Chapter 169: Do It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whether it was a big or small bowl, a bowl of wonton was quite expensive for farmers. Fortunately, they did not come to town every day, so Xue Yifu and Li Hehua did not feel too bad eating it.

Moreover, Doctor Shen already said that Li Hehua needed to nourish her body.

The reason why he chose to eat wonton was that Li Hehua had told him about it before. He didn’t know what wonton tasted like, so he remembered it. This time, Li Hehua could have a taste.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, do you have anything you want to buy? If not, let’s go to the ox cart after we’re done eating. Tian said that he’ll be going back earlier this afternoon.” Xue Yifu asked Xue Yan and Jiang Yue as he ate.

Xue Yan swallowed the wonton in his mouth and said, “Jiang Yue and I have something we want to buy.”

“What are you buying?” Li Hehua asked.

Jiang Yue also stopped eating her dumplings and said, “We want to buy some wheat, glutinous rice, flour, or rice flour. Xiaobao and the rest helped us dig up the raspberries last time. We heard that they like to eat candy, so we wanted to make some for them.”

“Ah, you guys know how to make candy?” Xue Yifu and Li Hehua were both very surprised. They stopped eating their wonton and looked up at their two precious children.

“I don’t, but Jiang Yue does,” Xue Jie said.

Jiang Yue said, “My mother loved to make food. Before she was in poor health, she saw that there was a shop selling malt candy in town, so she thought about making it herself. She really managed to make it. However, later on, her health was so poor that she couldn’t even afford to take medicine. She didn’t have the money to buy things to make malt candy to sell even until she was gone. However, I was always by her side at that time and saw it. That was how I knew how to make candy.”

The host’s mother liked to cook because she had learned how to cook when she was a girl, and the dishes she made were delicious. Later, she got married and became a cook. In this village, anyone who needed a decent meal would always ask the host’s mother to cook.

The host’s mother naturally didn’t feel at ease leaving her child alone at home, so she would naturally follow her and ate a lot of good food.

The reason why the host was raised to be so fair and tender had a lot to do with this.

“Your mother did like to cook,” Li Hehua said. “Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that your mother’s cooking is delicious. Previously, some young wives and I wanted to go to your house to learn how to cook from your mother, but because your mother’s health was getting worse and worse, we gave up.”

“Jiang Yue, I feel that your memory is similar to Xue Yan’s. They’re both very good.” Xue Yifu pursed his lips. “When Xue Yan was your age, he could also remember many things. Since you know how to do it, then you can do it with him. Xiaobao and the others have helped our family, so we should repay them.”

Xue Yan had a photographic memory, but his memory was much worse than Xue Yan’s.

Of course, Jiang Yue did not say this out loud.

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.

“Wouldn’t it be too much trouble to make it yourself?” Li Hehua said. “Why don’t we just buy some? The place we passed by just now seemed to have a place that sold the malt candy.”

“The same amount of money can’t buy much,” Jiang Yue said. “But if we make it, we can make a lot more.”

“I see,” Li Hehua said immediately, “Then let’s do it.”

“Yeah,” Jiang Yue replied.

After finishing the wonton, Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan where she could find the things she needed.

“There’s no such thing on this street, but there’s a rice store near the other street. As long as it’s grain, they sell it there.”
