"I'm planning to go to the seaside and extract salt myself."
Her voice was soft, but every word was clear.
"If you're free, you can come with me. If you're busy, just stay home and don't wander off. I don't need you to trade for it on my behalf. I want real salt, not some rock begged from others."
As soon as Qiu Ye heard this, he immediately spoke up.
"Of course I'm going with you! Wherever you are is home."
Afraid that wasn't enough, he added,
"Besides, how could I let you go somewhere so far away all by yourself?"
"I never knew you understood this stuff, Little Yuan."
He blinked, his tone a mix of surprise and admiration.
"You even know how to make salt? I thought you only knew how to grow a few vegetables and roast some meat."
"There's a lot I know. You'll find out in time."
Chu Jing found his slightly shy expression quite amusing.
She deliberately drew out her words.
"Alright then."
She cleared her throat, pretending she hadn't seen a thing.
