Chapter 119 Being Followed



Pinch off a piece of dough and stretch it out. The dough will form a relatively rough membrane, a bit rougher than the gluten membrane, but it won't affect the taste of the honey bread rolls at all.

Now it needs to be placed in a relatively warm place to ferment.

When the dough has fermented properly, it's ready if you pull it with your hand and the bottom shows a honeycomb-like structure.

Divide the dough evenly into twenty-four small portions, shape them into small dough balls by hand, and then roll them out into long strips shaped like ox tongues.

Then roll it up, roll it out into a long strip again, and roll it up again. This will make the bread more layered and taste better.

Cut the rolled dough in half lengthwise, and you'll have two small bread rolls.

Mix some honey water, prepare white sugar and white sesame seeds, and stir well.

First, dip the bottom of the small bread rolls in honey water, then dip them in white sugar and sesame seeds, and place them in a flat container.

Pei Yuezhi used the same frying pan she used to make pancakes, adding more oil to the pan to make the bottom of the small bread rolls crispier.

Stack the small bread rolls inside, placing them a little close together.

It needs to rest for another fifteen minutes.

Then it was time to start baking. This bread didn't need a very big fire, so there wasn't much firewood in the oven.

Bake in the oven for fifteen minutes, and brush with some honey water while still hot when they come out of the oven. The crispy honey bread rolls are ready.

Making bread takes quite a while, and in this time, Liang Zhenzhen has already made several dishes.

Pei Yuezhi planned to cook a few more dishes before dinner.

We took the bread over for everyone to try, and unsurprisingly, everyone gave it rave reviews.

"What kind of dessert is this? I've never seen it before." Liang Zhenzhen tried one and thought it was especially delicious.

It's fragrant and sweet, with a milky aroma, and the white sesame seeds add even more fragrance.

“This is called bread. I learned how to make it from someone else. Isn’t it delicious?” Pei Yuezhi said.

Everyone just couldn't stop eating. If they hadn't been stopped and told there would be more good food later, all forty-odd small bread rolls would probably have been eaten.

Pei Yuezhi then went to cook two more dishes, both quick ones, because everyone seemed hungry, so she hurried to do them.

To make braised green peppers, prepare some green peppers, wash them, and remove the stems.

Flatten the chili peppers with a knife, then cut them into small pieces.

Once you have some minced garlic, you can start stir-frying.

Without adding oil to the pan, first pour in the chili peppers and stir-fry them over high heat until softened, pressing them down as you stir.

After frying the chili peppers, just leave some black spots on the surface.

Drizzle a spoonful of oil over the ingredients, stir-fry evenly, then add two spoonfuls of soybean paste, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and the chopped garlic.

After quickly stir-frying evenly, add a little water and simmer for one minute to let it absorb the flavors better, then it's ready to serve.

Although it may not look particularly appealing, it's an absolute accompaniment to rice and tastes exceptionally delicious.

I also made a cucumber salad and got ready to eat.

The family sat together, chatting and enjoying a delicious and plentiful dinner, making it a fulfilling and restful day.

In the north, the weather starts to get colder quickly once autumn arrives, and it's been raining recently.

As the saying goes, "One autumn rain brings one chill," and the weather is getting colder and colder. In the morning, there is a layer of ice on the ground.

Luckily, I bought cotton clothes and cotton shoes in advance. Now that conditions are so good, I can finally have a proper winter.

While her family was at the shop, Pei Yuezhi said she wasn't feeling well and would go home to rest.

Actually, we're planning to stock up on some charcoal. How can we survive the dead of winter without it?

Besides, this place is so far north, why doesn't anyone have a kang (heated brick bed) here?

In winter, without a heated brick bed, we can only set up several stoves and stockpile more charcoal.

Pei Yuezhi pushed a full load of charcoal into the woodshed and prepared a lot of firewood, but there was no room left in the woodshed, so she neatly stacked it in a corner.

After finishing all that, Pei Yuezhi was exhausted and didn't want to cook, so she prepared to go to the shop.

It was lunchtime when they were having their staff meal, so I went over to freeload.

Without hesitation, Pei Yuezhi freshened up a bit, changed her clothes, and prepared to go to the shop.

Although my home isn't far from the shop, it's still quite a distance. After all, the shop is located in a relatively central area, while the house I rent is in a rather remote location.

Pei Yuezhi walked for a while after leaving the house, and then she felt as if someone was following her.

She turned her head slightly and saw two men. When she walked fast, the two behind her walked faster; when she walked slowly, they walked slower.

It's pretty much confirmed that these two people were following me.

Who could it be?

I don't have any enemies, and I get along well with my customers without any conflicts, except for Baiweiju.

Baiweiju...

If there are no other possibilities, then these two people are most likely sent by the Hundred Ranks. If it really is them, then they definitely have ill intentions.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuezhi quickly turned into the street corner. She had no martial arts skills and no self-defense techniques.

All we can do is hide and not let them succeed.

So when Pei Yuezhi entered the street corner and saw that no one was around, she immediately slipped into her spatial dimension.

A system house has the function of connecting to the outside world.

This connection to the outside doesn't mean you can communicate with the outside world, but rather that you can hear any sounds coming from outside in the space.

For example, if someone knocks on the door while you are in a room, you can hear them inside the space.

This is to prevent the situation where someone enters the space and comes in from outside, making it difficult to get out in time.

At this moment, Pei Yuezhi appeared to have turned into the street corner, but in reality, she had already entered the space.

But the two of them, completely unaware, followed him inside.

Pei Yuezhi, inside the space, was listening to their movements.

Tracker A: "Brother, what happened to that guy?"

Stalker B: "You're asking me? How am I supposed to know?"

Follower A: "Did she go to someone's house? Shall we wait here?"

Follower B: "What do we do? What if she comes out with someone else? Should we go after her or not?"

Follower A: "What should we do? The shopkeeper said we must bring her back."

“I told you you’re stupid, but you wouldn’t listen. Let’s wait a few more days. Didn’t we discover before that she would go to the store to stock up on goods before opening?”

Tracker B tapped Tracker A on the head and said.

"Big brother, you're so smart. Let's go back first and come back this afternoon."

The two hit it off immediately and turned to go back.

Inside the space, Pei Yuezhi watched the external scene reflected on the television screen, as if she were watching a surveillance camera.

After watching the two people walk away and seeing that there was no one else nearby, he finally came out of the space.

He thought to himself, "It really is Baiweiju. I wonder what they want to do with me. But I know without even thinking that it's about the shop."
