It's strange, really. Not only do others think she looks young, but even she sometimes finds it odd. She subconsciously pinches her skin, and while it's not exactly flawless, it's fair and smooth. Even wealthy women who regularly take care of their skin might not have skin like that at her age.
This phenomenon... is like she's rejuvenating! When she first transmigrated, the original owner's skin was never this fair; instead, it was yellowish-black, wrinkled, and lacked protein, so it was perfectly normal for her to be called "old lady."
But now, looking at her all at once, it's hard to believe she's almost forty, or even thirty!
She looks more like her actual age! Around twenty-eight years old...
Is it because you absorbed the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Tongue last time?
At that moment, she suddenly felt a little irritated. She had never seen that strange plant before, and it was probably some kind of mutated DNA in it that had affected her genes…
Thinking about the recent changes in her appearance, strength, speed, hearing, and so on, she didn't know whether to feel fortunate or worried.
"Boss lady!"
Hearing someone call her name, she subconsciously looked up and saw a beautiful woman walking in with a smile.
It was her? The woman who looked so surprised when the white lotus provoked her last time! Seeing this, Qin Qing also smiled.
"Are you here to buy rice? How was the taste last time?"
The woman smiled.
“Of course it’s excellent! My mistress praised the white rice repeatedly after eating it, and that’s why she asked me to buy more.”
Although Qin Qing didn't know who her mistress was, who would refuse a business that was offered to them?
"That's good. How many kilograms are you planning to buy this time?"
As she was saying this, she reached for a bag to put the rice in, but the woman quickly stopped her.
"Hey, boss lady, don't worry! I brought my own people with me."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand, and two strong men walked in. Only then did Qin Qing notice the cart at the door and was shocked. Clearly, the woman was going to buy a lot this time!
Seeing this, she was delighted, but she also understood the principle that things are valued for their rarity, and a conflicted look appeared on her face.
"How much would you like to buy, young lady? I only have ten jin (5 kg) left in the shop right now. If you want more, you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow..."
Upon hearing this, the woman looked surprised, then suddenly remembered Qin Qing's words about how hard it was for the rice to come by, and a look of sudden realization flashed across her face.
"Oh no! What should we do? I promised Momo I would buy more, and my wife also wanted to give some to her friends!"
Seeing her like this, Qin Qing thought for a moment, then pointed to the rice in sacks not far away.
"How about this, you buy these ten catties today, and I'll go over tomorrow and deliver the newly arrived goods to you. Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, young lady, you can also have your servants come to my place to collect the rice!"
The woman's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this!
"That's good, I'll have someone come and pick it up tomorrow!"
Seeing that she agreed, Qin Qing reached out and tore a piece of paper from the ledger, picked up a brush and began to write.
A woman nearby, seeing this, curiously peeked out...
"What is this? A letter of commitment?"
Qin Qing responded as she wrote.
"My Qin's Rice Shop promises to prepare ten catties of high-quality rice for our customers tomorrow. The young lady can send someone to me with this receipt tomorrow to prevent anyone from impersonating her."
After saying that, she handed the document to the woman with a serious expression.
The woman was taken aback by what she heard. She hadn't thought much about it, after all, there weren't many people in the world who would dare to impersonate someone from the princess's residence.
However, seeing Qin Qing's sincerity and earnestness, she cautiously accepted the receipt, feeling even more that the proprietress was honest.
"Sixty taels, not a penny less! My name is Xiao Xiao. If you have any special rice in the future, please let me know."
After saying that, the woman turned and left.
Qin Qing smiled as she accepted the silver, watching the backs of the group, including the carriage! A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Whose servants were they? Those two burly men didn't seem like ordinary laborers at all. The woman named Xiao, though calling herself a maid, couldn't hide her underlying confidence; she was clearly very proud of her master…
From their clothing to their belongings and carriages, everything was handled very properly, making it impossible to guess who was behind them, which shows how cautious they were!
Just then, a gentle breeze blew in, and several guests walked in. She quickly snapped back to reality and put the silver back in the drawer.
This kept me busy all afternoon!
After all the guests had left, the sky began to darken, and seeing that there were hardly any people left and the streets were starting to empty, Qin Qing packed up her things and prepared to close the shop and go home.
At this moment, a woman dressed in red cloth, with a charming figure, walked in from outside, her eyes haughty and full of disdain.
Qin Qing looked up and smiled after recognizing the person who had come.
"Miss, I'm sorry, my rice shop is closed today. Why don't you try another one?"
Upon hearing this, the visitor's face darkened, and he angrily retorted.
"What do you mean by that? I just saw someone leave. How come others can buy it, but I can't?"
Seeing her difficult demeanor, Qin Qing's expression turned cold, and she calmly said.
"Since you want to buy, young lady, you must like my rice, right? In that case, I'll finish this order before closing. How many kilograms of rice would you like, young lady?"
Seeing that she had given in, the woman snorted disdainfully.
"What's with that look? I don't even want to buy your rice! Stop pretending!"
Qin Qing remained unmoved, staring at her expressionlessly.
"Not buying it again?"
The woman felt uneasy under her gaze, but still managed to choke out her words.
"That's right... how about I not buy it!"
Seeing this, Qin Qing nodded, picked up today's account book and records, and walked towards the door!
Seeing that Qin Qing was about to lock the door, the woman panicked and rushed over to stop him, shouting.
"Are you blind... Can't you see I'm still inside? Everyone says your Qin's Rice Shop has great service and good quality! In my opinion, it's nothing but a fart! Huh!!"
The woman screamed as soon as she finished speaking! Qin Qing suddenly grabbed her arm with one hand and pinched her waist with the other, pulling the woman, who weighed over 100 pounds, up into the air. She was spun around 300 degrees in the air before being slammed heavily to the ground!
After completing this set of actions, Qin Qing calmly clapped her hands, looked around to make sure there was no one left because of the darkness, and then reached out her hand again…
"Ah! What are you doing! What are you trying to do!?"
Qin Qing grabbed the woman's hair with one hand, making her already disheveled hair even more messy. Suddenly, she tightened her grip, and the woman let out a terrified scream.
Qin Qing bent down and met her gaze...
