81 Summer Harvest

Time passed by faster and faster. Soon, the summer harvest came. The farmers began a new round of harvesting. Compared to last year’s bleak situation, this time it was happy. A good harvest meant that they could fill their stomachs.

Xiao Hu and the others had a holiday from the academy. Jian Qingqing was also stopped from setting up her stall and had to go to the ground to work.

After moving the rice for a day, Jian Qingqing’s entire body was red and swollen from the work. It was itchy and painful.

Mother Jian rubbed the herbs for her to stop the itch. Old Man Jian laughed happily at the side. “Big Sister has a rich life. She can’t do farm work.”

Jian Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. “We’re not born in a rich family, right? We get used to it after doing a lot of work? When you were young, didn’t you feel itchy after working with the grains? Doesn’t Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye also feel itchy?”

He couldn’t remember what happened when he was young. Who could remember the first time they worked? In Old Man Jian’s memory, he had always been dealing with the land.

Old Man Jian waved his hand, “Alright, alright. Big Sister, you don’t have to go down to the ground tomorrow. We can just do the work. What are you going to do as a girl? You can’t do much work. Besides, if you don’t sell braised meat every day, how much money will you lose?”

Jian Qingqing rolled her eyes. They were the ones who asked her to go down to the ground yesterday. They were afraid that they could not finish with the harvest work.

“No, it doesn’t matter. If I take the ox-cart away, how are you guys going to bring the grain back?”

Old Man Jian disagreed, “If we didn’t have the ox-cart back then, we would still have to carry it back. What’s wrong with losing one of your ox-carts? You can’t do any work, so you might as well go and earn money.”

Jian Qingqing finally understood. So it was because they think that she was useless in the fields. She said helplessly, “It doesn’t matter if I earn less money. It is difficult to work without an ox-cart. Don’t worry, I’ll wear more clothes tomorrow so that I won’t get stabbed.”

Old Man Jian was happy. Big Sister was willing to stop her business because she was afraid that her family would have a hard time without her ox-cart. However, he grumbled, “Then how much less money will we earn?”

Jian Qingqing could see that he was not telling the truth. She sighed helplessly. Why was her grandfather becoming more and more naughty?

The next day, Jian Qingqing tied up her sleeves and wrapped her neck and face. She also wore an extra piece of clothing. Every villager who saw her looked at her with a confused expression.

An aunty, who was in the farm next to them, asked, “Qingqing’s mother, why is Qingqing dressed like this?”

Mother Jian smiled and said, “Her skin is tender, and her body itches when it touches rice.”

The aunt shook her head secretly. The rice is not poisonous, so why would her body itch when it touches the rice?

Then, she thought of something and asked, “Then why isn’t she selling meat? Isn’t that business very profitable? If she goes one day less, she will earn a lot less money, right?”

This question was exactly what Old Man Jian wanted. Without waiting for Mother Jian to answer, he spoke first, “Qingqing was afraid that we would be tired, so she deliberately left the ox-cart behind. Well, she didn’t sell the stewed meat today, so she earns less moeny. However, Qingqing said that money is not as important as the health of our family members. I urged her to do her business, but she still refused.”

Jian Qingqing was speechless. When did she say such a thing? Moreover, if that aunty had a problem, why didn’t she just ask her about it? Why did she have a discussion with her family instead? Why didn’t she know that her grandfather was so good at bragging? Nôv(el)B\\jnn

That aunty also regretted asking this question. She raised her sickle and cut off a piece of rice. It was really infuriating. Why was Qingqing so considerate and knew how to earn money? Yet, her family was lazy all day long, and all they did was eat and sleep.

82 Ripening of Corn

While cutting the rice, Jian Qingqing also took the time to dig up her potatoes. At that time, she only had 1 potato, and with the sprouts, she was able to plant about 20 potatoes. Under each potato, there were 4 to 5 big potatoes and a few small potatoes.

The 20 potatoes only produced less than 200 potatoes. All of these potatoes had to be planted, so she could not grow many. Jian Qingqing sighed. How many more years would it take for her to become a potato tycoon?

Sweet potatoes and yams were better. The vines of sweet potatoes could be cut, and it was very easy to produce a large patch. Yams would produce yam beans, and one yam could produce many beans. When the time came, she could also plant these beans.

The tomatoes and corn were also ripe. She planned to break a few of the corn and fry them. The rest would be left to be planted. The tomatoes would be picked when they were ripe, and the seeds would be left. After some time, they could be planted.

!!

However, there was not enough land for planting. There were so many acres of corn that could be planted. She could also plant a lot of tomatoes. It was time to buy land. She wanted to see if anyone wanted to sell the land after the summer harvest. Barren land was also fine.

Before they came back, Jian Qingqing fried some corn and tomatoes with eggs.

When the Jian Family came back and saw this strange and unfamiliar dish, they hesitated for a moment. “Qingqing, is this really edible? The color is so red. It can’t be poisonous, right?”

Jian Qingqing patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry. I’ve already eaten. It’s fine.”

The adults still did not dare to eat. Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye were also a little hesitant. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jian Qingqing’s gaze turned and looked at the most gluttonous and gullible little wolf. She coaxed, “Xiao Lang, come, Big sister will feed you.”

Xiao Lang was now much bigger than before. He was as strong as a calf and was very energetic. If one did not keep an eye on him, he would cause trouble.

He usually did not allow anyone to feed him, and he usually ate by himself.

However, he was very attached to Jian Qingqing. When he saw his sister calling him, he ran over and bumped into her. His mouth was wide open. “Sister, I want to eat!”

Jian Qingqing scooped up a spoonful of corn and put it in his mouth. “How is it? Is it good?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Xiao Lang swallowed it quickly and shouted, “It’s good!”

Then Jian Qingqing scooped up another spoonful of tomato scrambled eggs. “Is this good?”

Xiao Lang had always been a supportive child. The tomato scrambled eggs tasted good, so he said loudly, “This is good too!”

After getting a satisfactory answer, Jian Qingqing pushed him away. “Alright, go and eat yours.”

Xiao Lang looked at his sister in a daze. Seeing that she had no intention of feeding him anymore, he could only regretfully run back to his seat to eat.

Seeing that Xiao Lang had eaten, Old Man Jian also picked up some corn and put it in his mouth. After a while, he said, “It tastes a little strange and sweet.”

“That’s because you’re not used to it. Once you get used to it, you’ll find it delicious.”

Mother Jian and Jian Dalang also picked up a piece of corn. Mother Jian smiled and said, “I think it’s quite delicious. It’s a little sticky and a little sweet.”

Brother Jian could not tell whether it was delicious or not, so he did not say anything.

They picked up another piece of tomato scrambled eggs. This dish was more acceptable than corn. “It’s sour and sweet. The taste is not bad.”

Jian Qingqing was relieved. She thought that they could not accept the taste of tomatoes. After all, it had a slightly sour taste. At this time, unless the dish was pickled pickled pickled cabbage, it would not be sour.

The corn was rough, and it was not as delicious as sweet corn, so they thought it was strange.

83 Paying Taxes

After harvesting the rice and wheat and drying them in the sun, the farmers would have to pay taxes. Only then would they be able to keep the rest for themselves.

In this dynasty, the taxes were 30 catties of grain per acre of land. Currently, the average output per acre of grain was 200 catties. If the weather was good that year, the output would be higher, and the people would receive more grain.

However, if the Heavens did not give them face and some disaster occurred, the harvest would be greatly reduced. However, the tax would not change, and the people would suffer this year.

Therefore, the people’s greatest wish was for the weather to be good. Due to the drought last year, Shifeng County had another heavy snowfall at the end of the year.

The snow was auspicious for a good year, and the weather this year was very good. From the beginning of spring, it had been drizzling incessantly. The crops that had just been planted had sufficient rainwater and were growing well.

In the summer, there would also be occasional thunderstorms. The basic crops did not lack water. Therefore, the harvest this year was very good. Basically, there were more than 230 catties per acre. The common people could leave behind a lot of grain, so even if they had to pay taxes, everyone’s face was full of joy.

Every household in Jian Village put all the grain that had to pay taxes into the grain drying field, and then agreed to ship it to the county.

This year, with Jian Qingqing’s family’s cattle, there was no need for manpower to pick them. However, the line to the county was still very large. Every household’s children and women would follow them. Usually, it was rare for them to go to the county. After paying taxes, they had to start a new round of summer planting. There was even less time to go, so they all took the opportunity to go on the day of paying taxes.

Jian Qingqing’s family often went to the county town because she set up a stall in the county town, so there was nothing new about going to the county town. The adults did not plan to go, and only the four children went to join in the fun.

When the taxes were paid, it was customary for each family to send another person to check. Since the adults did not go, she could only bring Xiao Lang with her.

Originally, Jian Qingqing did not want to bring Xiao Lang with her, but he was too energetic. Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye could not keep an eye on him, so had no choice but to be in charge of restraining him.

Ads by Pubfuture

She did not know if there was a martial arts school in the county town, so she could send him there to exhaust his energy. Otherwise, leaving him at home would be torture. Xiao Hu was often beaten to tears by him. If he was not only three years old, he was still too young. Jian Qingqing even wanted to throw him into the school.

The line to pay taxes was very long, so it was not their village’s turn yet. Jian Qingqing calculated the time and decided to go shopping before coming back. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to wait here.

She first went to buy two buns for Xiao Lang and said helplessly, “How can you eat so much? How long has it been since you ate breakfast?”

Xiao Lang ate one bun in two bites and said coquettishly, “I’m hungry.”

Jian Qingqing felt that he was almost heavier than Xiao Ye. She was really worried that he would become a little fatty in the future, but he was really hungry. His stomach rumbled, and he had no choice but to eat it. Thinking of how skinny he looked when she first saw him, could it be that he was eating too much?

Seeing that his clothes were a little short, Jian Qingqing took him to the tailor to buy a few ready-made clothes.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jian Qingqing brought Xiao Lang along to the tax area. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After measuring the weight, she passed the household registration to the official. Seeing that he had stamped it, the taxes were paid.

The place to pay the taxes was in the field outside the county office. Jian Qingqing kept the household registration and went into the county office to ask if there was any land for sale.

The officer took her to the office of the registrar. Jian Qingqing asked Xiao Lang to wait outside the door and told him not to run around, so she went in to check out the lands for sale.

84 Buying Land

“My Lord, is there any land for sale near the Jian Family Village?” Jian Qingqing’s smiling voice rang out.

The registrar glanced at her and lowered his head to flip through a big book. After a long while, he said, “There are 100 acres of good land and 200 acres of dry land. How much do you want?”

Jian Qingqing was slightly surprised. How could there be so much land for sale after the summer harvest? Usually, these large plots of land were held in the hands of the big landlord.

The registrar seemed to see through her thoughts and said, “This was left behind by the Huang family after they were exiled.”

!!

Jian Qingqing understood. No wonder, but it was exactly what she wanted. She smiled and said, “I want 20 acres of dry land and 10 mu of paddy fields.”

The registrar nodded and took over her household registration for her to handle.

Jian Qingqing did not expect things to go so smoothly. In less than 25 minutes, it was done.

She smiled and went out, but she did not expect Xiao Lang to disappear. Her expression changed.

The officer waiting at the side hurriedly said, “Xiao Lang left with our county magistrate. He specially asked me to inform you.”

It turned out that Xiao Lang had just sat on the ground and saw Ming Zhiyan from afar. His eyes lit up. He remembered that this was the brother who had a big horse, so he chased after him.

Ming Zhiyan was about to go to the training field to watch the officers and soldiers practice martial arts. When he saw Xiao Lang appear here, he was surprised. Xiao Lang explained that he had followed his sister to buy land. Ming Zhiyan had an officer wait there to inform Jian Qingqing, then, he brought Xiao Lang to the training field. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When Jian Qingqing followed the officer and arrived, she saw that Xiao Lang was in the half-squat stance. She was surprised by this.

Ming Zhiyan was patrolling the officers and soldiers practicing martial arts, he nodded at her when he saw her.

Jian Qingqing leaned against the big tree and watched the military training of this dynasty. It was not like modern times where there were all kinds of obstacles to train with. The military training here was people fighting with people, or like the Shaolin Kung Fu that she had seen before, where they held long sticks and practiced martial arts.

15 had passed, and Xiao Lang was still sitting in the horse stance obediently. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his calves were still trembling.

Jian Qingqing could not believe it at all. What did Ming Zhiyan do to make him so obedient? He was practically a child with ADHD at home. He followed the adults to the ground, and in a short while, he was covered in mud.

When no one was paying attention, he would take out a toad or a frog from some unknown hole. Once, he even caught a snake with his bare hands and showed it to Mother Jian as if it was a treasure. Mother Jian was scared out of her wits.

When he returned home, he was eager to fight with his brothers. His strength was so great that even the Xiao Hu could not beat him.

When he had completed the half-squat stance for 15 minutes, Ming Zhiyan let him get up.

Xiao Lang walked over to Jian Qingqing with trembling legs and leaned on her body.

Jian Qingqing took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and asked gently, “How are you? Are you tired?”

Xiao Lang shook his head and said loudly, “I’m not tired!”

Jian Qingqing was speechless.

This kid’s energy was bottomless.

She pushed him away from her body and said, “Then you can continue to perform the half-squat stance.”

Xiao Lang cried out and hugged her tightly.

Jian Qingqing looked at Ming Zhiyan curiously and asked, “Sir, how did you get him to do the stance so obediently?”

Ming Zhiyan shook his head and said, “No, it’s not because I asked him to do it, but because he loves to practice martial arts. He’s a good seedling to practice martial arts.”

Jian Qingqing looked at Xiao Lang in surprise and asked, “You like to practice martial arts?”

Xiao Lang nodded and said loudly, “Yes!”

85 Xiao Lang’s Martial Arts

Jian Qingqing nodded. “Originally, I wanted to send you to practice martial arts, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to go. Now, it seems that you don’t have to worry.”

Practicing martial arts was very tiring. The same movements had to be repeated thousands of times a day, and the horse stance or half-squat would take several hours. Not only was it tiring, but it was also very boring. Without perseverance, it was impossible to persist.

Xiao Lang shouted loudly, “I want to practice, I want to practice! Brother Ming, you said that as long as I complete the horse stance, you would teach me martial arts. So now that I have completed the horse stance, can I practice martial arts with you?”

Ming Zhiyan looked at his expectant eyes and nodded. “Every day, you have to come here.”

Hearing the exact answer, Xiao Lang cheered, “Sister, did you hear that? I’m going to practice martial arts in the future!”

Jian Qingqing asked incredulously, “Sir, are you really going to teach him martial arts?”

She originally wanted to send him to the dojo, but the people in the dojo were definitely not as powerful as Ming Zhiyan. If he was willing to teach him, Xiao Lang would really be lucky.

Ming Zhiyan nodded. “He’s very talented. The dojo in the county can’t teach him anything, so they will just waste his talent.”

Jian Qingqing happily said to Xiao Lang, “Xiao Lang, quickly thank Lord Ming.”

Xiao Lang loudly thanked, “Thank you, Brother!”

When they returned home, the Jian Family members were all stunned when they heard Jian Qingqing say that not only did she buy land, but Xiao Lang had also learned martial arts from the County Magistrate.

They did not understand how they had only gone out for a day and had already accomplished two major things.

Jian Qingqing said, “Grandpa, should we hire people to farm the land? There seems to be quite a lot of land this year.”

Old Man Jian shook his head and said, “Who can we hire? How much can there be in that little bit of land? The few of us can finish the work. Hiring people will also cost money.”

Jian Qingqing nodded. “Alright, then I’ll leave that cow to you guys. I’ll go buy another one.”

The cow did not need to be very good to haul goods. Any cow in the bull market was fine as long as it was not sick.

The next day, Jian Qingqing went to the bull market early in the morning. The manager who had been flattering Butler Huang earlier ran away with a guilty conscience when he saw her.

Ads by Pubfuture

Jian Qingqing sneered in her heart. A villain was a villain. There was no need to stoop to their level.

This time, the one who served Jian Qingqing was still Manager Zhang. After hearing her request, he chose a cow of decent quality for her. Jian Qingqing pulled the cow and went home.

The Jian Family Village was already used to the arrogance of the Jian Qingqing family. They did not feel anything. However, what shocked them was that the Jian Rong family was going to build a house!

Who was Jian Rong? He was just an eight-year-old child. His father had passed away early. There was only his widowed mother and a sick grandmother in the family. It could be said that the conditions in the village were the most difficult. How could he afford a house just like that?

Everyone went to ask around and found out that it was Jian Rong who had earned it from doing business!

They also knew that Jian Rong had done business with Jian Qingqing. He bought stewed meat from her and then sold it elsewhere.

They had originally sneered at this. How much could he sell if he spent so much money buying stewed meat? How could he make money from this? Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, now, reality had slapped them in the face. Not only could they make money, but they could also make a lot of money!

For a moment, the villagers’ hearts began to stir. More and more people came to Jian Qingqing to inquire about business.

After Jian Qingqing told them the conditions, the price of the stewed meat alone brushed off many people.

Although they had made a lot of money selling the Iron-skinned Dendrobium, the Dendrobium had already been sold out. The newly grown ones still needed a few more years to mature.

In the short term, they did not have any income. They were also frightened by natural and man-made disasters over the years, so they wanted to save their money. They did not dare to invest too much money.

Only a few wealthy families wanted to give it a try. The Village Chief’s family was one of them.

The stewed meat business had a very high saturation limit. Whether it was the initial 40 catties or the later 200 catties, as long as it was sold, it would be sold out. Therefore, even if there were more sellers, she would still make money.

Later on, there were a few more stores in the county that had signs that were exactly the same as Jian Qingqing’s stewed meat sore. They started to surround her, selling the same kind of stewed meat.

For a moment, the people in the county were overjoyed. Jian Qingqing’s stewed meat was originally delicious. They had to snatch the meat from her store. If they were too late, there would be no more. Now that there were a few more stores, there was no need to snatch it.

Everyone had grain after the summer harvest, so the price of grain had dropped. It was almost the same price as before. The price of meat had also dropped. Jian Qingqing had also lowered the price of stewed meat.

!!

Everyone had money. The price of stewed meat had dropped, and more people came to buy it.

The taste of the dishes in this era was still very bland. In the families, there was generally no use of spices in cooking. All the flavors were the original flavor of the dishes. At most, they would add a little salt. It was very bland, that was why they never got tired of Jian Qingqing’s thick-flavored stewed meat.

In summer, it was the season for fruits to ripen. Plums, peaches, and pears were all over the mountain. Jian Qingqing used them to make a pot of canned fruit. The taste was not bad. It was ice-cold and sweet. Children loved to eat it.

She took the canned food with her to set up a stall. It was unexpectedly popular. Many servants from large families would buy it back for their young misses and young masters to eat. They were afraid that she would not make it clean, and the fruit inside was not good fruit either, when the young masters and young ladies got sick from eating, there were still people who wanted to buy the recipe back so they could do it themselves.

Ads by Pubfuture

Jian Qingqing did not hide it either. It was 20 taels per serving. These people had money, so they simply gave her the money and took the recipe back. She made a small amount of money from these.

In the past few months, she had earned quite a lot of money, but she did not spend much. There were more than 100 taels. In this era, it could be considered a huge amount of money.

If she did not spend the money, it would be dead money. There was no use in saving it, and it could not generate money. She still had to spend it. Therefore, Jian Qingqing bought a large courtyard in the county town. It was the kind with a shop in the front. After buying a house, she did not set up a stall. Instead, she sold it in her own shop. She named it the ‘Jian’s Food Shop’ and hired people to look after the shop for her. She also hired people to cook the stewed meat in the backyard, so she did not have to work so hard to transport it from the village to the county town.

This was how the rich people operated. She no longer needed to be exposed to the wind and the sun. In the past few months, they had been traveling back and forth between the village and the county town under the bright sun. Even though they had taken great care to protect themselves from the sun, their faces became as black as stewed eggs, while the skin that was covered by the clothes was white and tender. Their skin tones were at two extremes.

In the autumn, the crops matured again, and a new round of harvesting began. The year after the harvest was considered to be a good one.

One day, a group of children came looking for Jian Qingqing with a pile of citron. Jian Qingqing looked at the ugly pile of citron, and only then did she remember what she had told the group of children previously. At that time, she had asked them to remember the location, she did not expect them to pick them for her.

Under their expectant gazes, Jian Qingqing gave each of them a handful of candy. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The citron was ugly, and the flesh was not very good. Jian Qingqing tasted it. It was very sour, but it also had the fragrance of lemon and orange. She used it to make lemon chicken feet and duck claws. It tasted very good, she added this dish to Jian’s Food Shop.

The food shop also made stewed chicken roasted duck, so she would use the claws to make lemon claws.

87 Tomatoes

This autumn, what made Jian Qingqing most excited was that her crops had all matured!

Yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn, and so on could all be eaten!

As for the use of these crops, she had a very great dream, and that was to hope that they could be extended to all of Great Wei Kingdom, and even the whole world!

Just her family eating it was not enough. If she wanted other people to accept it, so she had to have convincing proof.

!!

This unique candidate was Ming Zhiyan.

First, he was a member of the imperial court. If the imperial court said that it could be eaten by the people, they would definitely believe that it could be eaten.

Ads by Pubfuture

Second, Ming Zhiyan was the person with the highest status that she knew. As a County Magistrate, if she wanted to spread it to the whole country, she had to first spread it in Shifeng County. Having the highest official in this place to advertise for her was the best.

She did as she was told. She first took the tomatoes to test the water.

Tomatoes were the most difficult to preserve. Moreover, they were vegetables from the current season. After giving Ming Zhiyan to eat, she could immediately put them on the shelves in her food shop. She could not sell the rest to him. She still had to keep them for planting. She would wait until next year’s large-scale planting before giving them to him to eat.

Xiao Lang went to the county office every day to practice martial arts with Ming Zhiyan. His energy had all been vented here. He was not so naughty when he went home.

Jian Qingqing took the tomatoes when she went to the county office to pick him up. When Xiao lang saw that his sister was still not leaving after picking him up, he urged, “Sister, go home quickly. What are you doing here?”

Jian Qingqing patted his head and asked the officer beside her, “Officer, Big Brother, is the County Magistrate free?”

The officer was already very familiar with Jian Qingqing. He knew that her relationship with the County Magistrate was extraordinary. If she wanted to see the County Magistrate, he would meet her even if he was not free. So the officer said directly, “If you are free, do you want to see the Magistrate?”

Jian Qingqing nodded and followed the official to meet Ming Zhiyan.

Ming Zhiyan was writing an official document. Seeing her come in, he nodded lightly. “Miss Jian, what’s the matter?”

“Lord Ming, I’ve brought you some food.”

Jian Qingqing would always bring her new food inventions to Ming Zhiyan, so he was not surprised. He nodded and said, “Put it on the table first. I’ll eat it after I’m done.”

Jian Qingqing did not put it on the table like he wanted. Instead, she took out the tomatoes in the basket and showed them to Ming Zhiyan. “Sir, take a look.”

Ming Zhiyan was surprised. “What is this?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ever since he became the County Magistrate, he often had to go to the countryside to persuade the farmers to plant fruit trees. Therefore, he knew all the plants that were often planted in Shifeng County, but he had never seen this red fruit.

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “This is a tomato. It can be eaten as a vegetable or raw. I found it on a mountain before. Later, I planted it in my own house. This year, I planted a lot of it. It tastes pretty good. Sir, do you want to try it?”

Xiao Lang said excitedly, “This is super delicious! Brother Ming, you must eat it!”

Ming Zhiyan was very familiar with his foodie attribute. Even if he said that it was delicious, it might not be delicious. However, he still believed in Jian Qingqing. He nodded and said, “Then stay. I’ll get the chef to cook it before eating it tonight.”

“Okay! This tomato and egg are the best when fried together. If it’s fried with eggs, it’s called tomato fried egg.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded seriously. “Okay, I’ll remember it. I’ll get the chef to cook it tonight.”

Then, he asked casually, “Do you grow a lot of this at home?”

Jian Qingqing was waiting for him to ask this question! She suppressed her excitement and pretended to be melancholic. “Yes, a lot of them. It’s two acres of land. I wanted to plant it and sell it, but I didn’t expect that no one else had eaten it. They might not accept it. What if they can’t sell it? Wouldn’t it start to rot in the ground?”

Ming Zhiyan glanced at her and ignored her scheming. He said directly, “Send some to the county office tomorrow.”

Jian Qingqing cheered, “Thank you, Lord Ming. You’re a good person!”

She did not expect that her poor acting skills could fool Ming Zhiyan, to begin with. He was such a smart person, but she could not just ask whether she could sell the tomatoes directly to him.

In Jian Qingqing’s heart, Ming Zhiyan was gentle, kind, and helpful. He was a good official who cared about the people. In short, all the beautiful words could be used to describe him.

Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, he definitely understood what she meant, and he would help her.

As expected, tomorrow she would be able to label the tomatoes as vegetables specially provided by the county office. Even the County Magistrate said that they were delicious. Are you sure you don’t want to buy some?

Ads by Pubfuture

As expected, when they heard that this dish was so amazing that even the County Magistrate felt that it was delicious, the tomatoes were quickly sold out.

Jian Qingqing gave them several tomato recipes and asked them to plant the seeds. Soon, they could eat them.

For a time, scrambled eggs with tomatoes were all over Shifeng County. Everyone was proud of having eaten this dish, so it was essential to entertain guests.

Jian Qingqing even set up a limited sale in the end. It was the best method to attract sales. People would always want what they can’t get.

Thus, the reputation of the tomato became even greater.

Jian Qingqing took the opportunity to persuade people to plant the tomato. When it was red, they could eat it.

Seeing that the tomato was so popular, those who did not think much of it and only wanted to try it fresh all planted the tomato. When the time came, it would be very honorable to invite people to enjoy the tomato.

The tomato spread to the entire Shifeng County at a speed Jian Qingqing did not expect. It was only a matter of time before it spread to other places.

After solving the problem of the tomatoes, the most important thing now was to deal with the chilies. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She had brought a large bag of dried chilies to the kitchen with her. They had all been planted in the spring, and the germination rate was not bad. She picked about 50 catties of red chilies, and there were still many unripe chilies left.

The chilies were picked out of the seeds to be used as seeds. The rest had to be made into chili sauce, chili powder, dried chilies, and so on.

Autumn had arrived, and winter would be around the corner.

When it was cold, the family would gather together to eat a hot and spicy hotpot. The taste could not be any more wonderful.

However, although the chili was delicious, it was not that easy to process it.

Jian Qingqing had only chopped the chili for half a day, but she already felt that her hands were also hot and spicy. Her eyes kept on tearing up. Even after soaking her hands in cold water for half a day, it was still hot and painful.

Seeing this, Mother Jian said with heartache, “Big Sister, why don’t you stop tormenting yourself? Can you eat that thing with such spiciness?”

Jian Qingqing grimaced at the spiciness, but she still said confidently, “Don’t worry! If you eat it, you definitely won’t be able to stop!”

Mother Jian thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you use the stone mortar to hit the chilis? If you stand further away, you won’t be hurt by the spiciness.”

Jian Qingqing’s eyes lit up and she said in surprise, “Mother, you’re really smart!”

Mother Jian was embarrassed by her straightforward words. She smiled shyly and said, “Do you want me to help you?”

Jian Qingqing waved her hand and said, “No need!”

89 Spicy Stewed Meat

After using the stone mortar, the speed was much faster, and it was not too harsh. Jian Qingqing spent a day to make the hot sauce and stored it in a large clay pot for fermentation.

There were many uses for hot chilis. Almost all dishes could be added with hot chilis. It was simply a blessing for the humid and cold areas in winter.

Jian Qingqing added the chilies into the stewed meat. They were divided into three types, mild, medium, and heavy. She only made five catties of each and gave them to the customers who came to buy stewed meat for free.

The stewed meat with chilies was cut into small pieces and placed in a wooden basin. It was placed in the most eye-catching position in the shop to ensure that every customer who entered the shop could see it. Jian Qingqing stood to the side to promote the sale.

The moment the shop opened, a group of people came in. When they saw Jian Qingqing, they were surprised for a moment. Then, they smiled and said, “Why is Lady Jian here? You haven’t been here for a long time.”

After Jian Qingqing opened the shop, she basically handed it over to the workers. She rarely came.

She smiled embarrassedly and said, “I’ve come up with a new product today. Do you all want to try it?”

The customers were delighted and said happily, “Of course we want to try it. Who doesn’t know that Lady Jian’s dishes are the best? What new product is it? Let’s have a look.”

Jian Qingqing made a ‘please’ gesture and showed the stewed meat beside her to the guests. She smiled and said, “Here, this is it!”

The guests looked at the three pots of stewed meat and said doubtfully, “Isn’t this stewed meat?”

“Yes, Lady Jian, are you trying to deceive us?”

Jian Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “This is stewed meat, that’s right. You’ll know if it’s a new dish after you try it. I suggest you try it from the first pot. “The first pot was slightly spicy.

A guest took the chopsticks, hesitantly picked up a piece of meat, and put it into her mouth. She chewed it a few times and said, “It seems to be a little different. It seems…”

The guest seemed to be thinking about what word to use to express it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“There’s a spicy taste? But it’s not the spicy taste of ginger.” She shook her head and said, “It’s really strange.”

Jian Qingqing smiled slightly and said, “Would you like to try the remaining two pots?”

This time, the customer did not hesitate to pick up the second pot of meat and eat it. She quickly said, “This one is a little spicier than the previous one.”

Then, she picked up the third pot and put it into her mouth. She frowned and opened her mouth to let out a breath. She wanted to spit it out but was reluctant to. She quickly chewed twice and swallowed it. “Water! Give me water quickly!”

The other customers were shocked by her reaction and quickly asked, “What’s going on? What kind of taste does this meat have?”

Jian Qingqing quickly handed over a glass of water. The guest drank the water in one go and finally felt better, she took a deep breath and said, “This is much spicier than the previous two pots. When I put it in my mouth, I felt like my tongue was on fire. However, after eating it, I actually feel great!”

At this point, the guest looked at Jian Qingqing and asked curiously, “Lady Jian, what did you put in this stewed meat? Why is it so spicy?”

Jian Qingqing explained with a smile, “This is a red fruit that I happened to get. I call it chili. It’s extremely spicy when eaten raw, but when put into a dish as a seasoning, it’s the best. When it’s cold, it’ll heat up your whole body.”

The other customers had not tried it yet, so when they heard this, they asked suspiciously, “Is it really that magical?”

Jian Qingqing did not explain further, but only said, “Everyone, try it and you’ll know if what I said is true.”

The guests were no longer polite and started to taste the spicy stewed meat.

Jian Qingqing stood aside and observed their reactions. If someone could not stand it, she would pass the water over.

The guests all tried it once. Among the 20 guests, 2 could not even stand the degree of mild spiciness. 3 could only accept mild spiciness, 15 could accept medium spiciness, and 5 could accept heavy spiciness.

Among the 5, two said that heavy spiciness was only average spiciness, and could also accept even more spiciness.

However, even the 2 who could not even accept mild spiciness felt that the spiciness was delicious and made people want to eat it again. Seeing that the two were still eager to try it, Jian Qingqing laughed.

She recorded their reactions and suggestions and planned to adjust the different degrees of spiciness and the amount of stewed meat with each degree of spiciness.

“Okay, if you like it, you are welcome to buy it tomorrow!”

The guests smiled and said, “Of course, of course!”

These guests were all regulars and they liked Jian Qingqing quite a lot. They felt that although this girl was young, she was polite and knew her limits. She spoke funny and treated them with great respect.

With chili, there were many types of stewed vegetables. Stewed duck head, duck heart, duck neck, duck feet, duck intestines, duck wings, chicken wings, and so on. They could be eaten as dishes or as snacks.

Jian’s Food Shop was very famous in Shifeng County, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going every day. It would even be considered successful in modern times. It was not that there had not been rich people who wanted to set their sights on this food shop. After all, these foods were selling so well every day. However, they found out that behind this shop was the County Magistrate, and they had no choice but to give up. Ming Zhiyan was a good official in the eyes of the common people. However, in the eyes of those rich people who did not have good intentions, he was a complete devil.

At the end of October, all the corn, yams, sweet potatoes, and potatoes were collected and piled up in two rooms.

Jian Qingqing took some for Ming Zhiyan to eat. She wanted to get these things over with. After all, she wanted the whole village to plant these crops next year.

Ming Zhiyan looked at the things in the basket that he had never seen before and asked curiously, “What are these things?”

Jian Qingqing smiled like a flower and said, “These are high-yield crops. Each of them can produce more than 500 catties per acre.”

Hearing this, Ming Zhiyan’s face, which had been calm all these years, cracked a little. He asked in surprise, “What did you say?”

Jian Qingqing repeated the words.

Ming Zhiyan’s face turned completely cold. His sharp eyes stared at Jian Qingqing deeply, as if a ferocious beast was locking its prey tightly.

Jian Qingqing was shocked. A cold light rose behind her back. She asked in a trembling voice, “What, what is it?”

She had never seen anyone with such an imposing manner. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if they could swallow her up in the next second. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ming Zhiyan had restrained his imposing manner, he asked with a gloomy expression, “Where did you get these things?”

Jian Qingqing finally realized why his expression had changed just now. It seemed that he suspected that there was something wrong with her identity. She had to answer this properly, or she would be accused of being a spy if she was not careful.

She pretended that she did not understand the meaning of his words. She said innocently and happily, “I dug up this yam when I was on the mountain. At that time, I was digging for mushrooms and accidentally dug up these two. You know, at that time, everyone was so hungry that they ate tree roots. How could they care about whether it was poisonous or not? Seeing that it was tender and wet, I boiled it and ate it. I didn’t expect it to taste good. Later, I took it to grow and found that its yield was very high.”

She had planted the yams in the mountains, so she was not afraid that people would check.
