Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Chapter 411 Gang Leaders Attendant_1 (2/2)

It could significantly save on food consumption.

However, their taste was somewhat hard to swallow.

Qin Niu took a casual stroll and hired over thirty strong laborers. He had them help dig a deep well in the backyard.

Three meals a day, and a salary of fifteen Wen Money per day.

In the eyes of these ordinary sturdy laborers, this was already a rare and cushy job, and they all worked hard, fearing that the employer would mistake them for lazybones and kick them out.

It must be said, wherever there is money, there is respect.

Life was even more comfortable than that of an emperor.

…

Nine days later, Qin Niu’s backyard boasted a well over thirty meters deep.

To prevent collapse, the well’s inner walls were lined with a circle of blue stones.

The well’s diameter was nearly ten meters, making it a very large water well.

The day after the well was completed, he transplanted the Ice Lotus into the well.

The reason he waited until the next day to transplant was due to worries about potential collapses after the well walls had been soaked. After observing for a night and confirming everything was safe, he dared to transplant the Ice Lotus into it.

After the Ice Lotus was transplanted into the well, everything was normal for the first two days.

But by the third day, the well was filled with bone-chilling cold. When he drew half a bucket of water with a bucket, it was ice-cold to the touch.

The growth rate of the Ice Lotus had clearly accelerated a lot.

It seemed that digging a deep well specifically for its cultivation was the right method.

Qin Niu squatted by the well, observing the Ice Lotus at the bottom. It was like a quiet orchid in a deep valley, silently blooming at the bottom of the well. It continuously released cold air, making the entire well’s water ice-cold.

Normally, the water in a deep well would be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Because it was spring water.

He thought to himself that if Fire Lotus contains fire essence, could Ice Lotus also have some essence energy within it?

Could he use these two special herbs to enhance his cultivation?

Or to cultivate special skills?

He now had two special herbs in his possession, yet did not know how to use them, which felt like a waste of heaven’s gifts.

For now, the Ice Lotus was only used for the War Bees to collect its pollen to make special honey.

The Fire Lotus was practically unused, simply transplanted back into its original cave.

At that moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside.

“May I ask if Master Qin is at home? Military envoy Ye Ji seeks an audience.”

A cold female voice sounded.

“Xiao Qing, escort the guest to the front hall, I’ll be right there!”

Qin Niu instructed.

Military envoys are generally dispatched for important military matters that need to be conveyed.

Because the information that needs to be conveyed is highly confidential, it cannot be entrusted to ordinary couriers, thus the need for a military envoy.

They are often guards close to the military decision-making layer.

Such people, Qin Niu naturally could not neglect.

Xiao Qing escorted the guest to the front hall, and it was a slender woman dressed in a tight black outfit.

Her exact age was indiscernible because she wore an animal face mask.

It was somewhat like a fox face mask.

This woman’s movements were exceedingly agile. Upon entering the front hall, without any obvious preparation, her steps lightly lifted, and she was already near Qin Niu.

Bowing to Qin Niu, she said, “Ye Ji, a close attendant of the Black Tiger Gang Leader, pays respects to Master Qin.”

As someone of an esteemed lineage, despite her status as an attendant to the Gang Leader, she needed to perform the grand gesture of respect.
