"Steward Yi, this is the Zhuangzi I was talking about." Rong Jingru raised her eyebrows.

Yi Yiran didn't expect that this Zhuangzi was so big. At that time, he thought it would be as big as the third courtyard at most.

"I wonder how much rent Madam will charge then?"

"Under normal circumstances, we charge 30% of the rent; in special circumstances, we only need to charge 20% of the rent. Of course, if the harvest is really bad, I will consider it again." Rong Jingru said in her heart.

I said my thoughts again.

Yi Yiran didn't expect that his new master was actually a kind person.

In fact, Rong Jingru was not as good as Yi Yiran thought. She just wanted the tenants in her village to have enough to eat.

"Steward Yi, you go ahead and do your work first. I'll show Qi Yan where to plant herbs?" Rong Jingru waved her hand and asked Yi Yiran to leave first.

…

There are trees planted all around the village. The breeze blows and the cool air hits her face, making Rong Jingru feel very comfortable.

The craft of growing medicine is not like growing food for farmers. It not only requires consideration of the land, but also requires more thinking.

Moreover, different medicinal materials have to be planted and harvested at a certain time. In the process, we have to consider how to raise them. The most important thing is to be patient.

Ding Qiyan searched for a long time on Zhuangzi, and finally found almost five acres of land not far from the pond that could be used to grow herbs.

Rong Jingru was very excited when she heard what Ding Qiyan said. Before, she had just hoped. After all, selling medicinal materials is sometimes more profitable than selling food.

Even though she is a vulgar person, since she can grow medicinal materials, Rong Jingru can see in her eyes that a steady stream of gold is waving to her.

"Qi Yan, do you know where I can buy medicinal seeds? As soon as those people are in place, we can start planting medicinal materials."

"Jingru, in order to increase the survival rate of the medicinal materials, I think it's better to ask the dental shop to see if there is anyone there who has grown medicinal materials." Ding Qiyan suggested.

Rong Jingru thought it made sense and decided to let Butler Yi look for it later.

"Now that we have found the land that can be used to grow medicinal materials, we might as well go to that mountain for a stroll. Maybe we can pick up some wild animals and come back for extra food." Rong Jingru was ready to let herself go completely.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to borrow three bamboo baskets or backpacks." Ding Qiyan called to the two of them.

"You don't want to take the opportunity to dig up some medicinal materials and go back, do you?"

"How could I let go of such a good opportunity?" Ding Qiyan paused, "Maybe we'll be lucky enough to dig up ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum."

"For your good advice, I also want to dig up these precious medicinal materials. How about Qi Yan describe what they look like to the two of us first, otherwise we will encounter them all at once, but we will miss them because we don't know them." Rong Jingru

Enthusiasm came all of a sudden.

Seeing the two of them chatting so happily, Jin Wushuang also put her head over it, because she also wanted to dig up a fifty or hundred-year-old ginseng. After all, the world was dangerous, and with such a ginseng, she could keep it to save her life.

…

Because Ding Qiyan didn't know martial arts and Rong Jingru had never been into the mountains, the three of them didn't go up the mountain very fast.

Unexpectedly, before the three of them had gone far, Ding Qiyan discovered the herbs. They were just ordinary herbs. She did not go to pick them immediately. Instead, she marked them aside and waited until she went down the mountain to dig them again.

Not long after walking, Rong Jingru discovered a lot of mushrooms and fungus, which were good things. Rong Jingru hurriedly greeted the two of them, then squatted down and started digging.

"Jingru, do you know these mushrooms? I heard that some people picked the mushrooms and cooked them to eat, but they were all sent to a nearby hospital the next day." Jin Wushuang looked at Rong Jingru.

Picking there carefully, I couldn't help but ask.

"The doctor said at the time that fortunately the discovery was timely and the family's lives were saved. If it had been a step later, the villagers would have had to help collect the bodies of the family."

"Wushuang, those brightly colored mushrooms are generally poisonous, and the more colorful the mushroom, the greater its toxin." Master Rong Jingru patiently explained to Jin Wushuang: "Of course there are some mushrooms that don't look poisonous.

But when picked, it changes color easily, and these mushrooms are often highly poisonous."

"That's it, then I'll pick them too, and I'll go back to make these mushrooms into dishes later." Jin Wushuang thought for a while.

While Jin Wushuang and Rong Jingru were picking mushrooms, Ding Qiyan had already started picking herbs.

"Then let's pick more and go back. I heard that mushroom sauce is very delicious, and I don't know if anyone can make it." Rong Jingru swallowed her throat when she thought of mushroom sauce.

"When we bring it back to the General's Mansion, we can let the cooks inside give it a try. Maybe they can cook it." Jin Wushuang also had a strong appetite aroused by Rong Jingru at this time.

"If we have time, we can pick more later. After all, the mushrooms are edible even if they are dried, and they are easy to preserve." Ding Qiyan suggested.

Going inside, the three of them also found a lot of pheasants and rabbits, but in fact, when they were catching them, some of the pheasants and rabbits took the opportunity to escape under the noses of a few people.

Mainly because Ding Qiyan and Rong Jingru alerted them during the catching process.

But it felt so good to catch pheasants and rabbits by herself. This was something she had never tried in her previous life.

Just when Rong Jingru was about to take a step forward, something caught her attention.

"Qi Yan, come here and see if this is the ginseng you described to me before?"

Ding Qiyan followed the sound and walked over, looking in the direction of Rong Jingru's finger, "It's really ginseng. I think it must be quite old."

With that said, Ding Qiyan started digging carefully.

Rong Jingru and Jin Wushuang stepped forward to help, but she was worried that they had not dug it before and accidentally injured its roots, which would be uneconomical.

"Wushuang, why don't we take a look around? Maybe there is ginseng nearby?" Rong Jingru thought of the time-travel novels she had read in her previous life.

Jin Wushuang nodded. Although he agreed, he still told him: "Then Jingru shouldn't go too far for a while."

After all, the three of them are in the mountains now, so it's better to be careful.

Her worries were not unnecessary. When Rong Jingru discovered ginseng again, a small snake was swimming through the grass towards Rong Jingru. Fortunately, Jin Wushuang reacted in time and pierced the small snake with a sword.

Rong Jingru only paid attention at this time. It seemed that because the two of them were around, her vigilance dropped, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed the snake swimming over.

"Wushuang, is this snake venomous?"

"Let me take a look." He said, piercing the snake with his sword and taking a look. "It's green bamboo leaves, which are poisonous."

Rong Jingru was terrified when she heard this, feeling that her life had been spared.

Their harvest on this trip was quite large. They picked three ginsengs at once, one of which was almost fifty years old. Although the other two were not very old, they were almost ten years old.

Rong Jingru feels that she has a deeper understanding of medicinal materials during this trip. After all, there are still some differences between reading books and reality.

Before Rong Jingru left, she gave Butler Yi some money and asked him to pay more attention to seeds we didn't know.

"Madam, I want to buy this and plant it on the village."

"Yes."

"Wushuang, take one of these two old ones by your side. Qi Yan can take the remaining ones that are fifty years old. Maybe they will be needed after the hospital opens." Rong Jingru can't use it for the time being.

, and divided the three ginsengs.

"Jingru, I won't use it for the time being. When there are older ginsengs in the future, I will keep one with me." Since Jin Wushuang said so, Rong Jingru placed all three ginsengs in Ding Qi.

Yan's hand.

"Qi Yan, just take these three pills. Anyway, the hospital is about to open. When someone comes to get the medicine, maybe it will be available soon." Rong Jingru only needs to think about these three ginseng pills.

When he turned into money and waved to her, he felt that he was not far from harvest.

…

On the way back home, before the carriage had gone very far, Rong Jingru heard several small meows from nearby, and she quickly stopped the carriage.

I walked over and took a look, and it turned out that there was a kitten in the grass not far away. It was furry and as white as snow.

Rong Jingru didn't find any other adult cats around it, especially its eyes, which were like rubies and sparkling, which made her like it even more.

Seeing how pitiful the kitten was, Rong Jingyi felt compassionate and couldn't help but pick up the kitten and gently stroke its hair.

The kitten felt a hint of warmth and couldn't help but stick out its tongue and lick Rong Jingru's hand, making a "meow" sound from time to time.

"The smell on this person smells so good. I have decided that I will stay by her side for the rest of my life."

"You guys help me catch it, and we'll take it back." Rong Jingru said, handing the kitten over.

Ding Qiyan had already stepped out of the carriage and reached out to hug the kitten.

Rong Jingru dusted herself off and then got back into the carriage.

"Jingru, do you want to go to my house and give it a bath first?" The kitten was a little dirty, and Ding Qiyan was afraid that Rong Jingru would be criticized if she took it back.

"Okay." Rong Jingru nodded.

She really likes furry animals. In her previous life, her family didn't like them shedding their hair everywhere. She didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to raise a cat after traveling through time.

"This cat is so beautiful. I have never seen a cat with such beautiful eyes." Jin Wushuang praised.

Even in her previous life, she had never seen a cat with eyes like this.

The little cat looked at everyone with a smug look on his face, "I'm one of a kind."

"We'll take a bath for you in a moment. You have to be good." Rong Jingru said softly.

Ding Qiyan and Jin Wushuang didn't think such a kitten could understand human speech, but they just didn't bother them in any way.

The kitten seemed to be able to understand Rong Jingru's words, and made a "meow" sound, then opened its eyes and looked at Rong Jingru, stretched out its little head and rubbed against her hand.

Ding Qiyan and Jin Wushuang were both stunned by the scene in front of them. Could this kitten really understand human speech?

"Of course I can understand people's words." The kitten glanced at a few people with disdain, then closed his eyes again, "The woman who just picked it up is the one he likes the most."

This little kitten is also destined to her. Rong Jingru thought for a while, stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the kitten's hair, "From now on, you can call her Tinker Bell."

Tinker Bell was very happy because she finally had a name, so she jumped on Rong Jingru's shoulders and rubbed her face affectionately.

"As long as you like the name, if you want to rub against me in the future, you have to clean yourself first."

Tinkerbell looked down at herself and found that the hair on her body was indeed a little dirty, and she covered her little face shyly with one paw.

Tinker Bell just felt that her master was too smart.

"Tinker Bell actually knows how to be shy." Jin Wushuang joked.

"What a clever little guy." Ding Qiyan raised her eyebrows.

Tinker Bell found the praise from Jin Wushuang and Ding Qiyan very helpful.

It kept wagging its tail, as if greeting Jin Wushuang and Ding Qiyan.
