Chapter 24
Chu Qingzhi took retreat as the way forward, "I finally researched this recipe, but it's not from my adoptive parents' family, but if you want it, it's not impossible."

When everyone heard this, their eyes became bright.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at everyone lightly, and a faint irony flashed in his eyes, "As long as everyone is willing to spend money to buy it, I will be very happy to tell you how to do it."

Chu Ping jumped out again and said righteously, "Chu Qingzhi, we are all from the same village, how can you ask for our money?"

Chu Qingzhi turned her face in Chu Ping's direction and asked back, "One village doesn't need money? Then our family will have dinner at yours tonight, okay?"

Chu Ping glared at Chu Qingzhi, and stopped talking. The Chu family had more than a dozen people, and he had to be poor for one meal.

Someone asked, "How much do you want?"

Chu Qingzhi raised a finger and said with a smile, "100 taels."

Everyone gasped, their family could not save 100 taels for a lifetime, yet Chu Qingzhi asked for 100 taels!

Chu Ping scolded, "Chu Qingzhi, what are you dreaming of, and you actually want 100 taels! Impossible, we can't buy the prescription with 100 taels."

Chu Qingzhi spread her hands, expressing that it doesn't matter, "The ice in the city costs a penny a catty, and you can earn 100 taels by selling a thousand catties of ice. Water is not available everywhere, can you make a lot of money?"

When everyone thinks about it, it seems that it is a great profit.

Chu Qingzhi didn't care about everyone's reaction, and continued, "But if you sell it in the county town, you can only be like us. A piece of sorbet is only sold for ten cents, otherwise no one will buy it. You have to get it in the city to sell it at a high price, here’s a little more, the ice in the city is monopolized by those big families, if you sell it, be careful, don’t offend the powerful, there will be no return.”

As soon as everyone heard it, the dream of making a lot of money disappeared, and their minds became clearer.

Chu Qingzhi said again, "If you imagine our family selling ice cream, first you have to have oranges, you have to peel them, squeeze them into juice, make molds, freeze them, and store them. By the way, before doing all this, you have to save 100 taels. I'll buy a prescription."

"To sum up, I agree to sell Fangzi to you at a price of 100 taels. If you want it, go home and save money, don't dawdle."

Chu Ping pointed at Chu Qingzhi and said angrily, "Chu Qingzhi, I think you just said that because you didn't want to give us a prescription."

"You're right, who wants to give their good things to others for no reason? Are you so generous?" Chu Qingzhi's voice became stern, "If you want to get the prescription for free, go home and lie down in bed and have a sweet dream, I don't have it. So much time wasted with you."

A villager said indignantly, "Chu Qingzhi, Chu Ping is right, you just don't want to give us the recipe."

Chu Qingzhi said, "Are you willing to give your food to my house for free? If you are willing, we will move immediately."

The villager did not speak.

Another villager spoke, "Chu Qingzhi, 100 taels is too expensive, you can afford it cheaper."

Chu Qingzhi curled her lips into a smile, "It seems that you have more than twenty old hens in your house. I will buy them for you for a penny and a pound. Do you agree?"

The villager stopped talking, and he didn't lose a penny or a pound of chicken.

Tang Jinghong lowered his head slightly, with a faint smile on his brows, you are a rogue, I must be more rogue than you, so I won't suffer.

Chu Qingzhi became impatient, "Is there anything else to say? If you have nothing to say, everyone should leave, it's getting dark."

Zhao Xiuhua said loudly, "Chu Qingzhi, the village chief hasn't said anything yet. Why do you say you're gone? The problem of the increasingly severe drought in the village has not been resolved."

Chu Qingzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, Zhao Xiuhua did everything today, "Village Chief, as long as you drive this wicked old woman out of the village, I will help you find the water source."

Zhao Xiuhua did not cause any substantial harm to her, so she didn't want to force Zhao Xiuhua to death and most of the women who were driven out of the village committed suicide. She did this just to threaten her, so she couldn't fight with her every day and waste time.
