My cousin's wife didn't mind and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing. Your nephew was praised by the teacher and said he wanted to eat meat, but I didn't want to cook it for him. I thought since you run a restaurant, you should be able to get some, so I came to buy some. But we didn't expect we were out of stock. It's good that we didn't give him any. He's already as fat as a small water tank."
"This child has behaved well and deserves a reward. Shall I get you something?"
"Hey, don't do that. I was just trying to make things convenient for you and support your business. I'm not here to cause trouble. Don't do anything, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, my cousin's wife ran out without another word.
"What's wrong, Yueyue? Who's here?" Liu Yuanyuan came out to see what was going on when she heard the voice.
Pei Yuezhi replied, "My cousin-in-law came over for dinner, but left as soon as she saw the door was closed. Are you done cleaning up?"
Liu Yuanyuan said wearily, "Yes, we're done cleaning up. Let's go back and rest for a while, maybe take a nap."
After closing the shop door, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan took Fan Mu home for an afternoon nap, while Grandma Liu also took a car back to the village.
The past two days have been exceptionally hot and humid, making me feel lethargic. Coupled with the fatigue from work, I slept for a long time, only to wake up because of the heat.
Pei Yuezhi groggily opened her eyes. She was thirsty after waking up, and the hot and humid weather made her especially crave some cool and refreshing fruit, like a big watermelon.
The more I thought about it, the craving became, so I opened the online store and bought a big watermelon. Although there were no refrigerators in ancient times, wells were the perfect place to chill watermelons.
Wash the watermelon rind and throw it directly into the well.
With a "thump," Liu Yuanyuan, who had just woken up, was startled: "Yuanyuan, what are you doing? Thump!"
When Pei Yuezhi saw her come out, she pulled her to the well and pointed to the watermelons floating in it, saying, "Look, I bought watermelons, let's put them in here to chill them."
"Wow! A giant watermelon! Oh my god, I've transmigrated here and I can still eat watermelon so easily. I'm inexplicably a little touched." Liu Yuanyuan exaggeratedly wiped away her tears.
Pei Yuezhi teased her so much that she gave her a couple of slaps.
I go to the store around this time every day. Today is the first day of school for the children, so I have to pick them up.
After calculating the time, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan, along with Fan Mu, set off to pick up the two children.
There were already several parents at the school gate, so it seems there are quite a few day students. Those who can attend school in town are probably all residents of the area.
The gate opened, and several students came out. Fan Chao and Li Nian'an were spotted at first glance. There was no way around it; they were so handsome at such a young age, it was truly rare.
"Mom, Aunt Liu."
"Mom, Aunt Pei."
The two boys, quite in sync, came over at the same time to greet each other.
"How was school today? Are you adjusting well?" Pei Yuezhi asked, patting Fan Chao's head.
Fan Chao nodded: "Mother, we've adapted to everything. Nian'an and I both know a lot of basic characters and have read a few books, so we can understand what the teacher is saying."
“Yes, Aunt Pei, there are several students in the class who don’t know as many characters as we do, so you can rest assured,” Li Nian’an added from the side.
Liu Yuanyuan was delighted to hear this and put her arms around one of the children, saying, "My judgment is always the best. I told you two were smart."
This was the first time Fan Mu hadn't spent a whole day with her brother, and she was starting to miss him. As soon as she came out of Fan Chao's house, she took his hand, and when she heard this, she smiled broadly and said, "Brother and Nian'an are both the best!"
Pei Yuezhi walked behind, watching the four of them chatting and laughing in front of her, and smiled in relief.
It was getting late, so Pei Yuezhi went straight back to the shop and told Liu Yuanyuan to take the child home to wash their face, eat the leftovers from lunch, and then come back to the shop.
Once inside the shop, Pei Yuezhi began to consider what to eat the next day.
A few more guests arrived at this time, but there was still some rice left over from lunch, and the dough that had been kneaded in the space was gone.
These customers said they wanted to eat some fried noodles, but unfortunately only fried rice was available. However, the fried rice tasted quite good, so a few people ordered it. Some people didn't eat it when they heard that there were no fried noodles.
"Hey sis, you ran out of vegetables the other day, so you made some braised noodles, right? One of my buddies ate it and said it was delicious. A bowl of cold noodles on a hot day like this is so satisfying. I was thinking of making it next time I come back, but I didn't." a man asked.
Pei Yuezhi replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Mainly because there were more people eating boxed lunches, we increased the amount of vegetables later. It felt like enough, so we didn't make noodles. I guess you could say I was being lazy, haha."
The person next to him chimed in, "I didn't get any food that day, but I ate noodles too. Your noodles are delicious, ma'am. Why don't you make some noodles sometime?"
"Yes, I've been eating fried noodles here for two days now. I love noodles back home, so I'll have some noodles to eat another day."
Surprisingly, all the guests in the room wanted to eat noodles. Pei Yuezhi thought about it for a moment and had an idea.
"Hey guys, how about we switch our boxed lunches to our own braised noodles tomorrow at noon? I'll get a lot of braised sauce and then we'll eat noodles."
Several guests agreed wholeheartedly after hearing this.
"Great! That's fantastic!"
"I agree! I'd like to order a braised dish with meat."
"Then I'll have to come early tomorrow; I've never had noodles like this before."
I hadn't started preparing the ingredients yet, and I hadn't really decided what to make tomorrow, but these guys gave me some inspiration. I'll make braised noodles with a voluntary selection tomorrow.
After entertaining the guests, Pei Yuezhi returned to the kitchen and said to Liu Yuanyuan, who was watching the children read, "Yuanyuan, I've taken the suggestions of several guests into account and will make a self-service braised noodle dish tomorrow."
"Sure! I love it! What kind of sauce do you want to make? I'll prepare the ingredients for you."
After the guests left, the front hall was empty. Pei Yuezhi sent the three children to the front to read books and reserve space in the kitchen. After reading, they peeled garlic and scallions.
The three of them obediently went over, saying they were just taking up space, but actually they were going to retrieve something from their spatial storage.
The three who were kicked out thought their mother was worried about disturbing their studies and were even touched.
Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan discussed for a while and decided on the number of braised dishes to make tomorrow.
Braised mushrooms with meat, braised green beans with meat, braised green peppers with eggs, and braised eggplant.
This isn't the first time I've felt this way; fictional worlds are truly wonderful. Although these ingredients existed in ancient times, they can still be bought anywhere in town, which is very convenient.
Making braised noodles is simple in terms of preparation, but the difficult part is preparing the ingredients.
How long will it take to roll out this dough? And the minced meat in the broth, it's exhausting!
The two of them started working hard, as if they had returned to the time when they were making pancakes.
Immersed in the frenzy of kneading dough and chopping meat.
By the time everything was done, the three children were almost asleep.
