Chapter 40: A Busy Day

Jiang Xiaoxiao finished breaking the eggs and then went on to beat the egg whites to make cream.

This time Shopkeeper Zhou pre-ordered one hundred bowls of ice cream, which required a lot of cream. She directly held a large porcelain bowl and used two chopsticks to beat in the same direction without stopping.

Without the help of modern tools, beating cream manually takes more than half an hour. Soon Jiang Xiaoxiao had no strength, and her arms were so sore she couldn't lift them.

Jiang Wei put down the long wooden spoon stirring the egg liquid in the pot, walked over, closed the room door, and then found an electric egg beater from the space, "Use this."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up!

Jiang Wei pressed the switch, and the electric egg beater spun rapidly with a "buzz." After demonstrating the usage to Jiang Xiaoxiao, she returned to the stove to continue cooking the egg liquid in the pot.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held this long-lost and familiar electric egg beater, and her eyes felt a little hot. She remembered that she had also made cakes and beaten cream when she was alone at home...

Unfortunately, after transmigrating, she became an ordinary farm girl in this ancient world.

Jiang Xiaoxiao collected her thoughts and started to beat the egg white liquid with the electric egg beater. Seven or eight minutes later, the egg white liquid in the porcelain bowl turned into dense, smooth, snow-white cream.

It must be said that modern tools are more time-saving and labor-saving.

Jiang Xiaoxiao went on to beat the next bowl of egg white liquid, while Jiang Wei cooked a pot of ice cream, put it into the space to freeze, and then continued to cook the next pot.

The mother and daughter proceeded in an orderly manner and were busy until evening before finishing.

The mother and daughter were also too tired to cook dinner. Jiang Wei directly took out cooked food from the space to solve dinner.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside roasted lamb chops, fat and fresh hairy crabs, spicy and fragrant crayfish... and a full bucket of strawberry ice cream that Jiang Xiaoxiao loved the most.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned by the feast in front of her. The roasted lamb chops were still sizzling with oil and heat, as if they had just been taken off the grill.

Jiang Wei closed the room door tightly, and then took out two cans of fresh orange juice and two pieces of tiramisu from the space, "Don't be stupid, eat quickly, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold later."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

She seriously suspected that even if she wanted to eat milk tea or hot pot now, her mother could take it out for her on the spot.

Eating these sour and spicy delicacies on a summer night is the most appetizing. Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was originally tired all day and had no appetite, ate these long-lost delicious hairy crabs and spicy crayfish, and her appetite opened up.

The mother and daughter swept the delicacies on the table clean like a whirlwind.

Full and satisfied, Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned on the chair and touched her round belly, looking satisfied.

Once again, she sincerely felt that living with the female lead mother is good.

Full and sleepy, sleepiness struck. Jiang Xiaoxiao's little head nodded, and she seemed to be about to plunge into the ocean of sleepiness.

The next second, she was pulled up by her mother to release water into the pot: "You haven't trained your ability today. Hurry up and fill the pot with water, and boil some water to take a bath before going to sleep."

The mother and daughter were tired all day, covered in sweat. How could they sleep without taking a bath?

Jiang Xiaoxiao could only obediently go to release water.

Jiang Wei seemed to have endless energy all day. While the water was boiling, she went to the courtyard to chop firewood, and stacked the dry grass and firewood neatly in the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so sleepy that she yawned. Fortunately, the water finally boiled, and she was stripped naked by her mother and put into the bath barrel.

The warm water poured down from her head, and the water reached her shoulders. Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned comfortably against the barrel wall, feeling so comfortable that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

The next second, the back of her head was lifted by a pair of large hands, rubbing, and the fresh fragrance of shampoo gradually permeated her nose...

In the steaming heat, Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyelids were almost unable to open, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she saw herself wearing brand-new silk pajamas and a fresh and clean body, and couldn't help but cover her face.

How did she fall asleep? She didn't even know how she got to bed...

After all, it was a five-year-old child's body, and her physical strength and vitality were far inferior to an adult's. She was tired all day yesterday, so naturally, she was sleepy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao checked her body. It must be said that after taking a bath with the water released by the ability last night, all the fatigue on her body disappeared, and she was full of spirit. It seemed that even her skin had become smoother and more delicate than when she transmigrated.

She changed out of the silk pajamas, folded them neatly and put them into the wardrobe, put on her own clothes, walked out of the house, and saw her mother washing up in the courtyard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over and also picked up a toothbrush to wash up.

Jiang Wei finished rinsing her mouth and started to arrange the tasks she had to do today: "You fill the large vats at home with water first, and then go to town with me after eating."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded with the toothbrush in her mouth. Recently, her mother had been more concerned about ability training than she was...

But thinking about it, the weather had been getting drier recently, and the water in the two wells in the village was getting less and less. Her family's well probably wouldn't be spared either. If she didn't intensify the training of her ability, it wouldn't be long before her family's water ran out.

Jiang Wei fed the chickens and sheep at home while she went to release water.

She had added a lot of barnyard millet to the crushed grass for feeding the chickens and sheep these past few days, and the chickens and sheep were eating very happily, especially that sheep, which was eating fat and strong, completely gone from its original sickly appearance.

Those few chickens were also full of spirit, walking and pecking in the chicken pen every day.

After finishing the chores at home, the mother and daughter hurried to the village entrance to take the ox cart.

The one driving the ox cart was Old Man Zhao from the neighboring village. He waited for people at the village entrance of the two villages at dawn every day, and started driving the ox cart to town at the end of the Chen hour.

The Jiang mother and daughter came a little late, almost on time. At this moment, the ox cart was already full of people.

Today was the day of the market in town, and there were more villagers going to town to buy and sell things than usual.

Jiang Wei jumped onto the ox cart with the ice cabinet in one hand, and lifted Jiang Xiaoxiao to sit on her lap with the other.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Old Man Zhao waved the whip in his hand and started driving the old yellow cattle. The ox cart drove slowly toward the town.

Most of the women on the ox cart were from neighboring villages and didn't know each other well. After the Jiang mother and daughter got on the ox cart, they looked at their noses and hearts, keeping silent.

But someone still took the initiative to talk to them: "Hey, your name is Xiaoxiao, right? Are you going to town with your mother today too?"

While talking, the woman glanced at the ice cabinet at Jiang Wei's feet seemingly there or not.

"Yes, Auntie." As a five-year-old child, Jiang Xiaoxiao still responded obediently.

The person who asked was Lin Shenzi from the neighboring village. She was also going to town to sell things today, and there was a basket of eggs at her feet.

"You mother and child go to town every day. This snow cake must have earned a lot of money, right?"

Just after Lin Shenzi finished asking, the few people silently listening on the ox cart all looked at the mother and daughter in unison.

The matter of Jiang Wei selling snow cakes had not only spread in Yuhe Village, but people in neighboring villages had also heard about it.
