The Little Lucky Girl

It's the end of the month, and Ming Youyou finally stops sighing at her empty wallet because the day to divide the money with each family has arrived.

Originally, this kind of dividend was paid every six months or a year, but she was short of money and had to take care of three children who were going to school, so she changed it to monthly payment.

Although the profits from Jinxiufang had been advanced, it did not prevent her from going over to have a chat with Mrs. Tao and have a meal at the same time.

Today I came back from Miss Zhang. Not only did I receive dividends and eat a big bowl of steamed buns, I also brought back a lot of delicious food.

Ming Youyou rubbed her belly and said to the system: "Life like this is so beautiful. It would be great if I had many stores. Then I wouldn't have to do anything every day and just collect money."

The system said, "What you said reminds me of the programmer who used to train us. He said his wish was to buy 31 houses, rent them all out, and have the tenants pay the rent in order. This way, he would receive a sum of money every morning when he woke up, and his job for the day would be to spend the money."

"Wow," Ming Youyou was stunned, "This wish is so interesting, did he fulfill it?"

"I don't know what the situation is now, but it didn't exist when I was assigned." The system said, "But he is indeed the hardest-working employee in that department."

"So setting appropriate goals can motivate people to make progress." The system prompted according to its own understanding.

Ming Youyou said she understood, "I'll talk to Lord Tao when I get back and ask him to set his own goals as well."

The system was confused. "I'm talking to you. Why did you jump to Magistrate Tao? What's your business?"

"Why not? Our county is so small, not many people come to eat here, and there are less than ten restaurants in total," Ming Youyou said confidently, "It will have to become a big county like Pingyang City to open many restaurants, so it all depends on Mr. Tao's hard work."

System: ...I'm confused, but it does make sense.

Ming Youyou walked for a while and felt a little hungry, so he opened the package prepared by Miss Zhang and took a deep breath, "It smells so good."

This is the new food made by the Zhang family.

Many diners think that eating mutton soup with steamed buns is too hot in the summer, but they are used to Uncle Zhang’s cooking skills and would feel uncomfortable if they couldn’t eat it.

So someone suggested that we just bake the steamed bun a little longer, chop the mutton into small pieces, put it directly in the bun, and pair it with a cup of herbal tea. That would be very comfortable.

As for the name of this new food, it is also very simple, called "Mo Jia Rou".

Ming Youyou sucked her saliva, counted out three and put them aside, which were for Zheng Huan and the others; then she picked up another one and took a bite, and there was only one left in the package, which she had specifically asked for, intending to give to Brother Zhengdao.

Since the nutrient solution incident, Zheng Dao occasionally received food from her, which touched him but also made him feel embarrassed. However, he was quite happy today and quickly said, "I also have a gift for you."

As he said that, he sent a gift box over.

Ming Youyou looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so she happily took out the things, looked at the words on it and read: "Wufangzhai Zongzi".

"Wow, I actually know all these words." She was amazed.

Zheng Dao smiled secretly. This gift box was specially made for her by the research institute. The instructions on it were all written in Dayu’s words. The rice dumplings inside were also smaller than normal ones, making them easier for children to eat.

"Is this thing called a zongzi?" Ming Youyou quickly opened it, took one out and sniffed it curiously.

"You haven't seen it?" Zheng Dao was very surprised, because they included "Chu Ci" in Dayu's book, so they assumed that the customs of the two places were the same.

"Then do you know Qu Yuan?"

Qu Yuan? Ming Youyou shook his head, "But I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

"Oh, are you talking about Doctor Qu?" She said excitedly, "My grandfather said that they in Da Qi commemorate this doctor during the Dragon Boat Festival, but we in Dayu don't."

Zheng Dao explained to her the origin of eating rice dumplings, and excitedly told her that this gift box is about to be sold out in the store because everyone working on the alien planet wants to taste the flavor of their hometown.

The taste of home...

Ming Youyou thought about it, picked one from the gift box, and ran to the guards' yard.

She peeked in at the door and called out softly, "Brother Jia, are you there?"

Jiayi was practicing using the abacus in the yard. He looked up when he heard the noise, smiled and waved at her, "Come in, they are not here."

Ming Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with a swagger. She even patted the stool that Captain Jin often used and then sat down on it.

There was only Jia Yi in the huge courtyard, and even the sound of the abacus sounded so desolate. She couldn't help but ask, "Don't the other guards play with you? Are they bullying you?"

Jia Yi smiled and said, "They are all out on missions. I will have other arrangements later."

"What's the arrangement?" Ming Youyou became nervous. Among these guards, Jiayi was the best to them. "Then will you leave here?"

"No, don't worry." Jiayi patted her head soothingly, "Actually, big brother is a very good person, he just isn't used to expressing it."

It's not surprising that Jiayi thinks so. Captain Jin treats his men very well. Unfortunately, he treats them...

Thinking of that sinister smile, Ming Youyou shuddered and didn't dare to sit there any longer.

She quickly handed the thing in her hand to Jia Yi, "Look what this is?"

"Zongzi?" Jia Yi asked in surprise.

"You do know it," Ming Youyou said happily, "So Da Qi also eats this during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

A nodded, "We have the custom of eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Then eat it quickly. There is only one. Eat it quickly before they come back and see it."

Jiayi took it with thanks, but his expression was somewhat resistant, "I don't really like it..."

Ming Youyou glared, "How could you not like such delicious food?"

Jia Yi was also puzzled, "You think it tastes good?"

"Sweet ones are especially delicious. I specially picked one with red bean paste filling for you. You will know when you try it."

Jiayi opened it doubtfully, took a careful bite, and murmured, "It's actually really delicious."

"Isn't this what you ate before?"

A nodded, "The rice dumplings I've eaten before were all very bitter. They say the bitterer the food, the more blessed you are..."

The fragrance of the rice dumplings seemed to evoke some distant memories, and a tear suddenly slid down from the corner of my eye.

Ming Youyou felt that the rice dumplings must have been added with Coptis chinensis. Looking at Brother Jia, she burst into tears just thinking about it.

She comforted him, "Don't think about the past. I will make sweet rice dumplings for you every Dragon Boat Festival."
