C3 Golden Sesame

The current Chu Pann'er was so helpless that she wanted to curse, why had she not heard of snakes on the mountain?

Chu Pann'er had originally wanted to catch some fish by the river, but she did not expect to run into a snake. Seeing the snake's entire body stiffen, let alone trying to dodge, the snake seemed to have smelled Chu Pann'er's human scent and bit down.

"Is there anyone here? I've been bitten by a snake …" Everyone had a weakness, Chu Pann'er's weakness was to be afraid of snakes, the moment he saw them, his entire body would turn cold, and he would not be able to move. Now that she was bitten by a snake, she did not dare to move, fearing that the poison would spread.

The sky was about to turn dark. If no one found out, she would probably die here. Chu Pann'er's legs were numb, the fear and hopelessness that was waiting for death crawled into his heart like a snake.

"Miss?"

In the midst of his despair, a low and deep male voice entered his ears.

As if seeing her lifeline, Chu Pann'er quickly replied: "I'm here, I've been bitten by a snake, can a real man help me call my family? I am Chu Pann'er, the big girl from Chu Clan. "

The man acted as if he didn't hear her, walking to her side and naturally squatting down. "Where have I been bitten? How long have I been bitten for?"

"My left ankle has just been bitten. My legs are numb, the poison should have entered my body."

The man frowned, he lowered his head and naturally grabbed Chu Pann'er's ankle, and pulled out the dagger at his waist: "Endure it." The tip of the blade stabbed in, causing some blood to spurt out. It was actually red.

Chu Pann'er used to live in a palace with no man by her side, this was her first time being touched by a man in such a private place. Strangely, she did not resist.

The man didn't think much about it. Seeing that the blood was red, he retrieved his dagger and simply bandaged her ankle. "Can you walk?"

Chu Pann'er frowned, seeing that the blood on the ground was indeed red, she thought to herself strangely, "I was not poisoned, why are my legs so numb, as though I couldn't walk anymore."

The man raised his head and saw the panic on her face that had yet to fade. He chuckled softly. "The young lady was frightened by the snake."

Chu Pann'er was blushing, not because she was shy, but because she was ashamed. She was actually frightened by the snake until her legs went limp. How embarrassing, truly shameful. She propped herself up using the tree trunk and looked at the man. She was slightly surprised. The man had a tall and sturdy stature and an ordinary appearance, but she had a noble air to him. She didn't look like someone from the countryside.

"What's wrong?"

The man had a doubtful expression on his face as she stared at him.

Chu Pann'er retracted her gaze: "I can be considered to have been saved by my benefactor, what is his name?"

"Lady has never been poisoned, so it can't be said that she is my benefactor." The man paused, "Dong Yizhen."

There was only one family in the village with the surname Dong. They were an old couple and a son. It was rumored that this son of the Dong Clan was like a wild beast, frightening the villagers with his presence.

Today, when Chu Pann'er came into contact with him, she realised that this was not the case, this person was warm-hearted.

Dong Yizhen looked at the sky and pursed his lips: "It's dark now. Wild beasts and snakes are lurking in the mountains.

Chu Pann'er was really afraid of encountering Snake again, so she didn't be courteous.

Dong Yizhen saw her to her house and quickly left. Chu Pann'er watched his hastily leaving figure, and her impression of him became even better. He was afraid that someone would see him and ruin her reputation.

Chu Pann'er walked into the courtyard. When the Madam Wang saw her, he immediately went up and sized her up: "Aiyo, my young mistress, where did you go? If you don't come back, my whole family will be looking for you."

It was already too late, so Chu Pann'er was a little embarrassed, "We got lost in the mountains," he changed the topic, "Have the fish and willow been pickled?"

Speaking of which, the Madam Wang didn't bring up the matter of her late return: "Everything is done, we can leave tomorrow. Let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow. "

There was no light in the house, and the house was dark. Chu Pann'er blacked out as she climbed onto the bed, and accidentally touched Chu Ying'er who was beside him, and carefully retracted her hand.

In her previous life, she had monopolized a palace by herself and slept on a soft and comfortable bed. But now they had to squeeze together on a hard wooden bed with Chu Ying'er, and it only took a while for them to get used to it. Plus, she had to do business in the town tomorrow. She would have money soon and would be able to return to the capital soon. Thinking of this, she felt a little excited, and she could not sleep at all.

The next morning, Madam Wang saw her wearing a pair of black circles and was extremely surprised: "Pann'er, you didn't sleep well last night? Aren't you too tired? In the future, just leave the fishing to sister-in-law. You're still young after all. "

Chu Pann'er was unable to say anything about returning to the capital, so she could only follow Madam Wang's instructions, allowing her to think that she had not rested yet.

Along the way, Madam Wang rushed to carry all the tools on her back. Although she was not her sister-in-law, she was the oldest and had to shoulder all the responsibilities. But because there were too many things, she had to delay the distance too much before she could share them with Chu Xi.

There were a lot of people in the morning market, so the three of them found an empty area to set up a shelf. They picked up a small pot and used it to heat it up with firewood.

The Madam Wang was also not idle as she shouted, "Come and take a look at this golden cake that has just come out of the pot. I guarantee you that you will want to eat it again this time. For the sake of winning a prize, we also need to have a bite to eat.

The Golden Soup was something that Chu Pann'er had thought of. The fish willow that had just been fried was shining with a golden luster, it fit this name perfectly. Moreover, if one could tell that it was a fish at a glance, they would lose their curiosity.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, you can just blow up a small part of this fish willow first. You don't need to blow it up completely. If the sales aren't good, then that would be a waste of this pot of oil!" Chu Pann'er said.

Madam Wang smiled and said, "You're the one who thought it through."

Although this Golden Sesame dish had been developed to have a fishy taste, when it was placed in the oil pot, the fishy smell of the boss still drifted out. The people here had always despised fish because they were too fishy and rarely ate fish.

When he returned home at night, he did not sell any of the Golden Soup, which left everyone depressed. It was as if Madam Chiang had already guessed the result, she did not make any criticisms and just pretended that nothing had happened.

After finishing her meal, Chu Pann'er placed the marinated fish into the bottom of the vat to refrigerate. She was prepared to continue tomorrow, but Madam Wang was unhappy, and said: "Let's not mess around, we went blind with these fish for nothing. Grandma may not say anything today, but she will definitely not be happy!"

"It's only been a day, why would he give up? I'll try again for another day tomorrow! " Chu Pann'er said.

Madam Wang bit her lips, as though she was in a difficult situation.

Chu Pann'er said: "So many fish, if we don't think of ways to sell them, we will have to eat them for a long time, right?"

The Madam Wang then said: "Tomorrow, try again for a day."

The next day, before the sky brightened, everyone rushed to the town with their things. They first fried up a small portion of the fish and willow leaves.

Chu Pann'er seriously thought about why the fish willow from yesterday could not be sold, and shouted out, "A Golden Fish Willow that definitely does not smell of fish, there is a fishy smell that is not worth money!"

Finally, a mother and son pair were attracted … Eh, this mother and son pair came towards Chu Pann'er's last sentence, "I don't need money!"

"What are you fried up for? Can the oil taste good?" A woman came over with a child in her arms. When she saw the fish willow just coming out of the wok, her nose was sealed.

Looking at the oil and eating the fragrance, Big Sis, your child is already drooling. Do you think it will taste good? At first, Chu Xi was a little embarrassed, but since Madam Wang could shout, why couldn't he? This exit was pretty smooth.

Chu Pann'er glanced at Chu Xi, and his performance was not bad.

The woman glanced at the child in her arms. She thought that if the child tasted bad, he would give her money back. Without hesitation, she said, "Give me one tael."

Chu Pann'er weighed one or two servings of chilies and handed them over to the woman. The woman gave the child a small piece. The child finished it in two bites. When she saw that his mother still had it in her hand, she reached out with his small hand to grab it. "Mother, eat, eat …"

The Madam Wang took the opportunity to shout: "Everyone has seen that the Golden Sesame Seed is soft and tasty, it would be a loss if everyone did not buy it now. What else do you want to buy with five pieces of silver? "

"Give me two taels. Can't you put some more of that chili powder in?"

"I want one tael that's not spicy."

"I want two taels …"

After firing the first shot, the selling went much smoother.

Madam Wang counted the copper coins and revealed a smile of satisfaction and surprise: "Pann'er, we made a full one tael of silver this morning!"

They didn't even dare to think about 1 tael of silver.

"Hmm," Yu Liu's good sales were within Chu Pann'er's expectations. If there was starch, the fish would be even more tender on the outside, but it would also have an even better taste. "Let's go buy some rice noodles."

Madam Wang counted the money and bought the rice noodles and starch. She still had 800 gold left. Passing the seed shop, Chu Pann'er stopped at the door and said, "Sister-in-law, it's the planting season right now. The land at home has not been planted yet, let's buy some seeds and go back, I want to plant something else."
