After celebrating for a while, Pei Yuezhi thought of something: "Here, people usually eat breakfast before leaving home and go home for dinner. Why don't we just do lunch? That way we'll have more time to rest. Later, when we go to a place with a good location, we can talk about doing full-day shifts."
"I think that's fine too."
"What do you think we should do tomorrow? Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Pei Yuezhi asked Liu Yuanyuan.
Liu Yuanyuan has a lot of ideas about what to eat.
Liu Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stewed pork ribs with green beans, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried cabbage—can I make these tomorrow?"
Pei Yuezhi thought about it for a moment, thought it was a very good idea, and agreed.
Today is the first day of business. Although it was a bit hectic, thankfully we had the help of Liu Yuanyuan and Grandma Liu.
After opening the shop, the speed at which I made money doubled. I earned one or two taels of silver a day. If I become more skilled and upgrade to a restaurant where you can order food, I will definitely earn even more.
But Pei Yuezhi was not in a hurry at all. This was just the beginning, and everything would get better and better.
Today's task is to prepare everything needed for tomorrow. For stir-fried pork with chili peppers, Pei Yuezhi bought some screw peppers. Vegetables are only one yuan per jin (500g) on the special offer website right now, which is very cheap. Otherwise, these chili peppers would normally cost one yuan more.
There are even turnips! I never imagined that such a fictional world could have so many things.
There are still 28 or 29 jin of pork belly in the room. Many dishes use pork belly, so I still need to buy some more to keep on hand.
"System, I'll buy another 50 jin of pork belly and 50 jin of spare ribs."
After finishing her shopping spree, Pei Yuezhi began preparing the things she would need for tomorrow.
Pei Yue chopped the ribs into evenly sized pieces, then blanched them. She also sliced the pork belly and set it aside. She shredded the potatoes. Liu Yuanyuan was responsible for picking the green beans, cutting the bell peppers into chunks, and breaking the cabbage into larger pieces.
The three children carried small stools and sat in the yard peeling garlic and onions.
With these preparations done, you won't have to worry about being overwhelmed tomorrow.
"Ding, task triggered: Improve living conditions at home. Task reward: 100 jin of grain (any type of grain can be specified)."
"System, why do I feel like you're getting stingier and stingier?" Pei Yuezhi complained, looking at the rewards.
Previous rewards were at least 50% off cards, but this time they only gave food packs. However, if you exchange them for refined rice and flour, it's still a lot of money. With the in-game store as a cheat code, the later rewards seem a bit inferior.
But having something is better than having nothing.
Now that the price of refined grains has gone up, refined rice and white flour are now 20 coins per pound, while in the system store they are 10 coins per pound. I haven't had a bowl of fragrant white rice in a long time.
I'd really be reluctant to buy it, but I might as well take advantage of the system's freebies.
"But what do you mean by improving living conditions?" Pei Yuezhi was a little confused about what this new task meant.
The system patiently replied: "For example, if you don't have a pot at home, you can buy a new one."
“I understand. My chopsticks are a bit old. I’ll open the store and get a new pair,” Pei Yuezhi said confidently.
"No, you won't get a reward for submitting a task so perfunctorily."
"Okay, okay."
Pei Yuezhi suddenly remembered something. When Fan Mu's pants were torn, she was thinking about buying clothes for her family. So many days have passed.
I've also increased my savings, so it's time to put these clothes on the agenda.
Pei Yuezhi's original body had made all the clothes for the family members, so she had all the necessary measuring tools. While the children were asleep, she measured their current clothes and knew their approximate sizes.
The ready-made clothes in the mall, especially those made of coarser material, cost eighty coins a set. Most of them are gray, and I really don't like them. After all, I'm in my twenties, which is a time when I care about my appearance.
Pei Yuezhi used her mind to browse the goods and suddenly saw a few sets that looked good. The materials looked nice and the styles were also nice, but the prices were a bit high, two hundred coins a set, and the children's set was one hundred and twenty coins a set.
These clothes aren't cheap; if everyone were to change into a new one, it would cost a lot of money. But then Pei Yuezhi thought of something else.
It's a pity that Yuanyuan can't see her own online store; she can only choose based on the styles she usually likes.
I'd like to buy a few sets, but I don't know what other people's sizes are.
Just as Pei Yuezhi was about to go to Liu Yuanyuan's room to measure her clothes, the system suddenly spoke up: "Host, you can pay one coin to get the size information."
? ? ?
"You have this function? You're spying on people's privacy!" Pei Yuezhi was shocked.
"The system can only see the height data of people that the host can see."
Pei Yuezhi was so shocked she couldn't speak, but this was so convenient, she said decisively, "I want to see the body measurements of Granny Liu, Liu Yuanyuan, Father Pei, and Pei Yunzhi."
After paying four coins, I could see the name clearly written next to the size option.
Pei Yuezhi chose two simple outfits for herself, and also picked out two for Liu Yuanyuan. Each of the three children had one for everyday wear, and each had one of better quality. Even Liu's grandmother, Pei's father, and Pei Yunzhi each had one of slightly better quality.
She chose a more presentable outfit for herself, a pretty green dress, and also picked out a pale yellow one for Liu Yuanyuan.
These fifteen sets of clothes, including several expensive ones, came to a total of five taels of silver. But Pei Yuezhi didn't stop there. She continued to select a few hairpins, but they were all made of wood. Silver and gold hairpins were considered currency and were not available in the mall.
"Host, your balance is insufficient for payment. Please be aware."
"Find me a few more pairs of shoes." Pei Yuezhi ignored everyone else and gave each person a pair of their usual shoes and a pair of nicer shoes to wear when going out.
"That's fine then, how much is it?" Pei Yuezhi looked around, but there was nothing else she wanted to buy.
The system paused for a moment: "Host, it's eight taels of silver in total..."
"Pay with a free card".
"..." The system silently deducted the free order card and packed the items into the space.
"Ding! The host's mission is complete. Reward is now being issued - 100 catties of grain (any type of grain can be specified)."
Pei Yuezhi took out the clothes and couldn't stop smiling. These clothes are really nice. New clothes are so good. The material is different from other clothes.
After taking a look, Pei Yuezhi sorted the clothes according to the number of people and prepared to distribute them to everyone tomorrow.
As for mine, I need to wear it tomorrow and put it by the bed!
The next morning, as is often the case with good news, Pei Yuezhi woke up and couldn't wait to put on her new clothes, take the clothes she had bought for Liu Yuanyuan, and go to her room.
"Yuanyuan, open the door! I've got a big treasure for you!"
"Coming, coming! I haven't finished getting dressed yet!" Liu Yuanyuan came to open the door, still wearing her outer coat.
