Shen Wenjun was a little puzzled as to why Su Zhizhi asked that, but she still replied, "Mint has the effect of refreshing the mind. I have to work during the day, so I can only study at night. However, I tend to get sleepy at night, so I planted so much mint. Miss Su, do you want to use the mint?"

Su Zhizhi nodded. "Yes, but I won't use too much. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I thought about making mint syrup and selling it. I should be able to make a considerable income."

"It's just that the girl has a special status in Jinyi City, so it's not convenient for her to show up, right?" Shen Wenjun was still worried about what to do if Su Zhizhi was discovered by the soldiers when she went out.

Su Zhizhi hurriedly comforted her, saying that she would disguise herself and would not be discovered. Only then did Shen Wenjun give up.

Su Zhizhi asked Shen Wenjun to buy a few sets of coarse cloth clothes and some rouge, while she herself was experimenting with the ratio of mint water in the kitchen.

The preparation of mint water was very smooth and required almost no adjustments. Su Zhizhi had tried out the taste that satisfied her most. In order to avoid different tastes, Su Zhizhi also reserved some for Shen Wenjun to taste.

Shen Wenjun was a little skeptical about mint water at first, until the cool feeling passed through his throat, and the heat from working during the day seemed to be soothed in an instant. He looked at Su Zhizhi with a light in his eyes.

"Miss Su, I didn't expect that this mint water has such miraculous effects. If it were sold on the street, wouldn't it be..." Shen Wenjun was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Su Zhizhi's mood was more stable. She smiled at Shen Wenjun and said, "If it can really be sold, I think you can make more money from it, Master Shen, and you will have more time to study."

The next day, Su Zhizhi took out her remaining money and rented a stall in the city to sell mint water.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Su Zhizhi asked Shen Wenjun to rent the stall.

Soon, Su Zhizhi set up a stall at her seat, on which were placed cups of mint water, which Su Zhizhi had made into a more acceptable light blue color.

This novel drink attracted many people to stop and watch, but no one dared to try it easily. Many of them did not know that mint could also be used to boil water.

Faced with these doubts, Su Zhizhi simply picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that the boss was like this, the onlookers' suspicions were reduced by half.

But he still hesitated and didn't dare to step forward. Su Zhizhi didn't urge him, but just waited quietly.

After a while, a sweaty man came over. He saw the things on Su Zhizhi's stall, picked up a cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Zhizhi did not stop him. After the man drank it, he looked much better. He put the cup back to its original place and laughed.

"I didn't expect that your mint water has such miraculous effects. How much is one cup? Give me five cups first!" The man looked very thirsty. Su Zhizhi just reported an amount of money, and the big man took out the money and handed it to Su Zhizhi without hesitation.

Then he drank the mint water he bought.

Seeing someone making a move, the onlookers no longer hesitated and came forward to taste the new thing.

As batch after batch of customers left, the mint water on the stall kept decreasing. However, in just three hours, all the mint water prepared by Su Zhizhi was sold out. After packing up the stall, Su Zhizhi returned to the Shen family.

She began to count the money she earned today. Although it was not as much as running a restaurant, it was not a small amount either. Su Zhizhi left a part for herself. Seeing that Shen Wenjun had not returned yet, Su Zhizhi thought about it and took the money and went out again.

This time, Su Zhizhi came to the vegetable market. She planned to buy some food for Shen Wenjun, especially meat. After living in Shen's house for a few days, Su Zhizhi found that Shen Wenjun rarely ate meat. She looked particularly thin, as if she was malnourished. In addition, with her as the one to feed her, Shen Wenjun ate even less, which made Su Zhizhi feel a little guilty.

When Su Zhizhi returned to the Shen family, Shen Wenjun had already returned. He was a little surprised that Su Zhizhi had walked in from outside. "Isn't it hard to sell today? Why are you back so late? But I saw that your things are all at home. Did something happen?"

Shen Wenjun's concerned questioning made Su Zhizhi feel warm in her heart.

Su Zhizhi shook the things in her hands and smiled at Shen Wenjun, "I went to buy some things. They sold very quickly today and I made some money. I bought them all for you, okay."

Su Zhizhi handed the items to Shen Wenjun, who stared at the pile of meat and other miscellaneous food in Su Zhizhi's hand. He was so stunned that he almost stuttered, then waved his hands repeatedly as if realizing something.

"Miss Su, I can't accept these things. You should keep the money you earned with great difficulty. Aren't you going to the capital? There are many places on the way that need money." Shen Wenjun refused again and again, but Su Zhizhi just threw the things to Shen Wenjun.

"Just keep it. I've already allocated the money I need. These are just gifts of thanks for helping me so much during this time."

Seeing this, Shen Wenjun no longer refused and quietly put his things away. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said to Su Zhizhi, "Oh, Miss Su, Jinyi City was closed a few days ago. Now there is news, and the streets have just announced that the city gates will open again in three days. Miss Su should be able to go out then."

Su Zhizhi silently remembered it in her heart and thanked Shen Wenjun.

Su Zhizhi didn't just stay in Jinyi City during this period. She had been trying to find out about Xie Chengjin, but unfortunately, she didn't get the result she wanted.

Xie Chengjin never gave up searching for Su Zhizhi's whereabouts. He originally thought that Su Zhizhi had been killed by Chen Xuli, but Chen Xuli's wanted notice for Su Zhizhi after he woke up eliminated Xie Chengjin's worries.

However, Su Zhizhi did not fall into Chen Xuli's hands, and Xie Chengjin did not find Su Zhizhi's whereabouts. He dispersed all the people under his command, but did not receive any news.

It wasn't until Jinyi City's lockdown ended that Xie Chengjin's spies brought him some news, which he wasn't sure if it was good or not. "Master, I've found out that Miss Su... is said to have... remarried to the mountain king outside the city."

The subordinate looked at Xie Chengjin and stammered.
