She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Wu Yong's serious demeanor made Wang Erma realize the possibility of something going on.

But then he hesitated, afraid that Wu Yong wouldn't believe him if he spoke, and also feeling that he would lose face.

To think that he, a grown man, was nearly killed by that little wench Qin Yu, holding him underwater, was incredibly embarrassing.

“If we join forces, their family of orphans and widows will definitely be no problem!” A wicked glint flashed in Wu Yong’s eyes.

"But..." Wang Erma was still somewhat shaken.

"But what? If you succeed, that woman's reputation will be ruined. She'll be dependent on you from now on. The money and the woman will be yours, and you can do whatever you want with her!"

Wu Yong only used Wang Erma to ruin Qin Yu. Just as he said, Qin Yu's reputation will be ruined by then, and he will be at their mercy!

Lu Chen will obediently hand over whatever money he has left. He can slowly raise the two younger ones. There are plenty of children who can't be raised, so these are not problems!

Although Wang Erma thought about the time she was beaten by her last time, he realized that he was already in such a miserable state that nothing could be worse.

No one helped me last time, but someone will help me this time. That woman definitely won't be able to fight back!

Thinking about this, his resolve became even stronger.

Seeing his expression, Wu Yong knew that things had gone well, and the two of them burst into laughter.

At this moment, Qin Yu had no idea what was about to happen.

Thinking about Wu Yong, before it got completely dark, I went to the bamboo forest, cut down two bamboo stalks, chopped them into pieces, sharpened them, and buried them under the window and the fence.

With Lu Zhou's help, everything was arranged before dinner.

The night was quiet, and the village returned to tranquility.

A gentle spring breeze blows, and the morning air is quite fresh.

The weather is still a bit chilly.

Qin Yu was collecting fish and making fish balls as usual, carrying two packets of braising spices. Lin Erniu's oxcart was also parked in front of her door.

Today I'm going to Yunlaiju to teach their chef how to make braised dishes; it will take quite a while.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Lu's mother to cook for herself and not to wait for her.

Lu's mother nodded and watched her leave, then turned and went inside to take care of the two children.

We boarded the horse and arrived at the market.

Xu Shaoting acted quickly; following her instructions, he had already spread the word that the mushrooms were poisonous.

I hear about this every two steps I take on the street.

There have been more mushroom vendors lately.

As she expected, everyone thought that Yunlaiju was deliberately fabricating such a story out of resentment.

The mushroom seller also says the same thing to the customers, fearing that his mushrooms will not sell.

Qin Yu knew that this trend would soon change.

"Sister-in-law Lu, everyone says mushrooms are poisonous, is that true?" Lin Erniu's carriage also had a small basket of mushrooms on it.

Qin Yu had also seen it; ever since she mentioned that Lin Erniu could pick them to sell, he had indeed picked quite a few.

Lin Erniu was completely confused when he heard the vendors talking about this. He was genuinely afraid, and he was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to sell his wares.

Qin Yu glanced at the box to make sure there were no poisonous items before speaking.

"Mushrooms come in both poisonous and non-poisonous varieties. These you picked are all non-poisonous, so you can sell them with confidence!"

Lin Erniu was relieved after hearing this.

He happily took Qin Yu to Yunlai Residence to sell mushrooms at the market.

Yunlaiju has set aside a space in its kitchen specifically for storing pig offal.

Xu Shaoting stood to the side with a look of disgust, covering his nose and closing his eyes.

Seeing Qin Yu enter, he quickly walked forward.

"You've finally arrived! I went to the slaughterhouse early this morning to get some fresh pigs, and I also got quite a bit of pig's blood, just like you said. Please take a look and tell me how to prepare this!"

Qin Yu calmly put the things away, then turned around, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work!

Chef Zhang and Manager Lu stood behind her watching, completely unexpected that she would teach them step by step, and for a moment they could hardly believe it.

Qin Yu didn't care at all and taught them step by step how to clean the food and remove the fishy smell.

Chef Zhang and his assistants learned diligently.

After cleaning them thoroughly, I started blanching and braising them, teaching them step by step.

Pig's blood is cooled in cold water to solidify, then boiled to make blood tofu.

"Pig's blood can be cooked on its own, or it can be added to oden!"

Qin Yu spoke as he worked.

Xu Shaoting was quite surprised to see that the foul-smelling substance in Qin Yu's hand had lost its odor after she processed it.

I was surprised when she told me that it could also be put into oden; I never thought it could be done that way.

Seeing this, he felt that what was in Qin Yu's mind was truly amazing.

These unwanted items were transformed into treasures in her hands; it was truly miraculous.

"Alright, here are two spice packets. Boil them, let them sit, then boil them again. Let them sit for a few hours to make them even more flavorful!"

Qin Yu finished everything and then wiped his hands clean.

Xu Shaoting nodded appreciatively and gestured to the upstairs.

Qin Yu followed Xu Shaoting up to the second floor.

Xu Shaoting took out a contract and placed it in front of her.

"As you said, we should handle things officially to avoid unnecessary trouble. This is all written according to your requirements and conditions. Would you like me to read it to you?"

Qin Yu shook his head and picked up the paper to read it.

According to their agreement, the braising spices would cost 20 coins per packet, which was quite a high price.

Payment is settled monthly; you are paid for the number of packs sold in a month.

The method for making pig's blood was a gift from her.

The agreement stipulated a three-year buyout period of 500 taels of silver. During these three years, he would make it unique and forbade her from selling the braised pig's blood and fish balls to anyone else; otherwise, he would have to pay 2,000 taels in compensation!

There were no objections to any of this, so she simply signed her name.

Xu Shaoting was surprised that Qin Yu could read, and also surprised that Qin Yu's handwriting was very beautiful.

He assumed that she was just a peasant woman and probably couldn't read.

Now he felt that his guess must be right, Qin Yu must be someone's mistress!

He pushed five hundred taels in front of her.

"We're in the same boat now, I don't know how you're going to face the Jin Gui Restaurant!"

These three years of exclusive deals mean that, no matter what, they will have to face the Golden Palace Restaurant. Given the Golden Palace Restaurant's style, they will not allow Xu Shaoting to have a monopoly.

"Lin Jingui is riding high right now. Regardless of whether there's been a poisoning incident or not, as long as I have a new product, he'll only try to suppress and frame me. Naturally, I'll meet force with force and water with water. If he's shameless, I'll be even more shameless than him!"

Xu Shaoting couldn't think of a good method for a while, but he was confident he could handle those who plotted against him in the restaurant.

He simply couldn't pull off some of those shameless tactics.

His family was indeed not as wealthy as the Lin family, and after thinking it over, he still didn't know what to do!

He tried to find the government, but the official was a regular at the Jingui Restaurant, and everyone knew that Lin Jingui and the official were in cahoots. He couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

"Alright, let's see what you're capable of. I have to go now!"
