Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

The twelfth lunar month is coming soon.

Mi Qiqi instructed Xu Bo to buy a large amount of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and vegetarian dishes such as winter bamboo shoots and tofu.

There are few fresh vegetables in winter, and the main food is meat.

After braising dozens of kilograms of various braised meats and dishes, Mi Qiqi froze them using freezing techniques.

The effect is much better than the Earth refrigerator.

Before opening, Mi Qiqi had to go to the Marquis' Mansion to deliver New Year gifts.

No matter how small the store is, it is best to find a backstage in the capital.

Otherwise, you won’t know how to offend people!

The most numerous people in the capital are dignitaries!

Mi Qiqi selected appropriate amounts of various braised meats and placed them in exquisite colored pottery, and added the live deer, making the New Year gift quite substantial.

He went to see the Marquis's wife, Zuo, and was invited to dinner.

The two maids beside Zuo were Jiehua and Wenxue. Jiehua had married a steward, now called Ma Quanjia.

The newly promoted maid is Zhixia.

Zhichun, one of the second-class maids, was also of marriageable age. Together with Zhiqiu who had been redeemed, only Zhidong was left.

Three second-class maids were promoted.

They are called Picking Willows, Picking Lotus and Picking Chrysanthemums respectively.

"Madam, the Marquis and the Crown Prince sent Nanny Ye to come over and answer their questions!"

The one who came in to report was Cai Lian.

Lunch was served in the west hall, and the Marquis's wife, the eldest daughter Sun Lin, and the sixth young master Sun Lang were eating with gusto.

Ma Quanjia, Zhixia, Wenxue and Miqin were waiting on the side.

Mi Qiqi sat at the last seat.

The Marquis and the Crown Prince also set up a braised meat banquet in the outer courtyard.

"Let her in!" Zuo wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said to Mi Qiqi with a smile, "This braised food is very unique and tastes great."

The door curtain was lifted and Nanny Ye came in with a smile on her face to report.

"Madam, the Marquis and the Crown Prince both like this braised food very much. The Marquis even asked Zhiqiu to braise another 100 to 80 kilograms of it for him. This way, he will have a solution for this year's New Year's gift!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Without waiting for Zuo to speak, Sun Lin and Sun Lang nodded.

"Zhiqiu, save all the game for me!" Sun Lin said anxiously.

Sun Lang also shouted, "I want one too!"

Zuo said thoughtfully to Mi Qiqi, "Zhiqiu, I think you shouldn't sell these wild game. I'll make the decision. The Marquis' Mansion will take as much as you want from me."

"That's right, things are valuable because they are rare, so it's perfect for giving as New Year gifts!"

Sun Lin quickly agreed.

Mi Qiqi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Listen to my wife, it's fine to go to Luweiji to sell braised chicken, duck, fish and meat!"

Zuo nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard outside, and Cai Lian came in to report.

"The prince sent someone to ask if the braised meat can be made fresh. There are some distinguished guests coming to the outer courtyard."

Zuo asked in surprise, "Who are they?"

"Madam, it's His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who came with the Prince of Liang and the Prince of Zhenguo!"

Cai Lian replied quickly.

It turned out that they were all distinguished guests from the royal family.

The Seventh Prince, like the Sixth Young Master Sun Lang, is only eight years old.

I think he came out of the palace privately with the Prince of Liang.

Zuo's face was solemn. After thinking for a while, she asked Mi Qiqi, "Do you have any braised game?"

"Yes, Madam, just send someone to the back street to get it. I have a few recipes here."

Mi Qiqi knew.

This is a good opportunity for Luweiji to become famous.

She did not keep anything to herself and told the cook in the Marquis's mansion all the recipes she remembered.

Fortunately, several hundred kilograms of braised food have been transported to the house in Beijing.

After a long day of hard work in the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion, they finally prepared a sumptuous feast of braised food.

Mi Qiqi could not leave until the distinguished guest finished eating.

However, the Marquis's wife has many old acquaintances here, and there is a lot of gossip to talk about.

Miqin said mysteriously, "Hey, Zhiqiu, I heard from mother that Painter Mi has proposed marriage to Zhichun's family!"

This is a marriage proposal for Manager Xiao Liu.

Many people knew that Manager Xiao Liu had previously taken a fancy to Mi Qiqi.

"I really envy Sister Zhichun, that's Manager Liu's home!"

Cai Liu said with envy.

Zhidong smiled and said, "Do your job well, and I'll ask Madam to give you some good advice in the future!"

"What are you all talking about? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Zhichun walked in with a shrill voice and glanced at Mi Qiqi in an unfriendly manner.

"Sister Zhiqiu is not an outsider!"

Caiju interrupted.

"Hmph, you've already left the house and you're still showing off? It's so embarrassing!" Zhichun slammed the door and walked out.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but be stunned.

Mi Qiqi had a blank expression on her face, and she didn't even bother to glance at her.

"What does she mean? She's not even married yet, how can she be jealous?"

Miqin said sarcastically.

Mi Qiqi smiled faintly: "I'll go to the main room to check, it's getting late."

There is no need to pay attention to irrelevant people.

Soon, word came from the outer courtyard that the distinguished guests had enjoyed their meal and had left the banquet.

Mi Qiqi took the opportunity to say goodbye to Zuo.

Zuo was very generous. She gave her three thousand taels of silver as a deposit and said that as long as she had wild game or braised meat, she would send it to the Marquis' Mansion.

Mi Qiqi took it with a smile and then left the Marquis' Mansion.

Zuo was originally very happy today. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to satisfy several distinguished guests.

But his face soon darkened.

The words of several maids in the side hall had reached Zuo's ears.

"Humph, what a clueless idiot, it's a waste of time for you to stay by my side for all these years!"

Zuo ordered Ma's family, "Ask Liu Wu's family to come over."

"Yes, ma'am!"

The Ma family sighed inwardly, it seemed that Zhichun's marriage with Manager Xiao Liu was ruined by Zhichun himself.

The lady was just planning to use the new braised food to make a splash and build momentum for the eldest daughter.

How could he allow his servants to offend Zhiqiu?

Zhichun takes himself too seriously and fails to understand the situation!

Luweiji will open on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month!

The business was just average at the beginning, but as the Yongning Marquis' Mansion finished delivering New Year gifts to various mansions.

The business of Luwei Ji is gradually getting better.

Wild game and braised meat are limited, but chicken, duck and fish are popular and easily accepted by people.

Mi Qiqi handed the braised food notes to Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

She asked the Tao brothers to be responsible for transporting the brine and game, and asked the Zhu family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, to assist Xu Bo and his wife in making the brine.

By the end of the year, Luweiji had started to make a profit.

When Luweiji was on track, Mi Qiqi let go. She practiced while refining the nourishing liquid.

The requirements for boiling medicine are not as high as those for refining elixirs.

Mi Qiqi tried several times and finally succeeded in refining it!

By the end of the year, her cultivation had almost reached the first level of Qi Refining.

With top-grade spiritual jade, you don't have to worry about consumption when practicing magic.

Mi Qiqi also discovered that after her spiritual power was completely consumed, she could absorb high-quality spiritual jade to recover, and her spiritual power would grow faster.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Mi Qiqi learned all the five elements magic spells in one go.

She originally had mixed spiritual roots, possessing all five attributes, and could learn the spells of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

So, all the attack and defense spells such as water ball spell, earth wall spell, gold blade spell, etc. were practiced.

cool!

Late at night on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Mi Qiqi went into the palace, of course she did so in secret.

She is here to pay off her debt!

Give the emperor, the empress and Concubine Zhang one drop of nourishing liquid each.

The nourishing liquid containing top-grade elixirs can not only improve their physical condition, but also enhance their immunity, so they will basically not get sick.

Although it is impossible to increase your lifespan, you can live to a ripe old age in good health.

For mortals, what could be happier than this?

Get it!

Cause and effect settled.

Mi Qiqi was finally able to put her mind at ease.
