Zi Yao helped to prepare the ingredients.

Ruyuan also quickly arranged for people to help, and said to Qiu Yinong: "Cousin, just see what you need to do and tell them to do it."

"That's fine." Qiu Yinong told the cook and others about her arrangements.

She went to the side to prepare the things needed for the pastries. Ruyuan looked at her skillful appearance and stood by and watched.

While helping, Qiu Qinghe smiled at Ruyuan and said, "Sister Ruyuan, do you find it strange? In fact, Taohua Village is what it is today thanks to Yinong."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Ruyuan became even more curious.

Qiu Qinghe glanced at Qiu Yinong and asked, "Can you tell me?"

"Just say what you want to say." Qiu Yinong said indifferently.

Qiu Qinghe then said, "This has to start from the time when the daughter of the richest man in Qingquan made a mistake... That's all I know."

Ge Qingqing and Ruyuan looked at the two of them in shock. They seemed to have a good relationship, but they didn't expect that they had once been on opposite sides.

"Sister Qinghe, since my cousin has allowed you to enter the Qiu family tree, it means that you are also a kind and good person."

"I never thought you two had been through so much."

"Cousin, I admire you even more now. No wonder you are so popular with others. I am lucky to know you."

Qiu Yinong looked up at them and said with a smile: "This is all fate between us. I am also very happy to meet you."

“Friends should get along with each other without any purpose or calculation. When getting along, sincerity is the only way to last.”

Ruyuan and the others nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"This dim sum is called Qiansilu. It has shrimp inside and you can eat it after frying it in oil."

Only then did Ge Qingqing and the others realize that while they were listening to Qiu Qinghe talking, Qiu Yinong had already prepared two servings of snacks.

The shrimp tail is left at the end of the thousand threads. After the oil temperature rises, Qiu Yinong puts the thousand threads into the pot one by one.

The aroma comes out quickly, and when the crust is fried until golden brown, the snack is ready.

"Try it!" Qiu Yinong placed a plate in front of them.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"It smells so good, I can't bear to eat it." Ge Qingqing picked one up and looked at it carefully.

Qiu Qinghe didn't have such worries and just put it in her mouth and took a bite.

The crisp sound of a click makes people's mouths water. When you take a bite, the shrimp and shrimp meat are clearly layered, and they are still steaming when you bite them open.

"It's delicious, really delicious." Qiu Qinghe kept nodding and praising.

When Ge Qingqing heard this, she couldn't help herself and took a bite. The delicious taste made her squint her eyes happily.

"It's really delicious. Oh my god, Yinong, you're such a great cook!"

"What on earth can't you do? You're really amazing. It gives me the feeling that there's nothing you can't do."

Qiu Qinghe nodded repeatedly: "Our Yinong really knows everything. Even if you don't know something, you can learn it quickly after watching it."

"My cousin is such a gifted person, so enviable." Ruyuan also said enviously.

Qiu Yinong placed the dim sum into the steamer, turned around and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, you guys can't stop talking about how delicious it is. If you keep praising me, I'll be cocky."

"Today I'll make you vinegar-fried large intestine, braised pig's trotters, moo shu pork, and spicy grilled fish."

"By the way, cousin, please give some of Qiansilu to your uncles and aunts to try first. It won't taste as good when it gets cold later."

Ruyuan quickly responded and asked someone to deliver it to her parents-in-law.

Qiu Yinong blew up a lot of it and distributed it to the servants of the Lu family. Since Qiu Yinong had spoken, Ruyuan naturally did as she was told.

When Lu Ziyi came back, dinner was ready.

He was also shocked when he learned that some of these dishes were made by Qiu Yinong.

Although it was a commoner's voice, Qiu Yinong's temperament was there, and it didn't look like she could cook at first glance.

I didn’t expect that not only could it be made, but it also looked so delicious.

"Let's eat first." Ruyuan asked everyone to sit down.

The old couple of the Lu family were all smiling and kept saying that they were blessed today. After tasting it, they gave it rave reviews.

Qiu Yinong felt embarrassed by the praise. After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Lu left the place for Lu Ziyi and others to discuss business.

After serving the tea, the servant left, leaving only the butler to serve.

"Did today's banquet go well?" Qiu Yinong asked Lu Ziyi.

Lu Ziyi nodded: "It went smoothly, but a few people expressed their desire to send the money directly to that fake prince."

"I'm afraid he wants to show off in front of that person so that the family can get closer in the future!"

Qiu Yinong took a sip of tea before speaking, "I've tried to persuade them, but if they insist on questioning me, let them be!"

"It's hard to persuade that damned ghost with good words!"

"Today..." After Qiu Yinong told Lu Ziyi what happened today, he was surprised.

"Now he has mistaken you for Princess Ning'an?"

"Because of his guilty conscience, he will probably put pressure on us in advance, right?" Lu Ziyi quickly thought of this.

Qiu Yinong nodded: "This is inevitable. You just need to delay it. When Lord Ge arrives, we can naturally close the net."

"Yes." Lu Ziyi nodded.

After discussing the matter, they each returned to their own yard.

Chu Hongyun followed Qiu Yinong to her courtyard, held her hand and sat under the corridor, looking up at the moon.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Old Five takes advantage of the opportunity to lead his troops back to the capital and force the emperor to abdicate."

"When the enemy comes, we will fight him with soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. The law of nature is fair, and everything will return to normal." Qiu Yinong looked up at the moon.

It seems as if I see the shining door again. These are all small things in front of me. The real disaster is still to come. Dedicated people, please hold on. I will also work hard.

Chu Hongyun looked at her solemn expression and wanted to ask, but finally swallowed his words.

Since she didn't say it, it was not the right time for him to know. Asking would only cause more trouble.

He just needs to stand by her side, protect her, love her and accompany her.

Qiu Yinong came back to her senses, felt Chu Hongyun's gaze, turned around and smiled gently at him: "It's getting late, go to bed early!"

"Okay, you should rest early too."

Chu Hongyun sent her back to her room, then turned around and returned to her own residence.

"What's going on with Lao Wu?" Li Ao followed him into the house.

Li Ao reported back, "My Lord, Prince Shen has arrived at the Southern Territory's capital and is currently engaged in a heated exchange with the Empress."

"Oh? His princess can tolerate it?" If I remember correctly, Princess Shenjun is a jealous woman.

"She wanted to get angry, but she was controlled by the Empress with a poisonous insect. Whenever she got angry, she would have heart pain. How could she dare to do that?"

Li Ao replied with a sneer.

"Associating with this kind of people, I want to see what benefits Lao Wu can gain."

"A female emperor would willingly submit to being his queen? I can only say that Old Five is still a little too naive!"

Chu Hongyun sneered and shook his head, then asked, "Where are Beihan and Xirong?"
