Cheng Ping has another job?!
Shen Qingyu was surprised, but also thought it was normal: after all, he was also registered with His Majesty.
After leaving plenty of food for Yuqiao, Shen Qingyu bid farewell to the heavily pregnant Yuqiao and went out to meet Master Qian and Madam Qian.
Now that Mr. Qian is middle-aged, he has found his daughter and is particularly motivated to make money.
His purpose in meeting with Shen Qingyu was to place an order.
Soap was the most sought-after item, so he naturally took advantage of his connections to place an order first.
Shen Qingyu agreed to Mr. Qian's order for 50,000 bars of soap and wrote him a note to take to Zhao Yuzhu.
Since she had brought a lot of gold with her to buy grain in the Great Xia Kingdom, Shen Qingyu decided not to return to Shenjia Village and instead headed directly to Zhenjiang Pass.
Watching Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao leave in a hurry, Master Qian looked at the note in his hand, filled with emotion.
When I first met Shen Qingyu, she was just an ordinary village woman who had to cook a meal for her mentally challenged son to ease tensions. How long has it been? She's now a princess!
Although the princess was unpretentious and seemed as approachable as ever, Master Qian knew very well that many things had changed.
For example, the princess was able to go to the Great Xia to purchase cheap grain by imperial decree, and it was also convenient for her to purchase more grain to sell herself, while others did not have this ability.
Some jobs offer perks that can bring in a fortune, simply because one's status has changed.
A procession of carriages and horses rolled toward Hengshui Town, and after successfully boarding the ship, they soon arrived at Zhenjiang Pass.
After the Jianghai incident, the imperial court sent a new commander, and the commander of Zhenjiang Pass became the deputy commander, temporarily redeeming himself through meritorious service.
The atmosphere at Zhenjiang Pass changed immediately. The soldiers were no longer listless; they were all in high spirits, and when they saw Qi Yunxiao and his group, they were both respectful and obsequious.
The new commander of Zhenjiang Pass was extremely polite and personally escorted the group out of the pass, as if he were sending away a plague god.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu knew perfectly well that these people were afraid he would use the imperial sword to kill again!
Having returned to Great Xia, everyone was familiar with the place, but Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao did not dare to be careless. Qi Yunxiao even took the initiative to discuss with Shen Qingyu: "The gold we brought this time is five times that of last time. For safety's sake, let's put it into your space again, just like last time?"
Shen Qingyu naturally agreed, and so the gold in the box turned into stones again.
Now that the treasures have been taken in, there's no need to be so careful anymore. The couple can eat and drink as they please.
The Dragon Guards, unaware of the situation, stared wide-eyed, fearing they might be ambushed.
Unbeknownst to the group, the sight of so many vehicles carrying "gold" had already attracted the attention of certain individuals within the Great Xia territory.
On a distant mountain ridge, two figures in black stood hidden among the trees; one was tall and imposing, the other petite and delicate.
Man: "Is it them?"
Woman: Yes.
"Is that box full of gold?"
"This is their second time buying grain in Daxia. Last time they bought grain with gold."
"If it weren't for gold and silver, what would they use to exchange for food? Stones?"
"Then let's get started."
The two discussed it and watched helplessly as the convoy passed by.
As night fell, the group entered the post station.
The cities between the Great Xia Dynasty were quite far apart, so staying at post stations was the only option.
Qi Yunxiao instructed the Dragon Guards to carry all the boxes into the room, and then had someone set up a perimeter around the room.
At dinner time, the people from the post station delivered food, including fragrant stewed meat and white rice, which made the guards' mouths water.
But everyone just glanced at it and no one reached out to take it.
"We'll cook for ourselves, so you can eat the food yourselves. You don't need to worry about our meals."
Since learning their lesson from being drugged last time, the Dragon Guards have been carrying plenty of dry rations, dried meat, and water.
When they ran out of water, they would simply refill their bottles in the river, taking their defense to the extreme.
The official at the post station: "This..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? From now on, unless we come looking for you, don't come into the backyard again." The Dragon Guards didn't hesitate to start shooing people away.
The officer left the backyard looking like he was about to cry.
What if those people don't eat this food?
Is there no hope for my wife, children, and elderly parents?
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu ate food that Shen Qingyu had prepared herself.
Shen Qingyu had everything in her space. After kicking the person out of the kitchen, she took out all the pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar from her space.
I cooked three dishes: two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, using vegetables grown in the space and meat and eggs stored in the warehouse. I also cooked rice grown in the space's spiritual field. That was it.
After putting everything back in, Shen Qingyu also put some of the original food from the kitchen into her spatial storage before calling Qi Yunxiao in to bring the food back to their room for dinner.
Once the kitchen was quiet again, the official who had been there earlier quietly entered the kitchen and breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the seasonings that had been "used".
Even if you're as cunning as a devil, you still have to drink my foot bath water!
Even if we didn't take down those dozens, taking down the two leaders would count as completing part of the mission.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu ate behind closed doors, and Qi Yunxiao sighed with satisfaction as he ate.
Since learning about the existence of the space, Shen Qingyu gradually stopped avoiding him, and he was able to enjoy the delicious and effective food with her more often.
I have to say, I've been eating these a lot lately. After a period of stagnation, I seem to have improved again.
Qi Yunxiao guessed that these foods were good for the body, helping to repair the damage caused by previous training and poisoning, and expel residual toxins.
