Chapter 461 Are you sure?
"As for Shopkeeper Cheng, Brother Wencheng, don't say anything. Just say you don't know. Shopkeeper Cheng and I have some business dealings. If you say that, it's not appropriate. It could easily lead to misunderstandings..."
"I see."
Zhuang Wencheng understood the significance of what Zhuang Qingning was talking about, and this matter was caused by him. Since Zhuang Qingning had helped him, he naturally couldn't make things difficult for Zhuang Qingning. He nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Seeing Zhuang Wencheng agree, Zhuang Qingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The so-called butterfly effect refers to this situation.
She just told a lie to complete a task. Even if the lie was not malicious, she now has to keep filling the loopholes and telling a lot of lies.
I really hope that in the future there will be fewer tasks like this, where the tasks are too unreasonable.
[Host, are you sure it would be better to have fewer tasks like this? ]
In my mind, a certain voice sounded faintly.
Zhuang Qingning was suddenly startled.
Yes, although this task is a bit complicated and requires lies to be told everywhere, the soap-making recipe given is very real and it is something Zhuang Qingning has been thinking about for a long time.
If there were fewer of these tasks, it would mean that those recipes and the like would have to say goodbye to her.
This means that paying off the negative hard work value is a long way off...
The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the prescription cannot be thrown away.
I was just grumbling a little bit just now, please don't take it seriously...
[Because the system is dedicated to serving the host, the system will arrange the next task according to the host's preferences and ideas, so the host should think twice before speaking. ]
Why do I feel a strong sense of threat from a certain Five?
Whatever, whatever. A tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog. But I am not strong enough now, so that is all.
Just wait until she is fully grown and has a lot of hard work value. By then, things will change over time. Don't look down on the young and poor!
Zhuang Qingning made up his mind angrily.
After staying in the county government office for a while and talking with Zhuang Wencheng for a while, Zhuang Qingning felt relieved to see that he was fine and did not think too much about the matter.
At noon, he walked towards Zhuang Yutian's house and had lunch at home. In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, he walked home with Wen.
Zhuang Yutian drove a car to take them both away.
Compared with Zhuang Yutian's silence at the beginning, Wen started to talk now.
Since I got on the carriage and started walking home, I have been talking almost non-stop, from the anecdotes I heard, to the accidental crack in the cup at home, to the choking at dinner yesterday and the coughing for a long time...
In short, at this moment, Wen was like a little bird just out of a cage, chirping and unable to stop.
Zhuang Qingning thought it was very interesting that the arrogant old lady who had turned into a chatterbox was very interesting. While acting as a patient and loyal listener, she would occasionally say a few words, which made Mrs. Wen even more excited. She talked like a flood and could not stop.
It seems that living in the county town for a few days really made Wen feel depressed.
Zhuang Yutian was driving the carriage in front and couldn't help but smack his lips in admiration.
It seems that my filial piety cannot be achieved by just being filial to myself. The most important thing is to be filial to Wenshi's heart.
Zhuang Yutian no longer felt depressed because Wen was going back. The gloom on his face disappeared and he swung the whip in his hand.
Wen didn't stop talking until they got home.
When in the car, the listener was Zhuang Qingning, but when at home, the listener became Han.
As for Han, Wen had been away from home for so long and she missed her little sister very much, so she held her hand and refused to let go. The two sisters went into the house hand in hand to talk, leaving Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Qingning to move things from the carriage to the bottom.
Clothes and quilts, cakes and vegetables, pickled vegetables and meats...
There are all kinds of things.
After everything was packed up, Zhuang Qingning went home, washed his hands, changed his clothes, took out the spices he had bought from Chengji Spice Shop a few days ago, and began to prepare the Banyuexiang according to the recipe.
Making incense is an extremely unfamiliar thing for Zhuang Qingning.
Fumigation, grinding, frying...
Different ingredients must be processed separately in order to achieve the best effect when mixed together.
However, this seemingly simple step requires strict control of the amount, duration, and technique during the production process. Because of this, even with a very detailed recipe, Zhuang Qingning performed each step at least three times, and some even six or seven times.
Moreover, because of some distractions during the incense making process, which increased the failure rate, Zhuang Qingning once wanted to give up this moon-companion incense...
Fortunately, poverty made her persevere! After a few days, Zhuang Qingning's dark circles became heavier.
And the Ban Yue Xiang has finally been made in theory. What remains is to see whether the taste is as wonderful as the recipe says.
Burn some moon-companion in the incense burner, let the incense rise from the burner, and the refreshing fragrance will gradually spread throughout the courtyard.
The fragrance is long-lasting, but it is not a straightforward fragrance. Instead, it brings with it a kind of elegant and ethereal charm, like the hazy moonlight, making people feel ethereal and dreamy, yet elegant and refined.
It is exactly as described, the kind of elegant fragrance preferred by men of letters and scholars.
"Wow, it smells good." Zhuang Qingsui sniffed again and again and exclaimed, "It smells better than the scent of flowers."
“This fragrance…”
Zhuang Qingsui tilted his head and said, "It smells a bit like the moon."
"You have a clever little brain. This fragrance is called the Moon-Ban Fragrance." Zhuang Qingning tapped her forehead. "But, what does your moon smell like? Does the moon have a smell?"
"I can't explain it, but I just think this fragrance reminds me of the moon." Zhuang Qingsui chuckled, "This fragrance is really nice. Let Jinzhou smell it tomorrow and see what he says."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning smiled and touched Zhuang Qingsui's little head lovingly. "I've been busy these days and haven't had time to ask you about your homework. How have you been doing these days?"
"Mr. Fan said that I have made great progress, and that I will have no problem passing the entrance exam to the Girls' College in the spring of next year." Zhuang Qingsui raised her little face, full of confidence.
"Then sister will wait for your good news." Zhuang Qingning smiled.
The two sisters were chatting and laughing here when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
The two people looked at each other.
"It's so late, and I don't know who it is. I'll go take a look." Zhuang Qingning stood up, holding a lantern and walked to the gate of the yard.
