Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

As soon as Qiao Jingjing got home, she rushed into the space.

She quickly removed the stones from the cover and then carefully checked the dryness of the paper. Each sheet was examined meticulously to ensure that no water could be squeezed out.

Next, she carefully tore the paper off and attached it to a flat piece of wood. She picked up a small brush and gently brushed the surface of the paper to make it smoother and more even.

Then, she placed the planks in a well-ventilated area to dry. She was extremely careful throughout the process, knowing that any slight oversight could damage the paper or render it imperfect.

Taking advantage of the time difference, the paper finally dried. Qiao Jingjing looked at her work with satisfaction, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Next, she took out a paper cutter and prepared to cut the papers to the appropriate size. She aligned the dried papers and then gently cut along the edges with the paper cutter, making sure the edges were neat and uniform.

Every cut needed to be precise and meticulous to avoid damaging the paper. Qiao Jingjing was incredibly excited when all the paper was cut.

The papermaking experiment was a huge success! She smiled happily and decided to celebrate properly that night. She planned to cook a big hot pot to treat herself.

I had originally planned to launch a hot pot restaurant and make a fortune. After much deliberation, I decided against it. Perhaps my family will open a restaurant soon, and I should keep such a powerful asset for myself.

Just thinking about hot pot makes my mouth water.

There was hot pot base in the compartment, along with various meatballs and meat rolls. She didn't bother to hide it anymore and took some out, unpacking them and placing them on a plate from home. Don't ask, she said they were bought in the county town.

Remembering the food allowance Xuan Yi had given him, he took out another copper pot, with a divider inside, turning it into a yin-yang pot.

Pour in the built-in charcoal as fuel, and place it directly onto the bottom plate of the fire tube to collect the ashes from the burning charcoal. The small lid can be placed on top of the fire tube to adjust the fire intensity at any time.

They took out another bamboo basket and filled several portions of the side dishes for them, especially the lamb rolls and shrimp paste, which they took extra portions of.

Carrying the copper pot and ingredients, they arrived at Xuan Yi's place, where the three of them, with six eyes, had been eagerly waiting. Qiao Jingjing looked at Tantai Zhou's pitiful yet expectant eyes and was speechless. He was half-dead yesterday, and now he had such a good appetite; it was practically a medical miracle.

Qiao Jingjing placed the copper pot on the table, lit the charcoal, and soon the water in the pot began to boil.

She first placed the two flavors of base sauce on one side, and soon a strong, spicy aroma filled the air. Qiao Jingjing then added all the ingredients to the pot and prepared the dipping sauce for them.

"It smells so good!" Xuan Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't rush, it's not ripe yet," Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

While waiting for the food to cook, Qiao Jingjing pointed out the ingredients and taught them how to eat them, which ones needed to be cooked for a long time, which ones needed to be counted, and she also left some unmixed dipping sauces for them to use according to their own tastes.

During his convalescence, Tantai Zhou couldn't eat spicy food and could only eat mushroom soup. Looking at the delicious food bubbling in the hot red oil soup on the other side, he felt a little aggrieved.

"Miss Qiao, your hot pot is absolutely amazing! I've never eaten anything so delicious before," Xuan Yi exclaimed.

"Heh, you already know it's delicious before you've even tasted it?"

"You can tell it's the right smell from the aroma."

Qiao Jingjing was secretly pleased with herself. She had never seen anyone who could resist the allure of hot pot.

As they were talking, the food in the hot pot was almost cooked.

Qiao Jingjing said, "We can start eating now."

Xuan Yi and Dr. Toyota were very polite and didn't touch their chopsticks until Tantai Zhou took a bite. Qiao Jingjing found it a little strange, but didn't think much of it; it wasn't unreasonable for them to wait for their boss to eat first.

Xuan Yi served some dishes to Tantai Zhou before starting to eat himself. He was so moved by the first bite that he cried.

"Mmm, this lamb roll tastes amazing, so fresh and tender!" "And this shrimp paste is just too delicious!"

Xuan Yi was shocked yet again.

Seeing Tantai Zhou's leisurely manner, Qiao Jingjing assumed he wasn't used to the food, so she prepared another dipping sauce and handed it to him, saying, "If you don't like the taste, dip it in this."

Looking at the delicate hands before him, Tantai Zhou inexplicably recalled the scene of her taking care of him yesterday. At that time, Qiao Jingjing had taken his hands and put them into a hot water bottle, and he couldn't open his eyes. Now, seeing her face overlapping with her actions yesterday, he couldn't help but blush.

"Take it, don't just stand there. It won't taste good if it's overcooked."

Tantai Zhou quickly took the bowl, lowering his head to hide a trace of panic.

Toyota saw this and found it somewhat amusing to hear Miss Qiao's tone. This esteemed Seventh Prince, who was as cold as ice in front of them, was still being manipulated by a little girl.

Five years ago, he was a spirited young man, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, holding a long spear as he galloped across the plains. Years of martial arts training made him look incredibly strong, and his royal status gave him an innate air of nobility that shone brightly like the summer sun.

In that remote borderland, his heroic deeds spread to every corner. Many young women admired this brave and fearless young general.

However, the young man at that time had only one goal in his mind—to achieve merit. He longed to gain personal honor for himself, Tantai Zhou, through his own efforts and courage, not for the achievements of Prince Tantai Zhou. Therefore, he ignored the admiration of those women.

Unexpectedly, after being poisoned and betrayed, even living comfortably for the past five years has become a luxury, let alone having the mind to think about anything else.

His Highness's recovery was remarkably rapid, which puzzled him greatly. As his attending physician, no one knew His Highness's condition better than him. After much thought, he concluded that it was Miss Qiao who had played a role.

However, he saw the medicinal cuisine yesterday, and it was just ordinary medicinal cuisine. It did have some effects, but it shouldn't have such a great effect.

Given His Highness's condition, one would normally expect him to rest for several days to recover. Yet, he is already eating like a normal person, and at least his complexion doesn't look as frightening as it did yesterday, which is truly astonishing.

Could it be that, as he suspected, the secret lies in the bottle of water that Miss Qiao gave him?

As Toyota watched Qiao Jingjing prepare to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Qiao girl, this old man has a question. If you find it difficult, you don't have to answer me."

Qiao Jingjing nodded. "Go ahead and ask."

"The bottle of water you gave me yesterday wasn't ordinary water, was it? To be honest, I secretly tasted it and couldn't tell what was in it."

But you saw the master's condition today, so I'd like to ask you, Qiao family maid, what method did you use to help him recover so quickly?"

Qiao Jingjing guessed he would ask this question, and it just so happened that she also planned to ask about the specific uses of ambergris.

"Oh, I added ambergris." The tone was flat and unremarkable.
