"We bought a medicine on the system to delete her past life memories and then altered her memories from this life after her rebirth.
Your father and I will also try to guide her. A single thought can lead to Buddhahood or damnation. The path ahead is for her to walk herself; if she repeats her self-destructive ways from her past life, she has no one else to blame."
"Hmm, this is good, directly fixing her bugs. Dad and Mom are mighty and awesome."
Mother and daughter exchanged smiles. "Your father is pretending to study and read now. He'll be back tonight, and you two can chat."
"Okay."
......
After chatting with Mom Luo, Luo Yunshi didn't idle. She continued preparing food.
Besides Xing Yi, Da Li, and the other three, Luo Yunshi also brought out the other idle robots to help with the preparation. Tasks like cutting meat, kneading dough, and washing vegetables were all rationally divided.
With several robots, the preparation speed increased by several times.
The villa's various machines that could speed up cooking, such as stir-fryers, steamers, and ovens, were all put to use.
In just one afternoon, they produced enough food to last for over half a month.
Luo Yunshi directly stored the excess food in the constant-temperature spatial buckle.
......
The next day, Father and Mother Luo arrived at the shop by carriage, and the family of three staged a reunion filled with joy.
Luo Yunshi was a Nascent Soul cultivator, appearing to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Father and Mother Luo were also young in their current bodies, Father Luo being 19 and Mother Luo 17.
The three of them privately discussed and decided that Luo Yunshi would call her parents "Brother" and "Sister," while Father and Mother Luo would call their daughter "Xiao Shi." After all, in modern society, many children call their mothers "Sister Someone" and their fathers "Brother Someone." Of course, they still used their normal terms of address in private.
......
Summer quietly slipped away, and autumn gradually arrived.
The popularity of the "You Jia Mei Shi" (A Home's Delicacy) shop exceeded Luo Yunshi's imagination, with merchants arriving daily to stock up.
Throughout the summer, Luo Yunshi made many types of food that could be preserved for a long time.
Besides instant noodles, cured and dried meats, and sausages, she also made handmade dried noodles, dried liangpi, dried tofu skin, biscuits, potato chips, sweet potatoes, canned fish, canned pork, chicken, and duck, as well as several kinds of fruit preserves.
Of course, Luo Yunshi didn't make every type of food. She learned by consulting employee forums from modern post-apocalyptic and interstellar post-apocalyptic settings, which took some time.
"Young Miss Luo, you have new items in the shop today! Kung Pao Chicken, Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork... Wow, and mooncakes too."
As soon as Luo Yunshi opened the shop in the morning, customers who were already queuing greeted her with smiles.
Luo Yunshi ate in the same spot every day, and over time, regular customers learned her identity.
"Yes, it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, so the shop has prepared Five Kernel Mooncakes, Taro Paste Cheese Mooncakes, Rose Snow Skin Mooncakes, Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Snow Skin Mooncakes, and Meat Mooncakes. We also have long-lasting preserved foods: Lieba, milk tofu, and compressed biscuits. The compressed biscuits can be eaten dry or reconstituted with water to make porridge, and come in several flavors like milk, savory, and fruit."
Hearing Luo Yunshi talk about the new food items, everyone started discussing.
"Lady Luo is truly remarkable, inventing so many dishes. She must be a master chef passed down through generations."
"Young Miss Luo is also very skilled and nimble-fingered."
Luo Yunshi was accustomed to the customers' praise and merely smiled without replying.
There were many capable chefs in ancient times. Coupled with Luo Yunshi occasionally sharing simple preparation methods, and with "You Jia Mei Shi" constantly introducing new products, some people also managed to research and produce some long-lasting foods, such as dried noodles, instant noodles, and dried tofu. Although their products weren't as good as Luo Yunshi's, they had a certain customer base due to their lower prices.
Compressed biscuits made from coarse grains were also available and were cheaper than ordinary compressed biscuits. In autumn, common folk who needed to work long hours in the fields or wanted their children to try them would sometimes buy some to take home, so coarse grain compressed biscuits also sold well.
......
As time went by, the days of fleeing from war and famine in spring drew closer.
Besides selling cooked meals, "You Jia Mei Shi" gradually introduced several more affordable and long-lasting food items.
With 10 days left until the internal strife, the landlord Liu family found an excuse to quietly liquidate all their landholdings and stocked up on grain.
With 5 days left until the countdown, Father and Mother Luo managed to persuade most of the villagers to leave and flee north.
Many affluent families in the county town used various excuses like visiting relatives and friends to leave the town. Before leaving, they quietly purchased long-lasting food from "You Jia Mei Shi." The atmosphere in the town was exceptionally tense.
The townspeople, though unaware of what was about to happen, were all anxious. Some customers who came to the shop also wore worried and somber expressions.
The shop had recently increased sales of long-shelf-life foods and extended its operating hours from morning till night.
"Young Miss Luo, the atmosphere in the county has been a bit strange lately. Several wealthy families have left town. Do you think they know something? Are the barbarians coming? Your shop's opening hours have also gotten longer recently. Do you, Young Miss Luo, know something? We're all old customers. If you know anything, please tell us." An old customer asked quietly.
Other customers in the shop slowed their eating movements upon hearing this and were all listening intently.
"There's no specific news. But I do know one thing: it's always wise to stock up on food, no matter the time. Even if something happens in the future, you can escape faster with dry rations and money."
As things hadn't happened yet, Luo Yunshi didn't want to cause further panic among the populace, so she didn't say too much.
Those with foresight would naturally understand the key message from her words.
The customers, indeed, had some intelligent individuals. They cupped their hands in a salute to Luo Yunshi, quickly finished their meals, bought a lot of dry rations from the shop, and left in a hurry.
Soon, many more people came to the shop to buy long-lasting food items.
The Liu family also made a significant move. Father and Mother Luo, along with the villagers who left with them, began their escape along a small path. Luo Yunshi would leave after the internal strife broke out, and then she would find a way to "accidentally" meet her parents during their flight and reunite.
......
"Bad news! Something big has happened. Fighting has broken out outside the city!"
"What's happening? What's happening? Who's fighting?"
"The Emperor has passed away, and Prince Kang and our Prince Qi are fighting. Run!"
"Ah, the city gate is broken! Run!"
