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

Chapter 82 Storytelling

To her surprise, as soon as she went outside, she saw Helian Zhiyan holding the little tiger's dark paws and saying in a precocious tone, "Little brother, you have to wash your hands before you eat, or you'll get worms in your stomach."

Xiao Hu nodded blankly, then saw Wen Luozhi pull her hand away and rush over excitedly.

"Little auntie, meat, second meat."

Wen Luozhi bent down and picked her up, reaching out her hand to Helian Zhiyan, "Come on, let's eat something that will make you grow taller and stronger."

Helian Zhiyan smiled, revealing two dimples, and skipped into the house while holding Wen Luozhi's hand.

Each of the two children had a chicken leg, but she held it in her hand, reluctant to eat it. Wen Luozhi directly stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "Your brother can't eat this; he can only drink plain porridge."

She then began to eat in small bites, her eyes shining with joy.

This is the first time in so long that I've eaten something so delicious. Even the food my family makes isn't as good as what my sister makes.

The others also raved about the roast chicken. Just as they finished commenting, Wen Luozhi brought over a plate of sliced ​​roast duck, along with a plate of shredded scallions and cucumbers.

She picked the cucumbers from the field, and when she went to the field today, she was pleasantly surprised to find one hidden at the very bottom, concealed by the vines below.

She rolled out the dumpling wrappers thin, brushed them with oil, and steamed them; they're perfectly chewy and delicious right now.

Everyone in the room was curious about how to eat it, so she demonstrated by wrapping one up and stuffing it into Wen Muchuan's mouth. "Dad, please try this roast duck and see how it tastes!"

Wen Muchuan's chubby cheeks and smiling eyes showed how filial his daughter was! She gave him the first bite.

Everyone else looked at him expectantly. Wen Muchuan finished eating and licked his lips, clearly still wanting more.

"Yeah, delicious!"

After hearing what he said, Wen Zixun quickly wrapped one up and put it in his mouth, then a second, and a third.

In the end, only a few white scallion strips were left on the plate.

"Little sister, are we going to sell this?!"

Wen Ziming's eyes lit up. His sister said that the crisp and refreshing thing inside was the cucumber that he checked on twice a day. She never expected it to taste so refreshing.

The duck meat was originally a bit greasy, but the addition of cucumber made it less greasy.

Wen Luozhi nodded; she planned to wait until the cucumbers were ripe enough before starting to sell roast duck.

The kiln is now fired, but if we want to use it to make things for sale, one kiln is definitely not enough; we need several more.

I had planned to go to town today, but I never expected that kind of thing to happen. I'll have to go tomorrow.

She wanted to browse the pastry shops first, and if possible, she planned to buy a larger shop specifically for making pastries.

As for roast duck, she can sell some in her own shop and take some to restaurants; she'll naturally have a way to get them out there.

Only their family has cucumbers, so if you want to buy roast duck, you have to buy cucumbers from them. That way, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

She was very confident in what she made!

I shared my idea with the others, and they all thought it was feasible. We'll wait for Xie He and the others to come back and discuss it further.

That evening, Helian Yue was delighted to receive a large bowl of white rice porridge, and Wen Luozhi kindly served him some salty pickled vegetable stalks.

"Thank you so much, Miss Luo Zhi, for taking me in."

He parted his thin lips slightly, and the voice that came out was soft and gentle, like a trickle of water.

Out of respect for his gentle and polite manner, Wen Luozhi didn't argue and only told him to take good care of his injuries.

"You're staying in this room; you can't step out and cause me any trouble."

Even though he's in such a state that he can't even get out of bed, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

In the end, she still reminded him to leave as soon as his injury healed.

After she left, Helian Zhiyan quietly slipped in and knelt by the bed, saying, "Brother Yue, don't be afraid of Sister Luo Zhi, she's fine."

She pressed her little face against Helian Yue's palm, showing extreme dependence.

Helian Yue chuckled and pinched her cheek, saying, "Brother isn't afraid of Sister Luo Zhi, is he?"

Helian Zhiyan stood up, hands on her hips, and asked, "Why didn't you say anything when you fed me the porridge so quickly, brother?"

She saw it all from outside, haha, she'd never seen her brother so cowardly before.

Helian Yue: ...

That girl looked fierce and was indeed not someone to be trifled with. Besides, she had already given him food, so why was he being picky?

After the brother and sister talked for a while, Helian Zhiyan quietly slipped back.

Before they even reached Wen Luozhi's door, she grabbed him and said, "Zhiyan, didn't your sister tell you not to run around at night?"

Although her brothers took turns guarding the yard and she had set up traps around it, there was no guarantee that nothing unexpected might happen.

She sighed softly and pulled the person into the house. "Now, wash up and go to bed."

Wen Luozhi pretended to be fierce, but Helian Zhiyan was not afraid at all. Instead, she ran over, hugged her leg, raised her head, and blinked her big eyes, looking incredibly cute.

"Sister, I can't sleep, can I play in the room for a while?"

Wen Luozhi sighed, realizing that the kind of "play" she was talking about was quite unusual.

This little girl is like a tomboy, chasing chickens and catching dogs, she's nothing like the quiet young lady from a wealthy family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's a little monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain.

Hmm? A little monkey?

Wen Luozhi's eyes darted around, and she pressed her down on the bed, coaxing, "Lie down obediently, and I'll tell you a nice story, okay?"

Helian Zhiyan was overjoyed when she heard that she was going to tell a story.

Back when she lived in the manor, her parents would tell her stories every night, and she had gotten used to it.

But she never heard anyone talk about it again on the way to exile, because it was so hard to even survive.

She quickly got into bed, lay down straight, and looked at her expectantly. "Sister, I'm ready."

Wen Luozhi clicked her tongue slightly, surprised that everyone was so enthusiastic about telling stories...

She took a sip of water to clear her throat, and her melodious voice rang in Helian Zhiyan's ears: "Once upon a time, there was a fairy stone on a mountain. One day, a cute little monkey suddenly jumped out of the stone..."

Helian Zhiyan stared wide-eyed in astonishment. How could a little monkey jump out of a stone? Shouldn't it come out of its mother's belly like she did?

She found it very interesting and listened quietly to Wen Luozhi's story. Even when there were questions, she didn't interrupt. When she heard the tense parts, her little mouth would open slightly or her little hand would be on her chest.

When the story of Patriarch Bodhi teaching Sun Wukong his skills came up, Helian Zhiyan, who had been smiling, suddenly burst into tears.

"Sister, Master is so kind."

The little monkey had no father or mother, only his master who doted on him, gave him a name, and taught him all sorts of skills.

Wen Luozhi pinched her little cheek and smiled, saying, "Sister thinks so too, but it's already late, we should go to sleep."

"Tomorrow's story will be even more exciting!"

Helian Zhiyan was still a little unsatisfied, but she obediently lay down.

The story tonight was different from what her parents told her, and the more she listened, the more she wanted to hear it.

My sister is amazing! She looks so young, yet she knows so many interesting things. She should go to bed early tomorrow so she can listen to more of these things.

And so, Wen Luozhi finally managed to trick the person into falling asleep.

She tiptoed out of the house and checked the yard again before returning to make sure everything was alright.

The little wolf spent the entire day with Helian Yue, except when Helian Zhiyan caught it, so she didn't need to worry about it.

That guy is a good-looking guy, and aside from his good looks, he's still very reliable when it matters.
