Gai Ke was extremely surprised, “Master, eating too much chili can cause internal heat, do you really want all of it?”

Gu Yichen raised an eyebrow, “If I can’t eat it myself, can’t I give it away?”

Giving it as gifts to relatives and friends, though it only cost a hundred taels of silver, was indeed very respectable.

After all, the chili sauce really tasted quite good.

“Also, tell that person not to sell this chili sauce in Yangjiang Prefecture to anyone else. If there is more chili sauce in the future, they can also deliver it to my uncle’s mansion!” Gu Yichen said in a deep voice.

As for other places, he wouldn’t care.

“Yes!”

Gai Ke didn’t find anything inappropriate about the Crown Prince’s words and immediately went to find Yuan Liuwang.

Yuan Liuwang was also waiting for news.

Xie Zhinuan had told him that if someone tasted this chili sauce, they would surely ask to buy it again, asking him to wait a day or two when selling it.

When he saw Gai Ke, Yuan Liuwang breathed a sigh of relief and began to admire Xie Zhinuan; she had even anticipated this.

The two exchanged bows and introduced themselves, and while Gai Ke’s tone carried a bit of condescension, Yuan Liuwang didn’t mind and remained respectful and polite.

“My Crown Prince has said he wants all the chili sauce you have. How many pots do you have?”

Yuan Liuwang thought for a moment, “Twenty pots, no more than thirty at most. However, it will be half a month before I return to the city. If you are in a hurry, you can come with me to fetch it!”

Gai Ke pondered, thirty pots were three thousand taels, not a small amount.

“Then wait here, I’ll go back and ask the Crown Prince if he wants to come with you to fetch the chili sauce!”

Yuan Liuwang nodded quickly and showed Gai Ke out.

He leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.

Thirty pots, three thousand taels, how much could Xie Zhinuan earn?

He could hardly earn a hundred taels in a hard month’s work, sometimes even less, and Xie Zhinuan had earned so much in such a short time…

For a moment, Yuan Liuwang felt nervous and panicky.

If Xie Zhinuan earned too much silver, would she still think highly of him?

He didn’t know, but he felt very depressed.

Thinking about it, Yuan Liuwang felt heavy-hearted.

Xie Zhinuan was unaware of Yuan Liuwang’s turmoil; she made two pots of chili sauce a day, her nose turning red from the spiciness.

She guessed it might be her time of the month coming soon, which also made her somewhat irritable. Thinking of the nearly thirty pots of chili sauce she had, she was unwilling to continue making it, so she either pickled or dried the chilies.

Working lazily, she made some sanitary pads and stored them in a box.

Silly girl brought out the boiled eggs in plain water and added some sugar water, letting them serve themselves.

Yuanbao sat on the side and couldn’t help asking, “Silly girl, what’s wrong with Miss Xie these days?”

“She’s unwell!” The silly girl said with a hehehe laugh, turning to head back to the kitchen to bring out more sugar water, “If it’s not sweet enough, you can add more yourselves!”

The silly girl had discovered the secret of the well too, which improved her inner strength rapidly after drinking from it. Living nearby, she could drink from it several times a day, and her martial arts had advanced quickly.

Grandma Chen’s chronic illness also seemed to improve; she no longer coughed at night, slept until dawn, felt her eyesight had improved a lot, and her breath was steadier. Her inner strength had also progressed.

While others slept, the three of them practiced their energy circulation, as drinking from the well was too convenient for them.

They were also very curious about what exactly Xie Zhinuan had put in the well.

By the beginning of July, when the weather grew hotter, Xie Zhinuan looked at the pots of chili sauce in the room. Yuan Liuwang had not returned, and the silly girl was getting anxious, but she was not worried at all.

“Auntie Chen, let’s have porridge for dinner, and see if the fermented tofu is edible yet!” Xie Zhinuan said lazily.
