Chapter 98: Making moon cakes at night, eating instant noodles and drinking Coke in the system room

Taozi looked at it, walked over and picked up the oil lamp.

"Yu'er, take a break."

Cheng Yu asked, "Is Sister Yan asleep?"

"I'm asleep. Madam Li put me to sleep." Taozi said as she took over Cheng Yu's job of washing the groceries. "You should also go and have a rest. I haven't seen you stop all day."

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I still have to prepare the ingredients for making mooncakes."

"Is the stove cleaned?"

I asked Zhang, the food deliveryman, to help me with the custom-made oven. The bricklayer he found was cheap and the quality of the work was very good.

This stove was designed by Cheng Yu herself, and she likes it quite a lot.

This morning Cheng Yu went out and asked Taozi to do the cleaning.

Taozi said quickly, "It's cleaned. I also went to the blacksmith shop to get the baking tray you asked for. I washed it and put it in the kitchen."

Cheng Yu praised happily.

"Taozi is still efficient, I like her the most."

Taozi also started laughing and worked harder.

Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and the rest depends on Cheng Yu.

Of course, mooncakes cannot be sold until the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are sold in advance, and some are even ordered three months in advance.

It's already very late for Cheng Yu to sell mooncakes in early August.

She hurried to make mooncakes overnight.

Cheng Yu was busy, and Taozi and Li Niangzi were not idle either.

After coaxing the child to sleep, everyone started to help Cheng Yu make mooncakes.

The stove is easy to use and the mooncakes are baked crispy and fragrant.

Madam Li ate the crispy mooncakes made by Cheng Yu and praised them highly.

"I used to make a lot of mooncakes every year in the palace. I also made puff pastry, but they were not as delicious as yours. They are sweet but not greasy, and they also have so many dried fruits in them."

"This year, we will focus on selling five-nut mooncakes, and also sell some red bean paste and jujube paste mooncakes."

Cheng Yu placed the baked mooncakes on the baking tray to cool and continued to make the next batch.

Her stove isn't very big, so she can only make thirty at a time.

The mooncakes she made were generally not big, about the size of an adult's palm. She also made twenty large ones. Only ten of these large mooncakes could be made on a baking tray. Some people bought small ones, while others bought large ones.

Cheng Yu was busy until the middle of the night before returning to his room to rest.

Seeing how tired she was, Madam Li took the initiative to take care of the baby at night. Taozi slept in the outer room. If the child woke up, Taozi would get up, hold the child, make some milk powder, and coax the child.

After Cheng Yu returned to the house, he locked the door first and then entered the system's warehouse.

She got a bucket of instant noodles, two sausages, and a boiled egg from the store, boiled hot water to soak the noodles first, and then she took a quick shower and came out with the noodles just ready to eat.

Also don't forget to open a bottle of Coke.

Iced Coke is so delicious.

At this moment, Cheng Yu looked at himself wrapped in a bathrobe, eating instant noodles and drinking Coke. It was exactly like he was living in modern times, and nothing in the environment had changed.

But at dawn, she still had to put on ancient people's clothes and go to work in a place called ancient times.

There is endless work to do all day.

Eat well, drink enough, and throw away the garbage.

However, the garbage thrown away in the system must be strictly separated into dry and wet types. There will be advanced trash cans specially designed for handling garbage in the system, which will automatically handle any garbage generated by the host in the system warehouse.

However, there is a fee.

Each payment is based on the value of the garbage. If the garbage can be recycled, you will pay less if you throw it away.

But if it has no use value at all and instead consumes the system's internal energy, you will have to pay more.

However, this money is still affordable for Cheng Yu.

After all, the house provided by the system does not require rent or mortgage repayment.

After washing up, Cheng Yu went to bed. The system customized a large bed, which was 1.8 meters x 2 meters. It was completely suitable for sleeping vertically, horizontally, or rolling around.

The next day, the alarm clock set in advance will remind her to get up and start a new day as a worker.

Pushing open the door and looking at the sunshine filling the yard, Cheng Yu felt very happy.

It would be best if nothing happened to the lady and she didn't have to worry about these things.

The lady was kind to her, and she must remember this kindness. No matter what, she must find a way to rescue the lady.

If he really can't be rescued...

Cheng Yu had never thought about this.

As soon as she got up, she began to pack the mooncakes that had been dried last night into wooden barrels and move them to the outside of the braised meat shop to sell.

"Yu'er, why don't you sleep a little longer?" asked Madam Li.

"I woke up and still wanted to save more money. I can't just think about sleeping." Cheng Yu said, taking out the mooncakes with cracks. One of the mooncakes was baked for too long. His eyes looked a little unhappy. "Master, keep these bad ones, so that we don't have to sell them out and ruin our reputation."

Madam Li said, "I will do as you say."

"Yu'er, when will you go see the lady again?"

"Master, do you have anything to say?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Nothing, I just want to ask, can I tell everyone that you are the child's mother? Is this feasible?"

Some people have also come to check on people's place of origin.

Madam Li said that she and Taozi were bought by her mother.

Cheng Yu paid money to make fake identities for Li Niangzi and Taozi. There was no indenture, so he used someone else's identity. Otherwise, they would be illegal residents when they go out, and they would not know where to find anyone if they were caught.

There is no problem with the child's surname being Lu, but when others asked who the child belonged to, Madam Li wanted to say that there was nothing safer than saying that the child was Cheng Yu's.

But Cheng Yu was an unmarried girl, so she asked Cheng Yu about this matter first, and then wanted Cheng Yu to ask the lady if she was willing.

Cheng Yu frowned and looked at Madam Li.

"But who talked nonsense?"

Madam Li said nothing, fearing that the trivial things said outside would upset Cheng Yu.

Taozi said directly, "It was none other than the old lady next door named Wang. She was so careless. She said, look, Yu'er, you are a grown-up girl. We picked up this child. She also said, we will report it to the police. She said there are many kidnappers who steal children nowadays. She said we don't look like a good family, etc."

"That old lady Wang is a chatterbox. She stares at me every day and asks me random questions. I'm too lazy to deal with her, so I never talked to her. I didn't expect that she would make up stories about me behind my back."

"Mrs. Li is worried that if she talks nonsense like this, someone with ulterior motives will hear us and say that we have kidnapped the child and then captured the young lady."

"She is so young. If she is really sent to prison, there is no chance of her surviving."

Even if Madam Li doesn't say it, Taozi will.

Because of their special identities, they dare not have any relationship with the government.

Whenever someone from the government came, even if there was nothing serious, they would be tortured or spend a large sum of money to bribe them.

"Then I will go to the prison to see the lady tomorrow and seek her advice. Besides, it won't be a problem for me to make some announcements to the public. I will dress up as a lady tomorrow. At most, I can just say that I am a widow whose husband has died, so as to avoid those gossipy people asking me all sorts of questions."

Madam Li looked at Cheng Yu and said, "I pity you. An unmarried girl has to dress like a lady. Yu'er, I really wronged you."

"I don't feel wronged at all. I just want to survive."
