Jiang Li did not expect that the seedlings in the planting troughs had already been pre-ordered by the authorities before they were even harvested.

"If we have any extra at that time, we will exchange them with the authorities."

Jiang Li suppressed her joy and tried her best to appear calm.

Zhou Tian was very happy to receive a promise.

He believed that with Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo's abilities, they could manage to survive the natural disaster.

"Then we'll leave first."

Jiang Li swiftly closed the door and ran back inside.

Ye Jingmo's expression changed, thinking that Jiang Li was feeling unwell, and he quickly followed her.

"what happens?"

Jiang Li pulled up her trouser leg, silently revealing her calf, which was covered with four or five mosquito bites.

She had just sprayed mosquito repellent before going out, and she was bitten after standing at the door for only a short while.

He even bit me through my pants.

The itching made her almost want to scratch herself without caring about her image.

These mosquitoes are absolutely outrageous.

Ye Jingmo sighed helplessly. Jiang Li used to be the one who attracted the most mosquitoes at home.

She suffered the most from the large number of mosquitoes.

Are there any mosquito-repelling plants in the space?

Take a few pots outside to plant, otherwise you'll get bitten every time you go out.

Ye Jingmo knelt down on one knee and gently rubbed the mosquito bites on Jiang Li's fingertips, which were covered in mentholatum.

Jiang Li could feel the calluses on Ye Jingmo's fingertips as he gently stroked her skin, sending a tingling, electric-like sensation spreading from her calves to her entire body.

Jiang Li forced herself to focus her attention on Ye Jingmo's problem.

The itching on my calves was covered by a cool sensation.

"Does it still itch?"

Ye Jingmo looked up at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook her head and took out the basil, mint, and other plants that she had been given as gifts when she visited the flower and bird market.

The plant was very small, not even reaching the edge of the flowerpot.

Ye Jingmo picked up the flowerpot and walked out. Jiang Li wanted to follow, but he stopped her.

"There are so many mosquitoes outside, you shouldn't go out. You'll just get bitten for nothing."

I can go out.

These are just a few pots of grass; they're not heavy to carry. You can just wait at home.

Jiang Li wanted to help, but the cool sensation on her calves told her that she was just a go-to person for mosquitoes to eat.

So Jiang Li stood at the door, watching Ye Jingmo's every move.

Ye Jingmo placed three pots of basil on each side of the cement edge at the entrance, with each pot spaced half a meter apart.

Mint leaves were placed on both sides of the bluestone path every other row.

Three pots of basil were placed on each side of the main entrance.

Jiang Li looked down at the remaining mint on the ground. "Brother Mo, why don't we put this mint in the backyard?"

Although they rarely set foot in the backyard now, Jiang Li thinks that putting some mint in the yard can repel mosquitoes and reduce the number of mosquitoes in the house.

Ye Jingmo placed mints in the four corners at the back. After placing the last pot, he clapped his hands and prepared to get up.

suddenly,

"Brother Mo, little..."

Jiang Li watched as a black bag was thrown over the wall, heading straight for Ye Jingmo's head.

Before Jiang Li could finish speaking...

Ye Jingmo immediately sensed that something was being thrown at him.

He braced himself with one hand on the ground, pushed off with his feet, and dodged to the side.

In the blink of an eye, he brushed past the bag.

Jiang Li rushed anxiously to Ye Jingmo's side, grabbed Ye Jingmo's arm, and helped him up.

"Brother Mo, are you alright?"

Ye Jingmo brushed the dust off his clothes and silently shook his head.

His sharp eyes were fixed on the bag on the ground as he slowly walked to it.

Jiang Li followed closely behind, looking at the bag with a puzzled expression.

No, who's throwing things into their backyard?

The answer was revealed the next second.

Qin Yue received a call, and as soon as she answered, she heard her whisper:

"Sister Jiang Li, we put the mugwort in bags and threw them in your backyard. Could you go and check if we have any?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Li spoke:

“We’re in the backyard. A bag just flew in and almost hit Brother Mo.”

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yue apologized frantically. She hadn't expected Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li to be in the backyard; she had assumed they were at home.

Over there, one could vaguely hear Qin Yu reprimanding Qin Yue for her reckless behavior.

"Next time, let us know in advance so we can be prepared for your aerial sword attacks."

Jiang Li chuckled softly. She knew Qin Yue didn't mean it, so she teased Qin Yue.

"Okay, I won't do it again next time."

"But there are so many mosquitoes outside, Sister Jiang Li, what are you doing in the backyard?"

Qin Yue waved away the mosquitoes circling in front of her and asked Jiang Li curiously.

Jiang Li looked at the mint in the corner; it wouldn't be good to give away a potted plant.

After thinking for a moment, she took out mint and basil seeds from her spatial storage.

It was also packaged in a black bag.

Are you still outside the back gate?

"Yes."

"I'm bringing you some things, so please stay away from me."

Jiang Li didn't wait for Qin Yue's reply before throwing the bag away forcefully.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu retreated to a safe distance, and saw a bag thrown from the wall.

Qin Yu stepped forward, picked it up, and looked inside. It contained seeds of mint and basil.

"There are seeds inside, and they all have mosquito-repellent properties. You can go back and find a pot to plant them."

Placing it at home can help repel mosquitoes to some extent.

"Okay, Sister Jiang Li, let's head back now. There are too many mosquitoes here."

Hearing the buzzing sound in her ears, Qin Yue almost felt like she had tinnitus.

Jiang Li hung up the call, and Ye Jingmo picked up the bag and went back into the house together.

The black bag was bulging. Ye Jingmo weighed it in his hand and estimated it to contain three or four pounds of mugwort.

Jiang Li plans to use these mugwort leaves to make mugwort rice cakes.

"Brother Mo, why don't you sit on the sofa? I'll take care of these mugwort herbs."

Jiang Li shooed Ye Jingmo to the sofa and then turned and went to the kitchen.

Three or four pounds of mugwort is too much. Jiang Li plans to use one pound of mugwort this time and put the rest in her space for later use.

Jiang Li put the washed mugwort into the juicer, and after the whirring sound, she poured the green juice into a bowl.

The green juice blends with the glutinous rice flour.

Jiang Li stirred the mixture with her hands, and a green glutinous rice ball slowly appeared.

That green was as deep as jade.

Jiang Li placed the glutinous rice dough on the kneading mat and divided it into two pieces.

She plans to make two flavors: one plain without filling, and the other with red bean paste filling.

The red bean paste filling was pre-packaged in a bag.

Jiang Li rolled the glutinous rice dough into small balls and then flattened them.

The round, cake-shaped mugwort rice cakes then appeared.

She put the plain mugwort cakes into the steamer, and then went to make red bean paste flavored mugwort cakes.

This is a bit more complicated than the original flavor.

Jiang Li added red bean paste filling to the flattened mugwort rice cake.

At first, I wasn't very skilled, and the first few pieces were either broken here or leaking there.

It took Jiang Li a long time to mend and patch the opening before it could be sealed.

However, as she became more skilled, Jiang Li was able to make a mochi faster and faster.
