Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

amount……

Looking at the pancake pan in the old man's hand, Lu You's mouth twitched.

"So... we sell pancakes here?"

The old man put the pancake pan heavily on the ground and said, "How fresh! What else is there to sell in the town? There are two or three pancake shops alone."

As he spoke, the old man pointed to the griddle on the ground.

"Someone asked me to make this before and gave me half of the deposit, but then something happened at home and I didn't want it anymore."

"If you are sincere, I will give you eighty cents."

Although the old man said this, Lu You was already thinking about other things.

Before, she and Lu Ming and Lu Yi talked about other ways to make money, and they were talking about pancakes.

Pancakes are a product that makes a lot of money at a low profit. Since they are easy to store and can satisfy hunger, they are a very popular food when food is scarce.

Not to mention in this feudal world, even in the 21st century, a pancake vendor can achieve a well-off life with his skillful hands.

Especially with the momentum of being able to sweep everything away, if this thing is made, it will definitely be a big seller.

But who would have known that this thing was not in short supply in the other world.

Then isn't it nonsense for me to get up so early?

"Girl! Do you want this griddle or not? If not, I'll put it away!"

Seeing that Lu You didn't respond, the old man sighed helplessly, then leaned over and picked up the griddle to put it away.

But at this moment, Lu You suddenly had an idea and asked again.

"Uncle, let me ask you one more question. What kind of fillings do those people who make pancakes put in?"

"Fillings?" The old man was slightly stunned: "Pancakes are just pancakes, what kind of fillings are there? Do you think they are buns?"

No stuffing?

Lu You was immediately delighted when he heard this, and immediately hurried to greet him.

"It's only eighty cents. I'll buy it!"

"But if you want to deliver it to your door, you have to include a spatula and a scraper!"

…………

In the morning, Lu You walked around the town and bought not only a griddle but also charcoal. He also went to the grain store and asked Fatty Huang to deliver some flour and cornmeal.

By noon, the originally empty and clean courtyard was filled with all kinds of things.

"Second sister, is this the way you said to make money?"

Lu Ming asked expectantly while holding the water scoop.

"Yes!" Lu You said as he stirred the batter in the wooden basin vigorously, "Don't underestimate these pancakes, they are just thin. You can buy three or four with one penny."

"But if we can sell this stuff to the porters in a different way, it will definitely be a highly profitable business."

Hearing Lu You's words, Lu Yi next to him frowned.

"Second sister, the noodles seem to be too thick!"

"Add water!" Lu You said proudly, "You'll see when the time comes. I, your second sister, will definitely lead you to a well-off life... There's too much water!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming hurriedly put the water scoop aside, and then picked up a handful of white flour from the side.

"Add some more noodles!"

An hour later, Lu You gently scooped up a handful of batter with his fingers and let the sticky batter slide from his fingertips.

"See? The consistency of this batter is perfect for making pancakes!"

"Second sister is really amazing!" Lu Ming said happily, "Second sister, what about the three pots of batter next to it?"

tsk...

Lu You frowned and looked at Lu Ming, who immediately lowered his head.

"Second sister, you are busy. I'm going to stand still!"

Seeing Lu Ming’s aggrieved look, Lu You waved his hand gently.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending to be wronged. Go light a fire and heat up the pancake griddle. Then let me show you my skills!"

Many years later, when Lu Yi recalled the scene of that day, he still couldn't help but sigh.

I still remember that day, when the sun was setting and smoke was rising in the courtyard.

I was cruel and unwise, and foolishly trusted my sister. I had to endure the pain and swallow the bitter tears.

Looking at the blackened pancake crumbs on the griddle, Lu You gritted his teeth and swung the spatula to stir them off.

"Try this! Don't eat the mushy part in the middle. See if it's better than what you just spread out."

Lu You handed the crispy pancake crumbs to Lu Ming and the other man, but was met with pleading eyes from them.

"Second sister... burp... I can't eat anymore!"

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +100, +100, +100...]

Along with the words, the system prompt sounded again.

But at this time, Lu You was completely numb.

The big bowl of batter was almost empty at this point, and she hadn't been able to make even one perfect pancake in the entire afternoon.

As for Lu Yi's negative emotions...

It seemed like it had never stopped since half an hour ago.

Click click click...

Following the crisp chewing sound, Lu You turned his head to look at Lu Ming next to him, only to see that the guy was still eating with big mouthfuls.

"Aren't you full?" Lu You asked curiously.

"I'm not full!" (Crack, crack...)

Lu Ming muttered as he chewed a pancake.

"It's just that this thing is burned too hard, and it hurts my teeth when I chew it!" (Crack, crack...)

Aren’t you enjoying your meal?

Lu You looked at Lu Ming speechlessly, then waved his little hand and continued to scrape the batter in the basin.

"Second sister, why don't you take a break..." Lu Yi said almost begging for mercy.

Lu You gritted her teeth and said, "I just don't believe this. I want to see today whether you two will die of stuffiness first, or I will make the pancakes first!"

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +100, +100, +100...]

When Lu Yi was racking his brains over how to escape from this pancake hell, a crisp shout was heard outside the door.

"Sister Luyou, what are you doing?"

Lu You looked up and saw that the person coming was Tiantian from next door.

"Tiantian is here!" Lu You said with a smile, "I'm studying how to make pancakes..."

As Lu You was speaking, he saw a strong man rushing into the house.

"Tiantian, sit here. It has a backrest and is comfortable!"

Lu Ming carried out a chair from the main room and said with a silly smile.

Seeing his brother's infatuated look, Lu You felt speechless.

I, the second elder sister, have been sitting on the bench here for a long time, but no one seems to feel sorry for her. This kid is too mean!

Tiantian smiled and thanked Luming, but did not sit down.

Instead, he glanced at the full pot of "Steamed Rice Crust" next to him and directly took the scraper from Lu You's hand.

"Sister Lu You, the most important thing about making pancakes is to scrape the batter evenly."

As she spoke, Tiantian reached out and gently used the scraper to draw a circle on the griddle with the batter.

After just a few breaths, the batter evenly covered the entire surface of the griddle and then quickly dried.

"Tiantian, you are so awesome..."

Lu Ming exclaimed in admiration beside him, but was immediately met with Lu You's cold gaze.

Tiantian smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand and took the spatula, and deftly moved it around the griddle, and directly peeled off a whole thin pancake.

“See, it’s simple, right?”
