"Were the vegetables and millet delivered by this little girl yesterday?"
"Yes, sir."
"Keep whatever she gave us today."
"As long as my son likes to eat it, nothing else matters."
"Master, but we don't have much food left."
No one expected the famine to last for three years, and who knows how much longer it will last?
"Ask her if she can exchange it for silver?"
Master Liu also knows the value of grain, so he has to be careful with how he eats it now.
"Hmm, but this old servant doesn't think she might be willing."
"Old Liu, where do you think fresh corncobs come from at this time of year?"
Hearing this, Uncle Fu sighed, "I can't really say, but that little girl is capable, so it's not good to pry into it."
If we offend them, where will we find such good grain?
Master Liu nodded, deeply agreeing. He never underestimated anyone, which was why he lived so long.
Han Luoxue was unaware that someone was talking about her; the corn in the space cooked very quickly and was roasted even faster.
In just a short while, the rich aroma of corn filled the air.
The little one sniffed hard: "Sister Xue'er, it smells so good!"
"Can we eat now? Waaah, I'm starving!"
She could only smell the aroma; naturally, she couldn't eat it yet. After a while, Han Luoxue took out the corn, knocked off the charred leaves, and revealed the golden corn kernels.
The fragrance became even stronger, and when she raised her hand to take it off, she gasped as she was burned.
Han Yuchen calmly accepted it, passing it back and forth between his hands without batting an eye. This guy's skin is really thick.
"Break it off."
Han Yuchen did as instructed, breaking the piece open. Han Luoxue used chopsticks to stick the larger piece into the chopsticks and handed it to the little guy. She also stuck the smaller piece into the chopsticks and handed it to Han Yuchen.
Han Yuchen raised an eyebrow and first brought the corncob to Han Luoxue's lips.
"Ah, you..."
"Why don't you try it first?" Seeing his serious expression, Han Luoxue lowered her head and took a small bite.
Perhaps it was because of the space's products, but the corn on the cob was sweet and delicious, even better than anything she had ever eaten in the modern world.
"Is it tasty?"
Watching Han Luoxue eat delicately, Han Yuchen asked.
"It's delicious! Would you like to try some?"
Han Yuchen also took a bite, the spot... right where Han Luoxue had just taken a bite.
Couldn't this guy find another place? He really doesn't care about appearances at all.
Han Luoxue felt a burning sensation on her face and thought the kitchen was a bit too hot.
She picked up another one, stood up, and said, "I'll take it to Uncle Fu and the others."
Without waiting for Han Yuchen to speak, she hurriedly ran out, looking like she was fleeing in panic.
Watching Han Luoxue's flustered figure, Han Yuchen smiled and continued eating his corn.
I took a bite, and it was delicious.
Snowflakes always make delicious food. Han Yuchen suddenly felt a burning gaze, looked up, and met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the little guy's hand, only to find the stick completely bare. This little guy, really...
"Finished eating?"
The little guy nodded, staring intently at the stick in Han Yuchen's hand. He only ate two or three bites, but there was still a lot left.
"Want some?"
Seeing the little guy nod again, Han Yuchen put the stick to his mouth, took a big bite, and enthusiastically commented while eating, "It's so delicious."
The little guy was about to cry, his big eyes filled with tears as he watched Han Yuchen eat, bite by bite. Before long, only the bare corn cob remained.
"Wow..."
The little guy was so upset that he couldn't hold back his tears any longer and burst into tears.
Uncle Fu and Master Liu were enjoying their meal in the courtyard, and they both said it was the first time they had ever heard of corn being eaten this way.
They had missed out on such a delicious thing before.
Han Luoxue thought to herself, "It's only because the corn in my space is of good quality. Plus, there's not much good food around right now, so people are naturally easily satisfied."
The sudden crying coming from the kitchen startled them, and they rushed over, only to see...
...
The Liu family left behind one hundred ears of corn and gave them twenty taels of silver, which was an astronomical sum.
Han Luoxue also asked them for some other grains: wheat, rice, mung beans, and red beans.
There were also peanuts, red dates, and other things—it was a fairly complete selection. It's just a pity she didn't have much land in her space, so she couldn't grow much.
"You've really made something of yourself, why are you bullying a little kid?"
As soon as they stepped out of the Liu residence, Han Luoxue couldn't help but scold them.
"His half is already big, and he still wants to eat the half you gave him?"
Han Yuchen raised an eyebrow. Everything Han Luoxue gave him was a treasure; how could he possibly give it away?
"Okay, Brother Chen, I feel like you can be quite childish sometimes."
Competing with children for food doesn't fit Han Yuchen's usual aloof persona.
"Snowfall, where did these corn cobs come from? Can you tell me?"
After holding it in for a long time, Han Yuchen finally couldn't help but ask when no one was around.
"cannot."
She didn't want to talk about her personal space. However, she told Uncle Fu to ask if anyone in town needed corncobs, and she could provide them regularly.
Han Luoxue planned to keep half of the corn as a spare, since the space had a preservation function and it would always stay fresh!
"Um."
Han Yuchen didn't dwell on it. They strolled around the town for a while and eventually arrived at Butcher Liu's stall.
However, he's not here right now; he's probably busy at home.
Han Luoxue bought some seasonings, cloth, and other things. Now, apart from grains, the prices of other things are much cheaper than before.
