"Yes, yes, let's buy a few more. Let me check these people's figures first. I feel like the kids have all grown taller, and my dad has gained a little weight too."
As she spoke, Pei Yuezhi found the system, bought the body data of several people, and prepared to go shopping.
"By the way," Pei Yuezhi checked the balance, turned to Liu Yuanyuan and said, "We earned more than 240 taels this month. Adding the previous 500 taels and the money we spent this month, we have a total of more than 700 taels."
Upon hearing this number, Liu Yuanyuan was overjoyed: "Wow, that's a lot! I felt like we were spending money extravagantly, I never imagined there would be so much."
Pei Yuezhi began to calculate the profits for her: "Look, we can earn three to four hundred coins by selling boxed lunches and individual items at noon. Not to mention dinner, we basically have private rooms every day, and it's around five taels."
"That's more than eight taels a day, sometimes even nine taels, which adds up to more than two hundred and forty taels a month. After deducting the cost of raw materials, everything is available in the special offer mall, so it's very cheap."
"After deducting our rent, daily expenses, and wages, we barely make a net profit of two hundred taels, but that's a rough estimate, so we actually have over seven hundred now!"
As Liu Yuanyuan listened to what she was saying, she didn't care about the purpose or the expenses; she just heard a string of "more than seven hundred."
"Great! Who would have thought you started with 500 coins? Would you call this a mindless wish-fulfillment novel?"
Pei Yuezhi was amused by her: "It really is true. With our amazing ability, plus the fact that we can secretly buy groceries without ever being caught, how can it not be mindlessly awesome?"
"Alright, alright, you're such a great female lead in this novel, hurry up and take me shopping for clothes! I haven't had any new clothes to wear in ages." Liu Yuanyuan grabbed Pei Yuezhi's arm and pulled her toward the clothes.
Looking at these beautiful clothes in front of me, especially the expensive ones, I can't wear them out yet, because there's no guarantee that someone won't have ulterior motives. But I can still buy them. I can hold off on wearing them for now and then wear some mid- to high-end clothes.
In Liu Yuanyuan's words: "You're a restaurant owner now, what's wrong with dressing nicely!"
The two of them used to be too afraid to look at the expensive sections, but now they stroll around them with ease.
Finally, we went on a shopping spree. All three children are growing, and Liang Zhenzhen is still young, so we figured she could still grow. We bought three sets of clothes for each of them, plus three pairs of shoes.
Grandma Liu and Father Pei each had five sets of clothes and shoes.
Pei Yunzhi bought more. Pei Yuezhi thought that her younger brother was really handsome, with fair skin, long eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, a straight nose and thin lips.
His physique is also top-notch. Despite eating a lot, he doesn't gain weight; instead, he has muscles and is tall and handsome.
His speech and demeanor were full of confidence and composure; that kid was really handsome.
As Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan picked out clothes, they imagined how Pei Yunzhi would look in them, as if the gentle and refined male protagonist from an ancient romance novel had come to life.
"Yuanyuan, isn't that enough? You've picked out six items already."
Liu Yuanyuan was still looking at winter coats, holding a cotton cloak in her hand: "Yueyue, he would look absolutely stunning in this, let's buy one, let's buy one."
"This really looks good, let's take it. Let's see what we're wearing. We've been in here for about half an hour, so hurry up and look before they kick us out."
Finally, it was the two's turn to shop. They tried on all the nice clothes. Luckily, the system store only had a wide variety of items, not every style. Otherwise, the two would have been exhausted from trying on clothes.
In the end, each of them bought eight items.
"This is going to really fleece the system. Hehehehe." Liu Yuanyuan flashed her signature villainous smile again.
This way, the two of them can choose clothes together, which is much better than Pei Yuezhi researching on her own.
With a little time left, Pei Yuezhi and her companion selected a bunch of accessories.
Take whatever looks nice, whether it's gold, silver, or jade; keep the ones you can't wear for now.
The shopping spree ended when the two were thrown out of the mall.
"Oh dear, this has exhausted me. Yueyue, we can really shop!" Liu Yuanyuan stretched.
Pei Yuezhi was teleported out and could only pay in the mind shop. Looking at the items worth several hundred taels, she directly used the free shopping card and felt very happy.
"I'm so happy! Oh right, we haven't used our kiln yet. I completely forgot about it. Everyone else has been drying it for days." Pei Yuezhi suddenly remembered the kiln in the yard.
"What should I grill tonight?" Pei Yuezhi flipped through her spatial storage to see what ingredients she had.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuanyuan danced with joy, exclaiming, "Yay! That's great!"
Pei Yuezhi bought lamb legs at the mall. Although Granny Liu wasn't there, these people could eat a lot, so she decided to buy more. Although the child definitely couldn't finish one, she could eat the rest herself, so she bought ten.
As for the other side dishes, just let Liang Zhenzhen take a look and prepare them.
Soak the lamb shanks in cold water to remove the blood.
Pei Yuezhi is making a dish that's first braised and then roasted, so she needs to prepare a spice packet.
Place star anise, cinnamon, galangal, cardamom, bay leaves, nutmeg, ginger, angelica, cloves, white cardamom, black cardamom, and fennel seeds into a gauze bag.
Put the lamb leg in a pot, add some scallions, ginger, sugar, chicken bouillon, MSG, white pepper powder, a little wine, soy sauce, and then add water to cover the lamb leg.
Put the spice packet inside, then cover and braise for an hour.
While waiting, Pei Yuezhi started to light the stove. When the wood was burning red-hot, it began to carbonize.
The lamb leg is ready, and it's already smelling delicious.
"Yuanyuan, I feel like we can eat it now, it smells so good!" Liu Yuanyuan looked longingly at the lamb leg in the pot.
Pei Yuezhi scooped out all the lamb legs, rubbed each one with oil, and laughed at the sight of her greedy expression.
"What should we do then? Shall I tear off a piece for you?"
Liu Yuanyuan shook her head repeatedly: "No need, I'll eat later, I'm waiting for the grilled food!"
"Then go wash the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and husk a few ears of corn," Pei Yuezhi assigned her the task.
"Okay." Liu Yuanyuan went over eagerly, squatted down and started washing.
Just as Pei Yuezhi was about to start roasting the lamb leg, Liu Yuanyuan had finished washing everything.
Put the lamb leg into the oven, then throw in potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. These things are roasted to perfection.
Roast for another twenty minutes, until the lamb leg is sizzling and dripping with oil, then it's ready.
The corn needs to be taken out halfway through cooking, otherwise it will burn.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes are quite large, so it's okay to take them out a little later.
After telling Liang Zhenzhen what to eat today, she made a tiger salad, a plate of peanuts with vinegar, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and tofu with scallions.
Pei Yunzhi came back for dinner today, it seems that the Qiao family's affairs are temporarily settled.
Once everything is cooked, we can start eating.
