Chapter 135: Sharing

"In other words, even without my grandmother, this dress would have faded over time, exposed to the wind and rain during exile..."

Seeing that she had caught Wen Liyu's attention, Cheng Weiyao came up with the next sentence and directly resolved the point of conflict. Wen Liyu felt sorry for her clothes, so she started by minimizing her grandmother's mistake from the source.

Wen Liyu was silent for a moment. After calming down, she realized that what Cheng Weiyao said was true. It was just that ever since her grandmother came to their home, she always felt that her treatment had changed, and she couldn't swallow this anger.

"And my grandmother is not lazy. She gets up early and starts working. She is very diligent and efficient. I go out to set up the stall early in the morning and come back in the evening. My grandmother can also help with lunch at home. It's always helpful to have more people around to help with things."

Cheng Weiyao noticed Wen Liyu's emotional changes and began to persuade her patiently. Now that the problem of the fuse had been solved, the next step was to analyze the interests.

"Although it's true that she settled in our Prince Qingping's Palace, Grandmother herself has the silver notes from the divorce, so she doesn't need us to spend money to take care of her..."

Hearing this, Wen Liyu was stunned. She vaguely remembered that on the day her grandmother came, her sister-in-law did give her a handful of banknotes. In this case, she didn't spend any money from the family to settle down today.

Rather than being a burden, my grandmother is actually a wealthy and hardworking old woman?

"The crying child gets the milk, but if you go too far, you'll really be disliked. Grandmother and you are blood relatives, but I'm the real outsider. You are her real granddaughter, who else should she love if not you? An old person in the family is like a treasure, and there are more people who love you and Cheng Ming..."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Cheng Weiyao pointed out the final psychological difficulty. There was even a hint of threat in her words. The first sentence was not pleasant to hear, but it was the reality.

Although Wen Liyu was a bit nitpicky, she was still insightful. She knew that Cheng Weiyao said all these things for the sake of family harmony and happiness, so she smiled immediately.

"I know my sister-in-law is doing this for my own good. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to my grandmother? You're even more nagging than the female teachers who teach girls in the palace..."

Cheng Weiyao finally felt relieved when her sister-in-law smiled. When the two of them left, the hot meal was already on the table. They should have started earlier, but the aunt insisted on waiting for Cheng Weiyao and Wen Liyu to come out.

"I was just being naughty. I didn't mean to offend you, Grandma. I'm sorry."

Wen Liyu walked to the dining table and bowed solemnly to her aunt before she sat down. This serious look made her aunt feel a little embarrassed, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"Ayu, please sit down and eat. We are all family, so let's not talk about different things..."

The Imperial Noble Consort was busy serving food to everyone with a cheerful smile on her face. She had been worried about how her daughter would get along with her mother in the future, but now, they had shaken hands and made peace, and the family lived in harmony.

"Grandma's cooking is quite good. You've been in Qingshi Town for a long time, so do you know what kind of breakfast snacks the locals generally prefer?"

The best place to talk is at the dinner table. After tasting her aunt's cooking, Cheng Weiyao nodded in approval. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a star-rated chef, and her home-cooked dishes were remarkable.

The concubine's eyebrows knitted slightly. She and the Imperial Concubine had been talking quite a bit these past two days, and she knew Cheng Weiyao worked tirelessly every day setting up a stall to earn money to support the family. But when it came to food, Qingshi Town boasted a prosperous trade network, a diverse population, and tastes that drew on a wide variety of cultures.

"Qingshi Town mainly eats noodles, steamed buns, meat patties, and mixed noodle porridge. Most people still eat steamed buns as their main food, with noodles as a supplement..."

After much thought, the aunt ordered all the famous breakfast snacks on the market in Qingshi Town. Cheng Weiyao pondered for a moment.

Roujiamo is unique, and tea eggs are quite standard. These two businesses can be handed over to the Imperial Concubine and Wen Liyu. If you want to make money, you still have to consider mainstream breakfast.

Steamed buns are a good option. QQ Farm has recently harvested a lot of wheat, and the all-purpose flour used to make steamed buns can be ground from wheat bran.

But other vendors who can think of it may not have thought of it either. The most popular products are the most likely to be saturated in the market, and ordinary buns may find it difficult to break through the siege.

Cheng Weiyao went through all the types of buns she had ever encountered in her mind: Tianjin Goubuli, Yangzhou Sanding Bao, Hangzhou Xiaolongbao...

"Grandma, are there any soup dumplings for sale in the market?"

This question really stumped my aunt. There are so many kinds of buns on the market, such as fresh meat buns, scallion oil buns, and vegetarian buns, but I have never seen buns with soup before?

When the aunt hesitated, Cheng Weiyao set her sights on the soup dumplings. Since this type of dumpling is not very common, it can be used as a signature dish!

Looking out at Tokyo through the curtains, you will be captivated by its prosperity. Many dynasties, both ancient and modern, have established their capitals in Kaifeng.

It can be said that Kaifeng soup dumplings are authentic Kyoto delicacies. Even in later generations, Xiaolongbao soup dumplings can capture the taste buds of countless diners with their thin skin, large fillings, soft and tender taste, and so on. They are popular in online food and have won the reputation of being the best soup dumplings in the world.

In order to put it into practice tomorrow morning, Cheng Weiyao started preparing the soup dumplings after dinner.

"I'm here to help too. When I was in Kyoto, I once went with the master to eat soup dumplings in a restaurant..."

The aunt came in with a smile on her face, but after she said a few words, her expression darkened a lot. The past and the past years that she talked about sounded like a dream.

In the past, the more favored the Imperial Noble Consort was, the more loved she was by the Master in the mansion. Now, it seems that there was no deep love at all, it was clearly just a temporary measure.

"Grandma, please help me knead the dough and roll out the wrappers. The kneading technique needs to be just right to ensure the dough is soft and smooth. The wrappers need to be palm-sized, evenly distributed, and thin on the edges and thick on the inside. Generally, when we make dumplings, we need to have at least eighteen to twenty-one folds..."

When Cheng Weiyao saw that her aunt was about to act emo, she quickly handed over the task of kneading and rolling the dough.

After all, we have been together for most of our lives, so it will definitely be a bit reluctant to part with each other. It will be fine if we keep busy.

Although my aunt is old, she has a lot of experience and she mastered the trick in no time. She has a deft hand and the dough she kneads is white, tender and smooth.

Cheng Weiyao began to prepare the meat filling. The production of traditional soup dumplings is very sophisticated, so she made a special trip to QQ Ranch to process the raised pigs.
