After putting down the pot, Zhang's eyes immediately fell on the piles of pig intestines in the wooden bucket.

As she approached, a strong smell of pork hit her nose. She quickly covered her nostrils with one hand and waved her other hand in front of her to dispel the odor.

"San Gui, where did you pick up this pig offal? It smells so fishy and stinky, you can't eat it. I'll throw it away for you."

After Zhang finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves, reached out and lifted the wooden bucket containing pig intestines out to throw it away.

Tian Sangui, who was sorting through the vegetables and grains, was startled by Zhang's actions. Those were valuable items; she was counting on them to make money tomorrow, so she couldn't throw them away.

"Mom, put the bucket down quickly! Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away!"

Zhang was so preoccupied with her disdain that she didn't hear what her daughter was yelling at all.

Seeing that Zhang was still moving, Tian Sangui became anxious. She didn't hold the flour steady and almost spilled it on the ground. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and didn't completely let go. She caught the opening in time and saved most of the flour.

But just as Zhang Shi walked out of the kitchen, and she was pacing anxiously, Tian Da carried in a large bundle of firewood. In order to save her son, Zhang Shi had no choice but to pull back the foot she had stepped out of the kitchen.

Tian Sangui felt a glimmer of hope and shouted to Tian Da, "Big brother, quickly stop Mother and take the wooden bucket from her hands!"

Tian Da didn't care what it was. When he heard his sister ordering him around, how could he not obey? So he dropped the firewood, took a big step forward, and snatched the bucket from Zhang's hand.

"Hey, why are you taking it? Throw it away right now, it smells awful."

While covering her nose, Zhang scolded Tian Da in a shrill voice.

Upon hearing Zhang's words, he finally smelled a foul odor that rushed into his nostrils, instantly making him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Oh my god, Third Sister, what did you make? The smell is so strong!"

Tian Da couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pinched his bulbous nose with his other hand, looking at Tian Sangui.

Finally free, Tian Sangui quickly snatched the wooden bucket from Tian Da's hands, holding it in his arms like a treasure, his eyes darting back and forth between Zhang Shi and Tian Da.

She looked as if she was afraid the mother and son would snatch it away and throw it away.

"I bought this with my own money, so I can't throw it away. Brother, could you fetch two buckets of water for me? I'll use it to cook dinner later. After lunch, I'll wash it and cook you a big meal for dinner!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your main course!"

Tian Da, carrying two wooden buckets, whispered in Tian Sangui's ear, his eyes full of anticipation.

While he was away, he heard his father say that his third sister cooked for wealthy families and received praise and rewards. He wondered where his third sister had learned her skills and he wanted to try it himself.

Seeing her daughter clutching that smelly thing to her chest like a treasure, Zhang shook her head and sighed helplessly. She didn't stop her anymore and simply let her do as she pleased. Only after tasting it would she know that it was inedible.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Zhang asked with a smile, her disdain gone.

"Braised pork belly for lunch!"

"Okay, Mother will help you stomp the fire."

"Um!"

The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen, while Tian Lao Si and his sons rested in the yard. Tian Da and Tian Er returned home together. Tian Da carried two buckets of water into the kitchen, while Tian Er had an extra bundle of... some green and yellow weeds that he had picked from somewhere.

With a smirk on his face, he headed straight for the donkey lying in the corner.

He placed the grass on the ground, picked it up one handful at a time, and fed it to the animal, his face full of satisfaction.

Tian Laosi glanced at him and then looked away; he basically didn't care what the children did.

Little Si and Little Wu seemed to find it novel and interesting, and they came running over with their short legs, hugging Tian Er's two long legs to watch.

Finding it amusing, he imitated his second brother, picking up some wild grass and feeding it to the donkey. Xiao Wu followed suit, and the three of them had a great time playing with the donkey.

Half an hour later, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of rice and braised pork. The greedy little four and five abandoned feeding the donkey and ran to the kitchen to gnaw on the stove. Looking at the bright red, fragrant, and tender pork belly, they were so hungry that their mouths were practically watering into the pot.

Dinner's ready!

Tian Sangui ladled the meat into a large bowl and called out to the outside world.

"Ah, time to eat! I'll go get the table!" Tian Da went into the house to get the bamboo square table he had just finished making that morning, along with four long benches.

"It smells so good! I've never smelled such delicious food during the New Year." Tian Er had already smelled the aroma and was just waiting for Tian Sangui to call him for dinner.

Tian Laosi walked into the kitchen and saw Zhang Shi squatting on the ground tending the fire, while Tian Sangui was busy washing the pots: "No wonder Sangui was able to get the reward money from the wealthy family. Just by smelling the aroma, his cooking skills are no worse than those in restaurants, hahaha!"

"Yes, I was watching from the side and I wanted to sneak a piece to try!" Zhang said with a smile, handing a bowl of rice to Tian Laosi to take out.

As Zhang carried the dishes away, she called out to Tian Sangui, "Sangui, come out and eat quickly!"

"Hey, I'll just add a pot of water and be right there!"

Inside the courtyard, the family sat in the shade. Zhang served rice to the children. When Tian Sangui took off his apron and came to sit down, he saw that the rice in the bowl in front of him was piled up beyond the rim. She quickly explained his appetite.

"Mom, you've given me too much, I can't eat it all." She got up and put the extra rice from her bowl back into the basin.

Looking at her with concern, Zhang said a few words: "You earn money and cook, how can your body take it if you don't eat more?"

"Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing. Look, I still have more than half a bowl left. There's enough for me no matter how much I eat. Would I mistreat myself at home?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang smiled and tapped Tian Sangui's forehead with her finger: "Eat!"

The fourth and fifth children couldn't wait any longer. They picked up a large piece of pork belly, wrapped it up in one bite, and their cheeks bulged out like frogs on a paddy field, making people want to laugh.

"Delicious..." Her mouth was probably filled with meat, leaving no room to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu wanted to do the same as his fourth brother, but was stopped by Zhang, who was sitting next to him. Zhang used her chopsticks to cut the meat into three small pieces and put them into his bowl.

Xiao Wu quickly picked up a bite with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Her big, round eyes instantly lit up: "Ah, so delicious!"

Hearing the little guy's praise, Tian Sangui reached out and touched the little guy's smooth face.

The family ate happily, their mouths glistening with oil. Even after the dishes were cleared away, Tian Da was still not satisfied: "Third sister's cooking is really good. If Mom hadn't stopped me, I could have eaten three more big bowls. It's been a long time since I've eaten so much."

"Burp~" Tian Er sat on the bench, burping.

"It's so great to have a younger sister!"

Tian Da agreed with his second brother's words.

After Tian Sangui and Zhang Shi finished cleaning up the dishes, she took out the pig intestines and put them in a wooden basin. She added a spoonful of flour and a spoonful of salt and rubbed them several times.

"Brother, could you fetch me two more buckets of water later? I need a lot of water."

While rubbing his large intestine, Tian Sangui called for Tian Da's help.

Tian Da, who was sitting and resting nearby, never refused his sister's request.

"Alright, plenty!"

When Zhang came out of the main room, she saw Tian Sangui sprinkling flour and salt. It would be a lie to say she wasn't heartbroken, but thinking of her daughter's stubbornness, she gave up the idea of ​​stopping him.

Let her hit a wall once and for all, otherwise she'll never give up.

Zhang didn't think highly of Tian Sangui anyway, and was certain that what she made would be 100% unpalatable.

Old Tian didn't have to work in the afternoon. After resting for a while, he carried his bamboo basket and disappeared behind the house.

According to Zhang, he went to collect some clay and firewood, and when he returned, he worked on the stove. In a few days, the new stove would be ready to use.

Tian Er also had his own things to do; he wanted to build a shed for the donkey so that it could sleep more comfortably at night.

The four and five children were still playing happily in the yard, while Tian Da helped Tian Sangui with his tasks.

After pouring in four buckets of water, Tian Sangui turned the pig intestines over and removed the fat inside.

Next, add flour and salt and continue kneading.

After another four buckets of water were poured in, the pig intestines became clean and odorless. They were then taken to the kitchen to prepare for the next step.

Bring water to a boil in a pot, then put the large intestine into the cold water. Once the water boils again, remove it and place it in a bowl. Add a suitable amount of cooking oil, then mix it evenly with your hands and set it aside for later use.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, she quickly switched to Fei Wangwang, selected the necessary ingredients and seasonings from it, and then took out five pounds of flour, putting it into the burlap sack she had previously prepared to mislead others, so as not to have to rack her brains for an excuse if she was discovered.

After you've made your selections and are about to close Fei Wang Wang, it suddenly says: "Beep beep beep, the total value of your selected items is ten coins. The system will automatically add it to your target. Your target for this time is one thousand two hundred and ninety coins. We wish you a pleasant shopping experience and welcome you to visit us again!"

Fei Wangwang disappeared, leaving Tian Sangui standing there spitting out his mouth.

What a terrible system! It deducts money from my account even when I try to retrieve items.

What's the point of having it? Just for convenience when you need it?

Tian Sangui was furious and called Fei Wangwang out to argue with him.

Fei Wangwang: "Master, it's a pleasure to serve you again!"

Tian Sangui slapped Fei Wangwang on the head: "What are you so happy about?"

"Let me ask you, people just take what they need and use it whenever they want, and it's automatically restocked. Who talks to the owner about money?"

"With your lousy system, not only are there weight restrictions on what you can take, but resupply also requires a 24-hour cooldown. That's fine, but why do you still charge money for it?"

Tian Sangui grabbed Fei Wangwang's big ears and roared loudly into its ear canals.

Fei Wangwang's tiny pupils darted wildly around in their sockets from the shock, taking quite a while to return to normal.

Seeing its master get angry, it obediently explained to Tian Sangui: "Master, please calm down. This is how the system is set up. Look, you took more than a dozen kinds of spices and five catties of flour, which only cost ten coins in total. It's much cheaper than the market price. Most importantly, the mall has a full range of items at affordable prices, which makes it more convenient for you to use, isn't it?"

"The issues you mentioned regarding weight and cooldown time will improve as you complete the objectives and level up. To remove the restrictions, you must complete the objectives as quickly as possible. The more objectives you complete, the shorter the removal time will become. Good luck!"

The "biu~" disappeared again.
