Qu Qingning's eyes widened and his body became cold. He stared at Su Li's slightly raised lips. Although his appearance had not changed, he felt that the person standing in front of him was not a kind-hearted girl, but a capricious female devil
Hallucination
Qu Qingning shook his head and saw that Su Li was no longer smiling.
It was indeed an illusion.
Without Su Li, Su's house became extremely harmonious, and no conflicts were reported. Su Li was happy to live in peace and quiet in Baiwei Building. It was more convenient to change her clothes and go to Baicao Hall.
After Zhu Yan recovered from her injury, the house was filled with supplements that Su Cui bought for her.
But she still felt uncomfortable!
She worked hard to bribe the goddess, but in the end she only allowed Su Li to change her place of residence, which made her very unwilling. This also made her realize clearly that if Su Li could not be separated from Baiweilou, she would not be able to drive Su Li out of the Su family. But Su Li used cooking skills as a bond, so it was impossible for Su Huanli to let Su Li leave Baiweilou.
"This damn girl, I've never seen her cook before, why is she so good at cooking!"
Zhu Yan bit her lips in hatred. She had now entered a dead end. Fortunately, Su Qingtan still had a year to come back, so she still had enough time to come up with a countermeasure.
Time passed slowly as Su Li continued to improve his medical skills and Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning were busy building a villa.
Nothing special happened for a whole month, and Zhu Yan's belly was slightly bulging. She suddenly became the most important person in the Su family. Su Cui surrounded Zhu Yan almost every day.
During this period, Su Li pretended to be a man and conducted a series of transactions with Su Huanli at Sanhe Bridge. This was already the third transaction since she stole the seasonings. In addition to the money spent on building a villa and purchasing large quantities of raw materials such as glutinous rice, Su Li pretended to be a man. Ninety thousand taels, and there are still 60,000 taels left.
Qi Xianqing still hasn't come back. Su Li doesn't know which battlefield he went to, but wars are always long and cannot end in just a month. She estimates that Qi Xianqing will be gone for at least half a year.
"In my previous life, I was still suffering in the Su family and had no information. I don't know which country Dahan Country is at war with now..."
Various thoughts passed through Su Li's mind. Dahan Country has a large land area and borders three countries. Qinghe County is located in the southernmost part of Dahan Country, adjacent to Nanjiang Country. To the northeast are Zhu Shouguo and Zhu Shouguo, who have strong martial arts. To the northwest is the Kingdom of Tianhe, which is famous for its mechanical skills.
Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning both fled from southern Xinjiang. Logically speaking, there should be war in southern Xinjiang. However, Dasu Town is not far from the border, but it is calm and there is no atmosphere of war. From this, Su Li speculates that the home of the war may be Not here.
Standing on the top floor of Baiwei Tower overlooking the boundless night, Su Li sighed softly.
In such a busy and peaceful month, her cultivation has reached the ninth level of acquired perfection, her aura is extremely mellow, and she is just one step away from entering the innate realm!
If the technique is perfect, it is only a matter of time to practice step by step to the ninth level of the acquired world. However, if you want to cross the chasm and reach the innate level, it depends on your qualifications. Some people with mediocre qualifications may not be able to break through in their lifetime, and are limited by their life span. Stuck for life and death.
With her qualifications, she will not be stuck. Even if she went astray in her previous life, she still reached the innate and even higher realms. It's a pity that the price she paid was too high. In the end, she was accidentally plotted by Su Zipei and ended up in such a miserable end.
On the seventh day when Su Li was working hard for a breakthrough, Qu Qingning finally came to his door.
The courtyard is finally built! !
Arriving at the valley, Su Li saw that the canyon space had indeed been expanded three times. She couldn't help but admire it. She turned back and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest these two days."
Qu Qingning couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard these profound words. In the past month, he had been tortured to death by the Heart-Eating Gu. However, what surprised him was that instead of retreating, his cultivation had made great progress, and his foundation was even better than before. It was much more stable before.
This made him doubt Su Li's true intention, but he also thought it was unlikely. After all, Su Li was not from Southern Xinjiang. Even if he had heard of the Heart-Eating Gu, it was impossible for him to understand the Heart-Eating Gu better than he did.
Su Li had already walked away at this moment and stood in front of the door of the other courtyard.
This villa cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to build, and the materials used were all of the highest quality, even more expensive than Jinyuan. The area is five times larger than Jinyuan, enough to accommodate a hundred people.
"Sister Su Li!" Fang Ling ran over and hugged Su Li. "I chose all the furniture in these rooms. Do you like it, sister?"
"like."
Su Li smiled softly. Since moving to Su Li, Fang Ling has kept up with her nutrition. She has grown a lot taller and her skin has become fairer. She has an eccentric look that is really endearing.
Su Li was thinking like this, but she didn't realize that she was only fifteen years old now, only two or three years older than Fang Ling.
"Miss!"
"The lady is here!"
Hei Dan and others came from the yard in large numbers. They had worked very hard this past month, but because they ate well, they all became stronger and not as skinny and sallow as before.
"How about it? Although these boys have never read a book, they are all very hardworking!"
Qu Qingning came over and said with a smile.
Su Li nodded slightly, "Yes, it's good, but it's far from what I want. I have no time these days, so please pass on your Qu family's cultivation techniques, and at the same time, collect more things on the list. If you collect them all, Now, I’m going to make some medicine to speed up their cultivation process.”
Su Li's understatement made Qu Qingning almost stare out of his eyes in shock!
"You actually know how to make pills?!" Qu Qingning pointed at Su Li and held back a sentence for a while, "Aren't you a poison master? How could you know how to make pills? You are younger than me!"
"Since ancient times, medicine and poison have always been inseparable. You talk too much." Su Li was a little impatient, "Time is tight, why don't you pass on the technique quickly!"
A group of beggars standing in the yard watched the two people talking eagerly. They were all confused and had no idea what this conversation meant to them.
"Ling'er, you should teach them how to read more in the future. Being illiterate is really a problem."
Su Li ordered Fang Ling again. This time the little beggars understood and their eyes lit up. Is it possible that they can read and write like those officials
A month ago, they would have never dared to think of such a good thing.
After explaining the trivial matters, Su Li finally started to do business. She ordered Hei Dan to bring out a bag of glutinous rice, pour it into a basin and wash it. After soaking it for an hour, Fang Yuan came back from Baiweilou and saw this scene, and he was shocked.
Su Li is preparing to cook a new dish
Nowadays, Fang Yuan is in charge of almost everything in Baiweilou. Although shopkeeper Wu is still here, Su Li caught him hiding money. In order not to be sent to the government, he could only follow Su Li's instructions and stay in the restaurant. Put on a show to help hide the truth.
After dealing with Shopkeeper Wu, Su Li had long ignored Baiweilou. However, Su Li did not make false accounts and gave every cent of the profits to the Su family, which made Fang Yuan very puzzled.
"What are you thinking about? Come and help."
At this time, Su Li's voice came. Fang Yuan woke up immediately and ran over quickly. Su Li waved to Heidan and said, "Go to your big brother to learn kung fu, so as not to fall behind."
Now that Hei Dan knew what "Kung Fu" was, he immediately nodded and ran away happily.
"Qu Qingning is teaching Heidan and the others the ancestral skills? That boy has always been the most abiding by the clan rules..."
Fang Yuan was surprised, Su Li glanced at him and said nothing.
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, breathing slightly. That's right, the Qu family is gone, why is Qu Qingning still keeping it a secret? Could it be that one person has to be taken into the ground, not to mention him, even himself...
"I remember that the Qu family's martial arts can be practiced by both men and women. Su Li, why don't you..."
Su Li was slightly startled when he heard this, then shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "That girl Ling'er can learn from me, so I can forget it?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, "You don't want to learn? Although the Qu family's skills are not the best, they are also extremely rare second-level skills in the martial arts world. If you learn them, even if you are just a beginner, you will be able to master the first level of cultivation. Because, there is no problem in self-protection. "
Su Li still shook his head, not wanting to dwell too much on this topic.
Fang Yuan knew that Su Li was extremely stubborn, so he could only sigh inwardly, stopped trying to persuade her, and moved his eyes to Jiang Mi, who was wearing a golden robe in the water.
"You bought a whole warehouse of glutinous rice and a lot of distiller's yeast. Are you planning to make wine this time?"
From the things he had purchased before, it was not difficult for Fang Yuan to guess what Su Li wanted to do, but the wine on the market was already saturated, and there were countless wineries. Even if Su Li used the more expensive Jiangmi to make wine, it would only be so much better than those wines. However, the cost is so high that it is really not worth the loss.
"Why don't you come to help after asking so many questions?"
Su Li did not answer, and Fang Yuan was helpless, but he was also used to the former's face. He walked over, fished out the glutinous rice, poured it into the basket covered with cloth according to Su Li's instructions, and spread it evenly.
boom!
The fire was burning in the stove, and as time went by, bursts of rice fragrance came out. After about half an hour, Su Li asked Fang Yuan to stop, took out all the glutinous rice and let it cool, added the distiller's yeast, stirred evenly, and then put it into a small bowl. The tank was flattened by hand, and soon the tank was installed.
"Next, you and Qing Ning should pay more attention to the wine vat. If the wine comes out, taste it. The wine should not be too sour. If it tastes sweet and sour, call me over."
Su Li gave instructions carefully, and Fang Yuan remembered them firmly and did not dare to miss a word. Although the rice used this time was very small, it was still several hundred taels of silver. He was not a wasteful person.
After finishing her work at the wine jar, Su Li hurried to Baicao Hall to start the consultation. Although the time was a little later than usual, the waiter could still accept it. It was not until midnight that the last patient left. Su Li stretched out and looked at the dark night outside. She moved the door panel and was about to close the door and leave.
Suddenly!
The smell of blood assaulted her nostrils, and a resistance stopped her from closing the door. Su Li's pupils shrank, and she looked down.
Only a pair of hands covered with blood came into her eyes!
