The evil female in the space can heal, and five beast husbands risk their lives to protect her.

Chapter 12 Tu Shan Gongzi
The next morning, Qiao Suluo woke up early.

When she woke up and opened her eyes to see the dilapidated roof beams, she vaguely realized where she was and had to accept reality.

Qiao Suluo wasn't one to fight internal battles; since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it and quickly got up.

When she got up, it was just dawn. Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo had already gotten up and were busy fetching water and chopping wood.

Qiao Suluo quickly washed up and made breakfast so she could go to the county town early to set up her stall.

For breakfast, she made radish and egg soup with eggs and radishes, and pancakes with multigrain flour. This was all thanks to the food everyone gave her last night, otherwise she would have had nothing to eat in the morning.

She still needs to think about how to repay everyone.

Qiao Suluo found the simple pancakes very unpalatable. In the past, when she made pancakes, she would make giant pancakes with lots of fillings, which made them more delicious and satisfying.

The pancake I made this morning was just a simple multigrain pancake with some scallions and cilantro, nothing else.

Even so, she felt it was already pretty good; it was better than having nothing to eat.

She wants to eat delicious food, so she urgently needs to make money.

"You guys eat some too. Mixed grain noodles might not taste very good in other dishes, so I made jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes). Try it and see how it tastes."

Que Hongjin and Bai Qianlu nodded, and then they ate.

They ate with their usual refined elegance, their demeanor completely out of place in this simple setting.

Que Hongjin looked surprised as she ate the multigrain pancake. Having grown up in a life of luxury, she initially found the multigrain noodles difficult to swallow and even caused stomach upset and indigestion.

But in order to have enough to eat and survive, he had to force himself to adapt.

I never expected that a pancake made from mixed grains would taste so good. When you bite into it, the crispy and fragrant flavor explodes on your tongue, accompanied by the freshness of scallions and cilantro, making it very appetizing.

A simple radish and egg soup, a spoonful in the mouth, the sweetness of the radish and the rich aroma of the egg intertwine, with a slightly spicy taste, warming the stomach like the warm sun in winter, giving people a healing sense of satisfaction.

The spiciness comes from the pepper that Joso added.

She redeemed it with points from the space shop. She didn't have many points, so she couldn't redeem anything else, but she could redeem some seasonings.

The main reason is that the seasonings in the online store are cheap.

Que Hongjin had to admit, "It's delicious. Is my wife also planning to sell multigrain pancakes at the market?"

Qiao Sulu shook her head and said, "No, making multigrain pancakes is too busy. We also need to make frying pans, which all require money. Let's start with some small-scale businesses."

Bai Qianluo ate her breakfast quietly, her eyes covered with a cloth so her expression couldn't be seen. She paused for a moment at the beginning of her meal, seemingly amazed by the taste of the food. "It's delicious, thank you, my wife."

After saying that, she continued eating quietly, unhurriedly, as peaceful as a painting.

"You are welcome."

They've never been this polite before. The old Bai Qianluo was like a mute to her predecessor, avoiding speaking whenever possible.

"And this is konjac snack. I don't know if you eat spicy food. If you can, you can eat it as a side dish."

They were in the south, and based on her predecessor's memories, she knew that the people here especially liked spicy food. However, Que Hongjin and Bai Qianlu came from the capital and might not like spicy food.

Therefore, when Qiao Suluo made multigrain pancakes, she did not put konjac filling inside to eat.

Actually, if you like spicy food, this way of eating will be especially delicious.

"I can only eat a little bit of spicy food."

This konjac dessert is made with so many chilies, Que Hongjin can't possibly eat it all.

Bai Qianluo can't eat any spicy food.

Only Qiao Suluo ate with relish.

After breakfast and packing her things, Qiao Suluo prepared to go to the county market. Bai Qianluo broke her silence and said in a clear voice, "I'll go with my wife."

A gentle light flashed in Que Hongjin's beautiful eyes as she stepped forward and said, "I will accompany my wife as well. Supporting the family is the responsibility of the beast husband, how can I let my wife suffer alone?"

Hearing these words, Qiao Suluo's lips twitched. Que Hongjin would never have said such things before.

They wished they could stay far away from her and not say a word to her.

Qiao Suluo had originally planned to go to the market alone, but since they were willing to go together, she decided to go together as well.

Although the two women were sickly and disabled, they were beautiful. Perhaps their presence would improve her stall's business.

When they reached the village entrance, there was an oxcart parked there, with many people sitting on it. The old man driving the oxcart seemed to be waiting for someone.

When the old man saw Qiao Suluo and the other two, he said warmly, "Miss Qiao, Young Master Que, Young Master Bai, are you also going to the county town? I still have room in my oxcart, I can give you a ride."

Qiao Suluo suddenly realized that her uncle usually drove an oxcart into the county town, which cost one coin per trip. The three of them would need three coins, and six coins for a round trip, which was almost enough to buy a pound of coarse rice.

Besides, she didn't have a single penny to her name, so she could only shake her head and say, "Uncle Lin, we won't take the oxcart."

"You can sit here for free."

Qiao Suluo waved her hand and said, "Uncle Lin, thank you for your kindness, but I'm too fat right now. I can lose weight by moving around."

Previously, villagers would avoid her like the plague, but perhaps because she saved someone yesterday and taught everyone first aid techniques, their attitude towards her has changed somewhat.

After Qiao Suluo refused the old man, a few moments later, some villagers came and got on the oxcart, which then drove away.

Qiao Suluo and the other two walked into the county town.

It was only when she passed a road on the way that Qiao Suluo discovered the locust flowers.

"These are locust flowers. There are so many locust trees on both sides."

Qiao Suluo's eyes lit up with excitement.

This is the season when locust flowers bloom, and locust flowers can be used to make many delicious dishes—they're a readily available ingredient!

Que Hongjin assumed that Qiao Suluo liked these flowers. Although she was a little surprised, Que Hongjin still said, "If my wife likes these flowers, I will pick some when I come back. However, these flowers are not easy to grow back home."

Qiao Sulu shook her head and said, "Locust flowers are edible."

Que Hongjin and Bai Qianlu both paused in their steps, as this was the first time they had heard such a statement.

They had never heard that locust flowers were edible; otherwise, why hadn't anyone picked so many locust flowers?

However, considering the food Qiao Suluo had made these past two days, they had to believe her. They were just curious whether this flower could really be made into food.
I don't know how it tastes.

"Let's go to the market to sell our things first, and then pick more on our way back."

After she cooked the food, the villagers who had given her gifts also sent some back to her to try, as a way of exchanging gifts and giving everyone another option to cook.

……

Once Qiao Suluo and her group entered the county town, they realized how prosperous it was, and how many people were coming to town that day.

Qiao Suluo happened to overhear some conversations about the fox beast husband that her predecessor had sold.

"Hurry up and go to Nanfeng Tower to grab a seat, or there won't be any left."

"That's right. I heard that this morning was Young Master Tushan's first time performing on stage."

"That's Young Master Tushan, what kind of performance can he give?"

"Young Master Tushan is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He is especially skilled in sword dancing. A beautiful woman dancing with a sword is a rare sight. It is difficult to see fox beasts in the south. Fox beasts are naturally beautiful, let alone this direct descendant of Qingqiu Mountain. It is said that one glance from him can make people so excited and amazed that they faint."
