Gu Ying followed MO Ruyue’s advice and set up a station in each of the counties. He sent one or two managers to each station and recruited some local people.

After taking on a few business trips, it was just as MO Ruyue had said. Not only did they save time and effort, but they also earned money. Most importantly, the people in the escort agency did not have to work so hard anymore.

Gu Ying asked the manager about the situation and everything was fine. He went home when it was almost noon.

After returning to the village, he found that the village was bustling again.

There were quite a lot of people at the entrance of the sanatorium. Most of the villagers were there.

He went out early in the morning and didn’t know what had happened at

home. From the looks of it, it shouldn’t be anything bad.

Thinking of what MO Ruyue taught the people in the sanatorium yesterday, Gu Ying guessed that it was related to this matter. He went straight to the sanatorium without even returning home.

“Uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters, don’t be anxious. Everyone can have a taste. Let’s line up!’

When Gu Ying arrived, he found a table at the entrance of the sanatorium. A small figure was standing on the table. Who else could it be but Tang Tang?

The little girl was holding a bamboo tube that was thicker than her arm. Now that she was using the bamboo tube to shout, her voice seemed to have really become louder.

The villagers gave her some face and obediently lined up.

There were many children in front of the group, and there were even a few from other villages.

As soon as the people lined up, someone inside took out a big bamboo basket. In the basket were small pieces of fried chicken that had been cut into golden pieces.

The boy who looked to be five or six years old at the front of the line was drooling.

Tang Tang poked a small piece of fried chicken with the bamboo skewer, drooling non-stop as he handed it to the little boy.

The little boy took it and put it into his mouth. The people who left the line came up one by one. Soon, the big basket of fried chicken was seen.

“Fresh crispy fried chicken, exclusive craftsmanship, 25 coins for one portion, 50 coins for two portions, first come, first served!

“Don’t miss it!”

Tang Tang’s crisp and tender voice sounded like she was really doing the right thing when she stood on the table and shouted. Everyone looked at her obedient and cute appearance. Moreover, the fried chicken was indeed delicious. A roll of oil paper was full. Twenty-five wen was not considered expensive. Nowadays, every household was not short of money and was willing to spend some money to buy delicious food.

The people in the sanatorium village had long known what was going on. Everyone usually helped out whenever they could. There were even some kind people who often gave them a basket of vegetables, cucumbers, and so on. Now that they were relying on their own abilities to earn some living expenses, everyone was happy to see it.

Most importantly, fried chicken was indeed delicious.

After some children ate it, they immediately ran home to drag their parents and grandparents, clamoring to buy it.

The fried chicken and duck in the village sanatorium were selling like wildfire. The chickens and ducks on Red Moon Mountain were also becoming scarce. As for the rabbits, MO Ruyue did not plan to let the people in the sanatorium cook them anymore. She kept them for the two inns built by Gu Ying.

The reason why the fried chicken and sauced duck could sell so well was mainly because it was the autumn harvest season again. The villagers were busy again. Once they were busy, they did not have so much time to cook. However, they wanted to eat something good, so business was booming.

Once more people bought it, and the food was really delicious, there would be a virtuous cycle. Even the neighboring villages and towns would have people come over to buy it and try it.

The veterans in the sanatorium did not expect MO Ruyue to treat them so well. They were very grateful to MO Ruyue and would send a few fried chicken and duck to MO Ruyue’s and Qin family’s homes every day.

MO Ruyue was a real landlord. When she was planting the second crop of rice, she had planted a lot of land and hired people to harvest it. Now, even Gu Ying did not have time to go to the fields.

Gu Ying chose a few people who had sold themselves to him and personally brought them along. He was busy everywhere every day, watching as he trained two of them to be butlers.

At home, MO Ruyue was the only one with dozens of in-name disciples picking cotton with them. The ten female doctors from the palace also wanted to go with them, so MO Ruyue did not refuse.

After they were done picking the cotton, they brought it back to the courtyard and placed it on the drying rack to dry. MO Ruyue then led the group to the lotus pond to dig out lotus roots.

Today was their day off, but MO Ruyue did not let them idle and practice. Although they were female doctors, they still had to know the basics.

As the saying went, it was better to travel a thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. It was also very practical for them. Instead of memorizing the medicinal knowledge all day long, it was better to start from recognizing herbs, picking herbs, and processing herbs.

The ten female doctors from the palace were specially here to learn the essence from Mo Ruyue. They also needed to be educated about medicinal cuisine, so she asked them to make a few dishes today.

Unexpectedly, those who were usually respected and noble did not want to go to the mud in the lotus pond at all. When they reached the edge of the lotus pond, they actually fought to get into the pond. MO Ruyue did not have time to stop them.

Although the water in the pond was not deep, the mud was deep.

“Don’t go too far in. It’s just at the side?’

MO Ruyue didn’t go down. There were already so many people who had gone down to dig. It would already be good enough if they could finish the food they dug up. She was too lazy to go down.

A few brave ones listened to the old people in the village telling them about the techniques of digging lotus roots. They followed the lotus stem down and touched a few plump lotus roots in the mud. They carefully swayed here and there. In a short while, they tilted a few lotus roots out of the mud.

“Wow, mine has three sections!”

“Mine has four sections!”

In fact, these people were still young girls. It was the first time for many of them to have such wild fun. They were very surprised when they successfully dug out the lotus roots.

“Ah. Sun Nu, what happened to you? Wake up, what’s wrong with you?”

“Help! Servant Sun has fainted! Someone come quickly!”

Suddenly, a girl near the pond screamed in panic.

Two of them who were close to them went over and helped to drag the unconscious Servant Sun to the shore.

“She’s been poisoned. Hurry up and carry her home.”

As soon as MO Ruyue finished speaking, they carried Servant Sun home, not caring that they were barefoot.

The others who were holding one or two sections of lotus roots also went ashore and helped to carry her shoes back.

Fortunately, the pond was not far from MO Ruyue’s house.

“Master, where did this miasma come from?

Some people thought that it should be in the pond, but they all went into the pond together, but only Servant Sun was poisoned. This was a little strange.

MO Ruyue went to find the antidote pills. “The miasma poison varies from person to person. Some people have a more serious reaction after being infected, while others only have mild nausea and vomiting, or even headaches and chest tightness. There are also some people who can’t feel the poison and are completely fine.”

Servant Sun’s condition was more serious. Fortunately, MO Ruyue always had antidotes on hand. They had a strong backer, so MO Ruyue was always afraid of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants.

“Generally, there will be some miasma in the pond. It depends on how much, especially in ponds with mud. The closer it is to the surface of the water, the more serious the miasma is. However, this situation mostly occurs in ponds that have been around for a long time.”

It was too strange for the pond to have miasma since it hadn’t even been a year..
