Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

On the other side, after Zeng Zhengen returned to the village, Zhang Jiahu rushed over like a firecracker.

"Mom, you're finally back. We were all worried sick."

Zeng Zhengen rubbed his head and said with a smile: "What are you worried about? Mom is so powerful, are you still afraid that she will suffer a loss?"

While the mother and son were talking, the eldest and second son also came over.

"Mom..." the two brothers shouted in unison.

"Yeah." Zeng Zhengen nodded lightly, then followed the three little guys into the main room.

As soon as Zeng Zhengen entered, the silver fox in the cage started barking.

Zhao Jiahu looked at the silver fox in the cage with excitement on his face, and then said.

"Mom, did you catch this fox in the mountains? Can you make me a pair of gloves with this fox skin?"

The silver fox seemed to understand what Zhang Jiahu said. It curled up in the cage and dared not make any sound.

Zeng Zhengen looked at the silver fox that was so frightened that it dared not move, chuckled, and then said to Zhang Jiahu.

"This silver fox lady plans to keep it, what do you think?"

When Zhang Jiahu heard that Zeng Zhengen actually wanted to keep the silver fox, he immediately lowered his head in disappointment.

Zeng Zhengen rubbed his head and said, "Next time I go to the mountain and catch a fox, I'll make you a pair of fox fur gloves. How about that?"

When Zhang Jiahu heard Zeng Zhengen say that he would catch a fox for him next time, his face immediately regained its lively look.

"Mom, take me with you next time you go up the mountain. I want to catch a fox with my own hands. Is that okay?" Zhang Jiahu looked at Zeng Zhengen eagerly and asked.

"Okay, but before you go up the mountain, you must learn martial arts from your mother. Only when you have the ability to protect yourself, will I take you up the mountain." Zeng Zhengen reminded.

Zhang Jiahu nodded heavily and assured: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to learn martial arts."

After Zeng Zhengen talked to the kids for a while, he took out the cakes he bought in the city.

"These are the cakes that mom bought for you. Take some to next door to give to Cheng'er and Sirui, and keep the rest for yourselves."

After Zeng Zhengen gave the three kids some instructions, he went to the kitchen and started working.

After dinner, Zeng's mother came over and chatted with Zeng Zhengen for a while until it gradually darkened, and then she went back.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. After Zeng Zhengen finished the work at hand, he began to prepare for the cosmetics.

Zeng Zhengen began to prepare the materials according to the records in the ancient cosmetics secret book.

Because it is an ancient production method, unlike later generations, there are not so many black technologies, and the materials required are all genuine Chinese medicinal materials.

In order to prepare these medicinal materials, Zeng Zhengen made a special trip to Lantau Island.

Zeng Zhengen had just arrived on Lantau Island when he met the monkey. As usual, Zeng Zhengen bought a bunch of bananas from the system mall and handed them to the monkey.

Afterwards, he told the monkey to go play by itself, but this time the monkey did not take the banana and leave like last time. Instead, it kept pulling Zeng Zhengen's sleeve and would not let Zeng Zhengen leave.

Zeng Zhengen looked at the monkey and said softly, "Why don't you go play with the monkey by yourself first? I have to go collect some herbs today, so I really don't have time to play with you."

However, after Zeng Zhengen said this, the monkey still did not let go of Zeng Zhengen. Instead, it kept chirping something at her.

Zeng Zhengen thought back to the first time she met this monkey. The monkey was chirping like that, as if it had something to say to her.

Suddenly Zeng Zhengen had an idea and asked the monkey.

"Have you found something good again? Do you want to take me over to see it?"

The monkey kept nodding, then pointed in a direction to the west and chattered non-stop.

"Okay, then take me over there to have a look." Zeng Zhengen said to the monkey.

When the monkey heard Zeng Zhengen's words, it immediately walked in front excitedly, jumping as it walked, just like a child who had received candy.

Zeng Zhengen followed the monkey through mountains and hills, and after walking for nearly an hour, they finally reached their destination.

The monkey pointed to a dense forest not far ahead and chattered non-stop.

Zeng Zhengen looked at it for a long time, then asked tentatively.

"You mean there's something good there?"

The monkey seemed to understand and nodded continuously, then pulled Zeng Zhengen and continued walking towards the dense forest.

As soon as Zeng Zhengen entered the dense forest, he saw that the forest was shrouded in a white mist. Zeng Zhengen carefully examined the mist around him. After confirming that the mist was not poisonous, Zeng Zhengen continued to walk inside with the monkey.

Not long after she left, Zeng Zhengen actually saw a Ganoderma lucidum in the box. Zeng Zhengen felt that something was different. Could it be that the good thing that the monkey brought her to find was actually the Ganoderma lucidum?

However, although Zeng Zhengen was very surprised to see the Ganoderma lucidum, he did not immediately go over to pick it.

After all, they were in the mountains, so Zeng Zhengen thought it was better to be cautious. Although the weather was getting colder and the reptiles had already gone into hibernation, there was a chance that some would slip through the net.

The monkey saw that Zeng Zhengen was standing there motionless, and couldn't help but feel anxious?

Doesn’t this little cutie want to find those sweet smelling weeds?

There is such a fragrant weed there now, why doesn’t the little cutie go over and pick it?

The little monkey couldn't figure it out, but since the little cutie didn't do it, it would go and help the little cutie pick the fruits.

So just when Zeng Zhengen was about to break a stick, the monkey jumped directly into the jungle and picked up the Ganoderma lucidum.

Zeng Zhengen didn't even have time to stop it before the monkey had picked the Ganoderma lucidum. Then the monkey came over with the Ganoderma lucidum in its hands, as if it was presenting a treasure.

Zeng Zhengen looked at the little head tilted up with an expression as if waiting for praise, and swallowed back the words of reproach.

Zeng Zhengen took the Ganoderma lucidum from the monkey and praised: "Not bad, you are very good."

Afterwards, Zeng Zheng bought a bunch of bananas from the system mall and gave them to the monkey.

The monkey happily took the banana given by Zeng Zhengen, then pointed forward and squeaked non-stop.

Zeng Zhengen immediately understood what it meant, and then continued to walk inside with the monkey.

But when Zeng Zhengen walked in and saw the situation inside, he was immediately shocked.

This turned out to be a wild medicinal field, where all kinds of medicinal herbs grew, and many of them were precious.

Zeng Zhengen even saw some wild ginseng in it. Although it was not very old, its medicinal effect was still great.
