Hi! If you're new here and wondering why the translation to this novel and Lazy Stepmother  have a lot of parts that does not make sense (or grammar error), it's because this novel novel and Lazy Stepmother are machine translated. I did edit them before sharing but I still couldn't catch everything so please bear with me (T_T ). You can also leave a comment on the section and I'll change them. Thank you and enjoy reading :D

Ji Wan'er pondered for a long time that night and came up with many ways to make money.

She had always enjoyed cooking in her previous life and was quite skilled at it. Judging from the reactions of the Xiao family, her cooking skills were considered good even in this era, and perhaps more appealing than in her previous life.

Since she often enjoyed experimenting with food, she decided to start with food to earn money.

For example, she could set up a stall and sell noodles. She believed that with her culinary skills, she could earn some silver coins.

Alternatively, she could make various snacks like cold skin noodles, fried pancake pancake, and meat-stuffed flatbreads.

She could also stir-fry some dishes to sell.

Or perhaps she could make pastries and sweets.

...

However, she dismissed each of these ideas one by one.

If she wanted to sell noodles, she would have to set up a stall outside. That would require a stove, charcoal, and a suitable pot. These items were heavy, and she would need to transport them to the town. It would require a cart.

She didn't plan on touching the two pieces of jewelry that Xiao Qingming had given her. In a few months, Xiao Qingming would be taking the exam and would need money while he was away. All she had in her possession was a little over 600 wen. With such limited startup capital, this idea couldn't come to fruition.

Even if she had enough startup capital, such heavy items would be difficult to transport to the town, even with a cart.

In her previous life, she hadn't done much physical labor. Her physical condition was average, and the original owner was also a pampered individual who, like her, hadn't done much physical work and had limited strength.

Xiao Qingming couldn't accompany her on this venture.

The two children were too young, and it was even more impossible for them to help.

As for "liangpi" (cold skin noodles), cucumbers were quite expensive this season, and she had no place to buy them. Besides, it was cold these days, and there might not be many customers. If she waited until it got hotter, then she could consider it. "Jianbing guozi" (deep-fried dough sticks rolled in a thin pancake) required a stove, and "roujiamo" (meat-stuffed flatbreads) had high costs. The consumption level of the people here was too low.

As for sweets, it was even more impossible. Sugar was truly precious, and even if she made something delicious, there wouldn't be many people who could afford it. If she went to a larger city, she could consider opening a dessert shop. She would definitely make a good amount of money then.

For the current situation, she still needed to find a low-cost and portable food business.

Lost in her thoughts and listening to the gentle rain outside, Ji Wan'er gradually fell asleep.

The sound of rain on the thatched roof, pitter-patter, disturbed Xiao Qingming's thoughts. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the person lying in bed.
