016 Obstacles

  Obstruction and Difficulty

  Bai Qi and Wang Shi exchanged a glance, both of their eyes filled with astonished expressions.

  Then, a look of relief and joy appeared in Bai's eyes, while a faint worry floated in Wang's eyes. The stains on Tang Jinxiu had not completely faded, but in just a few days, she seemed to have changed into a completely different person. Could it be that passing through the gates of hell really could change someone so much? For now, this answer was still unknown, and all they could do was take things slowly and observe. However, Wang couldn't help but admit that Tang Jinxiu had become someone who made people want to get close to her unconsciously.

  Her appearance was elegant and unmatched, with bright and refined eyes, and a face that wore a faint smile. Not flashy, not indifferent. Just like this, she easily melted the thin ice in people's hearts.

  Liu was hesitant, her thoughts had always been simple. At this moment, she saw her niece and daughter getting along well. Moreover, the expression on her daughter's face was clearly very happy, although she also had some worries in her heart, but seeing such a scene, she didn't want to disturb it either.

  It was An Yan who first discovered the crowd returning, turned her head and smiled softly, "Uncle and Auntie, you're back."

  "Hmm, what's going on with you, Jinzhu?"

  A faint smile appeared on Bai Qi's face as he asked warmly and lovingly.

  "I mentioned to my uncle yesterday that I had seen the secret recipe for zhū yè qīng in an old book. So, today I went to Hsinchu County to buy some medicinal materials and plan to give it a try."

  Upon hearing this, a look of surprise immediately floated onto Bai Qi's face. Was there really a secret recipe? He had listened to most of it yesterday as words of comfort for himself, after all, they were just rumors, how could it be that good? However, looking at his niece's bright and expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse her.

  "Uncle, Jing Yu is going to waste a whole jar of your bamboo leaf green tea. You won't be angry, will you?"

  An spoke in a soft tone, her words had a gentle and coaxing meaning. Tang Jinxiu was never hypocritical with this uncle of hers. This coquettish smile was something Bai Qi had never seen before, so he was taken aback for a moment. But soon, he burst out laughing, "Don't worry, one jar of bamboo leaf green tea is still within my means."

  Bai Qi's mood was quite good, he walked briskly to An Yan's side and comfortingly patted An Yan's shoulder.

  Bai Qi was used to working hard, so his strength was naturally extremely great. An Yan felt that with just one slap, it almost shattered her own shoulder. She felt a dull ache in her shoulder, but on the surface, she didn't show any signs of it and still had a naive and innocent look.

  It was Wang who followed beside him and was startled, her heart racing with anxiety. She knew her husband's strength, and this time he had gone down without any restraint, and Tang Jinxiu used to be the young lady of the Tang family, naturally delicate and weak, lest she be hurt by this move. So she quickly came to Bai Qi's side and pulled down his big hand, scolding: "Old man, what are you doing? Don't hurt Jinxiu."

  When he heard his wife say this, Bai Qi also reacted and suddenly looked a bit pale.

  An then said with a painful expression, smiling: "It's nothing, Uncle's strength wasn't that great just now."

  As she said this, her shoulders still ached slightly in sympathy.

  Bai Qi and Wang looked at An Yan's face seriously, and when they saw nothing out of the ordinary, they put their minds at ease.

  "Right, today Su San hunted down a pelt."

  An Wen looked at the strange atmosphere and quickly found something happy to say.

  Upon hearing this news, everyone's face indeed showed a joyful expression.

  "Su San is really formidable, if it's about hunting skills, no one in the entire Green Bamboo Village can catch up with Su San."

  Liu's face lit up with joy, and he smiled and praised her for a while.

  On the other side, Bai Qi and Wang Shi also heard and nodded in agreement. Su San, apart from being older and not liking to talk, was absolutely exceptional in every other aspect. For example, his hunting skills were truly remarkable, and he would always bring something back whenever he went out. Moreover, he himself never got injured. Another thing was that he had a strong physique, and no matter how heavy the workload was, he wouldn't even pant once. Therefore, the Bai family had always thought that Su San was a very good potential husband. And even after all those things happened later on, Su San still didn't leave the Bai family.

  An Yan looked at the expressions of the crowd, and her heart slightly trembled. Looking at them like this, it seemed that Su San was still an extremely excellent person? However, why did she feel that he had a somewhat arrogant taste?

  Before she had finished speaking, everyone rushed to the backyard to see the cloak.

  And yet, there is a calm and peaceful mind that starts to ponder the ratio of ingredients.

  After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Bai rested at home and did not go to the fields again. An Yan knew that everyone was waiting for Bai Ping's return.

  An was completely focused on the bamboo leaves and didn't notice anything else, so someone simply moved the bamboo leaves, a stack of bowls, and several packets of medicine to the backyard. In the front yard, the Bai family was playing with Pang Ya and Qing Ge, all waiting for Bai Ping to return.

  An took out five bowls, divided the medicinal materials into what he thought was a reasonable proportion. Then, he picked up the bamboo leaf green wine jug and added wine to each of the five bowls one by one. Next, he covered them with five large fresh bamboo leaves. Now all that's left is to wait for time to pass, try it again in the evening, and make some slight adjustments.

  It should have taken at least half a month of soaking time, but now that time is pressing and there's no way around it.

  After everything was arranged here, An Yan sat quietly, thinking about things quietly.

  At this rate, the first batch of improved Zhū Yè Qīng wine should be ready in about seven days. Once the improved Zhū Yè Qīng is out, it's time for production. Since we've already fallen out with Qingfeng Tower, there's no way we can sell the improved Zhū Yè Qīng to them. And Qingfeng Tower has the backing of the powerful Wu family, who dominates Xinzhu County. If we sell to a weaker force, it's possible that even the new recipe for Zhū Yè Qīng won't be safe from being stolen. It seems finding the next buyer has become a top priority.

  Just as he was thinking this way, a loud noise came from the front yard.

  An Yan hastily got up and headed towards the front yard, judging from the time and noise, it should be Bai Ping who has returned.

  Bai Ping is in charge of transporting some of the bamboo leaves brought back from Qingfeng Building to Baishui County to find new cooperative partners, but now I don't know how things are going.

  As I slowly approached the front yard, the scattered sounds also slowly entered my ears.

  "This is outrageous! How can the Wu family be so overbearing?"

  This is Liu's voice, with an indignation that cannot be concealed in his words.

  "This is how it's going to be good, in this situation, our White family's Zhuye Qing can only be transported to Qingcheng, otherwise there will really be no way out. However, if we go to Qingcheng, our costs will be even higher."
