As darkness fell, the two stopped to rest. They hung a light bulb on a tree, and Xia Hua took out a generator, followed by two rice cookers. She asked An Shuyi to buy four kilograms of rice, which they then washed and cooked in the rice cookers.
An Shuyi also lit a fire on the side, took out some tiger meat from the warehouse, marinated the vegetables, skewered them, and put them on the fire to roast. When the rice was cooked and the meat was roasted, she scooped out two bowls of rice, put the rest of the rice and the rice cooker into the warehouse, took out a bowl of Mapo Tofu, added the roasted meat and roasted vegetables, and ate.
As An Shuyi ate her meal, she muttered, "It's so great to have a shopping mall; you can eat out even when you're not there." It has to be said, Hua Hua's shopping mall is truly amazing; it has all kinds of appliances and even a generator—it's practically a walking treasure trove.
Xia Hua nodded, "That's great. Our things complement each other. If I don't have something here, you'll have it there, and if you don't have something there, I'll have it here. We can't do without either of us." As she spoke, she put a piece of meat on Shu Shu's plate.
“I’ll get it for myself, you should eat more too, you must be tired from walking all day,” An Shuyi also put a piece on her plate. “Huahua, what do you think the female lead’s planting space is like? Is it really that magical?”
In the novel, the female protagonist's space allows her to grow anything, and everything matures quickly, which explains why she was able to build up her business in such a short time.
"I don't know if it's magical or not, but it's definitely not very big inside. I've read about it in novels. The female protagonist's planting space is good and takes a long time to mature, but it's not big. I remember there was a sentence that said that."
"The plants are very small. In order to grow more crops, Song Qingyou planted crops along the edges of the space. You can tell from this that the space is very small!"
After listening to her finish speaking, An Shuyi said, "So it seems that the female lead has a good planting space, but the area is not enough. Does that mean she only grows crops and nothing else?"
“Definitely!” Xia Hua said, “In the early stages, the female lead, Song Qingyou, planted grains and vegetables. She only started planting medicinal herbs later because she knew the male lead needed them.”
Actually, it's just that the female lead is foolish. If she had planted medicinal herbs earlier, even just a little bit, the price would have been higher than that of grain, and she could have started her business much sooner. It was only later, when the male lead needed them, that she started planting medicinal herbs in the space, and she missed all the opportunities.
"It seems that although the female lead is intelligent and cunning, she is also a bit love-struck."
Xia Hua denied it, "Shushu, don't underestimate this Song Qingyou. In her first life, she didn't have anyone's help, but she was able to become a concubine of a wealthy family and survive all the way to the capital. In addition, she was aborted and sold to a brothel. She didn't forget those experiences, even though they were hard to live."
"After her rebirth, the first thing she did upon arriving in the capital was to burn down the brothel. Those who had bullied her were also retaliated against after she became the Crown Princess. Even her grandmother's family, who had survived the drought and fled all the way to the capital, were discovered by her, and she had them beaten to death with sticks."
"Such a woman is not only ruthless, but also very patient. She is not the Crown Princess yet, so even if she wants to harm someone, she will do so in secret. Once she becomes the Crown Princess, she will openly admit it."
Actually, she quite admired the female lead, otherwise she wouldn't have read that novel. Of course, besides the female lead, there are also female supporting characters and villains in this world. The son of the Right Prime Minister of Chen Kingdom is the main villain in this world, while the daughter of the Left Prime Minister is the female supporting character in this world.
The brothel that was burned down by the female lead belonged to the villain Ye Yihuan, and the reason why the Right Chancellor was able to support the Crown Prince was not for anything else, but because he himself wanted to become the emperor.
The female supporting character, Xie Shiyi, has a particularly poetic name, but she is actually quite cute, unlike the glamorous and vicious female supporting characters. However, cuteness does not mean she is not ruthless. She has an adorable face that always makes people like her, but she is more venomous than a snake.
She was originally the emperor's chosen concubine for the crown prince, while Ye Weier, the daughter of the Right Chancellor, was to be the crown prince's wife. However, Xie Shiyi was unwilling to accept this and pushed Ye Weier into the pond at a flower festival. As she expected, Ye Weier was rescued and her reputation was ruined. In the end, she still did not become the crown prince's wife because she was outmaneuvered by the female lead, Song Qingyou.
What follows is the fierce battle between the female lead and the supporting female character for the male lead. Undoubtedly, the female lead is more powerful. The supporting female character is drugged, humiliated in public, and dies on the spot after hitting her head against a wall. All of this demonstrates the prowess of the female lead, Song Qingyou.
An Shuyi laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful Song Qingyou is, we don't take her tricks seriously. In the face of violence, all scheming is futile."
If that little brat Song Qingyou dares to frame her, she'll climb into her bed tonight and slit her throat.
Seeing her like this, Xia Hua smiled and said, "You're right. She's all alone. Although she's a bit cunning, she's weak and helpless. Killing her would be an easy thing. Let's not talk about the female lead. Let's eat and sleep. We'll get up early tomorrow and continue looking for flowers and plants."
The most important thing is to first raise 200,000 silver coins. As for the female lead, let her cause trouble. Once she's caused enough trouble, then we'll deal with her.
“Okay, you eat quickly too,” An Shuyi replied.
After finishing their meal, Xia Hua took out the tent, set it up, and sprinkled a ring of insect repellent powder around it. This was prepared by Dr. Liu, along with sulfur. As long as the small insects stayed away, they could handle the other animals.
After setting up the tent and washing up, they went inside to sleep. The tent was already laid out with blankets, all of which An Shuyi had bought from the trading system. After going in, Xia Hua took out a duvet cover from the warehouse and put it on the blanket.
These were made by the girls in the workshop. She often slept at Shushu's place, and she kept two sets of quilt covers in the warehouse. Although the quilt was new, it was better to have the quilt covers on.
"Huahua, you go to sleep first. I'll sell everything I found today before I sleep."
"Okay, go to sleep after you've sold everything!" Xia Hua said, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.
An Shuyi opened the trading system, looked at the items in the warehouse, and sold everything at once: the tea tree, the golden nanmu saplings, and the poisonous herbs she found later. She sold them for a total of 6,200 taels of silver.
Then she nodded again at the shopping section. This time, the number of items she could buy had increased to ten. Although the quantity was wrong, she had gotten used to the abnormality of the trading system. All ten items were dessert recipes. Although she didn't understand why they were there, it was better than nothing.
But after she finished reading, she realized that the dessert recipes were also very good: yam and cherry blossom cake, hollow mochi, matcha towel roll, Oreo milk ice cream, strawberry cake, cherry blossom milk balls, red date glutinous rice cake, glutinous rice jelly, sesame balls, and salted egg yolk milk crisp.
This isn't a snack, this is happiness! These kinds of snacks aren't sold in the fancy shopping malls; people only eat bread and biscuits. Now that we have these snack recipes, we can ask the women in the village to make them when we go back.
