Looking at the group of people who had arrived and immediately started helping, Bai Jiang felt surprised. Not only was she surprised, but she also felt unsure of how to handle the situation.

She discreetly pulled Great Master to the side and asked, "Great Master, thank you for bringing everyone here to help. How much should I pay them?"

Bai Jiang did not know how much the village's wages were, so she pulled Great Master to the side and asked.

Great Master was taken aback and took a while to respond. He gave Bai Jiang a stern look.

"What are you saying? These are your elders. You should call them uncle. Your words will make them angry. Besides, we're from the countryside. We used to be like this. No matter which family needs help, someone will take the initiative to help."

"As for payment, you don't need to worry about it. If you don't believe me, you can ask your parents. Forget about the money, just take care of their meals."

Great Master's words made Bai Jiang feel a bit guilty. It seemed like she had been away from the village for too long and had forgotten how simple and genuine the people here were.

Bai Jiang smiled and replied, "Great Master, I will go back and prepare some tea for everyone to quench their thirst. At lunchtime, my dad will take charge and cook a feast for everyone."

"Alright, go ahead," said Great Master.

Returning home, Bai Jiang could already smell the aroma of food and medicinal herbs from a distance.

She hastened her steps and entered the house, only to find that Bai Shu was cooking following the medicinal cuisine recipes she had obtained from the system.

There was a pot of plain white porridge infused with medicinal herbs, which not only didn't clash with the food but also enhanced the nutritional value of the white porridge to the extreme.

The other pot was millet porridge, which was also filled with medicinal herbs.

Although both were just porridge, the medicinal herbs used were different, so their effects were also different.

Moreover, as soon as she entered, Bai Jiang noticed that there seemed to be a pig that had been killed in the courtyard.

Was her father planning to treat the villagers to a feast?

"Dad, did you make all this porridge? It smells amazing!" Bai Jiang couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Bai Shu didn't even spare a glance at Bai Jiang as he replied, "If you have nothing to do, go out. I'm currently studying dishes in medicinal cuisine recipes. These two pots of porridge are the simplest. Later, you can take them up the mountain for everyone to eat."

"Okay, okay! By the way, Mom, where's the baby?" Bai Jiang answered Bai Shu while looking around, but she didn't see her daughter.

"Are you looking for baby? She went to play with Gou Sheng again. You don't have to worry, it's safe in the village, and Gou Sheng takes good care of the children."

Xu Hua's words made Bai Jiang burst into laughter. "Mom, you said the same thing a few days ago."

"Hey, you silly child! Alright, alright, go outside now. I still have work to do. Go and do what you need to do!" Xu Hua said, shooing Bai Jiang out of the kitchen.

Bai Jiang looked at the busy figures in the kitchen, feeling speechless. Why did it seem like she was being constantly criticized no matter where she went?

Whether it was in the back mountain or at home.

Bai Jiang rubbed her nose and walked out of the yard, only to see the black dog rolling on the floor.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jiang asked.

Ever since she brought the black dog back last time, she hadn't had a chance to properly assess its condition. She had just given it a quick bath and let it join in guarding the house.

The black dog was very intelligent. It seemed to understand Bai Jiang's words and walked up to her, rubbing its head against her leg.

Bai Jiang smiled and reached out to pat the black dog's head. "How about this? I'll give you a name. What do you think of Wang Cai?"

A hint of disdain flashed in the black dog's eyes, and it even made a human-like sound from its nose, expressing its disagreement.

Bai Jiang looked at the black dog in surprise. "You can still understand what I'm saying? Since you don't like Wang Cai, let's call you Hei Zi!"

Hei Zi? The black dog rubbed its head against Bai Jiang's leg. Although Hei Zi still did not sound good, it was still much better than Wang Cai.

The name Wang Cai was too old-fashioned. If she called it in the village, who knows how many dogs would respond?

On the other hand, Hei Zi was a unique name.

"Hei Zi, what breed are you?" Bai Jiang asked.

At that moment, the system spoke up.

"The system can scan Hei Zi for analysis. If the host needs it, you can exchange it for points."

Bai Jiang was taken aback. "How many points do I need for exchange?"

"Using the scanning function once requires 1000 points for exchange."

"1000 points for just one scan? This system is too expensive. I'm not exchanging!"

Even if it was reduced to a hundred points by removing a zero, she wouldn't be willing to exchange it!
