What bad thoughts could a child possibly have? She just wants a sister her own age to go to school with her.
“I know you’re good to your sisters. Your second uncle is going to the capital to finish his business and won’t be back until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The capital is too far from here.”
Yue Jiuyue stroked Xiaoman'er's head, watching her go from expectation to disappointment, her little mouth pouting, and couldn't help but find it funny.
Kids are so cute!
"Grandma! Sister!"
Xiaoman'er's personal tail, Dazhuang, came running over on his short little legs.
"Grandma! Sister!"
Da Zhuang's two calls were especially sweet.
Sigh...
Yue Jiuyue responded with a drawn-out sound, her face beaming with a kind smile.
Little Man'er didn't react much, but Da Zhuang curiously peeked at her and asked:
"elder sister?"
His sister seemed unhappy.
"Um."
The little girl casually replied and ran out of the courtyard gate.
Yue Jiuyue: (=_=)
What's going on?
Dazhuang: (???︿???)
He was unhappy too.
He just arrived!
"Grandma, bye-bye!"
Da Zhuang shot out like a cannonball.
Fortunately, ever since the child learned to walk, he had been running all over the mountains and fields, always chasing after the unpredictable Xiaoman'er. In addition, the child had a really good temper, so he only frowned and was unhappy for a moment before starting to chase after Xiaoman'er again.
Bye-bye! Slow down! Watch your step!
Yue Jiuyue only had time to shout out this one sentence.
The two children had long since disappeared; it's unclear whether they heard anything.
Before the two kids could even warm up the atmosphere, they all ran off one by one. Yue Jiuyue suddenly felt a bit bored, so she started thinking about finding something to do.
For example, catching cicadas.
The preparation work before catching cicadas, such as washing the gluten, is a very fun task.
Rub and rub, knead and knead, pinch and pinch...
A thin bamboo pole with gluten stuck to the top—go wherever you hear cicadas chirping. You're sure to find cicadas trembling their little bellies and squeaking in the trees. Perhaps because they haven't experienced the dangers of humans, the gluten on the bamboo pole has even stuck to their wings. Only when it's stuck to them and pulled down do they know to struggle.
Before long, the burlap sack carried by the maid following behind Yue Jiuyue was already full.
There's nothing we can do; we lack everything else at home, but we have plenty of trees.
But Yue Jiuyue hadn't had enough fun yet...
Then let's continue!
The maidservant went back and put down the cloth bag, then asked the cook in the courtyard to clean up the cicadas. The maidservant then took an empty cloth bag and went to find Yue Jiuyue.
By the time it was time to eat, Yue Jiuyue had already filled three cloth bags with cicadas.
You should know that those cloth bags were extra-large bags used to store grain. Three bags full of cicadas would be impossible for Yue Jiuyue's family to finish in one meal, even if they had a large number of people.
However, if the approach is different, and a cicada feast is held, then it's not necessarily the same.
Deep-fried cicadas, cicada scrambled eggs, cicada dumplings, stir-fried cicadas, spicy cicadas...
The various ways of cooking cicadas were things that no one had ever heard of before. After all, most people just boil these insects. Now that there are so many ways to eat them, everyone is curious about what they taste like. Three large sacks of cicadas were completely eaten in one meal!
Yue Jiuyue was surprised. She had only mentioned it casually, and the cook had prepared a table full of cicadas with different flavors, and they all tasted pretty good. Yue Jiuyue even thought about sending the cook to a restaurant in town.
Yes, the next day, she really did send the cook to a restaurant, and it was a restaurant in the town that Lin Chaonan was in charge of. The newly opened restaurant needed a chef who could cook delicious food the most.
Also sent out were more than twenty sacks of cicadas that the servants of the household had glued together.
Cicadas suddenly appeared on the restaurant table. Because of the tasting, everyone thought they were pretty good. Then, among those who had eaten them, anyone who could cook quickly figured out how to make them. The taste was definitely a little different, but that didn't stop everyone from having a new dish on their family dinner table.
Yes, other restaurants will probably follow suit and put cicadas on their menus, since cicadas are really not difficult to cook, and you can make them pretty much the same after a couple of tries.
While making money, Yue Jiuyue didn't forget her own appetite and ate a few more times later.
I also secretly uploaded a few copies to the store, but they were all sold out instantly every time.
Yue Jiuyue tried to be a middleman, which meant she wanted to put the items she bought from the mall into her own shop. However, unexpectedly, yet predictably, she couldn't get the items to hang up.
The shop can only display items from this world; even a stone or a handful of dirt can be hung there.
The buyers probably thought there was something special about her soil and stones, because they sold out in seconds again, which made Yue Jiuyue quite embarrassed. Although she only sold one point each time, she still felt that what she did was too unfair and really wanted to offer a no-reason return policy or a refund without returning the goods.
Unfortunately, it can't be done.
She could only keep her apologies to herself and lower the prices when listing items in the mall, since she no longer relied on the mall's points to survive.
However, Yue Jiuyue's enthusiasm only lasted for three minutes. After the guilt subsided, she lazily lay on the recliner under the grape trellis and dozed off. As for the online store, it was just the most convenient and quick takeout shop at her side. She rarely put any goods on her own shop anymore.
