Chapter 37 -37 She is Bai Zhi

Bai Zhi slowly turned around and looked at her elder sister.

“Sister, should we draft an agreement then?”

As soon as Bai Zhi made this suggestion, both Bai Dan and the elder sister were taken aback.

The only thought in the elder sister’s mind was, how could this little sister be so shrewd?

“Xingxing, what kind of agreement?”

Bai Dan was somewhat puzzled. Why would they need an agreement?

“Grandpa, without an agreement, verbal promises hold no proof. If we bring so many kilograms, but Sister refuses to take them, wouldn’t we grandchildren have to just take it back home? Isn’t the road long and difficult?”

Bai Zhi blinked her eyes, trying to appear as innocent and cheerful as possible, but unfortunately, she was not very convincing because innocence and naivety had long been absent from her core.

“Little sister, my word counts.”

The elder sister’s face stiffened a bit. Why did she feel like the little sister was implying that she was someone whose word did not count?

“I am not saying Sister’s words don’t count; having an agreement just ensures protection for both of us, but twenty kilograms at a time is actually quite a lot. Sister could take less.”

In fact, Bai Zhi was thinking of the elder sister’s best interest. Although more would mean earning more, she was also worried about whether the elder sister could sell them all, right?

Clearly, she was unaware of the purchasing power of this small town, which the elder sister obviously knew. Twenty kilograms wasn’t much, and it might even be insufficient. But since she was imposing a limit, the little sister didn’t need to worry about that.

“Alright, we’ll have an agreement, you clever little thing. But can you write it?”

The elder sister squatted down, tapped Bai Zhi’s nose, and looked at her with a playful smile.

“Sister, I can’t, but you surely can, right?”

Bai Zhi blinked at the elder sister, showing an expression of great trust.

How could she possibly not know how to write? But then again, she was a child now, so naturally, she couldn’t, could she?

“Okay then, I’ll write it, as long as you trust me.”

The elder sister smiled, feeling relieved. If this young girl could really do everything, she would start questioning her life. If little sisters these days are so capable, doesn’t it mean the older generation is just a wave dying on the beach after being pushed by the newer one?

The elder sister quickly took out some paper and a pen and drafted two copies of the agreement, which roughly included the following content.

Bai Zhi had to provide twenty kilograms of Green Bean Cake to the elder sister by the day before the market gathering, at four dollars per kilogram. If there were additional orders, the elder sister needed Bai Zhi’s agreement.

Bai Zhi quickly signed her name, and the two got acquainted. Bai Zhi also learned the elder sister’s name, Fang Ruo.

“Sister Fang Ruo, are you 18 yet?”

Bai Zhi asked in a soft voice, looking at Fang Ruo curiously because Fang Ruo had a baby face, which made her look particularly young.

“18?”

Fang Ruo reacted as if she had just heard a joke, clearly very amused.

“Bai Zhi, if I were really 18, I’d be laughing. I’m 22.”

“Wow, I can’t tell. You look so young, Sister. Well then, Grandpa and I will go back and get everything ready.”

After complimenting Fang Ruo, Bai Zhi prepared to leave.

“Your lips are sweet, let me treat you to some cake.”

Fang Ruo said, pulling out two small cakes, priced at one yuan each, cup-sized, and beautifully adorned with cream and a small umbrella on top. They looked pretty enough to give as gifts; anything bigger and she would have found it painful.

Bai Zhi was not bashful—after all, they would need to cooperate in the future, so there was no need to be overly formal.

“Then thank you, Sister Fang Ruo.”

Bai Zhi didn’t look much at the cake, simply taking it in her hands and following Bai Dan out.

Seeing this, Fang Ruo felt even more that this little sister was quite clever; most kids would probably only have eyes for the cream, but she, smiling, thanked her as if the cake were just an ordinary gift, an interesting little sister indeed.

Bai Dan seemed preoccupied and spoke to Bai Zhi after they stepped outside.

“Xingxing, would you like a bigger cake? Should Grandpa buy you one?”

He saw how happy Xingxing was with the two small cakes; she clearly wanted a bigger one but hadn’t asked, probably because she was reluctant to spend the money.

“Grandpa, I don’t like sweet things, remember? And I don’t like this creamy stuff either. I just didn’t want to show it in front of Sister Fang Ruo.”

Indeed, whether it was the original owner or herself, neither liked sweets. She didn’t out of dislike, whereas the original owner had never had sweets, and even when she had later desired them, Bai Yu and the others did not indulge her.

She had thus told herself she didn’t like them, essentially to mask the disappointment of not having them.

But really, this cake was nothing special; in the world of reality, nothing was impossible to create. A popular app said so: you don’t need an oven to make a cake; a rice cooker or a steamer would do. And as for the cream, you just need a bottle and some eggs, no big deal.

However, now she couldn’t know these things; at least not until she was more familiar with Sister Fang Ruo. She could cook because the original owner could.

She could also do housework and even had great strength, but she shouldn’t know what she wasn’t supposed to know.

If she were the original owner, nobody would ever suspect. After all, this was the world of the book, and the author’s setting inevitably meant that the group pet could do anything. But she couldn’t; she was a supporting character. What if her unusual abilities led to her being captured for study?

She feared even more that if Grandpa found out she wasn’t the original owner, would he become angry, even hate her?

Complex emotions flickered in Bai Zhi’s eyes; she would never reveal this secret to anyone.

From this moment, she was a person of this world; she had the original owner’s memories and emotions. She was a native here; she was Bai Zhi.

Bai Dan thought about it and indeed, Xingxing had never liked sweets much—but this one was quite tasty.

“Xingxing, do you want to try it? The flavor is quite good; Grandpa had it once and liked it.”

Bai Zhi smiled sweetly. Elderly folks were always like that, forever wanting to reserve the best for her, whether it was meat or this cream cake.

“Grandpa, how about we each have one when we get home? I’ll try it, but you have to eat with me. And later, I’ll learn from Sister Fang Ruo. Once I’ve mastered it, I’ll make it for you every day?”

She just worried that Grandpa might find it too rich eventually.

In fact, Bai Dan had no suspicions. In this era, it was quite normal for kids to try every way to earn some money to buy snacks and support their families. Bai Da and others even cut wood or dug orchids when they were kids.

“Okay, my star, you are such a good girl, always looking out for Grandpa and knowing how to earn money.”

Bai Dan took Bai Zhi by the hand, preparing to take a bus home. Today’s haul wasn’t small; with two pots in the carrying basket and also the milk, green beans, and red beans that Ye Xiu had bought, they decided to take a bus,

During market days, catching a bus was easy, but otherwise, there was only one in the morning and one in the evening.

Once home, Bai Zhi started to deal with the pots, cutting two big chunks of fat from the preserved meat and placing them in the pot to start the fire.
