Moreover, the taste was exactly the same as what she had eaten as a child. This familiar taste, familiar person, and familiar feeling deeply moved Ye Xiruo. Peaceful times and a stable world—this must be what this scene described! It's a pity that the person she cherished most was gone, leaving only hatred on this continent.

"Xiao Ye, eat more. You'll definitely like this pickled pepper cured pork."

"Okay, thank you very much, Sister Zhang. Your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Xiaoye's mouth is still so sweet."

Xiu Qiyu ate a scallion and egg pancake, a few steamed buns, and drank a bowl of mushroom and vegetable porridge before putting down her chopsticks: "It was delicious, thank you for your hospitality, sister-in-law."

"The food in the village is still the most authentic and reassuring."

"Yes, the village lacks everything, but the food is absolutely safe to eat, as it's all grown by our own families."

"Yes, this is exactly the taste. I'll have to trouble Aunt Zhang these next few days to see if anyone wants to sell livestock. Slaughter and clean them, and the price will be 10% higher than the market price. I'll have someone come and take them away then, okay?"

"That would be too much trouble. We're all from the same village. Taking off by 10% would be more reasonable. How could we possibly charge more?"

"It's alright, Aunt Wang. The livestock we raise ourselves are all fed with grain. They're really good stuff and worth this much money. I won't lose out."

"Aren't you really going to lose out? Hiring a car and all that costs money."

"Don't worry! You really won't lose out. I just want to buy with peace of mind and eat with peace of mind."

"Okay, I'll go tell them that several families have released their pigs, as well as their roosters and black-boned chickens."

"Alright, alright, then I'll trouble you, Sister Zhang. I'll buy it all, no matter how much." Ye Xiruo was really going all out for a meal. Her meat stash in her spatial storage was empty, with only a few beggar's chickens left. She didn't know how many additives were in the meat at the market, so she decided not to waste her money. Buying directly from the village would give her peace of mind.

After finishing their meal, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu took their leave to return and tidy up the courtyard. Erzhu, quick-witted as ever, immediately stood up and said, "Brother and sister, I'll go help too."

"Thank you very much, little friend."

Erzhu's face turned bright red. Sister Xiaoye is really beautiful.

After borrowing a few handy tools from Sister Zhang's house, the three of them went back and started working.

Xiu Qiyu took a hoe and quickly cleared away all the weeds outside the yard with incredible speed. She also dried out the weeds and destroyed them from the roots, so they wouldn't be able to grow back.

"Brother is amazing." Erzhu quickly became a die-hard fan of Xiu Qiyu.

Once inside the courtyard, the weeds were almost half a person tall.

"Little Leaf, you rest over there, I'll take care of these."

Ye Xiruo didn't mince words: "Alright, you can have these big weeds. Erzhu and I will clear out the smaller weeds in a bit."

The weeds looked incredibly resilient, with thick, strong roots, making the small hoe seem like a poor choice. But Xiu Qiyu casually chopped down a patch of those robust weeds, piled them in a corner, and waited for the sun to dry them out before burning them for ashes—that's how the people here did it.

Xiu Qiyu quickly cleared away the weeds in the yard, finally aligning it with the small courtyard in her mind. Unfortunately, the grape trellis had fallen over due to the passage of time, and the grapevines had long since died. However, the small stone table and four small round stools in the yard were still there.

Erzhu saw that there was nothing he could do to help, and his little face was tense and very serious.

"Alright, Erzhu, my brother and I are enough here. Go play! I won't tell Sister-in-law Zhang," Ye Xiruo coaxed gently.

"But I came here to help."

The child was too honest, and Ye Xiruo was powerless to refute him.

"Then you can go back and help Sister Zhang prepare lunch, it's the same thing." It seems that after tidying up the house, they need to go to the town mayor to buy some things. The things in their spatial rings cannot be shown to others; it's better to keep a low profile.

Erzhu seemed to be persuaded by Ye Xiruo: "Alright then! I'll go help Grandma steam buns. Remember to come for lunch, brothers and sisters."

"Don't worry! I won't forget."

After Erzhu left, Xiu Qiyu pushed open the door to the main house. Dust, a musty smell, and cobwebs everywhere. Sigh.

Xiu Qiyu flicked her sleeve and used a small dust-removing spell to sweep away all the dust. All the windows were opened, and the dust flew directly outside. A thin stream of water flew out from Xiu Qiyu's fingertips, quickly rolling around in the room and breaking down the dust.

There's no way around it; Brother Xiu Qi is best at this kind of thing. All she knows is setting things on fire. Forcing small plants to grow and purifying the air isn't impossible, but it would arouse suspicion. She's really useless.

The tiny water droplet grew larger and larger, its color changing from transparent to black. As it rolled around, it acted like a natural vacuum cleaner, leaving no corner untouched, and the entire room, including the windows, exuded a clean and fresh scent.

Ye Xiruo's eyes gleamed with golden light: "Brother Xiu Qi is truly amazing." Soon, the black water sphere was frozen into ice, turning into countless ice shards that dissipated into the air.

"Let's tidy up the kitchen, go to town this afternoon to buy some things, and then we can cook for ourselves tonight."

"good."

Xiu Qiyu quickly went to clean up the kitchen, and moved out some rotten and dilapidated things, asking Ye Xi what to do.

Since Ye Xiruo naturally refused to be dealt with directly, they stored everything in their space, which served as a memento at least.

After clearing away the clutter, the kitchen felt much emptier, and Xiu Qiyu quickly tidied it up.

"Brother Xiu Qi, you've worked hard."

"It's nothing." This is where Xiao Yezi used to live. It's somewhat similar to Liujia Village, only quieter and more peaceful.

During this time, Ye Xiruo absorbed all the wood element from the weeds on the ground. Soon, the grass on the ground lost its vitality and looked as if it had been dried out by the sun, each one wilted. However, they could never regain their vitality.

Once most of the moisture in the grass had evaporated, Ye Xiruo planned to set it on fire to clean it up. After that, it would be difficult for weeds to grow in the yard.

Unfortunately, they didn't have much time, otherwise they could have planted some vegetables in the yard.
