Qiao Er: "Yes, yes, yes, I must run."

Qiao Chao kept staring at the grape vine. It was only as long as his palm when he first brought it back, but now it was about five feet long? How could it grow so fast?

Zhen Yue saw him looking at the grape vines and said, "Go get me a long stick." She was going to slowly start building the grape rack.

"Oh." Qiao Chao was puzzled and went to the firewood in the corner to find a long stick, "Is this okay?"

Zhen Yue: "It's a little short, get a longer one."

Qiao Chao found another longer one and waited until Zhen Yue was satisfied before taking it.

The days that followed were pretty good. Zhen Yue went to check on the vegetable garden behind the house every day. The tomatoes and peppers had already bloomed. At this rate, they would probably bear fruit in two days.

Her supernatural powers have not recovered well enough, otherwise, at her peak, the tomatoes and peppers should be edible now.

Qiao Chao once again hunted prey from the mountains, a musk deer. This time he was also planning to sell it to the Song family, the same family where he had sold the fawn in the county before.

"Wait a minute, you can give this as a gift." Zhen Yue pulled out two radishes, washed them and handed them to Qiao Chao.

Qiao Chao looked at the big and juicy radish and asked, "Why is it so big?"

“Yeah, why is this radish so big?” It looked like it was delicious, so Mrs. Qiao Chen also came over.

Zhen Yue: "This is what I tried to grow. We can try eating it tonight."

Qiao Chenshi: "How do you grow it?"

Zhen Yue: "Don't let anyone else know this, mother. I'm afraid that if you don't keep your mouth shut, other people will know about it, just like when the cart was taken away by Mrs. Zhou, so I'd better not tell you."

Mrs. Qiao Chen felt a little embarrassed. She was indeed responsible for the cart being taken away by Mrs. Zhou, which made her feel shorter than Zhen Yue.

Although she knew that she was the mother-in-law and Zhen Yue would probably listen to her as long as she pressured her with the word "filial piety", she was afraid that Zhen Yue would make a fuss, so she could only keep silent.

Qiao Chao didn't expect Zhen Yue to be able to grow such big radishes, which were bigger than his arms. He had previously thought that she was just casually growing vegetables. It seemed that in his memory, Zhen rarely went to the fields to do farm work. He didn't expect her to be so good at it.

"Okay, I'll take it with me as a gift." As soon as Qiao Chao thought about this gift, he knew what Zhen Yue wanted to do. If the people in the Song family eat their radishes and find them delicious, will they buy their radishes in the future?

Qiao Chao was right. That was what Zhen Yue was planning. However, if there was no movement from the Song Mansion, then she could just sell the vegetables to other people. Anyway, Zhen Yue didn’t think her vegetables would not be sold.

It might not be possible to sell them in the village, but they can definitely be sold in town. The vegetables she grows taste many times better than before, and not only that, they are also twice as nutritious.

All in all, delicious and healthy.

"Brother Tiesheng, these two radishes were grown by my wife. They are not valuable, so I'm giving them to your master as a gift. Thank you for your care these days." Qiao Chao would send good prey here every time he had it. He had become familiar with this servant at the back door of the Song Mansion.

The servant's name was Song Tiesheng, and he was a servant of the Song family.

"Okay, here's your money, take it."

"Ok."

This time, he earned more than three taels of musk deer from the market, but Qiao Chao still felt it was not enough. He didn't go into the mountains every day, and his family had been spending a lot recently. He didn't know if it was because they ate much better before. Although they didn't have meat to eat every day these days, everyone was able to eat their fill.

If I rely on hunting to earn silver in the future, I don’t know when I can save more silver.

Although he became a farmer, Qiao Chao never compromised in his heart. He felt that he could not be a farmer all his life, otherwise he would feel sorry for the great scholars who taught him in his previous life.

Qiao Chao wanted to take the imperial examination to change his family's status, but he was illiterate. He had been hanging around Qiao San's room these days, occasionally asking him to teach him a few words, thinking that he would be able to make more money in the future and maybe find a reason to study.

However, during these days when he came to the county town, he also inquired about the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The situation was not good. Not to mention that there seemed to be no one who had suffered from the disaster, the lives of ordinary people were definitely not easy.

The taxes were also quite heavy. In addition to the land tax, there were other taxes, such as the head tax, and if doing business, there were also commercial taxes, etc.

As for what the current emperor looks like, Qiao Chao has not found out yet, but the most important thing at the moment is to make more money, and the imperial examination can be discussed later.

That night, a dish of stewed radish appeared on the dinner table of the Song family. Song Liu, the head wife of the Song family, ate a piece and found it very sweet. She picked up another piece for her husband and said, "Husband, try this. It is very sweet and delicious."

After eating too much meat and fish, it feels delicious to eat something different.

"Thank you, ma'am." Song Shenglin, the head of the Song family, took a bite and thought it was very good, so he picked up another piece.

At the end of the meal, the braised radish on the table was all eaten, but some of the other dishes were left.

The Qiao family also ate radishes in the evening. One big radish was enough, but they had meat fried with shredded radish. There was only a little meat and a lot of radishes, but the whole pot was eaten up.

"This radish is so delicious."

"It seems even sweeter than before."

"My sister-in-law is really amazing. The radishes she grows are so good."

Zhen Yue was very pleased to hear everyone's praise. Humph, of course the radishes she made with her supernatural powers were delicious.

In fact, the radish was not planted by her at all. It was already planted, but she gained some special powers and mutated it into this way.

The next day, when eating lunch at the Song residence, Mrs. Song's son Song Yanting said that the radish from last night was delicious, and Song Shenglin nodded, "It was good."

Mrs. Song: "Then I'll ask the kitchen to do it tonight."

"Uh-huh."

However, the stewed radish made in the evening did not taste the same at all. Mrs. Song thought that the kitchen staff was not doing their best and immediately called them over, "What's wrong with this radish? Why doesn't it taste as good as yesterday?"

The chef of the Song Mansion actually found it a little strange at first, but then he thought about it and realized that it might have originated from the radish.

"Then go buy the radishes from yesterday?" She didn't know what could be different about a radish.

The purchasing department immediately said, "We have always cooperated with those companies, and there has been no change."

Mrs. Song: "What about the radish yesterday?"

After some investigation, I found out that the radish I got yesterday was a gift from a hunter when I bought his musk deer.

Mrs. Song: “Forget it.” It’s just a carrot.

However, half a month later, when Qiao Chao delivered the prey, he also sent two radishes. That day, the kitchen went to ask Mrs. Song if she wanted to cook these radishes.

Madam Song thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make it. When it's done, send it to the master and the eldest young master, and I'll send one bowl over as well."

"Yes."
