Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 411 Su He Returns to Fenggu City

Because they went deep into the mountains this time, Su He saw a few wild tea trees in a valley. There was no strong wind here, the temperature was suitable, and the leaves were still green. Su He and his friends found some young buds and picked some. She had learned how to stir-fry tea and tried it. She was not very good, but she was a qualified tea stir-fryer.

We carried three large baskets back home, and only about 60 to 70 kilograms were left after frying. This was because Su He and his team packed them tightly, and they only put as much as they could into the baskets.

Su He finished roasting the tea and tasted it with her family. They all praised the tea for its delicious taste. Su He knew that this was because the tea trees grew in a good place, so the tea was of high quality. She thought that when she had time, she would go to the top of the highest mountain to see that the quality of the tea there would be better. Isn't there a saying that good tea comes from deep mountains?

Su He divided the tea into several boxes and went back to prepare to give them to General Wang An and Wang Xiaohu. With the current strength of his family, he would not be satisfied with any gift, so he might as well give some gifts made by himself.

Of course, every master has one, no matter what, it is their own gift. Anyway, the masters who follow them like it very much, and everyone keeps it and keeps it for themselves to drink slowly.

They finally saw the gate of Fenggu City. It was wide open and people were coming and going. Fenggu City was a good place to do business and buy goods. There were all kinds of things. As long as you were not lazy, you could make money by doing anything.

Even the children could earn some money by delivering letters or running errands. Everyone was smiling, no longer in a hurry. There were more and more people in fancy clothes in the crowd. At a glance, horse and mule carts were coming in and out of the city gate, all loaded with goods. Merchants from all over the country had arrived here.

Su He and his companions lined up to enter the city. They knew that this was the direction of the country. If it was the city gate outside, it would be very lively there. After they opened up trade here, merchants from other countries also came to buy and sell goods.

After the borders were cleared of war, merchants from all countries did not think the journey was long. As long as they could make money, they could make more by bartering along the way. They were not afraid of the hardships of the journey, but they were afraid of not being able to return and being affected by the war.

Su He and the others drove back home first. They had not been home for so many days and didn’t know how their four brothers were doing.

When they arrived at the door, someone knocked on it and asked the gatekeeper to open it, and they drove the cart into the yard. A servant took it directly, unloaded the goods, and put the cart and horses in place.

Su He took her two maids Yingying and Qingming back to her room. Yingying prepared water for Su He to wash her face, helped her change into comfortable clothes, and then took Qingming to their room.

The room was big enough for the two of them to sleep on one bed. Qingming put his bag on the table. Yingying told her that there was an empty wooden cabinet next to it, so she could put her things there. There was a lock on it, and Yingying gave her the key.

Qingming looked at the big courtyard and came to this house. He further realized that he had married into a good family. The Su family was quite well off.

Her daughter also knew medicine, which was her favorite. The two of them got along very well when they talked about medicine. The daughter was not conservative either, and showed her her medical books so that she could learn from them.

Qingming knew about medicinal herbs since she was young. Her father did not want her to study medicine, thinking that it was something for men to learn. She just followed him to take care of the herbs and helped to prepare some medicinal materials. She had a little knowledge of medical skills and some basic medical theories. It was only after she followed her mistress that she realized that women could study medicine.

Now she is a little obsessed with learning medicine. On the way to Fenggu City, apart from doing some chores, she spent the rest of her time reading. Yingying has complained several times that the two of them only know how to read books, and she is so boring. She doesn't know what to do except making shoes and socks.

Yingying doesn't like reading and learning characters. She gets sleepy as soon as she picks up a book. She also wants to learn characters, but the characters don't recognize her. If she can't sleep one day, she just picks up a book and within a short while, she will close her eyes and fall asleep. This hypnotic effect is unparalleled.

Finally, Su He gave up. She just wanted to recognize a few words. Fortunately, Yingying learned arithmetic and managed her own private storehouse. Now that she had Qingming, Yingying was relieved. She was mainly responsible for her young lady's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Yingying was very good at this.
