"It is true that the cattle used for farming by the people cannot be slaughtered at will, but we have no restrictions here for those raised specifically for meat, the price is just a little higher. There is no restriction on mutton, and it can be bought at any time." Dalang said.

"I never thought that there are people here who raise cattle. They must be feeding the powerful. How many ordinary people's families can raise cattle? They are all used for farming." Or just like Aunt Guihua's family, Li Qiuge was strolling on the bustling street.

Li Qiuge imagined the luxurious life of those rich masters. They might be sitting in a richly decorated restaurant, with flickering candlelight and sparkling silverware. The waiters served respectfully, presenting exquisite dishes in front of them.

The gentlemen may taste the top-grade steak, which is tender and juicy, and exudes an alluring aroma. They will cut the meat with elegant movements, carefully savoring the delicate taste of each bite. Paired with high-quality red wine, they enjoy the perfect fusion of mellow wine and food.

Or maybe there is a carefully crafted seafood platter, with lobsters, crabs, and shellfish arranged like a work of art. Every bite has the freshness of the ocean, making people feel like they are at a feast by the sea. They will praise the freshness of the ingredients and the cooking skills, and pay attention to the ultimate experience of quality and taste.

Desserts are also an indispensable part, with exquisite cakes, chocolates and fruit platters to satisfy their taste buds. These gentlemen's pursuit of food is not only to fill their stomachs, but also a pursuit and enjoyment of the quality of life.

“As long as they have money, they can eat anything. They may enjoy it more than the emperor.” Even when he was in the palace, the chefs cooked all kinds of food to please him!

Shi Dalang couldn't help but sigh that the life of the rich and powerful was really enviable. However, he also realized that such luxurious enjoyment was not something that everyone could have.

He thought of the elders and villagers in Shijia Village, who worked hard but could barely make ends meet. In comparison, his life in the palace was a good one, but it was just a dream.

Shi Dalang cherishes everything in front of him even more, and hopes that one day all the people can live a better life.

He continued walking, his heart full of longing for the future.

But deep down, he hated the emperor even more! Shi Dalang's heart was burning with resentment towards the emperor. His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and anger, as if the whole world was unfair to him. Every decision made by the emperor, every exercise of power, aroused endless resentment in his heart.

He thought of the injustice and suffering he had suffered, the days when he was oppressed by the imperial power, and his anger grew stronger. He hated the emperor's stupidity and the officials who did whatever they could for their own benefit.

However, Shi Dalang knew that he was now just a humble civilian and was powerless to change anything. He could only swear in his heart to work hard to live and protect himself and the people around him. He decided to bury this resentment deep in his heart and turn it into a force to motivate himself to keep moving forward.

Maybe one day, he will be able to find a way to make the emperor hear his voice and provide a better life for the people. But now, he can only endure silently and wait for the opportunity to come.

As Li Qiuge walked, her mind had already flown to the hot pot table. She began to imagine the delicious ingredients and sketched a rich picture in her mind.

First of all, of course, there is the tender beef and mutton, each slice is as thin as a cicada's wing, the texture is clearly visible, and it can be cooked in a few seconds in the pot and melt in the mouth. There are also various kinds of meatballs, fish balls, shrimp balls, beef balls, each bite is full of elasticity and freshness.

Vegetables are also indispensable. Verdant greens, juicy mushrooms, and golden potato slices roll in the pot, absorbing the deliciousness of the soup and becoming more delicious. In addition, Li Qiuge also thought of tofu, vermicelli, rice cakes and other ingredients. Their unique taste complements the spicy flavor of the hot pot.

Li Qiuge's mouth was watering as she thought about it. She couldn't wait to take out her phone and start making a list of ingredients to buy to prepare a sumptuous hot pot meal.

Li Qiuge was thinking like this when a ding sound came, and her thoughts went to the space. She didn't expect that she could control her phone even though she was outside the space, and saw that all the ingredients she wanted had been purchased. Li Qiuge was so excited! The space was upgraded again!

The shop was very close to where they lived, so in a short while, they had returned home.

"Brother Qiu, where have you been?" When her mother Wang Xiulian saw her daughter and son-in-law coming back together, she hurried to greet them.

"Mom, we just went to see a few shops. Now that we are in Yundu City, we can't just sit there and live off our savings. I want to build up our business so that the villagers in Shijia Village will have jobs." Li Qiuge held her mother's arm and said as they walked. She wanted to go to the kitchen to take a look.

"Brother Qiu, have you bought another shop? What kind of business are you going to do? Doing business is not easy. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!" Wang Xiu Lian is now living a life without worries about food and clothing. She is already very satisfied. She didn't expect that her brother-in-law is so powerful and bought several more shops. How much money does this cost!

"Mom, you underestimate me too much. Who am I? I have been enlightened by gods, how could I lose money? Don't worry, my business will definitely be very profitable. You just need to help me count money every day!" Wang Xiu Lian thought about it and it was true. Her daughter had a special fate. She must be different from ordinary people. With the blessing of gods, she can succeed in whatever she does!

"Since you said that, mother is waiting to help you count the money. By the way, where are you taking me? Aren't we going to the kitchen? What are you going there for? It's not time for dinner yet." Wang Xiulian realized then that her daughter was taking her towards the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm going to prepare something delicious today. Let me go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available." Li Qiuge was happy at the thought of eating hot pot.

"Okay, I'll go with you to see what delicious food you can make. It's just those few dishes." My daughter had only eaten a few dishes she had never seen before when she came to Yundu City. Now she wants to show off her strength and create new dishes! My daughter is getting more and more confident. I really don't know what she does every day!

"Mom, I can cook a lot of things, but I didn't get the chance to do so when I was at my grandparents' house!" Thinking about the life in the past, I could only eat meat a few times during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Why would I think about creating new dishes? It was a good thing as long as I wasn't hungry!

"We are all rural people. We just need to be full and not hungry. We don't care whether it tastes good or not. Didn't you hear your father say that if he could eat dumplings once, he would be so happy that he would fly!" Wang Xiulian said to her daughter with a smile. Now the two of them and Li Qiuge are enjoying the blessing of dumplings and buns.
