The Prodigal Son of Condor Heroes: Li Mochou Wants to Pay for Himself

Three days later, Ye Fan came to the dense forest at the back of the mountain again, feeling filled with emotion.

During these three days, he has been busy running around the city.

Not only did he ask someone to help him carefully create a series of exquisite and practical pots, he also took the trouble to collect a variety of spices.

He then carefully ground the spices into a fine powder and skillfully blended them to create the unique Song Dynasty version of "Thirteen Spices".

However, his actions made the housekeeper Liu Wang very angry.

After all, these are turbulent times, and the price of iron products has skyrocketed.

Just making that set of cookware took up a whole year’s worth of our family’s harvest!

Liu Wang could understand that these pots and pans could be reused.

But he just couldn't understand why his young master spent the family's savings of ten years to collect those seemingly worthless spices!

If Ye Fan had not used these spices to cook many mouth-watering delicacies in time, the butler would probably have been so angry that he would vomit blood.

Finally, Ye Fan even smiled and joked: "Uncle Liu, if you are interested, you can use this unique thirteen spices to open a restaurant, and I guarantee that the business will be prosperous and the money will flow in!"

After hearing this, Liu Wang's heart moved, and he couldn't help but develop a strong interest in the secret recipe of Thirteen Spices.

So, he carefully asked Ye Fan: "Master, can you tell me the secret recipe of Thirteen Spices?"

Ye Fan nodded in agreement without hesitation, and told Liu Wang the specific proportions of various spices in detail without reservation.

This was not because he was so selfless, but because he knew very well that the butler Liu Wang would never betray him.

From the memories of his previous life, he knew that his biological parents had passed away when he was young.

It can be said that he was brought up with great hardship by his steward Liu Wang.

You know, in this turbulent and chaotic world, if Liu Wang had even a hint of evil thoughts, his predecessor would have been unable to survive in this world.

Not only that, when their previous life's parents passed away, they only left them a few acres of barren land.

However, the family now owns such a huge industry, all of which is inseparable from the hard work and efforts of the housekeeper Liu Wang.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He felt that the best thing his previous parents did in their lives was to take in Liu Wang's family who were fleeing at that time.

Unconsciously, Ye Fan fell into deep thought, but when he came to his senses, he saw that the servants in the house had already unloaded all the items.

He smiled and said, "Okay, you can go down the mountain. But don't forget to send some rice, flour, oil and salt up the mountain every ten days."

The servants nodded in agreement, then went down the mountain happily, chatting and laughing.

After they walked away, Ye Fan carefully shouted to the dense forest: "Sister Long, I'm bringing you food!"

You know, the last time he went out of the forest, Xiao Longnu had warned him that there were many poisonous bees in the dense forest. If he was stung by them accidentally, it would be extremely itchy and painful!

It was actually his good luck that he did not encounter those poisonous bees when he entered the dense forest last time. Instead, he met Xiaolongnu smoothly.

However, Ye Fan had witnessed with his own eyes how Zhao Zhijing was horribly disfigured by being stung by a bee.

So, this time he became much more honest and never dared to easily enter the dense forest again.

He shouted several times in succession, and finally saw Xiaolongnu, dressed in snow-white clothes, floating towards him like a fairy.

Ye Fan hurried forward, handed her the food he had carefully prepared, and said, "Sister Long, I made this especially for you! Come and try it, how does it taste?"

Xiaolongnu frowned slightly and seemed a little hesitant, but finally she couldn't bear the hunger in her stomach, so she took the food and took a light bite.

Ye Fan stared at Xiao Longnu's reaction nervously. When he saw her eat a lot of food in a row, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with a smile: "How is it? Sister Long, is it delicious?"

"Not bad." Xiao Longnu said calmly.

Then, her eyes fell on the rice, flour, grain, oil and pots and pans placed on the ground, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Ye Fan noticed her change in expression and quickly explained, "I ran into Granny Sun at the foot of the mountain. She asked me to take good care of you for a while."

In fact, this was just a lie that Ye Fan had woven long ago.

As for where Granny Sun took Yang Guo to, he also had no idea.

When Xiao Long Nu heard Granny Sun's name, a trace of pain and sorrow flashed in her eyes, and she asked softly, "How is Granny these days?"

Ye Fan's lies were easy to come by. He answered without hesitation: "My grandmother is living a very good life now, but she is always worried about Sister Long, so she asked me to come up the mountain to take care of her."

"That's good." Xiao Longnu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Fan seized the opportunity and quickly said, "Sister Long, let me take care of your daily diet in the future."

Xiaolongnu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly to show her agreement.

However, she immediately added: "I can agree that you can stay here, but you can only live at the entrance of the ancient tomb. Without my permission, you are absolutely not allowed to step into the ancient tomb."

After all, Granny Sun had been taking care of her since she was a child. It was absolutely impossible to say that she had no feelings for her.

That day, she saw with her own eyes Granny Sun taking Yang Guo down the mountain, intending to abandon her. Her mood, which had been as calm as a lake, suddenly began to ripple.

Her beautiful face revealed a trace of sadness and reluctance that was hardly noticeable.

Behind, she just stood there quietly, staring at the backs of Granny Sun and Yang Guo as they walked away, her heart filled with endless contradictions and pain.

She began to doubt whether she should continue to follow the teachings of her ancestors, and for a moment she was a little confused.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall every little detail of her childhood. Every time when she was punished by her master for making mistakes, Granny Sun would silently guard her by her side, giving her meticulous care and attention.

However, at this moment, Granny Sun chose to leave her. This sudden change made her feel unprecedented loss and loneliness.

Now that there was a chance to ease the relationship between them, she really didn't want to appear too heartless.

When Ye Fan heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but in an instant his fighting spirit was rekindled.

He hurriedly packed his bags and followed Xiaolongnu closely into the woods.

The fact that Xiaolongnu allowed him to stay was already a good start for him.

He thought to himself, "I just don't believe it! With the two of us accompanying each other day and night, inseparable, is it possible that Xiao Longnu can remain calm all the time?"

So, Ye Fan made a prompt decision and quickly built a simple hut at the entrance of the ancient tomb.

From then on, he worked tirelessly every day to prepare a variety of delicious dishes for Xiaolongnu.

Whenever the two were together, Ye Fan always tried his best to please Xiao Longnu, often telling her many interesting stories in a vivid way.

After all, his soul comes from modern society, and the amount of information he is exposed to is extremely huge, so he can speak fluently and incessantly.

Xiaolongnu has never left Mount Zhongnan since she was born, and has almost no knowledge of the outside world, so she believed everything Ye Fan said without a doubt.

Over time, she often sat quietly in front of the ancient tomb for several hours, staring blankly at the distant sky, as if she was thinking about something.

Time flies, day after day, the relationship between Ye Fan and Xiao Longnu becomes closer and closer.

However, despite this, he always remembered the rules set by Xiaolongnu and did not dare to overstep the line and step into the ancient tomb.
