Chapter 42 Picking Flowers shuhaige.net



After finishing her meal, Yan Xia quickly washed up and went back to her room.

Actually, she doesn't know how to bake pastries.

To be precise, she only knows how to make modern trendy desserts. I remember when I was still in school, Yan Xia used the New Year's money given to her by her grandmother to buy a second-hand oven in order to please her mother. On her mother's birthday, she baked a cake by hand.

However, instead of receiving praise, she was scolded for wasting money.

The oven was also smashed to pieces.

After escaping from her home, Yan Xia's first job was as a bakery apprentice.

She worked for over a month and learned how to make some simple desserts.

However, the apprentice's salary was too low, only 1200 a month.

She simply cannot survive.

He had no choice but to give up and instead found a job that paid 3500, which he worked at until before he time-traveled.

She didn't know how to make any of those complicated Chinese pastries.

But she has a system shop.

With 100 points, you're sure you can buy it?

When Yan Xia went to look at the shop, she searched her mind and found a book that taught people how to make desserts. It cost 100 points, which gave her the confidence to buy the shop.

Yan Xia opened the panel and carefully searched for the book.

I finally found it in a corner of the mall.

This book is a full ten centimeters thick.

It contains countless dessert recipes, each with detailed instructions and even lists alternatives.

For example, if you don't have condensed milk, you can add white sugar to whole milk, simmer it over low heat, and then add a spoonful of butter.

If honey is unavailable, use syrup instead.

It just made up for the lack of ingredients.

It even explains clearly how to extract butter.

Three candles were lit in the room.

By the time Yan Xia had read most of the book, the candle had only burned halfway down.

It was getting late, so Yan Xia tossed the book into her spatial storage, blew out the candle, and went to sleep.

She has decided to go to the mountain to pick fresh flowers tomorrow.

Make flower cakes!

Baihua Village has little in abundance except for its flowers; they truly bloom all over the mountains and fields, each one unique.

Moreover, she didn't have all the ingredients needed for other pastries, such as milk, butter, or even heavy cream and starch.

Soon, Yan Xia fell asleep.

However, Cui Siniu, who was covered in stench, had just arrived home.

"You filthy woman, where have you been? Were you out cheating on me with another man?"

As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard cursing coming from the yard.

He is Luo Jingui, Cui Siniu's man.

He opened the door.

He was just about to raise his hand to slap Cui Siniu.

As a result, the stench made them retreat several meters.

"You fucking went to steal manure? How come you're covered in shit and piss? It stinks to death."

Luo Jingui covered his mouth and nose, looking extremely disgusted.

Cui Siniu's legs were trembling from exhaustion.

It was too dark and she got lost, which led her to wander around for a long time before finally getting home.

"Honey, let me go home first. I need to take a shower. We'll talk after I'm done."

However, Luo Jingui wouldn't let her in at all.

With a 'bang,' he slammed the door shut.

It almost hit Cui Siniu's nose.

"Go wash yourself clean by the river before you come back, you stinking filth!"

After saying that, he threw a set of clothes out from over the courtyard wall.

With no other option, Cui Si Niu picked up her clothes from the ground and went to the river to take a bath in the dark.

Only then was he able to go home.

"Tell me, what happened? Did you go to steal a person or steal manure?"

Luo Jingui's expression was unfriendly.

A pair of triangular eyes glared fiercely at her.

"In your mouth, I can't escape the word 'stealer,' can you believe how hard it is for me? You dump all the work in the fields on our sons, and none of them have the money to get married. As for me, I'm shamelessly going to Xiaohua to borrow grain all day long. I'm so ashamed! Look at me and Xiaohua, we both married into Baihua Village, how come she gets to enjoy life while I'm suffering so much?"

Cui Siniu had been living in fear all night, and when she got home she thought she could confide in her husband, but she didn't even get in the door.

Feeling rejected like this, her nose tingled and tears streamed down her face.

"Cry, cry, cry! I'm not even dead yet! All you do is cry all day long. You've ruined my good days with your crying. You don't come home late at night and you still have the nerve to complain? Tell me, where have you been gallivanting off to? Have I wronged you? Huh? Are you eyeing that Chen Shoujia? What, you think my Luo family is poor? Well, I'll divorce you tomorrow!"

Luo Jingui revealed his vicious nature, as if he would beat Cui Siniu up at any moment.

"Your wife got beaten up, and you didn't even help her? Are you even a man? Why did I only come back now? Yan Xia kicked me into a latrine, and I walked all the way back on my own two legs! Waaah, and you still have to scold me! Who did I go to town for? I just wanted to sell some mushrooms to buy you some wine! Are you even a man? If you're a man, go get revenge! Beat that little bitch to death!"

Cui Siniu burst into tears.

She woke up her three sleeping sons.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Dad, did you hit Mom again?"

"Don't cry, Mother. I'm so sleepy. I've been working in the fields all day. Let your son get some sleep. I don't even have a wife to begin with, and now they won't even let me sleep. How can I live like this?"

The three people, each with a different expression, stood at the doorway watching the couple.

Cui Siniu gave birth to three sons. The eldest son, Luo Wan, is twenty years old and unmarried. The second son, Luo Qian, is eighteen years old and unmarried. The third son, Luo Bai, is sixteen years old and also a bachelor.

Luo Jingui's parents died many years ago.

Therefore, the Luo family was dominated by males and weak by females.

There was no other woman besides Cui Siniu.

"What good are you three brats? Your mother's been beaten up, and you still want to sleep? You're a bunch of ingrates! Just like your father! Ouch—"

As Cui Siniu was speaking, Luo Jingui slapped her hard twice.

Her cheeks swelled up instantly.

"Where am I supposed to get revenge for you in the middle of the night? You're always causing trouble, you've even woken up the kids. Can't you take it anymore? If not, get out of here. I'm going to sleep."

Luo Jingui was too lazy to help her get revenge.

Yan Xia, this widow, is famously beautiful.

Even after being tormented by that old woman from the Chen family for many years, her appearance still couldn't be concealed.

Luo Jingui had been thinking about this for a long time.

How could I possibly offend my wife for the sake of this haggard woman at home?

After being beaten, Cui Siniu went back to her room sobbing.

Her three eldest sons remained unmoved.

He finally calmed down when he saw his mother.

They all went back to their rooms to sleep.

This clearly shows that the children from the two families are worlds apart.

The sun and moon alternate.

The sun quietly climbed over the mountaintop.

Early in the morning, Yan Xia called her five children and they went to Aishan together.

She had seen many roses in the low hills before, including double-petaled roses, which are edible roses, as well as pink roses that are dried and used to make tea, and pale blue roses that are not edible but are very ornamental.

This pale blue rose has countless intertwined black threads; consuming it will cause poisoning, just like poisonous mushrooms, and will cause hallucinations.

However, she had never seen it in modern times; it must be unique to this era.
