"Ah, this..."
"No way, it wasn't there when I left."
"You're saying he did all this by himself in such a short time?"
"This...right, it must have been those slimes who helped!"
"Slime?"
"When Jiang Mu and I first arrived here, we encountered a few Rock Slimes. I wanted to kill them, but my brother somehow managed to tame them all."
"Rock Slime?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it's not a slimy creature like a water slime...
Thinking of this, Hu Tao couldn't help but imagine Jiang Mu walking towards her with two water slimes, while she, "delicate and powerless," could only try her best to curl up in the corner...
(Ahem, I can't write anymore, this is going to be paid content...)
"Walnut, walnut!"
Xiangling shook Hu Tao's shoulders frantically. From the very beginning, her best friend had been muttering things like "pervert," "stay away from me," and "no way!" Could she be possessed...?
"Cough cough, I'm fine." Hu Tao instantly snapped out of her daydream, suppressing the romantic thoughts in her heart, and said to Xiang Ling.
"Let's go inside."
"Yay!"
"It's good that it's banned!"
Why are you like this too!
…………………
"Hey, you're back... Walnut? What brings you here too?"
"What, only your adorable god-sister is allowed to come here, but I'm not?"
Hu Tao's tone was unfriendly.
For some reason, Jiang Mu felt that she emphasized the word "gan" (干, meaning "do" or "do").
"Brother Jiang Mu, don't worry, Hu Tao is just jealous."
Xiangling joked from the side.
"Xiangling!"
Hu Tao's expression was unfriendly as she reached her wicked hand towards Xiang Ling's armpit.
"Scratch it~"
"Hahahaha, I was wrong, Hu Tao, I'm not joking anymore, haha..."
"Now you know you're wrong? Too late! Come on, let me pamper you a bit, hahahahaha..."
Unwilling to let things go once she was in the right, Hu Tao suddenly quickened her pace, and looking at Xiang Ling, who was begging for mercy in her arms, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips...
"Cough cough..." Jiang Mu coughed a few times.
Although seeing the two beautiful girls in close contact excited him, this wasn't the right time...
"ah!"
Hu Tao quickly released Xiang Ling, who nearly fell over from laughing so hard she was breathless. It was Jiang Mu who caught her just in time, allowing her to regain her balance.
"Brother Jiang Mu, how did you build this house?"
After catching her breath, Xiangling asked curiously first.
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao also perked up her ears.
"Shh, secret."
With his index finger raised and held to his lips, Jiang Mu blinked.
"Tch, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
Hu Tao pouted. Xiang Ling, on the other hand, sniffed the air.
"It smells so good, what's that smell?"
"Ah, this is my dish!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was startled and rushed into the kitchen.
The two women exchanged a glance and followed curiously.
"This...is the kitchen?"
Following Jiang Mu into the kitchen, the sight before them took them by surprise.
In the middle of the kitchen, a large pot was simmering soup, and all the wisps of oil smoke were sucked away by a loud machine above the pot, so that the kitchen was free of the pungent smell of oil smoke and instead filled with the rich aroma of meat.
"Licorice, star anise, dried tangerine peel..." Xiangling's little nose twitched as she tried to identify the various herbs, or rather spices, from the rich aroma of meat, but she was quickly overwhelmed.
"Jiang Mu, what are you doing..." Hu Tao was about to ask when Xiang Ling covered her mouth.
"Xiangling, you..." Hu Tao was a little confused, but after turning her head and seeing Xiangling's serious expression, she obediently shut her mouth.
"The worst thing a chef can do while cooking is to be disturbed by others."
"And..." Xiangling's eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Mu's kitchen.
"This place is simply a chef's paradise!"
Xiangling was mesmerized by Jiang Mu's fluid movements and the faint smile on his lips.
"Could this be what Dad meant by 'craftsmanship'?"
"call--"
Jiang Mu put the lid on the pot and let out a long breath.
He didn't waste the remaining bones and meat of the wild boar; he had a feeling that the broth simmering in the pot would come in very handy later.
"Oh, are you hungry?"
Jiang Mu smiled when he saw the two little ones appear behind him.
"Wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
As he spoke, he went to the tap, quickly washed his hands, and then stood in front of the second iron pot.
"Xiangling," Jiang Mu suddenly called out.
"Ah...yes!"
Upon hearing her name, Xiangling was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied.
"Go peel and chop the scallions and garlic, and then slice the ginger."
Jiang Mu gave the order.
Upon hearing this, Xiangling was delighted and immediately got to work.
But then, the little girl said with a pitiful expression.
"Brother Jiang Mu, where are all these seasonings you mentioned?"
"Refrigerator, shelf 2."
"refrigerator?"
Xiangling looked around, feeling lost and confused.
Where can I find ice?
"ah!"
Jiang Mu slapped his forehead.
He had completely forgotten about that.
"There."
With a gesture, Jiang Mutou didn't return to the tunnel.
"This cabinet?"
Following the direction Jiang Mu pointed, Xiangling walked to a white cabinet that was a head taller than her and opened the cabinet door.
A gust of cold wind swept over me.
"So comfortable~"
Xiangling muttered to herself.
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao came to Xiang Ling's side, and then...
"Really...?"
"You guys..."
Looking at the two little devils who were almost ready to be buried alive, Jiang Mu said helplessly.
"There'll be something delicious to eat later, so hurry up and come help!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Hearing that there was something delicious, Xiangling immediately snapped out of her daze. After finding the scallions, ginger, and garlic, she went to the cutting board, picked up a cleaver, and chopped them up.
"Snap!"
"What a sharp knife!"
Xiangling's eyes lit up.
This is much better than the knife from Hanfeng Ironware!
(Old Zhang: "Achoo!")
"Give."
As expected of Xiangling, the head chef of Wanmintang, handling these ingredients was a piece of cake. In just a few breaths, Xiangling completed Jiangmu's request.
"Go wash your hands over there."
Pointing to the tap, Jiang Mu began pouring oil into the pot and slowly shaking it to coat the entire bottom with oil.
"Luckily, we saved the pig's fat; otherwise, that excellent lard would have been wasted."
Jiang Mu thought to himself.
Just then, Jiang Mu heard laughter and giggling nearby, and upon looking around, he felt helpless.
Two pretty girls were standing next to the water tap, laughing and playing with the water.
"You guys..."
"It's because there are just too many interesting things here!"
Hu Tao said coquettishly.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Xiangling nodded frantically from the side.
"Lulu lulu~"
Even Guoba chimed in.
"Sigh."
Jiang Mu ignored the two women and went straight to the stove, turning on the gas valve.
"puff--"
Flames rose and licked the bottom of the pot merrily, and soon the entire bottom of the pot was glowing red.
"Brother Jiang Mu!"
Xiangling, who was standing nearby, said anxiously.
If this keeps up, the bottom of the pot will burn through...
"fine."
Jiang Mu waved his hand.
A hint of excitement flickered in his eyes.
Come, let's dance joyfully!
