Lin Xiaoyue’s pretty face flushed red.

“Ahem–” Then, she lowered her red face.

She had just turned sixteen, and there was still a year to go.

Sigh, it wasn’t that she was unwilling, but she was afraid that she would get pregnant too early.

As a woman who had received higher education before the apocalypse, she did not want to have children too early.

She hadn’t even dated enough yet, and she was already a mother. She didn’t dare to think about it.

Moreover, the conditions in ancient times meant that it was dangerous to have children. She was not mentally prepared for that.

Li Xiao’s heart skipped a beat as he tried to suppress his desire.

Then, he got up and carried Lin Xiaoyue into the room.

After that, he placed her on the bed as she was too shy to look at him.

Just as Lin Xiaoyue was struggling in her heart, worried that she would be pounced on, she heard Li Xiao’s laughter.

“Hehe, go to bed.”

His voice was magnetic and pleasant, and Lin Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief. But at the same time, an inexplicable sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Before she could reply, Li Xiao had already turned around and left.

Lin Xiaoyue’s blushing face instantly stiffened, feeling as if she had been played.

She really wanted to get out of bed and argue with Li Xiao, but after thinking about it, she chose to be a coward.

Pulling the blanket over, she turned her body and closed her eyes.

At the desk outside, Li Xiao shook his head, and continued to work.

In the following days, Lin Xiaoyue felt as if time had slowed down.

She was rarely busy with work and enjoyed her vacation.

Every day, she would wander around the mountains and rivers, play mahjong with her family, those in Prince Anyang’s residence, or the people of the Liang residence.

Half a month later, she finally brought the Liu family back to Daishi Village.

After leaving for more than half a month, the outside world had changed a lot.

The chilies and potatoes had been collected from the various manors, but they were still busy.

On the contrary, there were more and more jobs in the workshops in the manor. Many of the NangongArmy soldiers who were originally responsible for farming joined the workshops to process chili products.

In addition to the pepper workshop, the pickled pepper workshop that Lin Xiaoyue had approved to build in Mao’er Village had also started construction.

Moreover, the pickled vegetables were ready to be eaten.

Thinking back, Lin Xiaoyue had asked them to build the pickled pepper workshop because she did not want to waste the last remaining green peppers.

Who knew that in the end, there were so many green chilies left in each manor that the workshop could not stop working for a long time.

Considering that the workshop had already been built, it would be a waste to only make pickled peppers, so she approved the production of some other pickled vegetables.

Other than pickled peppers, they also made some pickled ginger, cowpeas, radishes, and so on.

As a result, they were quickly used in the kitchen of each manor.

Yes, Lin Xiaoyue had mentioned before that the pickled vegetables could be used in recipes.

The chefs of the Nangong Army had already mastered the method of cooking with pickled vegetables.

Shredded potatoes with pickled peppers, shredded pork with pickled peppers, and fish with pickled peppers. There were also stir-fried shredded pork with ginger and stir-fried duck with ginger.

It could be said that in the half a month that she had been away, the chefs of the Nangong Army in the various manors had all displayed their abilities.

Using pickled vegetables as an ingredient in the dish caused the dish to be very appetizing. After the soldiers ate it, they liked it very much.

Everyone praised their mistress.

In the Liu residence, Lin Xiaoyue also complimented the food made with pickled peppers.

After understanding the situation, she arranged for Head Fang to contact Ruyi Restaurant and prepare to promote the pickled vegetables.

Lin Xiaoyue was overjoyed to find another way to make money.

Apart from this, the business of the chili and bacon workshops was also picking up.

Since the supply problem of potatoes and cold cakes had been solved, the business of the existing shops was booming day by day.

The newly opened shop was also based on the brand and focused on taste, attracting a large number of customers.

As for the chili workshop, due to the good sales of chili products from the Liang and Zhou Trading Companies, they could earn a large sum of money every day.

Even though Zhou Shi was pregnant, they had been busy on the front lines to prevent problems.

Lin Xiaoyue rushed back this time because she received Hei Gang’s message saying that her sister-in-law was pregnant. He asked her to hurry back and keep an eye on her so that her sister-in-law could relax a little.

When Lin Xiaoyue saw Zhou Shi, she was a little surprised to see that her stomach was flat..
