Xiaoxiao did some calculations. The ripening period of the rice was about 100 days, which meant that the rice seeds in her space could be harvested after waiting for more than a month. The farmland in the space was calculated according to the high yield of the farmland, which was 650 kilograms per acre. The points in her hands would still continue to increase. In the future, she would continue to farm and harvest. Then, she would put the food she harvested into the space’s warehouse that had no upper limit and no time limit. She suddenly felt that she was rich!

Happy-

It seemed that she could lead a rich life with her family even if she did not take the path of County Magistrate Shen.

Glancing at Shen Tianci’s happy figure, Xiaoxiao sighed again.

This child was straightforward. To put it bluntly, he was single-minded. In the past, she thought that they were just customers and chefs. Now, he treated her as a friend.

She should not scheme and use her friends. She should see if there was any other way to find an academy for her brother first. She would ask Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Liu later.

After thinking it through, Xiaoxiao continued to focus on cooking. The live prawns were chopped into prawn paste. Unlike the prawn paste, the prawn meat used to make prawn pancakes did not need to be chopped too fine. Thicker bits made it even more delicious. After adding egg white, starch, salt, and the Ning Family’s Thirteen Spices Q , she stirred them evenly. Then, she added the colorful tiny vegetable cubes. It looked gratifying even before it was in the pot.

The hot pot was heated up slowly at a low fire. The two sides were golden as they were placed on the plate.

[Ding! The dish “Prawn Pancake” has been recorded for the first time. You have received 200 points! Current total points are 650!]

The chicken-flavored rice that Shen Tianci had requested was still stewing in the casserole on the small stove at the side. There was meat, vegetables, and the river’s prawns and fish. This meal could be considered sumptuous.

While waiting for the main course, Xiaoxiao made another pot of dried fruit tea. It was sour, sweet, and fragrant.

[Ding! The dish “Fruit Tea” has been recorded for the first time. You have received 100 points. Current total points are 750!]

Xiaoxiao nodded. It seemed that the points obtained from simple food were not much. [Exchange another set of wheat to plant.]

The space was feeble: [Wheat seed exchange successful. Current balance: 250 points…]

Xiaoxiao could almost see its pitiful look: [Don’t be reluctant. I can only make more delicacies if I have enough ingredients to help you level up, right?]

Not to mention the Shen Family, even the Ning Family had never seen their sister’s skills. They realized that Xiaoxiao was like a treasure. The more they dug, the more surprised they were. And every time they were amazed by Xiaoxiao’s ingenious ideas and shocking skills, she could always break the norm and reach a new height.

The rarest thing was that the spicy, salty, fresh, sour, and sweet tastes fused together. Not only did they not look messy and pungent, but they also harmonized and complemented each other.

Smelling the aroma, only County A/Iagistrate Shen could ask calmly, “Have you learned the law of Great Xia?”

This question was directed at Ning Dalang. The latter cupped his hands and bowed. “I’ve read it a few times myself.”

Back then, Old Sir Ning had obtained a windfall and bought several books at home as a facade. The laws of Great Xia were one of them. He had taken advantage of a poor scholar’s stall. That scholar was poor and had studied until he was almost broke. His mother was also sick and could only sell the books to farm at home. At that time, Old Sir Ning felt that it was not a loss to buy the books when he saw how thick they were. He only realized that they had nothing to do with the imperial examination when he bought them home. He was very angry for a while.

Little Uncle Ning did not like to read it either, so it was Ning Dalang’s turn to read it. Ning Dalang was not picky when it came to reading books. He would memorize the entire book whenever he had the chance.

Probably people who knew how to study, would cherish talents who liked to study. After asking a few questions, County Magistrate Shen started to ask tricky questions, such as “What is the 23rd law of Great Xia?” What was the law about farming and mulberry trees in Great Xia?

Miraculously, Ning Dalang could answer almost everything. Occasionally, he could understand something that he didn’t understand under County Magistrate Shen’s guidance. Sometimes, he could even draw inferences.

County Magistrate Shen couldn’t help but ask, “Which academy are you studying at?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the Ning Family members seemed to have paused for a moment. Then, their expressions were a little bitter.

However, there was no inferiority or loneliness in Ning Dalang’s tone. “I’ve never been to the academy seriously. I’ve only been a servant for a scholar for a few years. I’ll listen outside the class when 1 have the chance.”
