Chapter 349: Chapter 336: Begging You

Therefore, Zhuang Qingning believed that she should be the one to go to Miao Village.

“That seems like a good idea. Once we’ve agreed on the timing, I’ll arrange for two government officials to escort Miss Zhuang each day and bring her back in the afternoon.” Ding Gaochang voiced from one side, “It’s more convenient this way.”

And safer too.

“Thank you, Master Ding, for your careful arrangements.” Miao Hongjin was unaware of the underlying reason and simply thought that Ding Gaochang was showing respect towards Zhuang Qingning and thinking for the sake of Miao Village, he thanked him repeatedly.

He began to think that Ding Gaochang was an excellent officer.

“Thank you for your help, Master Ding.” Zhuang Qingning also expressed her gratitude.

“There’s another matter I need to discuss with Miss Zhuang,” said Miao Hongjin, “Since I’m now preparing for it, I’ll also put together the tools needed for making sweet potato glass noodles. When Miss Zhuang is teaching this method, you’ll also need to use them.”

“If it’s convenient for Miss Zhuang, please sketch out what the tools look like and tell me how many we need to prepare, I can make arrangements.”

“There’s no need for a sketch, they just need to follow these models.” Zhuang Qingning took out the prepared items like the grater, sieve, and explained to Miao Hongjin the purpose of each tool, which materials were best, and how many needed to be prepared.

In the end, she marked the quantity of each tool on a piece of paper for Miao Hongjin to take back and replicate.

“These are the main things.” Said Zhuang Qingning, “Before making the noodles, the most important tasks are grinding the pulp and extracting the starch. You can try to dry out some powder in the next few days.”

“Yes, there were people who made sweet potato starch before, and sold it to the restaurant in the county town, but it’s not a common ingredient, it doesn’t sell well, thus there are few people making it, but many people still understand the process.”

Miao Hongjin nodded, “I’ll get everyone to make some powder when I get back”

The three discussed the initial preparations for the workshop for a while longer. As the sun began to set and the day grew late, Ding Gaochang and Miao Hongjin finally bid their goodbyes and left.

Before they left, Zhuang Qingning asked them to take some of the dry glass noodles she had made earlier.

She explained whether for cooking or to show to others, they were both suitable.

Ding Gaochang and Miao Hongjin received the glass noodles, expressing their gratitude before finally leaving.

Zhuang Qingning tidied up the courtyard and then started preparing dinner.

Ants climbing up the tree, moo shu pork, garlic eggplant, and a pot of sweet and sticky sweet potato porridge were made.

The two sisters had their dinner in the courtyard while there was still light in the evening.

The sweet potatos were soft, sweet and delicious, Zhuang Qingsui had to have a second serving of the porridge, even Snow Globe got a piece of sweet potato in his own food bowl and was eating happily.

While they were having their meal, the sound of soft footfalls could be heard from outside, gradually approaching and then entering the courtyard.

Zhuang Qingning looked up to see Zhuang Yuanzhong standing in the courtyard.

What was he doing here?

Zhuang Qingning frowned, but before she could say anything, Zhuang Qingsui became alarmed and lashed out, “Why are you here? Get out!”
