This dish must be stewed for a long ti. It would be extrely obvious if this aroma spread in the air and to avoid more troubles, many people would choose to use simpler ats instead of this even if they craved at.
However, it was different now since this little girl had already cooked it for him and he could eat it straight after warming it up.
Old Master Qin swallowed his saliva.
What delicacy had he not tried before back then?
Yet he was actually salivating over chicken soup now. Sigh...
Old Master Qin asked, “dicinal cuisine? You can obtain herbs?”
Old Master Qin was especially concerned about this.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Gu Qingyao said cautiously, “I study dicine and I go to the mountains to pluck so herbs.”
Old Master Qin narrowed his eyes imdiately.
Since such a young girl was studying dicine, she definitely had a teacher and perhaps the teacher had herbs.
Old Master Qin looked at her for a while before saying, “I need so herbs. If you can obtain them for , I will give you all those accessories.”
Gu Qingyao beca even more cautious. “Grandpa, what do you need herbs for?”
Old Master Qin smiled. “Don’t worry or be nervous, young lady. I don’t need much. I study dicine as well. I just need so herbs to treat my wife’s illness and nourish her body.
“Do you have paper and a pen? I’ll write them down for you.”
Gu Qingyao did not move.
Old Master Qin said, “Young girl, we are all doing this to survive. It’s difficult for everyone to live in the current society. Look at . You should be able to tell that I frequently wander around the black market. Do you think there’s any problem with ? Don’t worry. I promise I will not harm you.
“For people like , it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble. It’s not easy for everyone now and no one would stir troubles deliberately.”
Even if Gu Qingyao made transactions, she traded with selected people only.
While she did not have excellent communication skills in her previous lifeti, she had lived for dozens of years after all and she was aware of what humans were like.
Just because she was sensitive did not an she did not know anything.
The old grandpa before her had sharp eyes but was not a sly person. In this era, many people were actually simple beings and not as complicated as those in the future; Good people were good and bad people were bad.
This old grandpa was considered pretty all right and he was just more shrewd.
Nonetheless, he was from an influential family and it would be strange if he was not smart.
As he said, he would not stir troubles given his class status.
Gu Qingyao pondered for a mont before finally passing a pen and paper to him.
The old grandpa stared at the paper for so ti and could not see anything. He thought to himself: this child was really cautious.
After writing a list of items, he handed the paper to Gu Qingyao, who notes that it was not a prescription and just a list of herbs.
But given her skills, she could still tell that a portion of the herbs could form a prescription for treating illnesses.
The remaining herbs were supplents and so other simple and irrelevant herbs.
Gu Qingyao read the list and looked at Old Master Qin without saying a word.
Old Master Qin took out a ring from his pockets. It was a set with that ruby necklace.
“I’ll give this to you first. If you can really find these herbs, I’ll give you the remaining bracelet, earrings and brooch. There’ll still be a heavy reward which definitely won’t be worse than this set of accessories. What do you think?”
After a mont of silence, Gu Qingyao said, “All right!”
Then, she passed the jar to Old Master Qin, “Bring this ho to eat! Nourish your body.”
Old Master Qin did not reject it and thought that he would just give her more items next ti.
