Chapter 27



After thinking about it, Pei Manning finally figured it out.

Her father was a very cunning man, how could he not understand the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows? The Pei family should have more than one place to hide their treasure.

Even she, when hiding things now, would not hide everything in the Sumi Realm, but would hide some outside.

Pei Manning brought several boxes and looked at them one by one.

These collections were collected by the Pei family over the past decade or so, using their own hands to collect them all over the country. Many of the secrets contained in them are the foundation of the Pei family's invincibility.

Pei Manning took out various cakes and pastries, and put the others into the warehouse for safekeeping.

With the current living standard, Pei Manning did not plan to make particularly delicate and expensive pastries. She planned to make some low-cost but delicious food, and then secretly ask for money and tickets.

But this matter cannot be rushed. Now Han Jingchen and the others are still suspicious of her. She doesn't know if they have made any arrangements to keep an eye on her movements. She can't take any risks.

Pei Manning tried making some pumpkin cakes, bean flour rolls, mung bean cakes, kidney bean cakes and dried fish.

During this time, she sent some homemade food to her neighbors in the name of having just moved in. After receiving food in return from her neighbors, she finally got to know the local taste.

She constantly adjusts the recipe, striving to achieve the best taste at a low cost.

It was just an ordinary pumpkin pie, but she made it into something special.

Although the pumpkin was bought outside and the flour was standard flour instead of Sumiji flour, it was soaked and steamed in Sumiji water.

All the dirt and impurities inside are soaked out, leaving only the delicious taste of the ingredients themselves.

The deep-fried pumpkin cake has a crispy and golden skin and a soft and glutinous texture. When you bite it, the soft and sweet part inside flows into your mouth, and the rich fragrance instantly fills your entire mouth.

It seems that the water from the magic world has special effects. The pumpkin pie tastes strange and fragrant, which is very different from ordinary pumpkin pie. It is not only delicious and sweet, but also leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth after eating. If you don’t tell me, you will probably think it is some new pastry.

Pei Manning thought that it should not be called pumpkin cake, but should be given a more luxurious name like "Golden Pastry" and sold in a restaurant under a new guise.

However, we cannot give it such a magnificent name now.

Within a few days, Pei Manning modified the recipes of several other pastries while waiting for news from Han Jingchen.

I wonder if the publishing society will reply to her?

At night, Pei Manning was taking a bath in Xumi Realm. Halfway through her bath, she suddenly heard a loud knock on the door.

Pei Manning was stunned for a moment. The knock on the door was loud and urgent. She was not sure if it was a neighbor who was looking for her urgently.

Pei Manning quickly put on her clothes and walked out of the room with wet hair.

After looking around, he felt something was wrong, so he poured some more water, wet the surface of the bedroom partition, and moved the steaming hot tub from the world and placed it in the partition to create the illusion that he had bathed here before.

Pei Manning finished all this and was about to open the door when she heard a "bang" from the yard.

It seems like someone jumped over the wall?

Pei Manning was originally worried that Mrs. Xu and the others had something urgent to talk to her about, but when she heard this, she instantly tensed up. How could someone climb over someone else's wall in the middle of the night?

She turned off the already dim kerosene lamp in the room, picked up a wooden stick and some powder, and hid nervously behind the window.

After her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could vaguely see a creature crawling up in the yard outside through the crack in the window.

The man got up from the bed and walked straight towards her room. The faint moonlight shone on him, revealing a vague outline. He looked very tall and strong.

Pei Manning pursed her lips, held her breath, and clenched the powder in her hand.

"Brother Chen, I just received a call from you."

Han Jingchen had just finished training, wearing a vest, covered in dust and sweat, and had no time to take a shower when Jiang Ye ran to inform him, panting.

"Who hit me?" He wiped his face with the wool, and then wiped the sweat from his neck.

Sweat slid down the honey-colored skin, and the vest was completely wet, sticking tightly to the skin, revealing a figure without any fat. The shoulders and back were broad and strong, and the hard muscles were faintly undulating. They did not look rough, but rather very strong. The sweat covered the smooth skin of the arms, which was slightly shiny.

Jiang Ye looked at it enviously, then remembered the important matter and said, "I heard the operator say that Zheng Geng called, but he hung up when he heard that you were still in training."

Han Jingchen paused in wiping his sweat and frowned, "Zheng Geng?"

Doesn't Zheng Geng live in the countryside now? How can I make a phone call?

He just sent the package to Zheng Geng's hometown a few days ago, and mentioned the house matter in the letter. Zheng Geng probably hasn't received it yet, right?

Jiang Ye nodded: "Yes, Brother Chen, I just wanted to ask you, is Zheng Geng going back to Nanjing? Have you informed Zheng Geng that the house has been replaced by someone else?"

Han Jingchen's expression changed immediately, he threw the fur to the ground and ran out quickly: "I'm going to ask for leave."

"Hey, Chen..." Before Jiang Ye could say anything, he saw Han Jingchen rushing over like a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
