The third Sister-in-law discussed with Li Xinyue and gave the silver to the Eighth Old Zhou.
Based on Qin Yichen's intention, she planned to squeeze everyone into the ten-person room so that they could take care of each other.
In case of any danger, she and Qin Yichen would also be able to protect them in time.
Who knew? The third Sister-in-law snatched it first.
Since the old lady Qin and Third Sister-in-law had arranged it well, and Qin Yichen did not object, she did not intend to meddle too much either.
It was just a room with Qin Yichen; it was no big deal; at worst, she could sleep on the floor.
Peng Wang took the silver handed over by Third Sister-in-law and looked at the other families.
"Does anyone else want to book a room?"
Of course, they wanted to book a room. Who would be willing to live in the shed outside? It was no different from being outdoors.
Unfortunately, their pockets were cleaner than their faces, and they needed help to take out the silver to pay the room fee.
Li Xinyue took the opportunity to come to her Second Sister-in-law's side and secretly stuffed her with a or two silver.
"Second Sister-in-law, please help the Xie family book a room!"
Second Sister-in-law held the one or two silver, which usually looked inconspicuous but now felt as heavy as a thousand catties.
"I thanked Ninth Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law on behalf of my parents."
She was not polite with Li Xinyue at this time because the Xie family urgently needed this.
Although the Xie family had more than a dozen people, squeezing together was better than living outside.
It was not that Li Xinyue was petty.
After all, the relationship between the Xie family and the Qin family had not been entirely resolved, and she also felt that there was no need to support other families.
If the Xie family could truly reconcile with the Qin family in the future, she would teach them some skills to earn money and ensure their future days would be better.
The Fang family was so envious of the Xie family for having a ten-person room.
They all knew that the Xie family had a daughter who was the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, and the room was opened with the Qin family's money to help.
Unfortunately, their Fang family was still at odds with the Qin family, and they couldn't even open their mouths to borrow some silver.
Li Xinyue's observation skills were solid, and she instantly saw the tangled expressions on the faces of the Fang family members.
Thinking of the ring Mrs. Zhao exchanged for fish today, it was worth at least a few hundred taels.
She didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune, so after thinking about it for a while, she secretly stuffed Mrs. Zhao with a broken piece of silver.
The Qin, Xie, and Fang families had rooms to stay in.
Only the Li family and the Lin family were left.
The two families now hated the Qin family and the Xie and Fang families.
The Eighth Old Zhou worked quickly, took the silver from several families, opened the rooms, and the sisters-in-law carried Qin Yichen in.
These officials were good at fleecing.
The five-tael-a-room guest room looked gloomy and damp.
If it was rented out usually, it was estimated that one hundred and eighty wen would be enough to stay overnight, and that was without encountering picky guests. Otherwise, people would complain.
However, Li Xinyue understood how to adapt measures to different times and conditions. Although the room conditions were unsatisfactory, having it was better than nothing.
She helped Qin Yichen tidy up the bed and let him lie down to rest before turning to leave.
Although everyone had roasted fish for lunch, they were hungry after rushing on the road all afternoon.
Finally, there was an inn to rest, so she had to take advantage of the convenience there.
The ten-person room for Old Lady Qin and other women was even more bleak.
Not to mention the musty smell in the room, there was only a long Kang, on which pillows were shiny from dirt and a few cotton quilts whose original colours were indistinguishable.
Old Lady Qin was also capable of adapting. Seeing that her daughter-in-law and daughter were frowning, she couldn't help but remind them.
"Think about spending last night outdoors in the wild, staying here. We should all be content."
"Mother, we all know we won't complain."
When Li Xinyue entered the ten-person room, she first saw Old Lady Qin preaching.
Although she intended to arrange dinner for everyone, she felt it necessary to communicate with the elders and needed the help of the sisters-in-law.
"Mother, I plan to discuss with the innkeeper to borrow the kitchen here and cook dinner for everyone."
Hearing about cooking dinner, the sisters-in-law's eyes lit up immediately.
The Eldest Sister-in-law was best at cooking and immediately volunteered.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, I can help out in the kitchen."
The Fifth Sister-In-Law also said, "I can do it too."
Other sisters-in-law needed to improve at cooking but were still scrambling to help.
Seeing such a harmonious big family, Li Xinyue was already beginning to appreciate her luck.
Although she inexplicably crossed over to another world and faced countless days and nights of arduous exile, one of her significant gains was the ability to gain so many loving family members.
"Sisters-in-law, this is just an idea of mine. I still have to discuss it with the boss to see if it can be done.
Besides, our situation is particular; we can't eat extravagantly, and two people to help are enough."
After hearing Li Xinyue's words, everyone's eyes fell on the Eldest Sister-in-law and the Fifth Sister-In-Law.
Because these two were good at cooking, they would keep everything in order.
Li Xinyue accomplished her goal and then discussed it with the innkeeper.
Of course, she still had to communicate with the officials before the discussion.
Li Xinyue went straight to Peng Wang.
Peng Wang had eaten the fish roasted by Li Xinyue and guessed that her cooking must be good.
Moreover, when the Qin family made a meal, they brought it to the officials.
Therefore, Peng Wang agreed without hesitation. As for how to communicate with the boss, it was none of his concern.
With Peng Wang's permission, Li Xinyue went to find the innkeeper.
Money makes things easy. Although they were all exiled convicts, the boss could not refuse the temptation of silver either.
After accepting Li Xinyue's three taels of bribery, the boss claimed she could use anything in the kitchen.
With things settled, Li Xinyue did not immediately call the two sisters-in-law to help but went to the kitchen alone first.
After surveying the kitchen, she confirmed that there was some white rice, white flour, and common vegetables like scallions, cabbage, radish, etc.
Li Xinyue saw that the seasonings in the kitchen were only lard and salt. She immediately took out some thirteen-spice and star anise from her space.
Based on the original owner's memory, she also took out some vegetables that existed in this era.
Cucumbers, eggs, green beans and a piece of pork belly.
Many people were eating, and the amount of food in her space refrigerator was small. She took them repeatedly after those foods regenerated.
In addition, she poured some vegetable oil from her space into bowls in the kitchen and the appropriate amount of white sugar.
Even if Li Xinyue wanted to eat broccoli, green beans, and tomatoes in her refrigerator, she did not take them out.
After all, she had yet to figure out how to explain the origin of these foods.
After getting everything ready, she went to call the sisters-in-law to help.
When the two sisters-in-law came over and saw the ingredients, their eyes were full of joy.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, this inn is perfect; it has prepared many vegetables."
"Yeah, there's meat, too!"
The sisters-in-law said while briskly picking and chopping vegetables.
