The Little Lucky Girl

Ming Youyou recalled: "When I came in, I saw two people drinking tea."

Zheng Huan and the others looked at the stone table in the yard. The table was empty with only some leaves fallen on it.

Lu Tai swept the fallen leaves away with his hands. "It's a pity that it rained last night. Now there are no traces of tea stains on the table."

Feng Xu picked up the leaves and took a look. "Look, these are all fresh leaves. They just fell in the past one or two days. This proves that someone cleaned them up before."

Zheng Huan shook his head. "Maybe a gust of wind blew away all the leaves. That doesn't mean anything."

He turned to Ming Youyou, "What did you do after you saw them?"

"Just talk to them."

"How do you talk? Do you talk while standing or sitting?"

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up, "Let's talk while sitting down. They have two reclining chairs."

A few people went to look at the marks on the ground, but unfortunately the rain had soaked the soil. They stepped on it back and forth, but could not find the imprint of the chair legs.

Zheng Huan thought for a moment and said, "I remember you said before that you ate a lot of fruits here."

"Yeah, I ate two peaches, a pear and a loquat." She remembered what she ate very clearly.

"Is it tasty?"

Seeing Ming Youyou nodded, Zheng Huan and the others laughed, "Then where did you plant them?"

The three knew that people in this place had the habit of planting delicious fruits wherever they could, just like Xiaguan Village, where the fruit trees at the entrance of their riverside village came from.

Ming Youyou pointed to a corner of the yard and said, "It seems to be there."

Several people started looking for it.

The pits of peaches and loquats are small and hard to see, but pear pits are easy to find. After a while, Feng Xu pinched a pear pit with a leaf and asked, "Is this it?"

Zheng Huan took it and said, "Judging from the freshness, it is from the past few days, so it should be it."

He buried the pear core back in the soil, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we have investigated it clearly, let's go."

Feng Xu glared, "What do you mean?"

Lu Tai explained: "The discovery of the pear core proves that what happened before did happen in this yard."

"But we haven't found anyone yet, and what's going on with the dust in the house?" Ming Youyou also asked puzzled.

"I think they were probably just resting here that day, and they lived somewhere else," Zheng Huan said. "They probably wanted to hide away because they were afraid of being discovered."

"Let's leave first. Maybe someone is watching us nearby. It makes us feel uneasy." Lu Tai urged.

"Now that you mention it, I feel the same way." Feng Xu hissed, "Don't say anything, let me be quiet."

The others immediately fell silent. One of the skills Feng Xu practiced was to develop his hearing ability in order to prevent himself from being shot by the enemy on the battlefield.

He closed his eyes and listened for a while. He seemed to really hear the light breathing nearby. He opened his eyes and mouthed to them: "Someone."

Since the other party doesn't want to come out to meet them, they should stop disturbing them and the three of them prepared to leave.

Ming Youyou thought for a moment, took out a small cake from his sleeve pocket, placed it on the stone table, and said loudly, "I'll treat you."

The storage function was not turned off when the system went into sleep mode, so she was still able to take things out.

They left the yard, and after walking a few steps, Feng Xu suddenly turned around and ran back. The other three immediately followed him. When they ran back, they found that the cake was gone.

"Look, the branches over there are shaking slightly," Feng Xu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "This person must have flown over there. His Qinggong skills are amazing."

Lu Tai was very curious about the cake. "That person was determined to get it even if he was discovered. Is there anything special about this food?"

Ming Youyou chuckled, "It must be that old man who forced him to take it."

She thought she still had a lot of pieces, so she generously gave one to everyone, "Try it, it's delicious."

The cake shop was having its anniversary two days ago, and there was a buy one get one free cake promotion. She was so excited that she rushed to the research institute to practice questions. In the end, she earned 50 points, which she exchanged for 10 small cakes.

Without the system watching her, she became distracted and took out pieces one by one from her sleeve pocket.

Zheng Huan and Lu Tai glanced at her sleeves and saw how light and fluttery they were. Could it be that she could be so pretentious?

Feng Xu didn't think too much about it. He took a bite and said, "Why does this smell seem familiar? Oh, I remember you smelled this way before. Great, you actually ate it alone."

Ming Youyou regretted giving it to him, but she also felt a little guilty. After all, the three of them would pick her first, so she quietly defended herself, "This is precious and hard to buy."

When Zheng Huan heard this, he handed back the cake in his hand and said, "Then you can keep it for yourself."

Ming Youyou gave Feng Xu a look that said "just look at him" and then smiled at Zheng Huan, "Eat it. I have more."

When the system had fully charged its energy early the next morning, it discovered that the host had dropped all the cakes if it hadn't been watching carefully. It was silent for a second and reminded her of the precautions again.

Ming Youyou yawned, "It's okay, they're not that smart, and they've already finished eating."

The system flashed, "For safety reasons, host, you should not eat recently."

She immediately protested, "It's so hard to have a promotion, I'd be a fool not to buy now."

The system warned: "The aroma of the cake is still very obvious. They have already eaten it. If you eat it in the future, it may be guessed."

"Then please invite them to eat together."

"But only you can buy this thing. Don't you think they won't be suspicious?"

Seeing that the host yawned again, obviously not paying attention, the system said helplessly: "Why don't you learn to do it yourself, and you can save points, which is great."

Ming Youyou yawned halfway, "Can I do this too? Don't you say there are some things we don't have here?"

"You don't have additives like pigments and flavors here, but it's not impossible to make an improved version."

She shrugged. "Is the improved version delicious?"

"According to reviews, the taste is good, and this kind of handmade healthy food is also highly praised by people in our area."

As long as it tastes good, she has no objection. "Then how should I make it?"

"First you need an oven and a human whisk..."

She asked Guo Dalang to build an earthen stove for the oven, and a human-shaped whisk. Hehe, Feng Xu's marksmanship was not practiced in vain. With his thick arms, he can finish several servings by himself.

It contains eggs, sugar, and has a soft texture. As long as it is not burnt, ancient children would think it tastes delicious no matter how they cook it.

After their craft became stable, they would go to the small courtyard in the back hill every day to put a piece of cake, then go out and come back, watching it disappear, and then leave happily.

Feng Xu was a little confused, "Why do we have to do this?"

Lu Tai chuckled and said, "Do you think this is like fishing?"
