The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Zhao Haohao's joy was so intense that Ya Ya, seeing him so happy he was about to jump for joy, also grinned and laughed heartily.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, if the chickens hit me in the future, you'll help me."

"What kind of chicken attacks people? Send it to my belly, I'll give it a proper rite of passage." Zhang Limin and Wei Jingming's family had just entered the store when they heard Ya Ya say this.

"Good morning, Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Wei!" Ya Ya's eyes lit up when she saw Grandpa Zhang enter the door, and she greeted him warmly with her little face raised.

"Brother Zhao just said today is Crazy Thursday, everyone has to deal with three chickens, and the chickens are going to fight us!"

Zhang Limin looked completely bewildered; what was all this about?

Wei Jingming's youngest daughter covered her mouth and chuckled secretly. Elementary school students these days are really funny; they can spread any new joke or meme so quickly.

Although not every elementary school student can access these trending jokes and memes, and not every student is allowed to use their phone to watch short videos, if even one student in the class sees them, the whole class will be talking about them within a day.

Anyone who can't keep up or understands will be criticized for being old-fashioned and out of touch.

"And Grandpa Zhang, we've already started using the incubator you gave me. We'll be able to hatch two hundred chicks next month."

Hearing that the free-range chickens he had been longing for had taken their first step, Zhang Limin's eyes lit up. He stopped worrying about what kind of chickens were fighting with people, subconsciously swallowed, and rubbed his hands together: "Oh my, I'm really looking forward to it. This old man hasn't eaten authentic free-range chickens in a long time."

"Hey? Boss Cao, Hao Hao, what are you eating? Newly made shumai?"

Cao Xiulian swallowed the last bite of the "Shan Hai Dou" and explained to Grandpa Zhang with a smile, "It's not shumai. This is something Ya Ya made herself. It's called 'Shan Hai Dou,' and I've never heard of it before. It smells delicious! It contains small fish and shrimp caught from the stream, as well as wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. The texture is both bouncy and crisp. I just don't know if you can get used to the taste of these wild vegetables."

Don't stand, everyone, please sit down.

As they listened, the group couldn't help but gulp and swallow.

How could anyone not like it? Just look at these ingredients: wild fish and shrimp caught from the stream, fresh wild vegetables, tender bamboo shoots...

They heard yesterday morning that there would be a good meal today, so they got up before dawn to hurry, afraid that they would miss out. They originally thought it would be soup or flatbread, but who knew it would be such a sumptuous combination of ingredients.

I made a profit!

"Yes, I packed the ones for Auntie and Brother Zhao! Grandpa Zhang, please have a seat. I brought some for everyone, there's one for each of you!"

Hearing her aunt praise the food she made, Ya Ya's little face flushed with pride.

"Alright, alright, Lao Wei, let's go sit down first, don't stand at the door." Zhang Limin greeted Lao Wei's family, and even stole a glance at the small wooden box as he passed by.

"Wow, the outer skin of this sea cucumber dumpling is so translucent, just like a shrimp dumpling!"

Wei Jingming nodded in approval, "That's right, thin skin and generous filling, the name and appearance are so novel, no wonder we've never seen it before, it's packed with ingredients!"

After saying that, Wei Jingming remembered that the young boss had said he was going to give it to them? But his family consisted of seven people, and they were all quite large; it wouldn't be fair to expect them to take advantage of all seven of them. He quickly raised his hand: "Young boss, I'm sorry, we have a lot of people and we feel bad taking it for free. How about we pay for it? How much does one cost?"

Ya Ya carried the food box to the table, stood on tiptoe, and lifted it onto the table: "It's free! We promised to give it to everyone to try! Uncle Wei, you and Grandpa Zhang come every day, you're all Ya Ya's friends!"

Wei Jingming was taken aback, looking at the little girl who was almost as tall as the table.

Are they friends?

Is a child's definition of a friend really that simple and direct?

"Haha, okay, friend, the young boss is right, we're friends, so Uncle Wei won't stand on ceremony with friends! Thank you!"

"I really didn't expect that we would make such a good friend since we came here. Thank you so much!" Wei Jingming's mother also looked at Ya Ya with a smile.

Looking at the bamboo-green food box on the table, Wei Jingming's wife couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Wei, look at this! This food box is so beautifully and exquisitely made!"

Ya Ya climbed onto the specially cleared chair and gently lifted the lid: "One for each person, pick it up yourself! Be gentle, there's soup inside!"

As soon as the lid is opened, a fresh aroma, mixed with the fragrance of wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, slowly wafts out, both delicate and rich.

Zhang Limin and Wei Jingming stared at it closely and were both slightly taken aback.

The pastries in the food box look so good! They're nothing like the ones in the small wooden box from before...which looked so rough.

The translucent, thin rice noodle skin is filled with plenty of filling, and the inside of the rice noodle skin also holds clear broth. When Ya Ya moves the food box slightly, the broth inside sways gently.

"Oh my, this wrapping method is so exquisite, it looks like a little money bag, I almost don't want to eat it."

"There are different kinds underneath! Aunt Chuntao made several kinds, and the food boxes were also made by Aunt Chuntao and Grandma." Ya Ya smiled and lifted the food box layer by layer. The first layer was a triangular mountain and sea bag, the second layer was a purse shape, and the third layer was a small rectangular envelope.

"My goodness, this isn't just a dessert, it's a work of art! Chun Tao's skills are incredible!"

When Ya Ya heard everyone praising Aunt Chun Tao, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, like she had drunk a big cup of milk tea.

Zhang Limin didn't stand on ceremony. He gently picked up one with chopsticks in one hand, supporting it from below with the other, afraid of accidentally breaking the translucent thin skin. He first bit a small opening in the skin, slowly sucking the clear and delicious broth inside into his mouth, and then nibbling on the filling in small bites.

"So fresh!"

Wei Jingming's youngest daughter squinted her eyes, chewed slowly, and was so engrossed in the food that she didn't want to speak, as if the tempting aroma would waft away if she did.

After getting off the electric scooter, Zhou Zihan even straightened his collar at the door. He was definitely the first one there today; he got up ten minutes earlier than yesterday.

This time, he also prepared a tablet and flashcards, and even took the little red flower that the teacher had previously rewarded him with. When Sister Ya finishes reciting a row, she will be rewarded with a little red flower.

To my surprise, when I looked up, there were already two tables full of people in the restaurant!

Zhao Haohao was already busy tidying up the table, washing the pots, and adding water, his hands and feet never stopping.

Zhou Zihan felt dizzy. Why am I late again? I got up earlier today than yesterday. Who is it that's so annoying? Doesn't this kid have a chance to live?!

After distributing the eight bowls of food, Ya Ya closed the food box and slid off the chair. As soon as she came back, she saw Zhou Zihan standing at the door, his expression a mix of confusion and grinning.

"Good morning, Brother Zihan!"

Ya Ya ran to the door with the food box in her arms. Just as she reached the door, she saw Grandma Li and Sister Yuan Yuan coming over. She quickly put the food box down, leaned against the door, and waved to them, "Sister Yuan Yuan, Grandma Li! Come on, I brought some delicious food today!"
