Chapter 376: Chapter 363: Brother, I Understand You

He was planning in his heart to celebrate with a glass of wine at dinner.

“Right.” Chu Jinnian suddenly pulled the reins to slow down, “Send a message to Jinzhou, telling him I’ll celebrate the fifteenth of August with him.”

“Yes, sir.” Jing Zhao nodded vigorously, “I will carry out your orders immediately.”

Then he frowned, “But I’m afraid the Fourth Prince will complain again, saying that the elder son always disappears during festivals, he doesn’t even show up at the palace banquet…”

“Isn’t he used to this after all these years?” Chu Jinnian dismissed the idea.

Jing Zhao was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, ever since Chu Jinzhou was settled in Qingzhuyuan, Chu Jinnian would always spend the festivals with him, not even the emperor’s decree could stop him, let alone the nagging of the Fourth Prince?

There’s no denying that the elder son had a great deal of affection for his younger brother, the third son.

This was utterly envy-inducing.

Elder son, do you need any more brothers?

Perhaps the kind that can devour five bowls of food in one sitting…

Zhuang Qingning had been to Miao Village several days in a row.

Each day she would leave at dawn and return late in the evening.

She had finally taught the techniques for making sweet potato glass noodles. She also managed to streamline some of the processes at the workshop. The first batch of sweet potato glass noodles came out from the workshop.

There weren’t any significant issues regarding the craft, the rest was a matter of refining the processes and getting used to the work.

These things could only be left to time.

Zhuang Qingning and Miao Hongjin agreed that she would check in on the workshop every half a month. If there were any emergencies, they would call her.

Zhuang Qingning had given her all to the workshop these past few days, even losing sleep. Miao Hongjin noticed this and asked her to rest for a few days. He would watch over things at the workshop.

When she was about to leave, Miao Hongjin insisted on giving her almost half of the freshly made glass noodles from the workshop.

Part of this was for the spicy soup stall she had in town, while the other part was a special gift for Zhuang Qingning herself.

“There aren’t many fine things in the village that we can offer Miss Zhuang. The only thing we are proud of right now is these sweet potato glass noodles. You can choose to cither taste it yourself or give it to someone else,” Miao Hongjin said with a smile. “This is also what everyone agreed on. You need not feel embarrassed. In fact, everyone felt that we should give you more, as you are very deserving of it. In the end, I convinced them otherwise because without a baseline comparison, we wouldn’t know if our current product is up to standard.”

Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

The folks in Miao Village were honest and kind-hearted, not the greedy type at least.

“Then I’ll accept your kindness. I’ll leave the workshop in your hands from now on,” Zhuang Qingning said after agreeing to Miao Hongjin’s offer.

Zhuang Qingning also gave some pointers about important things in the workshop, such as only using good quality sweet potatoes to make the starch, to ensure the best taste and texture.
