The rabbit, beheaded and skinned, did not cry out or scream, one of its snow-white bodies occasionally appeared in the boiling water, carrying the aroma of onion sauce, while the other was roasted on the fire until it was golden and crispy, making people drool just by looking at it.

"Come and try it. My cooking skills are pretty good."

After stewing a pot of rabbit soup and roasting the rabbit meat, Fang Zheng was obviously feeling extremely accomplished.

He used to like cooking very much. He still remembered that when he was a child at his grandmother's house in the countryside, Fang Zheng's favorite thing was to kill chickens. He would hold down the struggling chicken, hang it upside down and cut its throat with a knife, watching the blood flow out of the wound and the signs of life in his hand gradually disappear. Then he would put the dead body into boiling water, wash and remove the hair, cut open the belly, dig out the internal organs, separate the bones and meat, and then put it in the pot to cook, stew, fry or roast, and finally make a plate of delicious food...

That feeling is really great.

At that time, Fang Zheng would go to the countryside during the winter and summer vacations every year to help his grandmother kill chickens, sheep, geese, and even cut cows and pigs with a knife. Fang Zheng enjoyed it very much at that time.

After all, there were no executioners in those days, and this was the only way to legally end a life.

Unfortunately, his mother later said that doing this kind of work would not be good for the maintenance of fingers and would affect his performance, so Fang Zheng had to give up with regret. Otherwise, after graduating from college, butchering pigs would also be a good choice for him.

Unfortunately, big cities are now industrialized, and chickens, ducks, beef and mutton are all frozen and placed in vacuum packages for people to pick. This is quite a pity for Fang Zheng. Although it seems very convenient to ordinary people, in Fang Zheng's eyes, it misses the fun and enjoyment of going to the poultry market in person to select the targets for killing, and then watching them ignorantly walk towards their fate of death.

Although these two rabbits are a little small now, they are still a good memory for Fang Zheng.

Katie also enjoyed her meal.

Although the young lady was worried about the fate of the two rabbits before, but after eating them, that worry was immediately thrown out of her mind. A group of people happily gathered around the campfire, drinking soup and eating barbecue, and it even felt like camping in the wild.

"Xiaohong's craftsmanship is really good."

After Hu Tao finished chewing a rabbit leg, he happily gave Fang Zheng a thumbs up.

"It looks like we are in for a treat."

"Of course, when we get on the boat, I can cook fish for you. I'm also good at making fresh fish soup or grilled fish."

Fang Zheng was also very proud. Compared with the applause from the Vienna Concert Hall, the praise from the diners was obviously more in line with his temper and taste. Unfortunately, Fang Zheng was not a gourmet expert. He was only good at simple, convenient and easy-to-handle foods. If you wanted him to teach him knife skills or something else, that was not Fang Zheng's specialty.

Of course, if he were to run into a gourmet world in the future, Fang Zheng might be able to learn a thing or two...

However, what puzzled Fang Zheng was Katie. This young lady just started eating with her head down, as if she hadn't eaten meat for a long time. This puzzled him. Hu Tao also saw this scene and couldn't help but make fun of it.

"Miss Katie, you don't have to be so anxious. I would have thought you hadn't eaten meat for a long time."

“…”

Hearing Walnut's words, Katie's body trembled, then she reluctantly put down the wooden bowl in her hand, lowered her eyes to look at the cutlery in her hand, took another bite of rabbit meat, and then answered in a low voice.

"I'm really sorry... I really haven't eaten meat for a long time..."

"Why?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Walnut even blinked.

"You're not trying to lose weight, are you? I think you have a good figure. Don't listen to those nonsense about losing weight. If you ruin your body, it won't be worth it."

"No, no, it's not..."

Katie waved her hands hastily.

"I……"

Katie sighed softly at this point.

"I just...can't afford it..."

"Why……?!"

Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked than before, and Fang Zheng and Kuang San exchanged meaningful looks. As for Kurumi, she was so surprised that she almost jumped up.

"Ah, don't worry!"

Perhaps mistaking everyone's surprise for uneasiness, Katie also spoke hurriedly.

"Although my funds are tight, the reward for your commission is enough, absolutely enough!! It's just... I don't have much money myself, so any savings will count..."

"No way, aren't you the eldest daughter of the Chamber of Commerce? I remember that eldest daughters like you are all quite wealthy. Last time I accepted a commission from an eldest daughter, she had a very sumptuous meal. She even invited me to eat with her when she couldn't finish it."

No, I don't think she invited you to eat because she couldn't finish the food.

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Fang Zheng silently complained in his heart... Well, he didn't expect Hu Tao to be so popular.

I don’t know how many girls Hu Tao has flirted with during this period of time.

"Because...something happened..."

Katie also smiled bitterly, curled up and leaned against the carriage. Perhaps because Hu Tao and Fang Zheng were willing to continue to share the joys and sorrows with her, the young lady was not as distant from them as she was at the beginning.

"The current situation of the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce is not very good... and... we still owe a lot of debts... If we can successfully transport the goods back this time, it will at least alleviate some of the problems..."

After hearing what Katie said, Hu Tao was speechless. They couldn't understand the business and management issues of the Chamber of Commerce, but at least they could understand that the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce was in a bad situation recently. After all, even Miss Katie had to live a simple and frugal life and was reluctant to hire guards... No, it was not just a matter of reluctance.

Fang Zheng still remembered that when he accompanied them to complete the mission, this young lady once revealed that she was not very happy in the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce. Now it seems that the situation has not improved.

After finishing the meal, everyone rested on the spot. Katie was a little uneasy at first, but because she had a full meal and was not very old, she yawned and fell asleep not long after. Fang Zheng watched Walnut carry Katie to the carriage, and then pulled Kurumi.

"After we get to Silver City, we'll investigate Katie's situation."

"Do you know her, Master?"

"Well, we've been on a mission together before, and the little girl wasn't in a good condition back then. Now it seems to be even worse. Anyway, we'll have to take action after we get to Silver City, so it's better to deal with some problems in advance."

"I understand. I'll go check out the situation."

And just like that, the night passed.

Because the unlucky and poor necromancer was killed directly by Kuang San, the group did not encounter any danger that night. Early the next morning, they continued on their journey and finally arrived at Gray Whale Port on time.

But what was surprising was that just after they arrived at Gray Whale Port, they were stopped again.
