After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

After finally cleaning up, it was already early morning when Zhao Huanxi lay down on the bed. It is no exaggeration to say that he fell asleep the moment he touched the bed.

The medicinal herbs have also been put away. If nothing goes wrong, Hongying will come with peppers tomorrow. Then I can pick some of the medicinal herbs I dug today and give them to her.

Early the next morning, Zhao Huanxi yawned and took advantage of the cool morning to go to the field and plant the medicinal herbs that had been soaked overnight in the backyard.

I took a wooden basin and planted the orchid in the loose soil I dug yesterday, and placed it in a relatively shady place at the back. I don’t know if it can survive.

It was her first time growing orchids. It all depended on her luck and fate.

However, according to the knowledge I stumbled upon in my previous life, you shouldn't use soil that's too hard to grow this plant. You should keep the soil moist and breathable, and fertilize it occasionally to encourage it to bloom. I'll explore other options later.

However, if you want to develop the medicinal materials industry, you must have storage racks at home. You have to find Lao Lin, the carpenter, to make a few more wooden racks for drying medicinal materials.

"Happy sister! I brought you something good~"

As soon as I entered the front yard, I heard Hongying knocking on the door outside.

When the three girls heard the sound, they ran forward to open the door.

"Sister Hongying~"

At this time, Yu Yan stood up from behind Hongying and said to the children with a smile: "What about me?"

Seeing Yu Yan, Xiao Nian rushed forward to her knees.

"Sister Yanyan~"

"Sister Yu Yan." Xiao Pan and Xiao Yin walked up to her and greeted her.

"Hongying, Miss Yuyan, please come in quickly. The sun is too scorching outside."

It was just after the Great Heat, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. Zhao Huanxi felt like he was going to faint if he stood outside.

Yu Yan squatted down and picked up Xiao Nian, smiling and said to her, "I like this fat girl in your family. You can tell at a glance that she is blessed."

"Ah, no matter how lucky you are, you have to come in first. You two will be tanned into charcoal in no time."

After pulling the carriage to a cool place and tying it up, they pulled the two into the reception room. Zhao Huanxi made some herbal tea and poured a cup for each of them.

As a result, Hongying had just sat down and stood up before she could even take a sip of tea.

"Oh, the eggplant is still in the carriage. I'll go get it."

Upon hearing the good news, Zhao Huanxi quickly stood up and followed, shouting, "Wait for me, I'll go with you!"

The two walked to the back of the carriage and opened the back door. Inside, there were two wax eggplants. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit hot and the leaves were a bit wilted.

"Don't look at it as it's wilted now. If you water it a little, it will be as good as new at night when it's not hot." Hongying explained because she was afraid that Sister Huanxi would think that she brought something worthless.

I happily looked at the two peppers I had been longing for. Although one was a little small, it was full of fruits. Although the other had a thick branch, unfortunately there was only one fruit on it.

"Thank you very much, Hongying. I went into the mountains yesterday and found a lot of good things. You can just pick out whichever one you like and take it away."

To her, these two peppers are more valuable than any of the herbs in that pile.

Hongying agreed with him, but didn't take it to heart. She moved the two pots inside, and the little girls immediately surrounded her and asked her questions.

"This is a good thing, you must help your mother protect it~" Zhao Huanxi coaxed the girls.

Xiao Yin looked at the fruit on it curiously and asked curiously: "Mom, this looks delicious, can I eat it?"

Hongying immediately stopped Xiaoyin from grabbing the fruit and said with lingering fear, "Xiaoyin, you can't eat this. I ate half of it last time and it swelled up all afternoon."

After hearing Hongying's words and looking at Yu Yan who was sitting there and laughing, he immediately realized that this girl must have made a fool of herself by eating raw chili peppers.

Zhao Huanxi asked about the whole story, and exchanged glances with Yu Yan and laughed for a long time. Finally, Zhao Huanxi explained that this thing was not to be eaten directly, but in a few months, he would give them a definite answer.

Just kidding, every fruit on these two peppers is a treasure. It would be a waste to pick them and eat them now.

When the peppers are ripe, take out the seeds and plant them again to mature. This cycle takes up to five months.

In other words, it only takes five months to achieve pepper freedom.

Zhao Huanxi looked at the two basins on the table, and the corners of his mouth almost curled up to his ears.

"Hongying, thank you so much. Did your father help you secretly? Please thank him for me."

Hongying waved her hands, unconcerned: "It's okay, Sister Huanxi, if we interact with each other, won't our relationship last long in the future?"

"That's right, Miss Yuyan, Hongying, please follow me." She didn't intend to take anything for free. She had dug up so many medicinal herbs yesterday, and she could always pick out the right ones.

"Wow, Sister Huanxi, did you carry back all the medicinal herbs from the mountains?"

Even Yu Yan was shocked by the variety of medicinal herbs. When she was in the capital, she had learned some knowledge about medicinal herbs from the provincial doctor.

Hongying didn't recognize some of the herbs, but she did. In one corner, there was actually Gastrodia elata...

This kind of medicinal herb is hard to come by in the mountains, but Huanxi unexpectedly picked it.

"Happy, you actually have such a big Polygonum multiflorum besides Gastrodia elata."

The common ones on the market are only one or two kilograms and are considered large, but Huanxi's one looks like it weighs several kilograms and has a faint human figure...

"Yan Yan, please help me pick some too. Pang Piaotou actually helped me so much. I have to give him something back. Please help me pick some."

Yu Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, I think those Gastrodia elata are excellent. Pang Piaotou often goes out, so this is the perfect gift for him in return."

Gastrodia elata has the functions of extinguishing wind and stopping spasms, calming liver yang, dispelling wind and unblocking meridians. It is used to treat acute and chronic convulsions, convulsions and cramps, tetanus, dizziness, headache, hemiplegia, limb numbness, and rheumatic pain.

Zhao Huanxi also nodded and praised Yu Yan, "It has to be you. Right, right, this is good."

Hongying didn't know what it was, so she pulled Yuyan to explain it. By the time Yuyan finished explaining the medicinal properties of Gastrodia elata to her, her eyes were already wide open.

I never thought this ugly-looking thing could be so useful. Since my dad is away from home all year round, it would be a good idea to have this medicinal herb on hand.

So he walked beside Huanxi, took her arm, and said a little embarrassedly:

"Hey, sister, I'll just take this..."

Zhao Huanxi nodded and said to Hongying with a smile, "Okay, okay, I was just worried you wouldn't want them. Oh, and I also found a few colorful stones that look pretty. Do you know what they are?"

Yu Yan wondered if the colored stones were gemstones or something. Then, with a casual glance, she saw Wen Shanlan in the shade.

"Wow! Wenshan! I'm so glad you have such a precious orchid."

Huanxi was startled by her shout, and ended up seeing her squatting in front of the orchids, looking at the orchids curled up in the wooden basin with heartache.

“This is too... a waste of resources...” Yu Yan murmured, his eyes full of disbelief.
