Green-Headed Old Man in Valley of Medicine Masters

Huan Yan's eyes lit up when she heard the red koji wine. Among the chefs, an old man who had no presence at all raised his heavy eyelids.

"What medicinal herbs do you need? Miss Bai, please list them out one by one," Huan Yan said.

Bai Caoshi looked at Feng Zhenye, who had put her into the abyss of suffering. She had mixed feelings, and her gums were grinding a little. "Shopkeeper Feng, please record this. Danggui, Rehmannia, yams, wolfberries, Baizhu, Astragalus, Poria, Aurantium, Guizhi, Baige…"

She listed as many medicinal herbs as she could. If the other party could not prepare them, then they would have to forgive her for being unable to cook without the ingredients. This was equivalent to avoiding responsibility in advance.

As for the ingredients, the chefs knew how to make them. She only needed to consider the complementary effects of the herbs, the medicinal effects, and the art of plating the dishes.

Shopkeeper Feng was confused. Back then, when he made the eel, he only used Chuanqiu, Danggui, and Guizhi. How could there be so many now? Where could he get them?

His smile was uglier than crying, but he heard Miss Huan Yan say, "Senior Green-Headed Old Man, please prepare the above medicinal herbs. The villa will buy them at double the market price."

She was quite generous!

"I'm going." The old man walked out from the crowd. His steps were slow because his legs were limping. Every step seemed to be strenuous.

Looking at his back, Bai Caoshi thought of a few words. The vicissitudes of the world.

"Next, please help me. The remaining nine people will be divided into three groups…" Bai Caoshi arranged her helpers in an orderly manner.

Then, she quietly pulled Feng Zhenye to a deserted place and asked in a low voice, "Who is the Green-Headed Old Man? How can he prepare so many medicinal herbs in a short period of time?"

Feng Zhenye looked around to make sure that there was no one around before saying, "You don't know this. I heard that the Valley of the Medicine Masters is next door. The Medicine Master took his disciples to an unknown place to pick herbs. Only the Green-Headed Old Man is left in the valley."

When Bai Caoshi heard about the Valley of the Medicine Masters, she almost turned into a sky-piercing monkey. After finding the Valley of the Medicine Masters, did she still have to worry about being unable to cure Zhe Yu's illness?

It was a pleasant surprise. Bai Caoshi would face all the difficulties on this trip to the villa head-on even if it was filled with mountains of balds and seas of flame.

"Alright, go do your work."

Bai Caoshi sent Feng Zhenye away and found a quiet place. She took out the pirated copy of "The Prescription of the Thousand Gold of Flame" from her pocket to make a frantic last-minute effort. She had already thought of a few dishes, but it was not enough to make a banquet. The theme was not clear either. She hoped that she could find some usable recipes in the book.

It was not completely useless. At least she saw two medicinal cuisine recipes. Amidst her joy, she felt someone poking her shoulder.

She looked up and met the green-headed man's weathered eyes. The book fell to the ground, but she didn't notice.

"Senior?"

The Green-Headed Old Man inadvertently glanced at the book and did not take it seriously. "Miss Bai, the herbs have been prepared. Go take a look."

The Green-Headed Old Man had prepared sufficient medicinal ingredients, and there were a few ingredients that she had not mentioned. Bai Caoshi's eyes lit up. If this was recorded into the system, how many points would it cost? She would be rich!

"Alright, Senior, please go and rest. Leave the rest to me." After sending the Green-Headed Old Man away, Bai Caoshi hurriedly summoned the System Che Qianzi.

Old Man Jiang had already returned to Whitewater Village. When he arrived at Bai Caoshi's residence, he told Zhe Yu and Bai Xiaoshu everything he had seen in the market.

Zhe Yu only thought about it for a moment before making a decision. "Uncle Jiang, can you rent me your ox cart? I'll go look for Bai Caoshi now."

Uncle Jiang was surprised by Zhe Yu's decisiveness and eagerness to save people. He felt gratified for Bai Caoshi, but borrowing his own ox-cart, this, this… would it be dangerous? But then he thought of Zhe Yu's body. Without a car, he would die of exhaustion. Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and agreed. "Then be careful on the road."

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you." At this critical moment, Bai Xiaoshu actually still didn't trust Zhe Yu very much. It wasn't because he was worried about his intelligence, but because he was too weak.

Zhe Yu did not refuse. He needed a coachman. "You can go. When the time comes, you must listen to my orders. I will definitely bring your sister back safely."
