The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Going to Experience the Dungeon (3)_1

After steaming the sweet potatoes, she mixed the sweet potato flour and began making steamed dumplings with mixed vegetables. For the noodles, she rolled out the dough and cut it into wide strips. Once these preparations were complete, the steamed sweet potatoes were ready. She fried sweet potato balls, and while the oil was still hot, she also fried sweet potato chunks and made candied sweet potatoes.

There were a few courses, including snacks, staples, sweet, and savory dishes.

When Meng Dinglun tried the candied sweet potatoes, he picked up a piece and pulled a thread over two feet long, turning his face red as he struggled to bite into it.

By the time they finished eating here, Meng Dinglun had also gained a deeper understanding of sweet potatoes.

Only then did Pei Qin say, "The Wang family and Chang’s house in Yuanyang County have already decided to plant sweet potatoes next year. If they grow a lot, the Wang family’s rice and noodle shops will have cheap sweet potato flour for sale next year!"

She still knew people at the Wang family...

Meng Dinglun didn’t ask her this time; instead, it was the Master next to him who asked her about her earlier visit to the Wang family’s rice and noodle shop.

"Oh! I am Wang Ting’s teacher," Pei Qin said nonchalantly.

A female teacher, if she didn’t have something special about her, what on earth could she be teaching the Wang family’s young master? Surely it wasn’t embroidery?

Pei Qin wouldn’t tell them, preferring to let them guess!

Meng Dinglun was just beginning to think...

Outside, his little daughter came sliding over on a skateboard, coolly greeting Meng Dinglun with a "Dad!"

But as soon as she had greeted him, her skateboard plunged down the steps, hurtling towards them.

Pei Qin looked skyward, sighed, and, with her feet moving quicker than her body, she stepped forward, grabbed Little Radish firmly off the board, and with a press and flick of her foot, the skateboard obediently ended up in her hand.

Meng Hongchan, who had just learned to skateboard, struggled with picking up the skateboard from the ground without bending over, a feat that was quite impressive. Seeing how effortlessly Pei Qin flicked the skateboard up into her hand, she was stunned and asked in surprise, "You know how to skateboard too!?"

"But I absolutely don’t want to teach you!" Pei Qin looked at her somewhat breathlessly.

At this, Meng Hongchan took the skateboard from her hands, "What kind of amazing skills do you have?"

I can do everything you can do, and everything you can’t! Pei Qin thought to herself, but she didn’t say it out loud.

"Didn’t you hear me asking you a question?" Meng Hongchan glared.

"I heard you." Pei Qin chuckled.

Meng Dinglun frowned, "Chan’er!"

Meng Hongchan, clearly spoiled, pouted at him and continued to stare at Pei Qin, "There are not many in Runing Prefecture who can skate better than me. Tell me, what amazing skills can you do!?"

"... I can do them all," Pei Qin hesitantly said.

"How could you possibly know them all!? Don’t just talk big without proof. Skate a bit for me to see, then I’ll believe you!" Meng Hongchan looked at her own skateboard somewhat reluctantly, then handed it to her.

Pei Qin sighed helplessly, resigning to the fact that she was a commoner and the other a noble. Taking the skateboard, she skated straight ahead, flicked the board over a flowerpot, up the steps, down the slope, lean on the corridor railing, and finally shot straight down the stairs, not losing control like Meng Hongchan did, but with stability, almost as if she were about to take flight. She spun around and stopped in front of her, handing the skateboard back.

Meng Hongchan’s eyes widened, and her mouth hung open as she stared, "You... you..."

"Sir Magistrate! We’ll be heading out now! If you have more questions, just send word! As for the sweet potatoes... let’s stick to calling them ’red potatoes’ from now on!" Pei Qin waved her hand, summoned Pei Qian, and walked off with Sun Lizheng.

"Don’t go! Stop!" Meng Hongchan shouted from behind.

But Pei Qin walked even faster. Children from rich families... it was better to stay away from them! She wasn’t the Pied Piper of children! The little radishes at home were enough to handle as is!
