I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 104: Chapter 104 I Also Know Your Name Is Bai Zhi Chapter 104: Chapter 104 I Also Know Your Name Is Bai Zhi Bai Xiang was in so much pain he couldn’t speak, so Bai Zhi quickly went over to take the basket off his back. Though it didn’t hinder walking, carrying mountain pears was out of the question.

“Why can’t I have a waist too?”

Bai Xiang felt incredibly frustrated. Just because he was inferior to his cousin, did that mean he didn’t deserve a waist?

And to think his first reaction to the pain wasn’t concern but a cold feeling washing over him.

“Mom says little kids don’t have them. When I mentioned my ‘old waist’ before, she said kids don’t have waists?”

Bai Fei walked up to Bai Xiang and poked him hard in the waist.

“Ow, that hurts!” Bai Xiang cried out in pain, but he didn’t tell Bai Fei that actually, kids do have waists.

“Looking at how things are, cousin, you take our cousin down the hill first, and I’ll go up and down a couple more times,” Bai Fei suggested.

He probably couldn’t carry anything anymore.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiang’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver. No way, that wouldn’t do. What would others think if they saw him like this? Would they see him as a weakling…

Even weaker than his younger sisters?

“Yeah, okay, big brother, you really are useless.”

Bai Fei nodded in agreement, shouldered half of the load she was carrying, and went down the mountain with Bai Xiang watching Bai Zhi easily descend.

“There are also shaomai at home, help yourselves. I’ll continue carrying; I’ve got my basketful. Also, you guys peel the pears, but don’t make the skin too thick. Then, when I come back, we can start on the first pot.”

After giving her instructions, Bai Zhi went back up the mountain, only to encounter an unexpected person.

“Little brother, you again?”

It was Moh Li, standing by the mountain pears. He wasn’t eating; he just sat there, seeming to be waiting for Bai Zhi.

“I’m not little, I’m older than you.”

Moh Li frowned, but because he had a baby face, it made him look like he was holding back a pout; it was hard to tell at all that he was displeased.

Nor could one discern his feelings.

“How did you know?” Bai Zhi blurted out, then immediately felt stupid for asking such a thing. With the ‘group pet’ around, perhaps her ancestors had already spilled the beans.

Moh Li stayed silent. He, of course, knew because the voices of Ouyang and that girl were so loud he would have had trouble not hearing them.

His gaze stayed fixed on the basket in Bai Zhi’s hand and the pears beside her.

What was he implying? Some kind of silent guessing game?

Sorry, she didn’t have the time, nor was she curious why Moh Li was here.

Anyway, anyone in the company of the male lead wouldn’t garner her affection. That she hadn’t acted was sign enough that she was in a good mood.

Bai Zhi just went about her business, placing the pears into her basket. Feeling a bit hungry, she decided to start on her lunch.

As for whether to share some with Moh Li, sorry, she had no such intention. Wouldn’t it be delicious enough just for her?

And as for whether eating in the presence of others would be off-putting,

No, it wouldn’t be. Especially when you’re job-hunting in a talent market, you can eat no matter how many people are watching.

Bai Zhi ate with gusto. Even without heating, the shaomai still tasted pretty good, very flavorful.

Moh Li finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Can I buy your shaomai with money? And your canned goods?”

He had previously bought from another boy, hence his interest in buying again, but to his surprise, he found the girl was connected to him.

“You… want to buy?”

Bai Zhi did not expect Moh Li to say that. She was full after just a few, and it wasn’t that she couldn’t sell the rest; after all, selling to anyone was making money. She didn’t have the burden of refusing certain customers.

“Sure, the shaomai are three for one yuan, the canned goods aren’t ready yet, that’s my cousin’s responsibility. Go find him to buy.”

They had agreed that Bai Xiang would take care of all the sales by herself, they wouldn’t interfere or do any selling. To avoid any confusion with the prices.

So, she isn’t concerned with the canned goods.

“I’ll take them all.”

Moh Li directly took out ten yuan and handed it to Bai Zhi,

“I didn’t bring any money, how can I give you change?”

Because she had gone up the mountain, Bai Zhi naturally didn’t bring any money. She only had shaomai worth five yuan left, and that was only because Bai Fei and the others had gone home to eat.

“Keep it, I’ll buy more next time.”

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be taking care of her business for a long time to come.

So, is this a regular customer?

“Alright, no problem. Then I’ll accept it, here, have a mountain pear.”

Bai Zhi handed a mountain pear to Moh Li, who frowned. Could such a small one be tasty?

“Try it, the taste is pretty good. Sour and sweet.”

Moh Li looked at Bai Zhi, watching her scrape off the skin of the mountain pear with a sickle?

That’s not right, the skin was still on, wasn’t it?

At a glance, he knew this girl must be from a wealthy family, otherwise, she wouldn’t look at him so strangely. Is it that weird?

It’s fresh just like potatoes that have a thin film on them that peels off easily, isn’t it the same principle?

It’s the same with mountain pears.

Despite finding it strange and unbelievable, Moh Li followed Bai Zhi’s method and found that the pear became clean, but the skin was still on. Biting into it, the skin was a tad astringent, but not unpleasant to eat.

After eating the pear, Bai Zhi prepared to go back down the mountain. She had to make another trip, and suddenly, Moh Li called out to her.

“Moh Li, my name is Moh Li.”

I know, your name is Bai Zhi.

“Oh. Then I’ll head back now, I’ll come again tomorrow, bring you some shaomai. Come a bit earlier in the morning, then you can have them warm.”

Bai Zhi didn’t ask what he was actually there for, it wasn’t her concern.

“Okay.”

Bai Zhi stood up and went down the mountain. But Moh Li, Mo Xiangli, that was indeed a nice name, felt familiar?

Had she heard it before?

Probably not, earning small money was enough.

On her last trip, Moh Li was no longer there; he must have left.

Having carried everything back home, Bai Zhi began working, Bai Xiang and Bai Fei worked quickly. They had to, as Bai Xiang didn’t want her cousins to think she couldn’t handle tough labor, nor something as simple as this.

Bai Zhi started making the canned goods, while Bai Xiang and the others continued peeling, working until the afternoon. Everything was done, and needed to cool down in two large pots before being bottled.

The bottles were taken directly from the vendor; this time they didn’t use glass because they feared breakage. When Bai Xiang brought them back, he carried them in a bag, Li Si almost thought he had gone garbage picking.

Of course, they were the type of cups used for making tea, just a bit more than one yuan each, from the local store that gave them a discount for their partnership. They would deduct it from the cost later.

The price was acceptable, so Bai Xiang agreed, and once home, they were washed with hot water and wiped clean.

Bai Zhi took out the meat. After blanching it, she fried it in the pot until both sides were golden brown and then removed it.

Then she took out the dried pickled vegetables, soaked them to rehydrate, they were made from bok choy and looked nice and yellow.

Ginger and garlic were fried in the pot for aroma, then soy sauce, dark soy sauce, seasoning, and even some roux were added before the meat slices were put in. Finally, the meat was taken out, and the hydrated pickled vegetables were put in along with water.
