

The ox cart was slow. In addition, the old bull had been tired for the entire day. It panted as it traveled back and forth for dozens of miles.

Zhe Yu sat upright in the carriage. The light of the setting sun shone on him, bathing him in a warm glow that concealed the coldness between his brows. He held a brush in one hand and used his legs as a table to draw.

Bai Xiaoshu, who was beside him, sighed non-stop. A thousand times?

“Brother… Brother-in-law, how are we going to find Sister?”

“Brother-in-law, do you think my sister will be in danger? My sister is so beautiful.”

“Brother-in-law…” His mouth was bigger than a pear. “Your drawing looks so alike to my sister. It is exactly my sister!”

Yes, Zhe Yu had drawn a portrait of Bai Caoshi.

He looked calm and composed. In fact, he was so anxious that he did not even take a sip of water. The portrait was done. He folded it and placed it in his arms. “By the time we arrive, the market should have dispersed. We’ll take this portrait and ask everyone.”

This was a tiresome process, but Zhe Yu’s words were firm and unquestionable.

Bai Xiaoshu was also motivated. Even his sickly brother-in-law could do this, so him being the biological brother was naturally responsible.

The sundial of time passed.

The pavilion by the lakeside of Dongli Villa had already been set up.

The esteemed guest from Yanjing and the owner of the villa arrived in front of the pavilion under Huan Yan’s lead.

“Did anyone smoke wormwood?” the owner of the villa asked.

He was 27 or 28 years old. He was dressed in light clothes and had a wide robe with large sleeves. The corners of the robe were like water ripples. As he walked, sandalwood fragrance spread out, like a famous scholar from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. His eyebrows were as deep as the distant mountains, but he did not look feminine. His nose was hanging under his eyebrows, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He looked at the person who smoked the wormwood. His eyes were slanted and charming.
