Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Zhang paused for a moment to calm herself down before continuing, "Ten taels of silver is enough to get you a wife in our village. How can you have the nerve to let your daughter give so much money to that place? You and Zhengpin almost died out there, and the people in the old house wanted to sell my sister Xia for money, and also wanted to send Zhengde away. If it weren't for our lucky luck, would you still be able to watch over us?"

Every time Zhang brought up these things, Li Sanlang would feel guilty and would not say a word. But today, he was particularly tough because of Mr. Li's birthday.

"Without my parents, where would I be? Where would Sister Xia be? Don't you know who my mother is? She is just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. She was confused for a moment. If she really sold Sister Xia out, would she be able to do such a thing? No one needs to tell me, and my father can't let me!"

This matter was a pain in Zhang's heart. She always felt that she was useless and had failed to protect her daughter and son. She originally thought that even if no one could understand what she was thinking, her man would definitely understand her, after all, the child was theirs.

But she didn't expect that Li Sanlang would say such words today. The stab of a loved one hurts the most.

Zhang felt that she was no longer in the mood to talk to him, so she took her pillow and quilt and went to Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong's room without even looking at Li Sanlang.

"Mother! Mother! What are you doing? Can't you just say what you want to say? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

Zhang ignored him, but she was not so cruel after all. Li Sanlang's legs could not move, and if he needed to go to the toilet at night, he would not be able to do so without help. So Zhang went to Li Zhengde's room and called Li Zhengpin, who was already asleep, to accompany Li Sanlang.

Li Mingxia slept very well. She was not worried at all and completely left the matter to Zhang to solve. The next day, she still went to the dock to set up her stall at the usual time.

Everything was going according to plan, except for the minor sensation caused by the deep-fried stinky tofu.

Li Mingxia knew that fried stinky tofu would be a best-seller, but she didn't expect it to be so popular.

"How come so many people like to eat such a smelly thing? What does it smell like?" Li Zhengpin looked at the few pieces of stinky tofu left on the plate. He was really curious, but he really couldn't eat it.

Li Zhengde was not polite. This fried stinky tofu was his and Zhang's favorite. The remaining pieces were specially left for him by his eldest sister. He was eating with relish while holding the plate.

"Brother, don't you also like spicy food? This fried stinky tofu is delicious, why don't you try it?" Li Zhengde said this while putting the last bite of stinky tofu into his mouth. Li Zhengpin looked at the plate with only a little chopped coriander and sauce left and shook his head, but he didn't know why, he inexplicably wanted to taste the stinky tofu.

At the dock manager's office, a middle-aged man in straight clothes sat in the seat where He Changan usually sat. In front of him was a plate of steaming stinky tofu, which he was eating bite by bite. He Changan, who was standing next to him, held his chopsticks and watched him eat one bite after another without any intention of stopping. Finally, he put down his chopsticks silently.

"The food this girl makes is really delicious!" After eating the last piece, County Magistrate Zhu let out a long sigh, "It would be even better if there was some wine. Chang'an, when did this girl come to the dock? The food she makes is so delicious, why didn't you buy some for me as a gift?"

He Changan had a smile on his face, "If I don't buy it for you, you won't be able to eat it? You come to the dock once a month, what can't you eat?"

County Magistrate Zhu blushed. He had no other hobbies except eating and drinking.

"But you are very lucky, County Magistrate. This is the first time Miss Li, the one making stinky tofu, has caught up with you."

After hearing this, the smile on County Magistrate Zhu's face suddenly brightened. He looked at the empty plate in front of him and recalled the news he had received a few days ago.

"There is a cooking competition in the capital city in half a month. Each jurisdiction will send two representatives. What do you think of Li Mingxia?"

He Changan frowned, somewhat puzzled, "Cooking competition? Why haven't I heard about it in previous years?"

Magistrate Zhu pointed a finger at the top and said mysteriously, "I heard that they are going to select a chef. I don't know if it's true or not. But no matter whether it's true or not, the first place winner will get a grand prize of 100 taels of silver, and three kinds of ingredients that we don't have here. I heard that they are all top-quality ingredients that ordinary people have never seen."

County Magistrate Zhu was not interested in the one hundred taels of silver, but he was really interested in these three top-quality ingredients.

"Is that all?" He Changan looked Magistrate Zhu up and down, his face full of disbelief.

If that was all, he wouldn't be so concerned. There must be something else.

Magistrate Zhu was not angry even though he was exposed. "I know I can't hide it from you. If the contestant sent out by the jurisdiction can win the first prize this time, he can also get something else. A jar of the oldest wine from the largest restaurant in the city, the Exiled Immortal Restaurant."

The wines in the Exiled Immortal Tower are very famous. The oldest ones are estimated to be one or two hundred years old. No wonder County Magistrate Zhu is so concerned about them.

He Changan nodded. If that was all, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that He Changan did not say anything against it, County Magistrate Zhu became even more excited. Although he was the county magistrate, He Changan had the final say on all matters and people on the dock. He could only do things after He Changan nodded, otherwise it would be difficult to accomplish anything.

"It seems that you are quite familiar with that Li Mingxia. Why don't you go and talk to her about this matter. Just tell me whether it is feasible or not. Although I am optimistic about him, I will never force him." County Magistrate Zhu remembered that when he went to buy stinky tofu just now, Li Mingxia seemed to have greeted He Changan. The two of them must have had private dealings, and their relationship was not just a polite one.

He Changan nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

Magistrate Zhu actually didn't have enough of the fried stinky tofu, but he had something to do the next day and couldn't come, so he asked He Chang'an to buy some more and send them to the yamen if Li Mingxia brought this food again tomorrow.

On this side, County Magistrate Zhu was giving He Changan many instructions, while on the other side, Li Mingxia was also surrounded by people.

"Boss, your fried stinky tofu tastes really good!"

"It's really delicious! It's spicy and numbing. I want a second bite after taking one!"

"It's just too little. I only bought a few pieces and they're gone. Boss, are you still going to make this fried stinky tofu tomorrow? Can't you bring some more? It's not enough!"
