Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Winter is approaching, and the cold wind sweeps through the streets and alleys of the capital.

Before dawn in the morning, the vendors in the morning hurriedly put on cotton clothes and came out to set up their stalls. It was quite lively.

The mist hadn't cleared yet, and the maids and mothers who were shopping in the mansion also shuttled around the city.

Among them, a beautiful figure is particularly special. She is wearing a long light pink dress, her hair is pulled up high with silver hairpins, her face is slightly powdered, and the slightly raised eye ends are outlined with a touch of gorgeousness. Hong, followed by four little dolls.

The three little dolls were also stuffed into small balls of different colors in new cotton clothes, and they followed behind her in different heights, with big and small bags, as if they had bought a lot of things.

The older child was holding a wooden box in one hand, wearing only a thin layer of clothes this winter, only showing a small half of his forearm, and was looking up to ask people.

"Mother, there isn't much aloe vera in the capital, but what's the use of getting so much oil?"

Xia Bai'an turned his head, and while checking his list, he used the half-burnt wood as a pen to tick off.

"Although the sales volume of aloe vera cream has not decreased in winter, the cost has increased. At this time, it is not cost-effective to mass-produce aloe vera cream. I am already trying the body lotion that can be stored all year round. The oil in your hand, It is used to make rouge, not only to look good, but also to add something to make lip balm to prevent chapped lips."

After Xia Bai'an finished speaking, he lowered his head and saw Mo Qian's lips turning.

The mother and son looked at each other, and Mo Qian immediately opened his mouth to bite off the dry skin on his lips.

Xia Bai'an quickly pinched his cheeks, and narrowed his eyes: "Mother doesn't blame you, she said her mouth was rough. Fortunately, I still left some of the things I made for Xue'er two days ago."

After finishing speaking, she took out a small box from her pocket, dug out a little lip balm, and applied it on Mo Qian.

Above the market, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Mo Qian, a young man, was forced to rub his rouge by his mother!

He blushed instantly.

However, Xia Bai'an pinched his face, helped him lick his lips, and then smiled slightly: "Not bad, not bad, but the gloss is a bit too much, I'll make a recipe next time. Next stop, Uncle Zhou's Wonton Shop."

"Alright, it's Uncle Zhou's little ravioli!" At the end, Lin Miao smiled and threw herself into Xia Bai'an's arms.

Xia Bai'an took him into his arms and hugged him up, seeing Miaomiao's flushed face, he finally felt relieved.

Several days have passed since the chaos in the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin cheered up slowly and helped with the housework, Xia Bai'an also pulled out her own people.

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she returned to Xia's mansion, she was preparing to rent Shiqulou for Mo Che to celebrate his promotion, when news came from Qingshan Town.

A letter from Li Xiuhong: "The profit of aloe vera paste has decreased a lot. People in the village can't do it anymore. The money spent on shipping and freight has recently increased. It seems that there are more bandits in Li country."

In the letter sent by Qian Mingshu, most of the things mentioned were about the chamber of commerce.

"The people from the Chamber of Commerce were dissatisfied with you before, but now they are jealous after seeing the money, and want to come over to share a piece of the pie. I will take [-]% of your profit to silence them first, so don't praise me hahahaha."

At that time, Xia Bai'an looked at those hahaha, and only cared about his own money.

However, the sound of aloe vera paste, coming from summer to autumn, can be considered to have earned thousands of taels of silver, but it hasn't caught fire in the capital yet.

Xia Bai'an naturally understood that it was not enough publicity, and he had to invest money.

However, she was busy with establishing a firm foothold in the capital, so she hardly had time to prepare the aloe vera paste.

And... Her space is very short of materials now.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai'an was sitting down with the four children, but his eyes fell on his own palm.

The wound here was already healed.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up today, a bloodstain suddenly appeared. She didn't pay attention to it, but when she checked the space daily, she found that the daffodils that were put in last had withered. At that time, she realized that something was wrong.

In this world, space is completely renewed with vitality.

Even in order to survive, she had to start filling the space with something.

Moreover, the best is the best that she cultivated by herself.

Thinking of this, she took a bite of the small wonton and told Mo Xue, "Wait a minute, we still have to buy seeds."

Mo Xue was puzzled: "Why do you need seeds?"

"We were all born as farmers, so naturally we must not forget our roots."

Xia Bai'an grinned and joked, while quickly finishing the hot wontons, took out a pen and paper on the spot, and simply wrote a reply to Qian Mingshu and Li Xiuhong.

Uncle Zhou watched, quickly wiped his hands and came over: "Girl of the Xia family, can you write a letter to our son for us?"

Uncle Zhou's wontons are delicious, but he is an illiterate old man.

Xia Baian understood it, not only agreed, but also took out another beautiful rice paper, and said, "What do you want to say, I'll write it for you, and send it to you when the time comes."

"Thank you!"

"Uncle Zhou, you're welcome, just put more wontons in my son's and daughter's bowls next time."

"That's for sure!"

Uncle Zhou approached with a smile.

The four children couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

No matter what the emperor rewards later, and no matter how often she travels to and from the prime minister's mansion, she can always mingle with the people around her.

Xia Bai'an wrote two letters, and told Uncle Zhou: "I happen to be delivering a letter too, so I'll help you."

"Oh girl, the money for posting the letter..."

"No money, as long as you give more wontons next time, the children still have to pick the seeds, so let's go first."

Xia Baian put down the money and left in a hurry.

For the convenience of communication between the two parties, Qian Mingshu deliberately left two or three people here.

Xia Baian handed the two letters to them, and as usual gave Uncle Zhou an extra amount of money to help people run errands, and on the other hand he asked: "Tell your young master Qian, I only trust Li Shugen and Li Xiuhong's family in Yunmai Village, as for Qingshan Town I don’t believe a word of the chamber of commerce here, this time when I come to the outskirts of Beijing to do business, anyone from the Zhang family and the Qian family can come, and the rest don’t need to be informed.”

"Understood." The man nodded, "The young master also received news a few days ago. He said that he knew that before setting up the chamber of commerce, he just hoped that Qingshan Town and Yunmai Village would not fight each other and open up the channel first. Now that the channel has been opened, the Chamber of Commerce's People also taste the sweetness, and we don’t have to involve them in everything.”

"Is he smarter recently?"

Xia Bai'an smiled and praised.

The man nodded and bowed: "It's all taught by Miss Xia and Mr. Mo. I'll deliver the letter first."

"It's troublesome."

Xia Bai'an watched the man leave, and when he turned around, he saw the twins and Lin Miaomiao arguing about buying candied haws, and Mo Qian was stopping him: "Mother said eating too much candy will damage your teeth."

She smiled helplessly, stepped forward and led the four children away, packed them into the nearby seed shop, and threw the money bag on the table.

"Let me bring some radish and cabbage, platycodon anthurium, etc. that can grow in winter, I will plant them now!"
