After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Seeing Da Shuang coming over, Li Qingqing smiled and took out a mooncake and handed it to her, saying, "Come and try it, my elder sister just baked it."

"Thank you, big sister!" Dashuang took the mooncake, her eyes lit up, and she continued,

"Sister Qiuqiao came here with her father. They are drinking tea in the outer hall right now, and Xiaoshuang is accompanying them."

"Qiu Qiao is here again?" Zhou's mother came out of the kitchen and said to Li Qingqing with a smile.

"Qiu Kui and his daughter have come to our Zhou family twice. They always said they wanted to thank you in person. Let's go meet them together."

"it is good."

Li Qingqing already remembered who Qiu Qiao was. Wasn't she the girl who was saved when Xier was saved?

She carried a basket of mooncakes and followed Zhou's mother to the outer hall with Dashuang.

As soon as she stepped into the outer hall, Qiu Qiao, with her sharp eyes, saw Li Qingqing and immediately called out affectionately, "Sister Qingqing."

Then she stood up, ran to Li Qingqing, and introduced her to her father Qiu Kui with a smile:

"Dad, it was Sister Qingqing who saved me back then. She's so amazing!"

Qiu Kui also quickly stood up and thanked him:

"Mrs. Li, thanks to you, my daughter is safe and sound. Our whole family will always remember this kindness."

Li Qingqing smiled and waved her hand, responding, "Uncle Qiu, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

After Qiu Kui sat down, he looked at Li Qingqing and spoke gently:

"I'm usually busy collecting honey in the mountains. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my wife made some extra Hu cakes and two jars of newly harvested osmanthus honey. She asked me to bring them over for you to try."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing quickly expressed her gratitude:

"Uncle Qiu, you are so polite. This Hu pancake and osmanthus honey must be delicious. We are in for a treat."

Mother Zhou took the gift from Qiu Qiao and said with a smile:

"Yes, you are very polite. It just so happens that Qingqing from my family also made some pancakes. You might as well try them."

Zhou's mother invited Qiu Qiao to eat mooncakes, while Li Qingqing chatted with Qiu Kui.

"Uncle Qiu, the honey-chasing you mentioned just now, do you mean constantly moving the beehives from one place to another, chasing the flowers and honey as the flowering season changes?"

"That's right." Qiu Kui nodded in response.

"It's not just me. Almost all beekeepers in Pinghua Town do this. The main reason is that the flower sources are relatively scattered, so we can only move around to collect honey."

When Li Qingqing heard this, her heart moved and her smile deepened.

"Uncle Qiu, what a coincidence! I think I can help you with this."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Qiu Kui looked at Li Qingqing, waiting for her to continue.

Li Qingqing didn't keep the secret and continued:

"My friend has some flower seeds, and now is the best time to plant them. If you plant them now, they will bloom continuously from February until June.

When the fruit matures, the seeds can be collected and used the following year."

When Qiu Kui heard this, he immediately asked with interest, "Where should these flower seeds be planted?"

"You can just sprinkle it on any unused rice fields. It's easy to plant and doesn't require special management." Li Qingqing said with a smile.

"Uncle Qiu, try to imagine if the rice fields of the entire village were covered with flourishing flowers. Wouldn't that provide an excellent environment for bees to collect nectar?"

"That way, you can stay home for at least half a year without having to run around looking for honey!"

"Also, my friend told me that milk vetch nectar has an excellent taste and is of high quality. He was lucky enough to try it once and still praises it to this day."

Li Qingqing became more and more excited as she spoke. She felt that she would be able to successfully sell the seeds this time.

I failed in lobbying the village chief last night, so I will try to win back a point with Qiu Kui today.

Li Qingqing secretly planned in her heart that if the village chief remained stubborn, she would let Bai Ye secretly sow seeds in the rice fields in the middle of the night.

Well, this should be possible.

However, let’s deal with Qiu Kui first.

Li Qingqing seemed to have seen that Qiu Kui was moved and kept lobbying him.

Qiu Kui was indeed moved at this moment. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he began to imagine the prosperity of the peak flowering period, and nodded repeatedly.

But then he asked with some concern: "Will this batch of flower seeds affect rice production?"

"It will definitely not affect the rice yield, Uncle Qiu, you can rest assured," Li Qingqing assured with a smile, "If any problems arise, I will take responsibility."

The more Qiu Kui listened, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but ask, "How much are these flower seeds going to cost?"

"Flower seeds are quite expensive, but you are lucky," Li Qingqing replied seriously.

"Yesterday he told me that he plans to give back the flower seeds at a discount after the Mid-Autumn Festival. He won't charge a penny to any first-time flower seed buyers!

But if you buy it for the second time, you will have to pay."

"Uncle Qiu, I think you should discuss this with the other beekeepers in the village while no one knows the news yet.

Get these seeds back as soon as possible, otherwise once this news gets out, I'm afraid all the flower seeds will be snatched up!"

"Okay, Miss Li, thank you for telling me the news! I will go back and discuss it with them now.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and most of them are at home. If nothing unexpected happens, I will come early tomorrow morning to transport the seeds."

Li Qingqing nodded, her expression serious. "This must be done as soon as possible. I'll also ask my friend to save as many flower seeds as possible for you."

After Qiu Kui finished speaking and said goodbye to Zhou's mother, he looked at Qiu Qiao and urged her, "Qiao'er, go home with Daddy quickly. Daddy has something urgent to do."

Qiu Qiao was eating delicious mooncakes at this time. The mooncakes were not big and she could finish one in a few bites.

She had already eaten several, but still felt unsatisfied.

Hearing Qiu Kui calling her, she casually replied, "Dad, we just got here!"

Li Qingqing wrapped the mooncakes in the basket with a smile and handed them to Qiu Qiao, "Hurry up and go home with Dad. Come to the Zhou family anytime you have time."

Qiu Qiao took the mooncake, thanked him happily, and left with Qiu Kui.

Li Qingqing then looked at the Hu Bing that Qiu Qiao had just brought over.

Unexpectedly, the Hubing they were talking about was actually very similar to the Guokui of later generations. Both were baked thin round cakes, and not at all similar to mooncakes.

Li Qingqing took the Hu pancakes and osmanthus honey and walked out of the outer hall, preparing to put them in the kitchen.

At this moment, Xie Xuanan and Bai Ye came back.

They had gone out early to practice swordplay in the yard in front of the Enlightenment School. Worried about Li Qingqing's mooncakes, they hurried back after practice.

"Where are the mooncakes?"

Xie Xuan'an smelled a faint and pleasant crispy fragrance in the air, which made him look forward to it.

"Give it away."

Li Qingqing then recounted her conversation with Qiu Kui in detail. She added with a smile, "If everything goes as expected, we'll be able to send out the first batch of seeds tomorrow."

Xie Xuanan looked at her speechlessly and asked, "Where is my mooncake?"

Li Qingqing looked at his expression and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

It’s not that she won’t do it, it’s just that she just successfully persuaded Qiu Kui and she is still a little excited.
