Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 194 Where to stir up dust

The Golden Crow had not yet completely set, but the valley was already pitch black, with lanterns lit high up.

Shi Jingchan was worried that Mu Yao didn't have enough medicinal materials, so he ordered someone to send her an extra dose of medicine, along with three alchemy furnaces with different refractory levels.

Luoxiayuan is particularly cool at night, and the fragrance of lilies is everywhere, with a sweet smell that is rich and tempting.

Mu Yao refined two bottles of Guyuan Pill, one bottle of Juqi Pill, one bottle of Reshaping Pill and one bottle of Blood Coagulation Pill. Since the medicinal materials in the Poison Valley are of excellent quality, much better than those available on the market, the several kinds of pills refined this time are all high-level pills.

Xiao Douxue took a Guyuan Pill and a Juqi Pill. After only an hour, he was able to lift his right hand slightly.

"My lady, the elixir you make is really good."

Those two kinds of pills used several unpopular medicinal materials, but when combined together the effect was surprisingly good.

"Your limbs will be able to fully regain sensation in two days at most. But if you want to move normally, you have to take two more pills after seven days. You will be able to move freely within half a month. But you will have to endure some pain while your meridians are reshaped."

"Then will you accompany me?" Xiao Douxue looked at her with full eyes, his face full of anxiety.

Mu Yao nodded slightly. She had the same idea. When he was reshaping Xie Yu's meridians, he was in excruciating pain and caused a lot of noise. Xiao Douxue looked much more fragile than Xie Yu, so it was good to have her by his side.

"Dou Xue, are the banknotes on you damaged?" Mu Yao asked. The cost of refining these medicinal materials must be an astronomical figure, and she didn't want to owe Shi Jingchan a favor.

"They're all here. Just let them dry. The ink on the tickets is specially made and won't fade." Xiao Douxue raised his chin proudly, with a proud look on his face.

He asked Mu Yao to take out a stack of banknotes from her purple robe. The banknotes looked wrinkled, and several of them were stuck together and could not be separated.

"Dou Xue, I feel like these can't be used even if they're dried." Mu Yao held her forehead with her hand. Who would be willing to accept money of this quality?

"It can be used. After drying it, take it back to the bank. They will check and reopen it based on the ticket withdrawal records. However... it may not be of much use right now. How much do you need?" Xiao Douxue asked.

Mu Yao pondered for a moment and shook her head. She couldn't give a reasonable estimate of the quality of the medicinal materials in the Poison Valley.

"Dou Xue, how much do you think I should give you? I asked Shi Jingchan, but he didn't say anything."

"No sound?"

Xiao Douxue was silent.

"Did he say anything he wanted? Or hint at anything?"

There will never be pie in the sky for no reason. No matter what it is, you have to pay a price.

Mu Yao thought about it carefully and shook her head.

Oh? Nothing?

Xiao Douxue's gaze gradually became deep and distant.

If you don’t want money, do you want someone?

He stared at his wife's beautiful face thoughtfully, and suddenly a strange feeling of restlessness rose in his heart. He said unexpectedly, "30 million taels."

what?

Mu Yao looked stunned.

"Give him 30 million taels first, and if it's not enough, add more. Some medicinal materials cannot be measured by silver. If he thinks it's not enough, he can only use pills of equal value to make up for it."

Mu Yao nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, he thought of the "Eyes of the Beast" that he had refined before and the "Eight Immortals Grass" in his hand, and the uneasiness in his heart was slowly soothed.

"My wife, I'm hungry." Xiao Douxue looked at Mu Yao pitifully. He didn't eat much for dinner today in order to have the midnight snack made by his wife.

Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back. Mu Yao stood up and stretched her wrists. It was just in time to make some more midnight snacks and send some to Chu Tang and Wu Shang.

"I might be a while. Do you want someone to keep you company?"

Xiao Douxueyao shook his head and asked Muyao to take out a few books from the bookshelf and put them next to him. Now that one hand was freed from the restraints, he was still able to turn a few pages of the book.

The lights outside the courtyard were bright as day. The servant told Mu Yao that half of the incense and candles here would not be extinguished until the next morning, and the rest would not be extinguished until after noon.

Mu Yao nodded in understanding and followed the servant to the kitchen.

The kitchen in the Poison Valley has a grand layout, with fifty stoves lined up in a row. It is even more imposing than the imperial kitchen in the Dayun Palace.

Live by the mountain, eat the mountain, the food here is mostly wild products.

Mu Yao looked at the baskets of mushrooms, many of which she couldn't even name. After pondering for a moment, she honestly selected some common ingredients and made some simple quick dishes.

Half an hour later, a pot of crispy pork, a large pot of spinach and egg dumpling soup and candied sweet potatoes appeared in front of us.

She didn't have the energy to do anything more complicated. She was too tired today. Her eyelids were drooping when she was making supper.

Shen Chutang and Wei Wushang's courtyard was a certain distance away from Luoxia Courtyard. Mu Yao was worried that the caramelized sweet potatoes and crispy pork would get cold and affect the taste, so she asked the servants to help deliver them.

After thinking for a while, she asked the servants to send some to her uncle, aunt, and Shi Jingchan. She and her three husbands would have to stay in the Poison Valley for a few more days, so she made some food to show her gratitude.

Shen Chutang had a light taste and was not used to the food in the Poison Valley. The spinach and egg dumpling soup made by Mu Yao tasted salty and fresh, with a hint of vinegar, which was quite appetizing.

Wei Wushang waited until midnight today and waited for Mu Yao to come back. He was feeling angry, but when he saw the servants bringing the midnight snack she made, his expression eased a lot.

Among the three midnight snacks, he liked the crispy pork the most. It was crispy and delicious, with a moderate saltiness and fragrance, which made him want to eat more after taking a bite.

Shi Xianhe and Hua Yuerong were just about to go to bed when they unexpectedly received a "gift" made by Mu Yao herself. They put their clothes back on and sat around the table to enjoy the food carefully.

The spinach and egg dumpling soup left a deep impression on them. Simple ingredients, ordinary seasoning, why did Mu Yao make it so delicious?

The two were surprised. This delicacy is suitable for all ages, and suddenly they wanted to shamelessly get the recipe.

After receiving the three midnight snacks, Shi Jingchan sat at the table for a long time without picking up his chopsticks. He stared at them quietly, his eyes dark.

"Master, Miss Mu said that the crispy pork and candied sweet potatoes are not tasty when they are cold."

"Got it. You can leave now."

The candlelight flickered, and the boy's heart was hanging in the air.

He picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet potato and put it to his mouth. After hesitating for a moment, he put it back silently.

The fear and avoidance in the beauty's eyes today were deeply imprinted in his heart.

Since you have no intention, why bother to provoke!

The air pressure in the room was getting lower and lower, so low that it made me feel discouraged.

At this moment, Luoxia Courtyard was filled with laughter.

Xiao Douxue had never been as happy as he was today. He was able to eat the delicious food made by his wife and be fed by her personally.

He suddenly felt that this serious injury was a blessing in disguise. Especially when he learned that Mu Yao would stay at Luoxia Courtyard tonight to take care of him, his arms immediately regained their mobility.

"Is your hand okay?" Mu Yao was held in his arms, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Alright, alright, the elixir my wife made is so effective, it works instantly!"

"Then you asked me to feed you just now?"

She was extremely tired, but this man still let her feed him a whole meal.

You are so good at pretending! What should I do? My hands suddenly feel itchy.

Xiao Douxue was too proud and realized that he had been exposed. He looked at Mu Yao's fiery eyes and his ten fingers that were creaking from being crushed, and his eyes turned red with guilt.

"Ma'am, am I going to get slapped again?"

His pitiful look was very similar to that of the rhubarb dog that he used to raise.

Mu Yao exhaled a breath of foul air, pursed her lips and said helplessly: "No fight, sleep! If there is anything at night, wake me up."
