A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 162: Camping outside the city

"Qiqi, I learned how to make braised pork ribs from you. Can I be as delicious as you?" said the master's wife.

"Master's wife, your cooking is now more delicious than mine. Even top chefs can't compare to you."

"Okay, when we get to Fuxiangju, I'll make them a dish of braised pork ribs. If they taste it and it's delicious, I'll teach them how to make it."

"Thank you, Madam. The braised spareribs will definitely be a big hit. My restaurant will make money again."

"You little money-grubber. You only know how to make money. You have so many good things in your space. You even have the money to cook."

"Master's Wife, wealth is accumulated bit by bit, not overnight."

"Okay, Master's wife can't argue with you. Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

"I also left some food for your master and Jingze. It's warming in the pot."

Qiqi and Master's Wife finished their meal and left the space. Qiqi then called Jingze and Master into the carriage and moved them into the space to eat. Qiqi also gave the secret guards a few sesame cakes, pickles, a roast chicken, and a few bottles of spiritual spring water. The happy secret guards quickly took them.

"Thank you, OP. Thank you, OP." said the secret guard.

"You're welcome. We'll definitely treat you to a big meal when we get to Fuxiangju. You've been tired from following us on this long journey." Qiqi said.

"Okay, thank you, we won't have to work hard."

They walked for another day and arrived at the border city of Da Zhou. Qiqi planned to visit her uncle and brothers and leave some food and common herbs for her uncle's camp. She didn't know when she would come again after this time.

They entered the city and went to Fuxiangju first. Qiqi had to keep her promise. The secret guards had already informed the shopkeeper Jiang Yi. When they arrived at Fuxiangju, Jiang Yi was waiting at the door of the restaurant.

"Jiang Yi, nice to meet the host. The food is ready."

"Jiang Yi, please prepare a table for the secret guards to eat. They have worked hard too." Qiqi said.

Jiang Yi brought Qiqi and the others to the private room, poured some tea, and went downstairs to instruct the chef to prepare a meal for the secret guards.

After Qiqi and the others finished their meal, he went up to report the situation. He handed the intelligence to Qiqi, and Qiqi opened it and saw that many martial arts masters were gathering in the imperial city of Yongning Kingdom. He didn't know what was happening in the imperial city. His subordinates heard them talking and said that there were spiritual veins and spiritual stones under the ground of the imperial city.

Qiqi and the others heard this, unsure if it was true or not. She took out a large bottle of elixirs and gave it to Jiang Yi. The master's wife also hadn't forgotten that she was going to teach the chef how to make braised pork ribs, hoping it would become a signature dish at Fuxiangju.

Jiang Yi invited the master's wife to the kitchen, where she asked the chef to prepare some spare ribs. She personally prepared the ribs and taught the chef step by step how to make them. When she was done, the aroma of the braised spare ribs filled the kitchen.

The master's wife asked the shopkeeper and the chefs to taste the food. They all picked up their chopsticks and tried a piece. Finally, a few of them rushed to eat. They quickly devoured the entire plate, still looking at the empty plate with a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction.

The master's wife smiled. "Try making it yourselves. Prepare some spare ribs for me tonight, and I'll make you a few plates."

"Thank you, Master's wife," the shopkeeper and the chef saluted to her.

"You're welcome. Just try it yourself. I'll go up first."

"Master's wife, take care. I'll try to make one for you too," said the chef.

Qiqi rested in Fuxiangju for the whole afternoon. In the evening, the master's wife went downstairs to make a few servings of braised pork ribs for everyone. She taught the chef again while making them. The grateful chef thanked her repeatedly.

At 7:00 PM, the shopkeeper closed the shop and told everyone to have a good rest. We then tasted the braised spareribs made by the master's wife. The master's wife also made some other dishes.

The shopkeeper, the chef, the servants, and the secret guards all said that the dishes cooked by the master's wife were delicious, better than those cooked by the hotel's chef. The chef was helping the master's wife with the dishes and was full of admiration for her.

Everyone enjoyed a reunion dinner in a lively atmosphere. Everyone came to thank the poster. From now on, braised spare ribs will be their signature dish. They'll start serving it tomorrow.

Qiqi was particularly happy when she saw the solidarity and mutual support among the people in her restaurant.

After dinner, Zhou Jingze went back to work on his mail. Yun Jizi and his wife accompanied Qiqi to the streets. Qiqi bought a lot of portable items, including some cakes and pastries, which she could eat whenever she felt hungry on the way.

The master's wife also bought some cloth to make Qiqi a dress. Qiqi's belly was getting bigger, so her clothes had to be made loose. She also needed to make a large cape for Qiqi. She also bought cloth for Yunjizi and made him a dress as well.

Qiqi saw that her master's wife was worried about them. She also bought a piece of cloth for her master's wife and Zhou Jingze.

He even bought a set of ready-made clothes for each of the secret guards and gave them to them.

"Qiqi, you must be tired. Let's go back. If you need anything, your master and I will come to buy it."

Master's wife supported Qiqi on the way back. Yun Jizi and the secret guards were all holding the things they had bought.

Qiqi returned to Fuxiangju and rested. Shi Niang took care of Qiqi and helped her wash up. After seeing Qiqi fall asleep, she also returned to her room.

Qiqi woke up at daybreak and felt distressed when she saw Zhou Jingze with dark circles under his eyes.

"Brother Jingze, you must have stayed up all night again last night! Don't ride horses today, go to the space and rest!"

"Qiqi, I'm fine. I slept for a quarter of an hour. I'm arranging secret guards to come to Yongning Country to protect you. Too many martial arts masters have come to Yongning. I wonder what good things Yongning Country has that are attracting them."

They quickly washed up and went to the private room for breakfast. Yun Jizi and his wife were already waiting for them.

The secret guards had also eaten and were waiting for them with the carriage ready.

They quickly finished their breakfast and planned to go to the Marshal's Mansion. Qiqi saw her uncle and brother, and since she didn't have time to stay any longer, she left a lot of food for her uncle and said goodbye.

On the way, Zhou Jingze and Qiqi also received letters sent by carrier pigeons.

It was all about the Yongning Kingdom's Imperial City. They were getting a little impatient. Zhou Jingze sent Qiqi, Master, and Master's Wife to the space, and he ordered the secret guards to gallop forward.

After several days of continuous driving, they finally arrived outside the city of Yongning. A large number of martial arts masters were also setting up tents outside the city. Zhou Jingze had his secret guards set up a large tent far away from them so they could gather some useful information.

Zhou Jingze and Yun Jizi were afraid they would recognize them and their master, so they both wore masks. Qiqi and her mistress remained in the tent, unseen. Only a few secret guards were there to gather information.

The secret guards returned with a report. They had heard that there was a hidden cave in the large lake inside the imperial city, containing spiritual veins and spiritual stones. However, none of them had ever been down there. No one knew if it was true or not.

Many martial arts masters are led by elders or clan leaders to snatch spirit stones.

The secret guards also asked who leaked the news, and they said they didn't know, but since so many people were talking about it, they believed it.
