Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 18: Shredded Potato

Ji Wan'er tugged at Xiao Qingming's sleeve...

Seeing that Xiao Qingming wasn't angry, Ji Wan'er smiled and said, "Hmm, then let's wait until noon to make something delicious."

With that, she took the loofah sponge and went outside to clean the tub.

Zi An followed her to help.

Xiao Qingming glanced at Ji Wan'er's figure and then at the pickled vegetables and steamed bun in his hand. Suddenly, they didn't seem as appetizing. Lunchtime was approaching, so he put the remaining half of the bun back into the basket and returned to his room.

After cleaning the items, everyone took a rest.

Back in her room, Ji Wan'er took out her purse and counted the money.

Today, they sold a total of twenty-five bowls of tofu nao, priced at two wen per bowl, earning fifty wen. She made over forty small cakes, gave away more than twenty of them, sold about twenty, and earned ten wen. So, in total, she made sixty wen.

However, the costs were not low either. She was generous with the oil, seasonings, and eggs. She had already calculated the costs for soybeans, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, eggs, and flour last night, amounting to more than twenty wen. Taking into account the oil, various spices, and seasonings she used, she estimated that the total cost was around thirty wen.

After finishing the calculations, Ji Wan'er was stunned.

So, she earned thirty wen this morning?

Ji Wan'er counted again and finally confirmed that she did indeed earn thirty wen.

She had heard that her neighbor, Xiao Dajiang, could earn around fifteen to twenty wen a day when he went to work in town, but not every day.

Earning thirty wen in one day was quite a lot.

This was only the first day, and she believed she would earn even more in the future.

Although she had confidence in her cooking, Ji Wan'er still felt relieved as she looked at the coins in her hand. At least one thing was certain now - no matter what happens in the future, she wouldn't starve here with her own two hands, right?

The thirty wen wasn't earned by her alone. Without the help of Yun Shuang and Zi An, she wouldn't have been able to earn this much. They also had their share of the money.

Ji Wan'er went to the kitchen and took some ash from the pot to write down the amount of money they earned today on the wall.

She used simple numbers that others couldn't understand.

Ji Wan'er originally planned to rest for a while, but with nothing else to do, she slowly drifted off to sleep. She slept for half an hour and woke up, realizing that it was almost noon.

After waking up, she felt refreshed. Seeing that it was not yet time for a meal, she went back to tending the land.

Yun Shuang had been playing outside with the neighboring child, Man'er, but when she saw Ji Wan'er working, she quickly returned home.

Man'er followed her as well.

"Sister-in-law."

"Aunt."

"Hey, you two go and play. There's only a little work to be done," Ji Wan'er said.

Yun Shuang was still a child and had been busy working all morning, so she was probably tired.

"There's nothing interesting to play with anyway," Yun Shuang tidied up the land that Ji Wan'er had turned over, removing any impurities and breaking up large clumps of soil.
