MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 449 stupid as a pig

"Where's the list?" Qin Yao changed the subject, "Bring it to me when you've finished it. I'm free now."

Liu Ji then remembered that he still had important things to do.

Really, I was so frightened by the smell of the two cakes!

Whether he will live the life of a beggar or the life of a wealthy man in the next two months, Liu Ji immediately forgets about cakes and milk tea.

He picked up his clothes and rushed to the study. He took out the list he had written last night and added a few more items before taking it to the main room and presenting it with both hands:

 “Madam, please take a look.”

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and saw a whole page, including tooth powder and toothbrush, she was indeed Liu San'er.

 Liu Ji is getting better and better at writing, and now everyone knows how to write lists according to categories.

 Item 1: Daily diet.

Even though you live in the He family, you can't just eat and drink from others - the teacher said that scholars must have integrity so that others can look up to you.

 So, he planned to buy his own cooking utensils and cook his own food during the two months he lived in He's house.

 From stoves to dishes and chopsticks to firewood, rice, oil and salt, the budget is five taels of silver.

 The second item: unexpected reserve fund, five taels.

“What is unexpected preparation?” Qin Yao asked with a frown.

Liu Ji replied with a smile: "My body is not as strong as my wife's. If I get sick or something while I am away from home, I have to see a doctor and take medicine. Otherwise, it will be bad if I delay the scientific examination."

Qin Yao looked him up and down and said, "Honestly, since we have been together for so long, I have only seen you get beaten and never got sick, so just control your mouth and cross it out."

“Don’t ask why, and don’t complain, I’m not very patient.” Qin Yao warned first.

 Liu Ji kept smiling. It was expected. Just cross it out. There are still more below.

Who would have expected that all the expenses for traveling to meet dignitaries and talented people would be crossed out.

There are also money for clothes, shoes, socks, carriage and horse fees, all of which are crossed out.

To ask is: "You don't need it."

 Liu Ji was not convinced, and the carriage fee was omitted. After all, he had the teacher's car to use.

but!

“How can I know the examiner’s preferences if I don’t have dinner with others? How can I know the questions in previous scientific examinations?”

“Also, since I have to go out to socialize, I can’t go out wearing old clothes, otherwise I will embarrass you, madam!”

Qin Yao didn't even raise her head, and raised her lips coldly, "The imperial examination is about to begin. At this time, the person who can still find you to go out to eat and drink is someone who can provide you with information?"

"Besides, what your teacher and senior brother have told you is enough. You are a group of children who have no information to exchange with each other. It is useless to socialize when you go out. Do you understand?"

 Liu Ji took a breath of cold air and got a little angry, "Ming, Bai!"

 Item 3: Gifts for the He family.

 Hundred eggs and two coins.

 A can of fine tea leaves, five coins of silver.

 Ten pounds of sausages, bring them at home.

 Two jars of kimchi, bring them at home.

 A jar of wild honey, take it at home.

A piece of wolf skin, you can take it at home.

 There are exactly six kinds of etiquette.

Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao carefully, "You can't go empty-handed when you live in someone else's home, right?"

Qin Yao hummed, "Of course you can't go empty-handed."

Before Liu Ji could be overjoyed, he crossed out the fourth item he proposed: a follower was needed.

 The reason for the application is: When you are away from home, it is easier to have a follower to get things done. He also added a note to himself, saying: so that my wife can monitor it at any time.

　　I didn’t mention him by name, but I knew at a glance that I wanted Awang.

Qin Yao looked at Liu Ji's expectant eyes and asked seriously: "If you ask Awang to go to Fucheng as a follower for you, who will take care of the land and vegetable garden at home?"

As for his clever remarks, Qin Yao felt speechless.

“Liu Ji, we’ve come to this point and you still don’t know how to seize the opportunity. That’s your loss, not mine.”

 After saying that, he returned the list to Liu Ji, got up and went back to his room to get five taels of silver and give it to him.

 As for the gift for the He family, what kind of eggs cost two cents each? What kind of tea costs 500 yuan a jar?

Since he has already planned it, he can prepare it himself, since he has money in his pocket anyway.

 Liu Ji was holding five taels of silver, his heart was vomiting blood, and all the words were written in vain!

The fragrant second pot of cake came out of the oven. Mrs. Li cut it and brought it to the table. Liu Ji picked up a piece with one hand and ate it fiercely, tears of happiness flowing from the corners of his eyes.

too! good! eat! Got it!

 In the evening, Gong Liangliao came to his disciple's house to have dinner.

Qin Yao brought the warm cake for the old man to try.

Gong Liangxiao took one bite and couldn't stop. It was very suitable for the elderly.

Soft and fluffy, sweet, delicious and effortless to eat.

Qin Yao also said that if she can find cow's milk or goat's milk next time, the food will taste better.

Gong Liangliao was so greedy that he secretly swallowed his saliva. He completely ignored the accusations made by his beloved disciple San'er against his evil wife and asked Qin Yao embarrassedly:

 “Can you write me a copy of this cake recipe?”

 When the time comes, let the He family kitchen make it, and you can eat it every day.

 Qin Yao nodded generously, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll get a pen and paper and let Liu Ji write for you."

 “Really?” Gongliang Liao rarely showed a childish expression of surprise.

Seeing Qin Yao nodding heavily in confirmation, she even smiled from ear to ear.

As for San'er, who was kneeling next to her and making love, she could only feel aggrieved first.

"Get up! A man has gold under his knees, and he always kneels down. It's a disgrace to a man!" Gong Liangxiao frowned and said in disgust.

Liu Ji was shocked and asked: "Teacher, she bullies a disciple, won't you let me make the decision?"

"Have you ever seen a man with only five taels of silver in his pocket? This is a trip to Fucheng. A meal costs several taels of silver. I am going to drink from the northwest wind. She deliberately wants to starve me to death. !”

Just as he was talking, he saw Qin Yao had brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and immediately shut up, standing resentfully behind Gong Liangxiao, like a doormat.

Qin Yao spread out the paper and waved Liu Ji over, "I want you to write."

 Liu Ji relied on the teacher's presence and did not move.

Gong Liangxiao pulled him out with his backhand and ordered: "Write!"

 Don’t let me have no cake to eat!

Liu Ji's eyes widened in disbelief. Gong Liangxuan's eyes were even wider than his own, and he showed the majesty of the former crown prince and tutor. Liu Ji was scared and rolled over to write the prescription.

He finished writing quickly and eloquently. When he saw Qin Yao leaving with satisfaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Liangliao also breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Qin Yao entering the kitchen to look at the dishes and not paying attention, he whispered to his third son:

 “You are too short-sighted, how can you achieve great things in the future?”

 The shrewd eyes glanced at the freshly baked cake recipe in Liu Ji's hand. Liu Ji patted his head and suddenly understood.

 “Teacher, it has to be you!”

Liu Ji endured his excitement and changed his attitude of ignoring the prescription. He carefully held it up and dried the ink, folded it and put it in his pocket. He whispered into Gong Liangxiao's ear and asked:

"Teacher, how much silver can this prescription be sold for? Is it fifty-two yards? Let's divide it equally."

 Unexpectedly, I got a sharp shock on my head.

Liu Ji jumped up with a cry. Qin Yao in the kitchen shook her head, as stupid as a pig!
