Escape after crossing

Jiang Ziluo then remembered that they had no idea why they were following him.

"I need to find two herbs, Water Spirit Lotus and Water Cloud Flower. Do you know these two herbs?"

“I know, but I haven’t seen it.”

"I think we should stop in Qinghe County today and see if we can find these two herbs. Then we can go to the morning market tomorrow."

"Girl, when we get to Qinghe County, we'll go ask around and look for him. You can just rest in the inn."

"No, I'll look at the geology and water quality near Qinghe County to see if I can find it in Qinghe County. These two herbs also need certain conditions to grow."

"Miss, is Qinghe County suitable for the growth of those two herbs? How about we go further south? After we find the Water Spirit Lotus and Water Cloud Flower, we can come back to visit the morning market."

"No need, we can find it in Qinghe County. Let's go find the inn first." Jiang Ziluo found several very thin and small water cloud flowers beside a stream five miles away from Qinghe County.

When they arrived at Qinghe County, it was already the afternoon (which is now 3 to 5 p.m.). Jiang Ziluo did not go to Huajianfu this time, and Mingyue and Mingxi were a little surprised.

But she didn't ask right away. After she found the inn and asked the waiter to serve the food, Mingyue lowered her voice and asked.

"Girl, why don't you live in Huajianfu?"

"Yes, girl, the food in Huajianfu is much more delicious than the food here, there is no comparison." Mingxi just remembered to eat.

"Haha, it's nice to stay in another inn and try other cuisines occasionally. Maybe you'll gain something else."

Jiang Ziluo firmly believes that everything that exists, no matter people, things, or objects, has its reason for existence. This inn can survive here well, and according to Jiang Ziluo's observation, this inn is doing pretty well.

Of course, the prices in this inn are lower than those in Huajianfu. Mingyue and Mingxi looked at each other, their eyes conveying each other, but they didn't understand.

Jiang Ziluo saw the communication between the two and knew that the two did not understand. Jiang Ziluo said with a smile.

"It's okay. Let's just wait and see and try their food. If it's really not tasty, we can try it later."

"Girl, isn't that a waste?" Mingxi said. Although Mingxi likes to eat, she still doesn't like to waste.

"How do you know if it tastes good if you haven't tried it? And the dishes we just ordered are not available in Huajianfu. Let's try it."

"Miss, isn't this something that the shopkeepers of Huajianfu should be concerned about?" Mingyue knew that they were all Leng Chenming's properties, but they all had their own responsibilities and never confused them.

"Strictly speaking, it is indeed the responsibility of the shopkeeper Hua Jian Fu to worry about this, and I also believe that the shopkeeper has already done it. The reason why I want to try it is to see what makes them so special."

"Outstanding feature? Miss, are you saying that this inn can make these dishes, but Hua Jian Fu can't, and that's the outstanding feature?"

"Yes, you think the chefs at Hua Jian Fu are all excellent, so why can't they cook the dishes of this inn?"

The three of them waited for the dishes to arrive and tasted them. They were better than others, but that was just the way it was. It was not good enough for Jiang Ziluo. Mingyue and Mingxi thought it was better than anything they had eaten before.

These dishes are nothing like other dishes. Qinghe County is close to the wharf and has abundant seafood, but they are all very fishy and difficult to remove the fishy smell.

The Emerald White Fish Soup is very fresh but has a fishy smell. However, Mingxi said it is very good and no other restaurant can make such a delicious soup.

The fish was white pomfret, which is of course the modern name. Jiang Ziluo didn't know what it was called in ancient times. She tasted the fish and it was very tender. The fish was fresh.

Jiang Ziluo tried two other dishes, braised prawns and steamed scallops. The taste was average and there was still a fishy smell, but according to Mingxi, she could still accept such a fishy smell.

Mingyue couldn't do that. She didn't like the fishy smell and she never ate these. Seeing Mingxi eating it with great relish, Mingyue just followed Jiang Ziluo and just tasted it.

"Girl, how do you eat this?"

Jiang Ziluo understood what Mingyue meant, "Haha, dishes like this are indeed good in an inn like this, and their ingredients are all fresh. The taste is pretty good except for the fishy smell.

But this dish can’t be considered a dish if it’s served at Huajianfu. I think the owner and chef of Huajianfu have studied how to remove the fishy smell? But the effect is probably similar to this.”

"I understand. If Hua Jian Fu uses such dishes, it will lose a lot of customers and easily affect the reputation of the restaurant. But in a restaurant like this, the inn will not do that. After all, the customers are different."

"Yes, you are right. Hua Jian Fu is frequented by rich people. Rich people are picky and difficult to please. It is difficult for them to accept such fishy smell. But for poor people, it is very good to be able to taste such flavor."

"Girls, why do you say you don't want to eat? It won't taste good in a while." Mingxi said while eating.

Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue looked at Mingxi eating happily and smiled. Mingyue said, "Eat it, it's all yours."

Then he said to Jiang Ziluo, "Miss, let's go to Huajianfu. We have to look for herbs later."

"Well, after Mingxi finishes eating, we'll go to Huajianfu."

Jiang Ziluo saw that there were still people coming to the inn to eat at this time, and some of them came specifically to eat seafood. He had some ideas in his mind, but this was not the key point. The most important thing at the moment was the matter of herbs.

Mingyue stopped Mingxi from eating, and then asked the waiter to settle the bill. The three of them went to Huajianfu, and the shopkeeper of Huajianfu had already received the news.

It was Leng Chenming who gave the news, and when the shopkeeper heard the names of the three people, he briefly explained the matter. Jiang Ziluo asked the shopkeeper to prepare some simple food that was easy to carry.

Jiang Ziluo asked the shopkeeper where the stream she had seen before led to, or if there were any streams or rivers nearby.

The shopkeeper had been in this shop all his life, and he was familiar with the terrain and topography of the area. After asking around and preparing the food, the three of them went to look for herbs.

Fortunately, with the shopkeeper's reminder, Jiang Ziluo quickly found a place suitable for the growth of water cloud flowers and water spirit lotus. But suitable does not mean that they are everywhere, so they followed the stream for a while.

Jiang Ziluo just discovered a patch of water cloud flowers, which was not very big. Jiang Ziluo told Mingyue and Mingxi how to find the water cloud flowers he wanted.

The three of them searched separately and soon found three four-petal water cloud flowers. Jiang Ziluo took out a handkerchief, wrapped it up, and placed it inside his clothes on his chest.

They continued to look for Shui Linglian and soon found it. The three of them were so happy that they found it, but then they realized it was getting dark.

Jiang Ziluo had just been looking for herbs along the stream, without even looking at the surroundings. Now that he had found them, he had time to look at the surroundings and the scenery.

They had been traveling under the scorching sun at noon. Now it was evening and the weather had cooled down. Seeing the water, Jiang Ziluo wanted to play in it.

She thought so and did so. Mingyue and Mingxi, who followed her, looked at her like this and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts, she was really still a child.

"Come here, you two. The water is cool and comfortable. Come quickly." Jiang Ziluo urged the two to come down from the water.

"Girl, it's getting dark. You should play for a while before we go back." Mingyue said.

"Mingyue, why are you in such a hurry? Haven't we found the herbs? Let's play in the water for a while. The water is cool and very comfortable." Mingxi was already at the water's edge, touching the water.

Seeing that the two had not come down yet, Jiang Ziluo splashed water on them. Of course, it was just a little bit, as the three of them had not brought any spare clothes, so if they got wet, they would be doomed.
