Chapter 92: Discovery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a very trivial and tedious task to grind the soybeans into pulp with a stone mill.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhan was skilled and the stone mill he made was slightly easier to use. For a woman like Li Miao, who was slightly inferior in strength, using it was just a matter of using a little more strength.

If she didn’t do anything, she would panic.

…

Li Miao ground the soybeans according to the amount of two tofu plates. The more she made, the more money she could earn.

The soybean milk was placed in the pot to boil.

Yue Jiaojiao smelled it and went into the kitchen. She came out with two bowls of soy milk and added some sugar. She then brought them back to the courtyard happily. “Li Miao, you should have a bowl too.”

Li Miao looked at the soy milk in the bowl and carefully took a sip.

“These soybeans are a treasure. They can be used to make so many delicious things. The soybean can be made into a drink or tofu. There are so many versions.”

“Soybeans can be made into more things than this. When Zhao Zhan has time in the future, I’ll ask him to make them for you to try.”

Lin Yunxu’s eyes were fixed on Yue Jiaojiao’s bowl.

This thing looked white. Was it a special soup stock made from bones? If it were bones, the aroma of the meat should have spread far and wide. He was propped on the high wall, so it was impossible for him to not smell the meat.

“Shuqin.” Lin Yunxu didn’t dare to speak loudly. He beckoned Shuqin to stand on a stool next to him. “You’re the only one in the courtyard who can cook. look, what are they drinking?”

Shuqin wasn’t tall enough, so she could only try her best to lean against the wall and tiptoe.

“I can’t tell.” Shuqin stared at the strange things in the courtyard, but she couldn’t understand anything. “And that big stone thing in the courtyard, I’ve never seen it before.”

“What use do I have for you?”

Lin Yunxu kicked Shuqin to the ground, then coldly ordered Dingli, “When it’s late at night, sneak in and steal some of the things next to the stone. No matter what they’re drinking, it came from that stone. After you get it, give it to Shang. He’s traveled enough and has seen many rare things. He might know what this is.”

When Lin Yunxu and Dingli were talking, they did not notice that Li Miao was looking at Yue Jiaojiao and asking in surprise, “Jiaojiao, did you hear that? I think someone was screaming just now. It sounded a little miserable.”

Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were cold, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes. “There are a few stray cats and dogs living next door who like to frolic. I didn’t know what they were up to at first, but I kind of know a little now.”

“Then we have to be careful. The things in the courtyard are very precious.”

Li Miao couldn’t sit still. She finished the soy milk in one gulp and went to clean up.

“There’s no need for that. They won’t be able to understand it even if they see it,” Yue Jiaojiao casually flipped through a page of the storybook. She was still in a good mood when she saw the interesting content. She smiled and said, “Let them do what they want. It’s still not certain who will be the unlucky one in the end. Li Miao, you don’t have to act so deliberately. Otherwise, if the people next door notice us, they might use some other means that we’re not aware of. It’ll be even more difficult to guard against then.”

Hearing Yue Jiaojiao’s words, Li Miao put away her thoughts of looking around and tried her best to act like she didn’t hear the movement next door.

When Lin Yunxu leaned back against the wall, he saw that the courtyard was quiet.

He didn’t notice anything strange, and his eyes fell on Yue Jiaojiao’s body.
