Wen Che has stopped.
Xiao Yunqi reflected for a moment, then brought up Shen Qingyu, and sneered, "That woman has good taste; she looked down on me, but took a liking to you, the Crown Prince, at first glance!"
“That’s probably not what she meant…” Wen Che explained dryly.
Xiao Yunqi waved his hand: "I know you don't like her either."
"I'm just indignant! How dare a country bumpkin like me be so haughty!"
Wen Che: "..."
Forget it, it's their marital affair; the more I say, the more mistakes I'll make.
I'll try to be more careful in the future.
Unconcerned about this, Shen Qingyu finished preparing the glutinous rice and returned to her room.
Both girls were asleep. Shen Qingyu went into her spatial dimension, put two handfuls of soybeans soaked in spiritual spring water into a wooden bucket, covered it with a damp cloth, and placed it by the spiritual spring.
I'm so sick of eating cabbage every meal!
Shen Qingyu missed the various off-season vegetables in the supermarket terribly...
Sprouting beans isn't difficult; give it a try.
The items in the storage room are kept fresh and warm, and will not spoil over time. The hot glutinous rice is stored there.
Outside the warehouse, crops grow much faster than in the outside world.
Now the bone-strengthening grass has grown in large patches!
Of course, there were also soybeans soaking in a water vat in the kitchen as a pretense. They would be rotated with the soybeans in the space from time to time, so no one would suspect anything...
The final step, of course, is to wash your face and body with the spiritual spring water, and brush your teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste...
The next morning, Shen Qingyu prepared breakfast, ate it herself first, and then instructed Xiao Yunqi and Wen Che to drive the donkey cart to town.
Watching the donkey cart drive away, Wen Che wondered, "I wonder how things are outside now..."
Xiao Yunqi: "You stay here for now, I'll go to town to check on things later."
"You be careful too..." Before Wen Che could finish his warning, a middle-aged man strolled back from the direction of the village entrance with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Yunqi greeted him, "Third Uncle, where are you going so early?"
Uncle Shen sighed, "I just went to check the fields. It hasn't rained, the fields are all dry, and we can't plow them!"
It's time to prepare for plowing and rice seedling cultivation.
It hasn't rained in Hengshui Town since the Lunar New Year.
This is very unusual.
The village head happened to come over and, upon hearing Uncle Chen's words, sighed, "Isn't that right? If we delay the rice planting, everything will be delayed!"
"If all else fails, we'll just have to fetch water..." Uncle Shen sighed.
“That’s true…” Xiao Yunqi, who knew nothing about farming, could only agree.
The village head glanced at Xiao Yunqi, then looked at Wen Che: "Is this young man your cousin? He's quite handsome! Is he married?"
The village head's family also has a fifteen-year-old girl who is not yet engaged.
Xiao Yunqi explained, "My cousin's family is already engaged, but they are not married yet."
You're not good enough for me.
The village headman immediately said with regret, "Oh, I see... What a pity."
He heard that Xiao Yunqi's cousin was literate and was even looking for a scholar as a son-in-law...
If this child were to pass the imperial examinations and become a scholar or a successful candidate in the provincial examinations in the future, we would be incredibly rich!
When his plan failed, the village head asked Shen Qingyu about selling glutinous rice.
Xiao Yunqi sighed helplessly, "I told her not to go, but she insisted on going..."
The village head thought Xiao Yunqi was being a bit pretentious: "I heard from Cuixi that her business is doing very well, and she earns enough money to support three children!"
Xiao Yunqi was taken aback: "Really?"
He never asked Shen Qingyu about her business.
For Xiao Yunqi, whose business often involved thousands of taels of silver, earning two copper coins a day was no different from earning two taels of silver.
The village head was also taken aback: Xiao Yunqi didn't know how much money Shen Qingyu made?
impossible!
The couple must have been afraid that others would imitate them and steal their business, so they kept it hidden.
...
There weren't many people in Hengshui Town today, and Shen Qingyu didn't expect business to be as good as yesterday, so she took the donkey cart directly to the village school.
There is a small square in front of the village school, where you can also find food such as rice noodles and snacks.
Most of them came carrying loads on their shoulders. Shen Qingyu was the first to come selling things in a donkey cart.
The students are all in class right now, so everyone else is quite relaxed.
Upon seeing the arrival of the "new member," everyone reacted with varying expressions.
After parking the donkey cart, Shen Qingyu first ate some rice noodles at the stall next door, then bought some donkey rolls from the stall next to the rice noodle stall, and then bought some malt candy from another stall... She served all the customers in the small square.
After tasting them, I had a basic understanding of the flavors and prices of the food.
The rice noodle stall owner found Shen Qingyu to be kind and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Young lady, is this your first time setting up a stall? What are you selling?"
"I came to town yesterday, but I didn't come to the village school. I sell glutinous rice."
Shen Qingyu smiled and placed the sign written by Wen Che in front of the wooden bucket: "Sticky Rice".
The words "sticky rice" are written in large characters, with "minced meat and pickled cabbage" written in smaller characters on the upper left and "ten coins each" written in smaller characters on the lower right.
Simple and clear.
The moment the sign was put up, everyone's attention changed.
Those who usually carry food on shoulder poles to sell are all illiterate, so who would bother putting up a sign?
And this guy even came in a donkey cart; that's quite a different story!
"Oh! This is quite serious!" The sarcastic voice came from the auntie who bought donkey rolls.
The woman was short and stout, with a somewhat mean-looking face.
Shen Qingyu smiled, taking it as irony: "It is quite serious."
Shen Qingyu's kindness was mistaken for weakness by the aunt, who rolled her eyes without hesitation: "You have a donkey cart and you can write, why are you still trying to earn a living from us poor people? Go open a shop!"
Shen Qingyu didn't like hearing this, and she looked at the aunt with a smile.
