Hey, when it comes to this drying kiln, it is truly the apple of our Green Ox Valley's eye! Yesterday, just as Old Qian's Rhodiola was loaded into the kiln, the Bead-Chain went wild like it had been injected with adrenaline, flashing golden characters that read "5x Speed" right on top of the kiln. It scared the cart-mule so badly that it started kicking: "How come this bead is even faster than me pulling the millstone?"
"Old Qian! Why did you write 'Harvester' as 'Old Qian-Qian'?" Xiaoxiu laughed aloud as she held up the ledger, and the Bead-Chain immediately bounced a "Wrong" character onto Old Qian's forehead, making it look like a sticking plaster. Old Qian scratched his head and laughed: "I was just thinking of giving the Bead-Chain a little nickname!" Upon hearing this, the Bead-Chain directly drew a little copper coin on the ledger, with the caption beside it: "Beads are precious, coins are hard to buy!"
Amidst the commotion, the drying kiln suddenly let out a "clack" sound, startling the herbalists into crowding around the kiln entrance. They saw the Bead-Chain acting like a firefighter, leaping into a crack in the kiln with a "whoosh." Soon, a clanging sound of hammering echoed from within, followed by a crisp chime from the Bead-Chain: "The kiln bricks are tired, the beads will give them a massage!" Looking closely at that kiln crack, hey, it actually had an extra row of bead-shaped patches, looking just like a layer of patterned ceramic tiles.
