Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Making A Deal
She calmly put the plate of egg pancakes on the table and returned to the kitchen. When she came out with a large pot of shrimp porridge, a large plate of stir-fried lotus roots, and a plate of braised pork belly, Jian Liu and his brothers all swallowed their saliva.

After Duan Yixin put everything on the table, she sat down, filled her bowl with shrimp porridge, picked up side dishes, and started eating without saying a word. Seeing this, Shiwu and others looked towards Jian Liu, waiting for his order.

Jian Liu glanced at Duan Yixin and saw that she didn’t care about them. He thought for a moment, nodded, and filled his bowl with shrimp porridge. Following him, the other five hungry people also filled up their bowls and began to eat in silence.

After her experience of eating with the county magistrate’s assistant, Duan Yixin already took some egg pancakes and side dishes on her small plate. Just when she finished an egg pancake and half a bowl of shrimp porridge, the six men in front of her had already cleared all the food on the table.

Looking at the empty plates and pot, Duan Yixin was speechless.

“…” These men really can eat.

Duan Yixin looked at the six embarrassed men and then continued to eat calmly. After finishing her meal, she put down her empty bowl and chopsticks. Then she looked at the six people sitting around the table and asked, “What do you want from me?”

Hearing her question, everyone else looked at Jian Liu. Jian Liu thought for a moment, looked at Duan Yixin’s calm expression, and said, “Young Lady, do you know a plant called Hui Xiang?”

Duan Yixin nodded, “I know. Why do you ask? Do you want Hui Xiang?”

Jian Liu nodded and said, “Yes. We need a lot of Hui Xiang. If possible, we want them before tomorrow.”

Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard what he said. She remembered she collected some Hui Xiang when she went to the forest with Chi Xinru.

Consuming Hui Xiang as food brings many health benefits to the body. However, if people want to use Hui Xiang as medicine, they should know that it cannot be taken without a prescription. There are many restrictions and side effects of taking Hui Xiang, so the patient needs to follow the prescription to be safe.

After a moment of silence, Duan Yixin said, “I don’t have much Hui Xiang with me now. However, I can take you to the place where I found Hui Xiang.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the six men in front of her lit up. Jian Liu looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Young Lady is willing to lead us to find Hui Xiang. What reward do you want?”

Duan Yixin looked at the six of them for a long time before saying, “I am not short of money or food, but I am short of people.”

When they saw her eyes, the six secret guards shivered out of instinct. Jian Liu had a bad feeling in his heart and asked cautiously, “What do you mean, Young Lady?”

Seeing his wary look, Duan Yixin smiled and said, “Please don’t worry. What I want should be easy for you to accomplish. Since you have investigated me, you should know that there is an old man named Master Chen who wants to marry me.”

Hearing this, Jian Liu and the other four looked at Liushiliu one after another. Liushiliu nodded and confirmed that Duan Yixin’s words were true.

Seeing this, Jian Liu’s eyes darkened, and he thought, ‘Who dares to covet Master’s people? Although Master never asked about her anymore after visiting her a few years ago, he still arranged for someone to observe her and deliver reports every month. If Master knew, then it would be troublesome. This problem will not end with just killing that man named Master Chen, but will also impact many people.’

Thinking of this, Jian Liu looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Young Lady, do you want me to take care of Master Chen for you?”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “I don’t want his life. As long as he doesn’t bother me anymore, that is enough for me.”

Since what Duan Yixin wanted was the same thing as what he wanted to do, Jian Liu nodded and said, “Leave this matter to us. I assure you that this person named Master Chen will never appear in front of you again.”

Duan Yixin was very satisfied with his answer and said, “Then we have a deal.”

After saying that, she stood up and said, “After I clean these up, we will leave.”

Before she could pick up the empty bowl, Liushiliu had already taken it away and said, “Young Lady, you should get some rest before we go to the forest. We will clean everything up for you.”

After saying that, the six secret guards cleared the table and washed the dishes in an orderly manner. Seeing how they worked, Duan Yixin was even more convinced that these people were well-trained soldiers. Their actions and working methods are exactly the same as those soldiers under Captain Yu.

While Duan Yixin was waiting for Jian Liu and the others to wash the dishes and bring them back to the kitchen, Duan Yixin went to check the strawberry seeds and Chinese cabbage in the woodshed.

Duan Yixin was very surprised to see that the Chinese cabbage had grown five leaves and that most of the strawberry seeds had sprouted.

According to the normal growth conditions of strawberries and Chinese cabbage, it takes at least a few days for the seeds to germinate and more than seven days to grow more than three leaves.

‘What is going on here? Why do these seeds grow faster than their normal growth cycle? Is this because I used materials from my world to make the nutrient solution? No. Although I used materials from my world, they were all ordinary minerals and medicines. There should also be available in this world.’
