Chapter 601 The End of the Matter
Yang Jiancheng reached out to take the woven bag and basket from Luo Qiao’s hands, "Why is it so heavy?"
It was only after entering the kitchen that Luo Qiao spoke, "I’m preparing to go down south in a few days, so I brought some food for you to stock up on. The cold weather means it can be kept for a while."
Feng Shumin said, "You’re going on a long trip again?"
Luo Qiao wrapped her arms around Feng Shumin’s neck and said, "Yeah, I had someone collect a batch of tea leaves for me. I plan to turn it around before New Year’s to make some profit. It’s the first collaboration, so I need to go and see for myself."
Yang Jiancheng asked, "Can’t they just send it over?"
Luo Qiao confidently poured herself a glass of water, "It’s always necessary to go the first time, plus I need to check the quality of the tea. Moreover, I want to collect some herbs from the south; it’s more reassuring to go there myself."
Yang Jiancheng knew that Luo Qiao often made pills and that the Nourishing Pills she had brought over for them previously had excellent quality and efficacy. His apprentice had now surpassed him in many respects, which filled him with pride.
As Feng Shumin continued cooking—the couple had classes that afternoon—Luo Qiao started taking things out of the woven bag, asking her master to find a place to store them. When Yang Jiancheng saw the dried bamboo shoots Luo Qiao had brought out, he was immediately touched and asked, "Where did these come from?"
Luo Qiao replied, "I bought some extra when I saw them for sale. In a few days, when I head south, I’ll bring back some fresh shoots so you can have your fill."
Yang Jiancheng was truly moved. He had only mentioned it in passing that day and didn’t expect Qiaoqiao to take it to heart. He felt a warm feeling inside.
Feng Shumin glanced at her husband and thought that the old man must have been touched indeed. Sometimes people are moved in unexpected ways. Watching the apprentice, indifferent, and the master, moved by the gesture, she laughed. Life was good like this.
