The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Xie Songlin laughed: "Do you still remember eating the emperor's food?"

"Of course I remember. I'm not kidding, Dad." Xie Wanxing said seriously, "You've been worried before, afraid that if those new things we come up with become popular, they'll make others wary of us. And you're also afraid that others will plot against us for their own temporary benefits. People's hearts are complicated, so we really need to be on guard."

She paused, then continued her analysis seriously, "So we have to plan ahead. We need to find someone to cling to, someone to lean on, right? Is there anyone in this world more reliable than the Emperor?"

"If we can use the opportunity of making these harvesters and new farm tools to exchange for a bowl of imperial food, then we will have the support of the court behind us, and we can do many things freely, such as improving the wheat and rice in the space fields to produce several times the yield per mu."

"And... corn and potato seeds. Dad, I have a feeling that Dajing will still be at war in the next few years." Xie Wanxing frowned. "I have a feeling that the Yongzhou Rebellion is just the beginning. I'm afraid there will be more turmoil in the future. But the people in Dajing today are not having an easy time. Many have starved to death."

"If we can use the imperial court to promote the cultivation of corn and potatoes, as well as the highly productive wheat and rice varieties, the lower-class people will have enough food to fill their stomachs, and the number of people dying of starvation will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, we can stockpile enough military rations for Dajing, ensuring the army has no worries."

Xie Songlin listened to his eldest daughter's thoughtful and far-sighted words and asked in shock, "Axing, have you thought this far?"

"Well, to be honest, Dad, I've been thinking about these things for a long time. You still remember how we ended up in this village, right? Didn't Grandpa Lin mention before that Prince Cheng Ling was often worried about military rations?" Xie Wanxing raised her head slightly, looking straight at Xie Songlin, and said in a sincere and resolute tone, "Perhaps I'm overestimating my own abilities by saying this. I not only want to live a peaceful life here with you and Mom, but I also want to do something for the people of this country."

"It's fate that we're here. Now that I'm here, I don't want to just live my life in mediocrity. When I think of the people at the bottom of Dajing who still don't have enough to eat, and so many who have been displaced by the war, I feel really bad. I want to contribute, even if it's just a little bit. As long as I do my best to make the lives of the people here better and make Dajing a better place, I'll be satisfied, and it will be worth our trip here."

Xie Songlin listened quietly to his daughter's words, feeling both shocked and moved. He looked at his usually sweet and adorable daughter, who now exuded a strong determination. He reached out and gently stroked Xie Wanxing's head, saying, "Axing, I'm really pleased and proud that you have such thoughts. You're right. Now that we've come here, we really can't just live our lives in a muddle."

Xie Wanxing's expression suddenly changed, and he chuckled, "The main reason is that I don't think you can get a good score on your own. You can only take a shortcut and get a job. It's easier to get things done with a job."

Xie Songlin: ...

The emotion and relief that had just surged in his heart from Xie Wanxing's words about his country and family disappeared in an instant.

Xie Songlin copied Xie Wanxing's recipe for Eucommia ulmoides glue and sealed it. He then solemnly handed it to Xie Dazhong, instructing him, "Dazhong, please run and deliver this letter to Mr. Zhao. This matter is extremely important, and you must hand it to Mr. Zhao personally."

Xie Dazhong took the letter, nodded vigorously, responded and hurried off. Now he was waiting for Mr. Zhao and his team to improve the harvester and write back to him.

They were not idle while waiting for the news. Lin Jian was really capable. He sold all 50 cakes the next day. This news shocked the whole village. Not only Lin Jian's cakes were sold out, but the cakes brought by other people who went with him were also sold out. Now many people could not sit still.

Lin Jian was also very happy. He earned a hundred coins in total, and this didn't seem to be the upper limit.

Many people who were waiting did not wait any longer and came over immediately. Not only the men in the village, but even the women who usually stayed around the stove and were busy with housework could not contain their excitement and put down their work and came over.

The number of orders increased dramatically, and Qiuyue, Qiuye and the others did not have much time to go to the old ancestral hall to attend classes. They could only bake cakes non-stop in the newly built workshop behind the yard. The fire in the stove never stopped, and batches of cakes were baked on the grill one after another.

Xie Songlin felt that he still needed more manpower, so he planned to pick a few useful people to learn how to make cakes together. After thinking about it, Xie Songlin had several candidates in mind, including Xie Feng's wife Lin, Xie Shou's wife Li Niang, and Cui'er.

Lin is a hardworking and honest person. He was quite satisfied with his work in the store before. Li Niang was even more grateful to them because Xie Ning saved Xie Zhang. As for Cui'er, the village chief's niece, there is no need to mention her.

These three people are relatively trustworthy, and there is no need to worry that they will leak the cake recipe. To put it bluntly, this cake recipe is just a basic one. Although it is considered a quite novel food in ancient times, it is much simpler than the various desserts in modern times.

Even if the recipe was accidentally leaked, Xie Songlin was not particularly worried that someone would steal his business in the future. After all, Cheng Hui's favorite thing to do in modern times was to study desserts, and there were many recipes that could be replicated from ancient times.

Compared with modern people, the ancient people had limited knowledge. Even if they got the cake recipe, it would still be difficult for them to make some new creations and surpass the modern desserts that have been carefully developed and improved in terms of taste and style.

Xie Songlin and the other three mentioned coming here to work with Qiuyue and the others. After hearing about the salary arrangement, they felt quite satisfied. After all, it was the best thing to find a job that could make money near home.

After agreeing on the wages, they were asked to learn how to bake cakes with Qiuyue and Qiuye.

In the following days, the wholesale cake business was in full swing and was developing extremely smoothly. Every day, the villagers who went to the town to sell cakes would return with satisfied smiles. The whole village was filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere because of this new way to make money.

Xie Songlin found that none of the disabled veterans came. There were also many young and middle-aged men among them who had to retire because of physical defects. He knew in his heart that these people did not come because they were probably worried about their physical condition.

After all, they have a disability and have many inconveniences in moving around. Even walking normally may become a problem, let alone taking cakes to sell them door to door in the town. Moreover, during the selling process, they have to stand for a long time, shout, and deal with customers. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for them with physical disabilities.

And they probably don't want to attract other people's attention because of their physical defects.
