There was a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum inside the wooden box.
Madam Hao said, "Quickly, let me see it."
Upon hearing this, Granny Yu presented the wooden box, and Old Madam Hao gently picked up the Ganoderma lucidum and examined it carefully.
Madam Hao stared intently at the lustrous, well-preserved Ganoderma lucidum in her hand, and laughed heartily, "This girl is not one to take what belongs to others."
Granny Yu asked with some curiosity, "This Ganoderma lucidum is so big, it must be several hundred years old, right?!"
Granny Yu had served Old Madam Hao for decades and had seen many fine things. Their Hao family's storeroom also contained a three-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, about the size of a fist, much smaller than the Ganoderma lucidum that Lu Qiqi had given her.
Madam Hao seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "This Ganoderma lucidum is of excellent quality, at least eight or nine hundred years old, and it may even be over a thousand years old. I wonder where she found it."
Granny Yu exclaimed with wide eyes, "It's actually a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! This must be worth a lot of money. Miss Sun is truly extremely filial to you!"
That's incredibly filial piety! With such a wonderful thing, if they could find a pharmacy that could take this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, their family wouldn't have to live in a wooden house anymore. They could buy a large mansion and still have money left over.
Lu Qiqi took Lu Yao back to the wooden house. After returning to their room, they went into their space. She gave the largest Ganoderma lucidum that Xiao Hua had found to Old Madam Hao. The remaining two Ganoderma lucidum were carefully stored in a wooden box.
Lu Qiqi took a hoe and dug up the sweet potatoes, planning to clear a plot of land later specifically to grow the vegetables and fruits she wanted to eat.
The land beneath her feet is used to grow medicinal herbs.
She thought that since she knew medicine, why not put her knowledge to use and spread more prescriptions to more people?
With a goal in mind, Lu Qiqi has boundless motivation to work, and the sweet potatoes covering the ground bring her even more joy.
Lu Qiqi picked up a sweet potato and placed it at her feet. Comparing her toes with the sweet potato, she immediately noticed the difference in length and size.
Lu Qiqi was overjoyed. The sweet potatoes irrigated with the spiritual spring water were two or three times larger than those outside. If they were high-quality medicinal herbs, wouldn't their medicinal effects be many times greater?
With this idea in mind, Lu Qiqi planned to go to the noodle shop on Wednesday to collect money and settle accounts, and then find two old women to wash dishes. They would be paid daily, with four large coins each day. This way, she would have time to go to the mountains to find herbs to plant in her space.
A field of sweet potatoes covered an entire room of the wooden house, and Lu Qiqi already had a good plan in mind.
In the future, these sweet potatoes can be made into dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour. The dried sweet potatoes can be given to Lu Yao and the others as snacks, and the sweet potato flour can be sold in the store.
Lu Dahai and the others worked in the fields at noon. If they found it troublesome, they could eat sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs. These sweet potatoes were soft and sweet, and much easier to eat than those hard and dry pancakes.
After finishing her work, Lu Qiqi took a bath in the cabin before comfortably leaving the space.
......
Lu Qiqi didn't want to ask her aunt in the village to wash dishes, and she didn't want the villagers to know that they had opened a noodle shop in the city, which was very popular and had long queues of customers every day.
If someone were to try and borrow something like they did with the cow last time, causing trouble and injuring her family, Lu Qiqi wouldn't have the time to deal with such trivial matters.
Therefore, he did not mention it to Madam Lu and Madam Li, but only told Liu Tong, letting Liu Tong decide for himself whether or not to use the person.
Then Lu Qiqi wrote a job posting for two dishwashers and posted it on the wall of the spicy noodle shop so that passersby could see it.
After a busy midday, Lu Qiqi remembered that the porcelain shop owner had asked his assistant to tell her that the items she had ordered were ready and that she should go and take a look.
Lu Qiqi greeted Liu Tong and then went to the porcelain shop.
......
This was the first time Manager Zheng had received such an order. The customer had drawn a strange design for him to make, and the finished product had to fit perfectly into a porcelain tube that was as straight as a bamboo tube.
Manager Zheng was quite distressed because he couldn't get Lu Qiqi to agree after several attempts.
Fortunately, Lu Qiqi was not stingy with money, and she covered the losses for any mistakes.
Manager Zheng had nothing to say, and he was happy to earn this money. He also wanted to see what kind of product could make Lu Qiqi nod in agreement.
In the porcelain shop, Manager Zheng greeted Lu Qiqi with a smile.
Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and said, "Miss Lu, those strange and unusual porcelain items you ordered are all ready. I guarantee you'll be satisfied this time."
Lu Qiqi smiled faintly, "Then take me to see it."
Lu Qiqi followed Manager Zheng to the backyard, where many workers were carrying porcelain into the house.
Manager Zheng led Lu Qiqi into a small house in the far corner of the courtyard. As soon as Lu Qiqi entered the house, she saw that the ceramic water traps she had ordered were neatly arranged in wooden boxes.
Lu Qiqi weighed the water trap in her hand and felt that it wasn't heavy, which showed that Manager Zheng had made careful improvements. It was worth the effort of her suggestions.
Lu Qiqi picked up one of the water traps and walked towards the ceramic connector in the corner, with Manager Zheng following behind.
Lu Qiqi squatted down, picked up a ceramic connector, and tightened the drain bend to the ceramic connector. It fit perfectly, just like a screw and nut.
Just then, Manager Zheng handed over a spoonful of water, and a waiter placed a copper basin at Lu Qiqi's feet.
Lu Qiqi took the water.
Zheng Zhang stood behind Lu Qiqi, holding his breath and not daring to make any big movements, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
Lu Qiqi poured the water into the trap, and the water flowed through the ceramic pipe into the copper basin, making a crisp sound.
Shopkeeper Zheng looked at the strange joint of the porcelain, not a single drop of water had leaked out. He clapped his hands and exclaimed in delight, "It's done! It's finally done this time!"
Lu Qiqi smiled when she saw what she had in her hand. She was very satisfied; it was worth the long wait.
After Lu Qiqi paid the final payment, she asked Manager Zheng to help deliver it to the veterans' village.
Shopkeeper Zheng received the money, his mouth agape in a wide smile, and didn't ask Lu Qiqi why she wanted to make such strange porcelain.
Every industry has its rules, and Manager Zheng, having been in the business world for many years, understands these rules.
Lu Qiqi was very curious about Manager Zheng, but he didn't ask her a single question that crossed the line, which pleased her.
However, she wasn't deliberately hiding it; she just felt it would be too troublesome to explain.
Lu Qiqi immediately decided that if she needed anything related to porcelain in the future, she would come back to Manager Zheng for cooperation.
Under Manager Zheng's supervision, the shop assistants at the ceramics store brought two oxcarts to complete the installation of the ceramic water traps, connectors, and water pipes ordered by Lu Qiqi.
After the porcelain was packed, Lu Qiqi and the shop assistant from the ceramics store rode in an oxcart back to the veterans' village.
