The aroma of rendered lard had already wafted from the kitchen into the yard.
"Wow, why does this Chen family's place smell so good?"
The passing villagers wrinkled their noses and sniffed, quite surprised.
In the kitchen, Su Yun'er scooped out half of the pork cracklings and sprinkled two spoonfuls of white sugar on them while they were still hot. The sugar melted instantly upon contact with the heat, and the glistening sugar syrup coated the brownish-red cracklings, emitting a sweet aroma.
"Little tree, little grass," Su Yun'er called out to the twins.
The two children had been waiting outside the kitchen door for a long time, and when they heard the shout, they rushed in immediately.
"Mother, are you calling us?"
Seeing the two little gluttons staring longingly at the bowl in her hand, Su Yun'er found them adorable.
They picked up some sugar-coated fried dough bits with chopsticks and fed one to each person.
The crispy fried pork cracklings and white sugar melted in my mouth at the same time. It was something I had never eaten before, and the eyes of the little trees and grasses lit up instantly.
"Mom, what's this delicious food? It's so sweet and fragrant!"
“This is called pork cracklings. If you like it, Mom will make it for you again later. But you can’t eat too much of this, so take this small bowl and share it with Grandma.”
The twins, beaming with joy, ran off with their bowls in hand.
Su Yun'er found some romaine lettuce in her space. This vegetable was one of her favorites, with a unique and refreshing aroma.
Wash and cut the romaine lettuce into 1-inch sections. Sauté minced garlic in the rendered pork fat in a pan, then add the romaine lettuce and stir-fry quickly until just cooked. Season with a little salt and light soy sauce. Garlic-flavored romaine lettuce is perfect with rice, and the aroma of pork fat adds another layer of flavor to the dish.
As for that piece of pork, Su Yun'er sliced it and stir-fried it with green peppers to make a dish of stir-fried pork with green peppers.
If only there were some soybean paste, Su Yun'er added another item to her needs list.
Today's main dishes are still brown rice and roasted sweet potatoes.
As soon as the food was served, the two children washed their hands without Su Yun'er having to urge them.
The meal included vegetables, meat, and staple food, making it nutritionally balanced.
After the meal, Su Yun'er made honey water for the whole family.
Having gained experience from buying groceries today, Su Yun'er felt confident about selling vegetables for money.
In the following days, she continued to go to the city to sell vegetables early every day. With experience, she was able to sell more vegetables than on the first day, and even though the price was no longer eight coins per unit, her income was much higher.
Besides supplementing household expenses, some of this income was saved, and some was used to pay back the money owed to the clinic.
After several days, he finally saved up more than three hundred coins.
If others knew how fast he was making money, they'd probably be green with envy.
That day, after stealing some vegetables, Su Yun'er also watered her friends' plants and noticed her points had increased. Then she heard a notification.
When she returned to her own space, she saw a small envelope flashing in the upper right corner of her vision.
Open the envelope, and a line of text will automatically appear.
"Dear host player, you have accumulated 1,000 points, and the system reward has been credited to your account. Would you like to accept it?"
Is there a reward?
Of course I want it!
"take over."
After clicking to receive, a large, fat hen appeared in the space after a burst of golden light, clucking and leisurely strolling in the vegetable garden.
Good heavens!
This reward is really great!
The hen can lay eggs, and the eggs can nourish Grandma Chen and her twins.
Although you can occasionally "steal" one or two eggs by stealing vegetables, it's not a reliable method. However, if you raise a hen properly, it can lay eggs every day steadily.
Su Yun'er was overjoyed. After returning from buying groceries in the city, she took the big fat chicken out of her spatial storage when there was no one around.
I carried the fat chicken all the way back to the village.
At home, Xiaoshu and Grandma Chen were taking a nap inside, while Xiaocao was drawing and writing on the ground in the yard with a twig.
When Xiaocao saw Su Yun'er carrying a fat chicken in, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Grandma, look! Mom brought back a chicken!" Little Grass excitedly woke up Old Mrs. Chen.
"Where did this chicken come from?" Old Mrs. Chen asked Su Yun'er.
"I bought it in the city," Su Yun'er said, tying a cotton rope to the fat chicken's leg to prevent it from flying away.
"Bought it? I'm afraid it's someone's chicken that got stolen." Old Mrs. Chen wasn't as happy as the children; she was a little worried. "I'm afraid someone will come looking for us and say we stole someone's chicken."
"Mother, why do you always think I'm a thief?" Su Yun'er asked with a smile as she watched the fat chicken pacing around the yard.
"After taking good care of it for a few days, it will lay eggs every day, and you can use those eggs to nourish your bodies," Su Yun'er said.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Chen's face lit up with joy.
“You work so hard every day digging for wild vegetables and then selling them. You should eat more of them.”
Su Yun'er smiled and agreed.
It seems that Old Mrs. Chen's attitude towards me has begun to change quite a bit.
"Mom, I'll go dig some wild vegetables for you today," Xiaocao said seriously. "Mom is tired and needs to rest at home."
"Mom, I'm going too. My sister and I can dig up lots and lots of wild vegetables together."
"Good children, all of you are good~" Su Yun'er hugged each of the children.
After lunch, Su Yun'er tidied up in the kitchen by herself and took the opportunity to enter her spatial dimension.
According to the alarms set in the space, some friends' crops can be harvested at this time.
Upon entering the space, Su Yun'er saw several notifications appear on her already mature vegetable patch.
【Romaine lettuce - 4】
【Romaine lettuce - 6】
【Water Spinach - 3】
This is what happens when a friend is stealing vegetables. Su Yun'er neither stops them nor immediately chooses to harvest.
We should "steal" some vegetables from others and let them "steal" some in return. Only through give and take can we achieve common prosperity!
She clicked on the profiles of her friends, including two high-level influential figures.
They all planted entire fields of sugarcane without prior arrangement.
Su Yun'er was overjoyed and quickly selected "Start Stealing Vegetables". When harvesting sugarcane, there is a chance to get white sugar and rock sugar, both of which are expensive goods in this era.
Sugarcane +3
[Rock sugar + 7]
Rock sugar + 4
【White sugar+2】……
After "stealing" from more than a dozen vegetable plots, Su Yun'er was lucky enough to obtain a lot of rock sugar and white sugar.
The sugarcane obtained can be eaten, sold, or upgraded to sugar using points.
While happily inventorying the goods in the warehouse, Su Yun'er wondered what to do with the candy.
Searching through the original owner's memories, Su Yun'er discovered that there was a kind of red fruit in the mountains that looked like a hawthorn.
"Then let's go to the mountains and take a look later."
After making her plans and tidying up the kitchen, Su Yun'er saw Old Lady Chen carrying a bamboo basket and about to go out.
There were also some hemp rope and a machete in the box.
"Mother, what are you going to do?" Su Yun'er asked in surprise.
"I'll go chop firewood," said Old Mrs. Chen.
Su Yun'er was shocked and quickly stepped forward to snatch the bamboo basket away.
