When I woke up, I was the only one left in the room.

It was already dark, and there were muffled voices outside.

Xu Si quickly got up, put on his coat and went out.

"Second aunt, you're awake." Qi Ning ran over excitedly when he saw the door open.

Xu Si couldn't help but touch his little head. Just after waking up, there was such a little baby calling him in a soft and sweet voice. No one could resist such temptation.

Qinghuan was watering the vegetable patch, on which some scattered sprouts had sprouted.

"A Si, thank you for your hard work today." Shen Anyi was sitting on a chair in the yard to enjoy the breeze, and looked over when he heard this.

"No, everyone is working very hard."

Xu Si told the truth, she just looked particularly tired because she was still young.

Although Lou Yuexin is already a grandmother, she is only 36 years old now, and Su Jinyue is only 20. They both got married at the age of 16.

At the age of 16, Xu Si was still sleepy. He would sneak snacks in class and squeeze out time to read novels. He looked forward to eating the most every day and was often the first one to run to the cafeteria.

There are papers one after another, and I can never finish them. What’s more frightening is that I can’t even write half of the answers.

"Come and eat." Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue brought out the meal, and everyone stood up.

"I have learned a little from Asi these days. Although I am not as good as her, I should have made progress. You can try it." Lou Yuexin said with a smile.

On the table was potato risotto and a plate of cold cucumber salad.

Potato stewed rice is very simple, and the meal can be cooked in one pot. Lou Yuexin was particularly interested in it when she first saw it, as it suits her very well.

First, stir-fry the diced meat. After it changes color, add the diced potatoes, garlic and onions, other side dishes, and seasonings. Add hot water to cover the ingredients. After stewing for a while, put the soaked rice into the pot, cover it and simmer for a while.

They already know the function of each seasoning, and for fear of not using the right amounts, they use less. Although the flavor isn't as strong, it's still much better than what most people eat.

If you want to learn these skills outside, you have to find a master to learn from, and you may even help in the kitchen for a few years and not learn anything.

Like them, as long as they want to learn, Xu Si will teach them everything he knows. If others knew about it, they would definitely be envious.

Seeing Lou Yuexin looking at them expectantly, Xu Si took a bite. Hmm, the taste was a little bland, but overall it tasted good.

"It's very good," Xu Si praised.

"There has been a lot of progress," Shen Anyi nodded, thinking back to the beginning when they couldn't even cook properly and everyone was vomiting and having diarrhea after eating. Now their cooking skills are simply delicious.

The others praised her, and Lou Yuexin's smile grew wider, making her more motivated.

After the meal, the dishes were cleared away and everyone sat at the dining table under the dim light, looking at the pile of copper coins in front of them.

Lou Yuexin counted them carefully, dividing every hundred coins into a pile.

"A total of 644 coins." She counted many times and finally came to the conclusion, her whole body revealing joy.

Hearing this number, everyone was excited.

"There are still costs to be calculated," Xu Si interrupted their enthusiasm.

"Today, I spent 100 wen on vegetables and meat, and about 130 wen on rice. Let's say 40 wen was spent on seasonings, oil, firewood, etc., for a total of 270 wen. The meal for the eight of us is also included in this, so the net profit is 8 wen."

Lou Yuexin took out her account book and quickly figured out the amount since it was all her money.

"I earned 374 Wen in one day, which is nearly half of the profit. I didn't expect selling food to be so profitable." Su Jinyue sighed.

Of course, compared to the more than ten taels of profit a day from their dowry shop, this amount was pitifully small, but it already surprised them.

"That's not the case. It's because Asi's cooking is delicious, otherwise it wouldn't sell so well." Shen Anyi said gently.

"Not counting Qi Ning, if it's shared among the five of us, each person would be close to 5 wen. Husband, why don't you stop working at the docks and sell food with us instead."

Lou Yue did some calculations and realized that they used to earn 40 cents a day working hard at the dock, but now they can earn that much by just working hard for half a day.

This is because they are short of manpower. If two more people join in, they might be able to sell even more.

The most important thing is that she feels too sorry for the two of them. If there are other sources of income, it is better for the workers not to work.

Shen Anyi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's continue doing this for now. If the food business is stable, we will quit and come back to help you."

He needs to think more about it and there is no rush to quit his job.

“Dad is right, we sold so much because it was the first day, and many people bought out of curiosity.

Potatoes and carrots are cheap today, and if we change the dishes in the future, the cost will be higher.

Besides, the flow of people at the dock is not fixed, and it is impossible for people to be willing to spend money to eat here every day.”

Xu Si reviewed today's situation and had a rough estimate in his mind.

"Okay, let's take a look at it later. I was too anxious." After hearing this, Lou Yuexin felt that it made sense. She could only let them be tired for a while longer.

But there is always hope, and everyone has a relaxed smile on their face.

"All this is thanks to Ah Si." Shen Anyi sighed. The only good thing the prince and his men did was to give them such an excellent daughter-in-law.

"If it were just me, I wouldn't be able to do this. It's the result of everyone's concerted efforts," said Xu Si.

Shen Anyi even felt that Xu Si was a person who did not take credit for himself. The main reason he was able to do this business was because of his cooking skills.

After sleeping for a whole afternoon today, Xu Si didn't feel sleepy at all while lying in bed.

Shen Yanchen has been very quiet ever since she scolded him, which makes people a little uncomfortable.

Xu Si turned over and pretended to accidentally kick him, but he didn't hear any reaction from him.

How can this be cold and violent to others? She can't stand this the most.

"Hey, why don't you speak?" Xu Si couldn't help but say.

"I'm sorry." Shen Yanchen's muffled voice came from the darkness. He hadn't apologized to anyone yet.

"I didn't force you to apologize," Xu Si said hurriedly, fearing that the other party would think that he asked him to speak in order to ask him to apologize.

"I know," Shen Yanchen did feel that what he said in the afternoon was too much.

But why was her reaction different from what she expected? He apologized, so shouldn't she accept it joyfully and forgive him?

Xu Si suddenly didn't know what to say to him. She should be happy that he apologized, but she also felt it was boring.

Could it be that you just like others to go against you?

She shouldn't be that abnormal. Maybe she was just not used to him admitting his mistakes.

"Can you promise me something?"

Shen Yanchen's voice gave her a startle. Come on, come on, there must be something fishy.

"You say." Xu Si was a little wary.

"Call me if there's anything you need me to do tomorrow," Shen Yanchen said a little awkwardly, but added, "I'll do it well."
