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

Qian Mingshu covered his face with a snap.

Xia Bai'an, do you fucking look at your eyes?

Mo Che was stuffed with sugar-filled glutinous rice cakes, and the black air in his eyes almost overflowed, but Xia Bai'an was still smiling.

"Take a bite, everyone is an accomplice of skipping class and idleness, you can no longer punish us with a black face."

Liu Pipa and Li Xiuhong also covered their faces.

Hopeless.

Mo Che suppressed the anger in his heart, and pushed aside the dishes in front of him, the glutinous rice cake wrapped in white sugar in his mouth was too greasy.

Mo Che looked coldly: "Have you had enough trouble?"

"No fuss, let me ask you if it tastes good. Has the sugar melted?" Xia Bai'an took the plate and sat down again, took out a stool and patted him, motioning for him to sit down.

Mo Che ate half of the glutinous rice cake, his throat rolled, and the sweet and greasy taste rushed straight to the top of his skull. He still sat down with a cold face: "It's sugary, it's too sweet."

"That's delicious." Xia Bai'an put the glutinous rice cake that he had only eaten into his mouth, breathed out hot, and called Tian.

The few people next to him were silent and did not dare to speak.

Instead, Mo Che watched her bite off a small piece of rice cake with her small mouth, and the translucent sugar water rolled down on the plate.

Inexplicably, Mo Che felt that the sweet taste in his mouth was not so cloying anymore.

Xia Bai'an took advantage of the opportunity to put another piece of glutinous rice cake on the grill, and watched Mo Che give the book to several children, probably the dean specially asked him to go and get it.

After all, apart from the dean, there is basically no one in this world who can make Mo Che make a trip in person just for a few books.

She was eating the glutinous rice cake filled with sugar, when she heard Mo Che's voice in her ear: "Less sugar."

"...Are you here to deliver books, or to rub the rice cakes?" Xia Bai'an hurriedly counted the remaining rice cakes in the basket.

These were sent by Miao Linlang, it is said that relatives beat them, it was just a basket.

Seeing that she still felt sorry for a few pieces of glutinous rice cakes, Mo Che pinched the back of her neck impatiently: "I'll buy some back when the time comes."

"Okay, then this time I'll give you two yuan at most, and I'll eat three yuan." Xia Bai'an shrank back to the warm basin reluctantly.

After speaking, she distributed a few small glutinous rice cakes on the shelf to the children.

"You're not here just for Ciba, what else do you want to say?" She suddenly broke the short silence.

Mo Che sat on the small bench with his back straight.

His red phoenix eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at Xia Bai'an: "Ji Shitang suddenly started to collect bulk goods, and went to small vendors to buy medicines, so it was to fight against you."

Xia Bai'an raised his eyebrows: "No wonder that kid Xia Lei came over to eavesdrop. He wanted to know my plan, so we should cut off the peace early."

"You may not be able to win over Ji Shitang," Mo Che said bluntly.

"They may not be able to collect all the bulk goods." Xia Bai'an suddenly stood up on his knees, and patted Mo Che's pancakes, "Remember to take my three pieces of glutinous rice cakes back to me."

After speaking, she took the cloak from the hanger and walked outside.

Mo Che gestured to the servants outside the door to let them follow Xia Bai'an, but he really stretched out his knuckle-boned hand, picked three pieces of glutinous rice cakes from the basket and wrapped them in a handkerchief.

Qian Mingshu was dumbfounded, but couldn't help asking: "Master, what does this mean?"

"Ji Shitang collects bulk goods at a high price, and it's not too much higher. If there is no heavy money, favors and trust can take advantage of it. The favors and trust she earned from small vendors in the capital in the past few months are almost worth using Got it."

After Mo Che explained, he glanced at the stunned people in front of him again, and finally turned to Qian Mingshu, "What? You won't be able to learn anything if you follow Xia Bai'an. You're stupid, don't you know how to learn more?"

"..."

Why don't you say that Xia Bai'an didn't teach me well!

Qian Mingshu couldn't express his suffering, so he could only slowly bow his head and apologize.

Mo Che continued to bake glutinous rice cakes, while telling Qian Mingshu: "Many businesses are unfair. Money is the bargaining chip on the surface, but long-term vision and human trust are the bargaining chips in the dark. Both are indispensable."

"Understood, Master."

Qian Mingshu nodded seriously.

While watching Mo Che's familiar movements, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are you good at everything, including cooking and baking glutinous rice cakes?"

Mo Che pinched the tongs, with flames reflected in his eyes: "Because I don't believe in people, I like to control everything in my own hands."

……

For half a day, Xia Bai'an wandered outside.

The news of Jishitang was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and everyone knew it, but everyone who got involved wanted to get involved.

But not everyone follows Jishitang's lead.

Xia Bai'an found the street vendors one by one, and kept coming and going.

She didn't return to the shop of Tongji Hall until evening.

The children and Qian Mingshu were studying hard, while Liu Pipa and Li Xiuhong were reconciling accounts.

What surprised Xia Bai'an the most was that Mo Che hadn't left yet, but was sitting quietly on a chair and flipping through the books. Seeing her come back, he slightly raised his eyebrows: "How is it?"

Xia Bai'an untied his cloak and put it aside, just smiled: "As expected. Ji Shitang has a good plan, but some small traders dare not take risks, because they are afraid that something will happen to Ji Shitang, so they will collect bulk goods at a high price. And the drug farmers want to make money, so they are all ready to give it a try. I really can’t get these people back, but I found some small traders.”

Mo Che tapped the warm teapot at hand: "What else do you have left?"

Xia Bai'an smiled, walked up to him and sat down, touched the teapot, and there was indeed water at the right temperature.

She poured herself a cup of tea.

"I went to find Orion."

"What do you mean?" Mo Che asked.

"I want some tiger bones and snakes. In addition, I told them to bring back any strange fungus and grass. Then I will use the price list and picture book to calculate the money for them." Xia Bai'an took a sip. The hot tea finally dispelled the chill all over my body and gave me a jolt.

The corners of Mo Che's mouth turned up a few degrees: "Orions are quicker than Yaonong, but if you receive goods like this, it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"I was not prepared to confront Ji Shitang head-on. Tiger bone wine and snake wine are the killer's cards."

While talking, Xia Bai'an leaned in front of Mo Che, knocked on the table and said excitedly, "I've heard that there are not many shops in the capital that can make medicinal wine, which makes it easy to poison people. But if I do it here Tiger Bone Wine and Snake Wine will be my only ones at that time, and if I grasp Orion and Medicinal Wine, I will stand halfway."

Seeing that her eyes were full of excitement, Mo Che raised his hand to brush away the dead leaves from her hair: "Medical wine is hard to come by, who do you want to get your hands on?"

"The dignitaries." Xia Bai'an smiled and leaned his head towards him, asking him to clean up for himself, and said, "I can't win the medicinal materials dealer for a while, and I can't keep up with money, wealth and human relationships. I can only use the method of top and bottom to help the world." Since Tang is relying on the power and authority to stand firm, as long as I can take advantage of it and get a piece of the pie, those medicinal material dealers may not give me any face."
