The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Gu's Restaurant on Fuxing Street has been deserted for more than ten days since it opened, and Gu Huai has begun to seriously doubt his life.

He felt useless, as he had caused his sister's family to lose all the money they had invested.

Gu Huai ran to the backyard and said to Su Qianqian, who was frying tea leaves, "Qianqian, your uncle is sorry for your family. Your uncle is thinking, how about we return the shop to the landlady next month? Your aunt and I can continue to run an open-air stall selling snacks."

"Uncle, even the best wine needs advertising. It's normal for business to be slow when a new shop opens. After all, many restaurants have regular customers. Maybe some customers will come at noon."

When Su Qianqian went to ask Xiaobao about his studies in the morning, she specifically told the teachers that the flower tea at Gu's Restaurant was free.

When this flower tea is being made, only one drop of spiritual water from the space is added to a large pot, but the flavor is still fragrant enough.

Gu Huai returned to the front hall and sat dejectedly behind the counter when he suddenly heard Qin Shi's delighted voice.

"Four guests have arrived. Please come in, esteemed guests."

Finally, a job was in store. Gu Huai grinned broadly, jumped up from the bamboo chair, and rushed into the kitchen, determined to use his best skills to make these four distinguished guests regular customers of Gu's restaurant.

Su Qianqian recognized the four people who had arrived as the teachers from Qingsong Academy, whom she had met that morning.

As long as these four scholars approve of Gu's Restaurant's food, the scholars who come and go will surely want to try it when they see the scholars eating there.

It can have a very good publicity effect.

"Four gentlemen, please have some tea."

The scholars sipped the flower tea with satisfied expressions. Such good tea was being served for free; Gu's Restaurant was truly a wonderful place.

Moreover, it's very close to the academy, making it very convenient to get there.

Since they hadn't had lunch yet, the four teachers ordered four dishes and a soup together.

The fragrant food was served, which greatly surprised the four teachers once again.

Not only did the dish smell delicious, but the presentation was also absolutely stunning. They even used a purple radish to carve delicate roses and arranged them around the edge of the plate as decoration.

Su Qianqian explained, "The flowers we use for decoration at Gu Ji are made from pickled radishes, which are edible and have a sweet and sour taste."

The braised pork knuckle has a bright red color and melts in your mouth.

There's also the hibiscus chicken slices, which are excellent in color, aroma, and taste.

The mapo tofu was so perfectly intact, with not a single piece falling apart. This really tests the chef's skill.

Master Xu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise, "Perfect, I give Gu's Restaurant a perfect score of 10."

This is much better than that so-called "Number One Restaurant in Qinghe County," Zuixianlou.

Gu's Restaurant has a very spacious entrance, and passersby can clearly see the scene inside the lobby.

Many students passing by saw the four teachers eating.

"Oh my, all the teachers are eating at Gu's restaurant, and they look so satisfied. Gu's food must be delicious."

"It smells amazing, but we've already had lunch. How about we come over to Gu's for lunch this afternoon?"

"Okay, okay, count me in."

Standing at the door to greet the guests, Madam Qin's face lit up with a smile upon hearing the scholars' words.

Looks like business will be good tonight.

Soon, the entire table of food was devoured.

Master Zhang, still feeling quite pleased, exclaimed, "I usually only eat one bowl of rice per meal, but today I ate four bowls!"

Master Xu also said, "It's a real shame that Master Liang didn't come here to eat. He grabbed those two packets of flower tea but didn't come to Guji to drink the free tea, so he couldn't enjoy these unique dishes."

After finishing lunch, the four scholars continued drinking tea, drinking until their bellies were completely full before deciding to leave.

Master Xu asked the question he most wanted to know: "Young lady, do you sell this flower tea?"

"Yes, 10 taels of silver for a small packet, the same size and quantity I delivered to the academy this morning."

The teachers were dumbfounded.

This is too expensive, I can't afford it, I simply can't afford it.

They teach at Qingsong Academy, and their monthly salary is only 5 taels of silver. If they spend two months' salary on flower tea, they won't have enough money to support their families.

Five taels of silver was actually a very high income in Qinghe County; ordinary people could only earn about 500 coins a month working.

Mr. Zhang, who came from a relatively well-off family, gritted his teeth and bought a packet of flower tea.

Seeing this, both Madam Qin and Madam Gu were dumbfounded. They saw Qianqian making flower tea in the backyard every day. Qianqian said that guests who came to eat could drink it for free.

They drank it all for free, and the two thought that Qianqian would sell it for at most 100 coins a small packet, but they didn't expect her to directly ask for 10 taels of silver.

What's even more unexpected is that there actually were fools willing to pay for it, which is truly—

Su Qianqian gave the four teachers a 30% discount on their meals and, together with Xiaobao, escorted them to the restaurant entrance.

"Teachers, please wait. Once my younger brother Xiaobao successfully enters Qingsong Academy, I will send each of you a packet of flower tea."

Upon hearing this, Master Xu paused, turned around, and praised, "Your younger brother has quite a big forehead; he looks like a smart child."

Master Zhang approached Xiao Bao affectionately and gently stroked Xiao Bao's hair. "Xiao Bao is very well-behaved."

Xiao Bao thought to himself: Everyone says I'm as weak as a little radish, and I'm not energetic at all.

The teachers unanimously decided that, in order to fulfill Miss Su's promise of flower tea, Xiao Bao must be able to successfully enter Qing Song Academy to study.

After the teachers had walked away, Xiao Bao looked up at his sister and said, "Sister, I think you've won over all those teachers. It seems like my trip to Qingsong Academy is all set."

Like an adult, Xiao Bao put his hands behind his back.

"Sister, once I've studied hard and passed the imperial examinations, I'll definitely take good care of you. Since Fang Tongsheng doesn't think much of you, I'll find you someone even more capable than him."

In the afternoon, Su Qianqian took Xiaobao to Qingsong Academy at the agreed time, carrying a small basket with her.

The basket was covered with a blue floral cloth, so no one could tell what was inside.

The siblings were stopped by Fang Cheng as soon as they entered the academy gate.

"Su Qianqian, don't think that just anyone can come to Qingsong Academy to study. Let me tell you, Qingsong Academy is the best academy in the entire Qinghe County. Those who come to study here are either rich or noble, or they are very intelligent people with great potential."

"Look at your little one, what a mess he is! Dull-witted, like a little radish. He wants to study here? Dream on."

Su Qianqian waved her right hand and shoved Fang Cheng aside. "You bastard, you love to bark. It's so annoying. Get out of the way. A good dog doesn't block the way."

Fang Cheng was pushed to the ground, and angrily pointed at Su Qianqian, saying, "You called me a dog?"

Xiao Bao chuckled foolishly, "Sis, once I get into the academy, I'll study hard and do better than that bastard, so I can bring you honor."

The siblings walked with their heads held high into the room where the teachers worked; the same five teachers were there as in the morning.

Master Zhang asked Master Xu, "If I remember correctly, you should be teaching your students at this time."

Master Xu grinned slyly: "I've already switched classes with another teacher."

So that I wouldn't miss the flower tea that Miss Su made.

He looked intently at the basket Su Qianqian was carrying, guessing that the flower tea was probably under the floral cloth.

When Miss Su saw them off at the restaurant, she said that if Xiao Bao could successfully enter Qing Song Academy, she would give each of them a packet of flower tea.

He was short of money and couldn't afford it, so he was just waiting for Miss Su to give it to him for free.

"Greetings, teachers. My younger brother has arrived. Please examine him."

Several teachers stood up at the same time.

Master Xu was the fastest, rushing to Xiao Bao first. "Xiao Bao, I am Master Xu. Now I will give you a test. As for the test, you can count from one to ten."

Xiao Bao thought to himself, "This is easy. My sister has been teaching me for days."

After Xiaobao counted to ten in one breath, Master Xu immediately concluded: "Alright, you can come to study tomorrow."

Master Liang thought to himself, “You lot always try to make things difficult for new students, but today you’ve given such an easy question.”

There's definitely something fishy going on.

However, he had already accepted the two packets of flower tea that Miss Su had sent that morning, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for Xiao Bao.

The teachers' eyes shone brightly as they all stared at the basket Su Qianqian carried with her.

Master Xu rubbed his hands together, eagerly anticipating the tea.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Su Qianqian unveiled the blue floral cloth and gave a packet to each of the five teachers present. As for those who were not present, they were not included in her gift-giving program, and she did not know how many teachers there were in the academy.

I saw there were eight tables in total this morning, so I prepared eight small packets of herbal tea.
