Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Spiritual Spring Upgrade
Translator: 549690339
Qiao Dazhu was the only one among the Qiao family who hadn’t taken a wrong turn in life. At seventeen, he wasn’t married, and she didn’t mind lending him some silver.
She handed the silver to Qiao Qinghe, “Grandpa, i’ll leave this with you. Make sure it all goes to Dazhu.”
Qiao Qinghe was about to scold Zhu Cuiying initially, but upon hearing this, he hesitated and accepted the silver.
Qiao Dazhu was a child he held dear in his heart.
“Don’t worry, every single coin will be spent on your Dazhu,” he promised.
Qiao Xiaomai smiled, “We’ll be taking our leave then.”
Qiao Qinghe nodded, “Go ahead.”
Qiao Xiaomai didn’t say anything more, taking Qiao Dami’s hand and turning away.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Changshun greeted Qiao Qinghe and quickly followed after them, limping along.
Zhu Cuiying
She stared greedily at the silver in Qiao Qinghe’s hand, cursing inwardly. They generously removed five taels of silver as though it was nothing special, yet they claimed they didn’t have a magical Golden Mountain or Silver Mountain!
Being so stingy, they’d likely be crushed by their supposed Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain!
Even though Qiao Xiaomai had lent the silver, she did not have high expectations of getting anything good from Zhu Cuiying. She quickly brushed it off and started cooking once she got home.
She had bought a fish, which she cleaned and placed in a pot to fry. Then, she added water to make soup.
She washed the elm seeds, mixed them with flour and steamed them in a bamboo steamer.
Soon, the fish soup was ready, as was the steamed elm seed dish.
The three members of the family sat around the dinner table. Each had a bowl of fish soup, and a large plate of steamed elm seeds in the center of the table.
Qiao Changshun tasted the creamy white soup first, remarking, “Xiaomai, your culinary skills have improved.”
Dami, who was eating the steamed elm seeds, repeatedly nodded in agreement, “Delicious, delicious!.”
The taste of the steamed elm seeds they ate every year was greatly enhanced!
Bending the corners of her mouth, Xiaomai showed a dimpled smile. Her peach blossom eyes shimmered with joy.
Her culinary skills have indeed improved.
Because the quality of the spiritual spring water in her spare space had increased!
The spring water she used before was no different from the well water in her house. But now, it was different and much sweeter. She felt the difference clearly from before.
She discovered this on the previous night. For a few days, she had to refrain from drinking cold water because of her period. When it ended last night, she drank half a glass before bed and immediately noticed the difference.
The water tasted sweet, but it wasn’t a simple sweetness like that of sugar cane. Instead, it was refreshing and pleasing, like the air after rainfall.
She drank two glasses, until her stomach was round. Then, she rolled around in bed laughing, her mood completely brightened after several gloomy days due to her period.
Even though she had to run to the bathroom several times last night, she woke up feeling energetic this morning. She even happily lent silver to Zhu Cuiying.
Her spiritual spring had upgraded!
Even though she wasn’t clear about the conditions of the upgrade, it had definitely happened!
Whether used for drinking or cooking, the taste was fantastic!
She was already earning money through her cooking skills, and now with the spiritual spring water, countless silvers were flapping their wings towards her!
She gently examined the small pool inside her spare space. Her eyes were as gentle as water.
This wasn’t a mere water pool. It was her treasure trove!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She sipped her fish soup delightfully, and then told her father, “Dad, continue with the tofu skin production later. I’ll take care of the braised chicken feet.”
If the water used for boiling the soy milk was replaced by this spring water, the tofu skin produced would taste even better!
By the same logic, her braised chicken feet would taste even better, too!
