Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Xu Qinghe thought to herself, "I have many uses for these things. I can use them to grow crops, press peanut oil, make all sorts of delicious food, and even cook soup, but I don't want to tell you."

So he simply replied, "Eat!"

The boss looked clearly dissatisfied with this answer, saying, "How much can you eat?"

Xu Qinghe: "Our family is large, and we can eat a lot."

The boss...

Just as the boss was about to complain about her a few more times, Shen Zhi suddenly spoke up, "We're here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shop owner next to him shuddered in fright. He had been so busy being indignant about his peanuts that he had completely forgotten that there was a menacing figure standing next to him.

Unlike Xu Qinghe's kindness and easy-going nature, Shen Zhi's figure, eyes, and the scars on his face clearly indicated that he was not someone to be trifled with.

The boss meekly responded to Shen Zhi, "Yes!" and then jumped off the carriage, obediently helping him carry the peanuts into the yard.

After carrying them inside, they didn't dare linger. They said goodbye and ran away without looking back.

Seeing the boss flee in disarray, Xu Qinghe first mocked him mercilessly, then turned to Shen Zhi and complained, "If I had known you were this capable, I wouldn't have bothered arguing with him."

Shen Zhi: "I see you're having a great time chatting with him."

Xu Qinghe chuckled to herself, "You figured it out?"

Shen Zhi: "Mm."

It's true that their non-threatening appearance makes them easy targets for bullying, but their ability to gather information is also an advantage.

In the back and forth between her and the boss, she had already figured out where the boss got the peanuts from.

"The Foreign Exchange is a great place! I just wonder when I'll be able to visit it."

Shen Zhi paused slightly, then calmly said, "Let's save up some more money."

Since it's a foreign exchange exchange, it must be related to a country. Their small place can only trade with a few neighboring small countries.

Xu Qinghe knew that going there wouldn't be easy, so she didn't think much of it and simply replied "okay," and that was the end of it.

Just then, Shen Zhi suddenly pointed to the peanuts on the ground and asked, "Why did you buy so many? Do you really want to eat them?"

Seeing his puzzled look, Xu Qinghe smiled and said, "Yes! You really want to eat it."

Shen Zhi frowned. "How are we supposed to eat this? Boil it or steam it?"

Seeing that he genuinely didn't know, Xu Qinghe decided not to tease him any further and said directly, "You can boil it or steam it, it's fine either way."

"Not only that, these peanuts can also be used to make oil."

"Extracting oil?"

"Is it tasty?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately replied with a serious expression, "It's very, very delicious."

As someone who grew up eating peanut oil, I really love dishes cooked with peanut oil.

It's not that other oils don't smell good, it's just a habit.

Shen Zhi: "Then we can give it a try."

"I definitely have to try! It's just a pity that it's not the right time to plant peanuts now. I'll have to keep these for seed. I wish I had more."

"But that doesn't stop me from making you delicious food."

Shen Zhi was slightly surprised after hearing this. "You're going to plant this?"

Xu Qinghe: "Of course."

"I'm not only going to plant, but I'm going to plant in bulk. Yesterday, Dad took me to see the land we were allocated."

"I think lower-grade land would be perfect, but only two mu is a bit too little. It would be best if we could buy some more."

Seeing Xu Qinghe's longing expression, Shen Zhi took the initiative to speak, "After I'm done with this busy period, I'll go to the village office and ask if they have any land for sale."

Xu Qinghe knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so she readily agreed, "Okay," and began to laboriously drag the sacks of peanuts into the house.

The reason she didn't let them move in directly was because there were too many things in the house, and Xu Qinghe didn't trust the boss, so she didn't let them move anything in.

After all, Shen Zhi wasn't home during the day, and it was just the three of them at home; they had to be careful.

Seeing her struggling, Shen Zhi frowned slightly, thinking that her arm strength training was still insufficient.

After thinking it over, he quickly walked over and, before Xu Qinghe could react, grabbed her and carried her into the house with light steps.

Looking at Shen Zhi's strong back, Xu Qinghe suddenly thought that when looking for a man, you should find one who is strong, at least able to work.

Just as Xu Qinghe was congratulating herself on her good judgment of people, Shen Zhi had already made several trips back and forth carrying bags.

Soon the peanuts in the yard were moved into the house. Seeing that things were almost packed up, Shen Zhi didn't stay any longer. He said a few words to Xu Qinghe and went to the sanatorium, leaving Xu Qinghe alone at home to take care of the two children.

Because they left early and returned quickly, both children were still asleep.

Xu Qinghe didn't call them. She tiptoed out of the main room with pots and pans and went to the kitchen.

Well, because the yard is dilapidated, you have to be careful about everything you do.

Not only did the food have to be put in the sleeping room, but even the pots, pans, and dishes had to be moved into the room after use.

Otherwise, if you fall asleep at night, one or two thieves could sneak in and rob the house clean.

She even understands her grandmother's behavior back then now. She used to think that the elderly were just stingy, but she never thought that it was a product of the environment.

After putting the pots and pans in their proper places, Xu Qinghe began to move the grain outside.

The leftover meat scraps from last time had been sitting for several days, but Xu Qinghe had been too busy with banquets to deal with them. So she decided to get rid of them today, otherwise they would spoil if left out any longer.

Before making the buns, Xu Qinghe took a sniff to make sure there was no smell before starting to prepare the filling and wrap the buns.

Since her family's diet consists mainly of wild vegetables and green beans, Xu Qinghe decided to make a big steamed bun using green beans.

Before making the steamed buns, Xu Qinghe first used a starter to ferment the dough and placed it next to the kettle.

Although it's summer now, it's always a bit cool in the mornings because it's nestled against the mountains. Placing it next to the kettle will speed up the fermentation process when the water boils.

After preparing the dough, Xu Qinghe started frying the filling. Since the pork was already cooked, and the green beans would taste different after steaming if they were raw, Xu Qinghe simply made a cooked filling.

After stir-frying the filling and letting it cool, the dough had risen enough. Xu Qinghe tasted it and, finding it to be okay, began wrapping the large steamed buns.

While wrapping the oil, I recalled the scene of my family pressing oil when I was a child, and what we needed.

After all, oil pressing is a long-term process, and she wanted to get it done in one go, rather than ending up with something missing halfway through.

Just as Xu Qinghe was thinking, the two children woke up and ran over happily as soon as they saw her.

"Auntie~"

Xu Qinghe's face tightened as soon as she saw Shen Chengyue, and she reminded him, "You haven't practiced your horse stance yet."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue felt utterly hopeless. "Father's not home, is it really necessary to not get it done?"

Xu Qinghe shook her head. "No."

This was a direct order from Shen Zhi, and she dared not disobey it.
