Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life

Chapter 894: Xiao Chong Side Story 11_2

Every time the hotel hosts a large banquet, they hire nearby willing part-time workers to temporarily act as waiters to serve dishes and clear tables.

The young people earn fifteen yuan an hour, while the older ones earn eight yuan an hour.

Like Lin Wanwan’s grandfather, who is seventy-six years old, he’s already considered too old and is not wanted by them.

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan’s grandfather, though elderly, is a handsome old man, appearing much younger than his peers.

Thus, last time, Lin Wanwan’s grandfather was taken by a relative from their clan to the hotel to do part-time work, claiming to be sixty-four years old to the Great Tang manager, who did not suspect and left his contact information, allowing him to work whenever available.

Lin Wanwan didn’t want her grandfather to work so hard, and she had tried to persuade him many times not to do it, but her grandfather mostly didn’t listen.

After the relocation, Lin Wanwan’s grandparents used their flat to trade for this villa, and most of the other money was taken by their son to pay for his studies abroad and his wedding expenses.

Last year, Lin Wanwan’s grandmother had a sudden stroke, which drained the savings the elderly couple had amassed through frugality over the years.

To support Lin Wanwan’s education, her grandfather had to make money desperately since relying solely on fifteen hundred yuan per month from the agricultural insurance was not sufficient.

After her grandfather left, Lin Wanwan mopped the floors upstairs and downstairs, washed the clothes that needed washing, let them dry, then thought for a bit, grabbing her homework book and Xiao Chong’s oil-paper umbrella, she opened her family’s umbrella and went next door.

Xiao Chong hadn’t closed the courtyard gate and the main door, allowing Lin Wanwan to walk in unobstructed.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xiao Chong walked out of the kitchen, raised his chin at Lin Wanwan, his eyes slightly narrowing, drawing attention: "Wanwan, come over, let’s make some pastries together."

He didn’t seem to be calling someone to make pastries, rather like he was inviting someone to be the pastry.

Lin Wanwan put down the plastic bag containing her homework books, closed the door, changed her shoes, and walked into the room, suspiciously asking, "Can you really make pastries yourself?"

"Yes." Xiao Chong responded, his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes sparkling with sunlight, "Didn’t you eat it during the autumn trip?"

"I thought you were joking with Mi Yunzhi and the others."

After all, Xiao Chong boldly claimed, in front of the Great Tang Xiao Chong exhibit area sharing the same name, that the two were the same person and those were his works!

Who knows when they’re telling the truth and when they’re joking and blowing nonsense!

Xiao Chong’s smile reached the corners of his eyes: "You’ll know soon whether it’s a joke, come over and help me."

Being from a noble family, Xiao Chong always enjoyed a life where clothes were handed to him and meals were served.

But ever since Lin Wanwan gave him the tool book from the Great Tang, he decided to personally research for the benefit of the people.

Food is the priority of the people, and the various foods recorded in the book couldn’t be overlooked.

Now there’s even a pastry named "Zi Fang Cake," just like Dongpo Pork.

Xiao Chong’s kitchen is a high-tech one, equipped with various ovens, steamers, microwaves, and all kinds of electronic appliances, making it extremely convenient for him to make pastries.

Though Lin Wanwan’s family conditions are average, her grandparents have always spoiled her, never allowing her to work in the kitchen.

While her grandmother was still alive, Lin Wanwan never had to clean or wash clothes.

Thus, when it comes to baking skills, she is far inferior to the pastry enthusiast Xiao Chong.

Entering the kitchen, Lin Wanwan noticed a camera set up to record.

She was startled, immediately moving out of the camera’s view: "Why are you recording?"

Xiao Chong replied casually: "Don’t worry, it only records the pastry-making process without facial shots, and I’ll remove the sound during editing."

"Why record videos?" Lin Wanwan wasn’t worried anymore after hearing there would be no facial shots, and she walked calmly to his side, helping him by handing him things as indicated.

"I started a food video channel, occasionally recording videos to spread Chinese cuisine and make some extra money."

"This can earn money?" Hearing Xiao Chong say this, Lin Wanwan became interested!

She didn’t care about lofty goals like cultural spreading, but making money piqued her interest!

Xiao Chong didn’t hold back at all: "Of course you can, in the internet age, anything is possible."

His words didn’t impact his skillful actions in the slightest.

"But, with intense high school studying, doesn’t getting distracted by these affect your grades?"

Xiao Chong smiled confidently and countered: "What do you think?"

Bringing the memory of a previous life through time travel is such a major advantage, how could mere primary and secondary school coursework possibly affect him?
