After leaving the restaurant, they went straight to Xiongsi Store to buy everything they needed for tomorrow's ancestor worship.

Then he went to the medicine and incense shops and bought all the spices needed for cooking. Because he needed to make mugwort balls, he also bought a lot of glutinous rice, rice, sugar, and red beans.

After buying everything, it was already past noon, so they found a nearby noodle stall and each ordered a bowl of noodles.

Qingning generously paid for the meal, which made Qingsong and Qingyu feel very upset.

Most of the money I earned in the morning was gone before I could even warm it up.

Although the two felt distressed, they didn't say anything. After all, the money was earned by their sister and had nothing to do with them.

After the meal, they did not stay any longer and hurried back to prepare the things to be delivered tomorrow. They took the ox cart and headed back.

When passing by a wine shop, Qing Ning stopped the car, went into the store and bought two small jars of wine as gifts for the two old men.

When you receive someone's kindness, you cannot take it for granted.

After getting on the car and continuing on their journey, Qing Ning took out another two taels of silver.

"Uncle Yu Qi, thank you for taking the trouble to accompany us today and for introducing us to Shopkeeper Xu. This is your reward."

Yu Qi was quite surprised. This little girl was not only smart and capable, but also knew how to manage people's hearts.

"You're being polite to me, aren't you? You saved my old man's life. Besides, I didn't do anything to help. I just introduced him to someone."

Yu Qi naturally didn't want to accept it and just made excuses.

"Uncle Qi's matter is one and the same, how can we mix it up? Saving Uncle Yu Shi was fate and necessity. No one would ignore it if they encountered it."

"Although I negotiated this deal today, if it weren't for your introduction, why would Shopkeeper Xu have given us this opportunity if he hadn't been attracted by you?"

Qingning knew clearly that no matter what time, the middleman played a crucial role.

But you can't just pretend to be stupid and ignorant just because you are a child and have received a favor. Who will look down on you after a while?

At this point, Yu Qi just said it was something that happened conveniently and still declined to take the job.

Qingsong said, "Uncle Qi, what my younger sister said makes sense. We can't just let this matter go because of a favor. In the future, we will have to trouble Uncle Qi in many ways. If Uncle Qi doesn't accept us, we will just be polite and keep our distance."

This is very clear. You must accept this money. If you need help in the future, big or small, you can ask for it.

If you don't accept it, I will only help you this once and will not bother you again in the future.

Furthermore, asking for repayment for a favor is not something his Chen family could do.

Having said that, Yu Qi no longer refused and accepted it generously.

It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival. It was cloudy this morning and it got dark in the afternoon.

The wind was strong and cold, and the rain was about to fall, so Yu Qi quickened the pace of the carriage.

When they got home, they moved the things they bought into the kitchen.

The Chen family thanked them politely, and Yu Qi did not stay long and went back with two jars of wine.

"Godfather, Mr. Ma, I'm back."

He unloaded the ox from the cart, tied up the ox, and carried two jars of wine into the house.

The two old men were playing chess in the house when they heard Yu Qi's voice and asked.

"Old Qi is back. How's the girl's business today?"

"Alas, do you have any shame, old man? Why are you regretting your move? Put it down."

Mr. Ma yelled angrily and cursed at Mr. Yu.

"That's called admitting your mistakes and correcting them. Who regretted their move?"

Mr. Yu was in such an embarrassing situation that he was completely undetectable and felt very confident.

"Hmph, no more."

Mr. Ma was so angry that he threw the chess piece onto the board and ignored Mr. Yu.

Turning around, he saw the two jars of wine that Yu Qi brought in and snorted, "He even thought of bringing something for the host. He's more sensible than this old man."

Yu Qi choked, his face flushed, and he spoke somewhat unnaturally.

"This is what Miss Qingling bought for you and your godfather."

"I knew you were just like this old man, thick-skinned. Meanwhile, Ning is the obedient and sensible girl."

Mr. Ma gave them a cold look, his expression showing the most disgust he could muster.

"This kid is really wasting money. Why did he buy it for this old guy instead of just buying it for me?"

Yu Qi listened silently without saying a word. He just said he would put the wine in and then left.

Old Master Yu was not annoyed and collected the chess pieces with a smile.

"Old Qi, come over here and tell us how the business is going in town today."

After putting away the chess pieces, Grandpa Yu called Yu Qi over and asked about what happened today.

Yu Qi then told them in detail what had happened this morning. Finally, he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Old Man Yu.

"Since it's given to you, just keep it."

Yu Qi was not polite and returned the silver.

Seeing that the two had no other instructions, he turned and left.

"Brother Pingchuan, do you think this girl has someone behind the scenes directing her? Otherwise, how could a five-year-old kid like her, who grew up in the countryside, understand all this?"

After listening to Yu Qi's narration, Mr. Yu was shocked and confused.

If you say that there is no one to guide her, this girl is just too smart and precocious.

At such a young age, she does things very carefully and meticulously, and the new styles she makes are unprecedented. How did she know about them?

Putting aside these skills, listening to what Yu Qi said today about the business negotiations, he sounded like a shrewd and knowledgeable person.

The more Old Man Yu thought about it, the more frightened he became. Was this child too mature? As the saying goes, too much wisdom can lead to demonic influence. Could it be...

I have to say that although what Mr. Yu thought was a bit outrageous, it did have some similarities with the truth.

When Mr. Ma saw the change in his expression, he knew that his old friend was probably thinking about something he shouldn't be thinking about.

He interrupted, "It seems that this is really the blessing of the gods. This ability can only be achieved through a strange encounter. I think the Chen family is not talking nonsense."

These words brought Mr. Yu back to his senses, and he looked at Mr. Ma in confusion.

Mr. Ma then told him what had happened before and repeated his explanation.

Fearing his old friend was overly concerned, he said, "There are countless wonderful things in the world, so there's really no need to be so cautious and panic. Besides, this child knows a few things that others don't, but otherwise he's no different. Let's see how he reacts in the future."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Yu felt relieved. A person with good fortune cannot be guessed. Let's wait and see!

Mr. Ma suddenly changed the subject, "Tell them to get the Qin pepper and give it to Miss Ning. She'll definitely be able to make something unexpectedly delicious. Besides, I don't want to eat this dog food with you guys every day."

It’s no wonder Mr. Ma was angry. It was reasonable and respectable for him to go to Chen’s house for dinner every day.

When these old people and children came, he felt embarrassed to bring a group of people to other people's houses to eat for free. He couldn't do such a shameless thing, so he had been eating at home these days.

But he had tasted Qing Ning's cooking, so how could he eat this? Besides, the food made by the grown men was really hard to swallow.

Therefore, if you want to continue to eat at Chen's house, you must have a legitimate reason.

"That Qin pepper looks nice, but if you accidentally touch it, the juice is very spicy and painful. How can you eat it? Wouldn't it be better to send some rice, flour or meat?"

Old Master Yu was puzzled as to why the old man was staring at his Qin Jiao.

"What do you know? You've already brought gifts as a thank you for Lao Shi saving your life. If you give them more, these people will definitely not accept them. Even though the Chen family is poor, they will feel uneasy if they accept these gifts for no reason."

Mr. Ma rolled his eyes at him and said, "I heard from that girl that this Qin pepper can be used in cooking. It tastes very good, but I haven't eaten it yet. Don't you want to try it?"

Mr. Ma deliberately aroused the curiosity of several people.

"Then tell her I'm sending her these peppers. I want to try some of her fresh cooking. She's smart, so she'll definitely know where these peppers come from. That way, we'll have something to eat, too. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

"From now on, we'll interact more often and let the guys help out more. That way, I'll feel more at ease."

It was rare that Mr. Ma spoke so much to them. He had gone through so many twists and turns just to get this.

"You're so shameless to use my things as a favor."

Old Master Yu sneered.

"What? Not happy? Then go back to your Taoist temple."

Mr. Ma ignored him and sat aside to drink tea.

Old Master Yu has become very interested in the Chen family and has no intention of going back now.

Come to think of it, today's food wasn't very tasty. I was also a little more curious and excited about using green lemon and pepper in cooking.

Then he arranged, "Old Third, go to the temple and bring back a basin of Qin pepper."

After a pause, he said, "No, go get two basins and bring all the dried Qin peppers you've harvested."

After receiving the arrangement, Yu San got up without delay, hitched up the ox cart and left.
