pretty little cook

Chapter 36

Seeing that Mi Xiaowan was still silent, Mrs. Zhang lightly poked Mi Xiaoyue at the side, signaling her to go up to persuade Mi Xiaowan, but there was no movement for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang found out that the eldest daughter's face was hidden after a closer look. Her expression was not much better than that of her second daughter. She didn't know that Mi Xiaoyue's hope for these herbs was no less than that of Mi Xiaowan. She herself was so decadent that she didn't have the energy to take care of Mi Xiaowan!
The three mother and daughter walked back happily with three full bamboo baskets on their backs. Because of the scorching sun in summer, the three mother and daughter abandoned the path they took in the morning and chose a relatively far distance but there is a small path. The official road accompanied by the shade of trees.

As the meal time draws closer, Mi Xiaowan finds that there are more and more people on the road. There are all kinds of people, there are shopkeepers running all over the street carrying goods, ordinary people visiting relatives with their burdens on their backs, and others. There are caravans and bodyguards from all walks of life. Along the way, they can be seen everywhere under the shade of trees, resting their feet while nibbling on dry food.

"Mother, why are there so many people here!" Mi Xiaowan asked suspiciously.

"Oh, these are passers-by who missed their meal and made do on the way." Mrs. Zhang said unsurprisingly.

Mi Xiaowan's expression was shocked, and she continued to ask. "Are there many of these people?"

"Well, there will be no passing caravans any day, there are so many!" Mrs. Zhang didn't understand why the youngest daughter would be interested in this, but now that she was so excited just now, she can speak on her own initiative. Mrs. Zhang wished she would say more. Whatever she says!

Mi Xiaowan's eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled. "Mother, sister, we don't need to drink these mints by ourselves!"

"Then who will drink?" Mrs. Zhang asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Can this work? We haven't done any business before." Mrs. Zhang looked at the two sisters who were busy in Zhenghuan and asked suspiciously.

"If it works, let's try it. If it doesn't work, it's just a waste of effort." Mi Xiaowan said while putting sugar into the boiled peppermint tea.

"That's right! Mother, you don't need to worry about it. My sister and I can do it. You cook quickly, we are all hungry!" Mi Xiaoyue was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would not let them go, so she hurriedly pushed Mrs. Zhang out of the kitchen.

In fact, how could Mrs. Zhang stop the two children who are willing to help the family? She just wanted to help, but seeing the momentum of the two of them, she probably wouldn't let her help. Mrs. Zhang was a little worried when they were pushed out of the kitchen. He muttered as if he had been abandoned by his two daughters. "You child, don't I have to cook in the kitchen too!"

That being said, Mrs. Zhang returned to the room anyway, and saw Mi Tianqing reading a yellowed book carefully.

Mi Tianqing also went to a private school for several years when he was young. Before the family was separated, Mi Tianen would often take the used books to the fire. After Mi Tianqing learned about it, he secretly took them over, so, There are many kinds of books stored under the boxes of Mi's house, and Mi Tianqing often takes them out to read in his spare time.

Mi Tianqing just looked up when Mrs. Zhang came in, and saw that she seemed a little unhappy, so she said. "Isn't it because the mint leaves haven't been sold? It's okay, as long as my legs get better, our family's life will be fine!"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, and said somewhat dumbfounded. "I know, it's just that I was kicked out by two girls."

Mi Tianqing was slightly surprised.

Mrs. Zhang then told Mi Tianqing about the road and what Mi Xiaowan and the others were going to do now.

Mi Tianqing didn't have Zhang's concern, but said happily. "Xiao Wan is sincerely for this family. This shows that she has forgiven us. How wonderful! Go and see if you can help them!"
