“It’s so soft. In the past, the pastries I bought from the shop had to be very expensive to have such a texture.” Chu Xing instantly regretted not knowing anything and eating it just like that.
“The cost isn’t expensive. If we sell it, it seems that we can sell it for a high price,” Ye Muyu said.
“This is a test subject for you to try. It’s a waste if you don’t eat it anyway. It won’t last long. When we go back later, you can take some home for Fifth
Aunt.”
As for the old residence, she had already sent it to them on the third day of the experiment.
“What? No, no, I can’t take advantage of you, Sister-in-law. You already said that you can sell it for a very expensive price. It’s already very good that you let me try it. I can’t take it back.” Although Chu Xing was happy that Ye Muyu did not treat him as an outsider and was sincere in treating him well, he could not be greedy.
Ye Muyu did not care about his refusal. “I still need your help in the future. I said that I wanted to sell it, but this sample is only to confirm the taste.
Naturally, I can’t sell it.”
“In short, you don’t have to feel bad. Just take it back. This is what you deserve.” Seeing her insistence, Chu Xing did not refuse.
“I called you here today because I want you to sell the herbs I’ve collected these few days.”
“Also, help me find out if you can still provide me with 10 catties of milk in two months.”
“Alright, Sister-in-law, I promise to do these two things for you.” Chu Xing thought that he had taken advantage of Ye Muyu. If he did not do a good job, he would not have the face to accept these benefits.
Ye Muyu could rest assured that Chu Xing would handle things.
By the time he loaded the herbs and placed them on the mule cart, there was already a cake on it.
“This pastry can’t be left for a long time, especially the white milk on it. You should bring it back earlier and let Fifth Aunt eat it. It might not even last for half a day.” Ye Muyu did not want to guarantee how long it would last in this weather, especially the cream. If it went bad, even the cake would be ruined.
Chu Xing originally thought that the pastries would last for at least four to five days, but who knew that they would not last for half a day? No wonder his sister-in-law said that they could not be sold. Only then did he take it to heart and quickly nodded. “Sister-in-law, I understand.”
Ye Muyu was relieved to see that he had taken his words to heart and reminded him to be careful on the road.
After sending Chu Xing off, Ye Muyu closed the door and entered the main room.
The Du couple had already finished their work and left.
It was not difficult to plant vegetables on four plots of land. After six or seven days of work, they were done.
“Mother, these small fish seem to be dying.”
Chu Ziluo squatted in a shady corner and looked at the carp in the basin, feeling a little worried.
Ye Muyu took a look. “It’s fine. I’ll just make some fish soup tonight.’
“Mother, aren’t we spending money too quickly?” Chu Ziluo ran into the house and found a stool to sit in front of Ye Muyu. She asked without looking at what Ye Muyu was writing.
“Fast? It’s alright.” Ye Muyu did not think that she was spending money quickly.
It was only 30 copper coins a day, plus the money for meat and fish.
Other than some condiments, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and meat that needed to be bought, the other ingredients did not require silver. The daily expenditure of 30 copper coins was not considered much.
“But we eat meat every day.” Chu Ziluo’s eyes widened as she refuted.
“Although meat is expensive, is it difficult for us to eat meat every day?” Ye Muyu could not help but laugh. A catty of meat was only 25 copper coins. It was made into different dishes. If she cooked vegetables and meat together, it would naturally be sumptuous. In fact, not much meat was used..
