C109 (1/2)

A ball of soft and small life form landed on Jin Xiaolou's stomach with a creak.

Jin Xiaolou was not afraid of mice initially, but when this lively rat laid on her body, she could not help but shiver.

The golden aroma waved his hand, the Attendant bowed and brought the furnace over, placing it beside Jin Xiaolou.

The heat wave had surged, ironing Jin Xiaolou's body to the point that half of it was boiling hot.

Attendant unscrewed the copper button on the stove, took out a fire spatula, and took out the charcoal that had not been burnt out.

The hand holding the shovel extended upwards. Just as the shovel was handed to the bottom of the jar, before the coal could fall, Jin Xiaolou could already feel the mice on her stomach going crazy, squeaking and scampering.

The mouse's sharp claws and teeth tore apart Jin Xiaolou's inner clothes a few times.

His stomach was filled with a tingling sensation that made his scalp tingle. It was painful and itchy.

Golden Fragrance felt unspeakably satisfied when she saw Jin Xiaolou's uncomfortable look. She really wanted to call someone to pour the fire charcoal down the next moment and watch as the rat bit through Jin Xiaolou's skin.

Only, Golden Fragrance hesitated for a moment, she still wanted to hear Jin Xiaolou's idea.

”Do you still want to negotiate with me?” Golden Fragrance stood up and took two steps forward, standing beside Jin Xiaolou's face. She lowered her head and looked into Jin Xiaolou's eyes, ”If you want to lessen the pain, then tell me your method right now.”

Jin Xiaolou clenched her teeth, and after a moment, she relaxed her strength, and said slowly: ”I know of a method to make canned food, which can extend the shelf life of the food, and is extremely useful in battles.”

She took a deep breath and continued, ”He Zhixian knows of this matter, so he is well aware that this method will not only be beneficial to the battle of Wuli River, but will also help them in their future battles. If Hezhi County obtains this method, no matter if you keep it or submit it to the public, you will inevitably rise in rank and become rich. ”

”If I were to make a deal with Zhixian and have him take you in as his adopted daughter, I would teach him the method of making canned food. Presumably, he would definitely be willing.”

This was the only thing that Jin Xiaolou could think of in such a short period of time.

First, he would not think about whether or not justice would be willing. Most importantly, he would try to coax Golden Fragrance to believe that justice would be willing.

As long as he could get to justice, he would be saved …

Jin Xiaolou looked at Golden Fragrance, ”As long as we go to He Zhi County, I can definitely let him take you in as his adopted daughter.”

”Good idea.” Golden Fragrance laughed.

Jin Xiaolou was just about to let out a breath of relief, when she heard Golden Fragrance say: ”But I already said it before, you tell me the way, and I will spare you the pain of having your stomach ripped open.”

Golden Fragrance narrowed her eyes: ”You are very cunning, trying every possible means to get close to the county magistrate, but unfortunately, I am not like those idiots from Jin Family, where you can lead me by the nose. If you write down the method of making the canned food, I will show it to you and show it to justice. If he accepts me as his adopted daughter, that will be your win, so I will send you to Wuli River later on. ”

”If he doesn't fulfill my wish, you will suffer.” Golden Fragrance's face darkened, ”I will cover the bottom of the pot with the charcoal and let the rat bite into the tender flesh of your belly. I will bite into it, remove the charcoal, put it back into the pot, and then bite into it again, inch by inch, until a hole appears in your stomach.”

Jin Xiaolou could feel that on her stomach, the rat was grabbing onto her skin and flesh with its claws. Goosebumps appeared on her arms, and for some reason, she thought of Gao Lang.

He did not know if Gao Lang was better from the cold.

If he did not return home soon, Gui Zhi would have been waiting anxiously for tonight's dumplings and they would not be able to eat well.

And there was also the Lin'er, who was still so young, perhaps he wouldn't even remember his mother's appearance when he grew up …

”Alright, I'll write.” Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth.

Golden Fragrance smiled in satisfaction. Immediately, she took out her brush and ink.

The servant let go of Jin Xiaolou's hand and placed the paper in front of him, allowing him to slowly write.

Golden Fragrance had never studied in the past few years, so she knew a few words.

When Jin Xiaolou finished writing, Golden Fragrance took a look and kept the recipe, then ordered: ”Watch this person carefully.”

With that, he ignored Jin Xiaolou and took the prescription out the door.

Jin Xiaolou did not dare play any tricks with the golden spice, even though she had the recipe, she did not go to see Old Master He directly. Instead, she went back to her own room, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the formula word by word.

This time, she took a closer look at the canning method and felt that she could read most of the words. However, she could not understand what those strange words meant.

Seeing the sky darken, Golden Fragrance decided not to think any further and prepared the written recipe for the fight. Only then did she go to see justice.

All the family members of the house were sitting under the stage.

Just as Zhao Jie was bored out of his mind watching this, he saw Golden Fragrance's figure flash past him. Just as he was about to stop Golden Fragrance, a Attendant wearing a blue jacket walked over, and as he was refilling Zhao Jie's tea cup, he bent down and said: ”Young Noble, Chang Wei is back.”

Zhao Jie's eyes lit up, he stood up and followed the Attendant.

On the stage, the woman that was singing Qingyi recited Duan Yunbai, then swung her long sleeve to brush against the face of the man who was beating the drum at the side.

The man's expression changed, his eyelids lifted up, and he saw a young master leaving from below.

The drums started beating at an inappropriate time, all the way until Young Master Huang's figure disappeared from the courtyard.

Zhao Jie followed Attendant into a small room at the side of the inner courtyard. Inside, there was a person waiting there.

Seeing Zhao Jie come in, the man quickly kneeled down and greeted him. Zhao Jie waved his hand and went straight to his seat before asking: ”You went there for ten days. How was it?
