Bamboo shoots whip

  As for Bai An's imperial examination, it can only be delayed for the time being. Not to mention the issue of silver money, even Bai An's body cannot support it. Therefore, the current priority is to take good care of Bai An's body.

  But then, those medicinal materials are the most expensive, where will they go to come up with that silver?

  She never thought that one day she would be so helpless because of money problems. For a moment, she felt quite annoyed, and turned her gaze to the blue sky, casting it towards the vast high mountains on the other side of the fields. On the green bamboo above, there were large tracts of green bamboo on the mountain, and when the wind blew gently, it would suddenly make a rustling sound, making it pleasant and refreshing.

  Green bamboo, she suddenly moved her eyes, would there be bamboo shoots down there?

  Her heart was racing, but she immediately got up and quickly headed towards the Green Bamboo Mountain with a light and agile figure. This was still thanks to modern times, often running around outside, traveling and exploring various places, so even on the uneven terrain, she walked as if on flat ground. Because there were some thoughts in her mind, the whole person seemed a bit excited. As soon as her heart felt excited, her footsteps quickened, but before long, she arrived at the top of the mountain and stood beside the green bamboo.

  Standing there, An spoke softly and panted slightly, but a pair of eyes stared brightly at those bamboos, as if they could turn into money trees.

  She stood still for a moment to calm her slightly disordered breathing, then walked forward. When she saw the bamboo shoots growing among the sparse green bamboos, her eyes curved immediately.

  This should be the bamboo shoots, and now is the best time to grow. These bamboo shoots were picked back, leaving some for themselves to taste fresh, one, and another most importantly to sell money. Of course, she can also sell wine, after all, the secret recipe of Zhuyeqing can still be improved. It's just that now because of the conflict with Qingfeng Wine House and Mingyue Wine House, they took away the secret recipe of Zhuyeqing. If she comes up with an even better formula, it may bring disaster to the White family again.

  So at this moment, the Bai family should just lie low and wait for an opportunity to strike. And even if they were to sell bamboo shoots, they couldn't do it too openly, lest they attract attention from both sides.

  The things that follow still need to be carefully considered, but for now it's better to pick some and take them back home, and tonight they can also add a dish to the family.

  Looking at the somewhat dense bamboo shoots, An felt puzzled in her heart, as if there were no signs of villagers picking them. How is this possible? These bamboo shoots are a hot commodity in modern times, and it should be said that bamboo shoots are a hot commodity in modern times. Because modern pesticides are sprayed densely, everyone likes these purely natural and pollution-free bamboo shoots, which are both green and healthy. Even without this reason, bamboo shoots are also a delicious dish, so why is there no sign of anyone picking them?

  Is this someone's property? The owner hasn't come to pick it yet, so that's why it looks like this.

  The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the most likely possibility. An Yan looked at the whip in his hand with some hesitation for a moment. They've all been picked, and putting them back doesn't seem to make any difference.

  Forget it, just take it back and see whose family planted it later, and apologize then.

  She held a whip in her hand and turned to walk down the mountain, with something on her mind, she slightly lowered her head, thinking as she walked.

  "Su three daughter-in-law?"

  A voice came from beside her ear, but An didn't pay attention and continued walking forward.

  "Su three daughter-in-law?"

  Who would have thought that when passing by that person, his arm was gently held back.

  "Huh?"

  An Yan raised his head and stared at his young wife in surprise.

  "Su San's wife, I just called you."

  The young wife of An Yan smiled and said, with two dimples appearing on her cheeks, looking very lovely.

  Su San's wife, okay she really didn't realize that was being called herself. Since Su San left without saying goodbye, plus all the things that happened in the Bai family, she almost forgot that she was a married woman.

  At this time, her face was slightly stiff, and the smile at the corner of her mouth said somewhat awkwardly: "It's Chunniang, where are you going?"

  An recognized the person in front of her as the wife of the village blacksmith, whom everyone called Chunniang. This Chunniang was also the one who had spoken up for An on the previous occasion when Ruan Jia's servant girl came to demand debt repayment, so An had a good impression of this kind-hearted young woman.

  "I was going to go to the fields to see if there's enough water, but where are you coming from, Su San's wife?"

  An speech just wanted to answer, but didn't bother Chunniang a cry of surprise, "Ah, Su San's wife, how are you picking these bamboo shoots?"

  When he heard this, An Yan hastily explained: "I didn't notice at first, I saw them growing on the edge of the mountain and thought they were ownerless, so I picked some."

  An's words fell, and Chunniang was stunned at first, staring blankly at An, as if she didn't understand. When she finally understood, she burst out laughing with a "pu" sound.

  "You misunderstood me, I didn't mean it that way."

  She raised her head, and a pair of elegant eyes looked at Chunniang with confusion. Chunniang was gazed at by those clear bright eyes, and she felt her heart soften like flowing water, and the expression on her face became even more gentle.

  "Don't worry, that bamboo shoot is indeed ownerless. I'm surprised because it's rare to see people picking those bamboo shoots."

  Spring Maiden finished speaking, and suddenly thought of the current situation of the White family. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought that the White family was in such a predicament that they had to eat bamboo shoots. In Spring Maiden's opinion, those bamboo shoots were extremely bitter and astringent. Only during times of famine, when people couldn't find anything else to eat, would they go pick these bamboo shoots to eat. Seeing An Yan holding a handful of bamboo shoots now, Spring Maiden immediately thought of the White family's current difficulties.

  An softly gazed at Chunniang's changing expression, unsure why she went from doubt to sadness and pity.

  Is eating bamboo shoots in this era a pitiful thing? An Yan decided not to say more at this time, perhaps it was just a common sense problem that everyone knew. She thought so and her face showed a slightly worried expression, saying: "I still have things to do, I'll go back first."

  Chunniang naturally knew that the White family was currently in a busy season, and at this moment she heard Busan's kind words: "Hurry back, if there's anything you need help with, just come find me."

  An Yan nodded towards Chun Niang with gratitude and then turned around and headed in the direction of the White family's residence.

  Chunniang gazed at Anyan's slender figure gradually disappearing into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "He's also a pitiful person, from being a young lady with a thousand pieces of gold to now not even having enough food to eat, he actually has to eat bamboo shoots."

  Chunniang sighed and thought to herself, later in the evening she would send some eggs and vegetables over, at least it's a little help, these rural relatives, looking at them makes her heart ache.

  An Yan grasped a handful of bamboo shoots and directly entered the kitchen, at which time Wang Shi and Bai Shi had already cooked the meal. The two were silently standing in the kitchen when they heard footsteps, turned their heads to look, saw it was An Yan, and were about to turn back. But upon seeing what was in An Yan's hand, they suddenly let out a startled cry.

  Bai was still good, previously when she was at the Bai's house, she was being pampered, and at that time, the Bai family's life was also rich. Later, she became Tangshan's wife and lived a good life too, so she didn't recognize this bamboo shoot very much. At this moment, seeing it, she just looked at this thing she didn't know with slight surprise. But Wang was different, Wang recognized the bamboo shoot at a glance, her eyes were sour, and tears fell down.

  An Yan saw that she had thrown away the bamboo shoots in her hand and rushed over anxiously: "Aunt, what's wrong?"

  "Jinxiu, I'm really sorry for you. Don't worry, no matter how hard or tired you are, your aunt will not let you eat bamboo shoots."
