Ye Muyu looked up and saw that there was someone in the kitchen. She walked in and saw what Xiang Ling’er and Madam Hu were doing.

“Madam, you’re awake?” Madam Hu heard the sound and turned her head to see her. She smiled and called out.

“What are you guys doing?”

“Where’s Chu Heng?”

“Master went to the old residence. He said that he wanted to see which relatives and friends he hadn’t informed. He also wanted to confirm the approximate number of people at the banquet.”

“This servant is teaching Young Miss Ling’er how to make grass jelly.”

“Miss Ling’er said that in their village, they usually make ice jelly, similar to grass jelly,” Madam Hu explained.

Ye Muyu thought that Chu Heng had basically solved tomorrow’s matter, so she should be able to relax. She could not help but praise this husband for being too responsible.

“Sister-in-law, look. This is the grass jelly that I personally made. Although it looks black, I didn’t expect it to taste so good.” Xiang Ling ‘er looked at the solidified black grass jelly in the basin in surprise.

“This is the magical part of nature,” Ye Muyu said. “It’s like making tofu.”

The grass jelly that the two of them were making was really made from Chinese mesona and straw ash. The brewing process looked a little ugly. The water was all black, but it hindered the taste of the finished product after it solidified.

“Sister-in-law, say, if we mix the grass jelly and ice jelly, then set up a pergola to sell it in the summer, there should be a good business, right?” Xiang Ling ‘er had gained a lot of knowledge in the past two days.

In the morning, she chatted with the Madams and learned about their daily lives from them. It turned out that they were really different from the common people in the countryside. They used to buy everything they wanted without any heartache for money.

In Mrs. He’s words, “My husband has plenty of money. If he doesn’t use it, wouldn’t it be left for him to raise a concubine?”

After hearing this, Xiang Ling’er only had one thought. She wanted to do business with these Madams!

They were too generous.

Apart from that, she also followed Aunt Hu in the afternoon. Not only did she learn cooking, but she also heard some things about her cousin-in-law’s business.

This was the reason why her mentality had changed so much.

“That’s a good idea, but you have to choose a good place. Does your village have a main road where many merchants pass by?”

“Yes.” Xiang Ling’er nodded.

“Two miles outside our village, there’s a tea shop. It usually sells tea, but also sells noodles during the winter. That road is considered a main road. Although there aren’t many people, it can still earn ten or twenty copper coins a day.”

In other words, it was a small business.

“There are too few people. If you really want to sell it, you have to learn how to cook first. I’ll arrange a place for you when the time comes.”

“Cousin-in-law, that won’t do. I’ve already taken advantage of you a lot.”

“Don’t think too much.” Ye Muyu smiled. “We can earn money together.”

“Really? Didn’t you just want to help me? I don’t even know how to repay you.” Xiang Ling ‘er blushed.

Ye Muyu pretended to be unhappy. “I’ll get angry if you overthink things this much.”

“Cousin-in-law… I… I’ll be obedient and won’t say anything else.”

“Be good, just be obedient.” Ye Muyu nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Xiang Ling’er continue to make ice jelly, Madam Hu could see clearly from the side. Since Ye Muyu liked Xiang Ling’er, Madam Hu naturally had to support her.

When Chu Heng came back in the afternoon, he was very lucky to have a small bowl full of ice jelly, grass jelly, some red beans, and peanuts.
