Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Sister, don't die."

"Woo woo woo, please wake up soon, okay? If you wake up, I'll give you the caramel candy I secretly saved."

I heard the sound of a child crying softly, and then a stream of bitter water poured into my throat, nasal cavity, chin, and even neck.

"Cough cough." Su An was almost choked to death by the water that poured into his nasal cavity. He finally struggled to open his eyes.

A mud house, paper-pasted windows, and a dim room.

A little girl lay beside Su An's head, trying to lift her head and give her water.

Seeing that she was awake, the girl's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Sister, you are awake!"

As she spoke, she excitedly shouted out the door: "Second brother, third brother, eldest sister is awake!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, two boys rushed in from outside, one after the other. The bigger one of them was holding a bunch of half-cut wild vegetables in his hand. Judging from his appearance, he must be cooking.

"Sister, you finally woke up. Are you hungry? Eat bird eggs." The short boy had already rushed to Su An's side. He reached into his arms, took out a few small bird eggs, and handed them to Su An like treasures.

These were the bird eggs he had dug out all day yesterday. He couldn't bear to eat any of them, so he left them all for his elder sister, hoping to nourish her body.

Miss?

What elder sister?

Su An stared blankly at the three little kids standing in front of her, her head buzzing.

She is an orphan who has been learning cooking from her master since she was young. Where did she get brothers and sisters?

I haven't heard that the master has accepted a new disciple?!

"I..." She opened her mouth, a hoarse voice coming out of her throat, and was about to ask.

Suddenly, countless memories exploded in her head, and the pain made her eyes go black.

It took Su An a long time to come to his senses and understand his current situation.

She, an outstanding graduate of the culinary program at Huaxia Agricultural University, had painstakingly studied cooking for twenty years and finally became the head chef of a private restaurant. But then she slept and inexplicably traveled back to ancient times?!

Now she has become a sickly girl of fifteen years old who died of anger because her fiancé Chen Shimei broke off the engagement with her!

The original owner's father died early, and his mother opened a mediocre pancake shop alone to support the family.

The children in front of him were the original owner's three younger siblings, the second oldest Su Jiang, the third oldest Su Yan, and the youngest sister Su Yue.

"Sister, eat quickly." Seeing that Su An did not move for a long time, the third brother Su Yan quickly cracked open a bird egg, peeled it and stuffed it into Su An's mouth.

Su An was about to speak when a bird egg was stuffed into his mouth, so he had to chew it.

When Su Yan saw that she had eaten it, he started to crack other bird eggs and even pulled his brother Su Jiang to join in.

At this moment, the younger sister Su Yue also came over. She stretched out her hand and said in a childish voice, "Big sister, I'll give you some malt sugar. You'll get better soon after eating it."

There was half a piece of malt candy in the soft palm.

Maybe it has been hidden for too long and has melted a little.

Su An raised her eyes and met the little girl's big, sincere eyes. Those round almond eyes were full of love and worry for her.

For some reason, Su An's originally flustered and confused heart suddenly calmed down.

She reached out and touched the little girl's soft bun, and said gently: "Big sister doesn't want to eat it, Yue'er keeps it for herself."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the two little boys who were cracking the bird eggs and said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Yan, don't peel them. Keep the eggs for yourselves."

How could she, an adult, have the nerve to covet the food of three children?

The three little rascals looked at each other, shook their heads, and still insisted on letting Su An eat.

Su An opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again.

Sudden--

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside, breaking the warmth in the room.

"Li Guihua! Open the door! The time is almost here, pay me back!"

"If you don't have the money to pay me back, then use your yard as collateral!"

There was a sudden shouting and cursing outside the door, which scared the children so much that they trembled.

Seeing the kicking sounds getting more and more intense, Su An frowned, got up from the bed, and walked out the door.

Unexpectedly, she had just taken a step when her hand was grabbed.

It was the second oldest, Su Jiang. He took a few steps forward, walked in front of Su An, pursed his lips and said, "It's my cousin, here to ask for money. Mother borrowed money from him before... I'll go out and tell him, big sister, you stay home."

My eldest sister is weak. She was seriously ill a few days ago and was on the verge of death. She just got better today and she can't be stimulated.

Upon hearing this, Su An searched his memory and finally recalled that the original owner's mother, Li Guihua, had indeed borrowed ten taels of silver from his uncle half a year ago.

For...

It was to raise money for the original owner's poor fiancé so that he could go to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination.

Her fiancé passed the imperial examination successfully and became a juren. After returning home, he never mentioned their engagement. He accepted the five taels of silver celebratory gift from the original owner's family and moved his entire family to the provincial capital.

Before leaving, he allowed his mother to insult the original owner in the street, saying things like "lowly", "wanting to climb up the social ladder", "no self-awareness", "a wild chicken wanting to be a phoenix" and so on.

For a time, rumors spread, and their whole family left. However, the original owner suffered a lot. He was already a sickly person, and was attacked by rumors. Unable to bear the humiliation, he fell ill and died.

Thinking of the original owner's fiancé Chen Shimei, and then looking at the poor family now, Su An's heart choked.

But no matter how angry I am inside, now is not the time to think about these things.

Su An frowned and was about to step forward to stop Su Jiang at the door, but he saw that he had already walked through the lobby and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged man with a ferocious look on his face and a heavy face.

It was their cousin, the original owner's father's cousin.

"Where's your mother? You didn't pay me back when the time came, so why are you hiding in the house pretending to be dead?!" Seeing that it was Su Jiang who came out, his cousin Su Dabao immediately rolled his eyes and cursed, "Hurry up, get your mother out! Sign the deed and transfer my shop to me!"

As he spoke, he reached out to push Su Jiang, his eyes scanning the shop greedily.

This shop is really nice.

The location is good, just opposite the county school gate.

Although the shop is not big, it has a backyard with two rooms for living and a well. It can be sold for a minimum of three hundred taels.

It was worth it that he set up the trap. He deliberately told the rumors to Su An to suppress her mentally, and bribed the doctor to give Su An, the sickly woman, strong medicine, which made her seriously ill and made Li Guihua spend all the money she had saved in the past six months.

That bitch Li Guihua said a few days ago that she would come to pay him back, but now she can’t pay it back, right?

In the end, the shop still belongs to him!

Su Dabao was feeling very proud, but was waved away by Su Jiang.

Su Jiang gritted his teeth and stood in front of the door, staring at Su Dabao with his black pupils.

Su Dabao felt his whole body crawl under his gaze. He shuddered and angrily cursed, "What are you looking at, you little bastard? If you keep staring at me, I'll dig out your eyes!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the room, "And the rest of you, get out of my shop right now!"

At this moment, a clear and cold female voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him: "Uncle, if I remember correctly, the repayment date should be tomorrow."
