It was another sunny morning. Ella always got up early and started to clean up the housework. Now she also has her own partner - the puppet maid.

It's just that this "partner" can't speak and has been cleaning everything in the house silently.

Early in the morning, Ye Qimeng was woken up by the sound of "dinging and banging" in the kitchen downstairs, but it was the aroma of breakfast that finally prompted her to get up.

There was a smell of spices in the air, which made her involuntarily guess what was delicious today: "This smell is a bit familiar... uh... it's the aroma of cumin!"

She was lying on the soft big bed and stretching, but the saliva in her mouth was secreting crazily, and her stomach felt empty.

"Good morning, Mengmeng."

Alexa was sitting on a wooden chair by the window reading a book. When she heard the noise, she turned around and said good morning to her.

Ye Qimeng and Alexa shared a room. Since Alex was not yet awake and they could not contact their relatives in Baiyan City, Ye Qimeng enthusiastically asked them to continue staying. After all, he had been in their house before. Enjoyed some time in the palace.

"Good morning, Alexa, it's another wonderful morning!" Ye Qimeng has somewhat integrated into the environment here, and even the tone of his speech is similar to Alexa's.

The warm morning sun filtered in through the glass window. The light passed through the lace gauze curtain and cast mottled shadows onto Alexa's face, highlighting her beautiful facial features. Ye Qimeng, who was changing clothes, couldn't help but swallow. He took a sip of saliva.

"pat-"

Something suddenly fell to the ground with a dull sound, making Ye Qimeng curiously put down the lace jacket and blouse in his hand.

The thing seemed to have fallen out of the pouch on her shirt. She lowered her head and groped for a hard lump from under the bed, and found that it was a fragment of the stone door she had picked up the night the barrier was broken.

"Oh, it's this thing." She put the stone in the drawer of the bedside table and said casually.

Ye Qimeng was dressed neatly and after washing, she was ready to go downstairs to enjoy breakfast with Alexa.

When she passed Alex and Gouzi's room on the second floor, she couldn't help but sneak her head in to see if they were awake. Even though she knew it was impossible to wake up early, she still hoped that they would wake up unexpectedly one morning.

On the ceramic plate on the dining table downstairs, a lot of food has been prepared, including vegetable sandwich bread, fruit salad and two round fried soft-boiled eggs.

Next to the dinner plate are several glasses of red persimmon juice, squeezed from the fresh persimmon fruit sent by Orange Peel and his friends yesterday afternoon.

Now there is no magic cohesion in the persimmon fruit. It is just an ordinary fruit. The price is ridiculously low, but no one cares about it. Only persimmon rats will use it to satisfy their hunger.

But the persimmon jam made by Ella is really a masterpiece. It has inherited the virtues of hard work and ability from the house elves, and gradually cooperates more perfectly with the puppet maid. The desserts they made together were definitely sweeter and more delicious than what she had seen in White Flame City.

Ye Qimeng and Alexa were enjoying this pleasant breakfast together, and another aroma came from the oven.

Ella used iron pliers to pick out the wood that had been burnt to black charcoal, used the aftertaste to stuff a plate of prepared small pancakes into it, and used the remaining heat to bake new snacks, which is what it does every morning.

The puppet maid on the side poured the biscuits that had been cooling for a while into the large bamboo basket, filling two large baskets full of desserts.

In the end, Ella covered the blue tablecloth with satisfaction, and together with the puppet maid, brought the two large baskets to Ye Qimeng and Alexa.

"Master, I leave these two baskets of desserts to you!" Ella happily looked at the fruits of her labor and ordered.

The puppet maid nodded aside. Although she couldn't speak, Ye Qimeng felt that she seemed to have some self-awareness.

"Ella, are these dill cookies?"

Alexa opened a corner of the tablecloth, revealing the browned surface of the biscuit, with some fine cumin particles evenly distributed on the surface of the biscuit.

A strong aroma spread to Ye Qimeng's nose, making her really greedy.

"Ella, can I try one first? It's so fragrant. Did you add a lot of butter to the biscuit base?"

She couldn't help but put her hand into the bamboo basket and took out a cute round cake. She held it curiously in her hand and was reluctant to eat it.

"Master, cumin biscuits taste better with cheese!" Ella pointed to the cheese plate on the table, indicating that they could be eaten with cheese.

Ye Qimeng nodded, picked up a table knife, cut some triangular yellow cheese edges, and spread it on the surface of the biscuit. The cheese immediately melted into a fluid state by the residual temperature above.

She stuffed a handful of cumin biscuits into her mouth and felt a rich milky aroma, mixed with the mellow taste of cheese and the unique aroma of cumin. It was definitely a top-notch enjoyment.

"It's so delicious. These cumin biscuits will definitely sell well!" Ye Qimeng praised vigorously.

She feels that giving this dill biscuit and cheese a hundred points is not excessive.

According to the original plan, Ella rode on Bai Sha and went to the capital city of Santaros to see the doctor, asking him to find a way to wake up Alex and Gouzi.

Ye Qimeng and Alexa went to the market in Baiyan City to sell desserts to support their family.

In the end, the puppet maid was left at home to take care of Alex and Gouzi because of her human appearance.

When breakfast time was over, Ye Qimeng put on her familiar white hooded robe. The cracks on the edges and the holes in the back had been mended by Ella. The stitching is still a beautiful white rose pattern, making this ordinary cloak more unique.

"Goodbye, be careful on the road!"

"Ella, please pay attention to safety when you go to the capital!"

Ye Qimeng and Alexa waved vigorously at Ella's retreating figure on Baisha's back, and shouted loudly.

When their figures disappeared in the sky, Ye Qimeng and Alexa also embarked on the road to White Flame City.

Since riding a winged horse might be too ostentatious, they decide to walk to the market.

The morning sun was just right and everything seemed to be going in the right direction.

***

The market in the morning was very lively. There were many elf girls wearing small floral dresses carrying bamboo baskets to buy vegetables and fruits.

Most of them have beautiful braided buns on their heads, with a few strands of hair scattered on their foreheads. They look beautiful and unique in the sunshine.

After Ye Qimeng and Alexa paid the stall fee of twenty-five copper coins, they were taken to a small stall by an elf girl in charge of market order.

There are extra large blue parasols and small wooden chairs beside the long and narrow stall, which can help them block the dazzling sunlight and provide them with a small place to rest.

They covered the small wooden table with a sky blue tablecloth, placed a rose flower porcelain plate on it, and carefully used tongs to take out the dill biscuits and various other desserts from the bamboo basket. And put them layer by layer on the porcelain plate, and finally put the glass cover.

A plate of exquisite and delicious desserts was displayed in front of everyone.

In addition to dill biscuits, Ella also prepared cheese, mince pies and jam tarts, all of which looked mouth-watering.

These desserts exude a fascinating fragrance, which passes through the glass cover and reaches the nostrils of passers-by, attracting a steady stream of customers without Ye Qimeng and Alexa yelling to attract customers.

Since there were too many elves asking about it, Ye Qimeng simply bought a pen and paper from the elf uncle selling paintings next door, and wrote in front of the stall:

Cumin Cookies: 5 copper coins.

Triangular yellow cheese: 5 copper coins.

Minced meat pie: 7 copper coins.

Jam Tart: 8 copper coins.

In this way, they sell faster.

After a while, the dessert on the porcelain plate on the table had reached the bottom. After deducting the stall fee, they earned a total of 365 copper coins today, which was enough to last for a while.

Ye Qimeng took out the lunch that Ella had prepared for them in advance from the bottom of the basket: cheese and egg sandwiches, vegetable salad and two glass bottles of juice.

She and Alexa sat on the small wooden chairs behind the stall, enjoying the delicious lunch.

She felt that the sugar content today was a bit excessive, and even the air seemed to smell sweet.

"I seem to be drunk on sugar." She joked, and put another piece of cumin biscuit into her mouth, sighing: "I really never get tired of eating it!"

"It's such a beautiful market. I like it here so much." Alexa said with emotion.

This is Alexa's first time in White Flame City. Since she was born, she has lived in the Persimmon Fruit Forest and has never been out. Everything in the outside world is so strange and new to her.

“Then let’s sell desserts here more often from now on!”

Ye Qimeng couldn't help but close her eyes, enjoying the quiet afternoon time.

"Excuse me, are the dill cookies sold out?"

A mature female voice broke her fugue, and she opened her eyes to find a female elf dressed as a domestic servant. Judging from her exquisite dress, she must be a maid from a wealthy family.

"Sorry, it's already sold out."

Ye Qimeng's tone contained a trace of regret, but she secretly vowed in her heart that she would get up early next time to help Ella make more cumin cookies.

"It's a pity. It's a pity that the young master just likes the taste of these cumin biscuits and insists on eating them now..." The maid elf's tone was a little embarrassed and continued to ask: "Are you still coming tomorrow? Maybe you can deliver directly to us?”

"Do you need a lot of cumin biscuits?" Ye Qimeng asked curiously.

"Yes, the young master and his wife like the snacks you sell very much." the maid elf replied.

After some negotiation, the elf maid handed Ye Qimeng a deposit of 1000 silver coins, left an address on the paper, and left with satisfaction.

Ye Qimeng took the piece of paper, with an address written on it in black pen: No. 22 Vallen Street, Carin Anthony.
