I survived as a female assassin

After hearing what Wei Mayan said, it seemed to make sense, but she still had to reciprocate.

Xin Youran didn't ask any more questions and began to learn seriously from Wei Mayan how to take care of flowers and trees.

Although it was a bit counterproductive, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically.

But this is just what Xin Youran thinks.

"Wanwan, you know what? Last night, when your father and I were on our way to the courtyard, I was thinking that I would curl up at the foot of the bed all night. I didn't expect Lengyue to make my room so cozy!"

"Especially that bed. It smells like sunshine when you lie on it. It's so comfortable!"

"Hehe, that's why I slept in so late today. The breakfast we had was brought to us by those aunties..."

Wei Wanwan was carrying a bucket of fertilizer that had been prepared in advance and fertilizing the flowers one spoonful at a time. This fertilizer was made from pig manure and human urine, so she had been using her internal force to hold her breath, let alone speak!

But Xin Youran just kept chattering here as if she had no sense of smell...

That room originally belonged to you, and Leng Yue was just helping you dry your bedding.

Seeing Wei Mayanban silent and fully armed, Xin Youran was a little curious. But when she saw the color of the fertilizer, she realized what it was. It was so damn smelly!

"Um, Hanhan, what are you scooping out?"

She knew this flower, the gardenia, and it was just beginning its flowering season. Some were still in bud, while others had already blossomed into large flowers with white petals and a very strong fragrance.

The reason why I didn't smell the stench just now was probably because the fragrance of the gardenia covered it up.

Her grandfather grows this flower every year in his herb garden, so she is very familiar with it.

There was a time when I was obsessed with this scent and even bought gardenia perfume!

"Pig and human feces and urine."

Xin Youran:?!?

After Wei Wanwan answered, her hands did not stop moving, but instead moved faster, quickly leaving the shocked Xin Youran behind.

As the stench faded, the scent of gardenias re-entered her nostrils, and she suddenly had an epiphany.

Gardenia, this is an edible flower!

Not only does it have medicinal value, it can also be made into ointment and perfume, right?

Gardenia has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make tea, dye, and for medicinal purposes, etc.

Isn’t this money?

This matter is promising and needs to be studied carefully. When he looked up, he found that Wei Mayan had left him far behind.

The people she was most familiar with in Crescent Valley were the old monster's family, and Wei Wanwan was the one who was most familiar with growing flowers, so she had no choice but to discuss major plans with her.

"Awan, wait for me!"

After Xin Youran's "relentless pursuit" of Wei Mayan for the entire morning, with the smell of manure and the fragrance of gardenia alternating with each other, she finally reaped a good harvest.

According to Wei Banban, there are many gardenias planted in the village during this season, as well as camellias, peonies, and roses.

There are also special cellars for growing seasonal flowers, but these are very precious and are specially supplied to the dignitaries in the city.

The rest of the flowers are sent to the market and the homes of regular customers, which is also the main source of income for the villagers.

It seems that these gardenias are simply sold as flowers, and their value is not fully utilized at all.

There are flowers ready to mature right now, so why not take this opportunity to maximize their value?

She immediately had an idea, "Banban, can I pick some of these gardenias and take them back?"

Wei Wanwan thought she was going to take it back for bathing, so she agreed immediately, "No problem, one hundred coins per plant."

Xin Youran: ...

"Miss Youran, one hundred coins is a friendship price!"

"If this plant grows well, it can be sold for two hundred coins each."

Wei Wanwan is quite business-minded! Xin Youran tremblingly took out the one or two taels of silver she had just borrowed from Wei Wanwan and handed it over.

Looking at her painful expression, Wei Mayan felt a sense of pleasure as if his evil plan had succeeded. "Well, I'll just owe you the money for now."

"Hey, that one's petals are blooming earlier, try to pick them yourself."

After getting permission, Xin Youran ran to the courtyard. As if afraid that she would change her mind, she picked up a small bamboo basket from the fire room and ran back to the gardenia, and began to pick the flowers one by one.

Not to mention that this plant is almost fully bloomed, with only one or two still in bud stage.

After she finished picking them, she had a full basket, enough for a gardenia feast.

Today's lunch includes stir-fried gardenias, cold-mixed gardenias, stir-fried gardenias with meat, fried gardenias, and gardenia egg drop soup.

Although she has only made stir-fried gardenias before, as long as they are edible, the above methods are all feasible!

This was her first time trying this gardenia banquet, so she took the freshly picked gardenias and rushed to the old monster's house.

During the trip, when passing by other villagers' fields, they all greeted Xin Youran when they saw her. Xin Youran nodded in response with a smile, but in her heart she only wanted to walk faster.

The villagers in Crescent Valley are so welcoming!

After returning to the kitchen in the courtyard, as usual, I checked what side dishes were in the storage cabinet. It seemed that leeks were missing. Stir-fried gardenias must be added with some leeks to make them taste better.

She remembered that there was a small vegetable patch in the backyard, and there should be leeks in the patch, so she went to the backyard first.

As soon as she arrived at the vegetable garden, she found that someone was still trying to talk in a house closer to the vegetable garden. This was not her eavesdropping, but she was listening openly with her ears at the side.

"Master, Awan asked me to find you so urgently. What's the matter?"

It was Chu Yuming's voice, so was he talking to the old monster?

"Awan is such a calm person, what urgent matter could there be? It's nothing more than the matter of Blood Shadow."

Uh, did she eat the melon and end up eating it on her own head?

She had to listen carefully. Chives and the like were not important, so she twisted her body and came to the wall, putting her ear against the wall to listen, so that she could hear more clearly.

But as soon as she put her ear to it, she heard no sound, and then she heard the sound of the door opening.

"Miss Youran, you're in a good mood today. Are you coming to the backyard to enjoy the view?"

"It's just that your viewing posture... is quite unique."

Chu Yuming had a fake smile on her face, and Xin Youran felt annoyed. How could she have forgotten that he and the old monster were both masters, and they must have discovered her long ago...

"Oh, no, no, I'm here to prepare lunch. I just came to the backyard to cut some leeks as a side dish."

Everyone can fake a smile. As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Then she walked over to the small vegetable garden as if nothing had happened. She could feel Chu Yuming's eyes still on her. There was something even more embarrassing going on. The person who threatened to cut the leeks didn't have any tools to do it with...

She suddenly had an idea and took out the short knife that Mu Yuan had picked up from her arms, which she had always carried with her.

Then he took this delicate and sharp short knife and started cutting the leeks...

At this time, she would just cut a little and rush to the fire room. While washing the gardenias, she was still wondering what they were talking about about Blood Shadow?

After washing the gardenias, she pulled out the stamens and discarded them for later use. The next step was to wash the leeks. Only then did she realize that the dagger had not been washed yet.

After wiping the dagger clean and putting it back into the scabbard, she suddenly thought of Mu Yuan...

After not seeing him for a few days, I don't know how he's doing since arriving in the capital...

When she returned home at night, she would ask Leng Yue about him.

Wash the leeks, cut them and set aside. Prepare some cornstarch, flour, and egg white, put them in a bowl, add water and stir into a paste. Heat oil in a pan, wait until the oil is hot, evenly coat the gardenias one by one with the paste, put them into the pan and fry until golden brown, remove them, sprinkle with salt, chili powder, cumin, and mix well.

Prepare dried chili peppers, ginger, garlic, chopped green onions, and two eggs. Add water to another pot and bring to a boil. Put the processed gardenias into the boiling water and quickly remove them.

Rinse in clean water, remove and drain.

Put the blanched gardenias into a small porcelain bowl, add salt, chopped green onions and oil, mix well, and the cold gardenia salad is ready.

Clean the pot again, pour in oil, add garlic and gardenia after the oil is heated, stir-fry for a few times, add salt and stir-fry for a few more times, add water, cover the pot and cook for one or two minutes, add leeks and soy sauce and stir-fry for a few more times, remove from the pan, and the stir-fried gardenia is ready.

……

When the lunch arrived, everyone was stunned. What was this? Were they sure it wasn't poisonous?
