Dou Wang stared at the plant in Lin Chunnuan's hand for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Lin Chunnuan's face. He did not say anything for a long time, but Lin Chunnuan thought that Lin Chunnuan did not hear him clearly, so she said it again.

"Wangzhige, here are the tea leaves."

He was curious as to why Lin Chunnuan solemnly introduced it to him, saying that it was not an ordinary plant.

"Wangzhige, this plant is called Tea, it's a type of plant that can be used to soak in water. Furthermore, it's quite valuable, even rich people would like to drink this now."

Lin Chunnuan didn't know whether or not anyone drank tea in this space and time that she had traversed through, but to her knowledge, tea was already a very common beverage that had existed since a very early age. Especially in the ancient times, tea was a must in daily life.

Now that Dou Wang didn't even know what the tea leaves were, Lin Chunnuan was a little unsure, but she quickly realised that there were definitely tea leaves here. It was just that the little mountain village she lived in was too rundown and poor, to the point that there wasn't any need to pay attention to such things in her life.

"You said that everyone with money drinks it? This kind of plant?"

Dou Wang was able to pull out a leaf,

"I used it to soak water at home. It tasted bad."

Lin Chunnuan was laughing out loud. This young lad was too cute, but to have this kind of practical spirit, it seemed like she did not find the wrong person to help him.

"Wangzhige, you can't drink this directly."

Lin Chunnuan also grabbed a piece of the young sprout of the tea leaves.

"Wangzhige, this one needs to be stir-fried. It cannot be directly drunk. After being stir-fried, the tea leaves will have a slightly astringent and fragrant taste, and will take a long time to finish."

Hearing that Lin Chunnuan explained it so clearly, Dou Wang could not help but believe that Lin Chunnuan really understood this thing. It was just that, why had he not heard of it before?

"Warm Spring, no one seems to be drinking this stuff in our village. How do you know about it?"

Lin Chunnuan was secretly shocked, she was too proud of herself and did not give herself any leeway.

"Let's do this …"

Lowering his head, Lin Chunnuan quickly calculated in his heart what to say in order to make others believe him even more.

"It's hard to say, but I don't have to ask. It's just a little strange."

In the end, Lin Chunnuan did not think of a suitable reason, Dou Wang had already let her go, but what he said next made Lin Chunnuan feel uncomfortable.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and we're not very close. You don't have to explain it to me."

Lin Chunnuan quickly shook her hands, causing the leaves of the tea leaves to flutter about.

"Wangzhige, it's not that I don't want to explain it to you, but it's just that it's really hard to explain. Don't be angry with me, okay?"

"It's fine. It's spring. I'm not angry."

Seeing the little girl anxious, Dou Wang reached out his hand, wanting to stroke the little girl's hair as a form of comfort. However, when he was halfway through, he pulled his hand back.

"Warm Spring, I hope you can tell me if you have the chance in the future."

When you trust me enough, I hope to hear you tell me the reason yourself. I hope there will be a day when I won't be in a hurry.

"En, when I have the chance in the future, I will definitely tell you. Wangzhige."

Lin Chunnuan didn't want to lie to the young man in front of him, but even if she told the truth, he wouldn't believe it right? And if he believed it, she might as well treat herself as a monster.

However, Lin Chunnuan made a decision in her heart. She wanted to be friends with this young man in front of her, and moreover, she wanted to be very good friends with him. She hoped that she didn't see the wrong person, and when the day came that he trusted her enough, she might be able to tell him this secret.

"What's next, what are you going to do with the tea leaves?"

That was why he knew that she definitely wanted to use these tea leaves. He did not think too much about it, but just wanted to see if there was anything that he could help with.

"Wangzhige, have you ever left the village?"

Lin Chunnuan carefully asked Dou Wang about it. Although she was confident that there would be tea in this time and space, she still had it before it was confirmed.

Dou Wang was still very proud of his trip to town.

Otherwise, no one would dare to let him walk so far. It must be known that not only was the journey going on for a long time, but because the road was through a forest, the forest was also very dense, so it was quite dangerous to walk through it.

If he did not go up the mountain often and was familiar with the woods, he would not have dared to take that road. Who knew what kind of situation he would encounter, especially when he returned from the town. It was already late in the night by the time he arrived at the woods.

"Then can you go back to town sometime and see if you can sell tea leaves there?"

So, he wanted to sell tea leaves. Someone would spend money to buy this kind of plant that could be found all over the mountains. Dou Wang was very suspicious. However, he didn't want to disappoint the little girl, so he nodded his head.

"Sure, but, how would I know where to sell it? Are we going to the store in town to see if there are these kinds of leaves?"

Dou Wang pointed at the green plant on Lin Chunnuan's hand. He needed to ask about it clearly, otherwise, it would be a wasted trip, he did not want to disappoint the little girl.

Looking at Dou Wang's somewhat blank gaze, Lin Chunnuan finally realized what was going on. Dou Wang shouldn't be able to read, and he probably wouldn't be able to recognize any tea shops or anything like that, and furthermore, he had never seen tea leaves before. Even if he saw them in the town, he wouldn't know that what he was seeing was actually the stuff that he was holding in his hands.

"How about this, Wangzhige, let's not talk about the matter of going to the town first, tea leaves have a flowering period, we should first pick the tea leaves and cook them, if you keep the prepared tea leaves well, we can leave them for a long time, at that time we will think of a way to sell the tea leaves."

Lin Chunnuan thought, don't look at the market first, if the tea leaves pass the harvesting period, it would be useless to look for a market, so she decided to make the tea leaves first. With the tea leaves, she slowly looked for a market, then, she would be able to do it.

"Wangzhige, do you have a big pot in your house? You need such a big pot."

Lin Chunnuan pointed with her hands. She knew the approximate size, and whether there were any requirements for the exact size, Lin Chunnuan did not quite understand either. Right now, she was regretting not asking her teacher for these details.

"Yes, what do you want?"

Dou Wang did not hesitate to donate his family's metal pot. As long as the little girl liked it, he would give it to her.

"How many are there? I need two pots and two stoves?"

Dou Wang wanted to scratch his hair, but this was a bit difficult.

"My house has two stoves, but there's only one pot. What do you think?"

Lin Chunnuan subconsciously scratched her head, his hair was in a mess. Dou Wang held her breath for a long time before she finally muttered to Lin Chunnuan.

"Girl, don't scratch your hair."

Lin Chunnuan was completely stunned. When she raised her head and saw Dou Wang's messy hair, she finally understood what Dou Wang was trying to say. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at Dou Wang's nice hair.

"You're still talking about me? Aren't you the same? Look at your messy hair."

Seeing her happy smile, Dou Wang decided to let her off.

"Warm Spring, just tell me what you want to do first. If you want to go get some tea, I'll go up the mountain and help you."

If he could help her, he would do it. It would only be a little bit of time and effort, and Dou Wang didn't care about it at all.

"Yes, I want to pick the tea leaves first, but before that, can Wangzhige help me pick some mint? I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow to pick mint. I hope the mint I pick once is enough for us to use. "

Hearing that Lin Chunnuan had switched her focus back to the Mint, Dou Wang was completely confused.

"Warm Spring, what the hell are you doing? You want to go to the town now, then you want to pick some tea leaves, and now you're talking about picking mint? Can't you at least have some skill?"

He had to do one thing well before he could be the next.

"Wangzhige, let's first harvest the mint. When we get back, I'll make the mint and you can take it to the town's pharmacy to sell it. Then you can buy a huge iron pot.

Lin Chunnuan had thought things through clearly in her mind, things really needed to be completed one by one.

"Alright, as long as you decide what to do, I'll accompany you. However, you don't need to follow me up the mountain, it's very dangerous. I'll go up the mountain right now and pick the mint at night. You wait at your house tonight, I'll send it over to you directly, no one should see me in the dark."

Wangzhige, take it back to your house. I'll go to your house to cook it tomorrow and take back the mint.

Dou Wang said, "Okay."

"Oh right, Wangzhige, do you have any beehives on the mountain? Can you get some honey?"

Towards Lin Chunnuan's endless thoughts, Dou Wang didn't ask anymore.

"Yes, I'll think of a way to get some back."

"Thank you so much, Wangzhige. I will be working hard this time, remember to pick more mint."

Seeing that Dou Wang nodded his head in agreement, Lin Chunnuan then let him go without worries, and went to pick up the firewood by herself. She had been absent-minded all day, and her heart was filled with anticipation for the future.
