It didn't take long for Liu Xiaolan to forget the topic of her little fool and focus her attention on more important things.
Liu Xiaolan had a bright smile on her face while looking at the food in front of her.
A bowl of soup with some meat, leeks and rice, while it might not sound fascinating, it's still a big luxury for Liu Xiaolan in current times. Not to mention that on another bowl, she had some stir fried rice with the rest of meat and some vegetables as well.
Since coming to the Datang Empire, Liu Xiaolan never had an opportunity to eat such a full dish, most of the time filling her hunger with just dry rice with vegetables.
Liu Xiaolan had little stars in her eyes and said, "Little fool, sit down and eat with me quickly…"
Mu Yuchen looked at his lady and had a helpless smile on his face. He used to think that the thing his lady loves the most was money, but seeing the way she stared at their dishes, perhaps he was wrong.
His lady for sure loved food first, money second… Wait, just where am I on that list?
Mu Yuchen started thinking about his own position is his lady's heart and ignored Liu Xiaolan, who was already eating her food with in a fast manner.
"Little fool, why are you not eating? Is it not to your taste?" Liu Xiaolan asked, a little bewildered. It wouldn't be that the ancient people had different taste from her, right?
Although what she prepared today is only seasoned with salt, since she has no other seasonings, it's still like heaven compared to what they are usually eating.
So why is the little fool looking at the bowl stupidly, not moving his hands at all?
Mu Yuchen heard her voice and his mind came back. Well, he can always think about these things later, for now he should focus on the food that his lady cooked for him. "No, it's fine. I just thought about something…"
Liu Xiaolan had no interest currently in what Mu Yuchen was thinking about, so she once again ignored him before continuing to eat her own food…
About 20 minutes later, Liu Xiaolan was satisfied. She had a big smile on her face, muttering to herself, "It would be good if we could eat like this every day…"
The way she said these words was really quiet, like whispering to herself, but Mu Yuchen with his higher senses could still hear what she said.
"Lady doesn't need to worry, I'll work hard to earn enough money for my lady, so that lady can eat everything she wants…" Mu Yuchen said with a straight face.
Liu Xiaolan looked at him and smiled.
Suddenly, it seems that something popped up in her mind. Previously, she was too concerned about pacifying her little fool, so she completely forgot about this…
But should she ask him about that? What if she made him unhappy?
"Little fool, it's fine, we will be having it better in the future…" Liu Xiaolan was a little too curious about it, so she still asked, "By the way, little fool, why did you come back home so soon today?"
Liu Xiaolan already imagined what he's going to say. After all, her little fool was going to sell chestnuts alone for the first time, it's obvious that he wouldn't have much success.
Thinking about this, Liu Xiaolan started to plan how to comfort her little fool and make him regain his fighting spirit.
"Lady, I've sold all the buckets we had prepared for the chestnuts today, so I came back earlier…" Mu Yuchen said proudly, waiting for his lady's praise.
But Liu Xiaolan was occupied by her thoughts right now, so how could she hear what Mu Yuchen said just now?
Just as she was about to say something, Mu Yuchen put his hand on Liu Xiaolan's shoulder and said, "Lady, all you alright?"
She looked at him, a little puzzled. "Of course I'm fine, why are you asking?"
Mu Yuchen saw the way she looked at him and had a helpless smile on his face. Here he is waiting for his lady to praise him up to heaven, but she didn't even listen to what he said?
"Lady, I've said before that I came back earlier today because I managed to sell all of the buckets with chestnuts that were prepared for today…"
Seeing Liu Xiaolan's changing look, Mu Yuchen continued, "I wanted to stay longer, but Liu Jiahao had no more buckets for me, so I couldn't sell anything even if I wanted…"
Mu Yuchen looked proudly at Liu Xiaolan, waiting for her reaction.
This time, his lady should be able to understand how good he is. Food and money might be important for the lady, but she should understand that he's much better than these two things!
Liu Xiaolan was truly a little shocked. She might believe that her little fool somehow sold out the chestnuts, but that's if he came back in the evening, after selling for a whole day.
She had no way to measure time currently, but she still had a rough estimate. Just going to the city and the other way around would take like 7-8 hours, not to mention the time spent on selling chestnuts.
But from what she thought, didn't her little fool came back in 5, maybe 6 hours? Just how did he do this, that's not even enough time at all…
Liu Xiaolan looked at Mu Yuchen and said, "Little fool, you've done a great job…"
"But how did you manage to finish selling all the chestnuts in such a short time? There should be 129 buckets for sale today, even if all the people bought at least 2 buckets, you would still need 65 clients…"
"And that's without mentioning the time on the road between Liuojia Village and Shenyang, did someone take you with them to the city?"
Today's the last day of the bigger release. Starting tomorrow, we will be going back to my old release schedule, 16 chapters per week.
