The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

At the hour of Yin, Guo Xin opened his eyes and looked at the familiar environment. He decided to forget the sadness for the time being and continue living.

The stall was going to serve new dishes today, so Guo Ruo got up early in the morning and was busy in the kitchen. When he saw Guo Xin coming over, he whispered, "Erya, I've prepared the dishes for the stall."

Looking at the cart which was loaded with much more things than the day before, Guo Xin pushed it but was unable to move it.

Seeing this, Guo Ruo hurried to help and whispered, "Let's just buy a donkey cart today, otherwise it will be very tiring to push it to the town to set up a stall every day."

Guo Xin turned her head and looked at Guo Ruo in surprise. She really didn't expect that her elder sister, who had always been frugal, would take the initiative to propose to buy a donkey cart.

Guo Ruo naturally felt the burning gaze, and her face became hot. She knew what it meant, and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted a donkey cart?"

"I also did the math. We sold 180 bowls yesterday, for a total of 1,797 coins. After deducting the 800 coins we have to pay my uncle for vegetables today, we still have less than 1,000 coins left.

We are also selling some new food today, so we will definitely sell it all. After selling more than 300 grams of food today, it will be more than enough to buy a car."

Seeing that Guo Xin still didn't say anything, he continued to explain: "Besides, the weather is getting colder and colder. I'm afraid it will snow soon. The road will be difficult to travel. If we have a donkey cart, it will be convenient to go to the county town."

Guo Xin hummed meaningfully and said, "I know ~ it's because the road is difficult to walk on."

Guo Ruo's face turned even redder. Her second sister clearly knew that she bought it because she felt sorry for her, and she kept teasing her, wanting her to say it directly. But how could she say it? She had never said such words before.

When they arrived at the original stall, they started busying themselves.

Because we have set up an extra stove today, the space it occupies is much larger than yesterday, so I am going to make a new snack, which is absolutely delicious when paired with duck blood vermicelli soup.

Before the stall was set up, the aunt who brought the little kid here yesterday had already arrived. When she saw Guo Xin, she said, "My dear, I came early today and brought a lunch box with me. Your seat is too small to accommodate so many people."

And when I went back and told my friend about it yesterday, he also missed it, so he gave me five bowls today."

"Okay, but I'm not that fast yet." Guo Xin helped Guo Ruo set up the stall, while watching the fire on the stove, and replied: "Today I have a new food on my stall, it's new and delicious, would you like to have one, auntie?"

"What kind of food is this and how much is it?"

"Shengjian vegetarian buns, vegetarian stuffing, three cents each, five cents for two."

"Then give me four. The duck blood vermicelli is very delicious. I think the fried vegetarian buns are not bad either." The aunt said while looking at the stove.

Two wooden barrels were placed next to the newly built stove. When they were opened, one barrel was filled with fermented dough and the other was filled with vegetarian stuffing.

Although the vegetarian filling is not as fragrant as the meat filling, it has a very beautiful color and is very appetizing at first glance. It is made of fried golden eggs, soaked vermicelli and black fungus, chopped cabbage and mushrooms, and seasoned with soy sauce, salt and a little oil to create a salty and fresh taste.

The dough is made from specially fermented Physalis, and water filtered through dry straw ash is added to neutralize the sour taste of the fermented Physalis.

Finally, place a small bowl of chopped green onions and fried white sesame seeds.

Seeing that the fire was almost lit, Guo Xin fried the steamed buns while looking at the vermicelli.

Pour homemade rapeseed oil into a flat iron pan, put in the exquisitely wrapped vegetarian dumplings, pour in water mixed with flour, cover with a wooden lid, simmer for a few minutes, open the lid, and white smoke will rush out. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and the color is extremely beautiful.

He picked up the buns with a wooden spatula, revealing the golden skin. A unique aroma of steamed buns emanated from the buns, and soon the whole West Market could smell it.

When the steamed buns were ready, I packed four for the aunt first and put them in an oil paper bag, steaming hot.

"Auntie, here you go, it's guaranteed to be delicious!" Guo Xin handed it over and then put the duck blood vermicelli soup into her aunt's food box.

Due to the reputation spread from yesterday's stall, the stall was already crowded with people. When they smelled the freshly baked vegetarian dumplings, they couldn't help but shout out curiously, "Miss, what new delicacy did you make? It smells so good!"

Today, Guo Xin was in charge of two stoves by himself and was only concerned with feeding his subordinates. When he heard this, he did not look up, but just turned his head and shouted to prevent the saliva in his mouth from accidentally spilling into the pot.

"Shengjian vegetarian buns, vegetarian stuffing, three cents each, five cents for two, paired with duck blood vermicelli soup, it's the most delicious in this winter!"

The people in front of the stall stretched their heads to look at the other stove. The bottom of the plump white vegetarian buns was golden yellow, and they were still greasy when they were scooped out. This was a great temptation for less wealthy families.

Because the Sheng Jian Bao was so delicious, many customers stood by and ate it as soon as they got it. The crispy skin made a crackling sound when they bit into it, and the filling was salty and delicious. They couldn't help but exclaimed: "My dear, this is so delicious. It would be really delicious if it goes with your soup!!"

These words of praise made the people in the queue behind even more anxious. They kept looking at the decreasing noodles in the wooden barrel, worried that they would not be able to buy any.

The noodle stall next to it was also full of people, all holding pan-fried buns in their hands, taking a bite of the bun and a sip of soup, looking very satisfied.

"Girl, my family wants twenty vegetarian steamed buns and five bowls of duck blood and vermicelli soup. Please bring your own food box." A male voice came from above.

Hearing this familiar voice, the two people who had been working hard looked up at the man. Wasn't that Pei Yuan?

"Young master, you come here to buy food, so how can I charge you? I'll just give it to you for free." Guo Xin said with a smile.

"I bought it for someone else, so I'll take it." Pei Yuan didn't care about this little money at all, and this was not bought for himself, but for His Highness. He was just an errand boy. But it really smelled good, and when he returned later, he would ask His Highness to give him some.

Guo Ruo looked carefully at the man in front of her. She was a little frightened yesterday, and since it was their first meeting, she didn't dare to look closely. She was a little surprised at this moment.

This man with such great martial arts skills was surprisingly fair-skinned, with delicate features, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. He looked exactly like a pale-faced scholar in an academy.

Seeing Guo Ruo staring at him, he joked, "Why, girl, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

After saying that, he touched his face with his hand.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ruo's face immediately burned hot. He did not dare to look up and whispered, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised to see that you don't look like a martial artist."

"This is indeed strange. When I was born, everyone thought I was a top-three candidate in the imperial examination. Who could have thought that I would become a martial artist? I even had a big fight with my family because of my martial arts training."

Pei Yuan explained with a smile, but it was difficult to tell whether the words were true or false.
