Chapter 268: [267] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 118 (1 Update)

They only realized upon entering the courtyard that only the elderly couple lived in the home, their son and his wife residing in town, seldom returning.

The courtyard was small, likely because they had few children, a son and a daughter, who now lived in town.

Although they were merely lodgers, the elderly couple still fulfilled the duties of a landlord, arranging their horses in their donkey stable and feeding them hay.

Inside there was a donkey; the yard also had a cart that was seemingly used daily to sell tofu, with the donkey also needed to grind the tofu.

By now, the sky had turned dark, but seeing that they were young and polite, having traveled a difficult journey, he prepared for them a meal of bean dregs porridge and a chilled tofu block (stored in the well), the flavor was pure and perhaps because they were famished, they found the tofu exceptionally delicious.

After they ate, he arranged for them to stay in his son and daughter-in-law’s room; it was very clean, and they did not hesitate, being mindful of the elderly couple’s age, and quickly went to sleep without making much noise.

Unexpectedly, the rain showed no signs of stopping, its pattering sound made her unable to sleep, so after Yaya had fallen asleep, she went to work in the "space."

The "space" was still at Level 5, and the promotion from Level 5 to Level 6 required three million Gold Coins, a million more than the two million needed to rise from Level 4 to Level 5.

When she had left the island, her points in the "space" had reset to zero due to leveling up; in other words, she had to start accumulating points anew when she landed on the island.

Thus, if the alarm in the "space" rang during the day, she had to find time to enter it to harvest crops and hoe the ground.

During her time in the small fishing village, she hadn’t sold anything in the Space Mall, so the balance there remained the approximate five million she had brought from the island.

The "space" warehouse was also constantly at full capacity; these items were her future memories, so she was not hurried to consume them.

Linhai in Yan Country wasn’t short on seafood, but as Beijing sat in the geographic center of Yan, it wasn’t coastal, so the supplies had to be transported from surrounding towns, naturally driving up the costs.

It wouldn’t be easy to enjoy seafood anytime and anywhere as she had on the island.

After completing the tasks in the "space," she took a shower, changed her underwear, then went back to sleep clothed.

Xiao Yu was a light sleeper; before it was light, she heard noises from the mill outside. On opening the door, she found that the elderly couple had already begun to busily work.

Her drowsiness completely vanished at the thought of how kindly the couple had let them stay the previous night; she couldn’t just stand by without offering help.

With the rain still dripping down, she frowned, opened the door, and walked over, asking worriedly,

"Grandma, Grandpa, with such heavy rain, do you still need to deliver tofu?"

The elderly couple supplied tofu to several shops in town, and if any was unsold, they would stay at the town entrance to sell the remaining tofu before returning home.

"Yes, we usually make fifty jin. The beans were soaked yesterday, and if we don’t make tofu today, I’m worried they’ll spoil, so we must go even if the weather is bad."

This was Xiao Yu’s first time seeing how ancient people made tofu, so she helped out while observing their movements.

As for the elderly couple, seeing her quick hands and feet, helping with both driving the donkey and sieving the soy milk, they quickly let down their guard and started working without any reservations.
