Fan Chao ate with great relish, rice grains even getting on his face, but he was completely unaware of it.
Not to mention Fan Mu, who already has a small face and small mouth, her face was covered in rice grains and egg sauce, and her brother had to wipe her face while he ate.
Pei Yuezhi, unusually, ignored their feedback and focused intently on eating the large rice bag in her hand.
Fan Chao and Fan Mu put down their lunch bags at almost the same time, placing their hands on the cabbage leaves simultaneously.
"What's wrong? You've only eaten a few bites and you're already taking leaves?" Liu Yuanyuan asked, puzzled.
"I want to help Nian'an with a bag."
"I wrapped it for Nian'an."
The two siblings were surprisingly in sync; they spoke at the same time, glanced at each other, and then simultaneously withdrew their hands.
Seeing the three children having so much fun, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan were very happy and stopped caring about how much they were wrapping the food, continuing to be completely absorbed in making rice rolls.
............
After finishing tidying up, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan rested for a while before getting back to work.
Grandma Liu knew they would be preparing dinner again that evening, so she arrived right on time.
The three of them were busy in the kitchen. They planned to make more meat pies tomorrow, so they prepared seven pounds of flour today. Following the same specifications as yesterday, they made 112 pies. Although it was double the amount, they believed they could definitely sell them.
Liu Yuanyuan was in charge of mixing the dough. Although there was a lot of dough, it was not too strenuous because it was mixed for a while and then allowed to rest for a while.
The three children insisted on helping, so Liu Yuanyuan gave each of them some noodles.
Pei Yuezhi prepared the water and flour ratios perfectly, and the three small ones worked with the same intensity as in a competition.
The five and a half catties of meat were also divided into two portions, and Pei Yuezhi and Granny Liu chopped the meat into minced meat.
Everyone chatted while working, and they would occasionally be amused by something the children said, so they worked quite quickly.
I didn't prepare steamed dumplings this time. I'll see if many people want them tomorrow. It'll be a good time to take a break. Otherwise, it's too much trouble to make two kinds of things every time.
As it grew later and later, and with all the materials prepared, the children began to feel sleepy. Grandma Liu took Li Nian'an back first, and the two Fan family children also washed up and went to their rooms to sleep.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Pei Yuezhi expectantly, but felt a little uneasy under her gaze.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hehe, Yueyue, now there's no one else, just the two of us. Look at us..."
Seeing Liu Yuanyuan approaching with ill intent, Pei Yuezhi pushed her face away and said disdainfully, "What are you doing? Talk to me properly."
Unperturbed by being pushed away, she instead took Pei Yuezhi's arm and said, "Oh dear, I'm hungry~"
"If you're hungry, just say so. Why are you sneaking around like this?" Pei Yuezhi pinched her cheek hard.
"What do you want to eat today? I'll make you some fried rice?" Pei Yuezhi asked.
Liu Yuanyuan was already prepared and answered decisively, "Luosifen (river snail rice noodles)!"
"Then I'll eat it too."
Glug glug, watching the snail rice noodles in the pot that were about to be cooked, Liu Yuanyuan happily fried an egg.
"Mom, Aunt Liu, aren't you resting yet? I smell something bad." Fan Chao stood sleepily at the kitchen door.
Oh no, the kitchen is close to the child's room. Looks like he wasn't sound asleep yet; he came out as soon as he smelled the odor.
Liu Yuanyuan slammed the pot lid on, while Pei Yuezhi's brain raced.
"Does it...smell bad?" Pei Yue glanced at Benben lying by the stove. "It's Benben! This little stinky dog pooped in the kitchen. I'll scold it now. Son, you go to sleep."
The dazed Fan Chao believed him after hearing this and even told the two of them to go to sleep early.
After Fan Chao returned to his room, the two quickly closed the kitchen door.
"Oh dear, I forgot to close the door."
"I didn't expect the child to still be awake. It's alright now, eat quickly."
The two sisters were eating noodles late at night, chatting about how their savings had finally exceeded one or two taels of silver. Suddenly, Pei Yuezhi was startled.
This system is usually silent, so its sudden chatter startled me.
"Ding, quest triggered - increase savings to five taels of silver, reward: permanent seasoning gift pack."
"What did you say! The system's new task allows you to earn five taels of silver?! Is it crazy or am I crazy? Our family only has one tael, and that's with my original owner's savings."
Pei Yuezhi was also helpless. There was nothing in the family, so she earned very little at the beginning. Now she had meat and flour, but she was only making basic staple foods. She really didn't know where to start saving money.
Liu Yuanyuan remained in shock...
The next morning, having already gotten up early for five or six days in a row, Pei Yuezhi was used to waking up early. Moreover, there were not many entertainment options in ancient times, and she had someone to help her with her work every night, so she went to bed quite early.
When Pei Yuezhi arrived at the kitchen, she quickly took the minced meat out of her spatial storage and placed the dough on the kitchen floor, where it was cooler and would help it rise better.
Just as I took these out, Liu Yuanyuan and her mother-in-law arrived. Yesterday, they worked together very well to make pancakes, and today they made them even faster and better.
After the meat pies were cooked, the porridge that Liu Yuanyuan had cooked cooled down a bit. She took twelve meat pies and everyone gathered together to eat breakfast.
Grandma Liu kept saying she didn't like the pancakes; then she said she wasn't feeling well; then she said she had something to do. Pei Yuezhi could tell she didn't want to stay for dinner, so she gave the two children a wink.
After Fan Chao and Fan Mu persuaded him, he finally stayed for dinner.
Pei Yuezhi knew that Granny Liu had been helping out a lot these past two days. She even took care of the children during the day. Children get hungry quickly. Adults don't get hungry easily if they don't eat lunch, but children get hungry easily, so Granny Liu would make them food.
Pei Yuezhi remembered all the kindness shown to her.
After eating twelve pancakes, they had exactly one hundred left. Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan each carried a basket on their backs and set off.
Although there was nothing in the basket.
The system seems very generous so far, and the rewards for this task are quite useful, so I have to put in the effort.
The stalls here, apart from those with tables which are relatively fixed, are not very fixed for vendors like her who come and go as they please.
Fortunately, on her first day, she met Grandpa Zhao, who sells candied hawthorns. Grandpa Zhao was very helpful. He lived in town and arrived early, so he helped Pei Yuezhi watch the stall.
In addition, a bunch of guests would gather around the place before Pei Yuezhi even arrived, waiting for her.
Although we didn't make steamed dumplings, everyone was drawn to the meat patties, and only one or two people asked about dumplings. I was worried that no one would want them, but now I'm not worried anymore.
Today, we sold a hundred pancakes without any effort.
Even after it sold out, many people still wanted more and kept urging us to make more the next day.
Liu Yuanyuan readily agreed. When she came the next day, she was already quite adept at it, chatting fluently with the customers. She was clearly born to be a salesperson.
