Xu Milu carefully wrapped the separated snacks in oil paper and sorted them, and suddenly there were mountains of snacks in front of her.
After distributing the food, she noticed there was still a lot left in the shop, and seeing all sorts of mountain spirits and monsters perched on the windowsill, she couldn't help but chuckle. With a wave of her hand, she decisively said:
"It's been a long time since I've made pastries, so today I'll share these pastries with everyone. They're ten coins a pack. If you don't have the money, you can trade them for mountain produce or wild game!"
"Madam Xu is so generous!"
"Give me five packs! I'm drooling! This aroma is so enticing, I could smell it on my way to the underworld!"
"Madam Xu is beautiful and generous, and her cooking skills are also excellent. I wonder which immortal lord will marry you in the future!"
"Come on, come on! Buy ten packs first. I don't know if that'll be enough for my two hundred and thirty-eight kids—"
Immediately, cheers and shouts erupted at the shop entrance, filled with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere.
...
...
"Click".
Xu Milu opened the door and found Liu Hongmei sitting in the living room watching TV. Xu Minian, who had returned home sometime earlier, was lying on the sofa playing video games.
"?"
Liu Hongmei turned around when she heard the sound and was startled to see Xu Milu carrying a food box:
"When did you get back? Why didn't you call to let me know? You scared me half to death!"
Have you eaten? What would you like to eat? I'll make you something. There's a fish in the fridge; I'll make you a crucian carp and tofu soup. Would you like some fruit?
Just the other day, your Grandpa Cui's family had someone buy some wild cherries. I remembered you like them, so I washed some for you.
Lying on the sofa, Xu Minian put down her phone and yelled, "There are still wild cherries at home? How come I didn't know? Mom, you're being unfair!"
—After going on a trip, Xu Minian got several shades darker, looking like a coal miner with his dark and muscular physique.
"Where's Grandpa? Is he already asleep?"
Xu Milu looked around but didn't see Old Man Liu. She walked straight to the sofa, kicked Xu Minian's butt to make way for him.
"I just brought back some mille-feuille pastries from outside, they're still warm. I'll call Grandpa down to have some with him."
The food box was opened, and inside were only five unique flaky pastries. Instead of peach jam, the layers of flaky pastry were covered with freshly cut peach petals, each petal juicy, pink, and fragrant.
"What kind of dessert is this? It looks delicious. Wow, it's rare to find peaches that taste like peaches in this season. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some next time."
Ms. Liu Hongmei's quality of life has improved, and she has begun to pursue more refined desserts. She went to the kitchen, found five small plates, and divided the desserts out:
“Your grandpa is playing chess with your uncle Sun upstairs. Xiaomi, take this up to your grandpa and uncle Sun, and tell them to come down for dinner later.”
Tell them your sister's back. Tonight I'll make braised pork trotters, stew a free-range chicken, and stir-fry some crab and clams. Oh, and ask your Uncle Sun to go pick some chrysanthemum greens from the yard; your sister loves them.
Xu Milu watched as her family ate the peach, and only then did she feel a weight lift from her heart.
