Chapter 99: Urgent need

August 13, 2023Ai Hrist

Shi Qinglou went back to her room and drew the appearance of the cooking pot.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at i: “What’s the use of this space?”

It was the first time he saw this kind of pot.

Shi Qingluo replied: “The middle is like a chimney, with charcoal on the bottom to cook, and the outer ring is filled with soup, vegetables, and meat.”

Xiao Hanzheng put away the paper: “It’s wonderful.”

“I’ll go to the county town to help you with the pot, and try to get it back as soon as possible so that you can eat hot-boiled mutton.”

Now the conditions at home were good. Although it costs a lot to make an iron pot, there was no pressure.

The family also bought a carriage, and he didn’t have to travel to the county town for a long time.

Shi Qinglou smiled and said: “Thank you, husband!”

“By the way, you remember to bring back some white sesame and black sesame. I will prepare the things that County Magistrate Mo needs in these 2 days.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Okay!”

In the afternoon, Xiao Hanzheng brought sesame seeds back, and Shi Qingluo took them to the kitchen to fiddle with them.

Of course, she brought Xiao Baili with her. She devoted herself to cultivating her sister-in-law’s cooking skills.

Shi Qingluo mainly instructed the side, while Xiao Baili started working.

She has no other way. Her cooking skills were not online, while Xiao Baili has a talent for it.

After making the sesame paste, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Xiaomei made some black sesame paste together.

The sesame oil has to be taken to the oil-pressing workshop in the county tomorrow, the sesame seeds needed to be pressed into oil before it can be processed.

The Iron WSorkshop knew Xiao Hanzheng, so he gave him some face.

After a day, they can get the cooking pot.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went to get the cooking pot.

After finishing picking up meat and vegetables, they ran into Mo Qingling on the way back.

The two saluted with something in hand: “We greet the lord.”

Mo Qingling didn’t wear an official uniform, he said with a smile: “There is no need to be polite outside.”

“You come to the county to buy things?”

Xiao Hanzheng replied: “My wife has already made sesame paste. Today we bought some mutton to try it.”

“After testing the taste of sesame paste and sesame oil, we will give it to the lord.”

Mo Qingling smiled and said, “I’m bothering you.”

Xiao Hanzheng invited: “If your lord is free, you can go to our humble house and try the hot-boiled mutton with sesame paste.”

According to his little wife, it was better to try everything yourself.

He also wanted to have more contact with Mo Qingling.

Mo Qingling has a very good impression of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife. Especially, he couldn’t help but admire Xiao Hanzheng more and more.

He thought for a while and agreed, “Okay, then I will bother you!”

He didn’t have any pretensions either. He went inside the Xiao Family’s carriage and went back to Xiaxi Village together.

After arriving at Xiao Family’s house, Shi Qingluo saw Bai Xu, sitting lazily on a chair in the yard, reading a newly written manuscript by Xiao Hanzheng.

This guy was acting like he was no outsider.

Bai Xu came here to urge manuscripts today. Because this book on the Cultivation of Immortals was getting more and more popular.

He also opened a bookstore in the capital, which focused on this storybook, because it became very popular there as well.

Many children from aristocratic families in the capital went to the bookstore to urge them all day long, and he received letters from the capital to urge manuscripts every day.

He had no choice but to come to Xiao Family’s house himself.

He doesn’t admit that he, himself wants to read the follow-up story.

Who knew that when he came to the Xiao Family’s house, Xiao Hanyi said that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qinglou went to the town?

Seeing the draft on the desk in the yard, he couldn’t help but pick it up and read it first.

He was reading vigorously when he heard footsteps, he looked up.

Then he saw Mo Qingling beside Xiao Hanzheng. He was stunned and hurriedly got up.

“I greet his lord!”

Mo Qingling was also very surprised to see Bai Xu sitting in the Xiao Family’s courtyard.

Looking at this person’s casual appearance, one can tell that the relationship between Bai Xu and Xiao Family should be very good.

“No need for the ceremony!”

Shi Qingluo asked Bai Xu: “Why are you here?”

Yesterday, the Bai family took away many mosquito coils.

Bai Xu picked up the manuscript in his hand and shook it: “I’m here to urge you to finish the manuscript.”

“Brother Xiao, your storybook gets better and better as you write it.”

Even in front of the county magistrate Mo Qingling, he was also very casual.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled, “Thank you for the compliment!”

Mo Qingling was startled, “What storybook?”

Bai Xu was a fan of Xiao Hanzheng’s storybook, so he immediately recommended it: “The Cultivation of Immortals written by Brother Xiao is not only popular in the county town, but also popular in the capital. My bookstore prints it every day.”

This storybook’s profit each month was equal to his bookstore’s profit from the previous year. One can imagine how popular the storybook was.

Now, whether in the county town or the capital, people will talk about it when they come out to get together, have you read “The Cultivation of Immortal”?

When someone hadn’t seen? Then he was behind the trend.

Mo Qingling was a little surprised: “It turns out that Young Master Xiao can also write story books, so I’ll buy a copy when I go back to the county town.”

It was not about love, it was about cultivating immortals, so he can accept it.

When he was a dude, he would read love story books when he was bored.

It was just those stories that people write were very similar. After reading a few more books, he lost interest.

Now hearing Bai Xu’s praise so much, he felt a little curious.

After Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qing got together, he was also influenced by her.

He didn’t intend to be modest: “Then I’ll thank you for your support first.”

The Cultivation of Immortal storybook was written by him and his little wife after discussing it together. No need to mention others, even him, the person who wrote it found it interesting.

That was another world. Cultivating Immortality and experiencing various hardships will make people yearn for it.

He doesn’t know that since this storybook became popular in the capital, many young people from aristocratic families made appointments in groups, and went to the suburbs to wander around every day.

They wanted to see if they can pick up some treasures and step into the road of cultivating immortals.

There was a big tree in the Xiao Family, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo always go under the big tree to enjoy the shade.

So tables and chairs were placed in there, and also tea sets and chess boards were placed on the table.

Shi Qingluo can play Go because she has two grandpas who like to play it.

When she often wants to coax the two of them, she played chess with them first.

In the beginning, she was killed in pieces, and she was abused and cried, so she studied hard for a while and even found some orphans to study together.

Being abused by her two elders, her chess skills level constantly improved.

One time, when she saw Xiao Hanzheng sitting and playing chess with himself, she said that she knew how to play chess and played with him.

Then they had an extra routine, sitting in the yard, drinking tea, and playing a few games of chess when they were resting.

She wins and loses, but mostly loses… …

There were no other ways. Her husband’s chess skills were superb, he can make her cry like her grandfathers in modern times.

Sometimes she would think that if her husband went to modern times, she would take him to torture the two old men so that she can get back at them when they tortured her and made her cry in the past.

Mo Qingling was very proud when she was young, but after she found out that he was being flattered and killed by her stepmother, he suddenly made a realization and became motivated.

Because of this, gradually he became somewhat more open-minded.

Just like today, here in this small farmyard. He has never set foot in this kind of place before. Now that he has seen more, it has a different taste.

So he didn’t dislike it, he sat casually under the big tree.

Seeing the chessboard on the table, he smiled and said, “Young Master Xiao also likes to play chess?”

In those years when he was a dandy, he was most impatient with these things.

But later, he became more and more fond of playing chess, which can exercise his patience and make him less irritable from the ups and downs of life.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “I like it.”

Mo Qingling became interested: “How about playing a round?”

Xiao Hanzheng sat opposite him: “Good!”
