Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

Last night, the master gave instructions not to let Song Wenqian in.

After a moment's thought, Old Chen stepped forward and unloaded the firewood from Song Wenqian's back.

Song Wenqian felt a sudden lightness in his body, swayed unsteadily, and fell directly to the ground.

"Quick, help me inside to rest."

"This trip has really exhausted me."

He sat on the ground, completely exhausted, like a dead dog.

He was really exhausted this time. After he rested, he was determined to show off his achievements to Shen Qing and her daughter and try to get some money to spend.

Old Chen carried the firewood on his back and then grabbed Song Wenqian's hand.

Song Wenqian thought Old Chen was going to help him back to the house to rest, but the next moment, he sensed that something was wrong.

Why did Old Chen pull him to the side of the road?

Before I knew it, Old Chen had already entered the house.

Snapped--

The gates were slammed shut, showing no mercy.

Song Wenqian was completely dumbfounded, as if a bolt of lightning had struck him directly on the head.

"What do you mean? Why won't you let me in?"

"Were you playing a trick on me all night?? That's too much! How could you do this? Shen Qing, you're shameless! You actually tricked me into chopping wood?"

"I could have sold that firewood for a good amount of money, and you didn't even give me a single penny! That's outrageous! Outrageous!!"

Song Wenqian started shouting and cursing at the door.

But he was too tired. After cursing for a while, he ran out of energy, and his voice grew softer and softer. In the end, he could only leave in a sorry state.

Shen Qingcai had just regained consciousness.

Song Wenqian's shouts and curses did not affect her at all; the house was too big, and she did not hear any noise.

She nodded slightly when Old Chen came to report this.

A person like Song Wenqian is not worth her energy.

She quickly put it out of her mind and began to think about the mint tea she would make that day.

There are two ways to make peppermint herbal tea. The first is the cold brew method, which involves making the herbal tea and then sinking it to the bottom of a well to get an ice-cold herbal tea.

This method is perfect for summer.

However, it is springtime now, and the weather is warm but far from hot, so she plans to use the hot rinse and cold cool method this time.

That is, the tea is brewed with hot water and then allowed to cool naturally. In this way, the resulting herbal tea is cool but not icy, which is perfect for the current weather.

When the ingredients arrived, she quickly prepared the braised pork ribs and let them simmer before starting to make the mint tea.

She first boiled a pot of water, then put mint, honeysuckle, licorice, and other herbs into the earthenware pot. She poured the boiling water high into the pot and then immediately put the lid on.

After steeping for 15 minutes, she lifted the lid and waited for the herbal tea to cool down naturally.

"Sister Shen!!"

Zhao Wan ran over again, just like before.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "I made some mint herbal tea today. I'll let you try it later."

"However, I can't give you the braised pork ribs today. If you want some, you'll have to come with me to the academy gate."

She has already completed 1200 servings of braised pork ribs; she only needs 800 more to finish the task.

Today's maximum purchase limit for ingredients is exactly 800 servings.

If she had sold it to Zhao Wan at home, she wouldn't have been able to complete the task of making braised pork ribs today.

Although Zhao Wan found it strange, she was no longer surprised.

After all, Sister Shen has always been quite unique, and it's easy for others to accept that talented people are unique.

"Perfect, I can go out and about with Sister Shen, instead of staying cooped up at home all the time."

"The name 'Minty Iced Tea' sounds delicious; looks like I'm in for a treat!"

Zhao Wan smiled happily; she was willing to do anything as long as she could eat delicious food with Sister Shen.

"By the way, if you have time, talk to my mother more often, and tell her about your entanglement with Song Wenqian, but don't reveal Song Wenqian's name yet."

Thinking of her mother's matter, Shen Qing brought it up again.

Zhao Wan was smart and immediately realized that it was that scumbag who had come to cause trouble again.

"Sister Shen, don't worry, leave it to me!"

She must have portrayed Song Wenqian as the worst possible person.

When everything was almost ready, Shen Qing pushed the stroller out the door, while Zhao Wan hopped and skipped after her, looking as cute as a little rabbit.

When we arrived at the entrance of the academy, there were already quite a few diners waiting.

"Today we still offer three flavors of braised pork ribs, along with a refreshing mint tea."

Peppermint herbal tea?

The diners looked on with wide curiosity, craning their necks to see.

The tea in the earthenware pot was a light amber color, swaying gently, giving one a faint sense of coolness.

"This name sounds good, I'll take one!"

"I want one to try too!"

These diners are now mostly regulars of Shen Qing, and they have a blind trust in him.

The medicinal-flavored braised pork ribs from yesterday further solidified this trust, so everyone was vying to drink the mint herbal tea.

Zhao Wan looked at it and realized that this would not work. There was only one can of herbal tea. How could it be enough for so many people?

She quickly suggested, "Sister Shen, there's not much herbal tea left, it'll probably sell out soon. In my opinion, why not sell it alongside braised pork ribs, and only allow one serving of mint herbal tea per person?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing's eyes lit up.

Yes, how could she not have thought of that?

"You can only buy mint tea if you buy two braised pork bones. A bowl of mint tea costs ten coins."

Since the quantity of herbal tea was limited, she naturally had to serve the customers who bought more first.

Upon hearing this, the diners went even crazier.

"I'd like one spicy one, one savory one, and a mint herbal tea!"

"I'd like two spicy ones and a serving of mint herbal tea."

"I want one too!!"

Shen Qing immediately became busy. Seeing this, Zhao Wan lost her appetite and quickly helped Shen Qing by picking out the bones.

Shen Qing deftly scooped up the herbal tea and poured it into a bowl. Through the tea, the patterns on the bottom of the bowl could be clearly seen.

She then cut a slice of lemon, placing the thin lemon slice on the rim of the bowl. A few mint leaves at the bottom of the bowl were a bright green, and the yellow and green complemented each other, making it look extremely beautiful.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhao Wan couldn't help but exclaim.

The diner took the bowl, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "This tea looks delicious. I haven't even tasted it yet, but my mouth is already watering."

"You can eat the braised pork ribs first, then drink the herbal tea; the two are a perfect match," Shen Qing kindly suggested.

This mint herbal tea is especially suitable for spicy and savory braised pork ribs, as it can relieve the spiciness and greasiness, leaving a refreshing and pleasant taste.

Just as he finished speaking, a flurry of footsteps suddenly rang out.

Turning around, they saw that the academy gates were open, and students rushed out one by one, with Master Zheng at the very back.

"Braised pork ribs, here I come!!"

"Madam Shen, I want spicy food today."

"I want to really try the medicinal cuisine flavor!"
