Chapter 11 Water Hyacinth

Shen Yueyao needs to knead the dough and let it rise. She has to get up early tomorrow morning to make some roujiamo so that she can go to the town to set up a stall at the morning market.

There is a lot of pig offal in the braised pork at home, which is just right for making some roujiamo.

Shen Yueyao was busy at the stove, lighting an oil lamp.

There was no electricity in that era, so if you wanted to do something at night, you could only light candles or oil lamps.

Candles were very expensive in this era, so people could only make their own lamp oil and light a wick.

In fact, most people in the village work from sunrise to sunset, so they get up at dawn to busy themselves with the day's work and go to bed at night. They don't need to light oil lamps or candles, which can also save money.

But Shen Yueyao planned to go to the town early tomorrow morning to set up a stall to sell roujiamo, so she could only knead the dough by lamplight.

This way, the dough will be well risen when you wake up tomorrow morning.

Su Xueyi leaned back on the bed, listening to the slight sound coming from the stove. Her eyebrows were furrowed, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Shen Yueyao was busy for a long time before she finished.

"This body is too fat. I get tired after just a little movement."

Shen Yueyao muttered to herself, feeling a little sleepy.

This body has its own biological clock. At this time, I feel so sleepy.

She returned to the house and saw in the moonlight outside that Su Xueyi had already lain down and fallen asleep.

She also took off her shoes, quietly got on the bed, went inside and lay down to sleep.

She fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

Su Xueyi listened to the shallow breathing sound and frowned.

…

After a good night's sleep, the next day at dawn, the sound of chickens crowing could be heard in the village.

Shen Yueyao was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by the crowing of a rooster.

When she opened her eyes, she was still a little confused and muttered to herself in a daze, "Where is this?"

After looking at the beams above the house for a while, Shen Yueyao came back to her senses.

She sat up suddenly and said, "I still need to make roujiamo."

As she said that, Shen Yueyao got out of bed in a hurry.

In this era, there were no things like alarm clocks, so getting up a little late in the morning would delay things.

If you want to sell breakfast at the morning market, you have to go earlier.

And she thought that if possible, she could take a bullock cart to town in the morning.

It would be faster if you spent a penny.

But because she was a little anxious, and her body was fat and inflexible, Shen Yueyao accidentally fell on Su Xueyi when she passed by him.

"ah!"

Shen Yueyao fell on Su Xueyi.

"hiss!"

Su Xueyi just looked at Shen Yueyao lying on top of her.

When she met her pair of clear and beautiful eyes, Su Xueyi was slightly stunned.

These eyes were very different from her previous ones. They were no longer greedy and turbid, but clean and clear, as if there was no dust or impurities mixed in them.

This look gave him a momentary sense of familiarity.

It seemed as if he had seen such a pair of eyes at some point in his life.

When I thought about it carefully, my head started to hurt.

Shen Yueyao froze as she looked at the postures of the two people.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the night more than three years ago when she traveled through time. It was that night that the two of them had physical relations and then she became pregnant.

Seeing that Shen Yueyao didn't move, Su Xueyi whispered, "How long do you want to lie down?"

Shen Yueyao wanted to cry but had no tears. She quickly stood up and explained, "Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to do anything to you. I just accidentally gave up and fell. Really."

Shen Yueyao's eyes were very sincere, and what she said was also very sincere.

But she felt that Su Xueyi would definitely not believe it, and thought that she had taken the opportunity to throw herself into his arms.

After all, the predecessor did this many times.

This time Su Xueyi didn't say anything, nor did she push her to the ground directly.

Perhaps it was because Shen Yueyao reacted quickly, she got off the ground as quickly as possible and ran into the yard.

She quickly fetched water to wash her face.

In early spring, when the sun doesn't come out in the morning, the weather is really cold.

Fortunately, this body is fat and can resist the cold.

She washed her face, sobered up, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't bother to think too much and continued to work.

First, you need to make the steamed bun for Roujiamo.

Next, heat up yesterday’s braised pork offal.

Thinking about making money, Shen Yueyao worked very quickly.

This time she made more than fifty roujiamo and put them into the wooden house in the space.

Although there was nothing in the space, she found that the space had the ability to keep warm. When she put the freshly made hot roujiamo in the space, it was still warm when she took it out.

This makes it convenient for her to take things to set up her stall.

Before leaving, Shen Yueyao came to the west room and looked at Su Xueyi, who was sitting at the head of the bed, thinking about something. She said, "I made some roujiamo and kept it hot in the pot. Remember to eat it when you wake up. I'm going to town first."

Shen Yueyao remembered that in the morning there would be ox carts passing by the village entrance.

When she went there, she just happened to be able to ride on the ox cart.

However, she didn't expect that the person driving the car was Lin Chi. He should be delivering something to the town.

Shen Yueyao gave him the copper coins, but he refused, "Sister-in-law, Brother Su saved my life before, I can't take your money."

Lin Chi is very honest and doesn't want anything.

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and took out a roujiamo from her hand and gave it to him, saying, "Thank you for returning Xueyi yesterday. I really troubled you. This is the roujiamo I made this morning. Please try it."

How could Lin Chi have the nerve to take the food, but this time Shen Yueyao insisted, "Take it. If you don't take it, Xueyi and I will feel bad. We really needed your help yesterday."

Lin Chi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Sister-in-law, you're being polite. I just happened to meet him when I passed by. If it were anyone else in the village, everyone would help."

As Lin Chi was speaking, he was suddenly attracted by the smell of roujiamo and forgot what he was going to say.

"Sister-in-law, is this called Roujiamo? I've never eaten it before, but it smells delicious."

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Try it and see how it tastes. I plan to open a breakfast stall in town to sell this kind of roujiamo."

Lin Chi couldn't help but take a bite, and was stunned by the taste.

This tastes amazing.

He couldn't help but take another bite, only then was he sure that it wasn't an illusion.

Lin Chi's eyes were shining with excitement, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, you are amazing. This roujiamo is so delicious, better than anything I have ever eaten."

Although his father was the village head and the family had a lot of land, his father and his elder brother were all able to work and their lives were better.

But that was only slightly better than most people in the village. They couldn't eat much meat on weekdays. They could only eat some meat during the Chinese New Year to taste the flavor.

He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and the meat he could eat didn't taste like this.

Not to mention the white flour bread wrapped with meat, after a few bites, I feel so comfortable in my stomach.

Seeing that Lin Chi enjoyed eating, Shen Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you like it, eat slowly, don't choke."

At first, Lin Chi ate voraciously, but after a few bites, when only a small half was left, he couldn't bear to eat it anymore.

He picked up the water gourd and took a sip of water.

When Shen Yueyao saw the gourd in his hand, her expression changed and she asked, “Lin Chi, is the gourd in your hand used to hold water?”

Lin Chi looked at the gourd, a little confused as to why Shen Yueyao asked this, but he still explained: "Sister-in-law, this is a gourd for holding water. I often go to town, and my mother was afraid that I would be thirsty, so she made a water gourd for me using gourds from the mountains, specifically for holding water to drink."

When Shen Yueyao saw the gourd, some business ideas suddenly came to her mind, and she was naturally excited.

"Can I take a look? I wonder how much this gourd costs?"
