As it was getting late, the group took the rice and prepared to head back. However, just as Aunt Zhang turned to leave, she suddenly looked at Han Yiyi with embarrassment and said something.
"Well, Han girl, I'm so sorry. I was too excited this afternoon and only thought about picking mushrooms. I completely forgot about asking Da Niu to make bamboo chairs for you. But don't worry, I'll tell him when I get back that he shouldn't go picking mushrooms, but instead go cut some bamboo and we'll start making them tomorrow..."
Upon hearing this, Han Yiyi quickly smiled and spoke.
“It’s alright, Aunt Zhang, there’s no rush. The house isn’t finished yet, and even if you finish it, I won’t have anywhere to put it. Besides, the bamboo chairs and stools I want are different from the usual ones. Let’s finish the mushroom business in the next few days, and then I’ll tell him what kind I want, and it won’t be too late to weave them then…”
Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Aunt Zhang looked at the house next to her that had not yet been raised, and thought that it was indeed the case, so she smiled and agreed.
If it weren't for Han Yiyi's mushroom exchange, Da Niu and San Ni would have gone to town to sell bamboo pillows for a few more days, since every sale counts. But now that the mushroom exchange has happened, picking mushrooms is naturally more important.
With two little ones around, Han Yiyi couldn't immediately redeem her points. She had been busy until now, and the two little ones were hungry. Fortunately, she still had the chicken soup and scallion pancakes from lunch, so she simply heated them up.
Hearing the even breathing of the two little ones, Han Yiyi quietly got up and walked towards the mushrooms.
Looking at the extra 12,600 points in the system, Han Yiyi couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
The next morning, Han Yiyi went to the back mountain right after breakfast to tell Aunt Zhang and the others that chanterelle mushrooms and bamboo fungus were also good to eat. After Han Yiyi's repeated confirmation, Aunt Zhang and the others picked up the chanterelle mushrooms and bamboo fungus as well.
After Han Yi told them, she hurried down the mountain again because she still had to go to town. Tomorrow was the day of the roof-raising ceremony, and she needed to buy some ingredients. She couldn't use all the ingredients from the system, and besides, she also had to pretend to have sent the mushrooms to town.
Thinking of this, Han Yiyi suddenly wanted to buy an oxcart so that it would be more convenient for her to go to town. However, considering the amount of money in her pocket, Han Yiyi could only sigh deeply.
Thinking that I was only going to town to buy some groceries and there was nothing important to do, I decided to bring the two little ones with me.
Holding the two little ones' hands, just as I was about to walk out of the yard, I heard Shi Tou's soft, sweet voice.
"Mom, when can we eat sausage again, you know, that fragrant and soft sausage...?"
Upon hearing Shi Tou's words, Daya quickly corrected him.
"That's called grilled sausage, Mom, I want to eat it too. When will you make it again...?"
Listening to the two little ones' words, Han Yi couldn't help but think to herself that these two little ones had the potential to be foodies, since they had just finished breakfast not long ago. However, when the two little ones mentioned grilled sausages, Han Yi's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that it seemed she had the money to buy an oxcart.
Originally, Han Yiyi was planning to build a barbecue grill and sell sausages in town after the house was completed. Now that he urgently needed money, he thought he might be able to sell his sausage-making and barbecue recipes to Yunlai Restaurant.
However, to make barbecue, you first need a barbecue grill; you can't just fry it in an iron pan like you did when you made sausages for the two little ones. Thinking of this, Han Yiyi couldn't help but purse her lips, thinking to herself, "It seems that if I want to make money, I still have to invest first..."
The barbecue grill had to be made at a blacksmith's shop in town, so Han Yiyi promised to make sausages for the two little ones tomorrow. She then carried her big basket and went with the two little ones to Old Man Wei's house.
No one went to town these past two days, so Old Man Wei didn't drive his car out either. When he saw Han Yiyi coming over, he greeted her with a big smile.
When Han Yiyi arrived in town, she went straight to the blacksmith's shop. The blacksmith had no idea what a barbecue grill was, so Han Yiyi had to draw and gesture to make him understand what she wanted.
Because Han Yiyi was short of funds, he only had a small one made, no more than 15 centimeters wide and no more than 50 centimeters long. Since ironware was very expensive in this era, even this small thing cost Han Yiyi a full three taels of silver.
Han Yiyi originally wanted to use her points to redeem one in the system, since she now had more than 20,000 points. However, after searching around, even the simplest barbecue grills were too beautiful and simply not something that could be made in this era, so she had no choice but to give up.
The barbecue grill won't be ready until tomorrow. Since the roof beam of the house is being raised tomorrow and lunch needs to be cooked, she won't have time in the morning. So she made an appointment with the blacksmith to pick it up at the beginning of the afternoon tomorrow.
Han Yiyi wanted to make some steamed buns tomorrow. She absolutely couldn't make white flour steamed buns, so she went to the grain store and bought ten catties of black flour, thinking that living with white flour would not be too conspicuous.
The clerks at the grain shop all recognized Han Yiyi. Seeing that he was not only carrying a large basket on his back today, but also owed money to two children, they were about to give him another disdainful look. However, when they heard Han Yiyi say he wanted ten catties of dark flour, the half-disguised disdain immediately vanished, replaced by a smiling face as they went over to him.
Han Yiyi simply ignored them. After all, there are people like that in every era, and it's not worth wasting her precious time getting angry over such trivial matters.
After leaving the grain shop, Han Yiyi bought some tofu, fish, and meat as well, as her master was looking for a source for the fish and meat in the system.
The two little ones ran around and got tired. Seeing that it was almost noon, they led the two of them to the wonton shop by the roadside.
When Han Yiyi got home, it was already late noon. The two little ones were used to taking a nap and fell asleep in no time.
Seeing that the two little ones were fast asleep, he opened the Little Flower System again.
I exchanged two more fish and several pounds of meat for barbecue, and thinking about the barbecue I'd be making tomorrow, I also exchanged two large bags of barbecue seasoning.
For convenience, Han Yiyi specially redeemed the kind of barbecue gadget that said "With one ingredient in hand, I have the world at my fingertips".
It is said that only this one seasoning is used when barbecuing, and nothing else needs to be added. However, the ingredients in this barbecue seasoning are complicated, and many of them do not exist in this era.
Therefore, Han Yiyi did not intend to sell it along with the barbecue. Instead, she thought that Yunlai Restaurant could purchase goods from her in the future, which would provide her with a long-term and stable source of income.
This barbecue seasoning comes in two flavors: spicy and cumin.
Han Yiyi decisively chose cumin, not only because no one here eats chili peppers, but also because, in her opinion, no one can resist the taste of cumin.
