In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

"Thank you for your concern, young lady. My hand is no longer seriously injured."

The cloth strip that was hanging on the left hand before the banquet had been removed.

Maybe it hasn't healed yet, so my left hand is pounding naturally, but it doesn't matter much anymore.

He Qiudi asked again: "What about Yang Jiu?"

"It won't limp. It should be able to heal."

"Haha, that's good. By the way, where are you going?"

"I was planning to go to the county government office."

He Qiudi asked curiously, "Did you get a job in the county government?"

Yan Shi said with a warm expression: "Yes. I am now temporarily serving as the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Ningyuan County."

"Wow. That's impressive. You've become an official now. You'll be staying here for a long time, then. When the busy farming season is over, can I come to the city to visit you?"

Even if she didn't meet Yan Shi this time, she would find another opportunity to go to the city to find him, be friends with him, and tell him that the Xirong would raise an army to attack Yongning Prefecture after the autumn harvest.

Make preparations early, strengthen the defenses of Ningyuan County and Lan County, and evacuate people from outside Ningyuan County and the other three counties, so as to reduce casualties and losses.

By then, if the war was not so intense, the people of Pomegranate Village might not have to flee famine.

She is not yet an adult and doesn't want to run around and work hard.

If you don't eat well, don't sleep well, and work too much, you won't grow tall.

Hearing her straightforward words, Yan Shi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Of course. I still have to repay Qi Niangzi for saving my life."

He Qiudi pondered for a moment.

For someone of Yanshi's status, it is not easy to repay favors.

A favor that can be repaid with money is probably the easiest favor to do.

She didn't want Yan Shi to be stuck in the dilemma of how to repay the favor, so she laughed and said cheerfully, "Since I've met you, I really have something to ask of you. You're an official now, can you ask the kitchen manager of the county government to take my freshly picked mushrooms?"

Yan Shi was speechless. He had already seen the wild mushrooms she and He Sanlang were carrying.

He thought that she had sent these mushrooms into the city for He Huaizhang, He Huaibi and He Huaijin to eat.

I didn't expect she was going to sell it for money.

After a while, he waved his hand: "Yang Ba."

"My subordinate is here."

During the banquet, he said to He Qiudi, "Since you are going to sell these two baskets of mushrooms, why not sell them to me? I am staying at the Yunlai Inn now, and there are more than ten or twenty people eating here. We haven't eaten these fresh products for a long time. I will charge you thirty cents per pound, okay?"

"Row."

He Qiudi knew that this mushroom could not be sold for 30 wen per jin under normal circumstances. It would be good if it could be sold for 3 or 4 wen per jin.

But it's a drought this year.

Where can you find such big and fresh wild mushrooms in the mountains?

It's all thanks to her diligence in releasing water~

This is called a mountain delicacy, and it will be served on the table of the eldest son of the Crown Prince. If it is not sold at 30 coins per pound, how can it be worthy of his noble status! ?

During the banquet, he waved to Yang Ba, who immediately carried the backpacks for He Qiudi and He Sanlang.

They all turned back to Yunlai Inn.

Yang Ba lowered his head and asked stutteringly, "Master, you don't want to take the sedan chair?"

"no need."

Yunlai Inn is just two streets away, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

There are fifteen guards and servants around Yan Shi now.

They all live in the Yunlai Inn.

If these freshly picked mushrooms are properly stored, they can be eaten for two days, from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. The leftovers can be made into mushroom sauce and eaten slowly.

With so many people, they were able to finish over 40 kilograms of fresh mushrooms still covered in mud.

During the banquet, he took out one or two taels of silver and two hundred coins, put them in a purse and gave them to He Qiudi.

At the same time, he took the basket from Yang Bati and handed it to her.

"Yanshi, what are you doing?" He Qiudi looked at the basket and asked in confusion.

Should I put gold in the basket to thank her for saving my life?

Yan Shi explained: "This is a small gift from me. It's just some snacks made by my cook."

As he spoke, he lifted the thick soft cloth on the basket, revealing the date cakes, glutinous rice cakes, and osmanthus cakes inside.

what?

It turns out they are just some cakes.

There is no gold, silver or jewelry.

Her expectations were in vain.

Seeing that He Qiudi had confiscated it, Yan Shi said, "Last night, the remnants of the bandits came to assassinate me. Thanks to that short knife, I cut off the opponent's knife, and I was lucky enough to escape unscathed."

Throughout the whole process, he never mentioned the relationship between He Qiudi and the dagger that saved his life in front of He Sanlang.

He Qiudi asked nervously: "Are you really okay?"

What remnants of bandits.

Most of them were assassins sent by the Queen, the King's brother-in-law, or even the Western Rong people to kill him during the banquet.

Yan Shi smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course it's okay. Otherwise, how could I walk back by myself?"

"That's true." He Qiudi took the basket of pastries calmly and said with a smile, "In that case, I will accept this pastry as a congratulations to you for becoming an official and escaping death. I wish you a prosperous life, a bright future, peace and happiness, and a long life."

Peace, happiness and longevity are the endings that He Qiudi most wants to see for this god of war.

As for the gift she wanted to give to Yan Shi to celebrate his promotion to an official, she couldn't take it out in front of Sanlang.

I can only find an opportunity and give it to him when she meets Yan Shi alone.

I couldn't help but be amused by her during the banquet.

"Thank you. I hope you will too..."

"Then...can I still sell you wild game in the future?"

"Of course you can." Yan Shi said very considerately, "When you have more mountain products, or fruits and vegetables from the fields, just bring them directly to Yunlai Inn. If I'm not here, Yang Ba or the shopkeeper can do it. If we don't live here when you come, you can take the things to the government office and tell us my name and Yang Ba's name, and the doorman will pass it on for you."

"Thank you so much." He Qiudi said happily.

There were many guards, servants and followers at the banquet, and the consumption was quite high.

She can find a lot of wild delicacies in the mountains.

This business can last for a long time.

After getting this promise, He Qiudi and He Sanlang said goodbye happily.

The banquet was originally supposed to go to the county government office, as there must be some official business to attend to. It would be unwise for her and Sanlang to stay in the Yunlai Inn and delay his official business.

After leaving the inn, He Qiudi took out the copper coins from her purse and put them into Sanlang's old cloth bag.

"If Dalang and the others hadn't been working at home, the mushrooms should have been shared by the five of us. How about this, each of you four will get fifty cents."

He Sanlang asked in disbelief: "Are they really all going to be given to us?"

"Really? When have I ever lied to you?"

"Thank you, aunt!"

He Sanlang was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Fifty cents.

He had never had fifty cents.

This is a huge sum of money!

He knew that if he could follow his aunt, he would definitely be able to eat delicious food and drink delicious drinks.

He admires his aunt so much.

Standing in front of the county lieutenant, he was not timid at all.

He was so frightened by Yan Shi and Yang Ba that he stayed beside them the whole time, not daring to speak or even breathe!

The pastries given to them at the banquet looked delicious, so He Qiudi decided to go to the county school first to give some to He Huaijin and He Huaibi.

On the way, Sanlang's eyes fell on the basket: "Aunt, can we have a few cakes first?"

"Then eat a piece of glutinous rice cake first, and then give it to your fifth and sixth uncles, and take the rest back to eat with your father and mother."

"it is good."

He Qiudi lifted the thick cloth on the basket, took out two glutinous rice cakes, handed one to He Sanlang, and the two ate as they walked.

He stood at the door of Yunlai Inn during the banquet. After watching them leave, he said to Yang Ba, "Ask the cook to wash a small basket of mushrooms for my lunch and dinner, and make a few jars of mushroom meat sauce. Dry the rest and save them for later."

"promise."

Yang Ba didn't think much about it, he just thought that the Crown Prince liked to eat game from the mountains.

*

He Qiudi used the money he had collected from the bandits to buy fifty large meat buns.

A meat bun costs two cents.

Not cheap.

A total of one hundred coins were spent.

She went to the grocery store and bought some oil, salt, vegetable seeds, and a new basket for buns, spending all the copper coins and change she had.

He Qiudi still had five taels of silver obtained from the bandits and one tael earned today, a total of six taels of silver in "savings".

When I was at the grocery store, I put some buns and some pastries in two baskets respectively.

The two of them ate meat buns while walking towards Haohan Academy.

The students were still in class, and He Qiudi didn't want to disturb his brothers' studies, so he handed the things to the doorman and asked him to deliver the pastries and meat buns to his two brothers.

He also gave the doorman two meat buns as a reward for his errands. The doorman happily accepted them and promised to get the job done.

He Huaijin and He Huaibi are the teacher's younger brothers. The twin brothers are young and promising. They are already students at a very young age. There is a good chance that they will pass the imperial examinations and become high-ranking officials in the future. How could the doorman dare to neglect and offend anyone from the He family?
