Buying Some Bean Paste

Today, Chen Muxue planned to discuss the relevant matters with the farmer who sold bean paste.

She had gone to take a look before. The other party had made it very carefully, and the hygiene was not bad. Chen Muxue felt that the bean paste she made could not be better than theirs, so she thought that she might as well buy it directly from them.

This time, Chen Muxue brought along Dafu. Dafu was simple and honest. He was also stronger and had awakened the earth spiritual root. Also, she wanted to bring him to see the world and experience the land in the village.

In fact, she didn't quite understand what it meant to feel the earth. She didn't know how to cultivate, so she just peacefully became their sect master and didn't have any intention of letting them acknowledge her as their master.

The sect master of a sect and the master of some people were two very different concepts. In ancient times, a teacher for a day was a father for life. In this world where immortal cultivation was possible, this concept was even more important.

However, for the big sects in the immortal cultivation world, only core disciples could be regarded as true disciples, followed by inner disciples. Those outer disciples could be said to be hanging on the name of the sect.

However, in the case of the Heavenly Cauldron Sect, if Chen Muxue accepted anyone as a disciple now, they would be regarded as official disciples.

Seeing that Chen Muxue had brought along Dafu and Dagui was not willing to follow, he insisted on following her. Chen Muxue did not reject him.

This child, because his spiritual root had not awakened for a long time, had become a little sensitive. He was even more competitive with Dafu, who had been brought back by the original owner at the same time, and was unwilling to be left behind.

When they arrived at the village, Chen Muxue went straight to the farmer's house.

Summer was the busy season of farming. It was necessary to pay attention to whether the land would be dry, and to dredge the ditches to avoid sudden rainstorms. It was also the season of wheat maturity. The families who had planted wheat were busy harvesting, and they also had to take out the stored grains and other things to dry under the sun while the sun was still good.

At this time, the daughter-in-law was drying the bedding. She heard someone knocking on the door and quickly went to open it. 

"Oh, it's you!" Cui Hua saw Chen Muxue and wiped her hands uneasily. "Please come in." 

"You don't have to be so polite. I came today to see if you have any extra bean paste. If you do, I want to buy some more..."

But before Chen Muxue could finish her sentence, another fair and chubby woman came out of the house. "Aiyo, an important guest!"

"Sister-in-law." When Cui Hua saw this woman, she felt that her whole body had shrunk. 

Chen Muxue furrowed her brows slightly. She did not like the woman's tone. "And you are?"

"Oh, I'm the daughter-in-law of this family. Are you here to buy bean paste?" The woman's eyes rolled. "There's more. You can just talk to me. She's a petty person and can't speak!" 

The woman's name was Meili. She knew that Chen Muxue had come to buy a jar of bean paste sauce. That thing was made by Cui Hua herself. It was not bad to use it to cook at home, but she did not think that there would be a stupid rich person who would come to buy that thing. A jar of it made dozens of copper coins!

It was a pity that she had missed it when she was chatting with someone at the village entrance. This sister-in-law was also a fool. She actually gave all the money to her mother-in-law!

Cui Hua seemed even more uncomfortable in front of her, and she didn't know where to put her calloused hands.

At this time, Dafu, who was behind Chen Muxue, suddenly took a few steps forward, scaring Cui Hua into retreating.

"You're an outsider, so it's not good for you to step forward." Chen Muxue wanted to pull him back, but she didn't expect Dafu to be so strong that he didn't move. 

"Aunty! Aunty! Aunty!" Dafu suddenly cried out.

Cui Hua was stunned. She looked at Dafu carefully and was somewhat uncertain. "Dafu?"

"I can't even recognize you now!" The two of them actually spoke in unison.
