Xia Lian An's life now really made her happy, she no longer felt worried that there would be a Ning concubine's man or Ning's concubine's family to kill her.
Xia Lian An became free to go where she went, without thinking about the self-protection plan of concubine Ning, because currently concubine Ning was already in another realm along with her father.
"Sister, where are we going?" Asked Min'er who was walking beside Xia Lian An.
"We're going to the vegetable farmers, we need a lot of vegetables for our restaurant supplies that we'll open tomorrow."
"Isn't there in the market?"
"That's not enough, we'll go straight to the vegetable farmer. In addition to vegetables that we can still fresh, the price will be cheaper."
"I don't really understand, but it sounds really good."
"Hahaha of course, you'll understand later."
Xia Lian An and Min'er continued walking, until they finally arrived at a garden full of vegetables and there were some people who were picking the vegetables.
"Miss, what's the matter Miss here?" Said a man who seemed to be the owner of the vegetable garden.
"I'm going to open a new restaurant tomorrow, and I want to buy those vegetables to stock up on our restaurant."
"Please miss, I will give you a cheap price if you buy in large quantities."
"Lord be calm, we will buy a lot of vegetables. Because I made various menus with vegetable ingredients."
"Good, fine. Please see the vegetables I have. This is the best vegetable."
Xia Lian An nodded then looked at the vegetables that had just been picked from the garden.
"Everything is good and fresh." Xia Lian An.
"Of course, lady, this vegetable I grew is the best vegetable in town. You won't regret buying it."
"All right, I want those 3 vegetables. Each one give me 15 kilos."
"Well, miss, I will immediately prepare it for miss. I'll also give you extra vegetables, because miss bought a lot."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
The owner of the vegetable garden then went to prepare the vegetables that Xia Lian An bought.
Xia Lian An saw that there was a wagon not far from where he was, the train was used to carry vegetables that had been harvested to vegetable collectors in the market of Yu city and its surroundings.
"Min'er go to rent that little wagon, we can't take all those vegetables alone." Xia Lian An pointed to the wagon that was not far from them standing up.
"Good brother."
After Min'er left, Xia Lian An went back to look at the other vegetables.
"Hmm corn? I can add egg corn soup in the menu. It just so happens that this soup can add energy to people." Xia Lian An muttered.
"Sir, is this corn plucked?" Xia Lian An asked one of the farmers.
"Yes, lady, it can be. The corn is sweet."
"All right, thank you, sir."
Xia Lian An then walked towards the owner of the vegetable garden and said if she also wanted to buy the corn she had just asked.
After all the vegetables that Xia Lian An wanted were ready, the vegetables were placed into the cart that Min'er had rented.
"Sister, isn't this too much?" Min'er was surprised to see that the vegetables her brother had bought were quite a lot.
"No, we're going to do the restaurant opening. So we need a lot of food."
"Oh, okay."
"After this, we'll go to the fish-selling place near the fisherman's pier."
"Yes, we need fish too. But the fish we're going to buy are the fish that's still alive."
Min'er looked at her brother confusedly, she did not understand all the plans that her brother had arranged.
The small train was heading towards the dock where the fishermen were.
About 20 minutes, they arrived in front of a place where fishermen usually sell their catch.
"Sorry sir, are you selling any live fish? I want to buy it."Xia Lian An said to one of the fishermen.
"Miss, if you want to buy a living fish. You can go to the fish shop that is there, all the fish that the store sells is still alive."
"Thank you sir."
Xia Lian An looked at the shop that the fisherman pointed at. He went to the fish shop he saw.
Sure enough, all the fish the shop was selling were alive, and that made Xia Lian An very happy.
"Miss, do you want to buy fish?" Ask the shop owner.
"True sir, I want to buy this fish, and two fish that are there. Please give me 10 each."
"Well, ladies, I'll get ready soon."
Xia Lian An knew it was a tiring job, but she wanted all the food ingredients she bought to be the best ingredients, for the visitors in her restaurant to be satisfied and happy.
After buying fish and vegetables, Xia Lian An who accompanied Min'er returned to their store.
This time Xia Lian An did not feel dizzy riding on the carriage because the carriage she was riding on was a wagon where the carriage was open without any cover on it like a horse carriage in general.
"Xiao Wei, Xiao Fen. Quickly help me bring all these vegetables." Xia Lian An said after they arrived in front of the restaurant.
Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen rushed out and saw so many vegetables and fish that the lady had bought.
"Take everything into the kitchen, and put these fish into the little pond that's in the back."
"Well miss."
Xiao Wei, Xiao Fen and several other workers brought all the vegetables and fish into the kitchen.
"Choor and fish already, after this you need some spices, oil, meat, and others that have not been bought." Xia Lian An.
One day that Xia Lian An was very busy preparing everything, because tomorrow she would officially open the restaurant that she had.
While the inn will be opened the next day after the restaurant was officially opened.

At the Yue Ji palace, empress Rui had heard news regarding Xia Lian An opening her new inn and restaurant.
Empress Rui was very happy, eventually Xia Lian An could really live happily, and live according to her wishes.
"This is very exciting news. Help me prepare a gift for Empress Yan." Said empress Rui to her loyal servant.
"Okay, your honor."
The servant then went to do as Empress Rui ordered.
"Empress Yan, you can finally do what you've always wanted. I'm sure you'll always be happy."
Empress Rui rubbed her stomach a few times which already looked slightly enlarged.
"If this child were a woman, would his majesty still treat me well in the palace?" Empress Rui murmured at what would happen when the child inside her stomach was born.
Empress Rui did not yet know whether the child she was carrying was a boy or a girl, as she always refused if the healer would check the gender of the baby. She wanted to, see how Emperor Shun's attitude towards her after knowing the gender of her child after she was born later.
