Where did you get this?

"Where did you get it from?"

"It must have been bought! Did they find it somewhere?"

"I just bought rice from the grain station and was walking back through the alley when I met an old lady."

"I noticed they were acting suspiciously, so I went up and asked them. I didn't expect they were reselling things."

"Look, this fish was just caught by her son from the river, it's very fresh. You can make it into a steamed fish for her later."

Su Qingci counted on her fingers, "Stir-fry some cured pork, steam some fish, and stir-fry some greens, that'll do."

"The rice is on the stove. You start cooking first, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Song Jingzhou nodded, "Okay, I'll be right away, you go ahead! It's too hot in here."

"I'll call you when it's ready!"

Su Qingci ordered the food, patted her bottom, and left.

He went back to his room, locked the door, and went back into the farm.

Rinse all the collected fruit with water and then put them directly into the slicer to cut.

The farm used to make and sell dried fruit.

It seems there was a year when the orchard had a bumper harvest, but the weather was bad and there were few customers.

Fresh fruit was difficult to sell, so Uncle Dasheng bought a complete set of fruit preserve making tools.

They processed all the unsold fruit into dried fruit and sold it.

The dried fruit made from these fruits is easy to preserve and can be sold year-round, making it very popular with guests at guesthouses.

Unfortunately, the process is a bit complicated.

The cut fruit slices should be soaked in sweet water for a while.

This will make the flavor even sweeter.

Arrange the fruit slices neatly one by one, and then put them into the dehydrator.

Su Qingci clapped her hands and let out a long breath.

Even with the help of high technology, producing so many fruits is still a huge undertaking.

Drying dried fruit takes several hours. Once the drying machine is set up, it will automatically shut off when the time is up.

We'll continue tonight.

After quickly taking a shower and leaving the farm, Song Jingzhou had already set out the meal in the yard.

"It's ready to eat."

"Okay, I got it!"

As soon as Su Qingci opened the door, she smelled an enticing aroma.

It tastes like stir-fried green peppers with cured pork.

Su Qingci's cravings were instantly aroused.

The foot that had just stepped out the door was pulled back inside.

When the door opened again, he had a jar of raw liquor in his hand.

"You've brought honor to your family! Your skills are truly impressive!"

"Good food deserves good wine. Come on, have a drink!"

Song Jingzhou paused in setting the bowls, glanced at Su Qingci's excited face, and then a dark glint flashed in his lowered eyes.

"Okay, I'll go get the cup!"

After a couple of drinks, the two started talking more.

Su Qingci looked at Song Jingzhou, who was patiently picking out fish meat for her, and cautiously asked.

"Bringing honor to your ancestors, what kind of person do you like?"

"I mean a partner, what kind of partner are you looking for?"

"And you?"

"Me? I'm looking for someone who'll give me money to spend!"

Is there anything else?

"It won't cost me any money!"

"Just these two conditions?"

"You don't need me to pay you back after we break up!"

Seeing the other person looking at her speechlessly, Su Qingci said, "What I just said was the most basic."

"The key is that he has to be handsome, treat me well, be strong, have good stamina, preferably have eight-pack abs, and be able to lift me up with one hand!"

Song Jingzhou's lips twitched. "What do you mean by saying you'd break up with me and I won't let you pay me back? You're thinking about breaking up before we've even started dating?"

"Dating without the intention of marriage is immoral!"

"Sigh, who knows what will happen with relationships? What if the other person falls for someone else halfway through? Why should I keep clinging on?"

"There are too many men in the world, why hang yourself on one tree!"

"By the way, what about you? Tell me, what kind of person are you looking for?"

Song Jingzhou paused, picking at the fish with his chopsticks. "Didn't you ask that last time?"

"Oh, seriously, even the Seven Fairies might not be able to meet your condition last time."

Song Jingzhou put down his chopsticks, grabbed the wine jar next to him, and filled Su Qingci's cup.

He looked up at her intently and said, "You're beautiful, petite, cheerful, and have an interesting personality. You're a good match for me."

Su Qingci felt a little awkward under the other person's intense gaze and quickly picked up her cup to hide her embarrassment.

"Come on, let's have a drink!"

After downing his drink in one gulp, he took his chopsticks and gave the other person a few pieces of cured meat in return.

"Here, you eat too!"

Song Jingzhou stared blankly at the cured meat in the bowl for a long while.

This is not just ordinary cured meat.

Su Qingci, however, was propping her head up with her hand, deep in thought.

Why does she think that Guangzong Yaozu likes her?

It wasn't that she was narcissistic, but rather that she met all the conditions the other party mentioned.

She's beautiful and petite? Absolutely!

She has an outgoing personality? Absolutely!

Is she interesting? Absolutely!

And she gets along really well with him!

Oh my, isn't that her?

If you like someone, why not just say it?

It's making her guess and feel anxious, so annoying.

Never mind, if he won't tell me, I will.

"Bringing honor to one's ancestors," I feel like you're talking about me.

"Pfft~ cough cough cough~"

Song Jingzhou was so frightened that the cured meat he was holding in his mouth went straight into his trachea.

"Look, all the things you said match up with me. Do you like me?"

"Cough cough cough~"

Su Qingci picked up her wine cup, tilted her head back, and downed it in one gulp, using the wine to embolden herself.

"Ouch, what are you coughing for!"

"If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it. What's with all the coughing and spitting?"

"I'll just cough you to death! Seriously!"
