Chapter 393: Chapter 393: The Cozy Nest Chapter 393: Chapter 393: The Cozy Nest It was only six in the morning, and it was tough on the County Magistrate to be bustling about so early.
As the day brightened, the shouts of vendors began to fill the street outside, and only then did the County Magistrate take his leave to return to the Yan (Governnt office) to work.
Before he left, Li Wenli gave him a jar of beef sauce as a thank-you gift.
The County Magistrate initially didn’t think much of the jar, but once he sniffed it, he was imdiately enraptured!
It was just too fragrant!!!
He happily carried the sauce back to the Yan to eat with noodles. Later, this jar of beef sauce was greedily snatched up by the Deputy Magistrate and the Registrar, but that’s a story for another ti.
After bidding farewell to the County Magistrate, everyone casually headed to the marketplace for a stroll.
Seeing the dazzling array of vendor stalls with the shadow of stead buns, Bai Junjun, who had long heard of the grand reputation of stead buns, bought 18 in one go, adhering to the standard of three per person.
Grain was expensive these days; one stead bun cost ten coins, so 18 amounted to 180 coins.
The vendor made a big sale early in the morning and happily threw in an extra one.
The group then happily carried the stead buns back ho.
The fragrant stead buns with spicy beef sauce were simply the most delicious indulgence in the world.
The consequence of being delicious was that everyone was stuffed from the first al of the morning.
Now they all sat collapsed in the living room, taking a long ti to digest before they could move.
As the little housekeeper, Bai Sasa was the first to be able to move, and naturally, she went to check on the important area of the kitchen.
Bai Junjun had already filled the jars of rice, flour, oil, and even tossed out the chickens, ducks, and geese from the space.
So what Bai Sasa saw as she entered the kitchen was a flock of chickens, ducks, and geese amid a bounty of pots, pans, and grains.
She covered her mouth in surprise, not expecting the portly County Magistrate to be so generous.
“Why is he so nice to us?” Bai Sasa furrowed her brow in thought, “Could it be that he knows about our identities?”
“What kind of identity do we have that would make soone favor us?” Bai Junjun asked with a laugh as she ruffled her head.
“Rember this saying, elder sister, nobody is good to you without reason unless you are of use to them.”
“Do we have sothing they could use?” Bai Sasa looked puzzled.
“Uh… yesterday when we entered the city, the fox and I helped him catch a few thieves,” Bai Junjun said vaguely.
This revelation caused Bai Sasa to exclaim in surprise, no wonder there was a big horse carriage yesterday, and the County Magistrate was so polite!
“So, being strong is the only way to earn the respect you deserve, regardless of gender, you must rely on yourself and not others, understand?”
At that mont, Bai Junjun began another round of ideological education for the children.
Li Wenli leisurely wandered through this part of the kitchen.
Finding a small pond surrounded by several large banana plants, he helped Bai Junjun bring out Small Cedarwood and the Man-eating Grass.
The two plants, having been confined in space for a long ti, were finally seeing the sun and joyfully danced all their leaves.
The Man-eating Grass even jumped out of Small Cedarwood’s basket and flung its roots uncertainly to the edge of the pond to soak and drink water.
Everyone, having not seen them for a while, was taken aback.
Xiao Shan and Xiao Yu happily greeted the Mosquito-eating Plant, but it was imrsed in its own world, just twirling its sepal and waving dismissively at them before ignoring them entirely.
Only when Xiao Shan and Bai Lingyu sohow caught a caterpillar did the Mosquito-eating Plant change its attitude.
Having been vegetarian for so long, the Mosquito-eating Plant was finally indulging in at, not minding whether it was a mosquito or a caterpillar.
Seeing the drastic change in diet of the Mosquito-eating Plant, Li Wenli was dumbfounded.
“This guy… it couldn’t have mutated, could it?”
Bai Junjun was quite calm, however.
