Chapter 57: Identity that cannot be revealed
Su Qianqian got up very late the next day. Farm work was really hard work. Even if she just dug a hole, bury the cut potato tubers in it and watered it, she was so tired that her back and waist ached. She decided to make good use of these potatoes, otherwise she would be sorry for herself.
She took some peppers from the space and gave them to Su Xing, asking her to take them to the small kitchen. She could use them to stir-fry anything, at least she could taste the spiciness. As for spicy duck necks and the like, those were high-tech products waiting to be developed. For her, a kitchen killer, they were an insurmountable problem.
In order to find a reason for her vegetables to appear, Su Qianqian has had someone seal off an area in the backyard that only she can enter. So every time she comes out from there, it means that the magical vegetables she grows can meet the general public.
The same thing goes for the chili this time.
While waiting for her delicious food, Su Qianqian discovered a problem. She hadn't heard any sound from the system since last night. Could it be that she ate too much melon and her merit power leveled down?
This work attitude is not desirable. She still wants to save up 100 million merits and 50 million melon beans to go home!
[System, small system?] 】Su Qianqian shouted loudly in her heart.
[What are you doing...] The baby said in a low and aggrieved voice, very reluctantly.
【What’s wrong with you? I called you last night but you didn’t say anything. Where were you? You haven't upgraded your human form yet, so don't fall in love too soon! 】
Su Qianqian warned that falling in love is not scary, but falling in love is really scary.
[Why are you looking for me now that you have a new love?] From now on, you will just spoil it and not care about my life or death...】The baby voice of the system is very sad.
[Where did my new love come from...wait, are you talking about that disabled puppy Dianfeng? What a joke, you are my partner and it is a little loser who eats and drinks for free, how can we be the same? 】
Su Qianqian sneered at the system's lack of confidence in its positioning.
[It’s not a disabled puppy, it’s… Zizi…]
The harsh sound of electricity made Su Qianqian completely unable to hear what the system said. After about five minutes, the system made a weak sound:
[I have signed a confidentiality agreement. If I reveal my identity or secret rules, I will be banned from speaking. That’s why I can guarantee that our identities will not be revealed in this space, and the same goes for you. 】
[A disabled dog given away as a gift at an event, what kind of status can it have? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. This way you can enslave others without any burden. 】Su Qianqian didn't care.
After washing and dressing up, Su Xing came in with a lunch box, coughing and crying. He stretched his hand far away to open the lunch box, and the smell of chili pepper filled the whole room in an instant.
[Hey, that’s delicious!] Su Qianqian quickly moved to the dining table. When she saw the plate full of green food with a few diced lotus roots in the middle, she was about to collapse!
She doesn't eat chili peppers! She only eats the taste of chili peppers! After eating this plate of chili, she would ascend to heaven!
Trying to calm down, he told Su Xing, "This kind of vegetable is the best for flavoring. Don't eat too much. Of course, people who like it can also eat it. Ask the cook to take only a few slices of it and stir-fry some lotus root slices or mushrooms."
Su Xing wiped away her tears and said, "Madam, we can't go into the small kitchen now. The cook has been crying and can't open her eyes. If you want to redo it, I'll take it to the big kitchen."
Su Qianqian sighed, "Okay." Just as she was about to go back to the inner room, she suddenly remembered something, "Wait, ask the kitchen not to redo it. Just add one slice to other dishes during lunch. The taste is very special."
Su Xing agreed, packed the lunch box and went out.
She almost forgot that the soil and water would enhance the quality of the plant, this pepper must be very spicy! Su Qianqian patted her chest quietly, preparing to give some eye drops to the cook in the small kitchen...
After eating a few snacks, Su Qianqian went to the meeting room to listen to the managers' reports. She took the cards and collected the silver for the items needed by each courtyard. Then she walked towards Fushou Hall while listening to Qin Fu's talk about checking the shop.
"Among the dozen or so shops, three were sold due to lawsuits and there were too many disputes afterwards. The other two were located in very remote areas and might be used as workshops, or the goods they sold were rare and new.
Except for three shops that are raising their prices arbitrarily, the rest are considered to have reasonable prices, so I have decided on these five shops and ask the Third Young Master’s wife to check them. ”
Qin Fu took out the deed for the deposit, and Su Qianqian nodded and let Su Mu take it: "Those two remote shops have lowered the price severely, help me to settle it, this matter has nothing to do with the previous shop, and I will ask Su Mu to pay the money later."
Qin Fu looked up at Su Qianqian and immediately bowed to agree. This was Su Qianqian's expression of trust in Qin Fu. The private money used to buy the shop belonged to Su Qianqian herself and had nothing to do with the public.
When they were almost at Fushou Hall, Su Qianqian remembered that Qin Yuzhuo did not come to the meeting room to "study" with her today. Usually, she stuck to her like a plaster, but it seemed that she had not seen Zhou Jingnan since the Qiqiao Festival.
After entering the courtyard of Fushou Hall and walking into Madam Qin's flower hall, I heard Qin Yuzhuo's excited voice: "...They all came to ask about tomatoes. They said they wanted to buy some for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. They don't care how much money they pay!"
Su Qianqian smiled and walked in. Seeing that several ladies and young ladies were there, she first paid her respects to the old lady in a polite manner, and then greeted all the ladies.
Qin Yuzhuo couldn't wait any longer, so he came over and pulled Su Qianqian to sit down, saying that six young ladies would come to her house to play with her today. After going around in circles, they finally settled on tomatoes.
One of them was the sixth daughter of Duke Xuan’s mansion. She somehow heard about it and came along as well. She even brought out her sister-in-law’s name card, saying that they were all relatives, so how could they not tell others about such a good thing.
[This Sixth Miss is lazy and greedy. She relies on being the legitimate daughter and being doted on by Madam Zhu. She does nothing but eat and sleep every day. The reason why she is not as fat as a pig is because she is lazier than a pig. She is too lazy to get up to eat. However, once she gets up, she eats more than a pig, but is more picky about food than a pig.
She knew about tomatoes because she wanted to eat something new and delicious. She gave benefits to the greedy young ladies from each family and asked them to tell her if they had anything delicious. Among the girls that the third young lady met that day, there was one who received a benefit. 】
Although the system sounded a little lonely, it still ate the melon diligently.
"But I followed my sister-in-law's advice. That thing is rare and you can't buy it just because you want to. If I have any news, I will go to their house to let them know."
Qin Yuzhuo continued speaking while smiling.
"Tell me, which families are these ladies from?" Su Qianqian turned around and asked.
After listening to Qin Yuzhuo's explanation, Su Qianqian turned around and asked Madam Qin, "In your opinion, which of these families should we make friends with secretly, and which can we have dealings with openly?"
Madam Qin waved her hands and lowered her voice, "Qianqian, the Qin family never frowned when they fought bloody battles. They followed the teachings of their ancestors and did not get involved in royal disputes. They did not have close contacts with important officials in the court. They were loyal and dedicated to serving the emperor. They claimed to be innocent and never took credit for themselves. Do you think you can rest easy just because of this? You are so foolish!"
Su Qianqian looked at Old Madam Qin in surprise. How come she suddenly awakened?
