Rebirth of a Village Girl-Chapter 1059 - 270: Yangyang’s Tricks, Actively Pleasing (Nineteenth Update)

Chapter 1059: 270: Yangyang’s Tricks, Actively Pleasing (Nineteenth Update)

Ni Yang smiled and said, "Do you miss me that much?"

"Miss you? Of course, I miss you! I even dream about you!" Zhang Qiuying flattered endlessly, then turned to Li Huilan, "Huilan, do you miss me and Yangyang?"

Li Huilan answered somewhat shyly, "I, I do miss you too! Oh, I’ve brought our local specialty for you, the aromatic pig ham!"

As she spoke, Li Huilan took out a piece of yellow-cured ham from her parcel.

Zhang Qiuying looked puzzled, "We don’t have a pot in our dorm, and you brought such a big piece of meat; how are we supposed to eat it?"

Li Huilan pulled out a knife and cut a piece of ham for Zhang Qiuying, "This is eaten raw, try it."

Raw meat?

Zhang Qiuying frowned slightly; she really dared not eat it!

In their hometown, there was a saying that eating raw pork could cause mad pig disease!

Zhang Qiuying waved her hands repeatedly, "Huilan, stop joking! How can you eat raw meat? Aren’t you afraid of getting mad pig disease?"

Li Huilan smiled and said, "Mad pig disease? No way! Everyone eats it like this back home!"

Upon finishing her sentence, Li Huilan cut another piece of pork and handed it to Ni Yang, "Yangyang, you try."

Ni Yang accepted the slice of ham with a smile, "This ham tastes amazing when eaten raw!"

Aromatic pig ham is considered a luxury food in later years, with prices soaring into five digits per pound! The ham from the 1980s was all-natural and free from pollution, making it many times tastier than the exorbitantly priced hams of later years!

Seeing Ni Yang enjoying the ham so much, Zhang Qiuying couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, "Yangyang, you’re something! Daring to eat raw meat!"

Ni Yang took another piece and then another, "This is truly a rarity; you can’t buy it even if you had the money, Qiuying. Not eating it is your loss."

Zhang Qiuying said, "I’m not eating, I’m not eating!"

After eating three slices of ham, Ni Yang sighed, "If only we had a glass of wine to go with it!"

It was already 1986, and everyone would be raving about the ’87 Lafite wine next year, so Ni Yang planned to buy a batch to store.

Zhang Qiuying laughed, "Yangyang, you really know how to enjoy life."

"Life is all about food and drink," Ni Yang spoke lightly.

Li Huilan looked up at Zhang Qiuying, "Qiuying, are you really not going to eat this ham?"

"Not eating, not eating," Zhang Qiuying shook her head like a drum.

Ni Yang shook her head, "Ah, some people just don’t appreciate good food!"

Li Huilan picked up the ham and placed it on Ni Yang’s desk, "Since Huilan can’t enjoy this, Yangyang, I’ll give this piece of ham to you. Take it home and let your family try it!"

Ni Yang was taken aback by Li Huilan’s generosity, "All for me? Huilan, aren’t you going to eat it yourself?"

Li Huilan said nonchalantly, "I’ve been eating it since I was a child, and I’m tired of it. Just take it, and don’t be polite."

Although the 1980s was a difficult time, there were still wealthy areas. Li Huilan, although born in a rural area, didn’t have it as hard as one might think; there was no shortage of meat.

However, a large piece of meat like this was still considered very precious for a rural household.

But precious as it was, it couldn’t compare to the value of friendship.

Li Huilan held these two roommates in high regard and was willing to share the best with them.

And Ni Yang was never stingy with them either.

"Huilan, then I won’t stand on ceremony!" Ni Yang knew how to conduct herself and was well aware of the subtleties of human relationships. If she were to refuse the ham today, it might make Li Huilan feel uneasy.

Sure enough, upon learning that Ni Yang had accepted the ham, Li Huilan was overjoyed, "Yangyang, if your family likes it, just tell me, and I’ll bring you some more next year!"

Ni Yang carefully packed the ham away, "Huilan, on behalf of my family, thank you."

After finishing packing up the ham, Ni Yang remembered that when she came to school, Ni Cuihua had picked out a big bag of things for her to bring to the dorm to share with her roommates, "I almost forgot! This is what my mom asked me to bring over! You guys go ahead and eat!"

Ni Yang had brought some cooked food, like sunflower seeds, dried fruit, and Braised Duck Feet and Duck Head...

Zhang Qiuying and Li Huilan enjoyed it immensely.

"My goodness! This is way too delicious!"

"Yangyang, where did your family buy this duck head?" Zhang Qiuying asked, nibbling on a duck head and speaking unclearly.

Ni Yang said, "This duck head was braised by my grandmother and my maternal grandmother. If you like it, I’ll bring some more next time."

"Sure, sure!" Zhang Qiuying was thrilled.

Li Huilan said, "Yangyang, can you ask at home how this duck head is braised? Next New Year, I’ll have my mom try making it!"

Ni Yang nodded, "I’ll write down the Braised Duck Head recipe for you later."

Although the recipe for the braised duck head was made by Old Lady Zheng and her family, the formula was provided by Ni Yang, who had made her fortune from braised foods in her previous life.

"I want some too! I want some too!" Qiuying said, "I’ll have our housekeeper make it when I get back!"

"Okay, I’ll write it now." Ni Yang took out some paper and started writing a detailed preparation plan.

Since she wasn’t making her fortune from braised foods this time around, it was okay to share the recipe with others.

Ni Yang not only wrote down the ingredients but also carefully wrote out the preparation process, producing two copies of the document, one for each Qiuying and Huilan.

Holding the recipe, Qiuying exclaimed, "Yangyang, your handwriting is absolutely amazing!"

To be able to write beautiful characters, Qiuying had practiced painstakingly for seven or eight years. She considered her own handwriting quite beautiful, but in front of Ni Yang, it seemed child’s play!

Ni Yang’s face was as beautiful as her handwriting!

Truly, the handwriting reflected the person.

Ni Yang smiled and said, "I’ve practiced for many years."

Qiuying continued, "Yangyang, not only are you beautiful, but your academic performance is also outstanding, and your handwriting is beautiful too! How are the rest of us supposed to live!"

In Qiuying’s mind, Ni Yang was an all-capable being.

Huilan agreed, "Yangyang, you’re even more beautiful than the village belle back home, but our village belle is quite silly, she doesn’t even recognize Arabic numerals!"

In Huilan’s view, generally, the less attractive people were not very dumb, and the beautiful ones were not very smart.

It wasn’t until she met Ni Yang that she realized how wrong she had been.

Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, Qiuying said, "Oh, right Yangyang, my ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’ is almost finished, could you help me get another set?"

"Sure," Ni Yang nodded.

"Thank you so much, Yangyang!" Qiuying continued, "Also, Yangyang, my mom really likes ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’ too. Could you get an extra set for me? I’ll send it back home for her to use."

"Sure, no problem," Ni Yang made an ’OK’ gesture.

"Ah! I really love you so much, Yangyang!"

The effects of ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’ were truly incredible so much so that after the winter holidays ended, Qiuying had wanted to buy a set at the store herself—but she was in for a shock!

The products were in extremely high demand.

They were sold out and unavailable!

Ni Yang smiled and said, "You’re welcome."

Qiuying then asked, "Yangyang, do you know someone from the ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’ internal team?"

Ni Yang nodded, "Yes."

When Wang Lisha walked in pulling her suitcase, she happened to hear this part.

Her eyes lit up.

Ever since she started using the basic ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’, her skin had become incredibly smooth, as if she had put on a new layer. She too wanted to try a limited edition set.

As Ni Yang was in the dorm today, she saw it as an opportunity to make peace and then ask Ni Yang to help her get a box.

With this in mind, Wang Lisha’s face broke into a smile as she carried her luggage into the dorm, "Oh! Ni Yang, everyone’s already here! I thought I’d be the first one!"

Ni Yang looked at her, somewhat surprised. Wang Lisha had changed quite a bit over the winter break.

She remembered how at the beginning of last year, Wang Lisha used to look down on the three of them.

Since Wang Lisha had greeted her first, Ni Yang naturally wouldn’t ignore her, "We just arrived too, and since my home is in Beijing, it was quite convenient for me to come."

Huilan and Qiuying were used to it, as Wang Lisha’s attitude towards them had gradually improved since the second half of last year, even sharing snacks with them proactively.

After arranging her luggage, Wang Lisha took out three packages of local products from her hometown to share with Ni Yang and the others, "This is a specialty from my hometown; I hope you won’t mind it."

Wang Lisha’s home was in Hang City, and the specialty was silk; the packets contained real silk scarves.

Holding the silk scarf that Wang Lisha had gifted her, Ni Yang felt almost as if she were floating on air.

She felt like she was dreaming.

Just then, Wang Lisha continued, "Ni Yang, I just heard you say that you know someone from the ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’ internal team, right?"

Ni Yang nodded, "Yes."

Wang Lisha grabbed Ni Yang’s hand, "Ni Yang, I was wrong before, and I know it. I’ve apologized to Huilan too. Let’s make peace from now on. Could you also help me get a box of the limited edition ’Ice Smooth Jade Skin’?"
