Chapter 98 Popular Recipes

When you're short of money, you can go to the mountains to pick medicinal herbs and then exchange them for money at the herbal medicine shops in town.

Instead of that kind of busy, predictable life.

Having finally been given a second chance at life, and now able to be a human being, she doesn't want to be like a peach tree, stuck in one place, unable to move, just like before.

There's no use thinking about it now. Before deciding what to do, I should read more books and enrich myself.

That way, when you want to do something, you don't have to worry about not knowing enough to do it.

Upon arriving at the library, Yunxi selected about ten books that she thought she might need in the future, and then prepared to pay for them.

Her eyes were just too beautiful, and with a casual glance, she spotted a cookbook.

It felt like this book was tailor-made for her. You know, food is what she's most interested in right now, so how could she not take it after seeing it?

This was the name of the book. Yunxi quickly picked it up, flipped through it, and felt it was somewhat useful, so she simply kept it.

It lists which dish to make and what ingredients to use. It's not very detailed, but it's enough for Yunxi right now.

I took this book and the other ten or so books I had just picked out, and went straight to the salesperson to pay. The total came to about 20 yuan.

For others, they might not earn that much money in a month, but for Yunxi, who sells medicinal herbs, earning at least 2,000 yuan a month, it's really not a lot.

She put the books in her basket, completely ignoring everyone else in the library, and left the library with the basket on her back.

Perhaps I was a little too high-profile just now, which is why so many people were looking at me, but most people were still focused on their books.

Most people don't buy books; they just read them in the library. So Yunxi's habit of buying so many books at once makes her seem quite unusual.

Fortunately, none of them knew her, and everyone was just curious about Yunxi.

After leaving the library, Yunxi had nowhere else to go and didn't think about buying anything else, so she headed straight out of town.

When you cross the river, you can see some elderly men sitting by the river fishing.

It seems that buying meat to eat is indeed a difficult thing now. Many elderly people with some free time come to the river to fish, hoping to add another meat dish to their family.

Yunxi watched for a while, then turned away and stopped looking at them. Everyone's life is different; just live your own life well.

When I passed through the village on my way home, I didn't see a single person. Suddenly, I felt like I was the only one with a bit of free time in the whole village, while everyone else was busy.

I just sighed for a moment, and then headed home.

After returning home, he immediately placed the paper and gold ingots he had bought in the side room. As for the books, he temporarily stored them in his spatial storage, taking them out to read whenever he wanted.

Having walked such a long way, I didn't want to bother with the housework for the time being, so I simply grabbed a stool, sat down under the eaves, looked at the sky outside, and squinted my eyes.

Yunxi stayed at home alone for more than a month and didn't feel lonely at all, or perhaps she didn't even know what loneliness was.

This short month is nothing compared to the thousands of years that have passed in the past.

Yunxi found herself sitting on the stool, lost in thought, until the loudspeaker signaling the end of the workday sounded from the other side of the brigade, which startled her from her reverie.

When Yunxi came to her senses, she was surprised that she had been spacing out for so long and wasting so much time. It was really wrong of her to just sit there in a daze.

It was lunchtime, and I hadn't had enough of the delicious food from lunch, so I took the food out of my spatial storage and placed it on the living room table. It was still warm.

Mmm, it's delicious. I'll cook more next time so I can take it out whenever I want to eat it.

School is about to start, and most of the students bring their own lunch. Only a few students from wealthier families bring refined grains like steamed buns and dumplings.

Most of them brought cornbread, steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, or cornbread with wild vegetables.

Yunxi thought to herself that she couldn't treat herself badly, so she needed to think carefully about what to bring to school to eat.

While eating, I was thinking about what kind of food I should bring to school in the future.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that I could make some steamed buns myself, but I could stuff them with all sorts of meat and eat them secretly.

Or you could make yourself some steamed buns with a mix of flour and water, filled with lots of meat filling. As long as no one sees the meat filling, it shouldn't be too conspicuous.

In the past, when Yunxi brought her own lunch, it was mostly steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, because Yunxi's grandmother was a frugal person and couldn't bear to eat anything good.

Even if Yunxi brought two kinds of steamed buns, if she ate at home by herself, she would probably just make do with two cornbread buns.

Just thinking about that kind of life made Yunxi shudder; she never wanted to live that kind of life.

After dinner, before it got dark, I washed the dishes and prepared to go out for a stroll.

Now that I've settled down here, I can't be too solitary; I need to chat with my neighbors.

There are some principles that you should know, but you may not fully understand them when you are young, while others who have lived for decades certainly know more than you.

I humbly sought his advice.

Just as she stepped out the door, Yunxi suddenly realized that most people had just finished work and were preparing dinner at home.

If I just walk up to their door like this, will people think I'm just there to freeload a meal?

Suddenly I realized how incredibly thoughtless I had been. A sensible person wouldn't show up at someone's house when they're about to eat.

But since she had already left the house, she had no intention of going back.

So I simply changed direction and headed right, eventually arriving at my own private plot of land.

As soon as I arrived at the private plot, I saw my second uncle carrying water to irrigate it.

"Second Uncle, have you eaten yet?"

Yun Shanjun looked up and was surprised to see Yunxi there. "It's Yunxi! Why are you out so late? I checked your plot of land and it seems to have plenty of water. I can tell you've been taking good care of it."
