LATMAB Chapter 11

Little Luo Bei came back soon, not only did he bring back the money, he also brought back some fried dough sticks and two bowls of tofu pudding. Dai Yao frowned and asked, “Third uncle refuse to accept it?”

Luo Bei wiped the sweat on his forehead with his chubby little hands and said, “He said the cost of these two pots of soup was only twenty yuan in total, so charging thirty yuan was already a profit. He also said that both of us had sold out our buns and must have skipped breakfast, so he gave me some fried dough sticks and tofu pudding.”

Dai Yao was very touched. The people in the village had watched him grow up, and they were all like family. Moreover, almost all the people in Daijiayao were related to him. Even the villagers with different surnames had nothing to say about Dai Yao. He should not have ended up like this in his previous life. If it weren’t for Feng Qi, he wouldn’t have been so miserable even if he lived a tight life.

He could only blame himself for being too useless. He didn’t have enough strength to fight Feng Qi now. Moreover, he was pregnant with a baby, and it would be bad if he got hurt. He had to become stronger, otherwise he would have to shrink his head for the rest of his life, which was too depressing.

Dai Yao collected the money and said to Luo Bei, “Then you eat it!”

Luo Bei asked curiously, “What about you?”

Dai Yao felt uncomfortable looking at the oily fried dough sticks, he couldn’t eat them. So he shook his head and said, “I’ll eat the radish. You can just eat it.”

Luo Bei was delighted. It was great to have a physical body. The delicious food was the best!

After that, Dai Yao went to the backyard, washed a big radish, cut it into shreds, and mixed it with some sauce. The taste was refreshing and delicious! He couldn’t help but whet his appetite, and he ate the steamed buns made from the leftover dough from steaming buns with great relish. He ate a whole plate of them without even realizing it.

Then he suddenly had an idea. There were so many radishes in the backyard, why not make some pickled radishes? Eating steamed buns and drinking porridge was too monotonous, so it was very suitable to have some shredded radishes. Many breakfast stalls would provide pickles for free, but Dai Yao’s radishes were too precious to be free. He would make a small amount first and try to sell it. If it sold well, he would increase the amount tomorrow. Maybe it would be another way to make money.

After finishing breakfast, Luo Bei saw Dai Yao washing a large basket of radishes. When he saw him coming, he told him, “You’re just in time. Grate these radishes into thick strips. I’m going to use them to make pickles.”

Luo Bei widened his eyes exaggeratedly and said, “So many? You are a child abuser, cousin!”

Dai Yao glanced at him calmly and said, “Stop talking nonsense. I let you to stay here is to work, otherwise I would stew you into old radish soup! Also, you are over 2,000 years old, can you stop pretending to be young? Why do you have to transform yourself into a child?”

Luo Bei obediently went to shred the radish, and while shredding he said, “You don’t understand. It’s more convenient to be a child, so you don’t need an ID card. There are too many rules in your human world, so it’s more convenient to transform into a child.”

Dai Yao looked at him inscrutably and said, “Cousin, you think too much. Don’t you know that there is such a thing as a household registration book in this world? And the child you transform into is at least eight years old. Selling buns at home every day, don’t you have to go to school?”

Luo Bei fell into deep thought and said, “If I’ve known it, I have should become smaller.”

Dai Yao glanced at the little radish, then went to the kitchen to clean up the baskets and wash the dishes. Luo Bei was very obedient. After shredding the radish, he washed two full baskets and shredded them into thin strips according to Dai Yao’s instructions.

They had an hour’s lunch break at noon, because they woke up too early and would not be able to hold on if they did not take a nap. Since he made some money today, Dai Yao bought some spareribs for the first time and stewed a big pot of spareribs and radish. The aroma spread across half the street. Many adults and children looked into his house and asked curiously, “What is Yaoyao stewing? Why is it so fragrant?”

Dai Yao saw this and immediately served a bowl of pork ribs for everyone to taste. As a result, the crowd rushed over and grabbed all the radishes, leaving all the spare ribs in the bowl. After eating the radishes, everyone started eating the spare ribs. However, the taste of the spare ribs was surprisingly good, because the flavor of the radish had soaked into it, removing the greasiness and stimulating the original aroma of the meat.

Dai Yao didn’t add any seasoning at all, just a few star anises. The rest was just regular salt and soy sauce, so it can be said to be the original flavor.

Everyone enjoyed the dish and asked Dai Yao, “Yaoyao, your stewed pork ribs with radish is really delicious. How did you make it?”

Dai Yao smiled a little embarrassedly and said, “I… just do it in a common way. I learned it from my master when I was working in a restaurant.”

The villagers nodded one after another. No wonder, no wonder, learning from a master chef must be amazing. Some people said they would asked him for advice someday to learn from him. Dai Yao agreed, but he didn’t know how to teach. This was not a problem of craftsmanship, but a problem of ingredients ah! The radishes in his backyard tasted like delicacies from the mountains and the sea when eaten raw.

Speaking of radishes, although the harvest from this one acre of land weighs eight or nine hundred kilograms, at his current rate of consumption, they will be eaten up in less than half a month. He must plant some more, otherwise he will run out of food.

So after taking an hour’s break at noon, Dai Yao continued to study the Shennong system. After harvesting the radishes yesterday, Dai Yao stopped doing the task. Because he was really short of money, he couldn’t wait to start preparing to open a steamed bun shop. In his previous life, he got deeper and deeper into trouble because of lack of money. In this life, he must not be tied down by money again. But he didn’t expect that the steamed bun shop would be so successful. He made more than 300 yuan on the first day. After all, there was the cost of meat. Although vegetables doesn’t cost money, meat was the biggest expense.

But surprisingly, most of the people asked for vegetarian stuffing. Dai Yao thought, if it really doesn’t work, he should just put less meat and more vegetarian stuffing.

Opening the scroll panel, Dai Yao saw that the system had issued a task.

Shennong’s reconstruction mission 1, 9. Sort out the harvested land and obtain 10 pieces of spiritual jade.

Dai Yao picked up the Shennong hoe and tidied up the land full of radish pits. After handing in the task, the system issued a new task.

Shennong’s reconstruction mission 1, 10. Harvest new radish seeds and obtain 10 spiritual jade.

This task was linked to one another, and it was the entire process of planting crops. Dai Yao followed the instructions of the task and harvested the mature white radish seeds. Speaking of the crops grown in the spiritual field, the maturity cycle was really too short! And now it was November, the weather in the north was getting colder, and the leaves were starting to turn yellow. But although his backyard was desolate, it was lush and green, as if it was a place with a constant temperature.

A large paper bag made of newspaper was full with harvested white radish seeds. Dai Yao opened the scroll panel to hand in the task. After the task was handed in, in addition to the Spiritual Jade he deserved, the system also prompted an additional text.

“Congratulations, Host, the novice guidance mission has been completed. You have obtained an additional 100 spiritual jade, and currently have 200 spiritual jade. Spiritual jade is the universal currency of the Shennong reconstruction system, which can be used to expand new areas, purchase universal props, and upgrade the system. Host can obtain spiritual jade by completing regular tasks and system mainline tasks. The more spiritual jade you obtain, the more areas you can develop. When a certain contribution value is reached, Host can have a more advanced Shennong farm.”

Wow, a more advanced Shennong Farm? Dai Yao was full of anticipation. He wondered what rare things the more advanced Shennong Farm could grow?

Dai Yao continued to follow the instructions and clicked down. The system prompted again: “A new mission map has been opened. Shennong’s reconstruction mission 2: expand the new area and harvest two crops to obtain 100 spiritual jade.

Can expand into new areas so soon?

As the mission was issued, a route guidelines appeared in front of Dai Yao. He followed the route guide to the side of the previous piece of land. There was an air wall there, and Dai Yao could not enter. Outside the air wall was a desolate land, still overgrown with weeds. Indistinctly, a small corpse was seen. From the appearance, it was either a cat or a dog. He doesn’t know who abandoned it here, it looks very miserable.

Dai Yao sighed and said that if this area was developed, he would definitely bury it properly.

At this time, the system prompted: “Host, do you want to develop this land?”

Dai Yao said: “Yes!”

The system prompt sounded again: “Development failed, insufficient spiritual jade. It takes 300 spiritual jade to develop this land. I hope the host will keep working hard.”

“Ah!” Dai Yao was slightly disappointed, but this was normal. Any upgrade game would not allow you to develop new areas so easily. You had to at least gain some experience first.

So Dai Yao opened the scroll panel again, followed the original novice guidance, and cycled through the last task: Shennong reconstruction. Please plant the white radish seeds you just acquire and obtain 10 spiritual jade.

As long as he completed ten more tasks, Dai Yao can open up new areas. When he think of this, Dai Yao was full of anticipation and happiness!

——

There was a five-star scenic hotel near Nanchuan Normal University. The private rooms were completely different from those in the city. Within a radius of 100 meters, there was only one elegant pavilion in the open-air tree-lined landscape. VIPs can enjoy the scenery while eating various delicacies. Although the taste was average, the beautiful scenery and beautiful people around make it a unique place.

Bai Chuan took the wine glass from the Nanjing Normal University director with an expressionless face and drank it. He glanced at the uneasy boy next to him. After putting down the wine glass, he asked the other party: “You are Dai Yao?”

There was nervousness in the other person’s eyes, but more of it was joy. He already knew who this person was from the introduction of the school director. It was really a great honor for him to make friends with such a person. But why did this person suddenly invite him? Let’s not get into the details for now. Since they were acquaintance, then he should serve him well. Maybe it can help him climb to a higher level in Nanchen City.

So he nodded, with just the right amount of shyness on his face.

Bai Chuan felt all this was artificial, so he asked in a critical manner: “I heard from the principal that you had a performance on the night of October 1st? Did you participate as well?” October 1st was the night he and Dai Yao spent together.
