The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 90 Buying the Shop

Dinner was quite some time past when Wen Luozhi finally brought out the desserts she had made that day. She introduced each one and let them try it. After tasting them, everyone was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Little sister, do you still have that roasted goat milk?" Wen Zizhou licked his fingers and looked at Wen Luozhi expectantly.

The outer skin of the roasted goat milk is fragrant with milk, and the inside is tender, smooth, and sweet.

I don't know how they processed the goat milk so that it didn't have any goaty smell at all.

"No more. It'll taste better if it's freshly baked and hot tomorrow," Wen Luozhi said, shrugging.

The remaining pieces were all ones she had managed to snatch from Xiao Hu and Helian Zhiyan with great difficulty.

The two little ones especially love roasted goat milk. They'll grab a piece after playing for a while, and if she hadn't snatched it in time, there wouldn't have been a single crumb left.

"Can I stay home tomorrow?" Wen Zizhou asked pitifully.

If cold drinks taste this good, then hot drinks must taste even better! He's drunk all those iced drinks sold in the shop eight hundred times already and is so tired of them.

Wen Luozhi knew he would like to eat this, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "Why don't we just buy that shop now and build a kiln in the yard so we can sell hot pastries?"

The shop is in a good location, so the price is definitely not low, but the business is always on the rise, so there's no need to worry about not making a profit.

Eating sweets can relax the mind, and with so many scholars nearby, there's no fear of not being able to sell them.

Wen Zizhou thought this method was feasible. He hadn't calculated today's accounts yet, but he was sure he would earn more each day during this period.

Buy a shop, set up a kiln, and enjoy hot pastries! Sell small wood carvings to make a little extra money—life couldn't be better.

He felt he had gained weight, and not only him, but everyone else had also noticeably gained weight.

He was the first to raise his hand in agreement, and the others, needless to say, had no objections to anything Wen Luozhi wanted to do.

“Girl, how about we buy an oxcart?” Xie He said from the side.

Wen Luozhi frowned slightly, thinking that he disagreed, and quickly changed her mind, "It's fine if you don't buy it, it's okay either way..."

"No, Mother, what I was thinking was why we didn't buy a carriage?" Wen Luozhi asked with a smile.

It's not that her family can't afford it; if she doesn't have enough money for her business, she can still sell ginseng.

Horse-drawn carriages are so convenient; they keep you out of the sun on sunny days and out of the rain on rainy days, and you can carry a lot of things in them.

Moreover, horse-drawn carriages are much faster than oxcarts, which can save a lot of time.

Upon hearing her mention a carriage, Wen Muchuan looked at Wen Luozhi excitedly and asked, "My darling, can we buy a carriage?" His voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.

That's a horse-drawn carriage! If they buy it, they'll be the first to do so! He hasn't even had his fill of being the first to buy a mountain, and now he's going to buy another one?!

"Hmm, why not buy it tomorrow!" Wen Luozhi winked playfully at him, then feigned distress, saying, "But I'm afraid Father will have to choose the horse; my brothers definitely won't pick one well."

Upon hearing this, Wen Muchuan immediately rubbed his hands together in anticipation, then glanced disdainfully at his sons before turning to Wen Luozhi with a doting fatherly air, "Don't worry, my dear, tomorrow I'll go to town with your mother and the others, and I guarantee I'll pick out a good horse for you!"

Wen Luozhi praised him repeatedly for being amazing, making him so happy he was practically beside himself.

Xie He looked at his little daughter with a tender smile. This child wasn't worried about her brothers not choosing well at all; she was just trying to let her old man rest!

These past few days he's been running back and forth between the mountain and his home. He said the pigs could be fed by his family, but he insisted on coming over to feed them himself, and then he would go up the mountain to supervise the work.

Besides, even if a few boys aren't chosen well, there's still her as their mother.

The matter is settled, we'll buy the carriage tomorrow, and after she finishes making the desserts, we'll go find that person to buy the shop.

Tomorrow we'll be testing steamed cakes and the other things we made today. After tidying up, Wen Luozhi went to bed early and told Helian Zhiyan a story about a monster before falling asleep.

……

It was past midnight, and Gu Yunqi was making a lot of noise on the bed in the dark room, which drove Jun Qianzi to the point of losing her temper.

"Gu! Yun! Qi!" He sat up and shouted through gritted teeth.

In the afternoon, he brought the food back and said there was too much and he wanted to share it with the others, but this guy was as possessive of his food as a dog and refused to give it to anyone.

Finally, after much persuasion, he finally produced two portions, but he insisted on eating the rest himself.

So much so that his mouth has barely stopped since the moment he got the food. When he's full, he lies down quietly for a while, and when he's not full anymore, he continues eating.

I told him that eating too much cold food is bad, but he just wouldn't believe me!

Gu Yunqi chuckled, a few red bean fragments still clinging to his pearly white front teeth. "Qianqian, this double-skin milk pudding is really delicious!"

"If they don't eat now, they won't be able to eat tonight."

He used his uninjured hand to pick up the bowl and pour it directly into his mouth, making Jun Qianzi's temples throb.

Finally, Gu Yunqi finished the last serving of cold rice cake and let out a long, satisfied burp.

I never imagined that such a small place could have such delicious food. How come he never discovered it before?

"Qianqian, go early tomorrow, I want to eat more."

I heard he went too late this afternoon and the shops were almost closed. I need to urge him to go earlier tomorrow.

Jun Qianzi glared at him, neither nodding nor shaking her head, and finally collapsed helplessly onto her bed.

"Alas!" he sighed inwardly.

This guy will definitely wake him up before dawn tomorrow to buy it...

He's saved a Buddha!

Early in the morning, Wen Muchuan repeatedly told Wen Ziming, who was at home, "Big brother, don't just mess around with your land, help Dad feed the pigs properly."

I'm a little sad that I'm not home today.

He looked at his well-behaved little daughter and said, "My darling, you..."

"If you're not going up the mountain, just stay home, eat well, and sleep when you should," Wen Luozhi said with a smile, picking up where he was going to leave off.

Wen Muchuan was relieved and waved to the others after getting on the oxcart.

Helian Zhiyan peered out through the door, glancing at the direction of the courtyard gate and then at Da Ya and Er Ya, who were cooking by the kiln.

Wen Luozhi found it amusing and quietly called to her to come out and play in the yard.

The little girl didn't forget her chores. She fed the rabbits first before squatting down by the kiln with a serious expression to watch Wen Luozhi teach Daya and Erya how to make pastries.

"Sister, you're amazing!" She licked her lips, her eyes fixed on the pretty little peach shortbread in Wen Luozhi's hand.

It smells so sweet! It smells so good, I really want to eat it!

Daya took special care of this little sister who was even younger than Erya. She picked up a few dishes that had already gone cold, put them in a bowl, and led her to sit down at the stone table. "Xiaoyan, it's too hot over there. Sit here and eat."

Although they were all under big trees, the entire kiln was so hot that it was unbearable to be too close.

"Thank you, Sister Daya," Helian Zhiyan nodded obediently, said sweetly, and then obediently ate the peach shortbread in her bowl.

Before she had finished eating, another dish was brought over. The joy of the food instantly lifted her spirits, which had been feeling a little down because she missed her parents.

Thanks to the special medicine he obtained from the Wenluozhi system, Helian Yue is now able to sit up.

He looked out the window at the scene in the courtyard and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Heaven was kind to them, and they were fortunate enough to meet a good family.
