Chapter 74: Hoarding Cumin

At night

  , when her mother and brothers and sisters had gone to bed, Caiwei flashed into the space and went to the small courtyard to pick a beauty fruit to eat.

  During this period of time, she had become accustomed to eating a beauty fruit every day. This beauty fruit really has a magical effect on beauty. After eating it for a few days, her skin had changed from the initial grayish yellow to a tender white like egg white. Especially on the white, there was a light pink, which looked like the peach blossoms in full bloom in March, delicate and beautiful.

  After eating the beauty fruit, she strolled into the flowers and collected a small bag of withered dried flowers. The ones she collected last time were sold to that evildoer by her mother who didn't know the truth. It was a pity that those valuable things were cheated of a hundred taels of silver by that guy. It was really hateful and annoying!

  Meanwhile, Caiwei was thinking about the evildoer's harming people and was busy with her hands. The parrot appeared at some point. Its pair of black cross-eyed eyes looked at her pitifully, and its wings held her heart!

  "Why are you looking at me like that?"

  Caiwei was startled by the guy who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but scold him.

  "Master... I want to eat the grilled skewers in your restaurant, I want to eat..." The parrot pulled Caiwei's collar with its claws, acting coquettishly and foolishly without caring about its image.

  Caiwei used both hands to flick its claws away, put away the dried flowers she had picked, hid them in her arms, glanced at it and said, "Okay!"

  "Wow - Master, you are so generous, my admiration for you is like-"

  "But you have to exchange it with your labor!"

  Before the parrot finished flattering, Caiwei added coldly.

  "Uh... Master, what do you want me to do? Just say it!" The bird raised its wings, and the look in its green bean eyes was unwavering. For the mouth-watering food, it also fought hard!

  "Actually, it's nothing, just help me harvest all the mature cumin, leave half to grind into flour, and the other half to make seeds, and then plant them again!" Caiwei said leisurely.

  Since she was in the barbecue business, she couldn't avoid using a lot of cumin. At present, no one else in the Great Jin Kingdom had discovered and used cumin. Caiwei naturally knew the commercial value of this. Therefore, she didn't want the cumin to be discovered by others, and she couldn't openly plant cumin outside. Therefore, the large amount of cumin she needed had to be planted in the space.

  The cumin used in her own restaurant was ground into flour by her before being used. No matter who he was, he couldn't find the secret of cumin!

  "Okay, I'll do it now!" Yingge agreed.

  Baimei suddenly appeared, squeaking in his mouth: "Master, there is still me, what do you need me to do?"

  Caiwei thought for a while and said: "Go to the warehouse to find out if there are any peppercorns. If there are, plant some. If not, help Yingge grind cumin flour!"

  "Yes, Master!"

  Baimei finished speaking, but did not leave. He just stared at Caiwei with a pair of bright eyes.

  Caiwei understood and said with a smile: "Work hard, and if you do a good job, you will have a share of the grilled meat skewers!"

  "Thank you, master!" Baimei smiled and bowed to Caiwei in a proper manner, then jumped up and disappeared.

  The parrot looked in the direction where Baimei disappeared, quietly came over, tugged at Caiwei's skirt with its small claws, and whispered: "Master, please leave the big and fat grilled meat skewers to me, and give the rest to it..."

  "Puff——"

  Caiwei laughed, and gave a slap on the little egg-sized head, cursing: "Get lost——"
