Xiaoxiao laughed, "Hehe, I came just in time for your cooking. I’ll make this dish for you now, just wait and see, it’s really delicious."

Yang Sanzhu’s wife heard this and quickly called out to her eldest daughter-in-law, "Boss’s wife, let’s go and help her."

Her second daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she shouldn’t go to the kitchen. She could sit and shell the corn here; the kitchen required moving around, and there was water, which was slippery and dangerous.

Everyone chatted as they left the house and continued working in the yard, all eagerly anticipating just how delicious these bean sprouts, which could bring Silver to their family, would turn out to be.

Xiaoxiao and the others went to the kitchen. "Auntie, do you have white flour?"

"Yes!" Yang Sanzhu’s wife, hearing Xiaoxiao ask for white flour, quickly brought out her small treasured stash of it.

Their family was slightly better off than others in the village, but white rice and white flour were still rare treats, too precious to have often. Now, since Yang Ming’s wife wanted some, she didn’t hesitate to hand it over.

Yang Ming’s wife must have a good reason for wanting the white flour.

Actually, Xiaoxiao didn’t have any specific reason, she just had a craving for spring pancakes.

Thin spring pancakes wrapped with stir-fried bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, green onions, and bean paste were the best.

Xiaoxiao mixed the dough herself while leaving the peeling and shredding of the potatoes to the older sister-in-law and aunt.

Once Xiaoxiao finished kneading the dough, she divided it into small balls, flattened one, applied a layer of oil on it, placed another dough ball on top, pressed it flat, then added another ball. She did this three times, finally rolling it into one appropriately thin pancake. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Seeing Xiaoxiao’s method, Yang Sanzhu’s wife felt a twinge of concern for Xiaoxiao’s liberal use of oil—it seemed wasteful. But considering Xiaoxiao had good reason, and she was here to help them earn Silver, even if a whole pot of oil was used, there was no place for dissatisfaction.

Boss’s wife spoke up upon seeing Xiaoxiao’s use of oil, "Sister-in-law, why do you need so much oil?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao realized in her excitement over the successful bean sprouts, she had gotten carried away, wanting to show off her skills and forgetting Aunt’s family circumstances. Aware of her tendency to act on impulse, she quickly said, "Aunt, I used more oil and flour than necessary. I’ll have my family bring some over later."

"Yang Ming’s wife, what are you saying? Aunt can afford to feed you for a meal, and besides, you’re making money for us. We’ll earn Silver from this, so why worry about a bit of oil and flour?"

Yang Sanzhu’s wife was right. She saw the big picture and believed Xiaoxiao could definitely help them make money. Compared to that, this amount of oil and flour was nothing.

Xiaoxiao chuckled, acknowledging that Aunt was holding back and letting her use what she wanted, which was already quite generous. Regardless of what Aunt said, she needed to send something over soon. Even though she could be wasteful herself, she couldn’t be wasteful with others’ resources. She explained, "I’m planning to make four-layer pancakes. If I apply oil before cooking, they can be easily separated into four layers once done. Normally, there could be more layers, but our pan isn’t suitable for that many."

"Wow, you can do it like that? We usually only make one layer," Yang Sanzhu’s wife exclaimed in surprise. Making such elaborate pancakes was unheard of in their village, but those must be delicious with all that oil.
