Su Qing checked the white wine to ensure it was safe before bringing it into the house. After she brought all the dishes to the table, Ji Shuisheng invited Yang Zhi and the bodyguards over. Xing Ruhai, Cheng Yu, Grandpa, Old Master Qiu, Qiu Yongkang, Zhong Yong, Li Daniu, Jiang Laoqi, and a few of Ji Shuisheng’s brothers were invited.

When the dishes were served, Ji Shuisheng invited everyone to sit.

The one sitting in the main seat was Qin Feng. The one sitting next to him was Old Master Qiu. Until now, Old Master Qiu still did not know who Qin Feng was. He thought he was Su Qing’s father.

Cheng Yu sat next to Old Master Qiu, Xing Ruhai sat next to Cheng Yu, and Qiu Yongkang sat next to Xing Ruhai. Both of them were well-educated and had endless topics to talk about. They shared the same political views on the court and regretted not meeting each other earlier.

Ji Shuisheng invited Yang Zhi to sit next to his grandfather. He sat below Yang Zhi and left an empty seat for Su Qing. This was a seat that only the guests could sit in.

The status of women in the Great Xia Kingdom was very low. Women were not allowed to sit at the table when men drank and discussed. Women from wealthy families were not allowed to show their faces in the Inner Residence, and women from poor families had to serve them at the table at all times.

However, Ji Shuisheng did not have those rules for Su Qing. She was stronger than men in charge of battle, so why was there no place for her when they were drinking?

Yang Zhi didn’t expect Su Qing to treat him to a meal that was not just porridge. She prepared a table full of good dishes. The two tables were filled with people. The dishes were not inferior to the biggest restaurant in the city, especially the pork intestines and stir-fried pork belly. They were simply divine dishes for drinking.

“Su Qing, thank you.”

Yang Zhi thanked Su Qing by raising his bowl. Su Qing quickly poured herself a bowl of wine and stood up to toast Yang Zhi. “Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yang.”

She had never been good at saying such polite words. She raised her bowl and drank it all in one gulp after forcing out a sentence. She found that the Tartan wine was burning after drinking it. There was only spiciness but no mellow taste. It was as if she had caught fire after drinking it.

This kind of wine was the best in Tartan. Only the royal family could drink it. If she made good wine, would the sales be bad?

Su Qing began to think about making money again. Wine would sell better than soy sauce, and the best market for soy sauce was in the Central Plains because the people of the Central Plains were particular about food.

The biggest wine market was in Tartan. Their winters were long and bitter, and drinking wine could warm their stomachs and bodies. That was why they liked to buy strong wine. When they were in Tartan, she had casually asked about the price of wine. A jar of good wine costs ten taels of silver, and ordinary water wine costs three taels of silver.

No wonder the Third Prince didn’t show any shock when the black market in Luo City was extorting him. That was because the price of wine in their country was so high.

Seeing Su Qing finish the wine in one gulp, Yang Zhi could not be at a disadvantage to a little girl. He also raised his bowl and finished it. This wine was spicy. It was satisfying.

Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing worriedly. He saw that her snow-white skin was covered with a layer of redness from her cheeks to her neck. Her eyes were no longer as cold as ice due to the alcohol, and the water ripples added to her charm.

Su Qing was even more beautiful like this. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. She had one hand on her neck, and her lazy appearance made Ji Shuisheng’s blood boil. She seemed to be very hot.

Xiaoying sat at the same table as Li Daniu and the rest. Beside her sat Xiao Qi, who was seated steadily on a small stool. Master’s food was delicious. Her little mouth was full as she ate. She was also picking up food with her chopsticks like a human.

Xiaoying didn’t want to eat anymore, so she helped Xiao Qi pick up some food. She felt that it was delicious just watching her eat.

Li Daniu and Zhong Yong looked at Xiao Qi curiously, especially Li Daniu. He wanted to reach out and poke this little fellow, but he couldn’t help but reach out his demonic hand to pinch her little face. Xiao Qi used her chopsticks to hit his demonic claw back.

It was so painful that Li Daniu grimaced in pain. He did not dare to casually stretch out his hand to pinch this hot-tempered little fellow.

Xiaoying’s stomach hurt from the laughter of these two people. She gave Xiao Qi a thumbs up, “Ha, Xiao Qi is awesome.”

“Where did you pick this up from?”

Li Daniu covered his hand and stared at Xiao Qi, muttering. Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him and protested.

You’re the one who doesn’t look like anything. I can still confuse you with the beast language! Are you bullying me for not being able to speak human language?

“Hey, look… It can understand me?”

Li Daniu seemed to have discovered a new continent. He had forgotten about the pain from Xiao Qi and pointed at the fierce Xiao Qi as he shouted excitedly.

“Hehe, this is fun.”

Zhong Yong was very obedient. When he saw Li Daniu being slapped by Xiao Qi, he only watched and did not make a move. He hid his two big hands under his armpits and protected them well.

Su Qing turned around and looked at Xiao Qi. The little fellow had occupied the mountain so quickly. She had her style. As expected of a baby war G.o.d.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yang Zhi and the escorts drank to their heart’s content. Not a drop of wine was left in the two jars, and the two tables of meat and dishes were eaten clean.

Cheng Yu listened to Su Qing’s suggestion and gave Yang Zhi the formalities of the grain store and the official’s approval. With these two things, Yang Zhi would be able to go unimpeded.

The following day, Yang Zhi and the escorts packed up and prepared to set off. Su Qing came to send them off and took out a brocade box containing medicine and a letter to Yang Zhi,

“Brother Yang, please take this medicine and letter to Second Master Su. Please keep it well.”

“Alright, don’t worry.”

Su Qing had already informed him about this, and Yang agreed readily. He knew that the medicine and the letter were very important, so he did not hand them over to others. He kept them with him.

This time, they only had six carts of good leather to escort back. They were not planning to sell the cattle but kept them for next year’s farming. The sheep had already been distributed to everyone.

They did not plan to sell the remaining twenty-one fat sheep. They would shave the sheep in the spring of the following year. The wool spun into thread was very valuable. The fertility of the sheep was very strong. These fat sheep in Tartan were especially strong. By the time they bred in summer, their numbers would double. They could not do such a stupid thing.

“Brother Yang, this bag is fried meat strips, and this bag is steamed dry food. You can take it with you to eat on the road.”

Su Qing was thoughtful. She woke up early in the morning to cook. When she cut the meat yesterday, she left a large piece of lean meat and fried it into jerky for Yang Zhi to eat on the road.

“Thank you.”

Yang Zhi was very touched. It was the first time he had seen such a considerate employer.

Su Qing looked around, wondering why Ji Shuisheng was not there. Yang Zhi was about to leave, but he didn’t come to send him off. She didn’t know what he was doing.

Just as Su Qing wondered if she should ask Xiaoying to look for Ji Shuisheng, she saw Ji Shuisheng bringing Qu Da, Zhong Yong, and a few of Qu Da’s subordinates over in seven empty carriages.

Su Qing raised her eyebrows.. What was Shuisheng up to?
