Song Cheng, holding the list, stepped out of the side hall and ran into the Four Arts. He told them about Yuan Yuan’s plans to renovate the small kitchen.
When the five of them looked at the list, Shishu was the first to speak in a hushed tone, "Isn’t there a rumor that our Lady doesn’t even recognize big characters? But look at this writing. How many in the harem could match it?"
The others, having all come from Cining Palace, had seen less of the world over the years than even Yuan Yuan could boast of. If they could give such high praise, it proved that the handwriting was indeed good. In conclusion, Song Cheng instructed, "It seems rumors can’t be trusted, but let’s just keep this amongst ourselves and not mention it to others."
"Alright, we get it. You go take care of this. Although we don’t know what the Lady went through these past three days, looking at the situation, she seems to really want to lose weight now, which is a good thing for her,"
Yuan Yuan disliked being waited on, so she sent everyone away before she entered the space.
Since she had opened up the Red Land, the System randomly gifted her with three organic apple seeds and three organic radish seeds.
Although she had the right to plant seeds in the Red Land, she was still starting with six plots of land. If she wanted to open 24 plots, she needed to advance level by level.
But she could plant any normal seeds up to level 28, as the lowest level seeds for the Red Land were level 28, so these were the only ones she could plant.
Since the System had given them to her, it meant they were free, and she would have to start from scratch with these seeds.
Without any hesitation, she planted the apples and radishes.
The seeds needed time to mature, but her stomach was truly hungry. So, she casually took a hairpin, sold it to the space, and exchanged it for a starting capital of ten thousand yuan.
It had to be said, the items from ancient times are really valuable. Who would have thought that an inconspicuous hairpin could sell for ten thousand yuan? No wonder the items she sold before fetched her three million. Follow current novᴇls on novel·fire.net
With the money, she bought a bag of vacuum-packed beef, a can of oats, a bundle of lettuce, a knife, a cutting board, four bowls, four plates, an iron pot, a water boiler, a grill net, and so on. All the miscellaneous things added up to a bit over three hundred yuan.
She washed the lettuce, sliced the beef onto a plate, and made oatmeal by pouring boiling water over it without adding anything else.
After wrapping the beef slices in lettuce leaves and eating them, followed by the oatmeal, her lunch was settled. It amounted to about a pound of beef, which, though not comparable to her usual intake, was quite a lot for an average person.
Beef and chicken breast were always favorites among those trying to lose weight, and she had also tried dietary weight loss before, with quite significant results.
Since she was confined in this palace with no way out and no one to disturb her, she thought she might as well close the doors and enjoy her good days. That had to be better than living in the Cold Palace, right?
After eating, she went to check on the pond. The water had become clear and transparent again. Considering how easily she sweated, she took another dip in the pond for a cleanse. The water from the space was not ordinary; a long soak could make her skin smoother and more delicate and might even firm up her skin.
Right, yoga had the effect of firming up the skin. Although her body was a bit large, perseverance was key, wasn’t it?
Exiting the space, Yuan Yuan went out and ordered the Palace Attendants to clear all the flowers and plants from the yard.
Then she would find some agricultural tools and seeds to start growing vegetables.
It was spring now, and if she planted them at this time, they would be ready to eat by summer.
