“Let Eldest Sister-in-law take care of Xiaohu at ho for a day. Everyone in my family is free now. It’s only for half a day this afternoon. We should be able to handle it ourselves.”

Qin Dazhuang thought about it and felt that what his daughter said made sense, so he nodded.

Qin Xiaoyao chatted with Qin Dazhuang for a while longer before sending him off.

After sending her father off, Qin Xiaoyao went out to look for Doctor Li.

When the Li family saw Qin Xiaoyao, they were very warm and welcoming. Then they learned that Qin Xiaoyao had co to them to look for the doctor. When he considered that the town was basically safe now and that Qin Xiaoyao had promised to send him back and forth, Doctor Li took his dicine box and went with her gladly.

Along the way, Qin Xiaoyao saw many soldiers patrolling the streets.

At the sa ti, there were also civilians who ca out.

Every one of them looked quite spirited. It was completely different from the ti when Mountain Spring Town was occupied by the mountain bandits. Doctor Li couldn’t help but smile when he saw this.

He sighed with relief knowing that the Hundred Herbs Hall might be able to open for business again in a few days.

Qin Xiaoyao was in a good mood as well. She even praised the Imperial Court’s army and the Second Prince.

When they arrived at the Song family’s house, Doctor Li went into the room to check on Song Que.

The Song family mbers were all waiting anxiously.

Madam Liu, in particular, looked very worried.

Very soon, Doctor Li finished his examination.

He didn’t give a prescription, but simply took out three doses of dicine from the dicine box and gave them to Qin Xiaoyao.

“Mr. Song’s high fever has subsided. Only the common symptoms of a cold are left.

“From hereon, take three more days of dicine and rest for a few days. He should be able to recover fully.” After handing the dicine to Qin Xiaoyao, Doctor Li explained to the crowd.

Everyone was finally at ease.

In particular, Madam Liu, who had been holding her breath, almost fainted again.

Luckily, Song Yun and Wang Xiaoi were keeping an eye on her and helped her to a seat.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly asked Doctor Li to also check her mother-in-law’s pulse.

After ascertaining that Madam Liu only suffered from too much fright and that her body was fine, Qin Xiaoyao was relieved.

After she sent Doctor Li off, she went to look for Madam Liu and the others.

She told them about the situation outside and that basically the storm had passed.

“It’s all over now. Peace will be restored in Mountain Spring Town soon.

“I’ve already decided. From today, our family will continue to sell bean sprouts.

“Also, after the new year, I will let my husband and Ye’er attend the academy.” Since the social disadvantages no longer existed, and she was not short of money, it was ti to send her husband and little brother-in-law to school.

As soon as she said this, joy swept across everyone’s faces.

They weren’t afraid of being busy. They only felt at ease when they were busy.

On the contrary, they had been idle during this period of ti. When they were idle, they tended to think too much, and every day was filled with fear.

Moreover, getting the boys in the family to go to school was sothing that everyone had been planning. And today, it was about to beco a reality.

Madam Liu was the most excited, and she looked at Qin Xiaoyao with gratitude. The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth lifted into a smile.

“Also, I plan to open a porridge shop after the new year.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard her.

Although Mountain Spring Town was peaceful now, the food problem had not been solved yet.

Previously, there had been a drought and a locust plague. If people’s lives in Mountain Spring Town were to be restored completely, it would probably take a long ti.

To open a porridge shop, one would need a lot of food.

Previously, the Song family did not sell their food supply, so they still had so ans to try to operate this kind of business.

However, they had already sold the grain, and now Qin Xiaoyao wanted to open a porridge shop. Would this… work?

Faced with everyone’s puzzled gazes, Qin Xiaoyao could easily guess what they were thinking.

However, she did not rush to explain. Instead, she smiled.

“I have a way to solve the food supply issue. When the ti cos, you can all wait to get busy with !”

The bean sprout business would last until the next spring, after which there would be new farm vegetables on sale.

At that point, the bean sprout business would not be so good.

As for setting up stalls, the inco from those was not as stable due to the unpredictability of the sun and rain.

Furthermore, when Qin Xiaoyao delivered the goods to Fortune Mansion, the profit was not that much when the source of the goods was not under her control.

Among those goods, the most profitable ones were still her own goods, such as the century eggs and the bean sprouts.

Of course, she could continue to supply these goods to Fortune Mansion in the future.

However, it didn’t make much sense to continue with the other goods.

If the porridge shop’s business could get better in the future, she could get Daniu to contact Fortune Mansion directly. In fact, it was no big deal.

In short, in the coming year, the family’s inco would mainly be from the porridge shop and the supply of century eggs to Fortune Mansion. Then, in the winter, they would also have the bean sprout business.

The porridge shop would be her focus from now on.

In fact, Qin Xiaoyao had been thinking about this for a long ti.

It was just that she didn’t have much savings in the past. In addition, she had a variety of businesses, and her total inco had always been quite good. She didn’t have ti to do more anyway, so her actions on the porridge shop stopped at the planning stage.

However, now, she had obtained 11,000 taels of silver in one go.

With so much money, it was more than enough to open ten porridge shops, let alone one porridge shop.

With the money in hand, Qin Xiaoyao did not have to fret, and it was easy to get things done with money.

Now that the town was undergoing restoration, she would buy a few shops to collect rent and then choose one to open a porridge shop.

In the future, she would not have to worry about her family’s livelihood.

When she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart felt very much at ease.

Madam Liu and the others looked at each other and finally nodded in agreent.

Their daughter – in-law/sister-in-law was so capable that she could even get to know soone like the Second Prince. She was reliable in whatever she did.

Qin Xiaoyao gave the crowd more encouragent again and asked Madam Liu and the rest to make so delicious dishes for lunch before leaving.

After calming down her family, Qin Xiaoyao returned to her room to accompany Song Que.

When she saw that Song Que was in good spirits, she told him about her upcoming plans.

Song Que was surprised that Qin Xiaoyao had already planned how to spend the sum of money in her hands so quickly, but he didn’t object.

“With the food stocked up in the cellar, it’s not a problem for you to open a porridge shop,” Song Que said.

“However, you have to choose the location carefully when it cos to buying a shop.”

Although the civil unrest in Mountain Spring Town had ended, the people would still live in a ti of famine and impoverishnt for a long ti.

There would be many people who were willing to sell their shops and move their entire families. It was indeed a good ti to buy a shop.

However, even if they bought the shops, it was highly likely that they would not be able to rent them out.

It would be impossible to make a living by collecting rent for the ti being. “Mm-hmm! When you’re feeling better, we’ll go and look around together,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

“Although it was a close call this ti, our family has also made a fortune.

“Only the two of us know about the 10,000 taels of silver, but the 1000 taels were sent by the governnt office in broad daylight. I’m afraid we won’t be able to hide it from the people around us.”

“As for that 1000 taels, I think it’s better to spend them on things visible to the public.” It would also prevent other people from hankering after their money. Song Que nodded.

“If it’s just a porridge shop, it doesn’t cost 1000 taels of silver,” he said.

“Obviously, one shop will not use up all of it. So, when the ti cos, we’ll just tell outsiders that we’ve bought two shops.

“And we can also improve the clothes we wear and the things we use in the future.

“After the new year, when you and Ye’er attend the academy, you can dress up more decently.”

Now that Qin Xiaoyao had money, there was no need to scrimp and save like they did in the past..
