The elderly couple and Zhao Minggeng knew that Zhao Qingyan had a spatial dimension containing a large amount of food, so she wouldn't go hungry. However, the other family members were unaware of this and were all very worried about Zhao Qingyan's health.
In the end, Zhao Qingyan had no choice but to fill her stomach, which should have been filled with rice, with a large amount of vegetables and meat.
But eating those things every day almost made Zhao Qingyan vomit.
That day, Zhao Qingyan simply couldn't eat any more of what she was eating. So she took the cook home and made tofu.
We're doomed. Chu Zhongji has his eye on us again.
"This stuff is wonderful, as white as jade and as fine as cream, it melts in your mouth, excellent! May I ask for the recipe?"
Chu Zhongji shamelessly begged for more while eating, and the Zhao family looked at him as if he were a fool.
Only then did Chu Zhongji realize something was wrong. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhao Qianci was almost defeated by his shamelessness.
"Lord Chu is not wrong, but the Zhao family cannot sell this prescription."
Chu Zhongji stared wide-eyed. "Why? I didn't say I was going to buy it."
Zhao Qianci was so angry he laughed.
"So Lord Chu is trying to take it for free? I'm afraid you've miscalculated."
The Zhao family already sold the prescription for 8,000 taels of silver. If Lord Chu wants the prescription, he'll have to go to Wangyue Tower and discuss it with Manager Han.
Chu Zhongji was taken aback by the price and said awkwardly,
"I don't mean to keep this recipe to myself, it's just that I feel this stuff is delicious and the Emperor hasn't had a chance to try it yet."
He thought he should get the prescription and send it to the emperor.
"Didn't you give me a lot of recipes before? Why can't I do this now? How would I know?"
As he spoke, his voice trailed off, and Zhao Qianci sighed.
"Does Your Excellency mean that I should humbly accept some money for the recipes I gave you before?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhongji exclaimed, "This won't do! I'm saving my money to buy land for farming, how can I use it to buy recipes? Besides, I did indeed send the previous recipes to the Emperor."
I simply made a copy without permission.
"No, no, I don't have any money."
Besides, those prescriptions were indeed sent into the palace, along with the pigs.
If you want silver, go ask the Emperor.
After saying that, Chu Zhongji shut up and ate his meal in peace, knowing that his recent overreaching had angered the Zhao family.
Even with guards, he dared not provoke the Zhao family.
From the oldest to the youngest in the Zhao family, apart from Zhao Qianci and the few children he was carrying who didn't know martial arts,
The others are all trained fighters. If they beat me up, who can I complain to?
Seeing that Chu Zhongji was no longer making unreasonable demands, Zhao Qianci stopped paying attention to him.
In any case, the corn has already been properly sold to him, which will make it easier for the Zhao family to benefit the villagers in the future.
After eating rice paddy fish for a few more meals, Chu Zhongji took his leave. Before leaving, he gave the Zhao family his address in Beijing and the money from selling the jar of wine.
When asked why the money for the wine was received so quickly, the reason was simple: the wine hadn't even entered the capital before it was intercepted by officials from all over who had heard the news.
The amount of money given was quite substantial. In the capital, a catty of silver could sell for at most 1,500 taels, but these local officials inflated the price to as high as 2,000 taels.
Holding the thick wad of silver notes, Zhao Qianci sighed and returned the notes to Huang.
With the money, Huang immediately went out to buy a large house in the prefectural city and open an orphanage.
This time, Huang did not bring Zhao Qingyan, but brought Zhao Qinglin instead.
Zhao Qingyan's face is so distinctive that it's easy for her to attract trouble.
As for Zhao Qinglin, she's not unattractive; she's definitely a pretty girl from a modest family, the kind of gentle and pleasing to the eye, but not stunningly beautiful.
With her by her side, Mrs. Huang felt she could worry less.
In addition, Qinglin is also getting on in years, and it's time for her to learn how to manage a household.
The daughters of the Zhao family must be able to grace a formal occasion, cook a delicious meal, fight off hooligans, and run a successful business.
Buying a house and acquiring land are essential lessons to learn.
Zhao Qinglin never expected that her grandmother would take her out this time.
"Grandma, are you sure you're taking me, and not Third Sister?"
Mrs. Huang looked at her second granddaughter as if she were a fool.
"I'm bringing you along. If you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll take Qinghe instead."
Qinglin immediately jumped up.
"Grandma, Grandma, I'm going, I'm going, Grandma, wait for me, I'm going to pack my things."
This was the first time Mrs. Huang had seen her granddaughter with such a lively and unconventional side.
"What's the rush to pack? I never said I was leaving today. Don't you even know what time it is?"
Half an hour later, Zhao Qinglin came out carrying a huge travel bag.
That's right, it's a travel bag.
This was a design drawn by Zhao Qingyan based on the style of travel bags from later generations. As a result, the skillful people in the Zhao family figured out how to make it.
Furthermore, they applied this knowledge to create backpacks in different styles, colors, and fabrics.
Zhao Qingyan had no choice but to praise her sisters for their skillful hands.
He placed the large package on a chair in the main hall, wiped the sweat from his brow,
"Grandma, when are we leaving? Why haven't we seen a carriage prepared?"
Mrs. Huang laughed, "I didn't say I was leaving today."
What?
Looking at her granddaughter's innocent face, Mrs. Huang smiled, and everyone else in the room smiled too.
However, the next morning, the grandfather and grandson went out without even having breakfast.
Zhao Qinglin was incredibly excited. The farthest place she usually went was the county, and she never imagined she would have to go to the prefectural city one day.
The grandfather, grandson, and coachman had breakfast at Zhao's Snack Shop in town, and then packed some buns and steamed bread to go before hurrying to the prefectural city.
They didn't even stop at Zhao's Snack Shop in the county.
After Huang took Zhao Qinglin away, Zhao Qingyan got a little bored at home every day. Her two sisters-in-law spent their days taking care of the baby.
Especially the second sister-in-law, even though she hired a maid to help take care of the child, she still had to feed the child herself.
Zhao Qingyan did bring baby formula, but who knows why she thought of buying baby supplies when she was hoarding things in her past life.
But my second sister-in-law was always worried that the formula was too expensive and that if the baby got used to it, he would stop drinking breast milk later, which would be a problem. Besides, she still had breast milk, so she decided to breastfeed him herself.
Zhao Qingyan was truly exasperated with her second sister-in-law. Having no other choice, she had to get her a milk goat.
Before giving this goat milk to the child, it must be boiled at a high temperature and then cooled down, which is a very time-consuming process.
So, after a month of confinement, my second sister-in-law not only didn't gain weight, but actually lost a lot of weight.
After the postpartum period, the baby started to eat more and more, and the second sister-in-law finally stopped causing trouble and chose to feed the children the formula that Zhao Qingyan provided.
Zhao Qingyan didn't say much about it. Everyone has their own way of handling things, and it's not good for her to say too much about a sister-in-law from another family.
