Surprise! The prince is busy reading the princess' mind while raising a child!

When they arrived at the workshop, Dashan used the key to open the door of the third workshop with familiarity and slipped in.

It was pitch black inside. Ye Lingfeng opened the fire and looked around.

"Where is the recipe hidden?" Eleven pressed a sharp dagger against Dashan's lower back.

"No, no, no, I say!"

Dashan’s face turned pale!

He looked at the two of them, then stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the beam.

"Up there?"

"Yeah! It rained heavily a few nights ago, and I went to the roof to check if there was any leakage and found it."

"Which one exactly?"

Dashan blew out the fire and lowered his voice, "There's a hole dug in the middle of the third beam, covered with logs. Open the lid, and it's inside. You go up and look for it, I'll go on guard first, otherwise we'll be discovered."

Eleven stared at him fiercely: "You'd better be telling the truth, otherwise you and your whole family will die a miserable death!"

"Princess, don't worry! I wouldn't dare to do that!" Dashan's hands were shaking like the leaves of a fan.

"Shut your mouth. If you leak any information, your whole family will die!" Eleven's eyes shot out fierce glances.

Dashan quickly shut his mouth, left here quietly, and returned to the small hut where he was guarding the door. Seeing his companion still sleeping, he lowered his head and lay on the table.

After a cup of tea, Eleven and "Ye Lingfeng" found the recipe that someone had hidden on the beam of the house!

Very good!

The two looked at each other, opened the secret recipe, took a look at it, and then left the workshop excitedly.

After completing the mission, the two left Hejia Village overnight and hurried to the "Mountain Village Cottage" when it was almost dawn.

When they arrived at the door of "Mountain Village Cottage", Eleven took off her veil and Du Gaoxuan revealed his true face. The two pretended to be Shi Yi's cousin and cousin-in-law and found out the address of Sun Xiuxiu's home.

When they arrived at Sun Xiuxiu's house, it was just daybreak and every household was having breakfast, so they found Sun Xiuxiu easily.

"Is this Sun Xiuxiu's house?"

Eleven and Du Gaoxuan arrived at Sun Xiuxiu's house.

Sun Xiuxiu, who was eating breakfast, was stunned for a moment. When she looked towards the door, she was also stunned.

picture!

It’s so similar!

This woman looks 70% like my princess!

Xiuxiu's heart skipped a beat: No, I have to report this to the princess! This is too dangerous! If she pretends to be the princess, it will be hard to tell who she is to those who are not familiar with her!

Liu Zhe patted her hands and said softly, "Hold on, and see what she's going to do!"

Sun Xiuxiu nodded, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and walked to the door. Liu Zhe stood up as well.

"I'm Sun Xiuxiu, who are you?"

Sun Xiuxiu stared at Eleven's face with her clear and innocent eyes and asked cautiously.

Eleven smiled and stepped forward: "I am the cousin of your Princess Dingbei Shi Yi. My name is Eleven. She asked me to take the things from the warehouse."

Sun Xiuxiu's eyes flickered, and then she said affectionately, "I said that when I first saw you, I thought it was our princess. You two really look so much alike! If you said you were our princess, I would believe it!"

Eleven smiled in surprise: "Are they so similar?"

Sun Xiuxiu nodded: "Even the tone and intonation of their speech are very similar! Oh, by the way, did the princess say what she wanted to take away?"

"Oh, Shi Yi told me to go to the warehouse and take whatever I want!"

"Oh, does the princess have anything else for you to bring to me?"

"That's it! She was injured these past two days, so she asked me and my husband to come here. Don't worry, not many people look this similar!"

Sun Xiuxiu thought for a moment and said, "That's right! Let's go. I'll take you to the warehouse now! Husband, pack up your dishes and come find me in the warehouse!"

"Okay! You go first, I'll come after I finish cleaning up." Liu Zhe said in the house.

Afterwards, Sun Xiuxiu took them to a warehouse. Sun Xiuxiu opened the door and the three of them walked in together.

There are many small stacks of grain in the big warehouse.

Sun Xiuxiu said, "This is it. The harvests in the past two years have been pretty good. All the food is here. Do you want to take all the food away? How many carts will it take?"

Eleven and Du Gaoxuan looked at each other and then asked, "My cousin said that she planted hundreds of acres of peppers. Is there any in the warehouse? She asked me to bring some back."

"Okay! I'll take you there!"

Sun Xiuxiu led Eleven and Du Gaoxuan through the shadows and light of the warehouse, walking briskly towards the corner where special crops were stored.

"Here it is," Sun Xiuxiu stopped and pointed to a pile of small hills carefully covered with oilcloth in front of her and said, "These are the peppers planted by the princess herself. They are growing particularly well this year, and they are bright red, which makes people greedy just by looking at them." As she spoke, she deftly lifted a corner of the oilcloth, revealing the neatly arranged, brightly colored strings of peppers underneath, like strings of fiery red lanterns, which looked even more tempting under the dim light.

Seeing this, Eleven's eyes flashed with cunning. She pretended to be excited and approached the peppers, reaching out to gently touch the bright red fruits, as if she was appreciating a precious work of art. "Oh, these peppers are growing so well, my cousin will be very happy to see them. We have to bring more back, and it would be best if we could fill a few large cars!" She turned to look at Du Gaoxuan, her eyes full of expectation, "What do you think, husband?"

Du Gaoxuan understood and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, such a fine product should be as much as possible. However, we also have to consider how to properly transport it. These peppers are precious and cannot be damaged on the road."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiuxiu's face was filled with a simple smile, and she quickly responded: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to help you pick the plumpest peppers, and then pack them carefully to ensure that they will not be damaged on the way. You can rest here for a while, and I will call a few people to help."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but then she seemed to remember something and turned back to remind him, "By the way, these peppers are the princess's favorite. You have to be careful not to damage them."

Eleven and Du Gaoxuan smiled at each other, with a cunning gleam in their eyes.

After Sun Xiuxiu left, Du Gaoxuan whispered to Eleven, "It seems that our plan is going well. These peppers are enough for us to take back to the capital and make the first batch of chili sauce."

Eleven smiled and nodded.

Sun Xiuxiu left in a hurry, and soon returned with a group of villagers, holding bamboo baskets and hemp ropes, their faces filled with joy for the harvest.

The sunlight shines through the cracks in the warehouse, casting mottled light and shadows on everyone's busy figures. Eleven and Du Gaoxuan are "supervising" on the side, but in fact they are secretly observing everything.

"Please handle these peppers with care. These peppers are the princess's hard work." Sun Xiuxiu reminded the villagers while guiding them to pick the peppers.

The villagers carefully picked the plump fruits from the bunches of peppers, fearing that they would be damaged in the slightest. The air was filled with the unique spicy aroma of peppers, which blended with the aroma of rice and smelled particularly good.

As Sun Xiuxiu and the villagers were busy, a small mountain of peppers gradually piled up in the warehouse.

Soon, Sun Xiuxiu came over with two old gentlemen who looked like accountants.

"Cousin, these peppers can fill up five carts. Do you think it's enough?" Sun Xiuxiu smiled politely.

"Well, this is all for now. I'll give you more next time." Eleven was very happy.

"Okay, cousin, I'll have someone weigh it, and you and your cousin-in-law should prepare the silver!"

Eleven's face suddenly changed: "Sun Xiuxiu, what do you mean? I'm here to pack peppers for my cousin, and I have to pay?!"
