Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Although the amount of money is less, it is already very good. At least I can see hope, so my work efficiency today is much higher than yesterday.

Xia Yingying looked at the fruits in the warehouse. After a day's work, only 1/10 of the fruits had been removed.

A large portion of them were taken to the pastry shop and sold a few days ago when the fruits could not be dried. Because the business was pretty good, some fresh fruits were sold.

However, we can't be impatient about this, as it will be useless if we are impatient.

After all, human labor is not like the machines in modern times that can work non-stop without sleep.

But in ancient times, the cost of labor was not high, but the cheapest. But Xia Yingying didn't want to bring so many people back, for fear of trouble and waste of money. She was not a saint, and after these jobs were done, she could support many people for free.

If she wanted to hire someone, she could just post a job notice.

"Ma'am, these are the dried fruits that have been dried."

The warehouse has more than 50 drying furnaces, and dried more than bags of dried fruits yesterday.

Xia Yingying took out a piece of dried kiwi from her pocket, ate it carefully, tasted it, and found it tasted pretty good.

Because a little white sugar is added to the dried fruits, they are not particularly sour, but slightly sweet and very delicious.

"Distribute these ten bags to two cake shops." Xia Yingying instructed the two men nearby.

"Yes, ma'am." The two men loaded the two bags of dried fruits into the car and delivered them to a cake shop.

But today, just now, at around one or two o'clock in the afternoon, I had already finished 20 bags of dried fruits. My efficiency was obviously much higher than yesterday.

Xia Yingying was very happy to see that everything in the dried fruit factory was going smoothly and today's output was much higher than yesterday.

Xia Yingying entered the warehouse and there was nothing she could do to help, so she didn't stay there for long and went to a cake shop.

The cake shop's business was as booming as ever. A young man in gray cloth asked Jixiang for 100 cakes as soon as he entered the shop, and took out 50 taels of silver and put them on the counter.

The young man was dressed very casually. His clothes were washed white and had several patches on them. His shoes were also ordinary straw sandals.

He could come up with so much money, why didn't he improve his living environment instead of squandering it all in the pastry shop? This shows that the money was not his, he was just buying it for others.

When Xia Yingying saw this scene as soon as she arrived, alarm bells immediately rang in her heart.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and risks, Xia Yingying silently called out to the system in her heart.

"Are you here, Space System? Can you help me predict who these 100 cakes will be sold to? Are there any potential risks?"

One hundred servings of pastries were too many, and they were bought by someone who couldn't afford it. Xia Yingying felt more and more uneasy.

Xia Yingying didn't want to get into trouble, so after resting for about 10 minutes, the system suddenly said something slowly.

"I'm sorry, host. This space doesn't provide predictions of the future. The original plot doesn't involve any related plots, so please just let it go."

When Xia Yingying heard this answer, the corners of her mouth twitched. It would be better not to answer this question. Well, she could only handle this matter herself.

"Give me this much money for cakes, packed into 100 portions, with three kinds of cakes in each portion, and some of your fruits."

Good luck, peace and happiness, seeing so much money, I knew this was a big customer. How could I dare to neglect him?

So, Jixiang took people to receive the individual guests who came later, while Ping'an Xile stayed aside to specifically receive the young man.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment. Come with me upstairs to rest for a while. It will take a while to prepare a hundred cakes." Xia Yingying took the initiative to receive the young man. "No need. I'll just wait here."

The young man blushed and then shook his head to refuse.

Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Free tea and snacks are provided upstairs. You can sit down and rest for a while. It will take some time to pack a hundred cakes."

After hearing this, the young man followed Xia Yingying upstairs. After a while, Xile brought tea and fruit. Xia Yingying said to the young man, "You can have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Xia Yingying poured a cup of tea and placed it next to the young man.

The young man picked up the teacup and drank a cup. Xia Yingying picked up the teapot and filled the young man's cup. Seeing that the young man was almost relaxed, Xia Yingying

"Excuse me, young man. Are you buying cakes for someone else? Who is the person who asked you to buy cakes for him?"

Xia Yingying asked.

Hearing Xia Yingying's question, the young man immediately became alert, "But if you don't sell it, I'll go buy some other cakes."

The person who asked him to buy cakes before coming to a cake shop also told him that if people in the shop asked why he bought so many cakes, he should use this excuse.

Seeing the young man's reaction, Xia Yingying pursed her lips slightly and explained, "It's like this. My husband is on duty in the military camp. He got the news that some barbarians from the northern border have sneaked into the capital recently and will poison some cakes and food to disrupt the capital. I saw you buy so many cakes and I was a little confused, so I asked you. I'm really sorry if I scared you."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xia Yingying's explanation, beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared on the young man's forehead.

The man didn't speak from the North, but with a genuine Beijing accent, but he didn't know what the Northern accent sounded like.

Is this really dangerous, or is this woman simply deceiving him?

Who is the person who asked him to help buy pastries and what is his purpose?

Until this moment, these problems have popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain.

He just wanted to make some money, how could he end up in such a situation?

Does he still need to earn this money? However, he has already taken the money and he doesn't know how to return it...

What if that person is a bad guy? If so, then so many innocent people in the capital are poisoned to death because of him. He will really be blamed for this.

After hesitating for a long time, the young man told the man how he went to find him.

"I don't know what that man looks like. He wore a bamboo hat the whole time, but he is tall. In that case, I won't buy these cakes." The young man suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

Xia Yingying stopped him immediately.

"Wait a minute. Even if you don't buy it now, he will send someone else to buy it later. You clearly promised to buy it, but you came back empty-handed. He will definitely find out or something. Don't worry, just do what he says and you won't get into trouble."

Xia Yingying said this with a confident look on her face. She was very sure that the young man knew that the cake shop was opened by General Lu Ziren's wife. If she knew, she would tell General Lu. So it was fine this way. The young man nodded and said, "Okay."

Before Xia Yingying left, Lu Ziren told her to be careful when doing business during this period, because the secret guard hidden in the Sixth Prince's clothes had sent back a message that the Sixth Prince was making every effort these days to deal with her starting from Xia Yingying.

So when Xia Yingying heard someone wanted to buy 100 servings of cakes, she couldn't help but be alert.
