Qu Qingning widened his eyes and felt cold. He stared at Su Li's slightly raised lips. Although her appearance didn't change, he felt that the one standing in front of him was not a kind-hearted girl, but a capricious female devil.
Illusion?
Qu Qingning shook his head and looked at Su Li. She didn't smile anymore.
It was an illusion.
Without Su Li, the Su House became very harmonious. There were no more contradictions. Su Li was happy to live in the Baiwei Building. It was more convenient for her to go to the Baicao Tang after dressing up.
After Zhu Yan recovered, the room was full of tonics bought by Mam. Su-Cui.
But she still felt uncomfortable!
She tried hard to bribe the witch, but Su Li only changed a place to live, which made her very unwilling. It also made her clearly realize that if she couldn't separate Su Li from the Baiwei Building, she couldn't drive Su Li out of the Su Family. But Su Li used her cooking skills as a bond. It was impossible for Su Huanli to let Su Li leave the Baiwei Building.
"This wicked girl. I have never seen her cook before. How can she be so good at cooking?"
Zhu Yan bit her lips with hatred. She was now in a dead end. Fortunately, Su Qingtan would come back in a year. She had enough time to come up with a solution.
Time passed slowly when Su Li constantly improved her medical skills and Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning built the yard in full swing.
Nothing special happened for a whole month. Zhu Yan's belly was slightly bulging. She temporarily became the most important person in the Su Family. Mam. Su-Cui almost surrounded Zhu Yan every day.
During this period, Su Li disguised as a man and made a transaction with Su Huanli at the Sanhe Bridge. This was the third transaction after she stole the seasoning. Except for the 90,000 taels spent on building the yard and purchasing a large amount of polished glutinous rice and other raw materials, there were 60,000 taels left.
Qi Xianqing still didn't come back. Su Li didn't know which battlefield he went to. But the war was always long. It was impossible to end in a month. She estimated that Qi Xianqing would stay there for at least half a year.
"In my previous life, I suffered in the Su Family and was blocked from news. I don't know which country Dahan Country is fighting with now … "
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Su Li's mind. The territory of Dahan Country was not small. It was bordered by three countries. The Qinghe Province was located in the southernmost part of Dahan Country and adjacent to Nanjiang Country. The Zhushou Country was located in the northeast and the Tianhe Country was famous for its mechanism skills.
Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning both fled from Nanjiang. It was reasonable to say that the Nanjiang Country should be in chaos. However, the Dasu Town was not far from the border, but it was calm without any atmosphere of war. Therefore, Su Li speculated that the main battlefield was not here.
Standing on the top floor of the Baiwei Building overlooking the boundless night, Su Li sighed softly.
In this busy and peaceful month, her cultivation had reached the Complete Foundation of Houtian Realm Level Nine, and her aura was extremely smooth. She was just a step away from entering the Xiantian Realm!
If the technique was perfected, it would only be a matter of time before one reached Houtian Realm Level Nine. However, if one wanted to cross the chasm and reach the Innate Realm, it would depend on one's aptitude. Some people with mediocre aptitude might not be able to break through in their entire lives. They would be stuck at the limit of their lifespan.
With her aptitude, she would not be stuck at the limit. Even if she went astray in her previous life, she still stepped into the Innate Realm or even a higher realm. Unfortunately, the price she paid was too high. In the end, she was plotted against by Su Zipei and ended up in such a miserable situation.
On the seventh day of Su Li's efforts to break through, Qu Qingning finally came to her.
The yard was finally built!!
When she came to the valley, Su Li saw that the space of the valley had been expanded by three times. She couldn't help but praise him. She turned back and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest these days."
When Qu Qingning heard the meaningful words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past month, he was tormented by the Poisonous Heart Biting Insect. However, to his surprise, his cultivation had not regressed. Instead, it had made great progress and his foundation was much more stable than before.
This made him doubt Su Li's real intention, but he felt that it was impossible. After all, Su Li was not from Nanjiang. Even if she had heard of the Poisonous Heart Biting Insect, it was impossible for her to know it better than him.
At this moment, Su Li had gone far and stood in front of the gate of the yard.
It cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to build this yard. The materials used were all superior, which was more expensive than the Jinyuan Court. The area was five times larger than that of the Jinyuan Court, which was enough to accommodate a hundred people.
"Sister Su Li!" Fang Ling ran over and hugged Su Li at once, "I chose the furniture in these rooms. Do you like it?"
"Yes."
Su Li smiled gently. Since she moved to Su Li's place, Fang Ling had kept up with nutrition. She grew a lot taller and her skin became white. She looked mischievous, which was really lovable.
Su Li thought like this, but she didn't realize that she was only fifteen years old now. Compared with Fang Ling, she was only two or three years older.
"Miss!"
"Miss, you are here!"
Heidan and others swarmed from the yard. They worked very hard in the past month. But because they ate well, they all became strong, not as skinny and sallow as before.
"How about it? Although these boys haven't gone to school, they are very hardworking!"
Qu Qingning followed and said with a smile.
Su Li nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, but far from my requirements. These days are free. You can pass on the practice methods of your Qu Family and collect more things on the list. If they are collected, I will start to refine medicine to speed up their practice. "
Su Li's understatement shocked Qu Qingning so much that his eyes almost popped out!
"You can refine elixirs?!" Qu Qingning pointed at Su Li and said after a while, "Aren't you a poison master? How can you refine elixirs? You are younger than me!"
"Since ancient times, medicine and poison are inseparable. You talk too much." Su Li was a little impatient and said, "Time is pressing. Pass on the practice methods quickly!"
The group of little beggars standing in the courtyard watched the two of them talk. They were all confused and had no idea what this conversation meant to them.
"Ling, teach them to read more in the future. Illiteracy is really a trouble."
Su Li told Fang Ling again. This time, the little beggars understood and their eyes lit up. Could it be that they could also read and write like those officials?
One month ago, they didn't even dare to think about such a good thing.
After handing over the trifles, Su Li finally began to do business. She asked Heidan to take out a bag of polished glutinous rice and poured it into a basin to wash it. After soaking it for two hours, Fang Yuan came back from the Baiwei Building and was shocked when he saw the scene.
Was Su Li going to cook a new dish?
Now almost everything in the Baiwei Building was managed by Fang Yuan. Although Shopkeeper Wu was still there, Su Li caught his secret of hiding money. In order not to be sent to the government office, he could only follow Su Li's order and pretend to help cover up the truth in the restaurant.
After solving the problem of Shopkeeper Wu, Su Li had already taken over the Baiwei Building. However, Su Li didn't make false accounts and gave all the profits to the Su Family, which made Fang Yuan very confused.
"What are you thinking about? Come and help me. "
At this time, Su Li's voice came. Fang Yuan immediately woke up and quickened his pace to run over. Su Li waved to Heidan and said, "Go to your eldest brother to learn kung fu, in case you fall behind."
Heidan now knew what "kung fu" was. He immediately nodded and ran away happily.
"Is Qu Qingning teaching Heidan and others the family practice method? That boy always abides by the rules of the family … "
Fang Yuan was surprised. Su Li glanced at him and said nothing.
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment and held his breath. Yes, the Qu Family was gone. Why did Qu Qingning keep it a secret? Did he want to die alone? Not to mention Qu Qingning, even Fang Yuan was the same …
"I remember that the practice method of the Qu Family is open to both men and women. Su Li, why don't you …"
Su Li was slightly stunned and immediately shook her head with a smile, "Ling can learn it, but I don't."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly and said, "You don't want to learn it? Although the practice method of the Qu Family is not the best, it is also an extremely rare second-grade practice method in the martial arts circle. If you learn it, you can reach the acquired first hurdle and protect yourself.
”
Su Li still shook her head and didn't want to dwell on this topic too much.
Fang Yuan knew that Su Li was extremely stubborn and could only sigh in his heart. He gave up the thought of persuading her and looked at the polished glutinous rice in the water.
"You bought a whole warehouse of polished glutinous rice and a lot of distilling yeast. Are you going to make wine this time? "
It was not difficult for Fang Yuan to guess what Su Li wanted to do from the things she bought before. But the wine on the market had already been saturated and there were countless wineries. Even if Su Li used the more expensive polished glutinous rice to make wine, it was only a little better than those wines. The cost was much higher than the gain.
"Why do you ask so much? Come and help me."
Su Li didn't answer. Fang Yuan was very helpless. But he was also used to Su Li's keeping him in suspense. He walked over and fished out the polished glutinous rice. According to Su Li's instructions, he poured it into the steamer with cloth and spread it evenly.
Boom!
The fire was burning in the hearth. As time went by, bursts of rice fragrance came out. About an hour later, Su Li asked Fang Yuan to stop. She took out all the polished glutinous rice to cool, added the distilling yeast and stirred it evenly. Then she put it into a small jar and spread it flat with her hands. Soon there was no jar.
"Next, you and Qingning pay more attention to the wine jar. If there is wine, you can taste it. The taste of the wine can't be too sour. When it is sweet or sour, call me."
Su Li instructed carefully. Fang Yuan firmly remembered and didn't dare to miss a word. Although the polished glutinous rice used this time was very little, it was still hundreds of taels of silver. He was not a wasteful person.
After finishing the business of the wine jar, Su Li hurried to the Baicao Tang and began to see patients. Although it was a little later than usual, the waiting time was acceptable. Until midnight, the last patient left. Su Li stretched herself and looked at the dark night outside. She moved the door plank and was about to close the door and leave.
Suddenly!
The smell of blood assailed her nose. A resistance stopped her from closing the door. Su Li's pupils shrank slightly and she looked down.
