"Black nightshade, Angelica root, ground-ivy, Chinese iris, skullcaps..."
"Young Master, the medicinal herbs you requested are all here!"
Lu Fan was basking in the sun in the courtyard, engaging in a solo game of chess after having some porridge, when he heard Ni Yu squeal with excitement from outside.
Outside the courtyard…
Ni Yu pushed the door open. She was carrying a big black wok on her back and basketfuls of medicinal herbs in her hands. Huffing and puffing away, she hurried in.
Lu Fan raised his brows. He folded up his sleeves and laid down a pawn.
Ni Yu dumped the wok on the ground as she struggled to catch her breath.
"Young Master, the wok and these medical herbs cost two silver taels and three silver coins altogether,"
Ni Yu said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"That was fast." Lu Fan smiled.
Indeed, food was an effective motivation to get the young girl to run errands.
