Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1373: Chapter 1172: Delicate Mood_1 Chapter 1373: Chapter 1172: Delicate Mood_1 The sky was just beginning to lighten, and although it was early autumn, Yuhu was near the south, so the temperature remained high. The morning brought only a hint of coolness, and the gentle breeze caressing one’s face was quite comfortable.

In the courtyard, Bei Lingsu was already up, holding a bamboo basket filled with herbal medicine. Today was good weather, and she was out drying the herbs.

“Good morning.” She saw Qiao Xiaomai and greeted her with a beaming smile.

“Good morning.” Qiao Xiaomai quickly flashed a smile back.

Bei Lingsu set the basket on a wooden rack and bounced over to Qiao Xiaomai, her hand clasping Qiao Xiaomai’s arm, grinning sweetly, “Miss Qiao, what are we eating today?”

“What would you like to eat?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

“I’m easygoing! Whatever you make is delicious, so make whatever you’d like!”

“Let’s have something light in the morning. I prepared some minced meat last night, so how about some wontons?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Bei Lingsu nodded enthusiastically, “Let’s go, I’ll help you.”

“No need, I’ve brought helpers.”

“But just sitting around waiting to eat would make me feel guilty.”

“You could help His Highness Prince Wei. Weren’t you discussing last night how to crack down on the Tianlong Gang?” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“Eh, I was just spectating.” Bei Lingsu shook her head; she was merely an onlooker. This was a matter for Daqi; it wasn’t her place to meddle.

Besides, they didn’t come up with any result yesterday, and a night had passed without any better ideas likely to have emerged.

Just then, noise came from the neighboring room in the Zhang family’s house, “Miss Bei, are you awake? May I come in?”

The moment she heard this, Qiao Xiaomai was taken aback.

Could it be that Mrs. Zhang could also be so polite?

“Yes.” Bei Lingsu responded loudly, then looked at Qiao Xiaomai somewhat embarrassedly, “I can’t help you cook.”

“That’s fine.” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head; with the stove attendants around, Bei Lingsu’s help wasn’t needed, but… “What does she want you for?” she asked out of curiosity.

“It must be her eyes. I’ve been treating her eyes for the past few days,” Bei Lingsu said.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Her mood suddenly became a bit complicated.

But Mrs. Zhang was already disabled, and becoming blind would only make Tong Sanlang pity her even more.

That was undesirable.

With this thought, Qiao Xiaomai smiled and said, “Then go check on her. I’m heading to the kitchen.”

Bei Lingsu acknowledged and stepped toward Mrs. Zhang’s room, while Qiao Xiaomai watched her leave, pursed her lips, and turned to head to the kitchen.

After quickly freshening up, she started preparing breakfast.

With the help of the stove attendants, breakfast was soon ready: a bowl of wontons for each person, accompanied by seasonal vegetables, steamed dumplings, and a light fish soup.

The area was rich in dried fish from the sea, so she also steamed two pieces of dried fish.

Breakfast was served on the table. Bei Lingsu and Niu Dacheng took turns singing each other’s praises, almost elevating Qiao Xiaomai to the heavens. Bei Lingsu even expressed that once she finished collecting the herbs she needed, she wanted to learn cooking from Qiao Xiaomai.

“Such delicious food, I want to learn the craft,” she said, looking at Qiao Xiaomai with eyes full of reluctance.

Her home was on Sea Island, far from Daqi, and it was impossible for her to stay with Qiao Xiaomai for long. If she wanted to enjoy delicious food, she would have to make it herself.

“Agreed,” Qiao Xiaomai replied readily.

Her cooking was very tasty to begin with, and Spiritual Spring was just an added bonus. Bei Lingsu learning her original culinary skills wouldn’t be too shabby.

“Yo, you’re being quite generous now,” Yang Ye remarked upon seeing this, making a snide comment.

He had asked Qiao Xiaomai to take on a disciple before, and Qiao Xiaomai had given him nothing but cold shoulders.

Now she was being quick and eager!
