“Give me a bottle then.”

Jiang Wu murmured behind his sister, “When we get back, I’ll teach you a new set of moves that Master just taught me.”

Yingbao turned her head, “Alright. Wait for me outside, I’ll get it for you.”

She practiced her basic skills morning and evening every day, but she was only slightly proficient in actual combat moves.

This time, the doctor Li gave her three days off, so she could spend time at home to spar with her brother.

The Body Strengthening Tea was made from ground giant leaf Ganoderma, mixed with honey and Pupil Spring.

Yingbao had taken a small sip before and found it quite good, so she prepared a few porcelain bottles to give to her two brothers, one bottle each, and it came in handy now.

The porcelain bottle filled with Body Strengthening Tea is about the size of an adult’s palm. If you take a sip each day, it can last for about ten days, just enough to hold until her next break.

She came out of the house and handed the porcelain bottle to her brother Jiang Wu, “Here, take a sip each day, make sure to drink it before bed, so you’ll have energy for training the next day.”

“Alright.” Jiang Wu took it and ran off.

That evening, Yingbao went to her uncle’s house for dinner with her parents and brother, because her aunt had returned from the county seat to her parents’ house, bringing her sixteen-year-old son, Zhang Yukun.

Two dining tables were set in the yard, adults were dining at the bigger table while the girls and younger children were at the smaller one.

Looking around, Yingbao saw that besides her eldest cousin Jiang Cheng and Yuanbao Jiang Jie, the rest were present, even her second cousin Jiang Quan was there.

The dinner was cooked by her uncle’s wife and second uncle’s wife, it had fish and meat as well as tofu, vegetables, green bean sprouts, fried small fish and shrimp, and pancakes, it was very lavish.

“Dad, are you really sending Dacheng to do business? He’s so young and he hasn’t even gotten married and settled down yet, what if he loses money in business?”

Jiang Yunniang served a piece of mutton to old man Jiang, complaining, “I’ve been to the shop with his uncle. What do they sell there? It all looks so messy, and we didn’t see a single customer in all that time.”

Before old man Jiang could speak, Jiang Quan interjected, “Aunt, our shop is doing well, it’s just that we ran out of goods that day.”

Zhou Family, sitting beside him, lightly tapped his arm to signal him not to speak.

Jiang Yunniang glared at her second nephew, “You guys are just selling fruit, right? Once all the fruits are off the market, what else can you sell? Are you planning to wait until next year to open the business?”

Jiang Quan: “We also have dried fruits. Yingbao suggested that we sell our family’s golden and snow fungus in the shop. Worst comes to worst, we still have the rouge and face powder made by my second aunt.”

Yanru lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard her name, not daring to look at her oldest cousin sister.

Jiang Yunniang snorted, “What does a child know? You guys are actually taking advice from a five-year-old.”

Yingbao, who was eating fried shrimp at the small table, turned to look at her aunt, only to hear her father say, “I listen to whatever my daughter says too. The reason our Jiang family can grow golden fungus and cotton is also because of my daughter’s remarks.”

Jiang Yunniang’s face darkened a bit, she defended herself, “I didn’t mean that, Sanlang, why are you making things up?”

Old man Jiang coughed, “Yunniang, let Dacheng and Erquan handle the business of the shop, and we just need to take care of the land at home. Even if we make a loss, it’s not a big deal. Dacheng is planning to build a mushroom shed over there. When he has time, he’ll grow some golden fungus. That would also bring in some silver to supplement our income every year.”

“Why bother then?” Jiang Yunniang said. “Just let Dacheng cultivate the golden fungus. That way, we can earn more than a hundred taels of silver a year. As for the shop, why not let someone else run it? Wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?”

Jiang Sanlang, who was picking up food, paused, and asked his eldest sister, “Are you suggesting we rent out the shop?”

Jiang Yunniang laughed, “Oh, with that location, nobody would even rent it for a tael of silver a month.”

Jiang Quan was a little upset, he was about to retort, but his mother pulled his arm.

“Eat your food.” Zhou Family said in a low voice, chiding him. She picked up a large piece of tofu and put it in her son’s bowl.

Jiang Yunniang continued, “Dad, why not let Yukun run the shop? He has been doing business with his dad for several years, managing a small shop is nothing for him. In the future, we can also let him sell the fruits we grow at home. I’m sure he’ll be able to sell them better than Dacheng.”

Jiang Lao was choking after hearing what his daughter said, and it took several drinks of thin gruel to swallow the pancake in his mouth.

Jiang Liu gave her daughter a stare and annoyed said: “Yunniang, the shop is Sanlang’s, and the fruit trees were planted by Yingbao. The reason why Dacheng and Erquan were sent is also for your brothers to help your two nephews.”

If Yukun would manage it, what would her grandsons do then?

And besides, how would the money earned be divided?

Jiang Yunniang said: “Mother, raising Yukun’s operation does help Dacheng too, right? Our fruit trees only yield once a season. The shop would not like to be busy for half a year and idle for half. Should it just be idle for the second half of the year? Isn’t the shop just wasted then?”

Jiang Sanlang restrained his anger and asked, “From your perspective, if your family managed the shop, would it not be wasted?”

“Yes, when the time comes, our family could sell goods there and wouldn’t it make the shop more vibrant?” Jiang Yunniang said.

Jiang Sanlang: “Elder sister, if the shop sells your goods, how much rent do you plan to pay?”

“Rent?” Jiang Yunniang looked surprised and turned to Sanlang: “Haven’t I told you? That place is very remote. Who would pay rent to rent such a place?”

Jiang Sanlang wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Chunniang who said, “Let’s eat, why talk about this at the table?”

The shop was theirs. If they didn’t agree, then whoever said anything was simply talking nonsense.

Zhang Yukun saw his uncle’s unhappy face so he quickly said, “Mother, the food is getting cold. Let’s discuss this matter after dinner.”

It was then that Jiang Yunniang stopped her impulsive speech and started eating.

After dinner, Zhou quickly ushered the two sisters-in-law and children out, while she and Dani cleaned up the dishes.

Jiang Yunniang wanted to talk to Chunniang, but when she turned around, Chunniang was gone, so she decided to rest first and to persuade her the following day.

The next day, at the break of dawn, Yingbao was awakened by a cry. Recognizing that it was her mother’s voice saying: “Xiaowu, what’s happened to you? How did you get this way?”

Yingbao jolted awake, leaned on the window to take a look, and was also taken aback.

She saw a boy standing outside the window, black all over, gazing in with bright eyes.

“Sister, why am I covered in black oil?” He stretched out his arms for his sister to see.

The phrase ‘washing the marrow’ flashed through Yingbao’s mind, she asked, “How much Body Strengthening Medicine did you drink last night?”

After eating a large piece of Five Tripod Leaf one day, she had the same experience, but not as severe as Jiang Wu. She thought it was because she sweated a lot due to the heat.

Jiang Wu shyly said, “I I drank it all.” The honey water mixed with the medicine was too good to drink, fragrant, and sweet, he took a sip and wanted a second sip, but accidentally ended up drinking it all.

At that time, he felt warm all over and was so comfortable that he fell asleep immediately, but when he woke up, he found that he had changed like this.

Yingbao was speechless, “Aren’t you going to wash up?”

“Mom is heating the water.” Jiang Wu glanced at his sister, seeing that she had no intention of blaming him, and then relaxed.

“Sister, am I poisoned?”

He was worried that he was poisoned from taking too much medicine, so he didn’t dare to tell his mother that he had drunk the Body Strengthening Medicine his sister made.

“Do you feel unwell anywhere?” Yingbao asked.

Jiang Wu: “No, I feel very well. I feel like I can run ten rounds around the village.” Usually, he was too tired to run more than two rounds.

“Then you’re not poisoned.” Yingbao pinched her nose and waved at her brother: “Please stand aside, it stinks.”
