For three consecutive days, Su Bin chose to stay at home, focusing on various activities. Alongside his studies in the study, he took time to teach Xiaoyu how to write and observed Qin Zhenzhen as she prepared seasonings.

During this period, Qin Silong continued to assist Qin Zhenzhen, ensuring that the two stores selling her seasonings maintained good sales. The demand for the seasonings was high, prompting Qin Zhenzhen to consider expanding production.

Thankfully, the process of making the seasonings was relatively simple. The materials were ground into powder with the help of spiritual water and then sifted to achieve the desired powdered form, easily dissolvable in water.

Some people from the village delivered sundried yam slices, and one person from the family needed to buy them.

Su Qing also stayed at home during this time, and he found that the work was not easy. Aside from purchasing yam slices, they had to wash and slice the yams before drying them. Regularly turning the yam slices during the drying process was essential as well. Weather conditions needed close monitoring to ensure the proper drying of the yam slices.

To create time for learning from Qin Zhenzhen, Su Qing would wake up before dawn. After completing his other tasks, he would then offer his help to Qin Zhenzhen, who willingly taught him.

Qin Zhenzhen was open with Su Qing, sharing all her secrets about the seasoning except for one critical aspect. Su Qing was not naive; he knew that the ordinary materials alone couldn’t produce such remarkable seasonings.

One day, Qin Zhenzhen candidly revealed, “Besides these ingredients, there is one very special and precious component added.”

“We don’t have this ingredient here. We need to import it from the outer realm.”

Qin Zhenzhen was being untruthful, but Qin Silong chose not to expose her lie.

Su Qing was aware that Qin Zhenzhen had a secretive master who did not want to reveal themselves, and he understood the sensitivity of her seasoning recipes. Consequently, he didn’t inquire further into this matter.

But Su Bin had a different understanding from Su Qing.

Su Bin felt that Qin Zhenzhen did not add the precious ingredients to the list.

But he had not yet discovered the secret of seasonings.

He found Qin Zhenzhen getting very strange.

Why did he feel so energetic after eating the dishes made with her seasonings?

Fifth Brother and Sixth Sister, who used to be sallow and skinny, were now flushed and had gained a lot of weight.

Qin Zhenzhen was the most strange one. He noticed that she ate a lot, but why was she getting slimmer and prettier?

Many times, he watched Qin Zhenzhen from behind. And he even helped her with the fire when she was cooking.

After a few times, he finally found a loophole.

Qin Zhenzhen forgot to put seasonings in the fish soup, but the fish soup still tasted better than seasonings!

Actually, when Qin Zhenzhen was cooking, apart from putting some seasonings for show, she would also put a few drops of spiritual water in the dishes.

That greatly increased the freshness of the dishes, and the main thing was that the nutrition was doubled.

Su Ning and Su Cheng had been raised by the spiritual water for a while, and their malnutrition had improved. But Xiaoyu was still sallow and skinny.

Qin Zhenzhen believed that Su Bin’s whole family needed to be nurtured with spiritual water.

It cost nothing, and she was doing a good deed.

But Qin Zhenzhen had not expected that Su Bin would pay attention to this detail.

Su Bin thought that after a few more days of observation, he would definitely find more strange things.

But time did not allow him to. He was going back to West Mountain College.

The day after tomorrow, the teacher from West Mountain College would lead the students who had passed the county examination to the prefectural examination.

The prefectural city in ancient times was like a modern city, and the governor was the same as the mayor in the modern time, who usually governed seven or eight counties..
