The two little ones returned from Si Si and kept drooling at the dishes on the table.
Since they were old enough to understand, there has been a drought in Qiushui City. It can be said that this was the first time they had seen so many dishes placed together.
“Wow… Mujin must be dreaming, right? How can there be so many delicious foods?” Xiao Mujin couldn’t help but sigh.
Xiao Qing pinched Xiao Mujin: “Brother, do you feel pain?”
Xiao Mujin nodded: “Yeah, it hurts.”
“Then you can’t be dreaming.” While Xiao Qing was talking, she clapped her hands vigorously to express her joy.
Qi Mohan was no better than the two children. It had been more than two years, and apart from the three words “starving to death”, he no longer dared to expect any delicious food.
Now, thanks to Miss Si Si, he had the opportunity to taste delicious food again, and he no longer had to eat for hunger.
Imperial Concubine Yun was also very excited about this moment. She didn’t care about the rules and directly picked up the chopsticks to invite her son and grandson to start eating.
The two children got the instruction from their grandmother and started to eat voraciously after picking up the rice bowls.
It was so delicious that they felt like they were dreaming.
Qi Mohan was not much better. For the first time, he felt like he had to think about everything and have a good meal.
The two little mouths were full, but they couldn’t help but praise their grandmother’s cooking skills.
Qi Mohan was not as serious as before this time. When the two little ones praised him, he would occasionally agree.
Imperial Concubine Yun looked at the children eating like a storm and felt inexplicably relieved.
She was born into a low family and married into the royal family. She never thought that she would be hungry.
She knew from experience that this kind of feeling was really beyond the endurance of ordinary people.
“Thank you, Miss Si Si, you provided us with food and water, which was like timely help. The ingredients on the table must have been carefully arranged by Miss Si Si.”
Qi Mohan also agreed with his mother this time: “The appearance of Miss Si not only saved the whole prince’s mansion but also saved so many people in Qiushui City.”
Imperial Concubine Yun nodded: “In my opinion, this girl is the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva, and her merits are great!”
The mother and son praised Si Si in unison. After a meal, there was almost no food left on the table.
As for the servants and guards in the palace, after all, in that era of distinction between high and low, Imperial Concubine Yun won’t personally prepare food for them in the kitchen.
But they wouldn’t be treated harshly because of this. When Imperial Concubine Yun was cooking, Qi Mohan had already arranged for someone to send some of the ingredients to the kitchen of the mansion. There was a special chef there, so it was not difficult to arrange meals for everyone.
The two little ones ate and drank their fill, and lazily patted their bulging bellies.
After they said goodbye to their grandmother and uncle, they went to Si Si’s place.
At this time, Si Si had also finished her meal and washed the bowls and plates that Imperial Concubine Yun had given her.
As soon as the two little ones appeared, they saw Si Si taking pictures of the bowls and plates with her mobile phone.
Xiao Mujin asked in confusion: “Sister, we have a lot of this kind of thing, why don’t you take some pictures here and show them to Uncle?”
Si Si already had a plan when she was taking pictures. She would send the pictures to Tang Xu first and ask him to help her appraise them. If they were more valuable than the silver jewelry, she would communicate with Qi Mohan and keep these items.
After all, there were too many vases and ornaments, and she knew now how to sell them.
A large number might affect the price, and people would suspect that she was a tomb robber.
Otherwise, even if she used the reason that her parents like to collect antiques, they couldn’t collect so many……
Therefore, she planned to sell a variety of antiques, which would also reduce other people’s suspicion.
“Sister only thinks these bowls and plates are special, so I took a few photos and kept them!”
Tang Xu hasn’t replied yet, so Si Si doesn’t want to explain too much to the two children for the time being.
The two little ones didn’t pay much attention to Si Si’s actions. They stood aside and danced and talked about how delicious the dishes made by their grandmother were.
Si Si smiled and touched their heads: “Sister has a lot of these ingredients here, you can take them back at any time.”
“Sister, is this true?” Xiao Qing’s eyes were full of disbelief.
“Of course it’s true.” Si Si answered, and then took the two little ones to wash up.
The two little ones stayed with her until more than nine in the evening. Si Si knew that the elders at home would be worried if they went back late, so she didn’t keep them too much.
Si Si picked up the mobile phone that had just been fully charged on the table and put it in Xiao Qing’s hand, asking her to bring it to Qi Mohan.
This time, she didn’t say anything to Qi Mohan, but she couldn’t guarantee that he had nothing to tell her. She took the phone back so that she could record directly if something happened. This was more convenient.
Si Si wanted to send photos to Tang Xu tonight, but because of the arrival of the two little ones, she was delayed for some time. To not affect Tang Xu’s rest, she gave up the idea.
She decided to take a few items to the antique market again tomorrow morning.
She was exhausted today. She fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
When she woke up, it was already dawn. Just after washing and changing clothes, the phone on the bedside rang.
Tang Xu: [Si Si, good morning!]
Si Si: [Good morning, senior.]
Tang Xu: [Si Si, do you have any plans today?]
Si Si: [Senior, I need your help today.]
Tang Xu: [Okay, I’ll pick you up now.]
Half an hour later, Si Si got into Tang Xu’s car with a huge cardboard box, and the two of them came to Uncle Tang’s shop again at the antique market.
Yesterday, Uncle Tang learned about Si Si’s identity from Tang Xu. While sympathizing with the latter’s experience, Uncle Tang guessed that the antiques in Si Si’s hands must be the collection of the president of the company.
Now that the Si Family was facing such an economic crisis, it was reasonable for Si Si to sell such a precious treasure.
But even so, after he showed the silver jewelry he bought from Si Si yesterday to his colleagues, someone was willing to pay three times the price to buy it from him.
This shows that the antique industry in Daqi Kingdom can be said to be a steady profit.
When he saw Si Si again, Uncle Tang’s attitude was many times more enthusiastic than yesterday.
“Miss Si, do you have good things to sell today?”
Since the other party was enthusiastic, Si Si had no reason to be pretentious. She put the carton directly on Uncle Tang’s desk.
“Uncle Tang, I brought a few items here today. Please help me identify them.”
Si Si didn’t say she was selling them this time. After all, this was only her second time cooperating with Uncle Tang. Even with Tang Xu as the middleman, she had to make sure that the person she was cooperating with was trustworthy.
Uncle Tang didn’t pay attention to Si Si’s words and directly opened the lid of the carton to look inside.
Si Si brought four items today, a pure white vase, a vase with clear patterns, a calligraphy, and a bowl she used yesterday.

I really hope Si Si decides to sell her items in an auction because she’ll get much more money from that than from selling them to Uncle Tang. I know he’s a businessman, but I really hope he doesn’t try to cheat her of potential profits for his own sake, especially since he’s aware of her situation.
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
