Chapter 11 Windfall
The villagers were very happy when they got Shen Xingchen's shortbread recipe.

They have made some money because of her in the past two days, and they can afford a meal of white flour shortbread.

No, according to what Yang Xiaoliu and Zhao Dasheng said, this kind of shortbread is always stored, and it is also very good to give as a gift when needed.

They also knew the reason why Shen Xingchen told them Fang Zi. Although they sympathized with her a little, they also understood the owner of Shengyi Restaurant.

As for why Shen Xingchen didn't sell the shortbread recipe to other people, but gave it to everyone for nothing, the villagers also had a self-righteous opinion: Judging by the way she collects the medicinal materials, it is clear that she is not short of money, and this shortbread recipe is sold out of the sky If it's less than 50 taels of silver, she can afford to lose money.

In short, these unreasonable actions of Shen Xingchen are very reasonable in the imagination of the villagers.

What the villagers regret most now is that Shen Xingchen is clearly the God of Wealth, but they can only trade, not make friends.

Really anxious.

But thinking that if it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have come to Houtu Village at all, and everyone changed their minds again.

They only hoped that those weeds on the mountain that they had looked down upon before would also come into her eyes.

Shen Xingchen seemed to have heard their aspirations, and within two days he went up to the mountain to teach them how to dig sugarcane, yam and taro.

Sugarcane is just burrs on the leaves and is non-toxic. Although the villagers doubt its usefulness, they are happy to do it.

One big root or two small roots, remove the leaves, and dig the roots together. As long as the stem is not damaged, the straight and bent ones are worth a penny. Where can I find such a good thing?

Although there are not many on the mountain, there are at least more than 500 large and small. After calculation, it is very impressive.

In the eyes of the villagers, sugarcane is no different from copper coins, but yam and taro, which are similar to Gastrodia elata, frighten them all at once with their poisonous appearance.

Some people even started conspiracy theories, suspecting that she wanted to poison people.

The village chief was elected by everyone again, "...Hey, Mrs. Shen, this is poisonous, what do you want to do with it?"

Shen Xingchen smiled meaningfully, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, if I want to make poison, it's much easier to dig centipedes and catch worms than to collect them."

She didn't want to tell lies, and she didn't want to tell the truth for the time being, so she didn't answer directly.

The villagers were dumbfounded at first, and then became happy.

That's right, although yam and taro are poisonous, they are slightly poisonous. To kill people, you need a huge amount. If it is said that poisoning is harmful to people, using it is really not as good as using toads, centipedes, scorpions and so on.

Since it is not used to harm people, it is a good job.

Although it is not as cost-effective as digging sugarcane, yam and taro are also weighed, and the price of five catties is a penny, which is a windfall.

This time without Su Yinan's instructions, Su Jin and Su Rui automatically joined the "treasure" digging crowd. Half of the proceeds of the day were sold to Shen Xingchen, and the other half was kept for research.

After three days of such noise, it suddenly began to rain heavily.

Shen Xingchen's acquisition plan had to be suspended.

Her two warehouses have already been acquired, and in just a few days, they are full of them.

Liu Qiuniang has been very quiet these days.

He didn't find faults openly, nor did he play tricks secretly.

Of course, he didn't take the initiative to show his favor.

Although the three of them now live under one roof, they cook in two gangs.

Shen Xingchen was busy a few days ago and didn't have a chance to find out, but when he was free today, he suddenly discovered that Liu Qiuniang's cooking skills are not much worse than her in her previous life.

She was a little surprised.

In Yuanshen's memory, Liu Qiuniang never entered the kitchen.

Although unexpected, she didn't care much.

Now she just wants to make money happily and work hard to make her and Xiaoxuan's life better.

If the opportunity is good and she can leave Houtu Village, she will take Xiaoxuan to find a good place to hide her identity and live freely.

If there is no way to leave, she will build Houtu Village into a paradise.

As for being too high-profile, the capital will notice...

There are various indications that even if she lives an honest life, people in the capital will always stare at her.

Her high profile and low profile will not change this.

On the contrary, if she actively plans, everything will not be a problem.

It started raining at noon.

After lunch, Shen Xingchen woke up in the dark and realized that it was already You hour.

Seeing that the time was just right, she decided to make taro to eat.

She knows a lot of taro delicacies.

But because she and Xiaoxuan were the only ones eating, she decided to only make taro pancakes and stewed taro with meat.

Stewed taro with meat goes best with white rice. She also plans to cook white rice for two, make a plate of stir-fried chicken feathers and a shredded apple.

The sugar for the candied apples is the soil sugar she secretly boiled from sugar cane yesterday.In order to avoid Xiaoxuan's worries, she deliberately lied to him that it was a kind of honey, and Xiaoxuan, who had never eaten honey, firmly believed it.

The most troublesome part of making taro delicacies is... peeling.

Of course, if you are willing to spend money, it is not a problem.

She tried to peel half of it like an apple and lost patience. She went to the warehouse to find a thick cloth bag containing rare medicinal materials, put some taro in it, and began to beat it...

Shen Yunxuan, who had been watching strange and learned things from a close distance, and Su Jin, who was peeking from the roof of his own house, were both stunned.

Although Shen Xingchen's bold and unrestrained behavior at this time is also very elegant and pleasing to the eye, it is too unexpected, and they are incapable of accepting it.

Shen Yunxuan is better.

Shen Xingchen had already told him the characteristics and benefits of taro and yam a few days ago. He knew that they are not only non-toxic, but also delicious when cooked.

Su Jin didn't know that taro can be eaten, so she was even more confused.

Taking advantage of Shen Xingchen's focus on smashing taro and unable to talk to Shen Yunxuan, she secretly went back to the room and told Su Yinan about it...and asked him if he knew what was going on?

Su Yinan's expression was still calm, but what he said would kill Su Jin, "I said I don't need to monitor anymore, you are so disobedient, go back to Master with Su Rui tomorrow."

Go back to Xiaoshan?

No, it's suffocating there, how can it be as fun as here?
She shrank her delicate head and walked away.

However, she didn't go back to the roof to spy on Shen Xingchen, but looked for it openly.

Well, I also took two top-quality oranges in my hand.

This was originally given to her by Su Yinan, but she was always greedy for some reason, but this time she was reluctant to eat it by herself. The moment she got the orange, she wanted to give it to Shen Xingchen.

Shen Xingchen also likes Su Jin who is sometimes preoccupied and sometimes heartless, and has been feeding her a lot these days.

Seeing her coming, he naturally accepted her two oranges, and said with a smile, "It's just right, I'm going to make some delicious food that I haven't seen before, you stay and eat together."

Su Jin responded with a smile, and rolled up her sleeves, "Okay, but I want to help you with the work."

"Okay then, go and help me boil a pot of water first."

"Okay."

There is one more person, and he is still a foodie, so the amount of food must be increased, because the rice has already been soaked, and it would be troublesome to add taro. Shen Xingchen decided to steam some yam and make a yam pork rib soup.

However, the candied apples were not brought out, too few and not enough, let Xiaoxuan eat alone.
