Xie Yan was overjoyed at the thought of Gu Bin's ridiculous reaction to the sourness.
Yu Yue was amazed that Xie Yan had resolved such a small "crisis" so easily. She couldn't help but think how amazing her man was.
She quickly peeled another orange, carefully tasted a segment herself to make sure it was sweet, and then handed it to Xie Yan, smiling as she said, "This one isn't sour!"
Xie Yan looked at her with suspicion, arms crossed, and a scrutinizing gaze, asking meaningfully, "Are you lying to me again?"
"This time it really won't be sour!" Yu Yuehui assured him earnestly.
Xie Yan snorted lightly, deliberately putting on a serious expression, "So you mean you deliberately lied to me last time?"
Yu Yuehui was quite honest, nodding readily and saying with a grin, "Is there even a question?"
Xie Yan pretended to be angry, raised his head, looked down at Yu Yuehui, and half-jokingly threatened, "If you weren't my wife, I would have punched you a couple of times!"
"Actually, you can give me a couple of punches right now." Yu Yue winked mischievously.
Xie Yan: "..."
"Hmph! I'm a magnanimous person, I won't hold it against you." With that, he snatched the orange from Yu Yuehui's hand and said with feigned seriousness, "I'll trust you one more time!"
"Comrade Yu Yuehui, if you lie to me again this time, I'll ignore you for the whole day!"
“Your credibility with me is very low right now, but I’m a magnanimous person and I’m willing to give you another chance, provided you can seize it.”
Yu Yue looked at Xie Yanmo and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She realized that Xie Yan had been talking non-stop for a while, but he hadn't put the orange in his mouth yet. It seemed that the sour orange had really scared him!
She smiled and nodded, urging, "Okay! I know, go ahead and eat!"
Xie Yan glanced at her suspiciously again, but seeing the calmness in her eyes, he carefully put the orange into his mouth.
Instantly, the sweet taste spread in his mouth, and he said with satisfaction, "Mmm~, it is indeed sweet."
After finishing the oranges, Xie Yan suddenly remembered the potatoes stored in his spatial storage. His eyes lit up, and he turned to Yue Hui, saying, "Wife, how about we have potato balls for dinner tonight?"
Yu Yue nodded in agreement, "Okay, then we need to go buy some potato starch."
Xie Yan shook his head smugly and said, "No need, I brought them all!"
"You brought all of this?" Yu Yuehui asked, somewhat surprised.
"If Mom finds the potato flour is gone at home, she'll definitely think someone stole it, and she'll go to the village and yell at people!" Yu Yuehui said with some worry.
Xie Yan shook his head mysteriously, then said confidently, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I only brought this little bit." As he spoke, he magically produced a small bag of potato starch from his spatial storage.
Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was just a small bag. "It's fine. Mother probably thought we ate it all." As long as we didn't bring half a bag, there's no problem.
Making potato balls takes a lot of time. Yu Yue checked the time and it was already past two o'clock. She immediately took out the homemade furniture and prepared to get busy.
Just as Yu Yue was grinding potatoes, Xie Yan secretly took out some scallions and chives from his spatial storage.
He had already prepared an excuse, saying that he had secretly bought it at the intersection when he was jogging with his wife that morning.
There are indeed people secretly selling things at this intersection every morning and evening, so no one doubts Xie Yan's statement. Most importantly, some people have already started setting up greenhouses for vegetables here, and Xie Yan has indeed seen people buying them, although the quantities are small and the prices are outrageously high, but people are definitely buying them.
As long as someone buys them, he can openly and legitimately sell vegetables.
Looking at the large basket of chives in his space, Xie Yan decided to take his wife to the black market this afternoon to sell some chives and recoup some of his losses.
This summer's abundant rainfall caused their chives to grow wildly, and Xie Yan harvested a considerable amount, storing it in their space. It was far too much for their family alone, and even with the neighbors' help, they couldn't finish it all. Besides, they couldn't take the chives out too often.
Xie Yan had already secretly scouted this black market many times.
Previously, he was alone, and his own strength was not strong enough to deal with all kinds of situations, so he never dared to get involved.
But now, his wife Yu Yue is back, and his support has arrived!
With his superb disguise skills that could fool even the most convincing fakes, coupled with his wife's formidable martial arts prowess, the two of them working together would surely carve out a niche for themselves in this black market!
Once the potato balls are made, they are steaming hot and emit an enticing aroma.
Xie Yan served a large plate of food and took it to the next room. A little while later, he brought back a plate of stir-fried cured pork and potatoes from the next room. The rich aroma filled the whole house, and the family ate a very satisfying meal.
After dinner, Chaochao was coaxed into a sweet dream early on.
Seeing that Chaochao was fast asleep, Xie Yan couldn't wait to start carefully dressing herself and Yu Yuehui.
He took out various props and carefully worked on them. After a lot of tinkering, the two of them were completely transformed. They had specially put on height-increasing shoes, instantly becoming burly and powerful, looking like two imposing men at first glance.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Yu Yue could hardly believe her eyes. She stammered, "This...this is really me?"
Hearing her own voice, Yu Yuehui was even more surprised; her voice had changed!
Xie Yan confidently raised his head and said, "This is what you call foolproof! Let's go."
The night was as dark as ink, and under the cover of darkness, the two quietly made their way to the vicinity of the black market.
They slipped into a dark, dead-end alley, filled with a damp smell and surrounded by piles of junk.
Xie Yan quickly took out two baskets from his spatial storage. The baskets were filled to the brim with fresh, tender chives, their emerald green leaves still glistening with water droplets, as if they had just been cut from the ground.
The two entered the black market, which was bustling with people. The dim lights flickered among the crowd, but it was very quiet. Even when there were occasional sounds, they were kept very low.
As soon as they put the chives out, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. Chives are a rare commodity at this time of year, let alone theirs, which are so fresh.
Just then, a man completely wrapped in a scarf walked over, his face obscured except for a pair of sharp eyes. "How much are these chives?"
Xie Yan had also altered his own voice, making it rough and hoarse, "Five cents a pound, no bargaining."
The man in front of Xie Yan was clearly wealthy and seemed to have no intention of haggling. He didn't object to Xie Yan's words and said directly, "I want five catties. Do you have any other vegetables?"
He paused, then added, "Except for cabbage!" He wrinkled his nose, looking disgusted. He'd been eating cabbage every day lately and was so tired of it that the sight of it made him want to vomit.
