"Miss Tang, it's time for dinner. I brought back a wild ginseng tree from the mountains this time. Why don't I make some ginseng soup for you to drink."
Ji Mo came out of the shower and greeted Tang Xueyi warmly.
The Ginseng King was almost scared to death because Mr. Ji actually wanted to eat himself!
What to do now?
It’s all my fault for questioning Mr. Ji in the first place, obviously this is going to be settled by Qiu Hou!
The Ginseng King was extremely regretful and grew ten leaves and ten flowers. He originally thought that a great life was about to begin, but he didn't expect that it would end before he had time to start!
Tianpeng laughed gleefully at the misfortune. The ginseng king had just been showing off, but now he must be punished.
"How about ginseng chicken soup?"
Ji Mo continued to ask Tang Xueyi.
Now, it was Tianpeng's turn to be scared out of his mind, fearing that if Tang Xueyi nodded, he would become the meal on his plate.
"Miss Tang, actually, steamed carp with ginseng is also good." Ji Mo added.
Suddenly, the pond full of arowanas became restless.
Fortunately, Tang Xueyi said she wasn't hungry, so Ji Mo didn't have to worry about it, and this terrifying conversation was over.
"Sure enough, under the hands of an expert, you must not be shy and walk on thin ice at all times."
The Ginseng King completely lost his temper and was only thinking about how to please Ji Mo so as not to be stewed that day.
Ji Mo took out the bodhi tree saplings, planted them by the pond, and took some well water for irrigation.
After a while, the sapling, which was originally only an inch in size, grew to over three feet tall.
"This seems to be the legendary Bodhi tree!"
Tang Xueyi sucked in the air-conditioning and forced herself to calm down.
After observing it carefully again, I felt the aura unique to my innate spiritual roots, and I was immediately sure that my guess was correct.
She never expected that Ji Mo would go into the mountains and actually find this legendary thing and plant it in his own yard.
"It looks like it, but it doesn't quite look like it. Rumor has it that the Bodhi tree is a sacred tree. This Bodhi tree lacks the sacred aura and has more of an evil aura."
Huineng is proficient in Buddhism and can feel the unusualness of the bodhi tree in front of him.
That the divine and the evil were actually combined was beyond his comprehension.
Just like water and fire, two opposite energies repel each other and are theoretically impossible to fuse, but now they are mixed together harmoniously, which is really incredible.
"The legendary bodhi tree has disintegrated. This is a bodhi tree that has died long ago and was revived by Mr. Ji."
The Ginseng King explained lightly.
These words immediately made everyone feel shocked.
The dead seeds sprout again, which involves the mystery of life and death. Doesn't it mean that Ji Mo has the power to bring the dead back to life?
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you just plant a seed and make a fuss?"
Ji Mo said calmly, not understanding why these people were staring at him with admiration.
He didn't bother to pay attention to these fools who often made a fuss, and began to check the construction status of the yard.
Not to mention, after leaving this period, Huineng and Fan Jingxing really didn't dare to neglect a day, investing all their energy and all their wealth in expanding the yard.
Now, more than half of the project has been completed.
The innate Bagua array is beginning to take shape. Of course, there are many problems with some details, and Ji Mo has to do it himself.
But overall, Ji Mo is very satisfied.
Two people of similar age actually did so much work, and they did not eat so much rice in vain.
Poor Xuan Ao was the one who put in the most effort. He was responsible for almost all the earth and stone projects, but he seemed to be ignored by Ji Mo.
"I can't exploit working people. Well, I have to pay them some wages no matter what."
Ji Mo felt so sorry that he went back to the house and rummaged through the cabinets and found a few pieces of broken silver.
Seeing that there were only a few grains of corn-sized silver left, Ji Mo felt sad.
If he hadn't cultivated his own food and been self-sufficient, he might not have been able to survive in this world.
Life is really difficult for ordinary people.
He divided the silver into two parts, wrapped them in discarded paper, and gave them to Huineng and Fan Jingxing.
"You two, you have worked hard during this period, it is not interesting at all."
Ji Mo's face was full of embarrassment. He had done so much work, but he only had so little interest in it. It was really not interesting enough.
But my family is really poor, so I can only mean it!
"Mr. Ji, we don't want wages. You have already paid for our food and drink, so we can still ask you to pay for it."
Fan Jingxing hurriedly excused himself, saying he didn't want to ask for anything.
"Brother Fan, Mr. Ji pays us wages, which is recognition of our work."
Huineng winked at Fan Jingxing. This old fool didn't know if this was a gift from a master, but he still didn't accept it.
He couldn't care about that much, so he respectfully accepted the silver coins handed over by Ji Mo.
Fan Jingxing was nudged and immediately changed his mind: "Mr. Ji's gift is disrespectful. Thank you for your salary, sir. I will work harder in the future."
"You guys are very nice."
Ji Mo was very satisfied. These two people used to be ruffians, but now they have corrected their evil ways and finally know how to get rewards for their hard work. It is really gratifying.
Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. Ji Mo felt that he was doing a great job and successfully saved two bad people who had gone astray.
Xuan Ao was helpless, wondering why the master didn't show any respect to him.
The dirtiest and most tiring work is all done by yourself. Why do you not get a share when the labor is divided?
This old mysterious turtle felt very wronged.
Huineng and Fan Jingxing couldn't wait to open the paper package, wanting to see what kind of gift Ji Mo had given them.
But I found that there were just a few small pieces of silver inside, nothing special.
"Hey, Mr. Ji has refined his heart in the world of mortals. It seems that he has completely regarded himself as a mortal."
Hui Neng found that he had overthought it, and it turned out that wages were really just wages, not at all the fate he had guessed.
Fan Jingxing was different. He didn't know what he saw. His pupils slowly dilated, his face was full of astonishment, and his face showed a look of ecstasy. He almost couldn't help but look up to the sky and scream.
"It's too valuable, it's really too valuable. Thank you Mr. Ji for the gift!"
Fan Jingxing cupped his fists and thanked Ji Mo. He originally wanted to kneel down, but considering Ji Mo's temperament, he could only use the most ordinary method.
"What's going on? Isn't it just a few coins? Why are you so happy?"
Hui Neng touched his bald head, his expression was like that of Monk Zhang Er who was confused.
Tang Xueyi came over curiously, her beauty turned pale, and then she couldn't help running to Ji Mo's side, pleading with a coy face: "How about I work for you too."
Seeing the reward given by Ji Mo, Tang Xueyi was also moved.
"What can you, a girl, do? It's all heavy farm work here."
Ji Mo didn't understand why a delicate beauty with no fingers in the sun was just joining in the fun.
"I……"
Tang Xueyi bit her lips and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly, "I can warm the bed."
