Acai's Sky

Chapter 701: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

Miyou Pavilion, the old residence of the Tong family

Tong Lang, the sixth daughter of the Tong family, widened her eyes and looked at the data report in front of her in disbelief. It clearly recorded that her family had donated such an astonishing amount of rice!

This huge number astonished her, and she thought to herself, "How much food did Xiao Jiuer grow? How could she possibly donate so much at once?"

At this moment, the system little treasure who had been accompanying her all the time flew over happily and said with a smile:

"Oh, my little master, don't you know? Your little Jiu'er is incredibly wealthy! Just look at the sets of exquisite jewelry she gave you, and you can imagine how wealthy she is!"

Hearing this, Tong Lang couldn't help but glare at System Little Treasure fiercely and complained unhappily:

"Hmph! You so-called wealth system, since you know that Xiao Jiuer is so rich, why don't you give her some advice!

She never even glanced at our fine rouge and powder, and told me to take them all to her shop and sell them."

After saying that, Tong Lang sat down on the couch angrily, holding his chin with both hands and looking worried.

After all, the Tong family has always cared for her. She always remembers this kindness in her heart and always thinks about how to repay them.

However, she really didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that if she accidentally took something out of the system, it would cause trouble.

On the other side, System Xiaobao was completely confused. He couldn't understand why his master suddenly became so sad and depressed. He blinked his big eyes and asked in confusion:

"My dear little master, what are you worried about? Cement roads are now available, but your little Jiu only likes bluestone roads. Even if you get cement, it will only be used to build dams. At most, it will only fill in the gaps."

Thinking of this, Tong Lang couldn't help but shake his head and muttered, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really don't know what Xiao Jiuer is thinking. It's obvious that cement roads are more convenient and practical, but she only wants bluestone..."

There is a generation gap between the aesthetic tastes of ancient people and modern people.

Xiao Baoer's wealth system has been going smoothly recently, and he has been promoted to several levels in a row!

It has taken advantage of Miss Tong's fortune, and it feels so good that it's about to explode!

However, although the upgrade speed was astonishingly fast, it was a little distressed - it didn't know how to better help its master.

After much deliberation, it decided to just go with the flow and present the mall directly to its owner. Then, it started talking about it like it was reading out a menu: "Look at this! There's a glass formula; there's also a method for processing milk powder; there's also fruit freeze-drying technology over here; and oh, there's also instant noodle processing equipment here..."

Tong Lang looked at the series of strange things in front of him, and without saying a word, he gave his own small system a big fight.

He said angrily, "What the hell is this? It's a mess! Someone has been researching glass for a long time, okay? It was the same science student who made cement."

The beaten little system crumpled its face pitifully and muttered aggrievedly, "So what do you think I should do? How can I help your lovely little Jiu'er? Or maybe we should go out for a walk and look for any mineral resources in Jialu County?"

Tong Lang rolled his eyes upon hearing this and replied unhappily, "Are you stupid? There are millions of refugees outside Jialu County! Do you think our grandparents would agree to our leaving the city to travel?"

At this point, Little System Baoer was completely at his wit's end, so he simply started to act like a spoiled brat: "Oh, what should we do? How about this, secretly revealing the recipe for instant noodles and giving it to Xiao Jiuer? Didn't she donate a lot of military rations before?"

"Oh, it would be great if we could make some compressed biscuits! This kind of food can not only be preserved for a long time, but is also easy to carry. In this way, our soldiers at the border will be able to easily go into battle and kill the enemy!" Tong Lang's eyes lit up, and various possibilities instantly emerged in his mind.

After some thought, Tong Lang stood up without hesitation and called out to her personal maid, "Come quickly, come with me to the kitchen to get some food. I want to try making compressed biscuits myself!"

After saying that, she hurried towards the kitchen, followed closely by a little maid who looked confused but did not dare to neglect her.

On the other hand, when Ah Cai heard about the actions of Sixth Miss Tong Lang, she immediately understood her intention.

However, Acai did not stop or interfere, but chose to let nature take its course.

After all, for this quirky and imaginative Miss Six, it is common to tinker with new things occasionally.

At this moment, Rong Mama, looking at Ah Cai's calm demeanor, couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at our Sixth Young Lady, she's starting to make trouble again! But, she's learned a lot this time. She actually knew to do an experiment first to see how it works! Haha..."

Hearing Rong Mama's words, Ah Cai couldn't help but burst out laughing, and continued, "Yes, in this ancient society, the more good ways to preserve food, the better. Since the Sixth Miss is willing to delve into this matter, let's let her go. Maybe she can come up with something useful!"

Just as the two were talking, Aunt Gu came hurriedly, carrying a basket of fresh and delicious fruits of the season.

She said to Ah Cai with a smile on her face, "These fruits are freshly picked and so sweet! Please send them to Miss Six to try. It will satisfy her cravings after working hard on her experiments."

Ah Cai nodded in agreement, but then added, "It's not enough to just give it to Miss Lang. We have to give some to the other young masters and young ladies as well. It will be more fun if everyone shares it together!"

So, several maids each picked up a basket of fruit and delivered it to each courtyard.

...

Xuanruitang

Old Madam Gao was sitting in the main room, flipping through an ancient book in her hand.

At this time, a maid came in hurriedly and reported to her that the Sixth Miss Tong Lang was making a fuss again, and the Ninth Miss was so considerate as to send her some fresh fruit to quench her thirst.

The old lady frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Let them make some noise. These children have been cooped up at home for so long, I'm afraid they're almost sick from being bored. It would be good to let them move around. Besides, what kind of children are not mischievous? Just don't cause any big trouble."

At this time, the little maid Lian'er was carefully massaging the old lady's legs.

When she heard the maid mention Miss Nine, her eyes lit up instantly and her hands paused unconsciously.

It turned out that Lian'er's family was a hired farmer of the Tong family. Some time ago, people from the Tong family in Beijing came back to the old house to do some work. Because they were in urgent need of manpower, they recruited Lian'er to make up the number and help with the work.

According to the rules, when the old lady and other masters returned to Kyoto, Lian'er could choose to go back with them to continue serving them, or she could choose to take her wages and go home directly.

However, for Lian'er, it would be the best thing if she could stay in the Tong Mansion in the capital and work there.

So every time she heard news about the masters of the Tong Mansion, especially those who might have an impact on her own destiny, she always paid special attention.
