Cheng Qiqi glanced at the hand-woven flower wreath and said, "I should thank Uncle."

"Thank you, Uncle Beard!"

Jin Suian happily went to get the flower wreaths, one large and one small, one to wear on her hand and the other to her hat.

"Mom, is it pretty?"

Jin Sui'an happily twirled around, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

"nice."

Cheng Qiqi looked at her daughter with admiration.

The wreath, specially made from flowers of several colors, makes little Jin Sui'an look like a fairy among flowers.

The sun had set and it was getting dark when Cheng Qiqi and her group hurried home.

Smoke curls from the kitchen chimney.

As soon as Cheng Qiqi entered the courtyard, she could already smell the aroma of meat.

"You're back? Perfect timing, Black Earth hunted a rabbit, we'll have rabbit for dinner tonight."

Liu Suying peeked out from the kitchen, immediately noticing the flower wreaths on her granddaughter's head and hands, and exclaimed, "Whose flower fairy has arrived?"

"grandmother."

Jin Sui'an, pleased with the compliment, ran forward happily and said, "Uncle Beard made this flower wreath for me, isn't it pretty?"

"nice."

Liu Suyi praised her granddaughter repeatedly, and seeing that her granddaughter was covered in sweat, she said, "There's hot water in the pot, go and wipe yourself down."

"Mother, I'll take An'an to get a bath."

Cheng Qiqi led her daughter back into the house. These days, people take a bath every three or four days to avoid catching a cold.

Cheng Qiqi secretly takes a bath in her space every day; otherwise, she simply can't stand taking a bath every few days.

"It smells delicious!"

Cheng Qiqi wiped her daughter's face and body, changed her into clean clothes, and then let her sit on a stool made of a small wooden stake to wash her feet!

The small wooden stool was made by my father-in-law. He pieced together scraps of cloth to form a perfectly fitting soft cushion, which was stuffed with old cotton.

"Mom, my flower wreath is so pretty."

"Uncle Beard is really amazing."

Jin Suian praised the bearded uncle profusely.

Cheng Qiqi's eyes lit up as she asked, "An'an, can Mother take a look?"

"OK."

Jin Suian spoke generously.

Cheng Qiqi held two flower wreaths, one large and one small, and carefully examined them.

The garland is woven very well, the wrapping method is excellent, there are no burrs at all, the garland is very nice, there's nothing wrong with it.

"It's so beautiful."

Cheng Qiqi returned the flower wreath and didn't mention it again. Perhaps Heitu had placed his daughter on the shoulders of the heir?

So that's why you're good to your daughter?

Cheng Qiqi couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. There was extra rabbit meat for dinner, and everyone ate their fill.

After the meal, Cheng Qiqi began discussing with the Jin family how to fertilize the soil and how to build irrigation ditches.

Apart from the soil in the space, she was quietly buried in a pit in the fertile soil.

Repairing canals is also very important.

Cheng Qiqi used every method she knew, regardless of the consequences, as long as it could increase the yield of grain and sugarcane in the fields!

This discussion lasted for most of the night.

Madam Jin and Liu Suyi were sewing shoes. One pair of shoes after another with soft soles was slowly taking shape in their skillful hands.

The kitchen is like a city, where Cheng Qiqi is using an ancient method to steam flower dew in a pot.

Besides her past experience, she also had a great advantage: the space was filled with many practical books!

The traditional method of steaming flower dew involves layering sand and flowers, and then using bamboo with its nodes removed as a conduit.

All night, Cheng Qiqi stared intently at the fire in the stove, her eyes practically blurry, afraid that if the fire was too small, it wouldn't ignite, or if it was too big, it would burn.

Cheng Qiqi occasionally looked up, listening to the men of the Jin family discussing how to cultivate the sugarcane field well.

Seeing that Jin Yanzhi and several other men of the same generation, including Jin Lizhi, had started practicing martial arts.

Watching Wen Shi, Gao Shenglan, and others chopping the freshly made sauerkraut...

The courtyard was bustling with activity.

Finally, Cheng Qiqi's gaze gently fell on Jin Sui'an, who was playing with Jin Yun in the corner. Under the moonlight, the little girl's smile was absolutely beautiful!

Time passed slowly, and night deepened. Marquis Zhongyong and the others came over: "Qiqi, how's the fire going? We've come to check on it."

"Father, no need, it's all better now."

Cheng Qiqi looked at the little bit of flower dew in the small ceramic jar, brought it to her face, and smelled it carefully: "It smells good."

"father."

Cheng Qiqi handed it over.

Marquis Zhongyong said, "I'm a grown man, I can't smell it."

Cheng Qiqi went directly to Liu Suyi. As the former mistress of the Marquis's mansion, she had seen all sorts of good things. She held the bottle in front of her and smelled it carefully. The faint fragrance of jasmine wafted into her nose.

Liu Suyi then used her hand as a fan, the fragrance of which was sweet but not cloying. She said, "Did you just make this floral dew in the kitchen? You made it in just two hours?"

"If this were sold at Hua Xiangrong's in Kyoto, wouldn't it fetch dozens of coins?"

"If the flavor were a bit stronger, I could sell it for a few hundred coins."

Liu Suyi had bought quite a few before, but she always thought that such floral water would take a long time to make. Who knew... it only took half a day?

"Mom, how about we try applying this?"

Cheng Qiqi dipped a little of the floral dew in her hand and applied it to her face. The floral dew, which carried the scent of jasmine, made her face feel much more moisturized.

"I'll give it a try too."

Just as Liu Suyi was about to try it, Cheng Qiqi gently reminded her, "Mother, let me try it first and see if it works!"

What if she has an allergic reaction to something she made herself? How will she explain that to her mother-in-law?

"It's okay, if you can use it, I can too."

Liu Suyi thought that she must be doing all this to make money, so she had to help her try it. She said, "I've used floral water before, so I know what kind of floral water is good!"

In short, Cheng Qiqi couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Mom, if you feel uncomfortable, just wash your face."

Cheng Qiqi stared at Liu Suyi's face. Even after half a year of hardship, Liu Suyi's natural features were still beautiful.

"it is good."

Liu Suyi smiled broadly.

Jin Sui'an squeezed through the crowd, looking up at her and saying, "Mom, I want some too!"

"You always want to join in on every little excitement."

Cheng Qiqi didn't dare to put too much on her face, just a little bit, and then she saw the little girl start asking everyone to smell her face to see if it smelled good, which made Cheng Qiqi laugh.

The next day, Cheng Qiqi washed her face and applied jasmine perfume. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that she smelled even better after applying the perfume!

"Qiqi, my face seems more hydrated, and it doesn't feel tight and uncomfortable at all anymore."

As soon as Liu Suyi got up, she touched her face with delight and said, "Smelling jasmine flowers helps me fall asleep better at night!"

"Mother, I think my face looks a bit more moisturized."

Cheng Qiqi looked closely and, getting closer, could faintly smell the fragrance of floral dew on her body.

"It's moisturized."

Liu Suyi touched her face and said, "These flowers only bloom for a few days, so we should pick more."

"right."

Cheng Qiqi responded, and then took out the drawing she had made and said, "I'm going to the county today to have this flower dew steamer made into a copper kettle with a tin lid."

"What do you want to do? I can go to the county and find someone to do it for you."

Black Earth's voice rang out: "Copper and tin, ordinary people may not necessarily find a master to make them."
