Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

This is really going to make you rich! Wang Qing'er is already imagining what it would feel like to sleep on a bed of 100,000 taels of silver.

As she thought about it, she felt cheerful and estimated that the dishes she would cook today would taste even better than usual.

Just then, Mu Nan brought back some fish, so she made a sauerkraut fish, boiled sliced ​​pork, stir-fried beef, stir-fried pork liver, stir-fried pork intestines, cold pork heart salad, cold black fungus and shredded chicken salad, and a bright green tofu dish.

There were also boiled salted duck eggs, and the rest were garden vegetables: a loofah and egg soup, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried chili peppers, and stir-fried red amaranth and water spinach.

Worried that they couldn't handle spicy food, I only made it slightly spicy, and I also asked Qin Miaomiao and Yun Jing if they had any dietary restrictions while cooking.

Only then did I learn that they also ate spicy food, but not this kind of chili pepper; they used dogwood instead.

Everyone looked at the three tables laden with dishes, the drinks were mulberry wine and water infused with mulberry jam, and there was also a dessert of white fungus and lotus seed soup.

The white fungus was picked from the mountains, and some red dates were also added. The red dates and lotus seeds were brought from the capital by Shang Congjian and his family as a gift to the Mu family.

Besides red dates, there were also many longans, peanuts, pastries, candied fruits, fabrics, and gold and silver jewelry, which were wedding gifts from Shang Congjian and Mu Zhicheng to Mu Nanwang Qing'er.

Yun Kai also sent a wedding gift, which Mu Nan accepted without hesitation, as it was a token of their brotherhood.

The gifts included quite a lot of red dates, lotus seeds, longans, and peanuts, which meant Zihao wouldn't need to buy anything for his engagement.

Wang Qing'er secretly complained to herself, "These people are really something. They're even pressuring us to have children when they give gifts. Aren't red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds just a way of wishing them to have a son soon?"

I wonder if they have children?

The Mu family was used to the food on the table, but Shang Congjian and his family were unsure which dish to eat first.

The dishes were so lavish that even they, who usually eat delicacies every day, would be dwarfed them.

"Why don't you try this pickled fish first? How does it taste?"

Seeing that they weren't touching their chopsticks, Wang Qing'er suggested that she know the people here weren't very good at cooking fish.

The main reason is that the fishy smell is too strong, just like pig offal, and nobody wants to eat it, including chefs in big restaurants.

So she got a good deal.

Qin Miaomiao smelled the aroma while helping in the kitchen and was already craving it, so she took the first bite of a piece of fish and ate it. After finishing one piece, she immediately ate a second one without saying a word.

"Wife, how does it taste?" Mu Zhicheng asked when his wife didn't speak.

"It's delicious, you guys eat quickly, or I'll finish it all." Qin Miaomiao said without looking up as she continued eating the fish.

Seeing Qin Miaomiao eating happily, Yun Jing also picked up a piece of fish and ate it in small bites. "Delicious! The fish is fresh and tender, with no fishy smell at all!"

After the meal, the group of people slumped in their chairs, rubbing their stomachs, completely lacking any semblance of decorum.

"Burp! Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! You can go back to the county town yourself, I'll stay here and play for a few more days." Qin Miaomiao said to Mu Zhicheng with a burp, completely unconcerned about her image.

"Senior brother, since I still have a few days before I take office, how about we stay at your house for a few more days?" Mu Zhicheng saw that his wife didn't want to go back, so he didn't want to leave either.

"No, you're all here. My wife cooks every meal, and she's exhausted in this heat." Mu Nan refused without hesitation.

"Miaomiao, Yunjing, don't listen to him. Play for as many days as you want. Anyway, I don't have much to do every day. As long as you don't mind that the house is simple, there are rooms available."

It's rare for Wang Qing'er to meet two friends of similar age with whom she can talk. Besides, one is the wife of a county magistrate, and the other is the wife of her future sugar daddy. What's wrong with cooking for them for a few days? It's a great deal!

In particular, Qin Miaomiao's personality was very compatible with hers, while Yun Jing was much more introverted and always listened quietly.

She seems quite innocent at first glance, but I wonder what her relationship with that person really is? I'll have to ask Brother Mu Nan later.

“Sister-in-law, how could we complain? This place is really nice, better than the county town or the capital. I like it very much, it's just a bit of a hassle for you.”

Qin Miaomiao does indeed prefer the mountains and countryside. Her family's estate in the capital is located at the foot of the mountain, and she often stays there for a few days.

Having just arrived in Wuyang County, she hadn't had time to buy a farm yet, and the courtyard in the county town wasn't even a third the size of her home in the capital. So when she came to the Mu family's house and saw the garden full of vegetables, she didn't want to leave.

He also found it very pleasant to get along with Wang Qing'er, as the two were quite compatible.

"Sister-in-law, can you take us to see the scented soap you make now?" Qin Miaomiao asked with her eyes full of curiosity.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

"What fragrant soap? Sister-in-law, you can even make fragrant soap?" Shang Congjian felt as if she had found another business opportunity. No wonder she is a business genius.

"Husband, don't rush. Let us go take a look first, and then we'll see if we can take it to the capital to help your wife sell it. She made tens of thousands of yuan!"

"Tens of thousands of yuan? Sister-in-law, can you take me to see it?" Shang Congjian became even more curious after hearing his wife's words and wanted to go inside to take a look.

Thinking that it was her own courtyard, it wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider to go in. Wang Qing'er herself didn't really care about these things, but she didn't know if her husband would mind.

So she looked at Mu Nan, who nodded gently in agreement.

“Alright, then let’s all come together, Young Master Shang!” Seeing that Mu Nan agreed, Wang Qing’er led Qin Miaomiao and the others to the room in her courtyard where she kept the scented soap.

"Wow! So many scented soaps!" Wang Qing'er walked into the room carrying a lantern and lit the oil lamp.

Qin Miaomiao took a deep breath, smelling the fragrance of the soap. Her dark eyes twinkled like stars in the night sky as she exclaimed in amazement.

"Sister-in-law, so many? You're going to strike it rich!" Shang Congjian picked up a bar of scented soap from the shelf and smelled it. A delicate fragrance filled her nose: "Is this the scent of magnolia blossoms?"

"Young Master Shang has such a keen nose," Wang Qing'er praised with a smile. She hadn't expected Shang Congjian to know about magnolia flowers; he was indeed a well-informed person from the capital.

Shang Congjian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you flatter me. My family also has a cosmetics shop, so I know a little about it."

"Huh! Why are these soaps green? And pink too? Why are there so many colors?" Yun Jing asked curiously, looking at the colorful soaps in front of her.

“Each color represents a fragrance. I’ll take one of each out for you to try and see which fragrance you like best.”

Wang Qing'er walked over to Yun Jing and explained, not wanting to reveal what was added to it yet, as she still wanted to make money from these scented soaps.

If they can see or smell it, that's their skill.
