Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

After the magistrate left, the Xu family members gathered around.

With some concern, Madam Wen asked, "Daughter, what did the magistrate say? Why have you been talking for so long? Has something happened?"

Xu Qing didn't want Wen Shi to worry at first, so he told Lao Shi and Zhou Chenggong not to tell them about encountering bandits while buying bricks.

But now that she knows there are still remnants of the bandits, she feels it's necessary to tell her family and ask them to be more vigilant when going out in the mountains.

"Let's talk about it when we get home, Mom."

The whole family, including Zhou Chenggong, returned to the thatched house. After closing the courtyard gate, they sat around inside.

Xu Qing then briefly recounted his encounter with the bandits to his family, and told them to be careful until the county magistrate caught the remaining bandits.

Ms. Wen looked Xu Qing up and down, asking anxiously:

"Daughter, are you alright? You still need a man by your side to protect you. Listen to your mother, after the house is built, we'll find a strong man to marry into your family."

The Xu brothers, Jian and Gong, were also very nervous: "Little sister, we'll go with you whenever you go out from now on. It's all our fault. Your older brothers will definitely not let you get hurt in the future."

The two little girls each grabbed one of Xu Qing's arms, their lips pursed, their faces full of worry.

Xu Qing sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Her family's excessive pampering was a happy kind of trouble.

Zhou Chenggong jumped out again: "You only care about Aunt Xu, why aren't you worried about me? I've been arrested!"

Besides, Aunt Xu is so capable; she easily took down that group of bandits. She doesn't need a man to protect her. Don't underestimate her, okay?

Xu Qing clapped his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"Mother, I've told you I won't get married again. Even if you find me a man as strong as an ox, he still won't be able to beat a group of bandits."

Success is right, I don't need anyone's protection. I'm fine as I am now. Big brother and second brother, don't blame yourselves. There's still a lot for the family to do.

If you all come with me, who will take care of the household chores? Bao Bao and Zhen Zhen? Don't worry, everyone. Look, not only am I alright, but I also earned enough to fill two oxcarts, and the magistrate even rewarded me with 50 taels of silver.

I wish this happened every day. How could we do business then? We could just lie around all day.

Xu Qing said the last sentence jokingly, hoping that his family members wouldn't be too nervous.

Everyone did feel a little relieved.

At this moment, the one-armed beggar said, "Madam Xu, today when Zhenzhen and I were selling roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), some restaurant owners came to ask if we could also supply them with some jelly. Zhenzhen and I didn't know if it was possible, so we said we would get back to him tomorrow."

Xu Qing did not answer the one-armed beggar first, but asked Wen if she had found the plants she mentioned when she went up the mountain today.

Wen carried the basket into the house and took out several kinds of plants she had picked, handing them to Xu Qing: "Take a look and see if these are what you want?"

Xu Qing took them and examined them one by one. Only one of them was grass jelly; the others were not.

Grass jelly can also be used to make grass jelly dessert, which is delicious when served with milk tea.

Xu Qing presented the grass jelly to Madam Wen and asked, "Mother, is there a lot of grass jelly on the mountain?"

Wen: "There are plenty of them, they're everywhere on the mountains and fields. Everyone cuts them to feed chickens or pigs."

Xu Qing had made up her mind. She could make jelly and grass jelly, which would be refreshing and cooling in the summer.

When winter comes, they can add hot milk tea and continue selling it.

The jelly made from this grass jelly is different in color from the jelly made from aiyu jelly, and the taste is also somewhat different.

I wonder if Manager Chen still wants it.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing patted his forehead; he had forgotten to ask when he delivered the goods today.

I'm out of aiyu jelly, but I still need to deliver tomorrow's order on time. I'll just have to buy some aiyu jelly from the store to make jelly for now.

She had searched in the online store before but didn't see any Aiyu jade for sale. She just searched again and found that it was available.

But there's no more jade on the mountain, so it's a bit strange that she could still take it out. We can only say for now that she left some in the house and forgot about it.

Xu Qing said to Wen Shi, "Mother, could you cut some more jelly grass for me? I'll make one batch with this first, and tomorrow I'll take it to town to ask Manager Chen. If he still buys it, we'll use jelly grass instead of Aiyu."

Ms. Wen nodded in agreement, picked up her basket, and prepared to leave. Xu Baobao and Wangcai followed her; she wanted to go and find the plants her mother had mentioned.

Zhou Chenggong saw this and decided to go too. He hadn't been up the mountain in a long time and had become rusty at making traps. He wanted to go and have some fun.

Xu Qing was worried, so he asked Xu Jian and his brother to go with him, and gave each of them a large machete.

It's called a large cleaver, but it's actually only a bit longer than a wood-chopping knife. However, it's exceptionally sharp and of much better quality than the wood-chopping knife we ​​have at home.

She got it from bandits and put it in her shopping cart.

He originally intended to take them all, but he couldn't justify it to the county magistrate. After much deliberation, he decided to give one to each of her two older brothers.

The two brothers, wielding large machetes, kept gesturing wildly, clearly enjoying themselves. They showered Xu Qing with compliments, making Xu Qing blush.

Only the one-armed beggar and Xu Zhenzhen remained in the room. Xu Qing continued:

"Tomorrow we'll also take some to town to sell along with the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and see if there's a market for them."

If the shopkeeper who asked the same question today comes back, we will tell him the truth: whether or not they want to place another order is up to them.

The one-armed beggar nodded and went to the kitchen with Xu Zhenzhen to make roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

Xu Qing was exhausted after a long day and felt weak all over. She carried Xu Beibei back to their room to rest.

Xu Beibei used a gas patch, and Xu Qing often did gas-relieving exercises and massaged her stomach.

She went back to being her usual adorable baby, spending her days eating and sleeping, and occasionally waking up to look at Xu Qing with a beaming smile.

Zhou Chenggong slept until evening, when Wen had already prepared dinner. He then became a little teacher again, teaching two little girls to recognize characters in the yard.

The Xu brothers, one chopping wood and the other cooking pig feed, were responsible for chopping wood and cooking pig feed.

Wen scolded in a low voice, "What are you chopping wood for? Your little sister is still sleeping. She was so frightened today. Let her sleep a little longer. Don't wake her up."

Xu Jian stopped what he was doing, and a soft voice came in admitting his mistake.

Everyone lowered their voices, mocking Xu Jian for being tactless and inconsiderate, saying that no young girl would want to marry him in the future.

Although the house was dilapidated, the aroma of food wafting inside, the care and love of her family, and the laughter filled Xu Qing's heart with warmth.

After the meal, Xu Qing took out the jade pendant from the mall and recited the speech she had prepared in advance.

The Xu brothers then took the initiative to make jelly from the Aiyu jade.

Xu Qing made some jelly with grass jelly and also made some grass jelly.

I also bought milk and tea from the mall, made milk tea, added grass jelly to the milk tea, and served it to my family.

Xu Qing specially made caramel flavored drinks, and everyone who tasted them was amazed, especially the three children.

"Mom, this smells milky, did you add milk?"

"It's sweet and delicious, and the jelly inside is also tasty, with a unique flavor."

"Aunt Xu, how did you come up with these dishes? They're even better than the chefs at the restaurants in town! They're absolutely delicious."

Xu Gong took a bite and, seeing how much his nieces liked it, suddenly thought of Qian Baizhi.

"Little sister... do you still have that grass jelly milk tea?" Xu Gong asked somewhat awkwardly.

Xu Qing: Yes, I'll go get you some.

Xu Gong immediately said, "I'm too full tonight. I'm going out for a walk to digest. You guys go to sleep first, don't wait for me."

I drank the grass jelly milk tea on the way. I'll go get some myself, little sister. I'll go get it and then I'll head out.

Everyone looked at Xu Gong, whose face was as red as a monkey's bottom, and they were all a little confused.

Xu Jian said speechlessly, "My sister's cooking is indeed delicious, but she doesn't need to make up such a lame excuse just to eat more."

Xu Baobao lifted her head from the bowl and said meaningfully, "Uncle might be going to Qianjia Village to digest his food again."

Thinking of Xu Gongduan's herbal jelly milk tea, everyone suddenly realized that he had gone to deliver milk tea to Qian Baizhi.
