If she finds the flower and herb recipes tomorrow, and they're still for pastries, then she'll decide to open another pastry shop in the capital. She originally only wanted to open one hot pot restaurant, but she's decided to open another one.
If this pastry were made, it would taste far better than these ancient desserts. Most importantly, she would love to eat it.
But now I can't eat even if I want to, so I have to suppress my excitement and go to sleep. I fell asleep quickly after lying down, and when I heard the birds chirping outside, it was already dawn.
An Shuyi lay lazily, "It's definitely more comfortable to sleep on the ground. I can roll around however I want. When I sleep in a tree, I don't dare to move at all."
Xia Hua was sitting to the side getting dressed. Hearing what she said, she nodded in agreement, "It's good. As long as we're careful at night, we can sleep in tents from now on."
That night, although they heard wolves howling, there were none around the tent, and they slept quite well.
After getting dressed, I opened the tent and went outside. I walked around and only found some dead insects. I didn't see any other animals or snakes. I took out the basin to wash up and then tied my hair up haphazardly.
An Shuyi also got dressed and came out. After washing up, Xia Hua put the tent directly into the warehouse without taking it down. This way, it could be taken out when needed in the evening, although it took up some warehouse space.
After having some bread and milk, the two continued their search for flowers and plants.
Walking down the street, An Shuyi turned around and said, "Huahua, I've noticed that you've become much fairer these past few days!" You also look younger than before.
Xia Hua touched her face. "Yours is whiter than before. It's probably because we eat better and use skincare products. It seems that as long as we keep at it, our bodies can become younger."
During this period, they ate venison and drank deer blood wine, and they ate very well every day. Although they did not take any medicine to regulate their bodies, their health improved day by day.
"When we have dinner tonight, don't drink deer blood wine, drink ginseng wine instead to replenish our vital energy. Our bodies are fine with a small cup every day, but too much might be too much." We've been a bit tired of drinking deer blood wine these past few days, so we're going to change things up.
"Okay!" Xia Hua nodded. "The ginseng wine in the warehouse has been soaking for a few days. Although the flavor isn't strong enough, it's still drinkable. But you can't eat venison or tiger meat anymore. You should eat something else. You can't take too much tonic at once. By the way, what can you buy after you sold things last night?"
An Shuyi slapped her forehead, "If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have remembered to tell you that we sold 6,200 taels last night, and now we have 76,200 taels. We're one step closer to 200,000 taels. The things we can buy are pastry recipes."
At this point, she smiled like a beautiful flower, "These aren't dessert recipes from this world, they're from our world: strawberry cake, cherry blossom milk balls, red date glutinous rice cake... there are ten kinds, all of which I love to eat."
“I wanted to tell you, but you were already asleep and couldn’t remember this morning. You had to ask me to remember. Hua Hua, how about we open another pastry shop after we get to the capital?”
"These are all sweets. These pastries sell very well in modern times, and they will definitely sell well here too. Just thinking about all that money going into my pocket makes me happy."
Xia Hua hadn't expected that what she could buy this time would be pastry recipes, but thinking about the previous vegetable recipes, it seemed normal. However, the pastry shop that Shu Shu mentioned was fine too, as long as she could make money, especially since Shu Shu loved to eat.
"Then I'll listen to you and open another pastry shop. We'll hire a few more servants, but finding a shopkeeper will be difficult. Let's take it slow and decide when to open the shop once we find a suitable one."
Although it was possible to buy servants in ancient times, it was not easy to find loyal servants who were also good at accounting and management. However, they were not in a hurry and would wait until they found suitable ones. If they really couldn't find any, they would have to pick two from the village and train them.
"We'll talk about this later. I want to find more flowers and plants and see what appears in the trading system after the sale."
Xia Hua nodded, "Okay, let's hurry up and look. You stay here, I'll go over there." With that, she headed to the other side.
The two of them started searching. They ate a quick lunch and were in a hurry to find flowers and plants. They didn't stop until dark. Seeing that the lawn in front of them was relatively clean, they decided to rest there.
"Take out the flowers and plants you found today and hand them over," Xia Hua said. "Shu Shu, buy a few potatoes. I'll stir-fry some shredded potatoes, make braised pork, and stir-fried cabbage for dinner. You sell the flowers and plants you found today first."
She still has some rice cooked last night. Shushu doesn't want to drink deer blood wine, so she'll drink ginseng wine instead. She won't eat venison or tiger meat, and will eat something light.
An Shuyi nodded, put the flowers and plants she handed over into the warehouse, bought a few pounds of potatoes, a cabbage, and a pound of scallions, ginger, and garlic. "Then I'll trouble you, Huahua. I'll sell the stuff first."
"It's no trouble at all. I'll call you when it's time to eat." After saying that, she took out all the necessary items from the warehouse. Not wanting to use a portable gas stove to cook, she dug a pit, lit a fire in it, and placed an iron pot on top of the pit.
The rice stayed warm in the warehouse, so all I needed to do was cook two dishes, which would be quick.
While she was busy cooking, An Shuyi was also busy selling things. She opened the trading system and found that she hadn't found much today, just two poisonous herbs, a gastrodia elata, and a lingzhi mushroom. The lingzhi mushroom wasn't big and could only be sold for two thousand taels of silver, while the gastrodia elata could be sold for one thousand taels of silver. The poisonous herb was a willow-leaf peach.
The willow-leaf peach was arguably the most poisonous fruit she had ever seen. When she found it, she always wore gloves to dig it up, sometimes even wearing two pairs, just in case the sap got on her hands. If she accidentally ingested even a little bit, she would vomit, convulse, fall into a coma, and then die.
For her own life, it was best to be cautious. However, this poison was very expensive. She had only found two, and each one cost three thousand taels, which was about the same price as ginseng. After selling all the ones she found, her balance increased by another nine thousand taels.
After selling everything, she began to examine the plants that Shushu had given her: a ginseng root, a he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), and a sandalwood sapling. The ginseng wasn't very big and could be sold for 3,000 taels, the he shou wu for 1,500 taels, and the sandalwood sapling for 500 taels. Her balance increased by another 5,000 taels, and she now had 92,000 taels. She only needed 10,000 taels more to buy a time-travel pass.
She went back to the trading system to check what she could buy. In order to open a pastry shop, she had been thinking about pastry recipes. This time, there weren't many items she could buy, only twenty kinds. She guessed that there weren't many slots left to activate, so there weren't many available to activate right now.
But this is just her guess; it's still unknown whether it's true.
