Chapter 12 Tushan Master

The next morning, Qiao Su Luo woke up early.

When she woke up and opened her eyes to look at the dilapidated roof beams, she vaguely realized where she was and had to accept reality.

Qiao Su Luo is not the type of person who wastes time on internal conflicts. She decides to make the best of things and gets up quickly.

When she got up, it was just dawn. Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo had already gotten up. Some were carrying water, while others were chopping firewood. They were all busy.

Qiao Su Luo quickly washed up and made breakfast so that she could go to the county town early to set up her stall.

For breakfast, she made radish and egg soup with eggs and radishes, and pancakes with whole-grain flour. This was all thanks to the food everyone gave her last night, otherwise she would have had no food to eat in the morning.

Later she will have to think about how to repay everyone.

Qiao Su Luo was not used to eating simple pancakes. When she made pancakes in the past, she would always make giant pancakes and put a lot of things in them so that they would taste delicious and refreshing.

The pancakes I made in the morning were just simple multi-grain pancakes with some chopped green onions and coriander, nothing else.

Even so, she felt it was already good, better than having nothing to eat.

If she wants to eat delicious food, she has to make money urgently.

"You guys eat it too. Multi-grain flour might not taste good when used to make other foods, so I made pancakes instead. You guys can try it and see how it tastes."

Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo nodded and then started eating.

They were as elegant and graceful as ever while eating, and their temperament was totally out of place in this simple environment.

Que Hongjin was eating the multi-grain pancake with a look of surprise. He had been accustomed to a life of luxury since childhood. When he first ate multi-grain noodles, he felt that his throat was sore and difficult to swallow, and even his stomach was uncomfortable and unable to digest.

But in order to have enough food to eat and survive, he had to force himself to adapt.

I didn’t expect that the pancakes made from whole grains taste so good. When you bite it, the crispy fragrance explodes on the tip of your tongue, accompanied by the refreshing feeling of chopped green onions and coriander, which whets your appetite.

A simple radish and egg soup, take a spoonful and the sweetness of the radish and the mellow aroma of the egg are intertwined, with a slightly spicy taste, which warms the stomach, like the warm sun in winter, giving people a healing sense of satisfaction.

The spicy feeling is because Qiao Su Luo added pepper.

She also exchanged it with points from the space mall. The points were not many, so she couldn't exchange them for anything else, but it was okay to exchange them for some seasonings.

The main reason is that the seasonings in the space mall are cheap.

Que Hongjin had to admit, "They're delicious. Is my wife also planning to go to the market to sell multi-grain pancakes?"

Qiao Su Luo shook her head and said, "No, making multi-grain pancakes is too busy. I also need to make frying pans, and all of these require money. Let's start with some low-cost business."

Bai Qianluo ate his breakfast quietly, with a cloth covering his eyes, so his expression could not be seen clearly. He only paused for a moment when he started eating, as if he was surprised by the taste of the food. "It's delicious, thank you, my wife."

After saying that, he continued to eat in silence, neither hurried nor slow, as quiet as a painting.

"You are welcome."

I have never seen them so polite before. In the past, Bai Qianluo was like a mute towards his predecessor, and would not speak unless he could.

"And this is Konjac. I don't know if you can handle spicy food, but if you can, you can have it as a side dish."

They were in the south. Based on her previous life's memories, she knew that people here particularly liked spicy food, but Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo came here from the capital, and they might not like spicy food.

So when Qiao Suluo made multi-grain pancakes, she did not put konjac in them to eat.

In fact, if you like spicy food, it will be especially delicious this way.

“I can only eat spicy food.”

The konjac sauce is made with so many peppers that Quehongjin can’t eat it.

Bai Qianluo can't eat anything spicy.

Only Qiao Su Luo was eating with gusto.

…

After finishing breakfast and packing up, Qiao Suluo prepared to go to the county market. Bai Qianluo was no longer silent and said, "I'll accompany my wife."

A shimmering light flashed across Que Hongjin's gorgeous eyes. He stepped forward and said, "I'll accompany my wife as well. Providing for the family is the responsibility of a beastly husband. How can I let my wife suffer alone?"

Hearing these words, Qiao Su Luo's mouth twitched. Que Hong Jin would never say such words before.

They wished they could not say a word to her and stay away from her.

Qiao Suluo originally planned to go to the market alone, but since they were willing to go together, they went together.

Although the two people are sick and disabled, they are good-looking. If they stand there, perhaps her stall will attract more business.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, there was an ox cart parked there. There were many people sitting on the cart, and the uncle driving the ox seemed to be waiting for someone.

When he saw Qiao Su Luo and the other two, the uncle said enthusiastically, "Miss Qiao, Master Que, Master Bai, are you also going to the county town? I have room on my ox cart. I'd like to give you a ride."

Qiao Suluo suddenly thought that her uncle usually drove an ox cart into the county town, which cost one cent per trip. The three of them needed three cents, or six cents for a round trip, which was enough to buy a pound of coarse rice to eat.

Besides, she didn't have a penny now, so she could only shake her head and say, "Uncle Lin, we won't ride in an ox cart."

"You guys can sit here for free."

Qiao Su Luo waved her hand and said, "Uncle Lin, thank you for your kindness. I'm too fat now, and I'll lose some weight if I move around."

In the past, the villagers would avoid her when they saw her, but probably because she saved someone yesterday and taught everyone first aid, everyone's attitude towards her has changed a little.

After Qiao Suluo rejected the uncle, some villagers came and got on the ox cart, and the cart left.

Qiao Suluo and the other two walked into the county town.

Just when passing a road on the way, Qiao Su Luo discovered the locust flowers.

"These are locust flowers. There are so many locust trees on both sides."

Qiao Suluo's eyes lit up with excitement.

This season happens to be the season when locust flowers bloom. Locust flowers can be used to make many delicious dishes. They are ready-made ingredients.

Que Hongjin thought Qiao Su Luo liked these flowers. Although he was a little surprised, he still said, "If my wife likes flowers like this, I will pick some when I come back. However, these flowers are not easy to grow back home."

Qiao Su Luo shook her head and said, "Acacia flowers are edible."

Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo both stopped in their tracks; this was the first time they had heard such a statement.

They had never heard that locust flowers were edible, otherwise why didn't anyone pick them when there were so many?

However, thinking about the food Qiao Su Luo had made in the past two days, they had to believe what she said. They were just curious whether the food made from this flower was really edible?

I don’t know how it tastes.

"Let's go to the market and sell some first, and pick more when we come back."

After she cooked the food, she would send some back to the people in the village who had sent her gifts so that they could try it. This was a way of returning the favor and giving everyone an extra kind of food to cook.

…

It was not until Qiao Su Luo and the others entered the county town that they realized how prosperous it was and how many people had come into the town today.

Qiao Su Luo happened to overhear some conversations about the beastly fox husband that her previous life had sold.

"Hurry up and grab a seat at Nanfeng Building. If you go too late there won't be any seats left."

"Yes, I heard that this morning was Master Tushan's first stage performance."

"That's Master Tushan, what can he perform?"

"Master Tushan is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is especially skilled in sword dancing. A beauty dancing with a sword is a rare sight. Fox beasts are rarely seen in our south. They are naturally extremely beautiful, let alone this fox beast who is a direct descendant of Qingqiu Mountain. I heard that one glance from him would make him faint with excitement and amazement."
