Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 83 Those abs are really solid, hehe...
Zhao smiled and handed them two cream cakes: "You're in luck. Xia is making some new desserts. They'll be ready soon. Have two of these cream cakes first."
"Hey, this is different from the steamed cake before. Hmm? It's delicious. The outside is crispy, but the inside is soft. What is this white thing? It's soft and fluffy. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's just delicious."
"Cream, this white stuff is cream. Cakes are baked, not steamed."
Zhao looked as if she were proud of herself.
The man from the same village couldn't help but nod and keep praising it, while the other didn't say a word and just kept eating.
The cake wasn't big; it was gone in just a few bites.
"Our Xia girl is so clever," the man said with a smile after finishing his meal.
This statement was accepted by everyone, and Yu Banxia ignored them and continued to observe the oven.
When the incense burned out, I went forward and opened it. The flaky crust burst open, and the egg tart bubbled up. As soon as it came into contact with air, it slowly deflated.
It was done on the first try.
"The egg tarts are ready, Dad! Everyone come and have a taste!" Yu Banxia called out happily to the people inside the house.
Tiger was the first to rush over, excitedly shouting, "Auntie, what's an egg tart? Let me see!"
"Here you go, you little glutton." Yu Banxia gave him a plate, and Hu Zi took it but didn't eat it himself first.
He handed one to Yu Hongwen: "Grandpa, you eat first."
"Good, I haven't spoiled you for nothing," Yu Hongwen said with a smile.
Tiger chuckled and distributed the portions to his other friends, keeping the last one for himself.
Yu Banxia nodded with a smile, and Yu Bantao also came over carrying Yingyue.
"Second sister, you should try it."
"Okay, I'll try it." Yu Bantao took the thing she was handed over.
After Yu Banxia finished distributing the baked goods, she took one for herself and tasted it. Hmm, it tasted just like the ones sold in later generations.
They baked over 140 ovens at the same time.
After tasting it, Zhao was still not satisfied, but she still asked her question: "Xia girl, you said you wanted to sell it in town, but there are no ovens or ice cellars in town, how are you going to do that?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. I already had my brother-in-law arrange for someone to build a kiln in town."
"Let's sell the crispy cakes first, and postpone the egg tarts a little longer. We need to be able to sell rare items, do you understand?" After hearing Yu Banxia's words, Zhao and the others finally understood.
They all happily agreed and started learning how to make crispy cakes.
Yu Banxia leisurely lay down on the rocking chair and began to cultivate her wood-type supernatural abilities.
Yu Bantao and Yu Banyue, along with Yingyue and Xia Lian, were talking quietly not far away, picking vegetables and preparing side dishes, glancing at Yu Banxia from time to time.
If any children playing in the yard were to pass by, the Yu sisters would speak up to stop them.
Because Yu Banxia said that she might be cultivating while lying down.
A gentle breeze blows, and life is peaceful.
Summers in ancient times were not very hot.
As evening fell, Yu Banxia opened her eyes. Zhao was washing her hands by the well. She said cheerfully, "Xia'er, there isn't a single fly or mosquito in your house. How did you manage that?"
"My house is swarming with flies and mosquitoes. I get bitten all over every night."
Yu Banxia told her to wait a moment, then went to her room and brought back some medicinal stones she had made herself.
"I sprinkled this medicated stone inside my house and outside the fence, but I didn't do much. I'll research mosquito coils later, as they can repel mosquitoes."
When Yu Banxia saw that the other aunties were also looking at her, she quickly spoke up.
The women weren't upset, since it was Zhao who asked first, so it was normal to give it to her first.
"Xia girl, you don't need to work too hard. There will be free clinics starting tomorrow, and there will definitely be a lot of things to do. Did your third uncle tell you to have a few boys from the village accompany you to the clinic?"
An aunt spoke up.
Yu Banxia shook her head and then said, "There's no need to arrange any manpower. I've already spoken with the village head, and there will be constables to maintain order."
"Erniu and the others will also come with me. They used to be a local bully, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to mess with them."
"That's good, but you should still take a few younger men with you. They are all elder brothers from our own family, and we'll feel more at ease if they come with us."
Aunt Wen also spoke up.
Seeing this, Yu Banxia did not insist any further and smiled, agreeing.
After everyone washed their hands, they said goodbye and went home. Yu Banxia lay down again, surrounded by the sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking, feeling extremely comfortable.
A gentle breeze blows, the roses tremble slightly, and a fragrant aroma wafts through the air.
"Xiaxia, dinner's ready," Yu Banyue called out from the kitchen doorway.
Yu Banxia sighed and got up to walk towards the kitchen.
During dinner that evening, Mr. and Mrs. Yu Hongwen gave her some advice and then said nothing more.
After eating and taking a shower, Yu Banxia lay on the bed and fell asleep shortly afterward.
When Yu Banyue and Yu Bantao came in, they saw her sleeping soundly on the bed, and both of them felt a pang of heartache.
"Ever since she came back from her suicide attempt, she only rested for a few days before she started working tirelessly. At such a young age, she has shouldered too much responsibility."
"She used to be so useless, chasing after Xu Xiucai and clinging to him like a puppy, which gave us a headache."
“Now that she’s working so hard to make her family and the whole village rich, it breaks my heart to see her like this,” Yu Banyue said to her second sister, touching her cheek tenderly.
Yu Bantao sighed and sat down on the other side of Yu Banxia, saying softly, "Who says otherwise? Although my sister is capable, I am proud of her."
“But she’s become too capable now, and I feel uneasy about it. I feel like I’m useless, unable to help her, and she has to worry about everything.”
Yu Banyue nodded, and Yu Bantao took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's go outside to talk. Don't wake Xiaxia up. She'll be busy again starting tomorrow."
“Okay, let’s go outside and talk.” Yu Banyue nodded, and the two sisters walked outside together.
As soon as the door closed, Yu Banxia rolled over, muttering, "Those abs are really solid... hehehe..."
Fortunately, the two sisters went outside; otherwise, they would have been horrified to hear that.
The next morning, Erniu and the others were already waiting at the door.
While Yu Banxia was eating breakfast, Fan Cuilan kept reminding her, "Girl, there's a lot of work involved in the free clinic, so you must be careful. If you're in trouble, hide somewhere safe, okay?"
"I understand, Mother. Even if your daughter isn't weak and helpless, there are still the government officials and Erniu and the others."
"Alright, Mother won't say any more. You should eat quickly and leave as soon as you're done." Fan Cuilan nodded with a smile.
Yu Banxia hummed in agreement and quickened her eating pace.
After eating, she took her medicine box and went out, accompanied by Erniu and five others, as well as three young men from the village.
It was the first time the three young men had gone out with Yu Banxia, and none of them were very talkative.
Erniu, on the other hand, was busy talking to Yu Banxia. Gou Dan and the other three were also quite familiar with her. They chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived in town.
