Jing He wrote it down carefully and said, "Girl, I remember it. I'll do it."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded without competing with her. She found another pumpkin from the kitchen and said, "Let's make a pumpkin bun."

Then she said, "Zhishu, go get some red dates and make a red date bun."

Zhishu quickly responded, "Oh, I understand, girl."

Time soon came to the afternoon. Xia Zixuan saw that everything was almost done, so she called Jinghe and the other person and said, "Let's go to the greenhouse to pick some vegetables and melons and send them to the homes of the elders in the village."

Jinghe and Zhishu responded immediately, "Yes, young lady, we'll come right after we wash our hands."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "I'll go out and wait for you guys."

Xia Zixuan came to the front yard and happened to meet Ying San and Le Han who had just returned from the county town.

"Hello, young lady. We are back." Le Han bowed when he saw Xia Zixuan.

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go and have a rest first! We can eat soon."

Xia Zixuan looked at Ying San again and asked, "How is Sister Xinyao now? Is she okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ying San hurriedly said, "Replying to Miss Xia, Madam Chu is fine except that she can't eat. But after eating the sour plums that Miss Xia brought over, her appetite has improved greatly."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "That's good. I was afraid it would be useless!"

Ying San handed a cloth bag in his hand to Xia Zixuan and said, "Miss Xia, this is what Lord Chu asked me to bring back for you."

Xia Zixuan took the cloth bag doubtfully, and when she opened it, she saw a thousand-liang silver note and two ten-liang silver ingots. She was even more confused, because if it was money for the fruit, it wouldn't cost that much!

He looked up at Ying San and asked, "Why did Lord Chu ask you to bring me so many banknotes?"

Ying San said, "This banknote is because Madam Chu loves to eat sour plums, so she wanted to buy some more. And this twenty taels of silver is from when Miss Xia was kidnapped by human traffickers last time. It is also equivalent to the human traffickers that Miss Xia found. Lord Chu said this is a reward from the government office."

After hearing what Ying San said, Xia Zixuan remembered and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest while waiting for dinner!"

Ying San clasped his fists and bowed, "Yes, thank you Miss Xia."

When Xia Zixuan saw Jinghe and the others coming, she waved to Yingsan and said, "Alright, no need to be polite. Go back! We'll be out for a while."

Xia Zixuan took the two of them and called Le Ping and Le Shan, and walked into the shed together. Soon they arrived at the shed.

Xia Zixuan said to Xia Hui who opened the door: "Uncle Hui, bring a few baskets or backpacks so we can pick some vegetables and melons."

Xia Hui responded, "Okay, girl, I'll get it right away."

Le Shan and Le Ping said, "Miss, let's go and help."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, go ahead! We'll go to the cabbage shed first, and you can go there directly later."

"Yes, girl." They both responded.

When Xia Zixuan came to the shed, she saw that more than half of the Chinese cabbage and lettuce had been picked. After picking five or six times, there would probably be nothing left.

She asked, "Did Shopkeeper Chen come to pick vegetables today?"

Jing He heard this and said, "Yes, they are here. Shopkeeper Chen sent Xiao Shitou here. He saw that the girl was not awake, so he did not disturb her."

"Well, I see."

Xia Hui and Le Ping came in with backpacks. Xia Zixuan looked at the empty field and said, "Uncle Hui, when we have picked the vegetables, you can go back with me. I will get you some vegetable seeds. Otherwise, when we have picked all the vegetables, there will be none left."

Upon hearing this, Xia Hui quickly replied, "Yes, young lady."

Then they started picking vegetables, each family picked half a basket of Chinese cabbage and lettuce, six eggplants, six cucumbers, six melons, etc. It's Chinese New Year, everything will go smoothly!

Xia Zixuan sorted out the vegetables and said to Le Shan and the other man, "Did you remember what I just said to you?"

The two quickly replied, "Yes, girl, we have noted it down."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys go quickly!"

After sending Leshan and the other man away, she took Xia Hui, Jinghe and the others back to that place.

When they got home, Xia Zixuan said, "Uncle Hui, drink some water and take a rest first. I'll go get the seeds."

Xia Hui responded, "Yes, girl."

Xia Zixuan came to her yard and said before entering her study: "Jinghe, you guys stay outside, I'll be out soon."

Jinghe and Zhishu bowed and said, "Yes, young lady, don't worry! We will keep it safe."
