Chapter 219 Be Your Dowry
The Shen family's current life depends on Shen Qingqian, otherwise all the men in their family would have to work as laborers in the mines.
What Wu hadn't mentioned earlier was that if the recipe had come from a man in the family, she would have kept it in the family, as the family hadn't split up. But Shen Qingqian was a woman, and this kind of recipe could be used as her dowry in the future, adding leverage to her marriage.
At the same time, Shen Qingqian told Liang what she had said to Wu.
"Your aunt is so understanding. We should appreciate her kindness," Liang said, and she took Shen Qingqian's hand and patted it. "But since there's not much to do, Zhe Ge'er and I won't get involved. Let's save this recipe for your dowry in the future!"
Shen Qingqian: "She is not yet of marriageable age, and now she is in such a position, it is still too early for her to get married.
But she thought again, no, in this era, many people get engaged at around thirteen, and even more so at fifteen or sixteen. So, wouldn't she soon be in a situation where she would be forced to get married?
Thinking of the marriages arranged by parents and matchmakers in this world, Shen Qingqian shuddered secretly. It’s better to say goodbye. Isn’t it better for her to just work hard in her career?
At this time, Shen Qingqian made up her mind that if she was urged to get married in the future, she would use the strategy of "delaying" and delay it for one or two years, and then another one or two years. After that, when she became an old maid, she would have even more reason not to get married.
Liang said a few more words and then went to bed.
But Shen Qingqian now has a fixed job before going to bed, which is to take out the things that can be reset and put them into the "safe", and then put them into the system warehouse the next morning.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that the system's classification function is really powerful. No matter how many of the same items are put in, they only take up one grid. So Shen Qingqian didn't worry at all that there would not be enough grids in the warehouse.
Before falling asleep that night, Shen Qingqian thought vaguely that she must not forget what she had just said to Wu about building a brick kiln.
Although Shen Qingqian was concerned about building the brick kiln, the weather was getting colder day by day, and the top priority was to get the cotton out.
The Shen family drank the holy spring water as usual, but this water could only passively repair the body when it was unwell, and its ability to resist cold was very limited. Adults could still hold on, but children could not.
Normally, cotton is planted in April and harvested in July and August. After hearing Shen Zhe sneeze all the time while sleeping at night, Shen Qingqian didn't care about that anymore.
The family was worried that Shen Qingqian would go to find the raw materials for making the seasonings by herself, but the farm work could not be done without the help of several strong laborers in the family. After some discussion, they finally decided to let Shen Qingxiao go with her.
Shen Qingqian was helpless. She really wanted to go alone! But she couldn't reject her family's kindness outright. She had no choice but to agree.
That morning, Wu and others went to the fields, Xiao Lin and Shen Qingman stayed at home to look after the three children. Shen Qingqian delivered medicine to Shan Mancheng, checked his condition, and then went out with Shen Qingxiao.
"Third sister, let's separate and look for them later. There should be quite a few of the rare flowers and ferns that I taught you to recognize before. It will be faster if we pick them together." Shen Qingqian discussed with Shen Qingxiao on the way.
Shen Qingxiao frowned slightly, "But my mother won't let us separate."
And she was also worried about her sixth sister going alone.
Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't be too far away. Nothing will happen within three meters."
