Pei Yuezhi first ate the piece of lean meat that Liu Yuanyuan had picked up. It wasn't dry at all; it was incredibly tender and had a slightly sweet taste.

Pei Yunzhi tasted a piece of stuffed green pepper. He ate in a more refined manner and savored the food more carefully.

These stuffed green peppers are filled with meat, exuding a rich aroma and a flavorful sauce. The green peppers cut through the richness, and they would be incredibly satisfying served with rice.

Even Pei Yunzhi, who usually eats slowly and carefully, took a big bite of rice after tasting it.

"Mom, what you made is so delicious! This braised pork knuckle isn't greasy at all; it feels like it's going to melt in your mouth."

“Mu’er is right, Mother, Chao’er has never tasted anything so delicious.”

They all nodded repeatedly, their chopsticks barely stopping as they ate with great relish.

Pei Yunzhi, on the other hand, ate a few bites of meat and then started eating shredded potatoes and sweet potato sprouts.

Li Nian'an is the same; she doesn't eat much meat.

"I made extra today, because it's hot and we won't be able to finish it. Hurry up and eat some meat, or it will go bad."

Hearing that it was hot and the food couldn't be stored away, they picked up more meat to eat.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Pei Yuezhi was also very happy. What chef doesn't want everyone to like what they make?

Fan Mu ate with the most enjoyment, mixing her rice with the broth and adding the fragrant meat. Her little mouth was greasy from eating. Suddenly, she swallowed her rice and asked with a puzzled look, "Mother, why do I hear some noises coming from the bedroom?"

"Oh dear, I always felt like I'd forgotten something!" Pei Yuezhi slapped her forehead. "My memory is terrible!"

She quickly got up and opened the bedroom door. A small dog ran out barking and rubbed against Pei Yuezhi's legs.

"Puppy! Yueyue, where did this puppy come from? It's so dirty, but so cute!" Liu Yuanyuan especially loves fluffy and cute things. When she saw the puppy, she didn't even eat her meal before coming over.

“Yunzhi found a little stray dog. I thought it liked me, so I kidnapped it and brought it home.”

"Great! Let's raise it together!" Liu Yuanyuan was overjoyed.

Pei Yuezhi wanted to get something to eat for the puppy, but there wasn't enough rice. Suddenly, she remembered the dried-up flatbread in her younger brother's hand when she saw him.

I got some flatbread from Pei Yunzhi, soaked it in hot water to soften it, and drizzled some pork knuckle broth on top. The luxurious dog food was ready!

The puppy seemed hungry and started eating quickly. Reassured, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan went back to continue their meal.

"Keep eating, don't let it get cold."

After dinner, Pei Yuezhi was a little tired and lay down to rest. The others took the initiative to clean up, and under Liu Yuanyuan's guidance, the three children went to wash the puppy.

Pei Yunzhi also came over to say goodbye. He had come suddenly today without telling his father, so he wanted to go back early to avoid worrying his father.

Hearing that he was leaving, Pei Yuezhi quickly got up and went to the kitchen, but actually took out the food she had left for her father from her spatial storage and put it in a basket for him to take back.

Today was the first time I sold steamed dumplings, and the response was great. Many people came to buy them after hearing they were delicious, but they were all sold out by the time they arrived. I'll have to prepare more tomorrow.

Just as I was thinking about how much I needed to prepare for tomorrow, I realized I had to wrap it up tonight, otherwise there would be too much, Liu Yuanyuan came in.

"I've finished washing Benben with the kids, let's go make dumplings!"

Pei Yuezhi was a little confused: "Silly?"

"Oh, it's that little dog, with a chubby face and a silly-looking face."

"The name is quite cute. Are you going to help me make dumplings? Then you'd better make them look nice," Pei Yue said with a smile.

Liu Yuanyuan pulled her arm and they walked together into the kitchen: "We'll definitely be selling a lot tomorrow, so I have to help you. It's just that the dumplings I make might not look as nice."

Pei Yuezhi asked, somewhat puzzled, "How did you know to wrap so many? I haven't even told you yet."

"I'm just guessing! I think a lot of people will like it, so we'll definitely have a lot to do today."

Pei Yuezhi already knew how much to do. Yesterday's sales were exceptionally fast, so she simply doubled the price, estimating that it would still sell out.

So I bought 25 coins' worth of pork cracklings and five stalks of pickled cabbage for 5 coins.

With so much sauerkraut, it would be difficult for one person to chop it into filling, so Liu Yuanyuan went home and brought her cutting board and knife.

The kitchen was filled with constant banging and clanging.

When it was time to make dumplings, all three children came over to help, saying that there was so much to do and they should help.

Pei Yuezhi didn't want to dampen the children's enthusiasm, and besides, they knew that helping was a good thing, so she started assigning tasks.

Liu Yuanyuan made dumplings by herself. Li Nian'an was quite good at it, so she asked him to teach the other two children how to make dumplings. It didn't matter if they were slow, but they just had to make sure they didn't break and that they looked nice.

With the help of Liu Yuanyuan and the children, the task was completed quickly. Later, when the four of them were making dumplings, she went to roll out the dough for the savory pancakes.

Once the dumplings were almost finished, I sent the three children out first. Then I put the eighty dumplings and the rolled-out dough into the space, so they would still be fresh when I made them the next morning.

I'm a bit busy and a bit tired, but I slept exceptionally well today. In the morning, all I need to do is steam dumplings and make pancakes, so I don't have to get up too early.

When Pei Yuezhi arrived at the kitchen, she was a little surprised to find Liu Yuanyuan already there.

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing here? Why are you here so early?" Pei Yuezhi asked as she took out dumplings and put them into the steamer.

"I'll make you breakfast! How about some porridge? And some pickled potatoes and small potatoes? How much do you have left?"

Pei Yuezhi pointed to the jar on the side: "Take a look and see how much is left. I guess there isn't much left. I'll make some more another day."

Liu Yuanyuan felt sorry for Pei Yuezhi, who was busy running around doing whatever she could.

Today we prepared a total of eighty large steamed dumplings, and fifteen servings of savory pancakes.

When we arrived at the usual spot, there were still several people waiting there.

Upon seeing Pei Yuezhi, people crowded around her. Almost no one bought just one; everyone bought two at a time. Some who hadn't bought any yesterday bought two today, saying they believed that if so many people were buying them, they must be delicious.

I don't know if it was someone's advertising or what, but today it was like we were surrounded by people. Eighty steamed dumplings were gone just after lunchtime. Surprisingly, we still had some savory pancakes left. I counted and there were six left.

"It's sold out again? Girl, didn't you want to make more? I still couldn't get any. Sigh."

"I heard it was delicious, so I bought two the first time I bought them. After I finished them, I wanted to buy more, but they were all gone!"

"At least you got to eat!"

Hearing their complaints, Pei Yuezhi smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Next time, I'll definitely order more."

After waiting a while, some people bought the savory pancakes, but in the end, only two portions were left, and no one came to buy them for a long time.

It was time for the oxcart to go back, so Pei Yuezhi decided to head back as well.
