Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Qiqi, good news!"

As soon as Zhuang Lizheng's wife, Tian, ​​saw Cheng Qiqi, she immediately rushed forward, excitedly taking Cheng Qiqi's hand and saying, "The dried oyster sauce is selling very well in the county!"

"I never expected that these unwanted oysters could be turned into profitable oyster sauce! And these cooked dried oysters can also be made into oyster sauce. You wouldn't believe it, everyone at the shops is scrambling to buy them!"

Tian looked at Cheng Qiqi with excitement, her eyes shining. This was a god of wealth!

"Aunt Tian, ​​that's perfect. Let's all hurry up and process the oysters while we have this time, because they'll be gone once the season is over."

Cheng Qiqi looked at Tian's smile and was not surprised at all.

In the past two weeks, we've boiled about 300 jin of oyster sauce and 500 jin of fresh oysters, yielding 30 to 40 jin of oyster sauce. We've also boiled about 80 jin of cooked oyster meat.

Therefore, in the past two weeks, the remaining oyster meat was used to make oyster sauce, which included chili and minced garlic. Nearly a thousand kilograms of oyster sauce were made, and several jars were bought just for the sauce!

Although the oyster meat is free, the chili peppers, minced garlic, and oil all cost money!

The villagers also thought it tasted good, but they couldn't sell it for money, and everyone was worried.

Now, the county has sold several batches, and Sister-in-law Agui has bought a large vat of it wholesale. The villagers immediately smiled!

It's another lucrative business.

Busy as it was, February arrived. Oysters were no longer available, and with more people working together, the sugar mill had already entered a semi-shutdown state.

After taking her daughter to the beach to collect seashells, Cheng Qiqi asked as they passed the pier, "Don't we want any of those fish?"

"Sister-in-law, even though the fish are only one cent a pound, nobody wants them. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and if they don't sell, they'll just go bad and be thrown away."

Jin Yanzhi answered quickly, explaining that he sold sauerkraut and fish porridge every day and came into contact with all sorts of people, and he knew about these things.

"It's such a waste to let it go bad. If we made it into fish balls, could we sell them?"

Cheng Qiqi said thoughtfully.

"Are fish balls tasty? Can they be sold for money?"

When Jin Yanzhi heard about selling it for money, his eyes lit up and sparkled.

"It's delicious."

Cheng Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "Go buy some mixed fish and try it tonight!"

"OK."

Jin Yanzhi responded and immediately went to buy some mixed fish.

When I came back, I bought two large baskets of miscellaneous fish. Before the fish were even loaded onto the cart, the fishy smell hit me.

"this……"

How can I sit down?

Cheng Qiqi then decided to walk back.

"Sister-in-law, Zhuang Haichao said he's going back too, and he can help us bring back some miscellaneous fish."

Jin Yanzhi glanced at Zhuang Haichao beside him. He had fought with Zhuang Haichao earlier because of Jin Xueer's matter!

Later, when Hu Dali came, Zhuang Haichao secretly helped him with his work.

Two days ago, he was selling pickled cabbage porridge in the county, and Zhuang Haichao was selling white sugar water. He ran into some thugs, so the two of them teamed up and beat them up!

As the saying goes, "no fight, no friendship." Over time, Jin Yanzhi became familiar with Zhuang Haichao and understood his thoughts to some extent. However, if he wanted to become Zhuang Haichao's brother-in-law, he would have to work hard!

"OK."

Cheng Qiqi and Jin Sui'an sat on the cart.

"sister in law."

As soon as Zhuang Haichao opened his mouth, Jin Yanzhi immediately said, "When did my sister-in-law become your sister-in-law? Don't call her that."

Seeing that the two of them didn't get along, Cheng Qiqi smiled and didn't ask anything.

"Sister-in-law Cheng."

Zhuang Haichao changed his tune and handed over the candied hawthorns he had bought, saying, "These are for An'an."

"My niece, you don't need to buy it for her."

Jin Yanzhi took two coins out of his pocket and gave them to Zhuang Haichao, then handed the candied hawthorn to Jin Suian: "An'an, Uncle bought you this candied hawthorn. This is the candy Uncle bought for you."

Jin Yanzhi then took out a packet of candy from his pocket and said, "These are jujube cakes I bought from the county. I was going to give them to An'an when I got home, but I'll give them to her now!"

Jin Sui'an looked at the things handed to him and glanced at Cheng Qiqi.

Please accept my uncle's kind offer.

When Cheng Qiqi spoke up, Jin Yanzhi, who had also earned a lot of money, said it was normal for his uncle to buy some snacks for his niece.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Jin Sui'an was overjoyed to receive the candied hawthorn.

Zhuang Haichao clutched the two coins in his hand, his gaze fixed intently on Jin Yanzhi. All the way home, Zhuang Haichao helped carry two baskets of miscellaneous fish down the stairs, offering his assistance: "Sister-in-law Cheng, do you need any help?"

Cheng Qiqi, carrying her bundle and holding Jin Suian's hand, was about to enter the house when she heard Zhuang Haichao's words and her eyes showed doubt: Were we going to stay and help?

No matter what.

"No need."

Cheng Qiqi refused with a cold face; her current identity was that of a widow.

"Yanzhi, there are so many fish, it would be good for me to stay and help them out."

Zhuang Haichao offered to help, saying, "I know how to handle these fish!"

"No need, we're not that close."

Jin Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "You should go back now."

"Leng Jiao, say something! How can we just sit here and do nothing?"

Zhuang Haichao pulled Leng Jiao, who was selling white sugar water, along with him.

"Yes, Grandma said she would help."

Cold-burnt items are very rare.

"Jin Yanzhi, please don't stand on ceremony."

Zhuang Haichao shamelessly stayed.

Cheng Qiqi took her daughter back to the room. When she saw the bag full of jujube cakes that Jin Yanzhi had bought, she told Jin Sui'an about it. Soon, Jin Sui'an took the jujube cakes and divided them between her great-grandmother and her grandmother.

Cheng Qiqi stood by the window, secretly observing Zhuang Haichao, who had shamelessly left behind. What was this man's purpose?

Soon, Cheng Qiqi discovered her purpose.

Jin Xueer is back. At first, Cheng Qiqi didn't pay attention, but when she noticed that Zhuang Haichao was staring at Jin Xueer with bright eyes, Cheng Qiqi came to her senses.

Cheng Qiqi recalled the strange atmosphere between Zhuang Haichao and Jin Yanzhi on the way back, and suddenly realized why she felt something was off.

After figuring it out, Cheng Qiqi felt relieved and began to debone the fish they had prepared and make fish balls.

It's definitely impossible for Liu Suyi and a few others to do the embroidery work.

Cheng Qiqi, along with the Wen and He families, started making fish balls.

Wen Shi was also familiar with Cheng Qiqi at the sugar shop. Wen Shi was also very talented in making food. With just a few words, Wen Shi had already made fish balls.

The fish balls were cooked, and they tasted pretty much as she had imagined.

"good."

Cheng Qiqi nodded repeatedly and said, "Selling this will definitely make you money."

"Sister-in-law, it's definitely possible! I'm almost sick of fish, these fish balls are delicious!"

Jin Yanzhi ate while praising the fish balls, then gave one bowl to Zhuang Haichao and the other to Leng Jiao as a thank you gift for their help.

"Yanzhi, I have something to tell you."

As Zhuang Haichao was about to leave, he mysteriously pulled Jin Yanzhi aside and said, "I know your secret!"

"..."

Jin Yanzhi rolled his eyes at him!

"I know you like your sister-in-law!"

Zhuang Haichao spoke softly, and his words instantly froze Jin Yanzhi in place.
