A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 204 Dendrobium officinale

Zhou Jingze also stood up. Qiqi opened the alchemy furnace. Eight pills were inside. Qiqi happily put them all into their respective vials. Qiqi had prepared many vials for the pills. Master, Master's Wife, and herself often refined pills.

There were bottles for a hundred pills, bottles for fifty, bottles for ten, and bottles for one. Qiqi was very careful, worried that her master and mistress wouldn't have enough bottles. So she prepared thousands of bottles and placed them in the alchemy room.

Zhou Jingze saw Qiqi refine eight pills at once and happily hugged Qiqi.

"Qiqi, you are getting better and better. Your alchemy skills are almost catching up with your master's wife." Zhou Jingze praised.

"Brother Jingze, I'm hungry. Let's go, have some food first, and then go rest."

They hurried to the restaurant, and Zhou Jingze went to serve the dishes. Qiqi saw that they were all her favorites: crab, fried shrimp, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, rice porridge, and small cakes.

"These are all my favorites. Thank you, Brother Jingze."

Qiqi drank some rice porridge first and then started eating crabs. She gave Zhou Jingze a crab and asked him to eat with her. Zhou Jingze took it and put it in the bowl, then started peeling the crab for Qiqi and put it in a small bowl.

He was satisfied when he saw Qiqi eating something delicious. Qiqi saw that Zhou Jingze didn't eat, so she brought over the plate of shrimp and started peeling it herself.

"Brother Jingze, eat the crab first. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Crab is all about its freshness. I'll peel the shrimp myself first, and you can help me after you finish eating." Qiqi also took a bite of the stir-fried pork with chili peppers. It was delicious, the meat was tender and not overcooked. The shrimp had a slight spicy taste, but the meat was tender and chewy, and the cooking time was just right.

"Brother Jingze, you have learned to cook too. That's great, the food is delicious. If the Crown Prince cooks for me, the ministers will criticize me to death if they tell everyone. I can't be the Crown Princess anymore. They will also ask you to divorce me." Qiqi teased

"They dare not. I simply wish to wash my hands and make soup for my wife. Let them talk. Besides, they will never know."

"You have learned a lot of modern words now. For example, midnight snack. Kudos to you, honey. You are becoming more and more like a modern person." Qiqi praised.

"I learned all these from you. You taught us a lot of things imperceptibly. Thank you, Qiqi. God let you come to me, which has brought a lot of convenience to me and the country, and also saved the Great Zhou and the people. It's great to have you." Zhou Jingze said with emotion.

"Brother Jingze, these are what I should do. Since I'm here and I'm your wife, these are my responsibilities. If I were an ordinary citizen of Da Zhou, I would also lend a hand to save the people from danger."

Qiqi and the others chatted as they ate. Soon, they were full. They had eaten all the food on the table. They didn't waste a single bit of food. This was their long-standing tradition. Master and his wife also never wasted food, knowing that grain and vegetables were hard to come by.

They didn't leave the room and rested in the bedroom of the medical room.

Qiqi woke up at dawn and touched her pillow. Zhou Jingze was already up. Qiqi quickly washed up and went to the kitchen to cook. She saw Zhou Jingze making porridge. The buns were already heated up. The pickled vegetables were already on the plate.

"Qiqi, the porridge is almost ready. Take the buns and pickles to the kitchen first. I'll serve the porridge over later. Ask Xiaorui to come in and have some together."

"Okay, Brother Jingze." Qiqi brought the buns and pickles to the kitchen and left the space, where she saw Xiaorui dancing with a sword. She waved at Xiaorui, and he understood. She was asking him to go to the space to eat.

The three of them finished their breakfast quickly and went to explore the Misty Forest.

The three of them teleported to the outskirts of the Misty Forest. They followed many martial artists into the forest, listening to their conversations as they walked.

Were the footprints we saw yesterday from a strange beast or a bear? We also saw a few bears and cubs nearby. We've been here for over ten days and haven't seen even a hint of a strange beast. Are they spreading rumors to bring us back again?

Don't you believe it? I heard many hunters saw unusual beasts. With so many of us, we've disturbed it, frightened it out of its wits. Everyone's searching, and if we find it, we might get a share. We're just having fun. Maybe there's something we need in the Misty Forest. Many people have found rare wild medicinal herbs. They're worth a lot of money. Let's hurry and catch up with them. Once we get inside, we'll separate from them and take a deserted path to see if we can find any Chinese medicinal herbs.

Qiqi and the others heard it and, entering the depths of the Misty Forest, took a different path they hadn't explored yesterday. They released Xiaobai. It ran ahead, and Qiqi and the others followed behind, using the Lingbo Weibu technique. Zhou Jingze also used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings for danger.

Xiao Rui ran to the front, following closely behind Xiao Bai. Qi Qi also released her spiritual awareness to observe what was happening within a dozen miles, to see if any unusual beasts had appeared. After running for a dozen miles, they encountered a cliff blocking their path. Xiao Bai scratched at the stone with his claws.

Qiqi saw it and picked up Xiaobai. Xiaobai raised his head and meowed upwards.

"Xiaobai, there are herbs up there. Let us go up." The little white cat nodded.

Xiao Rui flew up the cliff, observing it as he went. He saw many herbs that looked like Dendrobium officinale growing in the cracks of the cliff, so he picked some and flew down.

"Look, isn't this Dendrobium officinale?" Xiao Rui handed the herb to Qiqi.

Qiqi took it. Sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating the dendrobium. Qiqi was amazed. This was a wild Dendrobium officinale. It thrives in moist environments, on rocks, cliffs, and in crevices along steep slopes. It thrives in southern temperatures. The misty forest is perfect for it.

"Xiao Rui, this is Dendrobium officinale, great. Our trip this time was not in vain, you know. Wild Dendrobium officinale is hard to come by. It is a precious Chinese medicine. If we hadn't come across it by chance, we wouldn't be able to find it even if we searched for ten days or half a month. Our Xiaobai is my little lucky star. Dendrobium officinale has the effects of delaying aging, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and soothing the liver and gallbladder. My longevity pill can be used with it." Qiqi said.

Qiqi took out a few backpacks and a small shovel from the space, and Zhou Jingze and Xiao Rui took them.

"Xiao Rui. Are there many herbs like this above?" Zhou Jingze asked.

"I've seen quite a bit, and I didn't have time to look elsewhere. Qiqi, wait for us downstairs. We'll come down after we finish picking. Be careful."
