The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

Chapter 155 Recognition

Guo Xin held He Ningxin's hand tremblingly, his eyes wide open, wanting to say something, but he opened his mouth for a long time but didn't know what to say. Soon, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Her lips trembled slightly, "Xiaobao?"

He Ningxin nodded vigorously.

Guo Xin hugged He Ningxin in her arms and murmured, "I was wondering why I felt that although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have a sense of closeness these days. So this is it, this is it."

Since she came to this world, she kept dreaming about Xiaobao and the others. She always felt that it was very likely that they would meet in this world, but she could not see them in this world, so she thought about expanding and strengthening her business.

In this way, her family not only has a reserve of gold and silver, but can also let her parents and Xiaobao know that there is such a person in the world. However, for such a long time, no one has come to look for him, and she gradually lost hope in her heart. But just when she gave up, God gave her such a big surprise.

"Sister, I actually guessed you were my sister a long time ago. I recognized you when you were making the jelly pot, but we were always worried that it was just a coincidence, so we didn't dare to recognize you. Mom and Dad are the elders of the He family, so it's really inconvenient for them to come to your place, so they had to let me come to find you."

He Ningxin said a lot of words, paused, looked up at Guo Xin, and asked: "Sister, can you not go back to Suining City before we recognize each other."

Guo Xin had calmed down a lot. He held her hand and said, "I'm really sorry, Xiaobao. Now that I've come to this world, I have my own new responsibilities. I will naturally not forget you. But now I still have to go back to the village. Only the workshops in the village have the conditions to make instant noodles."

He Ningxin blurted out: "The General's Mansion can definitely build a workshop for you."

Guo Xin smiled and said, "Don't you know that cooking requires not only ingredients, but also a skilled cook."

He Ningxin didn't say anything, but just hugged Guo Xin tightly.

……

"Grandma, this is a new food I developed. I call it instant noodles. This instant noodle does not need to be cooked. It can be eaten after just soaking in boiling water. It contains meat and vegetables, and the soup is drinkable. If you encounter an emergency, the noodles can also be eaten dry."

Guo Xin handed over a bowl of freshly brewed instant noodles. The aroma filled the entire front hall, and the mother who was standing nearby to serve couldn't help swallowing.

Old Madam He ate slowly, scooped up some soup, and nodded with satisfaction.

Guo Xin took the opportunity to say, "But if we want to produce a lot of instant noodles, we can only go back to the village workshop to produce them. Therefore, I think I will leave for Guojia Village at noon today, and my eldest sister will accompany my younger brother and sister back to the academy."

Madam He looked at Guo Xin and sighed, "I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Since you've mentioned this to me now, you must have prepared all the items and are just waiting for my nod. How can I be a bad guy? What's more, what you have to do is extremely important."

Then he waved his hand and said a few words to the mother beside him, and the mother said to Guo Xin: "Miss Xin'er, please follow me."

……

With the lesson learned from the last time, the number of guards returning to the village was twice as many as before, and the carriage was also loaded with a lot of cloth and jewelry given by Madam He, and even a carriage full of books.

At the city gate, the four people and the He family were bidding farewell to each other. The sound of horse hooves was heard, but they stopped beside them. Guo Xin looked in the direction of the maroon horse hooves and saw Zhao He, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, on the horse's back.

Guo Xin asked with some doubt: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is here to see me off?"

Zhao He dismounted and stood opposite Guo Xin, saying, "If I had come just to see you off, I would not have shown up. I came here today because I want you to stay in the capital."

Guo Xin smiled and looked at Zhao He as if he was a child who was making trouble for no reason. "What are you doing? I need the permission of the Sixth Prince to go anywhere. But if you order me as the Sixth Prince, I can only obey."

Seeing that there were fewer people around, Zhao He said, "I know you're going back to Guojia Village for the instant noodles, but even if you take the fastest carriage back, you've wasted a lot of precious time. It's better for you to stay in the capital."

"In Guojia Village, I have all the ingredients and kitchen utensils I need, and I also have cooks who are experienced in baking and making sauces. Even if you spend a lot of money in Beijing, you can't help me with all the cooks. Do you know how long it takes to train a cook who is proficient in making these things? This is not something that can be bought with money."

Zhao He looked at Guo Xin who was refuting him with good reasons and evidence, and couldn't help but chuckle. Since he grew up, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous after knowing his identity. This Guo Xin was really interesting.

Then he said, "If I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I let you stay in the capital?"

Looking at Guo Xin, who was more than a head shorter than him, and then looking at the pedestrians who were gradually increasing in number, he took a step forward and whispered in Guo Xin's ear: "Do you still remember the workshop I got in exchange for all subsequent cooperation?"

Zhao He's aura made her feel a little at a loss. Guo Xin took a step back, and after the aura dissipated a little, she thought for a while and figured out what it meant. "You have a workshop and a cook in the capital?"

Zhao He chuckled, shook his head, and said, "You know that the land price in the capital is very high. Your workshop needs a lot of land and workers. Even if I have a lot of money, I can't afford to squander it like this, right?"

Guo Xin frowned and asked, "Then where is your workshop?"

"Suburbs of Beijing."

Although Guo Xin didn't know why there were no hot pot restaurants in the capital but there were workshops, he was too lazy to think about it. Money was the most important thing, so he asked: "So, Your Highness spent a lot of money on the workshop and the cook, are they free for me to use?"

"If I don't do it for free, will Madam Guo not stay here? It will be much faster to send it to the border directly after it is cooked here than to go back from Suining City and tell the cooks what to do."

Guo Xin naturally knew the pros and cons. After all, although Suining City was much closer to the border than the capital, and although Suining City was prosperous, it still took a lot of time on the road. It was obviously a bit troublesome to teach the cook who had some problems with comprehension.

Although Zhao He was a bit annoying, it had to be said that he had a good eye for selecting people. Most of the people he employed were smart and capable, and the same was true for the workshop.

"Of course not, but Your Highness's words clearly left room for me to bargain, so why shouldn't I take up the cause?" Guo Xin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
