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

Xie Wanxing really needed to think of a solution to this problem, but it would have to be delayed for another day because she had another important thing to do, which was that Mrs. Lu would be returning to the capital tomorrow.

She planned to prepare some gifts for Mrs. Lu, so she squatted in the space and rummaged through it for a long time. She thought of the fruits she planted in the black soil outside the villa. She placed a small notebook outside and recorded the growth of the fruits when she entered and exited the space every day.

After recording and observing for a period of time, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the growth rate of the saplings here was about three times that of the outside. She had planted many varieties of fruits outside before, and now many of them have borne fruit. Unfortunately, she had no excuse to take them outside, so she could only hide in the space with her parents and eat them secretly.

The fruits grown in the space were of exceptional quality; they were large, plump, and exceptionally sweet. Xie Wanxing wanted to bring some fresh fruit to Mrs. Lu, but since she couldn't give her fruits that she hadn't seen before, she chose some common fruits like apples and pears, each of which was large and round.

She and Mrs. Lu found out that Mr. Lu was also a tea lover, so she prepared a cake of high-quality Pu'er tea for him, and packed some small cookies and cakes made by Cheng Hui. She felt that this gift was enough.

Xie Wanxing put all the things in the space and asked Xie Songlin to take her there the next day so that she could take the things out of the space when she went out. When she arrived, Lu Zhou was also there. He had taken half a day off from the academy to see his mother off.

Madam Lu sat in the yard while servants busily loaded things into the carriage. Xie Wanxing took the things over and Madam took them and put them in the carriage they were going to ride in. Madam Lu patted her head and smiled, "Thank you, Xingxing."

They sat for a while and almost finished packing their things. The distance from Qingshui Town to the capital was quite long, and Mrs. Lu had to hurry on her way, so she had to leave early.

Mrs. Lu touched Lu Zhou's face with reluctance, tears welling in her eyes. She said softly, "Remember to eat more. If you don't have enough money, remember to write to let me know."

Lu Zhou nodded in agreement and replied with a smile: "I now go to the cafeteria of Ah Xing's house to eat. The food is very good. Don't worry, mother. I have enough money."

Mrs. Lu turned her head and glanced at Xie Wanxing again: "Xingxing, Auntie is gone. Your brother will come home during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I will send your brother back to school and then come to see you."

Xie Wanxing nodded obediently: "Okay, Aunt Lu, please be careful on the road."

After getting in the car and setting off, the nanny took out the basket and lifted the gauze covering it, revealing large, round fruits. The fruits were bright in color, plump and attractive, and exuded a faint fruity fragrance. The nanny couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Ms. Xie's fruit is well grown. I think it's better than what we grow back home."

Mrs. Lu looked at the large, round fruits in the basket and was delighted. "The Xie family is indeed quite ingenious. The fruits are so beautiful, and the cakes are so exquisitely made. I've tried quite a few cakes, but the Xie family's cakes have a unique flavor. People in the capital are very particular about food and drink. If this cake were to be sold in the capital, it would definitely be a big business."

The nanny echoed, "Madam, you are absolutely right. The Xie family's things are indeed unique. The young lady is also a very smart person."

"The people I sent out to investigate earlier reported that some students often saw Mr. Zhao Wenli eating at their shop. I heard that Mr. Zhao is..."

Before Madam Lu could finish her words, the nanny quickly interrupted her. A nervous expression appeared on her face as she said anxiously, "Madam! You can't say that!"

The mother of this nanny came from the palace. In the deep inner court of the palace, the rules were strict and the etiquette was complicated. Therefore, she taught the nanny to understand the rules and be more sensible than the servants of ordinary families. In the capital, where the powerful and wealthy gather, the princes, nobles, and high-ranking officials are the real centers of power. In comparison, even though the Lu family is wealthy, they are slightly inferior in status and are not very prestigious.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu always took this nanny with her wherever she went, so that she could remind her of some rules from time to time to avoid making mistakes inadvertently.

Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned, then reacted and said, "I spoke out of turn. I will just pretend I didn't know about it when I return to the capital." She glanced at the nanny and secretly felt fortunate to have such a cautious and well-mannered person by her side.

The nanny's face was filled with seriousness and worry. She said earnestly, "It's good that Madam understands. Even if you know some things, you should forget them after hearing them. If they come out of your mouth, it will be different. It may bring disaster to the family."

"Madam, I understand." Madam Lu nodded and added, "But they must have something extraordinary to win Mr. Zhao's favor."

The nanny also agreed, "That Mr. Xie may not be much compared to ours right now, but he's only been running this business for a little over two months, so the speed at which he's accumulating wealth shouldn't be underestimated. We might see him in the capital in the future. Furthermore, I've noticed that although Miss Xie's words are a bit childish, she has a clear gaze and is a smart person. With her talent and character, and her father being a skilled businessman, she's sure to be something special in the future. She also has several brothers who are currently studying, so there's no guarantee one of them won't take the imperial examination in the future."

"So, Madam, do you think we can become friends?"

"Of course, there are many benefits to making friends, and I think Madam also likes Miss Xie."

After all, the Lu family is a wealthy family, and it is impossible for them to interact with others without any scheming. Although Mrs. Lu likes Xie Wanxing, she still found out everything about her family.

Xie Wanxing certainly had no idea that her family's situation had been thoroughly investigated. She was sitting in the store worrying about the egg beater. She had previously drawn a diagram of the manual egg beater with steel wire in her kitchen and asked Xie Songmu to make one with bamboo wire. Although it had increased the beating speed, it was still labor-intensive. Now there were three people making the cake, and six people following behind to beat the cream and eggs.

Seeing her scratching her head, Xie Songlin said, "Actually, you don't have to think about making it fully automatic. That's too difficult. You can just make a hand-cranked one. Our current conditions don't require the complete liberation of productivity."

Xie Wanxing's eyes lit up instantly after hearing what Xie Songlin said. She said excitedly, "Yes, the hand-cranked method! You can use a piece of iron to make a roller to drive the mixing head below, and use a handle on the other end to rotate the roller. This will definitely save a lot of effort than whipping the cream by hand."

Xie Wanxing has always been very proactive. She immediately ran to the backyard and found a secluded place to hide in. She entered the space and turned out all the egg beaters in the kitchen. Some of these egg beaters had simple shapes, while others had multiple functions, but each one had a unique design.

While observing, Xie Wanxing was thinking in her mind how to combine the advantages of modern egg beaters with ancient materials and techniques. She thought about the size of the roller, the shape of the stirring head, the length of the handle and other issues. She found paper and pen, and began to draw the blueprint seriously based on her imagination.

But the only trouble was that she would be kicked out of the space every once in a while. She vaguely felt that the time before being kicked out seemed to have become longer than the previous ten minutes.

However, the most important thing for her now is to draw blueprints, and she has no time to study the changes in space.
