After getting the information she wanted, Yan Jin suddenly recalled Yu Shu seemed to have said yesterday that white sugar cake tasted quite good. Although she didn’t like eating sweets, she could still buy some white sugar cake back for Yu Shu. This way she wouldn’t have to eat the sweets with furrowed brows while still being able to smell the sweet fragrance, killing three birds with one stone.

Yan Jin: “Give me a jin of white sugar cake.”

After saying that, Yan Jin remembered once when she was home, her mom had excitedly bought a big bag of sweets, saying the kiddo loved eating these sweets and the flavor must be fantastic.

But Madam Yan, Yan’s father, and Yan Jin all didn’t have a sweet tooth. The family of three couldn’t finish that big bag of sweets.

Recalling that cloyingly sweet dark dessert, Yan Jin asked the helper, “Can you add more white sugar for me? I can pay extra.”

The helper readily agreed, “How much do you want to add?”

“Add one-” Yan Jin was about to say a jin but felt it wasn’t right and paused.

Originally Yan Jin was thinking of asking Yu Shu for help later. Since he had such a sweet tooth, she planned to buy some white sugar cakes he liked to bribe him in advance.

Yan Jin didn’t like sweets and wasn’t too familiar with the weight of a jin of dessert. She felt adding a jin of white sugar to the white sugar cake seemed stingy and not generous enough, so she unhesitatingly changed her words, “No, add two jin.”

[Wait! Someone quick stop Yan Jin! The white sugar added to a portion of white sugar cake sold outside at most won’t exceed 50g!] [Although I could more or less guess Yan Jin lacked some common sense about daily life, I really didn’t expect this scene.] [From how they wanted to hire chefs earlier, not just one but several chefs to take turns cooking, I could tell these two were the type whose fingers never touched a drop of spring water. Rather than hoping they have common sense, it’s better to hope the sun rises from the west.]

While the bullet screen was guessing when Yan Jin and Yu Shu, two people who spent money generously, would run out of money, a comment different from the rest quietly floated by in the livestream room.

[Right now I just want to know, whose stomach will those white sugar cakes she bought end up in.]

①White sugar cake is nine hundred wen per jin

Prices are referenced as follows:

At the end of Emperor Gaozong of Song’s Shaoxing reign, “The price of lamb in Wu was extremely high, with meat at nine hundred wen per jin.” (Yijian Dingzhi, Volume 17, “Sanya Town”) A jin of lamb cost nine hundred wen. While the monthly salary of a county-level public security bureau chief (county captain) was only seven thousand seven hundred wen at the time (see History of Song Dynasty, Volume 171, “Salary System Volume 1”). Earning a month’s salary wasn’t even enough to buy ten jin of lamb.

②The inspiration for the chopping board being covered densely with ants came from my real experience. The chopping board was washed clean, maybe there was oil on the pot lid that attracted the ants. It was so scary, so Yan Jin and the others got a fright too.

I’ve stockpiled 70,000 words of drafts, hehe. If I can make the ranking that period, I can update 10,000 words daily for a week. *Clasps hands*
