A little girl was playing near the lake when suddenly something caught her attention, it was a little rabbit. The little girl ran after the rabbit deep into the forest without knowing that she had gone so deep that she could not return. When the light went out, everything around her was dark, the little girl sat down in fear, hugging her knees to protect herself but could not make her less afraid.

Quartz accidentally received a message from the gods, she did not expect the blessing of the gods to appear at this moment. Thanks to the blessing of the gods, Quartz was able to plant and make plants grow very quickly.
Go into the warehouse, search for the seed bags then run out to the garden, give them to the rabbits, they understand and quickly sow the seeds into the ground. After sowing the seeds, Quartz took the watering can and watered the soil. The water had seeped into the soil, then she raised her hand and used [Growth] magic on the soil, and immediately, it began to grow very quickly from the soil.
"There they are."- Quartz
She approached the trees, gently holding a branch.
"We can make food from the medicine. Be careful when harvesting these plants, they are not simple."- Quartz turned to the rabbits and said.
The rabbits nodded and quickly picked up the necessary things and brought them into the house.
The dish that can synthesize herbal medicines is only soup, which is the easiest to make, but it is also the dish that many people make the most mistakes.
The important ingredients here are herbs that can easily lose their effects if done incorrectly, such as mint and oregano, which should not be boiled for long. Bamboo leaves, honeysuckle and burdock seeds should be boiled sparingly. But licorice, forsythia, platycodon and black beans can be boiled freely.
First is the way to prepare herbs, platycodon and licorice must be cleaned and soaked in water before boiling because they need to be boiled for a long time, sometimes boiling until the next morning is not certain. But that is for a normal stove, not her improved stove.
In the past few days, Quartz has saved up quite a lot so she has been able to upgrade the kitchen utensils in the house, the normal stove has been upgraded to a stove that cooks faster and automatically turns off the stove if boiled for too long. The magical world is truly convenient, Quartz does not have to rush at work.
Flowers and leaves such as mint, oregano, bamboo leaves and honeysuckle are added in the middle of the process of boiling medicine. Forsythia, burdock seeds and black beans are the fruits and seeds that must be added last after boiling.
Turning to the girl lying down, she saw her face grimacing in pain, it seemed like the toxin was eating into her blood, causing her to react like that
"This is enough"- Quartz
More importantly, how could she feed the medicine to the girl while she was still unconscious, her mouth was tightly closed and couldn't be pried open.
"What should I do now, the toxin is spreading so much"- Quartz
Then she realized, there was another way to feed the medicine into her mouth.
Quartz immediately took a sip of the medicine into her mouth, then used her own mouth to transfer the medicine to the girl's mouth. Although she knew it was rude to do so, what other way was there to save a life?
So Quartz did it over and over again until the medicine was gone, then she used a tissue to wipe the remaining medicine from the girl's mouth.
Hopefully the herbal medicine would be effective on the girl.
And sure enough, it gradually started to work, the wounds on her body began to heal. Quartz breathed a sigh of relief because she had saved someone's life.
"Big sister, what's wrong?"- Aster
The voice of her younger sister rang out upstairs, then footsteps running down the stairs. Her eyes were filled with surprise when she saw a stranger in the house.
"Who is this? She looks so beautiful?"- Aster
"I don't know, this girl suddenly appeared with wounds all over her body. I didn't think much and immediately saved her"- Quartz
"And you didn't suspect anything and just brought her in?"- Aster
"Uh...yeah...that's right"- Quartz laughed awkwardly
Aster sighed helplessly at her big sister, but the person who had saved her couldn't just leave the injured person outside.
Before the two of them went upstairs, a few rabbits stood by to keep watch in case this person woke up. When they reached the bedroom, Quartz turned to her little sister.
"Alright, do you have something to tell me?"- Quartz
Aster startled and looked up at her sister, her sister's eyes were staring at her. Her hand suddenly clenched the magic mirror in her hand, the tension and excitement made Aster a little restless.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, I'm not being strict with you. After all, as your older sister, I not only have to take care of you but also support your opinions. You just need to say it, there's no need to hide anything"- Quartz
The little sister was silent for a long time before she began to speak.
"Do you remember a few days ago when a group of people came here, a man gave an invitation to a school, right?"- Aster
"You mean that strange group of people? Have you registered for that place?"- Quartz
A slight nod from Aster, then a pair of hands were placed on her shoulders. Immediately after that was a strong shake.
"So what's the result? Did you get in?"- Quartz
Being shaken so suddenly, Aster gently pushed her sister away.
"Calm down, I just received a message from the academy today. They said that the students will take the entrance exam in three days, those who received the letter from the academy will go there with their parents to take the exam"- Aster
Quartz nodded slightly as if she was absorbing what her sister said.
"As for the tuition, you have to pay at least 100,000 gold taels for the entire year"- Aster
Hearing that, Quartz was silent for a long time.
This silence made Aster feel a little guilty, this amount of gold was indeed too large to pay for the tuition. Moreover, her sister had just opened her shop not long ago, so this amount of money was impossible.
"Is that all? 100,000 taels of gold? I thought it was something, but it's only that much money"- Quartz
"What? But it's 100,000 taels of gold!"- Aster was surprised
"Don't worry about the money, just go prepare your things"- Quartz
"But..."- Aster was about to say something
"No buts, go take a shower and go to sleep"- Quartz
After saying that, Quartz gently pushed her little sister into the bathroom and closed the door.
Aster was still a bit skeptical about Quartz's words, because where did her older sister get such a large amount of money?
"Where did you get such a large amount of money?"- Aster muttered
Although she didn't say it clearly, Quartz always had a way to solve the problem. So she immediately went to prepare the ingredients to make the dish.
"The dough and filling have been prepared since this afternoon. Let's start making it now" - Quartz
Take the dough that has risen from the fridge and knead it lightly to deflate the air in the dough. Quartz divides it into small balls of dough and then rolls them out to put the filling inside. The simplest filling is just ground pork, green onions and simple spices.
Then carefully wrap all the filling so that it doesn't fall out, then place them carefully on baking trays. Then brush the cakes with a layer of honey mixed with water, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake.
While waiting for the baking to be finished, she went to make another dish.
This time, instead of minced pork and green onions, she used pork and shiitake mushrooms, adding a quail egg inside the buns, carefully wrapping the filling. Then, with the remaining dough, she made buns without any sweet or salty filling.
Then she carefully arranged them in bamboo steamers.
Fenech stepped forward and held out his hands to help her carry the steamers outside. The rabbit arranged the steamers in a large pot with water inside and skillfully turned on the stove.
In just a moment, the steamers began to steam, the steam would make the buns inside cook evenly and become soft and spongy. At the same time, the sesame buns were baked, the aroma of the baked buns spread throughout the first floor.

In the dream, the little girl was sobbing in fear when she suddenly smelled something very delicious.
The scent was very warm, like the scent of the food her mother often cooked for her. The girl stood up and followed the scent when a rabbit appeared, the rabbit hopped in the same direction as the scent. In a moment, the little girl saw light in front of her eyes.
_______
The girl's eyes moved slightly, she looked around and saw a strange room she had never seen before, the amenities in this place were very strange.
The girl noticed that the poison on her body had been completely detoxified.
"This is so strange, the poison of that monster is very dangerous. I thought I was dead? Who helped me in the end?"
The noise outside caught the girl's attention, she cautiously hid behind the wall and looked outside to see two people, a girl and a two-legged rabbit selling something to the night monsters.
The girl was surprised that the monsters were obediently lining up to wait their turn to buy food.
What the hell was going on here? Who were these two people?
