Chapter 1025: Chapter 1027: Zhao Yang’s Innermost Feelings (4)

It was only after she had walked far away that the Great Han came to his senses, shook himself, and hurried down, anxiously asking the madam, "Mother, who was that woman just now, and what was she doing?"

Seeing the Great Han in such a frantic state, the madam thought he had taken a liking to the Wife of King Qin and couldn’t help but let out a laugh, waved her handkerchief airily, and cooed, "Oh dear, my lord, don’t bother about that woman. Just cherish your Aunt Qiu Hong. Although Qiu Hong is not as good-looking as that woman, she is excellent at her work. What’s more, that lady is someone you cannot afford to think about..."

The Great Han had no interest in flirting or exchanging sweet nothings. He grabbed her arm harshly and said sternly, "Woman, stop coquetting and prattling with me. Tell me quickly, what was that woman doing? Where has she gone now?"

"Ouch, ouch... it hurts, let go... I’ll tell you... I’ll tell you... isn’t that enough..."

Cai Wei, adhering to the principle of finishing good deeds thoroughly, "sending Buddha to heaven", went to At Market to buy ingredients for spicy hot pot. What was not available at the market, she secretly took out from In Space, and then followed the Old Grandma and Old Grandpa back to their home.

When they arrived at the elders’ home, Cai Wei personally demonstrated how to make the spicy hot pot and detailed every step in writing, ensuring they wouldn’t forget.

The elders were of Old age; running a porridge stand was not a sustainable solution. Although it was bearable in the warmer seasons despite being laborious, the northern winter was brutal, where even urine could freeze into icicles. Continuing to run the stand in such conditions was harsh!

With this recipe, they wouldn’t have to suffer anymore. They could use their savings of over twenty taels of silver to open a specialized shop selling spicy hot pot. The northern folks favored strong flavors; the spicy, numbing, and fragrant hot pot was sure to sell like hot cakes!

After teaching them, Cai Wei handed over the written page to the Old Grandma. If they forgot anything or had any doubts, they could have their granddaughter read it to them.

Amidst the heartfelt thanks and gratitude of the elders, Cai Wei left the Old Grandma and Old Grandpa’s home and went to the County Magistrate Shen’s Mansion.

Today, she was specifically visiting the County Magistrate Shen. Establishing her own Commercial Kingdom in Northern Ridge wasn’t easy: it required a significant amount of capital and an ample workforce.

For instance, she wanted to construct a bustling commercial street in Northern Ridge’s Royal City. Although Northern Ridge could provide labor workers, she couldn’t find engineers to build houses; she also planned to develop adult entertainment but couldn’t recruit a mass of Adult Entertainment Workers. Hence, she needed the support of County Magistrate Shen, the land master of Qing County.

When she arrived at Shen Mansion, it was already late. The County Magistrate had gone to the County Government Office, but Madam Cui and Juhua were at home. They were delighted to see Cai Wei, bustling about to serve tea and offering her snacks and fruits.

Madam Cui had gained a bit more weight since their last meeting and was all smiles, clearly living a comfortable life.

After sitting down, Madam Cui took Cai Wei’s hand and started complaining, "You girl, always appearing and disappearing without a trace. Now that you are here, you must stay for a few more days. Juhua just went to the Nursing Homes yesterday and picked some fine mushrooms by the Manor’s forest. In a short while, at noon, let’s make dumplings stuffed with mushrooms!"

Cai Wei had planned to go to Lady He’s Roast duck for lunch to meet sisters Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu, as she had promised them this month to let them return to Northern Ridge, but Madam Cui insisted that she stay for dumplings in the mansion with such enthusiasm that she could only respectfully comply.
