Chapter 115: Spinning Jennies and Looms

Today, they ate soup-filled buns. A single bite allowed them to taste the delicious meat and get their mouths and noses filled with the rich aroma of the meat.

Delicious! So delicious! No wonder Weya packed 10 packages of these to school and said something about eating these while walking, Anri said as she stuffed a soup-filled bun in her mouth. The sauce dripped from her mouth, and she wiped it with her thumb and licked her thumb.

Nicole looked at Liu Feng with her cheeks slightly red, before saying, Weya got up early and helped me make soup-filled buns. The ones she took away are the ones that she made herself.

Ah? So cunning. I want to taste the soup-filled buns that Weya made, Anri said, pouting. Ive always been eating Nicoles cooking and want to taste someone elses cooking occasionally.

Oh? Does Miss Anri dislike my cooking? Nicole asked, her eyes narrowing and glancing at Anris ears. Or are you tired of eating the food I make?

Of- of course not, Anri said, her body stiffening as she hurriedly waved her hands. I just want to know what other peoples cooking tastes like.

So! Nicole tapped her chin lightly with her fingers as she thought about the rock-hard, soupless soup-filled buns that Weya had made in the morning. She smiled lightly, and said, Then for tomorrows breakfast, Anri will just eat the stuff that Weya made.

Huh? Is that okay? Anri asked, her eyes lighting up with anticipation. Weya had been following Nicole in cooking for a few days, so she should be able to make something delicious.

Yes, Nicole said, nodding. She then turned her head to look at Mina, and said, What about you, Mina? Do you want to eat what Weya cooked for breakfast?

Minas hand, which had been stuffing buns into her mouth, froze, and she shook her head mechanically. No, Ill just eat what Nicole made. Weya is a teacher and she must be very busy. She knew about Weyas talent- every food that Weya cooked would for some reason become extremely hard.

Huh? So Im the only one eating Weyas cooking for breakfast tomorrow? I dont know why, but I really look forward to it, Anri said.

Liu Feng couldnt help but facepalm and look at Anri pitifully. She got tricked by the black-hearted Nicole. I can imagine what tomorrow is going to look like.

Young Master, whats wrong? Anri asked, tilting her head when she saw Liu Fengs action.

All he was currently waiting for was a trigger- or rather, an opportunity for him to put the traps that he had set in place to use.

Soon, Liu Feng took Nicole in the carriage. As Liu Feng got on, he saw Anri rolling around on the cushion, and Mina was glancing at him with slightly red cheeks. This made him a bit distracted. Both of them were thinking about the scene that had happened previously.

Cough cough Liu Feng coughed lightly and pulled on the rope inside the carriage, and the carriage soon started moving. They headed for the Department of Scientific Research under the escort of the War Wolves.

By the way, Anri. Have you issued the construction plan for the dock? Liu Feng asked.

Anri took out a lollipop from her backpack. As she took off the wrapper, she said, Yes! I saw the construction plan on my desk this morning, and I passed it down since I saw that you had already signed it. She was eating the lollipops that she had bought from the Shopping Mall. She was reluctant to eat any of the lollipops that Liu Feng had gifted her and hadnt eaten a single one of them.

Tell them that they can postpone the construction of the houses first. That dock is more important. They should first build a big enough part of the dock that will allow big ships to dock, Liu Feng said, grabbing Anris hand and putting her lollipop into his mouth.

O- okay, Anri said, hurriedly nodding her head before she glanced at Mina proudly and stuck out her tongue.

Minas eyebrows twitched. This cunning fox girl.

Liu Feng still thought that there were too few people. If only there are tens of thousands of people that I could use. Constructions were very labor intensive. This was, after all, a world without trucks or excavators.

Translators Notes:

. Also known as tangbao, guantang bao, or soup buns. Theyre basically what their name suggests, steamed buns filled with soup.

Author wrote it so that Anri had said that, but I feel like it wouldnt make sense so I decided to put it as her thoughts.

. Translated more literally, looms would be cloth-weaving machine.

Today is not a good day to translate. Had motion sickness while trying to translating in the morning and fell asleep on the bus while trying to translate in the afternoon.
