Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 39 - 38 Casting a Wide Net

Wu Lan saw it but didn’t say anything.

Jin Yu only knew the pastry smelled nice but didn’t expect it to taste so delicious; he couldn’t help going back into the kitchen and grabbed the remaining pieces, devouring them one after another.

Wu Lan huffed, “Tastes good, doesn’t it?”

“Not bad,” Jin Yu said insincerely.

Wu Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly, so it’s just ‘not bad’?

Would he eat that many if it was just ‘not bad’?

She couldn’t be bothered to nitpick with him.

She had figured it out; whatever he said about the woman he wanted to marry was just an excuse to brush her off.

Heh…

Thankfully, she had cast a wide net, asking countless relatives and friends, as well as her husband’s subordinates’ relatives and their friends, to set up connections.

She had led all the beautiful girls home to check them out, planning to get her son married off as soon as possible during his rest time.

As for the Zhu Family’s daughter, if her son didn’t fancy her, she couldn’t do anything, it was beyond her help.

Wu Lan made up her mind to get Jin Yu married off as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Jin Yu was thinking he had to speed up finding that woman.

His mother might be unreliable, but she did say something right, what if someone accidentally got pregnant?

An unwed pregnancy would do great harm to a girl; just the gossip from the village alone could drive someone to desperation.

Chastity was too important for a woman.

Thinking of marriage, Jin Yu closed his eyes, and for some reason, the image of that peculiar woman popped into his mind.

Tsk, aside from her bizarre behavior, she really is a ravishing beauty that one could feast their eyes on.

Realizing he had inexplicably thought of that improper woman, Jin Yu slapped his forehead and opened his eyes to look at the ceiling, feeling ridiculous.

Of all people to think about, it had to be the hooligan woman who barged into the men’s bathroom.

There’s truth in what women say, men really are creatures that think with their lower half.

Jin Yu discovered that he had just recalled the woman’s appearance and already had an inappropriate response.

The kind of beauty that could bring disaster to the nation and the people, a woman who could bring disaster to the nation and the people.

Jin Yu labelled Xu Niannian in his mind with such a tag.

On the other side, Xu Niannian returned home and made pumpkin cakes for her family first.

The pumpkin cakes made with Space Creek Water tasted so good that the whole family was glowing with happiness.

Yang Cuihua ate and said, “Baby Nian, how did you make this, why is it so delicious?”

Even Xu Dawei just buried his head in eating.

Not to mention Xu Duoyu and Xu Zhicheng; they stuffed their faces one after the other, causing Yang Cuihua to worry.

She wanted to scold them, but the food was so delicious that not only the two kids but even she herself couldn’t help wanting more.

Only Xu Zhiqiang’s actions didn’t seem as voracious.

Xu Niannian said with a smile, “Mom, if you like it, I’ll make more for you in the future.”

At these words, Yang Cuihua’s eyes immediately teared up, and the food in her mouth tasted even more delicious, “Mom knows, only Baby Nian knows how to be considerate to mom.”

Xu Niannian: “…”

Why must the old lady stir up family conflicts whenever she’s moved?

That one sentence immediately offended Xu Zhiqiang and his two brothers, as well as Xu Dawei.

Xu Niannian could only offer a dry smile.

Fortunately, Xu Zhiqiang and his brothers didn’t take such comments seriously.

Yang Cuihua, feeling sorry for her daughter, couldn’t help but wipe her mouth after eating, “Baby Nian, you’re only allowed this meal today, understand?

Keep the fine grains you’ve bought for yourself to eat.”

Xu Niannian smiled with pursed lips and remained silent.

To change the subject, she quickly told Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei that she had earned a total of 18 yuan today, with a profit of 15 yuan after deducting costs.

This news delighted Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei immensely.

They hadn’t been this happy even when they made over forty yuan from selling water, because that was a one-day thing, but the pancakes could be sold every day.

After dinner, Xu Niannian drank an entire big bowl of Chinese medicine in front of her family.

She contemplated removing the coarse cloth in a few days.

Wrapped in such a layer during this weather was unspeakably uncomfortable.

That night, after Xu Duoyu fell asleep, Xu Niannian slipped into the space again.

The Gourmet Food Manual couldn’t be taken outside at all.

Xu Niannian couldn’t wait to find out what the second dish was.

To discover the recipe for the second dish, she needed to make the first recipe’s dish to a certain standard.

Xu Niannian took out the pumpkin pancakes she had made in the evening and placed them in the creek following the method.

To see if they would be engulfed by the water.

The pumpkin pancakes she made for sale during the day were slightly too sweet because she hadn’t known that soaking the pumpkin slices in the creek water would enhance their sweetness and she used too much sugar.

For this evening’s batch, she intentionally avoided this problem.

Therefore, the pumpkin pancakes made in the evening were even more delicious than those sold in the morning.

Even for someone like her who had tasted all kinds of delicious food from around the world, they were mouthwatering, let alone for others.

Therefore, Xu Niannian was full of confidence, believing that she would surely succeed, and planned to memorize the recipe for the second dish tonight to try it out the next day.

However, reality was cruel, and the water did not engulf the pumpkin pancakes.

Xu Niannian waited for over ten minutes, but the pumpkin pancakes still floated on the silver surface of the water.

Xu Niannian was utterly astonished.

What’s going on?

Could it be a mistake?

They were made so deliciously, yet still didn’t meet the standard?

That’s not scientifically logical.

Could it be that the details didn’t meet the standard?

Xu Niannian was a person who refused to give up; since it didn’t work, she had to keep trying.

With a swoosh, she left the space and ran to the kitchen in the middle of the night, bringing out a bucket of Space Creek Water from the space to cook pumpkin pancakes.

The only thing Xu Niannian hadn’t done according to the recipe was to carve designs on the pumpkin pancakes.

Worried about waking up the family, Xu Niannian tried to make as little noise as possible, but she still woke up Xu Zhiqiang.

“Sis, what are you doing?” Xu Zhiqiang walked into the kitchen dressed.

Xu Niannian was momentarily stunned, thankfully, she had not removed the cloth from her face despite it being late at night.

“I’m baking pancakes.

You should go rest; tomorrow you’ll be accompanying me to sell them,”” she said.

Xu Zhiqiang, without a word, stepped in and began adding wood to the stove, “I’ll help you.”

“Ah… No need, really, go back to sleep.

You’ll need to be energized for tomorrow.”

Xu Zhiqiang was silent, his head down as he added wood to the fire.

After he finished, he immediately picked up the pumpkin he had bought for the villagers today and started peeling it.

His silent yet stubborn demeanor made Xu Niannian guiltily cover her face.

If she had known, she would never have impulsively come out.
