After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 222 The Priceless Marine Treasure

Even so, the old man dared not go out and wander around, for fear that he would be caught by the people his father sent.

If it were anyone else, she definitely wouldn't believe that the other person had such great ability to protect someone so thoroughly.

Given this, the only explanation is that the woman who lied about being her has been murdered or imprisoned.

Regardless of the possibility, she had to treat it with caution.

She can't live a peaceful day without the person behind the scenes coming forward.

Since they were able to fabricate evidence of her past life's recognition of her relatives, it means that someone else, like her, has been reborn.

She couldn't guess who it was, but it was probably Murong Luo, Shen Yuanxiang, and a few servants who knew the truth.

With the enemy in the shadows and her in the open, she could only proceed cautiously, daring not to make a single misstep.

While Xue Ruanruan was lost in thought, the servants had already begun to get busy.

The abundance of vegetables, fruits, beef, mutton, pork, and venison was something they had never seen before, especially in winter.

The young lady is truly capable; where did she get so many rare items in such cold weather? And those diverse kinds of seafood are something I've never seen before.

The servants, who were used to living frugally, had never seen their master so extravagant. They were both excited and reluctant to part with it, wondering how much money it would cost.

But this is not something they, as servants, can control.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone quickly washed all the vegetables and fruits needed for the day.

But when it was Hai Cuo's turn, they were all dumbfounded.

The cooks and cooks in the General Zhenguo's mansion were all born into the family and their daily work consisted mainly of beef, mutton, and fish and shrimp caught from the river.

Where have I ever seen such rare marine creatures? I don't even know the names of those strange-looking things, let alone how to deal with them.

"Young Miss, what should we do with these seafood?"

The cook, somewhat at a loss, turned to Xue Ruanruan for help.

“I will teach you.”

Xue Ruanruan then remembered that over the years, the manor had spent all its money on purchasing food and other supplies to prepare provisions and medicines for the soldiers stationed on the frontier.

They are extremely frugal in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. They often eat ordinary beef, mutton, and pork, but they are reluctant to buy expensive seafood.

The household expenses have been reduced again and again. Even the padded jacket that Grandmother wears was made the year before last, and the padded jacket that Li'er wears was worn by her older brothers when they were young.

No wonder even the cooks in the manor didn't know how to prepare the seafood.

If it weren't for the space, she probably wouldn't have been willing to buy seafood to eat.

Despite its high price, limited variety, and extremely limited quantity, this item is considered a very rare find in the capital.

Whenever seafood was available for sale in the capital, it would be snapped up by high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, with demand exceeding supply.

Especially in winter, the variety of food available is extremely limited; all that's available all day is beef and mutton, and radishes and cabbage.

For those discerning and picky officials and wealthy merchants, indulging in such things occasionally is acceptable, but if they had to eat these things every day, they would find it unbearable.

This is why marine delicacies can fetch astronomical prices in the capital.

It even reached the point of spending lavishly.

Xue Ruanruan's eyes suddenly lit up; it seemed that selling seafood in the capital was a very good way to make money.

Did she underestimate the value of the marine life and provide too little quantity when the delivery was made last night?

No, next time we must provide more seafood. This stuff is more profitable than tea this season.

Xue Ruanruan knew that some money wasn't something anyone could earn just by wanting to; this kind of money was truly only something Murong Xun could earn.
