I survived as a female assassin

Mu Yuan's sudden words were like enlightenment to Xin Youran.

"Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan, your brain is broken, but it's still working so well?"

"Thanks!"

Xin Youran ran out humming a little tune happily.

It's still early, she needs to plan carefully how to deal with that shorty.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

I can’t go to Piaoxiang Pavilion anymore, so I’ll go ask other people in the village.

For example, the little one next door who cries every day because of greed~

An eight or nine-year-old kid like this is definitely the village's intelligence expert.

Xin Youran first went to the kitchen to see what ingredients were available. There didn’t seem to be many vegetables in the cabinet under the chopping board, but there were still two potatoes. That was it!

Just make some fried potato chips, and the ones you make yourself can be the same as the ones you buy in the supermarket.

If you ask her how she did it, it's because she is also a big foodie. Others spend their weekends researching which comic convention to go to, which scenic spot to visit, or even going to the amusement park, but she is a bit weird. She likes to research all kinds of delicious food by herself at home.

The most popular apps on my phone are Xiachufang, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin. When I open the app, all I see are recipes for various dishes.

Without further ado, I have to defeat the little guy next door when making these fried potato chips today!

First peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, translucent slices. Then wash them with water until there is no cloudiness. Then add clean water to the pot and bring the water to a boil.

Well, boiling the pot is a very difficult problem for Xin Youran. She tried many times last time but failed.

This time, he could only silently pray for Buddha's blessing in his heart. He tried to light the firewood at least five times before it was finally lit. Xin Youran carefully put the lit firewood into the pot hole and added softer firewood little by little.

Oh my god, the fire was finally lit, and the water boiled in a short while. She first put a little salt in the boiling water, and then put the washed potato slices into the pot and cooked until the potatoes were 90% cooked.

Take out the potato slices and drain the water, then pour out the water from the pot and pour in the oil.

Uh, oil should be a relatively expensive commodity here, right?

I'm sorry, Master's wife. I'll make it up to you later.

Seeing that the pot was dry, Xin Youran poured most of the oil from her master's oil can into the pot.

After a while, when the oil is slightly hot, put the cooked potato slices into the pan and stir gently in one direction with chopsticks until each potato slice turns golden yellow. At this time, take out a small frame and put the fried potato slices into the small frame.

Hehehe, it’s done!

Xin Youran began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to see what seasonings were available, some salt, some pepper, cumin powder, and pepper.

I didn't expect it to be quite complete.

Shake the seasoning in the small basket evenly, and you’ll have spicy potato chips!

The aroma was so strong that Xin Youran couldn't help but taste one. It was crispy, salty and delicious.

She didn't expect to be able to taste the familiar flavor in this strange dynasty, and she couldn't help but eat several more.

Master, mistress, and Mu Yuan have definitely never eaten such delicious potato chips. No, they have probably never seen them before, hehe.

Xin Youran took a clean white linen, put some things in it and wrapped it up, holding it in her hand, and was about to go find the little guy next door.

Suddenly I thought, isn’t Mu Yuan at home?

He can definitely eat these delicious potato chips while they’re hot!

So she took another small piece of white linen of the same size, packed it into a small bag, and handed it to Mu Yuan first.

I don't know what this guy is doing in the room in broad daylight.

"Mu Yuan?"

Xin Youran called out twice, but no one answered. "I made some delicious snacks and left them on your windowsill. Come and have a try when you have time."

Still no one answered.

Remembering that he still had important things to do, he didn't delay any longer and turned and ran to the kitchen.

I don’t know if the little one is at home at this time, so I can only try my luck.

She carried the packaged potato chips and went out for a long distance. Walking to the left, she found another yard next to the wall of her master's house, but this yard was much bigger than her master's house and the decoration was more magnificent. The door was closed at this time.

I also got a general idea from chatting with my master's wife. She said that this family was a concubine kept by a wealthy family in the capital.

On weekdays, there is only an old woman and the little girl and her daughter in such a big yard.

Xin Youran has been living here for several days and has never seen the little one's father.

Just as I was wondering whether to knock on the door, it suddenly opened from the inside and a small head popped out.

The moment he saw Xin Youran, he jumped out of the door.

"big sister!"

"Are you here to find me?"

Xin Youran found it quite sudden. She had wanted to find out where she was, but she didn't expect to see the little one so soon.

"Hey, how did you know? Did you smell the fragrance of our house?"

The little one pouted as if his thoughts were exposed, "No way!"

But her rosy face betrayed her.

Xin Youran slowly approached the little girl and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to try some of the snacks I made?"

The little one's ears moved. "What are snacks?"

"Snacks are just that, emmm, something that any little one would like to eat."

"Hey, I'm not a little kid! I'm going to be eight years old soon!"

Xin Youran: ...

Not even eight years old yet...

Could it be that I found the wrong person?

"Okay, it's okay if you don't call me Little One. Then let's introduce ourselves."

"My name is Xin Youran, you can call me Youyou."

"What about you, little one?"

The little fellow was like an angry pufferfish, with his hands on his hips and a pout on his lips. "I told you not to call me little one, I have a name, Li Yunying."

"My mother calls me Yingying. You, you can call me that too."

Xin Youran felt that this little meat bun was more and more adorable, especially when he was angry.

"Then Yingying, can you answer a few questions?"

"As a reward, I've prepared a snack for you that I just made."

As Xin Youran spoke, she stretched out her hand holding potato chips from behind her back.

I placed it near the little one's nose and shook it.

The little guy's nose kept twirling as he sniffed the fragrance, and he was drooling with greed.

At this moment, Xin Youran put the small cloth bag of potato chips behind her back and asked, "How's it going? Do you agree to the deal?"

As the fragrance faded, Yingying said loudly without thinking, "I agree!"

Hehehe, can’t I defeat you like that?
