It was a middle-aged man in cloth clothes, walking up from the other side of the bridge. He looked around with curiosity as he walked.

——He is really a traveler!

The little cabbage, who had been waiting for the traveler for a long time, suddenly brightened up and almost cried with joy. He jumped up and ran over, "You are finally here!"

"Me?" The man was even more confused when he saw how excited he was. "Did you wait here just for me, little brother?"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Although Xiao Baicai was waiting for a random "traveler" rather than a specific person, this could be considered a happy misunderstanding. At least after hearing what he said, the other person showed an understanding expression and said generously, "Thank you very much, little brother, but this place... could it be the Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Huh? How do you know?" Xiao Baicai, who had already prepared his words to introduce Taohuayuan to the travelers, was stuck.

This traveler, why doesn’t he play by the rules?

It is obvious that little sister Zhen Mi and little sister Mu Guiying don’t know about the Peach Blossom Spring!

Is it possible that some travelers know about the Peach Blossom Spring and some don’t?

"After walking a few dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up. The land was flat and spacious, with neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos.'*" The man recited the scenes described in "Peach Blossom Spring" and then burst into laughter. "So the Peach Blossom Spring described by Yuanming is actually real!"

Xiaobaicai...Xiaobaicai still looked confused.

After sighing, the man asked Xiao Baicai with a smile, "What should I call you, little brother?"

At this stage, Xiaobaicai is really good! After he came back to his senses, he confidently said his name, "Just call me Xiaobaicai!"

If Xiao Baicai had met other travelers, some might have complained about his name, but he happened to meet a great poet who loved food, and when he heard his name, he exclaimed "very good, very good".

Then the two people who came from different time and space and worlds, but could both be considered social experts, hit it off, had a great conversation, and walked towards the village while chatting.

Seeing Xiao Baicai happily chatting with others and forgetting everything, the barrage of comments kept reminding Xiao Baicai frantically, "Baby, you even forgot to ask the traveler's name!"

[How can you chat with someone so happily despite seeing three question marks above their head?]

This is an unknown traveler.

[Don’t even mention asking for the name, I suspect Xiaobaicai even forgot to read the comments hahaha]

Xiao Baicai only remembered to look at the barrage after returning to the village. After reading it, she realized that she had not asked the person's name, but fortunately it was not too late to ask now.

"Brother Baicai, weren't you waiting for me? How come you don't know my name?" This person must have already seen that Xiao Baicai didn't know him, so he teased him and told him, "My name is Su Shi, and my courtesy name is Zizhan. But after I took the name Dongpo Jushi, people often call me Dongpo."

As he spoke, Xiao Baicai and the audience in the live broadcast room saw that the three question marks above his head turned into two lines of words.

[Su Shi

His courtesy name was Zizhan, also known as Hezhong, and his pseudonym was Dongpo Jushi (47 years old).

"Wait, wait!" Xiao Baicai was a little confused by these three names in a row, "So which name should I call you?"

"Just call whoever you want." Su Shi laughed.

"Then, Dongpo?" Xiao Baicai called out the last name tentatively.

Su Shi responded with a smile.

Xiao Baicai was no longer restrained and excitedly imagined that she would make delicious food to feed the travelers from her hometown, just like Grandpa Xiaoqin fed Zhen Mi and Mu Guiying.

In fact, before knowing Su Shi's name, Xiao Baicai enjoyed chatting with him, but she was still a little reserved.

This wasn't because he felt Su Shi was difficult to get along with, but rather because he had a sense of a unique aura about this traveler. It was the kind of aura that made people feel that he was exceptionally cultured even though he was wearing ordinary clothes. Xiao Baicai had never felt this way from any of his teachers even when he was in school.

In short, the poor student sensitively captured the aura of the top student.

So-called [At the age of twenty-one, the capital is full of dignitaries]

——This is a description from Su Shi’s background story that he has not yet unlocked.

However, this restraint was eventually resolved by the social master Su Shi. After all, Su Shi, Su Zizhan, had friends everywhere, in all walks of life, and he could get along with everyone from monks and Taoists to farmers and prefects.

…

When Xiao Baicai took out the fish he caught and planned to show off his fish cooking skills using the fish cooking recipe he had seen from Xiao Qin's grandfather, things suddenly changed a little bit.

"Is Baicai planning to make steamed fish?" Su Shi stood by the stove and looked at the ingredients prepared by Xiao Baicai, and suddenly asked.

Xiao Baicai took a look at the steamed fish that came with the beginner's recipe and nodded.

"Although steamed crucian carp tastes delicious and retains its original flavor, it is a bit light. I have a way to make the taste of this fish richer and more delicious. Why not try my method, Bai Cai?" Su Shi twirled his beard.

At this time, Xiao Baicai hadn't thought of anything, but when she heard what Su Shi said, she agreed and obediently followed what he said.

However, the method Su Shi mentioned was not one of the methods in the elementary recipe book. When Xiao Baicai was making it, he was unable to use the automatic mode to save the situation when the car was about to flip over. It flipped over several times, and each flipping posture was different. The audience laughed at it for a long time, and they could have edited a collection of the flipping incidents.

In the end, Su Shi himself couldn't stand it anymore, so he rolled up his sleeves and took over his stove.

"Don't overheat the oil, and add the ginger slices last..." Su Shi explained as he skillfully added the various seasonings. Xiao Baicai stood by and nodded repeatedly, memorizing the correct order.

[Hilarious! Travelers can’t stand watching and take action themselves]

[Love it! Although the grandpa fish next door gets the satisfaction of feeding the little sister, you, Little Cabbage, are being fed by the travelers!]

[I remembered everything just by listening, hahaha]

When Su Shi stopped the fire and served the fish, the first reaction of the cabbage was: It smells so good!

The aroma, accompanied by the rising white steam, and the appearance of the dish, are all undisguisedly aimed at arousing people's appetite and wantonly displaying their charm.

——Xiao Baicai didn’t know, and the viewers in his live broadcast room didn’t know either, but eating the dishes cooked by Su Dongpo himself is a dream that many flower growers on the planet dream of, but one that they may never be able to realize in their lifetime.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the taste. Su Shi put down his sleeves and said to him, "Try it?"

By this time, he had already forgotten that he wanted to feed the travelers in the first place. He nodded repeatedly and picked up his chopsticks to try the food. After just one bite, he stopped there to savor the taste for a long time, and then said with his limited vocabulary, "Delicious!!"

Su Shi also tasted it, nodding as he tasted it, with an expression that said, "Yeah, it's really delicious."

As Xiao Baicai was eating, something suddenly flashed before his eyes, and then a system notification popped up unexpectedly:

[Congratulations on obtaining the rare recipe dropped by Traveler Su Dongpo: Dongpo Fish.

[Traveler's Recipe] has been unlocked. All recipes dropped by travelers will be included in the [Traveler's Recipe] in the future.

What?

Traveler's recipe?

Xiao Baicai slowed down the pace of eating the fish, then opened the [Traveler's Cookbook] and took a look. He immediately saw the most conspicuous and lit [Dongpo Fish], which clearly recorded the cooking process.

Apart from that, what shocked Xiao Baicai the most was the gray circle of recipes named "Dongpo" surrounding the [Dongpo Fish], such as [Dongpo Pork], [Dongpo Tofu], [Dongpo Elbow], [Dongpo Soup], [Dongpo Cake]... There were so many that they couldn't be counted after flipping through a page.

Even [Dongpo Pork] is a gold-quality premium recipe.

Xiaobaicai:!!! Wow!

The way he looked at Su Shi suddenly changed, and it seemed as if his whole body was shining with golden light.

"Dongpo!" he shouted emotionally.

"What is it?"

"I want to learn cooking from you!"

Su Shi laughed, "That's fine, but there doesn't seem to be much meat in this Peach Blossom Spring, and there don't seem to be many kinds of ingredients. Even if I wanted to cook, I couldn't!"

——Translated into gaming terms, it means 'How can I unlock the recipe for you if you haven't even prepared the ingredients?'

The bok choy is wilted.

…

Every traveler will leave when he wants to, but most of them will stay in the Peach Blossom Spring for at least one day. This is an unspoken rule of the traveler's gameplay.

As time passed and the sky in Peach Blossom Spring gradually darkened, there were only lights on near the two thatched houses.

Xiaobaicai was very curious and didn't want to log off at this time, so he took this opportunity to play the game and cook, trying to level up quickly to unlock more gameplay and ingredients, so that he could learn those recipes from Dongpo.

He had already made up his mind that once he had finished what he needed to do tomorrow, he could go fishing with Dongpo tomorrow and have new ingredients.

Xiaobaicai was busy in front of the stove, and would occasionally enter automatic mode. Su Shi sat on a small stool at the door of the thatched hut, watching Xiaobaicai's magical operation with interest, holding a small branch he had picked up from somewhere and scratching the ground.

Xiao Baicai was curious about his actions while he was cooking, so she came over to ask him what he was doing. Su Shi told him frankly, "I accidentally stumbled into the Peach Blossom Spring today. It's such a rare experience. I want to write a poem to share with my brother."

As he spoke, he seemed to be inspired and began to draw on the ground with a small branch, with horizontal, vertical, left, right and right strokes, and the "handwriting" was smooth and completed in one go.

After a while, a poem was completed with a simple title: "A Letter to Ziyou on His Trip to Peach Blossom Spring".

The meaning of this poem is roughly "Today I accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming. There is a person named Bai Cai in it. I cooked fish and it was very delicious. I really hope that you, Ziyou, can come too."

Wherever the mood takes you, the emotions are sincere and there is no place that is not beautiful.

Even though interstellar people have never seen the form of "poetry", there are also some literary styles similar to the hymns of Western society on Earth. They also have the ability to appreciate beauty, but because their civilization has been cut off, their treasures are rare.

Where does this literary form come from? Why haven't I seen it before?

I can’t put this feeling into words, but this feeling is so unique.

【……】

[By the way, have you noticed that this traveler named Su Shi has a really unique temperament?]

[I noticed it as soon as it appeared, and I thought I was the only one who felt that way! ]

The author has something to say:

Quickly frame this piece of land with words on it (bushi)

Note*: Peach Blossom Spring by Tao Yuanming

At this time, Su Shi had been exiled to Huangzhou for a year or two.

Su Shi usually calls people he knows by their given names, but Xiaobaicai's name is so funny, and Su Shi himself is a mischievous person, so it is not impossible for him to call him "Brother Baicai" when joking.

In fact, the first person to come to Xiaobaicai's house was Su Shi. Another reason was that Su Shi liked Tao Yuanming's poems and personality. In the article, Tao Yuanming was mentioned several times and he directly said "Yuanming".
