Xue Huan shook her head. How could she know? Was it because the “people” who lived here were all lazy?
She just thought about it, and who knew that she actually guessed it right!
"Hahaha, that's because everyone in our village is lazy, like salted fish, they don't move easily. When we were selecting the village chief, no one else was too lazy to come out, so the position of village chief fell on me."
Can Baqian put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly.
Xue Huan: Emmmmmm… That's pretty good, worthy of being called Salted Fish Village. No wonder she hadn't seen anyone along the way. They must have been staying at home.
In fact, the Salted Fish Village is not bad. It’s better for everyone to be salted fish than to be fierce and belligerent, right?
Gulp gulp!
The lid of the pot on the stove was lifted up by the white steam.
Can Baqian asked anxiously, "Xiaoxian, are you okay?"
Xue Huan opened the lid of the pot and poked a piece of chicken with chopsticks. It went in easily and the soup became thicker. "Well, it's done. Let's eat."
Can Baqian couldn't wait for her to take out the chicken and mushroom stew from the pot. He climbed directly onto the stove, squatted on it, picked up a piece of chicken, blew on it, and took a bite impatiently.
After taking a bite, the ginseng is so delicious that it makes your soul float away!
How can there be such delicious food in the world!
The chicken is incredibly delicious, and the mushrooms have absorbed the broth and taste just as good as meat!
"Xiaoxian, it would be great if you could come earlier. I could eat this chicken stewed with mushrooms for a hundred years and never get tired of it."
Can Baqian was flattering everyone while eating and shaking his head.
Xue Huan's mouth twitched. Eat for a hundred years? He never gets tired of eating it, but she is tired of making it.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I can also make many other delicious dishes, such as braised pork, sweet and sour fish, lion's head, crystal pig's trotters, Kung Pao chicken, winter melon and spareribs..."
Every time Xue Huan announced the name of a dish, Can Baqian's eyes became brighter. Later, the brightness was comparable to that of an 800-watt light bulb, which made Xue Huan feel scared.
At this time, a hoarse female voice sounded: "Lao Shen, you actually ate chicken behind my back."
Before he finished speaking, a ball of red smoke appeared in front of the stove. The smoke instantly transformed into an enchanting beauty in red, with an alluring aura around her.
Red dress, black hair, misty eyes, sparkling red lips, slender jade fingers...
Xue Huan: awsl!
Can Baqian subconsciously wanted to hide the food, but the red-dressed beauty glanced at him, and he immediately dared not move. He said awkwardly, "Zi Gu, why are you here?"
"What do you think?" Zi Gu waved her hand gracefully, and a jade stool appeared on the ground. She sat down, pointed her finger at the stove, and a set of bowls and chopsticks appeared.
She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
The way they ate was quiet and beautiful, but the speed was a bit too fast. In the blink of an eye, there was a pile of chicken bones next to them.
When Cang Baqian saw it, he quickly grabbed the food.
The two of them seemed to be competing.
Xue Huan stood by and watched the large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms decrease in volume at a visible rate.
In less than five minutes, the bottom of the pot was exposed. Zi Gu then slowly put down her chopsticks and took out a snow-white silk handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Shen Baqian was reluctant to let go of the soup at the bottom of the pot. He stuck his ginseng roots in and started sucking it up. The sound sounded like sucking jelly with a straw.
Zi Gu gave him a look of disdain.
Only then did she look at Xue Huan, "Just arrived?"
Xue Huan shuddered slightly at the sound of that frosted, smoky voice. She unconsciously stood up straight and nodded obediently, "Yeah, yes."
"Did you make this pot of chicken?" It's obvious that it couldn't have been made by Can Baqian, who is such a poor cook.
"Yeah." Xue Huan continued to nod obediently.
Zi Gu suddenly smiled at her, a brilliant smile like spring flowers blooming. "We finally have someone who can cook in Xianyu Village. Congratulations! Here, this is a welcome gift from my sister."
She threw a small cloth bag over.
Xue Huan caught it in a hurry, and took a look. It was filled with diamond-like stones, sparkling and dazzling. It was the soul crystal!
Shen Baqian took the roots back from the pot and was shocked when he saw them. "Zi Gu, you are so generous. You gave all these soul crystals to me, a fairy?"
"Your name is Xiaoxian? That's a nice name." Zi Gu said to Xue Huan first, then turned to Can Baqian: "Humph, this is nothing, just a few fights. If I wasn't too lazy to go out, I wouldn't have saved up so little. What gift did you give Xiaoxian?"
Seeing Can Baqian's embarrassed expression, she glanced at him and said, "You're not so stingy as to not even give me a welcome gift, are you? How can you be the village chief? We finally have a new member in Xianyu Village who can cook. What if she's not satisfied with us and runs away?"
Can Baqian muttered, "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."
He immediately plucked a ginseng beard from his body and gave it to Xue Huan.
"Xiaoxian, my ginseng roots are precious, no less valuable than soul crystals. If you're injured, just eat them, and I guarantee your soul power will be replenished immediately."
Xue Huan looked at the bag of sparkling soul crystals in her left hand and a thumb-thick ginseng root in her right hand, feeling a little dizzy. Wasn't this a bit too generous a gift? Just because she cooked a pot of chicken?
Although she didn't know the specific value of soul crystals, Can Baqian had previously given her some basic knowledge about the levels of soul crystals: white was the lowest and gold was the highest. However, the bag in her hand did not have any white crystals at all. Most of them were red, with a small amount of orange, and a few yellow, green, and even a cyan piece mixed in!
This bag of soul crystals is definitely worth a lot.
There was also this ginseng beard, which exuded a rich fragrance. As soon as she smelled it, she had an urge to absorb it.
Just like what San Baqian himself said, this pair is a treasure.
"This is too expensive. I can't accept it. I just made a pot of chicken. The ingredients and seasonings were all provided by the village chief. The village chief told me a lot about the soul world before. This is more than enough to make up for the meal. I am even more unworthy of Sister Zi Gu's soul crystal."
Xue Huan returned both the soul crystal and the ginseng beard.
Zi Gu stretched out her finger and tapped Xue Huan's head. "Just take it. A few soul crystals are nothing. At worst, you can make more delicious food for me in the future."
Thinking of the pot of chicken she had just eaten, she couldn't help licking her lips with the aftertaste.
Can Baqian also said: "That's right, Xiaoxian, keep collecting. Whether we can have food in the future depends on you."
Now that things have come to this, if Xue Huan refuses again, she would be ungrateful.
"Okay, no problem. I can't guarantee anything else, but my cooking skills are pretty good. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future."
"That's right." Zi Gu pinched Xue Huan's face and declared domineeringly, "From now on, you will be under my protection. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name and I will kill him."
The little girl is as pretty as a jade, has a pure soul, and can be her favorite prostitute. Shouldn't she pamper such a little girl more?
