Chapter 72: Share the delicious food with everyone
"Buy one, get one free?"
Yun Chenglu muttered to himself, thinking, if that’s the case, then wouldn’t he just be a bonus?
But he had seen Nan Xuan's abilities before, and thought that as long as he could become his disciple, he would just give it to him. Anyway, he had always wanted to find a powerful person to be his master.
However, their Feishui Village is a remote place and there are not many powerful people.
So he nodded: "Well, just think of it as you accepting Baoya as a gift for free, okay?"
"Tsk," Nan Xuan shook his head. "No. What ability do you have? Why would I take you in?"
Hearing what he said, Yun Chenglu suddenly became a little anxious. He looked around, scratched his head, and thought for a long time.
"Look at how big your place is, with a lotus pond and a vegetable garden and orchard on the back hill. I...I can feed your fish, grow vegetables, and take care of your fruit trees!"
"I can do these things myself. Besides, sometimes when Jingzhen is not so unlucky, he will help me."
"Then...what should we do?" Yun Chenglu's face fell and he was at a loss.
Baoya, who was sitting next to him, finished eating a sweet, golden sugar-roasted chestnut and looked at Yun Chenglu.
"Second brother, if he doesn't agree, then you can just pick him up!"
Nan Xuan:......
Jingzhen, who was also eating chestnuts, choked and started coughing violently, his little face flushed red.
Baoya was startled and quickly ran over to pat his back: "Brother Xiaojing, what's wrong with you? Was I wrong?"
Jingzhen coughed for a while before he recovered. He looked up at Baoya, who was standing next to him with her head shaking, and blinked: "Bubble?"
Yun Chenglu was also confused: "What are you brewing? Brother Nanxuan is not tea."
"Hmm..." Xiao Baoya thought for a while, "I heard from Mom that when Dad was pursuing her, he pestered Mom all day long, made delicious food for Mom, and did odd jobs in town to buy Mom jewelry. Later, Mom was helpless and her heart softened, so she agreed."
"So, second brother, you can learn from my father. If you work harder and come to Master every day to sweep the yard, fetch water, feed the fish, and tidy up the vegetable garden, he will eventually agree!"
She looked at Yun Chenglu with sparkling eyes. She had just learned the word "soft and hard persuasion", and it seemed that she was using it well.
"Why……"
Nan Xuan covered his face and sighed. He wanted to say that pursuing someone and taking in a disciple were two completely different things!
Jingzhen thought Baoya's idea was good.
Nan Xuan actually admires people with perseverance. If Yun Chenglu can persist, he will make an exception even if it is just because of his perseverance.
So he pursed his lips and said with certainty: "I think it's feasible."
Since Jingzhen said so, Yun Chenglu also thought it was feasible.
He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said with a determined look, "Okay, I will never give up!"
"Then do your best!"
Nan Xuan dipped a peeled chestnut in some osmanthus honey and shook it towards Xiao Baoya who was sitting opposite her.
Baoya's eyes lit up and she licked her lips. It must be delicious!
"Catch it!" He threw it casually.
Baoya opened her mouth quickly and caught it with a "ah"!
Jingzhen: ...
His master has such a bad taste. It seems that there will be some fun in their paradise in the future.
After it was settled, Nan Xuan led Bao Ya and others into the bamboo building to perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple.
Originally, they were supposed to pay homage to the master first, but the master had long passed away, and Nan Xuan was very casual, so Bao Ya just paid homage to him and that was done.
As for the six gifts and fees that the apprentice needed to offer, Baoya picked out the largest sweet potato from her small basket and stuffed it into Nanxuan's arms.
"Master, I dug it myself!"
Nan Xuan looked at the remaining contents of the basket and said, "Aren't you going to give them all to me?"
Baoya shook her head: "I promised Brother Xiaojing before, so the rest belongs to Brother Xiaojing."
Nan Xuan:......
Okay, I have to teach this disciple to the end even if I cry.
Jingzhen's mouth curled up slightly, and the silly girl was still on his side.
Now that Baoya has become a disciple, they will come to Taohuayuan more frequently in the future.
Nan Xuan set the schedule to come every one or two days, but of course it also depends on Baoya's own schedule.
Baoya was very happy. This time, after returning from Huya Mountain, she also got the tortoise shell, and her mother's leg disease could be cured.
Moreover, she also found a master who made delicious food!
She wanted to learn how to make snacks and all kinds of delicious food from Nan Xuan, and make them for her grandma, parents, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts in the future!
Jingzhen sent Baoya and Yun Chenglu to the village entrance and asked Yun Chenglu to go back and call the adults. He was worried that if someone with ulterior motives in the village linked the tortoise shell with the big tortoise lost by the emperor, Baoya and the others would be in trouble.
Yun Chenglu also understood, so he gave Baoya some instructions and left with Baoya's empty basket.
As Yun Chenglu's figure slowly disappeared at the entrance of the village, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Jingzhen turned over the big turtle shell on the ground and let Baoya sit on it. He found a few leaves and spread them on the ground and sat beside her.
Then he stopped talking.
Despite his personality, Baoya couldn't stay there.
She thought for a moment, took out a piece of malt sugar from her pocket and handed it to Jingzhen.
But at the same time, Jingzhen also took out a piece of crispy candy from his pocket and handed it to Baoya.
Ever since he met Baoya and knew that she was a foodie, he always carried some candies or snacks that were not afraid of being crushed.
Their little hands bumped into each other.
"Is it for me?" Baoya's eyes, like watery grapes, curved with a smile.
I didn’t expect that Brother Xiaojing, such a cold person, also likes to put candies in his pockets just like her.
"Yeah." Jingzhen nodded.
Baoya took it and transferred her malt sugar to Jingzhen's hand.
Jing Zhen frowned: "I don't like to eat..."
While he was opening his mouth, Baoya quickly picked up the malt sugar and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jingzhen was slightly startled. Baoya had already eaten the piece of candy he gave her. Her little cheeks bulged as she chewed it, like a cute little squirrel.
The sweet malt sugar melted in his mouth. He swallowed it and it tasted pretty good.
"Brother Xiaojing, grandma said that if we have something delicious, we should share it with everyone so that it will taste better."
Seeing him looking at her, Baoya smiled at him.
"Hmm," Jingzhen savored the sweetness of the malt sugar in his mouth and nodded seriously, "Your grandma is right."
After a while, Yun Chenglu arrived with Zhao Zhilan.
Although Zhao Zhilan was old, she was in good health and had nimble legs and feet. One of her hands was being held by Yun Chenglu, and the other hand was holding a large sack.
"Baby, the milk is here!" Yun Chenglu waved at her.
Baoya jumped up from the ground: "Milk!"
“Hey~!”
Zhao Zhilan took two deep breaths and responded.
As the two of them got closer, Zhao Zhilan saw a young man about the same age as her Chenglu. He was wearing a moon-white brocade gown and was standing there. A big white dog half the height of a man was squatting beside him.
