Chapter 13 13. Too Real

Listening to the clanging sounds of the restaurant's renovations, passers-by looked into the restaurant with some gossip.

“Is this restaurant going to reopen?”

"I heard it was! This restaurant hasn't been open for years. If it suddenly opens now, will anyone go there to eat?"

"Who cares? I won't come here to eat. Have you forgotten that someone died from eating here a few years ago?"

"Indeed, the food in this restaurant a few years ago was truly amazing! What a shame! What a shame!"

"I heard that eating dead bodies was a frame-up. Lu Laosan was wrongly accused. Those people framed Lu Laosan just for the secret recipe of the dish."

"Just keep your mouth shut! If someone hears you, you'll be in big trouble."

"Let's go!"

The pedestrians dispersed.

Baihu Yaoyao stood behind the door and listened. It turned out that this restaurant had such a past.

Lu Laosan is the original body's father.

At that time, everyone had to call him Third Master.

The original owner had no memory of why the restaurant closed down.

At that time, the original owner was a silly girl. She lived in a small village called Lujia Village and had no idea why a person died from eating food in a restaurant.

Until later, the restaurant suddenly went bankrupt, and the Lu family severed all ties with them.

She was also kicked out of the Lu family, so her father had no choice but to bring her and her mother to live in the town.

So many years have passed, and there are still people who remember this incident.

Baihu Yaoyao ignored the discussions of those people and went to the bungalow in the backyard to continue working the soil and growing vegetables.

Anyway, her restaurant is mostly a cover, and she wants to make money from those people from the demon clan.

Let’s plant vegetables in both rooms first.

Back in the space, the seeds planted last night have sprouted and can be transplanted into the room outside.

There was a brazier burning in the bungalow, so it wasn't cold.

Plant the seedlings one by one.

Perhaps due to the soil in the space, these seedlings showed no signs of withering, but instead took root very quickly.

"It's amazing." The white fox Yaoyao worked hard for the whole morning and finally planted vegetables on all the land.

I went to the kitchen and started making lunch. Today I steamed multi-grain buns and fried a few dishes.

She even went to Dazhu next door to buy some big bones and made a pot of bone soup.

Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, the old man pulled the white fox Yaoyao aside with a strange expression.

"Yaoyao, you cook such sumptuous meals all day long. Where do you have enough money? Just cook something casually next time. We just need to eat enough so that we won't go hungry." The old man looked at her worriedly.

This child is just like her father, so real!

Baihu Yaoyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandpa Gu, don't worry. I still have a lot of money after selling that ginseng. You can only work after you have a good meal!"

The old man always felt that the child was too naive, and he couldn't help but advise him, "Don't be so naive, silly child. The country has been in war for many years, and every family has a hard time. If you keep spending money like this, how will you live in the future? Listen to what grandpa says. From now on, just cook one dish and one soup, and eat whole grain steamed buns for every meal. Just make enough to fill your stomach."

Ordinary people can’t even afford whole-grain steamed buns.

Even if it is a meal with only one dish and one soup, it is a good meal that ordinary people cannot afford.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was grateful for his protection. "Grandpa Gu, don't worry, I know what's going on. You work for me, so you must eat well and have enough."

Only when the workers are well fed will they work hard for her, right?

She still understands the ins and outs of this.

"Okay! Just know what's going on."

Seeing that she insisted, Old Man Gu didn't want to persuade her any further and went to eat with her.

After the meal, Grandpa Gu told them to work hard and not to try to get away with it.

Several people said they would definitely do a good job.

Only then did the old man feel relieved.

Yaoyao the white fox saw all of this, cleaned up the dishes and went to Aunt Wang's house next door.

Seeing that Brother Dazhu had prepared the pig offal for her, she put down a few copper coins and returned home with the pig offal.

The previous pot of braised meat was almost finished, so she planned to braise another pot of meat.

Place the pork offal in the water and let it thaw on its own.

Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go to the market and buy some chickens, ducks, geese, etc. to raise in the space.

I went to the market and, as expected, there were very few people.

There were only a few kinds of vegetables, and they were all wilted, so she didn't plan to buy any.

There were a few old women who looked like they were from wealthy families, buying those wilted vegetables.

When we arrived at the place where chickens, ducks and geese were sold, we found that there were also people selling calves.

"Old man, how do you sell this calf?"

Buy a calf and put it in the space, and when the cow grows up, it can help her plow the fields.

The old man was wrapped in a tattered cotton jacket, his neck hunched due to the cold, his eyes dull. When he saw someone asking about the calf, he stood up carefully.

"Girl, please give me two taels of silver for this calf! If the old cow hadn't died and this calf hadn't had any milk to drink, I wouldn't be willing to sell it."

For ordinary people, a cow is the most valuable property in the family. Families that can sell their cows are really in trouble.

Yaoyao, the white fox, knew that this calf was worth more than two taels of silver. "Old man, I have five taels of silver here. Take it, and I'll take the calf away."

This old man must have been trying to sell it here for many days but couldn't get it sold, so he wants to sell it at a low price.

The old man was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"My benefactor! You are my family's great benefactor! With this money, my family can finally get through this winter. Thank you so much!"

Bang bang bang.

The old man kowtowed three times in a row.

Baihu Yaoyao quickly pulled the man up and said, "Old man, you don't have to thank me. This calf is worth the money."

The old man stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes. "That being said, no one is buying it. That's why I lowered the price to two taels of silver. Thank you very much, young lady."

The white fox smiled and said, "You're welcome, old man. I'll be leaving first."

The calf seemed very willing to follow the white fox Yaoyao, and ran away happily behind her.

She bought up all the live animals in the market, including chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons.

They sent those people directly to the backyard of the restaurant, and after settling the bills, they all left.

She collected the chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons and other animals directly into the space in a deserted place.

She also took the calf into the space.

There is a towering mountain in the space, and at the foot of the mountain there is a vast green grassland.

The grasslands are full of lush wild grasses and flowers, and there are lakes winding through the grasslands.

This is the best place for grazing.

Looking at the creatures having fun on the grassland, the white fox smiled comfortably.

The calf started to nibble on the grass as soon as it got into the space. It nibbled on it happily, and shook its hooves from time to time.

With these living creatures, her space became lively.

"Let's go make the braised meat first."

The thawed pig offal was washed carefully and then put into the brine to continue braising the meat.

When making braised meat, the braising liquid is a very important step. If you want it to taste good, you have to reuse the braising liquid several times.
