The old blacksmith was startled: "Ah? Then she is..."
The shop assistant, unaware of Gu Jiao's medical skills, replied: "She is a friend of our boss."
The old blacksmith asked: "Could you kindly tell me where she lives, so I can thank her in person?"
The shop assistant responded: "Miss Gu has mentioned that if it was successful, the fee for the farming tools would be waived."
Old blacksmith: "But..."
There were no more buts, the assistant left with several carts full of farming tools.
The old blacksmith stared blankly at the departing carriage, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
Gu Jia left the vacant land on the hillside untouched for the time being. She hired nearby villagers to cultivate a large medicinal field on the mountain, and dug a fish pond and a canal. Water was brought into the pond from the waterfall below.
