A 500 grams of fresh Light Bamboo Leaf Grass was five copper coins, and a 500 grams of dried pure herb was 13 copper coins. If the roots were preserved well, it could rise to 15 copper coins, and a 500 grams of dried herbs required at least three catties of fresh herbs.
The weight of the dried herbs was mainly the stem at the root, because even if the stem was dried, it would not shrink much. It was just that it was more convenient to store.
During dinner, Lin Siyan ate her white rice silently, completely losing her usual interest in tasting delicious food. Just as he was about to put down his bowl and go to rest, he suddenly heard Li Xiaobo's voice.
"How about…I accompany you to the mountains to dig for herbs some other day?”
Lin Siyan looked up at him in surprise and found that he was full of guilt. He was like a child who had done something wrong and wanted to use his own methods to make up for it.
It turned out that Li Xiaobo had clearly felt that she was very depressed during the meal. He also knew that he had accidentally burned the herbs that she had painstakingly dried. He estimated that he had burned at least a few dozen coins. He felt the pain himself, so he made this suggestion.
Lin Siyan was silent for a moment before saying," It's okay. It's not worth it to waste your time hunting or catching fish for a few catties of herbs.”
Li Xiaobo knew that she was right. He just felt that if he didn't do something, he wouldn't be able to sleep and eat in peace. However, he didn't think of a suitable reason. He just silently finished his meal. When he saw Lin Siyan pick up the dishes and wash them, he suddenly remembered that he had seen many people by the mountain stream recently. Moreover, the fish basket he had put there had been broken several times. However, he didn't catch the person, so he couldn't say anything.
"Recently, there have been more people catching fish.”
Lin Siyan stopped washing the dishes and quickly washed them." It's all within my expectations."”
"Yes, I am." Li Xiaobo frowned slightly." I've only sold fish five or six times, but the restaurants in town seem to have spread the word that the fish here is delicious, and more people are coming to buy it."”
Lin Siyan wiped her hands with a towel, then turned her back to Li Xiaobo and asked hesitantly,"... The fish in the mountain stream are getting fewer and fewer, right?”
Actually, she wanted to ask if anyone had bought it and found that it didn't taste as good as theirs, but she didn't dare to ask. After interacting with him many times, she was sure that Li Xiaobo was very smart and mysterious. She couldn't expose the matter of the spiritual spring to him for the time being.
"It's a lot less. I'm afraid we won't be able to sell fish many times.”Li Xiaobo didn't want her to worry." If there are more people catching fish, there will be fewer people hunting. At most, we can rely on hunting to earn money."”
Lin Siyan didn't comment. She calculated the money she had saved during this period of time." The money we saved is enough to dig a fish pond. Later, you can go and discuss it with my father and ask him if there's anyone who's free."”
Li Xiaobo denied," Don't worry. There is too much rain in June. It will rain soon."”
"That's true." Lin Siyan sat by the bed and sighed." It's been sunny and rainy for a while. It's hard to dig herbs in the mountains. Recently, the mushrooms have grown a lot.”
"Don't worry, life will get better."”
Lin Siyan nodded. Ever since the two of them had shared the same bed more often, she didn't seem to be too resistant to Li Xiaobo's approach.
After dinner, it was still early, and the sky outside had not completely darkened. Li Xiaobo took a towel and went to the mountain stream to take a bath. Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained heavily again after a while. When he came back, he was drenched.
Lin Siyan quickly handed him the towel. In the dim light, she noticed that his beard was a little crooked. It was originally three centimeters below his ear, but now it went from one ear to the other, and the other side was almost completely exposed. It was as if the beard was actually glued on.
Last time she mentioned it, but Li Xiaobo changed the topic. Last time, she could say that she was wrong, but this time she was sure that she was not wrong. This person in front of her was hiding something, and even she, as his wife, couldn't know. Lin Siyan's heart was a bit cold. At first, she only suspected that Li Xiaobo was hiding something from her, so she instinctively hid the secret of the space in her heart but hesitated to tell him. Now that it was confirmed that he was really hiding it from her, that hesitation completely disappeared. Instead, she gave up the idea of telling him anything about her.
But what kind of person was Li Xiaobo in private? Lying on the bed, Lin Siyan secretly sized up the person sleeping next to her. Her curiosity was very strong. He couldn't help but think of the fairy tale from his previous life," The Story of Bluebeard." The man known as Bluebeard kept marrying beautiful brides, but these brides would disappear soon after. Until the beautiful female protagonist opened the lowest room and saw the corpses of her previous wives hanging in a river of blood... Although the final result was the same as all fairy tales, the evil Bluebeard was killed by the female protagonist's brothers.
Li Xiaobo shouldn't be the other Bluebeard, right? Lin Siyan was so scared that she couldn't help but shiver. The person next to her thought that she was afraid of the cold and covered her with the blanket. Then, he even hugged her, making her not know whether to laugh or cry at her own nervousness. Even if this man was hiding something from her, he was indeed sincere in treating her well. Those practical actions could not be replaced by a few beautiful words.
After understanding this, Lin Siyan heaved a long sigh of relief and comforted herself," Who cares, as long as the current benefits were tightly linked together. As for who Li Xiaobo was, she didn't care.
The next morning, Lin Siyan and Li Xiaobo went to the mountain stream to catch fish. As expected, they heard a lot of voices and occasionally saw a few villagers swimming up the mountain stream, as if they were planning to catch fish upstream.
"Are you here to catch fish again?" A villager greeted Li Xiaobo.
"Yeah, it's not easy to catch fish." Li Xiaobo smiled.”
"Hehe, it's alright." The other party chuckled." You guys take your time catching them. I'll go upstream with them to take a look.”
Li Xiaobo nodded. He saw that there were still many people around the mountain stream who didn't swim upstream. In fact, all experienced fishermen knew that catching fish wasn't limited to the upstream. Moreover, the current upstream was rapid, so it was still a problem to catch fish. On the contrary, the terrain downstream was flat, and the water flow was just right for fish to swim around, making it easier to catch fish.
Lin Siyan silently followed behind Li Xiaobo. She stood on the shore and observed the situation of the mountain stream. She found that the scene of fish swimming everywhere in the past was no longer there.
