Arrival in Another World 025, Breakfast

  Early in the morning, before it was fully light, Lianyi got up to wash her face. When she pushed open the door, she saw that Dahu had already gotten up, with his bedding neatly rolled up and folded, and he was bent over washing his face in the basin on the table.

  "Good morning." Lingling greeted kindly and entered the kitchen, starting to worry - after a long time, her family still didn't have half a grain of rice, how could they solve today's breakfast?

  The big tiger silently washed his face and dried it with a towel beside him.

  Li'an looked at Da Hu with difficulty, and there was nothing in the house except for dried kelp. She couldn't let Da Hu go hungry to work in the fields.

  When he looked up and saw the clothes that had been washed last night, he suddenly had an idea, pulled down the clothes, rolled them a few times and stuffed them into his arms. "Wait for me, Big Tiger, I'll be right back." With that, he ran out of the yard.

  Su Lianhui ran out, and Da Hu only turned around to look at her back, his eyebrows tightly locked.

  He thought she wasn't approaching him with ulterior motives, otherwise she should be quietly observing instead of being so high-profile and nosy, he made such a judgment after thinking about it for a night.

  Su Lianyi went where? Went to Su Zheng's home.

  At this time, Zhao had finished cooking and was about to have lunch with Su Zheng before going down to the fields. Seeing Lianhui panting and rushing over, he hastily got up and went out of the yard, "Lianhui, what's wrong? You're in such a hurry at this early hour, has something happened at home?"

  "Great Aunt," Lingling stopped in her tracks, having run all morning without breakfast, and feeling a bit worn out. "There's... something... I need to discuss with Great Aunt..." she panted heavily.

  "Hurry up and go inside to drink some water, no matter how big the thing is, there's always Big Aunt. Don't worry, Lian Yu." As she spoke, she pulled Lian Yu's hand into the courtyard.

  After taking a few sips of water and catching her breath, "Auntie, it's like this. My family has no more grain, so Lianyi was reckless and wanted to use this piece of clothing to exchange for a few steamed buns to take back." As she spoke, she stuffed the clothes in her hand into Zhao's hands.

  Su Lianyi's clothes were all good, although the owner was very fat, but loved beauty, beautiful clothes and cosmetics were not bought less. The rural women in Sujiacun village wore mostly coarse cloth clothes, but Su Lianyi's clothes were all fine cloth mixed with some silk materials, the fabric was more luxurious, and the hand feel was also very smooth.

  There is no woman who does not love beauty, and the middle-aged Zhao was no exception. Although her family lived a relatively good life, after all, there was still a young son at home, and they had to save money tightly for their son's imperial examination and future marriage, so naturally there was no extra money to buy such good clothes.

  Zhao's heart skipped a beat, but he still stuffed the clothes back in. "Girl, if you do this, Aunt will get angry. A few buns are just worth a few cents, can't Aunt even spare a few buns? This dress... must be quite expensive, right?"

  Clothes are expensive, of course. At first, Benzon didn't hesitate to ask his father and brothers for money because of this pile of beautiful clothes.

  Lian Wei also knew the value of this dress, "Auntie, it's Lian Wei's fault, she should be punished. My intention was not to say that you are stingy with a few mantou, but you always help me and I really can't bear it. As a form of respect, this dress is also meant to be given."

  Madam Zhao was delighted by Lianyi's sincere words, and her heart felt warm and fuzzy. "Why should I, an old woman, wear such nice clothes? You're still young, Lianyi, you should dress up more."

  Lianyi smiled wryly, she had already become as plump as a ball, and with some dressing up, could still pass for Yang Guifei. "To be honest with you, Lianyi has too many clothes, can't even wear them all out, if you think this one is old and tattered, I'll go change into a new one and bring it to you."

  Su Lian's clothes were almost all new, the reason was simple - she was too lazy to wash them, when they got dirty, she would just throw them aside and buy new ones, so these clothes had only been washed once.

  Xian Su Liang insisted on sending clothes, and Zhao Shi also stopped pushing back, took the clothes, "Well, thank you Liang for the big aunt, come, take some more grain back."

  Zhao gave Liangliang a lot of things, including twenty steamed buns, some dishes and corn flour. Liangliang hugged the food that would last for a while and ran back home with the wind.

  When Su Lianwen arrived home, Da Hu had just finished practicing a set of fist techniques. Looking at the panting Su Lianwen, with fewer clothes on her body and more rations in hand, he felt an inexplicable feeling rising up in his heart.

  "You rest for a while, I'll go cook a small dish, and we can eat soon." Saying that, she went into the kitchen, picked and washed vegetables, and before long, a stir-fried green vegetable dish was done, and the aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen.

  She then poured two more ladles of water into the pot, added some chopped scallions and ginger slices, and cracked in two egg flowers.

  In less than a cup of tea's time, the table which was empty just now is already set with a sumptuous breakfast.

  "Wash your hands and have dinner, Auntie just said that after she finishes her work in the fields, she'll go teach you how to plant crops. Vegetable fields are different from grain fields, they need to be weeded frequently, it's hard work for you." While saying this, she arranged the bowls and chopsticks.

  The big tiger furrowed his brow, suppressing the inexplicable feeling in his heart, and sat down on a small stool without saying a word. He washed his hands, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, then picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth.

  Suddenly, the mouth was fragrant, and the light vegetable fragrance matched with the non-greasy oil flavor, making people irresistible. This dish is more appetizing than the meat dishes eaten at Su Zheng's house yesterday.

  Lianyi is made using modern stir-frying techniques, first frying chili oil and then stir-frying green vegetables with ginger, scallions, and garlic, topped with chili oil. It's simple and effortless, yet visually appealing and appetizing, with a subtle spicy flavor that stimulates the taste buds and increases appetite.

  The big tiger took another sip of the soup and secretly admired it again.

  Unlike the big tiger who gobbled up his food, Lianyi took a sip of soup and fell into deep thought.

  Exchanging silver notes for loose silver coins is indeed a good idea, but won't it arouse the suspicion of Su Feng and other relatives? This master isn't someone who saves money, where did he suddenly get so much money from?

  Dahai was savoring his food when Su Lianwei suddenly slammed her hand on the table. The sudden movement caused Dahai to choke on a mouthful of rice, and he jumped up from his stool, warily guarding against Su Lianwei.

  Ripples of laughter, "Big Tiger, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, it's just that I've just solved a difficult problem." She thought of how to secretly take the money - selling clothes!

  That's right, my family doesn't have much else, but we have a lot of clothes and cosmetics. Especially the clothes, there are so many that they can't be counted clearly. It took Su Lian two whole nights to wash all the dirty clothes. Not to mention Su Feng and others, even Su Lian herself couldn't count how many clothes I have. Is it forty pieces? Fifty pieces?

  So many clothes, missing a few pieces, outsiders can't even notice.

  That's right, let's do it this way, go to the county town to exchange for silver, if others ask, just say that you pawned your clothes.

  Poor Da Hu, his face was red with anger, and Linlin quickly picked up the soup and ran over. "Sorry, sorry, Brother Tiger, please drink some soup." The problem was solved, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.

  "...What's wrong with this woman?!"

  Dà Hǔ thought he was going to get angry, but seeing the other person's smiling face made him unable to get angry, so he could only take over the soup and gulp down a few mouthfuls, swallowing the stuffed bun that had been stuck in his throat.

  Lian Wei sat back at the table, nibbling on half a bun and sipping some soup, without eating even half a dish of vegetables. That's right, she was on a diet!

  She is not a person who cares about appearance, but as a doctor, she knows that obesity affects not only appearance, but also health, diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and heart disease, many of which are caused by obesity.

  In this ancient time when medical science was underdeveloped, health was of utmost importance and since diseases could not be cured, the only way out was to prevent them.

  Lao Ma Tou drove the donkey cart over and saw Da Hu collecting farm tools in the yard. He asked, "Da Hu, has Lin Wei gotten out of bed?" Usually, it took him a while to get up.

  "Uncle Ma, I'm ready. Let's set off now." The door to the room swung open and Su Lianwei walked out with a refreshed look.

  Not to mention Lao Ma Tou, even Da Hu is a pleasant surprise.

  Today, Su Liang's body was wearing a light blue dress. The original intricate floral patterns were carefully removed by her, clean and elegant. Her skin, without any makeup, looked delicate and tender. Due to the recent cleansing of her skin and vegetarian diet, those few pimples had also disappeared.

  Her fair and round face is paired with a small pointed chin, like a Fuwa doll from a New Year's painting, cute and festive. Her big black eyes are rounded and shiny, smiling into a crescent moon shape, making people unable to help but get close to her.

  With a small package in hand, he stepped over the big tiger and onto the donkey cart, his footsteps light and effortless, without any pretentiousness.

  "Right, Da Hu." Lingling called out to Da Hu as she settled into her donkey cart.

  "En." Da Hu broke through the sky and responded to her for the first time.

  "I won't go to the fields today, you've worked hard." Her tone was full of sincerity.

  Dà Hǔ suddenly felt very embarrassed and didn't know where this embarrassment came from. "Oh," he said, and then went back inside to change his clothes.

  The donkey cart started moving, Old Horse Head looked at Da Hu's tall and majestic figure, then looked at Su Lianwei who was elegant and gentle by his side, feeling that these two were truly a match made in heaven, unfortunately...

  Unfortunately, Lianyi this child doesn't know whether she's gone mad or still thinking about the second young master of the Li family.

  "Uncle Ma, you've worked hard too," said Lianyi, puzzled as to why Old Horse sighed and took out a steaming hot bun from his bundle, "I'll give Uncle a bun to eat as a snack."
