After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 66: I really owe you

The two of them continued to chat about the floor tiles and ceramic tiles workshop.

Shi Qingluo gave a lot of good advice.

Bai Xu felt that they were great and even wrote them down.

After that, she took out the pot of cured purple chrysanthemum.

“Here, you can bring your flowers back today.”

Recently, she had carried them into her room to water them, so she didn’t put them in the yard.

Bai Xu saw that the purple chrysanthemum that was initially withering had not only returned to their original appearance when he first bought them, but the flowers were even bigger and more beautiful.

He couldn’t help but feel surprised. “Your treatment is too good, isn’t it?”

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “Of course. Take a look at who I am.”

Bai Xu had now realised if he handed her a pole, she would immediately climb up.

“Yes, you’re amazing.”

He also believed that Shi Qingluo would be able to raise the flowers that they were talking about.

Shi Qingluo lifted her chin. “Now that you know how amazing I am, you must firmly believe in me from now on. I’ll let you fly along.”

She changed the topic. “So, go and get me a few dairy cows.”

Her body was malnourished, so her face had turned yellow.

She wasn’t as tall as she was in her previous life either.

Apart from her three meals to nourish her body, she planned to drink milk every day.

Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang also needed some supplements.

Milk can produce milk candies, and she could eat a few of them every day.

Bai Xu was speechless. If she was given some colours (also a word play of being taught a lesson), she would definitely start a dye housing.

He snapped, “I really owe you.”

It just so happened that he was going to deliver a letter to his little uncle, so he would thicken his skin to help her ask about the dairy cows.

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “If it’s possible, get a few more. I want as many as you have.”

Bai Xu was speechless. “Why do you want these dairy cows?”

Shi Qingluo replied, “There are many uses for them. I intend to make milk candies. I can give you some to taste when I’m done.”

Bai Xu had never heard of milk candies. “Milk can be turned into candies?”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “You don’t need to look so amazed about it. Not only can milk be used to make milk candies, it can also be used to make a lot of food.”

Nougat and condensed milk could also be made and sold.

Bai Xu thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll try my best to get you more cows.”

He emphasised, “But if you come up with anything delicious, you have to prioritise and sell them to me first.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “No problem.”

Bai Xu sat for a while and paid her the rest of the flower treatment.

Then he left with the flowers in his arms.

Shi Qingluo ran to her room and took out the “time travel encyclopaedia”.

She copied down the food recipe and formula for the medicine making with a pen and paper.

Now that their living conditions were improving, so was the food, Xiao Baili only had average cooking skills.

After eating a couple of times, Shi Qingluo was sick of the food.

She intended to pass her these recipes, and let her cook them in a different way every day.

Everyone could eat happily together while replenishing their nutrition.

Meanwhile, Xiao Baili could polish her culinary skills.

Otherwise, Shi Qingluo would also despise her own bean sprout body and yellow face.

After all, men were still visual animals.

She still hoped that in the future, she would be beautiful in front of her young husband every day.

During dinner, Shi Qingluo handed Xiao Baili the recipes she had copied.

“Baili, you can cook the dishes differently in the future.”

Xiao Baili liked the feminine arts (such as needlework) and culinary skills very much.

She was delighted when she saw these recipes. “Thank you, sister-in-law. I will learn them well.”

Life at home was getting better and better.

Her sister-in-law would go to the county town on alternate days to buy meat and other food.

At first, she was still a little reluctant, but now she was used to it.

She realised that sister-in-law was actually a little picky about food and was quite particular about what she ate.

She would definitely learn all the recipes and make the dishes for her sister-in-law.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “It’s fine even if you fail. You can improve it next time. You don’t need to feel burdened about it.”

“Alright.” Xiao Baili’s heart warmed.

It was really good to have a kind sister-in-law.

If she were those cousins from the old residence, they would throw a tantrum or scold her directly when she spoiled the dishes.

She knew that many girls of similar age in the village had a tense relationship with their sister-in-law.

Hence, she was especially glad that she had a good sister-in-law.

Many of the young girls in the village also envied her.

When Mother Xiao saw that her daughter and daughter-in-law got along so well, the smile in her eyes deepened.

As expected, agreeing to Qingluo’s marriage was the wisest choice back then.

That night, as Shi Qingluo thought about building a house and getting rich, the sleepiness that she had initially felt gradually disappeared.

Especially with the empty bed beside her, she missed her young husband for another night.

Unable to sleep, she carefully counted the seeds and saplings in her space.

There weren’t any corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and chilies imports here yet, so she had to think of a way to bring them here one by one.

However, if she suddenly took them out, it would probably arouse the suspicion and attention of the upper class.

She had to plan wisely.

After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of a good solution.

She gradually fell asleep.

On the other hand, Xiao Hanzheng, who stayed in the prefecture, also had insomnia.

Without his little wife by his side, he returned to the state of his previous life.

He had insomnia all night and could not sleep.

He could only sleep for a few hours after relying on medication.

He missed his family and his wife.

Fortunately, he would be able to go home in two days.

Early the next morning.

Shi Qingluo, Mother Xiao, and the others had finished selling the tofu.

She said to Mother Xiao, “Mother, I want to go to the Taoist temple and build a tomb for my master.”

Mother Xiao especially agreed. “You should. Do you need our help?”

Shi Qingluo shook her head. “It’s fine. I’ll go up the mountain to take a look first. Then, I’ll ask a fengshui master for a good location to build the tomb.”

Now that she had the silver in her hands, she didn’t want to feel that she was shortchanging the priest who had been taking the blame for her.

She was prepared to build him a good tomb.

Mother Xiao smiled. “Alright, if you need any help, you can come and call us.”

“Alright!” Shi Qingluo nodded.

She carried a basket on her back and left the house.

Previously, she and Xiao Hanzheng had gone to this big mountain, but in different directions.

After walking for nearly an hour, Shi Qingluo finally reached the mountainside where the Taoist temple was located.

She took out her key, unlocked the door that was previously locked by Shengyuan, and walked in.

The Taoist temple wasn’t that big.

There was only one main hall and two side rooms.

The old Taoist priest refined his pills and stayed in the main hall, while the boys slept in the side rooms.

There were even a few mu (6 mu 亩 makes an acre) of land in the backyard cleared for vegetable planting.

Shengyuan had never come back after leaving, and the vegetable field was left deserted.

Shi Qingluo went to the main hall first and found a lot of ashes on the ground and some bones that hadn’t been burned.

There were some in the middle, which must be the old Taoist’s.

There were a few piles on the side, which should belong to the other three Taoist children.

She took out the urn that she had specially bought from the county and the gloves that she had put in her space.

She walked to the main hall and bowed to the place where the broken bones were scattered.

“Priest, please rest in peace.

“I will build a tombstone for you, and I will burn incense and paper money for you in the future.”

After saying that, she went forward and carried the ashes and bones on the ground into the urn.

After filling it up, she sealed it and went to the side to collect the ashes of the three Taoist children.

She was prepared to bury them next to the priest’s grave so that they could also have a safe haven.

After doing all this, Shi Qingluo went to the backyard.
