The casual life of the flat space

Chapter 132: Not "Huang Zi" but "Prince"

Mu Qingqiu also discovered that Bai Tieying could call the wind and rain in the cave, but she was no different from an ordinary child outside. She had to walk step by step, and she would get tired after walking too much, which puzzled Mu Qingqiu. Later, he guessed: Is it because she used the "Resurrection" technique, so there are no restrictions in her cave, but it is not possible outside?

Another strange thing is that the whole journey was very "peaceful". Mu Qingqiu was very nervous at first, but then he thought of Bai Tieying's identity and observed for a while before he was sure that it was indeed her fault.

As for why this happened, Mu Qingqiu knew she couldn't ask, because even if she asked, there would be no answer, and it might even make her angry. Now the two of them were talking and laughing, and it didn't look like they were kidnappers and hostages at all, so let's just keep going like this! She didn't dare to feel wronged at all...

Seeing that they were about to reach the ginseng field, he had to be careful and not to anger her, otherwise he thought he might go crazy if he was tied up motionless for three days like the golden eagle!

Wild ginseng likes the sun but is afraid of it, likes water but is afraid of moisture, so the ginseng grows in a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow, as if nature has marked this place where natural creatures grow in its own way.

As soon as they reached the ten-foot range, Bai Tieying's mouth began to curl up uncontrollably. Because Mu Qingqiu didn't need to point out the specific location, she had already copied the ginseng in her space. Bai Tieying stopped the two from moving forward, and directly used a great movement to take away the ginseng outside, not even leaving the soil.

After collecting the ginseng, she took the two of them back to the space. After a short rest, she pulled out the pile of wild ginseng that was collected from outside and placed it in the yard. She had seen the identification of ginseng years in her uncle's "Yubei Herbal Illustrated Book" before. Although it was not accurate, she could tell the difference roughly.

"Brother Mu, I learned some herbal identification from my uncle before. I may not be able to make an accurate judgment on the details, but the approximate age is correct. Here is one 500-year-old ginseng, two 300-year-old ginseng, eight 100-300-year-old ginseng, and fifty-four ginseng less than 100 years old. We'll split it in half when we meet. You pick first!"

"No, Miss Bai. I promised to lead the way for you. How can you take it away?" Mu Qingqiu waved his hands quickly.

But Bai Tieying smiled and said, "Aiya! Why are you calling me so strange again? Brother Mu, you don't have to be polite. This is just a small token of my appreciation. If it weren't for you leading the way, how could I have obtained so many ginsengs so smoothly? Could it be that... you think it's not enough?"

"No, no, no," Mu Qingqiu explained hurriedly. "I just think that I shouldn't accept gifts without merit. Tieying, this thing is useless to me. I have to go look for spies next, and it's not convenient to carry it with me... How about I leave it with you first? If I need it, I'll come back for it. Well, give me the two 300-year-old plants, is that okay with you?"

Ginseng, especially high-aged ginseng, is indeed rare, but Mu Qingqiu felt that it was of no use to him. Seeing that Bai Tieying was not being polite, he changed his mind and thought that it might be a good idea to give it to his mother in the future, so he agreed.

"Then I will accept the 500-year-old one, Brother Mu. But don't be polite with the others. Let's split them in half! If it's inconvenient for you, just leave them with me. You can come and get them whenever you need them." Bai Tieying waved her hand, and the ginseng disappeared. She said again:

"Brother Mu, it is fate that we met. Our misunderstanding has been resolved. I am grateful that you have done me such a big favor. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know. I am very willing to help you."

"You are so polite, Tieying. I will accept your favor. If you need it, I will come back to get it. I am going to chase the enemy and I don't know if I can come to say goodbye. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask General Zhao to contact me. He is an old subordinate of my grandfather and our two families are old friends. He can be trusted."

"Haha, that's great! People say that a county magistrate is not as good as a current manager. Now that I have met the Ninth Prince, I have to borrow your power so that I don't meet such a big backer in vain! I was originally afraid that trivial matters would disturb the Ninth Prince's peace, but this time I have the right to do so!" Bai Tieying said while covering his mouth and laughing.

"Tieying, you're joking. Don't mention whether I'm a prince or not. I should say that it's my honor to have you call me brother!"

After the two of them exchanged some business boasts, Bai Tieying asked what she wanted to ask - when would Mu Qingqiu leave. Mu Qingqiu replied that the sooner the better, if Bai Tieying had nothing else to do, he would like to leave tomorrow, so Bai Tieying said that he would prepare a thank you and farewell banquet, and Mu Qingqiu naturally agreed.

Bai Tieying is a cheerful and optimistic person. She was worried about the sudden arrival here and the space, but she didn't care anymore after she figured it out. In addition, after spending these days together, she also realized that Mu Qingqiu was not a treacherous person, but just a little arrogant and immature, so she was willing to treat him as a friend. However, their relationship was not to the extent that they needed to resolve some "misunderstandings", so let everything take its course!

It was agreed to be a farewell party, so Bai Tieying naturally did her best to cook a meal. Recently, the meals she cooked have become more and more sumptuous and varied. Bai Tiexiong smelled the fragrance and helped while praising his sister's cooking skills. Bai Tieying smiled and gave her brother a few slices of the freshly fried crispy roses, asking him to work quietly.

In fact, it wasn't that Bai Tieying's cooking was so delicious, it was just that the dishes of Yu Country were generally light in taste, and the common people cooked by steaming or boiling, which could only be said to be cooked, and the seasoning was mostly just salt. The dishes in the restaurant and Zhiyin Building she had eaten before were just a little more "refined", which made Bai Tieying, who remembered the spicy and fresh flavors, very uncomfortable.

So she originally thought that Mu Qingqiu also had the taste of this place. He only put a little salt in the dishes he cooked before, and she didn't dare to add more seasoning even when she stewed the fish that day. Unexpectedly, he mentioned several times that the fish she cooked was delicious, which made Bai Tieying dare not respond later. She didn't understand what he meant. How could he, a prince, not eat delicious food? Or was her cooking skill comparable to that of the imperial chef?

On Bai Tiexiong's birthday that day, the sweet and sour fish she made was almost entirely eaten by Mu Qingqiu alone, which made Little Potato tell her before going to bed that he was not full, and asked his sister to wait until that "yellow and purple" left before making more for him. Bai Tieying did not know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained to him the meaning of the prince. Bai Tiexiong then realized that it was not "yellow and purple" but "prince", the son of the emperor of Dayu Kingdom, and had the same identity as Wu Zhuo who built the Bagua Formation.
