Chapter 38

Third Sister-in-law discussed with He Zhiran and then gave the silver to the Eighth Old Zhou.

Based on Mo Jiuye's intention, she planned to squeeze everyone into the ten-person room so that they could take care of each other.

In case of any danger, she and Mo Jiuye would also be able to protect them in time.

Who knew, Third Sister-in-law snatched it first.

Since the old lady Mo and Third Sister-in-law had arranged it well, and Mo Jiuye did not object, she did not intend to meddle too much either.

It was just a room with Mo Jiuye, no big deal, at worst she could sleep on the floor.

Peng Wang took the silver handed over by Third Sister-in-law, and looked at the other families.

"Does anyone else want to book a room?"

Of course they wanted to book a room, who would be willing to live in the shed outside, it was no different from being outdoors.

Unfortunately, their pockets were cleaner than their faces, and they simply could not take out the silver to pay the room fee.

He Zhiran took the opportunity to come to Second Sister-in-law's side and secretly stuffed her with a or two silver.

"Second Sister-in-law, please help the Xie family book a room!"

Second Sister-in-law held the one or two silver, which usually looked inconspicuous, but now felt as heavy as a thousand catties.

"I thanked Ninth Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law on behalf of my parents."

At this time, she was not polite with He Zhiran either, because this was what the Xie family urgently needed at the moment.

Although the Xie family had more than a dozen people, squeezing together was still better than living outside.

It was not that He Zhiran was petty.

After all, the relationship between the Xie family and the Mo family had not been completely resolved, and she also felt that there was no need to support other families.

In the future, if the Xie family could truly reconcile with the Mo family, she would teach them some skills to earn money, at least to ensure that their future days would be better.

The Fang family was so envious of the Xie family for having a ten-person room.

They all knew that the Xie family had a daughter who was the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, and the room was opened with the Mo family's money to help.

Unfortunately, their Fang family was still at odds with the Mo family at the moment, and they couldn't even open their mouths to borrow some silver.

He Zhiran's observation skills were extremely strong, and she instantly saw the tangled expressions on the faces of the Fang family members.

Thinking of the ring Mrs. Zhao exchanged for fish today, it was worth at least a few hundred taels.

She didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune, after thinking about it for a while, she secretly stuffed Mrs. Zhao with a broken silver or two.

Now, the Mo family, the Xie family and the Fang family all had their own rooms to stay in.

Only the He family and the Li family were left.

The two families now hated not only the Mo family, but also the Xie family and the Fang family...

The Eighth Old Zhou worked very quickly, took the silver from several families, opened the rooms, and the sisters-in-law carried Mo Jiuye in.

It had to be said that these officials were really good at fleecing.

The five-tael-a-room guest room looked gloomy and damp.

If it was rented out normally, it was estimated that one hundred and eighty wen would be enough to stay overnight, and that was without encountering picky guests, otherwise people would complain.

However, He Zhiran still understood the principle of adapting measures to different times and conditions. Although the room conditions were not satisfactory, having it was better than nothing.

She simply helped Mo Jiuye tidy up the bed and let him lie down to rest before turning to leave.

Although everyone had roasted fish for lunch, after rushing on the road all afternoon, they were hungry now.

Finally there was an inn to rest, she must take advantage of the convenience here.

The ten-person room for Old Lady Mo and other women was even more bleak.

Not to mention the musty smell in the room, there was only a long kang, on which were placed pillows that were shiny from dirt and a few cotton quilts whose original colors were indistinguishable.

Old Lady Mo was also capable of adapting, seeing that her daughter-in-law and daughter were frowning, she couldn't help but remind them.

"Think about spending last night outdoors in the wild, staying here we should all be content."

"Mother, we all know, we won't complain."

When He Zhiran came to the ten-person room, the first thing she saw was Old Lady Mo preaching there.

Although she intended to arrange dinner for everyone, she felt it necessary to communicate with the elders, and she also needed the help of the sisters-in-law.

"Mother, I plan to discuss with the innkeeper to borrow the kitchen here and cook some dinner for everyone."

Hearing about cooking dinner, the sisters-in-law's eyes lit up immediately.

The Eldest Sister-in-law was best at cooking, and immediately volunteered.

"Ninth Sister-in-law, I can help out in the kitchen."

The Fifth Sister-In-Law also stepped forward: "I can do it too."

Other sisters-in-law were not good at cooking, but were still scrambling to help.

Seeing such a harmonious big family, He Zhiran was already beginning to appreciate her luck.

Although she inexplicably crossed over to another world, and had to face countless days and nights of arduous exile, being able to gain so many loving family members was also one of her great gains.

"Sisters-in-law, this is just an idea of mine, I still have to discuss with the boss to see if it can be done.

Besides, our situation is special, we can't eat extravagantly, two people to help is enough."

After hearing He Zhiran's words, everyone's eyes fell on the Eldest Sister-in-law and the Fifth Sister-In-Law.

Because these two were good at cooking, they would not go and mess things up.

He Zhiran accomplished her goal, then went out to discuss with the innkeeper.

Of course, before the discussion, she still had to communicate with the officials.

He Zhiran went straight to Peng Wang.

Peng Wang had eaten the fish roasted by He Zhiran and guessed that her cooking must be good.

Moreover, when the Mo family made a meal, they would surely bring it to them officials too.

Therefore, Peng Wang agreed without hesitation. As for how to communicate with the boss, it was none of his concern.

With Peng Wang's permission, He Zhiran went to find the innkeeper.

Money makes things easy, although they were all exiled convicts, the boss could not refuse the temptation of silver either.

After accepting He Zhiran's three taels of bribery, the boss claimed that she could use anything in the kitchen.

With things settled, He Zhiran did not immediately call the two sisters-in-law to help, but went to the kitchen alone first.

After surveying the kitchen, she confirmed that there was some white rice and white flour, as well as some common vegetables like scallions, cabbage, radish and so on.

He Zhiran saw that the seasonings in the kitchen were only lard and salt. She immediately took out some thirteen-spice and star anise from her space.

Based on the original owner's memory, she also took out some vegetables that existed in this era.

Cucumbers, eggs, green beans and a piece of pork belly.

There were many people eating, and the amount of food in her space refrigerator was not much. She took them repeatedly after those foods regenerated.

In addition, she poured some vegetable oil from her space into bowls in the kitchen, as well as appropriate amount of white sugar.

As for things like broccoli, green beans, tomatoes in her refrigerator, even if He Zhiran wanted to eat them, she did not take them out.

After all, she hadn't figured out how to explain the origin of these foods yet.

After getting everything ready, she went to call the sisters-in-law to help.

When the two sisters-in-law came over and saw the ingredients, their eyes were full of joy.

"Ninth Sister-in-law, this inn is really good, it prepared so many kinds of vegetables."

"Yeah, there's meat too!"

The sisters-in-law said while briskly picking and chopping vegetables.
