The mushrooms in this season were much better than when she and Yang Xiu Er came by. Many of them were just growing along the road, and those were the ones that could be eaten. Ning Meng Yao plucked one by one and put it on her back basket.

Until the back basket could not be filled anymore, Ning Meng Yao then prepared to go back. On the road down the mountain, Ning Meng Yao once again met Qiao Tian Chang who, like before, had some preys in his hand.

Qiao Tian Chang had seen Ning Meng Yao way earlier but he did not go over. Now, seeing her walking towards him, he nodded at her direction and silently followed behind to go down the mountain.

The person behind following without making any sound made Ning Meng Yao felt strange and tilted her head to see the person behind: “When going back, can you sell me some of your hunts?” She suddenly thought of the beef sauce she made before and wondered if it was replaced with rabbit meat or pheasant meat, would the taste be even better?

“Okay.”

After saying simple sentences, both of them did not continue to speak and Qiao Tian Chang kept on observing Ning Meng Yao.

This was probably the most beautiful girl he had met, not because of her physical beauty but because of the air she carried. It was the most outstanding he had ever seen.

The two of them quietly walked down the mountain and came to Ning Meng Yao’s exquisite courtyard.

“I want two wild rabbits, two pheasant. How much are they?” Ning Meng Yao put her back basket to the side and raised her head to look at Qiao Tian Chang. That kind of slightly tilting her head made Qiao Tian Chang a bit dazzled.

His eyes slightly flashed and lowered his head to say: “Two hundred wen.”

“Wait a moment.” She turned to enter her room and when she came out, her hand carried not little copper coins and hand it over to Qiao Tian Chang.

Qiao Tian Chang received the copper coins and gave his fattest and biggest preys to Ning Meng Yao.

Seeing the four fat and big preys on the ground, Ning Meng Yao was a bit helpless. These were worth more than two hundred wen, she really got it good.

Turning her head and seeing Qiao Tian Chang who was leaving, Ning Meng Yao’s heart had some misgivings. She should give him some of the sauce she would be making.

Thinking like that, Ning Meng Yao no longer fussed over this matter and instead began seriously cleaning the preys, although she left out one pheasant.

After cleaning up the rest, Ning Meng Yao took the jar she had just bought and thoroughly cleaned it then started making rabbit meat sauce.

After being busy for a whole day, she finally made the two rabbits and one pheasant into meat sauce.

Done with this, Ning Meng Yao tasted it and thought it was not bad. Although it could not compare to cow meat sauce, but it possess some other flavor.

Putting the meat sauce carefully, Ning Meng Yao took out two small jars and divided the sauce into them. She was planning to send some to Yang Le Le’s house and Qiao Tian Chang.

Yang Le Le took the meat sauce Ning Meng Yao sent her with some embarrassment: “Yao Yao, this.....”

“It’s for you to take.” Ning Meng Yao put the jar at a side and stared dissatisfiedly at Yang Le Le. That kind of posture let Yang Le Le could not help but to laugh.

“Right, Yao Yao, Do you want to go to the town? My embroidery is done.”

“Fine, let’s go together. Mine is also done.”

Yang Le Le immediately nodded her head, planning to wait until the children were on break before sending her embroidery and then bought some embroidery threads back home.

For the past few days, Ning Meng Yao did not see Qiao Tian Chang going down the mountain and gradually forgot about his meat sauce.

Today, the children were on a break. Ning Meng Yao brought Yang Le Le to Luo Yun Pavilion. When they entered, Aunt Luo was introducing products like before.

Seeing the two girls entering, she immediately greeted them: “Both of you has come, ah?” The piece of embroidery screen Ning Meng Yao sent, she did not sell it yet there were many people wanting to buy and the prices they offer was not low, but she did not sell it out, leaving it had its own advantages.

“Aunt Luo.” Ning Meng Yao and Yang Le Le greeted. Ning Meng Yao put her own embroidery screen out and Aunt Luo’s eyes lit up with a glance. This one was not similar to the previous one but it was equally amazing.

“Fixed price is one hundred and fifty liang.” Because of the result of last time’s embroidery, Aunt Luo immediately gave Ning Meng Yao more of fifty liang price. This let Yang Le Le widened both her eyes. One hundred liang and still rising?

“Don’t look anymore. Let Aunt Luo see yours and give you some pointers.” Seeing Yang Le Le’s wide eyes staring at her and Aunt Luo, Ning Meng Yao teasingly spoke out.

Yang Le Le felt kind of embarrassed and rubbed her nose then laughed hehe. She put her pillow cover and other works out.

Aunt Luo checked them one by one and felt that they were all very good then gave Yang Le Le a certain evaluation: “Very good.”

At the end, Yang Le Le’s six pieces of bridal veil altogether sold for thirty liang, letting Yang Le Le thoroughly made a dumb expression. It was that much.

“Le Le, you must learn diligently from Meng Yao, ah, so you can make high class embroidery sooner.” Aunt Luo saw Yang Le Le’s stupid look and could not help but laugh.
