Everyone in the Hou Mansion's kitchen was very nervous when they saw Qin Xiaoyao's arrival.

Fortunately, they soon discovered that Qin Xiaoyao was easy to get along with, so they cooperated and started beating her.

When the fiery hot pot soup is brewed, a choking smell permeates the air.

Everyone doubted whether the food made by their master was edible.

Qin Xiaoyao's eyes were bright and he was very energetic.

While the soup continues to cook, people bring over the meat and vegetables that have been prepared in advance.

When the soup is almost done, you start pouring meat and vegetables into it.

The fiery red soup drowned the meat and vegetables, and soon dyed them a beautiful red color. You can tell at a glance that they are delicious.

Seeing this, the servants changed their minds.

Some people even couldn't help but swallow their saliva, wanting to taste it.

Qin Xiaoyao directly picked up a small iron pot, and then poured the cooked hot pot from the big pot into the small pot.

In the end, of course, not all of them left, and more than half of them were even left behind.

"Okay! Here two people will help me deliver this pot of hot pot to my yard. In addition, prepare a bucket of rice."

"As for what's left in the pot, you can use it yourself and have a taste."

"When you are free next time, you can practice in the kitchen. This way, if I want to eat something later, it will be easier for you to cook it," Qin Xiaoyao said.

The servants looked happy.

"Yes!" he responded quickly.

Qin Xiaoyao then left the kitchen and returned to his yard.

As soon as the results arrived, the little greedy cat woke up after smelling the fragrance.

"It smells so good, Master! What is this food?" Princess Xiangyang ran towards Qin Xiaoyao excitedly, looking at the servant behind Qin Xiaoyao who was holding the pot.

"I made hot pot for my master. Today, you are in luck." Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile.

I bypassed Princess Xiangyang and walked towards the house.

Princess Xiangyang glanced at the pot in the servant's hand again, and then quickly chased Qin Xiaoyao.

"Master can also cook? That's amazing!" said the stinky person.

"My teacher knows a lot. As time goes by, you will know." Qin Xiaoyao replied without humility.

Entered the house.

After the servants put down their things, Qin Xiaoyao and Princess Xiangyang started driving together.

Considering that the little girl might not be used to spicy food, she actually didn't make the hot pot very spicy.

But despite this, the little girl was so hot that she burst into tears.

"Woo... delicious!" But even though she was eating in a panic, the little girl couldn't stop using her chopsticks and kept mumbling.

"Slow down, no one is trying to rob you." Qin Xiaoyao couldn't bear it anymore and said.

"This hot pot is so spicy, but so delicious. Master, you are so awesome!" the little girl said while eating.

"How can we call it 'hot pot' if it's not spicy? Take your time, but if it's really bad, wash it with water before eating. If you eat it too quickly, be careful of diarrhea." Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

"Don't be afraid. My stomach is fine." The little girl didn't take it seriously at all.

As a result, in the afternoon, the little girl knew that she had lied.

Not to mention running to the toilet, the anus suffered a lot and was made very hot.

Seeing the little girl's wilting appearance, Qin Xiaoyao felt a little distressed and a little amused at the same time.

"It's okay. I'll just eat it a few more times and get used to it." Then he comforted her.

The little girl actually nodded obediently after hearing this.

The little girl was unwell, so naturally she couldn't practice martial arts for long.

Qin Xiaoyao ignored her and called the servants in the mansion to help him wrap the preserved eggs.

Yes, she is planning to return to her old business and develop her own preserved egg and preserved egg porridge business.

Naturally, she asked the servants in the house to buy the eggs on the street, and she prepared the preserved egg mud herself.

Then she arranged for all the servants who had free time in the house to help her wrap preserved eggs.

There was nothing she could do. It took more than a month for the preserved eggs to mature from wrapping to ripening. She felt that the earlier she had to prepare, the better.

Princess Xiangyang was very curious when she saw Qin Xiaoyao doing this.

"Master, what...are you doing?" He quickly approached Qin Xiaoyao and asked her.

"Make preserved eggs." Qin Xiaoyao didn't hide anything and said it directly.

Seeing the little girl's confusion, she explained with a smile: "The preserved eggs are delicious when they are made."

The little girl's eyes flashed.

"Want to do so much?" Then he asked again.

The baskets of eggs and duck eggs are all made into preserved eggs.

Just the two of us, Master and her, will eat it until the end of the year.

Even if the preserved egg is really delicious, their fighting power is not that strong.

Qin Xiaoyao saw the little girl's shocked expression and knew that she had gone astray.

"What are you thinking about? Of course you can't use it all for yourself."

"When it's cooked, I'm going to sell some. In addition, I'll keep some to open a porridge shop."

"Sell?" The little girl was surprised.

"Yeah." Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

"There are a total of sixteen servants in the Hou Mansion. Even the monthly payment is a big expense. With only your master and my little salary, we can maintain the daily expenses of the manor.

It’s all quite annoying.”

"So, I thought, I need to buy some property and start some business."

The little girl was even more shocked.

"Master, are you so short of money? Didn't my father reward you with a lot of money before?" A thousand pieces of gold is quite a lot.

Besides, in such a huge prince's mansion, there are only sixteen servants. How can there be too many?

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the little girl.

"Your master only has a small amount of wealth in his hands, so you will lose as much as you spend. If you don't think of a way to develop sustainably as soon as possible, one day the money will run out and you will drink the northwest wind?"

The little girl thought about it and found that what her master said seemed to make sense.

But before, she had never thought that her master would worry about such mundane things as money.

After all, she has never been short of money.

Of course, the main reason is because she has a lot of monthly money, and also because her father, the emperor, and her mother often give her rewards.

"But Master is like this. It's not an option to do it yourself or ask the servants in the house to help. It's better to buy some people from outside and open a workshop." The little girl said.

There are only a few people in the Hou Mansion, so who will do their work?

If it's fine for a short period of time, over time, a good Marquis Mansion will definitely be in chaos.

"That's the truth. But I don't have time to arrange those at the moment, so I can only do some calculations first."

It's a good idea to open a preserved egg workshop. But I don't know how much capital it will cost.

Renting a place, buying people, and buying eggs and duck eggs all require capital.

If she spends too much, she might not have much left over when she opens a porridge shop.

Thousands of gold sounds like a lot, but when converted into silver, it only amounts to ten thousand taels.

Houses and prices in Kyoto are not cheap. If you really want to do something big, it's not that easy.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyao couldn't help but flash the figure of Yun Niang in his mind.

Yun Niang asked her for help, but she agreed to give her two thousand taels after the work was completed.

Also, Yun Niang is familiar with the situation in Kyoto and has a wide network of contacts.
