Inside the room, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao stared at each other. Qian Jiujiu looked obviously unhappy: "Mu Yexiao, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Mu Yexiao looked confused and innocent: "I don't know what Jiuer meant by intentional?"
"Did I trip over you on purpose and fall? Or did I purposely protect you by cushioning my own flesh when I fell?"
"Or did I kiss you on purpose? And did I let Nanny Wan see it on purpose?"
Qian Jiujiu was furious. Wasn't Mu Yexiao trying to say that she was being ungrateful after getting the advantage? Wasn't that right? Mu Yexiao was obviously doing it on purpose.
Staring at Mu Yexiao with a pair of round eyes: "You still don't admit it?"
Mu Yexiao looked even more innocent: "But I really didn't mean it. Jiuer, don't wrongly accuse me."
Qian Jiujiu snorted, "I am wrongly accusing you. You are guilty yourself. You may not have noticed that every time you feel guilty in front of me, you always say this king."
"Only when you are honest will you tell me that your words have betrayed you."
Qian Jiujiu said this with gritted teeth, but Mu Yexiao thought about it and felt that it was true. He couldn't help but look at Qian Jiujiu happily: "Oh, Jiuer knows me so well."
"Yes, I did it on purpose. Jiuer tastes very good."
Seeing that Mu Yexiao's face no longer had an innocent look, but instead had an expression of matter-of-factness, Qian Jiujiu felt even more upset. What could she do to Mu Yexiao
Before I could figure out the question, I heard Qinglian's voice coming from outside: "Madame Wan, why are you standing here? Have you seen the princess?"
Nanny Wan made a gesture to Qinglian, "Speak softly," and asked, "What do you want to see the princess for?"
Qinglian didn't understand why she had to speak more quietly, but she still lowered her voice obediently: "Yue Niang is here to see the princess and report on the store's situation today!"
Nanny Wan said, "Go and ask Yue Niang to wait in the side hall. The princess will be here soon."
Qinglian immediately let out a sigh, then turned and left. Qian Jiujiu inside heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that Qinglian had left, and glared at Mu Yexiao again.
"Just wait for me..."
After saying that, she suddenly opened the door and looked at Nanny Wan: "Mom, I heard everything. Let's go and ask together."
Nanny Wan didn't say anything, just nodded, glanced at Mu Yexiao inside, and then was pulled away by Qian Jiujiu. Mu Yexiao turned around to look at the figures of the mother and daughter.
His face was full of worry. It seemed that Qian Jiujiu was determined to leave. With a sigh, Dongchen appeared in front of him silently.
At this time, Qian Jiujiu had already come to the side hall with Nanny Wan, and saw Yue Niang. Yue Niang still had a happy look on her face as she looked at Qian Jiujiu.
"Yue Niang greets the princess and pays respects to her."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "You seem to be in a good mood, is the store's profit good today?"
Yue Niang said with a happy face: "Princess, you know everything. Yes, the business of both stores is very good, especially Shengyan Hall, which is almost out of stock."
"There is also Yangshengtang. The pills there are selling very well, but only a few people come to see the doctor."
"There's no rush for this. After all, it's only the first day. Everyone needs to observe and won't rush in. You should remind Madam Song and Miss Fang."
"Don't be so anxious. Also, remember not to disclose anything about the guest, including their medical condition. Got it?"
Yue Niang listened to Qian Jiujiu's words and nodded immediately: "Yue Niang understands."
Qian Jiujiu was concerned about another thing: "Since business is good, do you have enough manpower?"
Yue Niang listened to Qian Jiujiu's concern and immediately replied: "Princess, don't worry, there are enough people, and I have arranged everything."
Qian Jiujiu was relieved then, but she turned around and looked at Nanny Wan with a longing look on her face. She thought that Nanny Wan had been staying in the palace recently and might be a little bored.
Then he looked at Yue Niang and said, "Yue Niang, take Nanny Wan to the store tomorrow. If Nanny Wan is bored in the future, she can go to the store to help."
Yue Niang and Nanny Wan were both stunned for a moment. Yue Niang was a little confused. What did Qian Jiujiu mean
Nanny Wan looked at Qian Jiujiu in confusion: "Why did the princess suddenly think of asking Nanny to help in the store?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled and looked at Nanny Wan: "I am looking at Nanny's face full of longing. If you want to go out, you can go out anytime. Just tell me."
"Just let me know where you're going. Remember to ask one of Qinglian and the other four to accompany you. That will put my mind at ease."
Yue Niang was relieved when she heard this. She was worried that Nanny Wan would interfere casually! Yue Niang didn't know the identity of Nanny Wan who had appeared beside Qian Jiujiu.
But the prince seemed to be very nice to her. If such a person went to the store, Yue Niang would feel that she didn't know whether she was the supervisor or Nanny Wan was the supervisor.
Nanny Wan looked at Qian Jiujiu and knew that Qian Jiujiu meant well: "Well, when I'm free, I'll go out for a walk."
Qian Jiujiu then smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, I'm idle in the mansion all day long, and there's nothing else to do."
"But you don't have to worry, Ma'am. When we get to Xiaotian Village, I will open a yard for you in the backyard. You can grow some vegetables or flowers if you want."
Nanny Wan smiled and said, "Mammy, I am looking forward to going to Xiaotian Village. But it will take a long time to build the yard in Xiaotian Village."
"You don't know, I wanted to take care of the palace's garden, but I found that the flower beans in the palace are precious, so I dare not do it casually."
Qian Jiujiu burst out laughing: "So that's how it is. Then just ignore it. By the way, Mammy, since you have nothing to do, I'll take you to study sweet potatoes."
Sweet potato? Nanny Wan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Is that the thing you asked someone to bring back from the back mountain? Can't we just cook it and eat it?"
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Of course not, that thing is a delicacy!"
"You can make sweet potato cakes, sweet potato meatballs, sweet potato shreds, sweet potato pancakes, and many other things. Let's go, let's have a sweet potato feast tonight."
Thinking of the delicious food made from sweet potatoes, Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt her mouth watering. She looked at Nanny Wan and said, "Mammy, please hurry up."
A flash of doubt flashed across Nanny Wan's eyes. Why did her Jiu'er know so many ways to cook sweet potatoes? Never mind. As long as she was happy, it was up to her.
This lively and lovely daughter in front of her is better than the silent one. Thinking of this, Nanny Wan also followed with a smile, and Qian Jiujiu had someone wash a basket of sweet potatoes.
Nanny Wan looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess, how do you do all this? Just tell me and I'll do it."
Qian Jiujiu was not polite: "Let's do it together, wash it first, then peel it..."
The mother and daughter made a delicious meal with the sweet potatoes in front of them. When the sweet potato meal was served on the table, Mu Yexiao looked at these things.
I couldn't help but be curious and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiu'er, are these made of that sweet potato?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, isn't it delicious? It smells good and tastes good, mainly because of my good cooking skills! Haha!"
Mu Yexiao couldn't help but laugh at Qian Jiujiu's appearance, but of course he was also very supportive: "Of course, your craftsmanship is really good, do you make a lot?"
"If there are more, send some to the palace."
Qian Jiujiu immediately thought of it. Concubine Qing and the Queen seemed to be very kind to her. Well, let's send them over. She nodded and said, "I'll go and pack two copies of each now."
"One portion will be in the Queen's palace, and one portion will be in my mother's palace. As for my father, if things go as expected, he will definitely dine in my mother's palace."
Mu Yexiao also nodded: "Then let Hongling go and send her off."
As he spoke, Mu Yexiao picked up a sweet potato pancake and took a bite. It tasted good, but he looked at the pancake in his hand and said, "This pancake is delicious, but it wastes a lot of oil."
There was only lard available in this day and age, and Qian Jiujiu was very dissatisfied with this. However, she could not find rapeseed and had no time to get peanut oil.
The main reason is that she has been here for too short a time. When she has time, she must improve her living standard. You know, eating animal oil every day is very bad for your health.
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu's face, which was full of disdain. He didn't know what she was disdainful of, so he could only sigh: "I'm afraid the common people can't afford it."
Qian Jiujiu listened to this and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "Then the people can just cook it like this, or cook it into porridge, or cook it with rice."
"We don't have to eat sweet potato cakes, and having sweet potatoes is an extra food, which is better than having nothing."
Mu Yexiao thought for a moment and said, "I was the one who forced her to do it. Jiuer is more open-minded."
Qian Jiujiu chuckled twice: "You have never experienced the feeling of being hungry. When you are hungry, it is good enough to have something to eat. If you still want to pick delicious food, then naturally you will find it difficult."
"Besides, there is a lot of food in this world that can be eaten. It just depends on whether one is good at finding it or not."
In the previous life, corn, sorghum, and rice were divided into many kinds, unlike the current Great Zhou Kingdom, which is mostly rice and wheat. Of course, this is why Qian Jiujiu dislikes it so much.
Definitely because, she won’t eat anything made with wheat flour.
Mu Yexiao listened to Qian Jiujiu's words and couldn't help but nodded: "Jiuer's words make sense."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mu Yexiao and said, "Don't think that just because you agree with what I say now, I will forget what you did today." She snorted and didn't want to talk to Mu Yexiao anymore.
He just lowered his head and concentrated on eating what was in front of him.
