Chapter 12
Shopkeeper Lu felt good after hearing this. It was something she would beg for.
If both her daughters could learn double-sided embroidery from Madam Qiao, the matchmakers that came to propose marriage would have to re-weigh their importance. After marrying, their in-laws could not be negligent either.
“Sister, why are you so likable? My two girls love to sew and mend. My embroidery skills are below average, so I can’t teach them anything. There’s no good embroidery lady around either.”
“It’s rare for you to have such a heart. I thank you on behalf of the children. This is a pie that fell from the sky! How can I dislike it? Oh, I owe you a big favor.”
“What are you talking about, sister? Without you, I wouldn’t even survive, let alone have the life I have now.”
“Hehe, I realized our personalities are really similar. Is this fate?”
Shopkeeper Lu and Qiao Mai chatted for a while before leaving. Qiao Mai closed the door and went to the kitchen. She looked at the oil and salt and was worried.
She really didn’t know how to cook. She was already sick of porridge, eggs, and brown sugar water and wanted to change her taste.
She used her mind to look at the space. The little fellow was chewing on her hand.
Forget it. She won’t cook anymore. She’ll eat something ready-to-eat.
After locking the door, she brought the embroidery into her space. She took care of Ling’er before looking for food on the shelf.
She realized something big once she started searching.
Qiao Mai stared at the bread for a long time. She remembered she had eaten three in one go. That place should have been empty. Why was there still more?
Also, why were the snacks she ate all still there?
Wait, there was still the white wine. She quickly returned to the room and looked at the wine bottle on the table. The half-drunk wine was full.
Oh my god, did she discover a new function in her space?
As long as it was something in her space, it could be copied after consumption!
Qiao Mai couldn’t believe it, so she took a bag of bread from the shelf and ate it quickly. She threw the packet on the ground, and it disappeared in a moment. She didn’t look at it but stared at the place where she had taken the bread.
About fifteen minutes later, a bag of bread that looked the same appeared.
The woman laughed wildly and danced, wishing she could jump into the sky.
“Space, I love you to death. This is too f*cking heaven-defying. Purification, replication… What other functions do you have? Hurry up and show up. Make my jaw drop! Haha, that’s great. I can win in ancient times. Hahaha!”
Qiao Mai stopped embroidery and began to experiment with one thing after another.
After that, she concluded that any consumable item could be replicated. For example, if she ate or used anything, it could be replicated into an identical item.
She also tested the bullets in her silent pistol. Bullets should be considered consumables, right?
However, the bullet shot out was not consumable because it was not damaged or lost its original appearance when fired. Therefore, the space would not replicate it.
Only when something was truly gone or damaged and unusable would the space replace it.
Presumably, this function only appeared after transmigrating here. It didn’t exist before. Did this mean that the space had mutated?
Qiao Mai then thought of the red ginseng water in the thermos flask and immediately returned to her room to open the cap.
The ginseng roots were still inside. The red ginseng water was filled up and hot.
After such a long time, the ginseng water was still hot? Even a thermos had to have a time limit.
She knew it. Why didn’t she suspect anything every time she poured water?
Qiao Mai seemed to have discovered another function of the space, which was heat preservation. No, there was something else. She had been here for almost a month, but the temperature in the refrigerator was still the same. There was also the freezer. In other words, it also had preservation functions.
Qiao Mai bit her lips and thought, “Before I came here, I had a power generation system in my space.”
In her previous life, she would connect the cable in the space to an external socket whenever she was free. At that time, the refrigerator, freezer, and computer all used this system. She could do whatever she wanted in the space.
But now? There was no electricity in ancient times, so why was the refrigerator still functioning normally?
Could the space also replenish the consumption of electricity?
If that were the case, it would be too terrifying. This space was truly heaven-defying.
Qiao Mai patted her chest to calm herself down. These functions were even more exciting than when she first activated the space.
She swallowed hard and took a deep breath. Then, she went into the room and looked at the laptop on the desk.
She had spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy it. It was unbelievably fast.
She opened the laptop nervously and pressed the power button. The main screen appeared three seconds later.
Her hand, holding the mouse, was trembling. She opened the browser and prayed to the heavens in her heart, hoping it was the one she was looking forward to.
When she saw the scene in her mind, she stood up excitedly and ran out of the house to roar at the sky.
“Haha, awesome!! Space, you’re really awesome. I’m impressed by you. This time, not only did you bring electricity, but you also brought the Internet.”
Qiao Mai was so happy she ran a few rounds between the house and the shelves. She was so excited.
She would not be bored in ancient times anymore. With the Internet, she could learn things from ancient times and search for them online. It would not be a problem for her to cook if she wanted to.
Did she have to be so awesome? She was going crazy!
Qiao Mai couldn’t believe it and pinched herself hard.
“Hiss, that hurts.”
She sat at the table again and browsed the web. When she saw the shopping website, she paused for a moment. If only she could mail the things from that world to this place.
It seemed that the express delivery service had not reached this level yet.
Sure enough, she could see the product after clicking on it. However, she could not write a word in the buyer’s address column.
It seemed that this function was still to be developed. As expected of a top student, she had thought too far ahead.
After the excitement died down, it was already late at night. Thinking she had to wake up early the next day, Qiao Mai turned off her laptop and lay on the bed.
She couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. The next morning, she had deep eye bags. It was obvious that she didn’t sleep well.
After taking good care of Ling’er, Qiao Mai stayed with her for a while. Once she fell asleep, Qiao Mai flashed out of the space.
She washed up first, then ran around the house for more than ten laps and practiced a set of fist techniques. She sweated all over and quickly entered the space to remove the sweat stains on her body.
She took out a packet of instant noodles, ham, and a few prawns.
She made a bowl of luxurious instant noodles for herself in the kitchen. After eating, she looked at the weather and placed the embroidery work in an exquisite basket. She hung it on her arm and locked the courtyard door before going to Ruyi Embroidery Manor.
Not long after the shop opened, Shopkeeper Lu saw her and quickly waved at her.
“You’re so early.”
“It’s considered late. In the past, I used to wake up before dawn. Now, I don’t have to work and only care about myself. I’m already content to be able to sleep until now.”
“You’re destined to work. Did you stay up late yesterday?”
“No, I just can’t sleep.”
Qiao Mai found a place not in the way and sat. She took out the work in the basket and began to embroider.
“Have you eaten?”
“Yes.”
Shopkeeper Lu sat on her side and watched quietly. Not long after, her two daughters came over.
“Mother, Auntie Qiao, good morning.”
“Morning!”
There was nothing much to do at the moment. The two stood by Qiao Mai’s side and watched carefully.
Qiao Mai raised her head and smiled at them. “Double-sided embroidery may seem magical, but it’s also one of the many embroidery techniques. When you embroider it, you must first cut the thread neatly, and the needle must be vertical. You can’t pierce the thread on the opposite side like this…”
