Because of this dream, Xie Zhinuan woke up feeling extremely good.
While cooking breakfast, she hummed a little tune.
She boiled ten plain eggs, stewed an egg custard for the young master next door, cooked a pot of white porridge, fried some pickled vegetables, mixed Kalimeris Indica, and baked a few pancakes.
By the time she finished cooking, Yuanbao was already waiting at the door.
Xie Zhinuan always gave him plenty of food, enough for two, forming a tacit understanding between them. Without speaking it aloud, they both understood that Xie Zhinuan would prepare the foods brought by Yuanbao, and she would keep the leftovers for herself, devoid of any old-fashioned scruples about not eating or using leftovers.
"I'll be going then!" Yuanbao said, then added, "Those guys are rich, so it's okay to charge them more as long as the food is tasty!"
"..." Xie Zhinuan paused and smiled, "Understood. But for now, I don't really have anything special to offer!"
