"White radish is something delicious!" The smiling Cheng Zheng Yuan explained to the person before him, then turned back to Cheng Xiao Xiao, "Big sister, quick! Take them out. Let Danhang ge try some too. I'm sure he'd like it!"
Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a stare, then turned around and quickly grabbed three white radishes from the dimension and gave each of them one. She walked over to another tree and down under it and started eating the white radish.
Liu Danhang looked at the two of them chowing down on the white radishes. A glimpse of shyness crossed his simple smiling face. Then he took a big bite of the white radish. He was too hungry to decline politely.
After finishing the white radish, Cheng Xiao Xiao picked up the herbs that Liu Danhang collected. Even though they were about the same as what she had, they'd still be helpful to her father.
Suddenly, Cheng Xiao Xiao's look turned serious. Slowly she picked up a few plants that looked like orchids, and her face was covered with joy and surprises.
"Xiao Xiao, they are called Dragon Head Pheonix Tail Grass!" Said Liu Danhang to her with a smile.
Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a look and nodded lightly, "Yes, I know they are dragon head phoenix grass, a rare herb!"
Dragon head phoenix tail grass, also known as dendrobium mobile, belongs to the family Orchidaceae genus Dendrobium. In her previous life, they were on the verge of extinction and were highly precious. Allegedly they have traditionally been used by royalties historically. Emperors sought medicines that would allow them to live forever, refined from Dendrobium mobile. Cheng Xiao Xiao has seen the live plant once, and she trusted it was the same as what she was seeing in front of her right now.
Dendrobium Nobile tastes sweet, plain, and nontoxic. Mainly used for injuries and numbness from illness, also have a calming effect. Good for the five vital organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney), consumptive disease, skinniness caused by illness, improves energy, thicken the stomach walls (for better absorption of nutrients); also good for dried mouth, irritation, night sweat, colic, improves muscle growth, skin rash, weakness and coldness of the knees and feet; help with focusing and calming of the nerves, rid the body of impurities. In men, also help with weakness of the back and legs, good for sexual performance. Cure rashes, chilliness of the bones, blood circulation, clear pus. And also good for skin care.
Being able to find them here was definitely a pleasant surprise.
While the other two werent paying attention, Cheng Xiao Xiao quickly shoved half of the dendrobium nobile into the dimension. Couldnt let these kind of treasures got away.
"Its getting late, lets go gather some firewood and hed back! "said Cheng Xiao Xiao to the two.
"Okay!"
"You lead, well follow!"
Replied the two. Two hours later, the three of them returned with a full load from the day.
When they were about to arrive at their door, Liu Danhang called out to Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was walking in front of everyone, stopped. She looked a bit surprised at the slightly nervous person and asked nonchalantly, "Whats the matter?"
Cheng Zheng Yuan smiled at them.
Facing the gaze of both of them, Liu Danhang blushed and the slightly-at-lost Liu Danhang asked, "Xiao Xiao, you guys going up to the hills again tomorrow for more firewood?"
"Oh, not sure! "Replied Cheng Xiao Xiao in a neutral tone, then nonchalantly asked, "Anything else?"
"No, thats it! "Stifled, Liu Danhang immediately shook his head.
Cheng Xiao Xiao gazed over him, turned around and continued walking forward. She had no special feeling for this boy in front of her. Not to mention that she really was no interested in someone who wont yelp even when he gets hit by a stick.
After arriving at the house, Cheng Zheng Yuan bid Liu Danhang farewell. Cheng Xiao Xiao was already in the yard when Cheng Zheng Yuan ran inside and smiled at her, Big sister," you really dont like Danhang ge?"
"You are just a kid, what do you know?"Said Cheng Xiao Xiao while giving him a stare.
Cheng Zheng Yuan didn't care about the lookthat she gave him, he grinned at her, "Big sister, I think Danhang ge likes you though!"
"Nonsense, maybe it was you who like somegirl in the village!"
"Nonsense, I don't like any of those uglygirls!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Then don't go play in their village anymore!"
"Big sister..."
Mrs. Cheng was standing in front of the kitchenwatching the two of them bantering with each other. She looked at her now fullgrown daughter and seemed a bit sad. If they weren't stuck in this place, shealready at the age to look for a husband, but now…..
Cheng Xiao Xiao placed the herbs in theyard, turned and saw her mother standing in front of the kitchen. She smiledand asked, "What's the matter, mom?"
"Oh, nothing, just a little tired. Youguys go clean up with some water, dinner will be ready soon!" Mrs. Cheng puther worries aside for now and smiled at her.
"I'll go bathe at the river!" Shouted ChengZheng Yuan as he darted inside the house to get some clean clothes.
The two boys enjoyed very much bathing inthe river not far from the house. Their parents never told them they couldn'tdo it, and it had became an enjoyment for the two of them.
"Mom, I'll go into my quarters to get cleanedup!" Smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao.
"Okay!"
Mrs. Cheng looked at her 16-year-olddaughter and sighed slightly. She wasn't sure what to do with her daughter'shappiness. Of course she was aware that Liu Danhang was fond of her daughter. Itwasn't that fact that he was poor, but she really didn't think he measured upto her daughter in terms of his intelligence or his look.
Entering into the dimension, the system soundrang immediately, "Discovered a new species of black lingzhi, dimension has increased from level 3 to level 8. Added 10more fields!"
"Discovered new species of dendrobiumn.o.bile, dimension increased from level 8 to level 14. Added 15 more fields. Addedjade vine!"
"Jade vine?" Cheng Xiao Xiao wa.s.surprised, she hadn't expected something called "jade vine". She hasn't made itinside the cottage before she noticed the strange looking vine sprout in frontof the cottage and growing bigger and bigger in front of her eyes. Before long,it had climbed all over the cottage. Making the original plain-looking cottagea much more attractive look.
Although the jade vine were pretty, ChengXiao Xiao had no idea what it was. She was a bit curious. She approached it mindlesslyand reached out to touch its lush, green leaves.
It was light, cool, and smooth to the touch,almost jade-like.
No wonder it was called jade vine, thoughtCheng Xiao Xiao to herself, and her smile brightened. For some reason, she feltthat this jade vine was a bit unusual, but she couldn't quite put her finger onit.
She stayed a bit longer before she walkedaway from the jade wine to examine her now 40 plowed fields. Other than theoriginal, 15 were filled with rice ready to be harvested; the 25new fields were her biggest accomplishment today.
"Harvest the rice crops and turn them into white rice, convert rice seedlings into hay!"
She gave her orders, and immediately, the golden rice fields disappeared in front of her eyes 4lots riceece crops.
Afterward, she wentto to license the farm side to collect all the chickens and rabbits. Now that the dimension has reached level 14, she could raise chickens and rabbits in a much larger quant.i.ty.
She went inside the cottage to check on the marketbesideschickens and rab; sh; she could also raise sheep, cows, ducks, deer, etc.
Finally, she decided to stay with chickens and rabbits for now, but tens of them.
"Big sister, dinner is ready!"
