Madam Zhao spent some time peeling the peas. She did not waste a single one.

The green peas were very fresh. They were grown from seeds that Bai Wutong had brought from the modern world. What Carefree City was planting now were all cultivated in Youjia village.

There were a smaller quantity of them, and many people had never tried them.

Madam Zhao asked happily, “How do we eat these peas?”

Old Master Zhao said with certainty. “This belongs to the Great Empress’ residence! Go buy a few pork trotters. We’ll stew pork trotters with peas and have a good meal together!”

A pig only had four limbs. Even though everyone’s standard of living had improved, pig trotters were still expensive goods that could not be bought often.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll go immediately!”

When she heard that she could eat pork trotters, Zhao Erwa immediately cheered. “Okay, okay! I’ll go with Mother!” He could also look for Little Peach along the way.

Madam Zhao rolled her eyes at him. “Do your homework well. If you still score zero for your test at the end of the semester, 1’11 skin you alive.”

Zhao Erwa looked at Zhao Lanzhi for help with a sad face.

Zhao Lanzhi pretended not to see and chuckled.

Zhao Erwa wanted to run, but Father Zhao squatted at the door and sharpened the kitchen knife. The sharp blade made his butt sit firmly again.

Then he should finish his homework as soon as possible. After he was done, he could look for Little Peach.

Fortunately, Madam Zhao had left early. She had bought the last two pork trotters.

The hair on the pork trotters was burned clean on the stove. Father Zhao waved the kitchen knife and chopped it into pieces.

Madam Zhao’s method of stewing the pea and pig trotters was relatively simple. She placed the pig trotters in the pot, added ginger, onions, garlic, and peppers, and washed them with hot water. After scooping them up, she slowly stewed them. Only when the pig trotters were cooked and tender did she pour the peas into the pot and stew them at low heat.

The hot pea stewed pork trotters were served on the table. Coupled with red oil dumplings and a bowl of rice, it was tempting.

Madam Zhao filled a bowl for her husband and children and left the pork trotter that was most difficult to chew for herself.

When Zhao Lanzhi saw this, she silently scooped a few more pork trotters for Madam Zhao and placed them in her bowl.

Zhao Erwa nibbled on the pork trotter and said happily, “Mother, your skills are too good! 1 almost bit my tongue off.”

Madam Zhao chuckled. “These peas are also very delicious. They’re soft and sweet.”

Zhao Erwa, who did not like to eat vegetables, actually ate a large bowl in one go. He licked his lips and said, “As expected of the peas from the Great Empress residence. They’re just delicious.”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled involuntarily.

It was indeed quite delicious. Perhaps because there were many servants in the Great Empress’s residence who fertilized and took care of the vegetables carefully.

Even the soup was extraordinarily delicious.

Everyone finished the entire pot of pea stewed pork trotters.

Zhao Erwa touched his round stomach and broke off a few more sections of sugarcane. He rubbed them with a towel and handed them to everyone. “A little sweet dessert after the meal. It’s like filling an immortal’s mouth with joy.”

The sugar cane in the Great Empress’ residence was very big and thick. It was filled with sweet juice that quenched one’s thirst.

Zhao Erwa clicked his tongue. “How sweet! It’s like drinking sugar water!”

Old Master Zhao suddenly said, “We can leave some roots behind. Our family will also plant some sugarcane next year! There must be many people buying such sweet sugarcane.”

Zhao Erwa agreed. This way, he could achieve the freedom of eating sugarcane anytime he wanted.

Sugar cane was the main ingredient for sugar production. If it could not be sold, it could be made into white sugar or sold to the candy workshop.

Madam Zhao agreed and looked at Zhao Lanzhi. “Let’s order some more sugarcane from the Great Empress’ residence. We can sell sugarcane next year. We can also publicize that it’s sugarcane from the Great Empress’ residence.”

Without the permission of the Imperial Court, any discussion that involved the Great Empress’ residence were not allowed, let alone selling sugarcane in the name of the Great Empress’ residence.

Madam Zhao did not know about this. But Zhao Lanzhi had opened a cosmetics factory and already understood all the regulations.

She shook her head. “We can buy more and keep them for planting, but we can’t use the Great Empress’ residence as a marketing gimmick.”

Zhao Lanzhi was becoming more and more like a career woman. Madam Zhao and Father Zhao would basically listen to her.

“Alright, let’s not talk about it then.”

Zhao Erwa found Little Peach reading under the tree.

Little Peach looked up. “Why are you here?”

Zhao Erwa sat down. “To see what you are doing.”

“What else can I do? I’m just reading. Little Cat has already entered the research institute, but we haven’t entered secondary school.”

Zhao Erwa felt his butt hurt at the mention of Little Cat. “Why are you mentioning him? Look, what did I bring you?”

“What?”

Zhao Erwa suddenly took out the sugar cane and doll from behind. “Dang dang dang, the sugar cane produced by the Great Empress’ residence and the limited edition doll.”

Little Peach said in surprise, “It’s really for me?”

Zhao Erwa raised his chin. “Of course!”

Little Peach took it and rubbed her snow-white face against the soft doll. She was pleasantly surprised. “It’s really too cute. I saw that everyone else has it. I happen to want one too.”

“Thank you!”

Zhao Erwa blushed and scratched his head. He skillfully changed the topic. “Eat the sugarcane, it’s especially sweet.”

Little Peach tore open the sugarcane and took a bite. She immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes. “Yes, it’s really sweet!”

She looked so sweet when she smiled!

Zhao Erwa kept staring at her in a daze. Little Peach was puzzled. “Why aren’t you eating?”

Zhao Erwa suddenly came back to his senses and his face turned red. “I ate too much at home just now. Eat it. I’ll get you more after you’re done.”

Little Peach said seriously, “You’re the best.”

Her big round eyes were watery as she looked at him. Because she was sitting so close, he could even count how many eyelashes she had.

Suddenly, Zhao Erwa stood up and ran without saying goodbye.

Confused, Little Peach asked, “Why did he leave?”

“How strange.”

During the Double Ninth Festival, Stinky earned more than a hundred taels of silver.

He meant what he said and asked Lin Yue to help him buy the books for everyone to read for free.

Without another word, Lin Yue specially opened a shop. Apart from buying all kinds of books, he also placed all the weekly magazines, novels, and newspapers on sale.

One could read without spending money and quickly attracted a large number of readers.

However, the room was less than 20 square meters. How could it accommodate so many people? Moreover, with more people, the difficulty of managing the books increased. Lin Yue had no choice but to restrict the flow of people into the reading room.

Even so, it did not stop everyone from reading.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the reading room was filled with people.

Stinky came to look for Lin Yue and was stunned to see so many people.

He did not expect everyone to have such a strong desire for books.

A little boy who was not much older than Stinky looked at the queue eagerly, hoping that the queue would move faster.

Unfortunately, when he was brought back by his parents, he still could not enter the reading room to see the weekly magazine he had been longing for.

The little boy’s gaze was so pitiful. Stinky said to Lin Yue, “Uncle, I’ll give you another 50 taels. Buy more books for everyone to read!”

Although paper was produced at a cheaper cost, different books needed to be written by specialized people, printed by workers, and all these add up to a cost.

Buying a book was a huge burden for ordinary people.

In the free reading room, one could read all kinds of books that usually cost money. Of course, it would become a place that everyone would flock to..
