The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

The following day, the sun shone brightly and the temperature warmed up slightly.

The morning sun shone into the villa's courtyard, illuminating the snowdrifts that had melted into piles of snow.

Donas gets up early.

I never skip my daily morning exercise.

The sound of punching bags thumping could be heard coming from the room where the gym equipment was located.

Pina got up a little later than Donas, her hair a mess, like a bird's nest on her head, or a fluffy golden dandelion when viewed from the side.

Sleepy eyes

Pina slowly walked into the bathroom.

As always, she brushes her teeth first and then washes her hair.

After washing up and finding nothing she wanted to do, Pina went downstairs to the kitchen, intending to make a bucket of watermelon juice for Heracross. Today was the winter solstice, and letting Heracross drink his fill of watermelon juice would be the same as letting him eat dumplings.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."
Walking up the stairs, each step down produced a muffled thud, the rhythm perfectly matching the footsteps.

"what?"

Thinking it was the sound of her own footsteps on the stairs, Pina stopped and listened carefully to see if there was any more sound.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."
The frequency is the same, very familiar; it's the dumpling machine making dumplings!

Pina hurried into the kitchen and saw Shu Chu washing and chopping vegetables. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment.

"Seven o'clock, it's just getting light outside, isn't Shu Chu sleepy?" Pina was very curious, silently thinking to herself, admiring that she got up earlier than herself.

Shu Chu focused on chopping vegetables.

At first she didn't realize Pina was there.
She vaguely heard panting and yawning behind her, and then realized it was Pina. She quickly put down the cleaver and peeled two boiled eggs.

Are you hungry?

"Let's eat after the doro guys wake up."

"Pina, are you planning to rest for another day? Or come with me to the boxing gym to start work early?" Shu Chu asked casually as she carefully peeled the egg.

Today is the Winter Solstice.
On the fifth day of Pina's vacation,

It can rest for two more days.

In fact, Huang Musong never required Pina to work; he tacitly allowed Pina to rest for as long as she wanted.

Judging solely from the work schedule, Pina's short holiday is nearing its end, and Shu Chu's holiday is also more than halfway over.

Pina took a bite of the egg and then went to get some water.

The double-yolk egg I was lucky enough to eat was a bit dry.

After eating two eggs, her hunger subsided. Pina looked up at her in confusion, blinked, and asked, "Are you short of money? If so, I can lend you my salary. How about it? Working overtime is too tiring. Good days should be used to rest."

"No need, no need. I was just thinking that the fruit shop near the girls' college needs someone to keep an eye on it. If there are customers trying to take advantage of the self-service model, it won't work if no one stops them..." Shu Chu continued washing and chopping vegetables, casually and naturally expressing her thoughts.

Standing behind Shu Chu, Pina observed carefully, first nodding and then shaking her head.

It has more experience than the Doro.

At this moment, it was clear that Shu Chu's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood.

No matter how much money you make, who would hate taking a break? The concern that customers might skip out on their orders at the fruit shop is logically understandable, but in reality, it's probably about working overtime to earn more money! Or perhaps you're uncomfortable living in a villa and want to go back to the staff dormitory at the boxing gym?

While secretly pondering Shu Chu's thoughts, Pina did not expose her words on the spot, but began to cut the watermelon to juice Heracross.

An hour later, at eight o'clock sharp, Dorothy woke up groggily.

The first thing I do every morning is check my phone and reply to Taihua's message.

"Let me see which fund I should increase my holdings in today?"

"Wow! That stock can be sold now? That means I can get my money back tomorrow, and I can make three thousand yuan in ten days."

"Happy~"

After replying to Taihua's message, which mainly consisted of a "good morning" greeting, Dorothy was so excited that she almost dropped her phone.

The principal is 500,000, and the investment lasts for two weeks, a total of 10 working days.

The total profit from the stocks reached 3000 yuan!
That translates to an annual interest rate of 18%!

If you want to deposit money in a bank to earn interest, a deposit of 1 million yuan would only yield a 5% interest rate, and banks rarely offer rates above 6%.

Investing in stocks can triple your money; making money is like picking up free stuff.

Hey~

Unable to contain her laughter, Dorothy ran out of the bedroom and headed straight for the study, where she waited for the stock market to open so she could start selling stocks through her securities account.

Coincidentally,

Donas finished her boxing practice.
It passed by the study door on its way to the bathroom to take a shower.

Out of the corner of her eye, Donas noticed Dorothy laughing. Confused about what she was laughing about, she leaned closer to look at the computer screen.

The screen displays colorful lines and bars.
Donas was so overwhelmed by the sight that she felt dizzy.

He knows absolutely nothing about stocks and the stock market.

"The lines curve upwards, which means we can make money, right? When are you investing in the next batch of stocks? Take me with you, we'll be getting paid again the day after tomorrow!" After saying that, Donas left the study and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

In reality, it wasn't particularly interested in making money; it just wanted to seize every opportunity.

After all, who would complain about having too much money?

Hearing the sound of running water coming from the direction of the bathroom, Dorothy crossed her legs and sat on the gaming chair in front of the computer desk in the study, adjusting her glasses with immense pride.

"Earn three thousand in ten days..."

"Earning 10,000 a month..."

"I'm so awesome! I'm a stock market tycoon, shine my shoes~".

Although the principal was from Sister Su and the specific investment direction was decided by Taihua, Dorothy still felt great about herself.

"Well, once the money arrives, I can recharge my game account and buy skins again~" Dorothy muttered to herself, setting her stock market opening alarm to go off and taking a short break to read a book.

Half an hour later, around nine o'clock, Huang Musong and Duoluo woke up one after the other.

Bright sunlight streamed into the bedroom.

A new day begins.
Huang Musong stretched and yawned.

Yawning is contagious, and Doraemon yawned right after, tensing his back and stretching his limbs, with tears of satisfaction and comfort welling up in his eyes.

On the Winter Solstice, we eat dumplings to ward off the cold during the coldest days of winter.

Facing the calendar, Huang Musong casually sketched a few lines and murmured, "Don't go out in the first and second nine-day periods, walk on the ice in the third and fourth nine-day periods..."

Not understanding what people were saying, Duoluo walked over to Huang Musong and twitched his ears to listen attentively.

"In the fifth and sixth nine-day periods, we can see willows by the river; in the seventh nine-day period, the river thaws; and in the eighth nine-day period, the geese return."

"Nine times nine plus one nine, oxen plow the fields everywhere."

After reciting the Nine-Nine Days Rhyme, Huang Musong circled "The Second Nine Days," "Laba Festival," and "The Seventh Nine Days" on the calendar, and wrote down plans for "Planting Orange Trees," "Growing Green Oranges," and "Freight Distribution."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances
The Orchard of Orunji in Wujia Village will definitely be able to capitalize on the Spring Festival sales season.
At that time, the after-tax net profit alone could reach 600,000!
After deducting the share allocated to Wujia Village, the final amount received is 30 yuan, which will be more than enough for living expenses next year.

Just as Huang Musong was considering a new wave of business.
Doro tugged at his pajama sleeve, blinked his big eyes, and asked, "Human, what are you muttering? It sounds like some mysterious formula, not like the multiplication table."

Upon hearing this, Huang Musong snapped out of his daze, picked up Duoluo, and brought him close to the calendar.

"What I just recited was the 'Nine-Days of Winter' rhyme."

“Starting from the winter solstice, each nine-day period is considered a cycle, and spring begins after the ninth cycle.”

"Okay! Next spring, I'll take you on a spring outing."

As he spoke, Huang Musong smelled the aroma, put his arm around Duoluo, and went downstairs to the restaurant.

"Okay~. Doro likes spring outings... Wait? What's that smell?" Doro twitched his nose, drooling unconsciously, his pupils gleaming.

The doro have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans.
Doro recognized the aroma as beef!
"Wow? There's steak for breakfast today, that's great~." After everyone came down the stairs, Doro excitedly ran into the kitchen and offered to get bowls and chopsticks for Shu Chu.

Shu Chu's steak is made by mincing beef tenderloin into a paste and then pan-frying it in an electric griddle.
The steak, characteristic of Donas, incorporates many diced vegetables and soybean powder.
The complex aroma makes it difficult to distinguish whether a steak is meat or vegetarian.

Shu Chu insisted it was a vegetarian steak, and Lemi also said that the special steak didn't contain any meat.

The man and the mouse deliberately deceived Donas, telling a white lie.

...

After dinner,

The doro members got to work making dumplings for the new day.

Because of the 'one-day street vending permit', I will no longer cook dumplings for free for passersby today, but instead sell frozen dumplings to make money.

100 jin of meat dumplings are priced at 15 yuan per jin.

200 jin (100 kg) of vegetarian dumplings are priced at 10 yuan per jin. In the capital, Doro's dumplings are priced very reasonably, and the fillings are made with high-quality ingredients.

Arrive at the stall early.
We started setting up our stall at noon today.
Huang Musong's plan was to go to the Women's College in the afternoon to deliver dumplings to Su Qingyao and drive Shu Chu there on the way.

As for the process of selling dumplings, Huang Musong took a hands-off approach, only responsible for ensuring the safety of the little ones.

Under the small tent
Donas was dressed warmly, but her hands moved nimbly as she continuously turned the large iron ladle to fill plastic bags with frozen dumplings.

"It's done!"

"This bag contains two jin of vegetarian dumplings and one jin of meat dumplings."

Tie the plastic bag tight, hand it to Pina, and Donas continues to repackage for new customers.

"1, 2, 3..."

The meat dumplings are 25 per pound on average, but Donas always secretly gives customers two extra to avoid not having enough.

The vegetarian dumplings average 30 per pound, but Donas would add more, glancing occasionally at Huang Musong sitting on a bench next to her watching videos.

Once it was confirmed that no one had noticed his actions,
Donas chuckled silently, a mischievous grin spreading across her face, thinking to herself, "How dare someone slack off? I'll give away lots of dumplings to customers, making you earn less! Heh..."

Its tail tucked into its down jacket and wrapped around its waist.

Donas's tail never wags from side to side when she's being naughty.

Starting with giving customers an extra dumpling per order, Donas gradually increased the amount to two, eventually limiting herself to giving each customer a maximum of three dumplings. Giving away too many would negatively impact her partners' profits, and Donas was only willing to forfeit Huang Musong's share of the profits.

Beside.
Dorothy noticed that Donas was up to something.

It opened its mouth as if to say something, but then stopped itself.

"Hmm... if we give away three extra dumplings per pound, we shouldn't lose money. Okay, let's just consider it a bonus for the customers, and earn a little less today." Dorothy pondered, tacitly approving her partner's actions, while assisting customers in scanning QR codes to pay.

Doro and Pina were in charge of attracting customers and making them queue up.
Pina excels at attracting customers; she doesn't need to shout or make exaggerated gestures.

All I saw was:

Pina stood outside the stall.
He holds a xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) and plays music.

The melodious music echoed throughout the neighborhood; sound is the perfect lure, attracting many passersby to come and see what was going on.

After playing a short tune, Pina felt inexplicably hungry, perhaps because playing the xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) was too strenuous.

Putting away her flute, Pina turned and walked towards Doro. Clutching her stomach, she said, "Could you please cook me a meat dumpling? I need to eat so I'll have the energy to play again. What's that saying again? Right! It's 'Play when you're full, sing when you're hungry.'"

"Okay!"

Doro immediately scooped out two freshly cooked meat dumplings and one vegetarian dumpling.

"Pina, would you like it dipped in vinegar or soy sauce?"

"Dolo will help you get it~"

Three steaming dumplings were placed in a small plastic bowl. Doro picked up a bottle of soy sauce and vinegar and handed it to Pina, letting her decide how much to pour.

The vinegar is too sour, and the soy sauce is too salty.

Pina suddenly craved something refreshing.

"Never mind, I'll just eat the dumplings. If there's ketchup, I'd like to try what dumplings taste like with ketchup." Pina said, blowing on the hot dumplings before picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat.

Feeling bored, Huang Musong immediately stood up, stomped his feet, and headed straight for KFC.

"I'll go make you some ketchup."

Who wants fries?

"I went to the fast food restaurant and bought some for everyone..."

After asking each of the doro what snacks they wanted to eat, Huang Musong temporarily left the stall and went to KFC a few hundred meters away to place an order.

Huang Musong left not long ago
A familiar-looking middle-aged woman came to buy dumplings with a smile.

Wearing a mask, the Doro members didn't recognize her at first. But once she took off her mask, they immediately remembered she'd been there the day before. At that time, she'd shared tips on earning coins by watching videos on the TikTok Lite app.

After testing, Dorothy confirmed that the trick worked, earning her 20 yuan in pocket money in two days.

I met the kind aunt again.

Dorothy was so excited that she trembled all over.

While queuing to buy dumplings, the older woman bent down and greeted the four children: "Do you remember me? One pound of meat dumplings and two pounds of vegetarian dumplings, please. What kinds of fillings do you have for today's dumplings?"

"We have beef and mutton with radish! Auntie, please try some. Actually, the mutton and radish filling is also very delicious~." Doro handed a small plate to the aunt. There were three freshly cooked dumplings on the plate, two meat and one vegetarian, and one of the meat dumplings was filled with mutton.

While selling dumplings, Duo Luo noticed that many customers weren't buying mutton dumplings, resulting in a large surplus of mutton dumplings.

Lamb dumplings are clearly tastier!
The fresh minced meat has absolutely no gamey taste, and it's so delicious paired with carrots!
unfortunately,

The dumplings with the best fillings are not selling.

Doro hopes the kind aunt will be willing to buy more.

The older woman was experienced; upon learning that the filling was mutton and carrot, she immediately understood. She didn't say anything at first, but tasted the dumplings and nodded, revealing an expression of 'just as expected'.

"Little guy."

"Do you know why customers rarely buy mutton dumplings?" the woman asked, pointing to the frozen food box.

Doro scratched his head in confusion and replied, "I don't understand~. Auntie, can you teach me?"

"The reason is that there are too many adulterated mutton dumplings on the market." The aunt sighed helplessly. "Especially in dumpling restaurants, mutton flavoring is mixed with duck meat. Even chefs who have served state banquets can't tell the difference between real and fake mutton dumplings."

"I believe you use genuine materials."

"But other customers might not believe it."

"You've set up your stall early today, are you busy this afternoon? How about this, you sell me a few extra pounds of mutton dumplings, I'll take them home for my husband and kids..."

The woman stared intently at the frozen cargo box next to Donas.

A pound of mutton dumplings sells for 15 yuan, which isn't much more expensive than making them yourself.

Spending an extra two yuan on a pound of dumplings to save time and effort is a huge profit.

If the little ones agree, the auntie would love to make all the lamb dumplings. She'd take them home, freeze them, and cook a pot whenever she wants.

Understanding the aunt's thoughts
Doro hesitated, wondering what to do.

Look at Pina, look at Dorothy, look at Donas.

Although the sun is shining brightly today, it's still quite cold, so we should make sure our friends don't get too cold.

"it is good!"

"Auntie, how many kilograms of mutton dumplings would you like?"

"I'll have Donas help you choose." Doro smiled, his bright white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Weigh out fifteen jin for me."

My husband and son can both eat, and with myself included, the whole family can easily finish three pounds of dumplings in one meal.

Fifteen pounds, enough to last at most half a week, nothing special.

Donas immediately served dumplings to the aunt.
Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Musong wasn't around, it gave the aunt an extra half pound of mutton filling.

The older woman didn't get away with it for nothing.

She immediately messaged her friends and relatives whom she knew from square dancing to recommend Doro brand dumplings.
Within ten minutes, it attracted dozens of people.

There were dozens of people, all around the age of middle-aged women, and they were all housewives who lived their daily lives.

"What an adorable little guy!"

"Are you puppies? You don't seem like them. Are you perhaps pet cats?"

"How much are the dumplings? Five pounds of lamb filling, please. I was just thinking about not wanting to make dumplings for the Winter Solstice today!"

"... "

These elderly women chatted amongst themselves, crowding around the stall so tightly that it was impossible to move.

Soon, the doro had bought all 300 jin of dumplings, and Huang Musong had just bought a hamburger set meal.

KFC's lunch service is too slow.

Huang Musong left half an hour ago.

It took a while, but it can't be this ridiculous, right? Nearly 200 pounds of dumplings sold out in half an hour, what happened?

Well, since Doraemon seems happy, there shouldn't be any problems.

Divide the food among the four little ones.

Huang Musong took them inside the car to enjoy the warm air while they ate.

Both Shu Chu and Lemi received two hamburger meals. (End of Chapter)
