"Alright then, I'll help you out."
Although she felt a little regretful, Xiangling quickly adjusted her emotions, rolled up her sleeves, and started helping out.
Jiang Mu was happy to have a helper. It was a rare opportunity for everyone to get together tonight, so this meal couldn't be taken lightly. Moreover, Xiangling was no ordinary kitchen helper. The fact that Wanmintang was able to make a name for itself in Chihuyan was not only due to Chef Mao's hard work, but also inseparable from Xiangling's help.
"Xiangling, give me the sesame oil."
"lettuce!"
"Guoba, go adjust the heat."
As the Kitchen God, Guoba's understanding of cooking time and temperature is far superior to theirs. The twice-cooked pork that Jiang Mu is making is cooked on an old-fashioned stove not far away.
When Guoba heard that he could also help, he immediately trotted over to the stove on his short legs.
Xiangling took a Jueyun chili pepper from her backpack and handed it to Guoba. Guoba took it and stuffed it into his mouth. The next moment, Guoba's whole little face puffed up...
"Crispy Rice, breathe fire!"
At Xiangling's command, Guoba opened its mouth, and a small but incredibly hot flame shot out, instantly igniting the pine needles in the stove.
"boom!"
The sudden burst of heat startled Jiang Mu, but fortunately he wasn't too affected. He calmly added the seasonings into the pot while the spatula in his other hand flew up and down.
When the fire meets the hot oil, the entire kitchen is instantly filled with crackling and popping sounds.
Next, the two of them worked together and finally managed to serve eight dishes and a soup on the table before dusk.
"Hahahaha, here comes the chicken soup for the soul!"
With a shout, Jiang Mu placed the large porcelain bowl filled with soup in the center of the table, and the meal was finally complete.
"It looks really good."
Gan Yu, who was standing to the side, put down the book in her hand, looked at the dishes on the table, nodded gently, and said approvingly.
"It's alright, just a bit rushed."
Jiang Mu wiped the sweat from his brow and chuckled.
The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning what had happened in Jiang Mu's bedroom earlier...
"Oh, it seems I've arrived just in time."
Suddenly, a clear male voice rang out.
"Yan Qiao? You've finally arrived."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was overjoyed. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, he saw a tall young man standing at the door. When he saw Jiang Mu looking over, his eyes revealed undisguised joy.
"Brother, you're finally back."
"Long time no see!"
Jiang Mu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's been a long time." Ma Yanqiao smiled gently and then waved behind him.
"Come on in, what are you standing there for? Are you shy?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was taken aback. There was someone else?
"Well……"
Suddenly, two blue figures appeared out of thin air and bowed deeply to Jiang Mu.
"Hello, boss."
A pleasant sound rang out.
"Huh?"
Jiang Mu was taken aback, because the two of them looked almost identical...
Exactly the same!
Twins?
"Who are these two...?"
Jiang Mu turned around, looked at Ma Yanqiao, and asked with some confusion.
“Boss, we are the two frozen trees from back then, who, along with Mo Jiangshan and the Black Poisonous Snake, transformed into humans. My name is Qingqing, and the one next to me is called Qianqian.”
One of them covered his mouth and explained with a light laugh.
"ah?!"
Jiang Mu was slightly startled, then suddenly realized.
Since those Fiery Trees can transform into humans, then it makes perfect sense for the Ice Trees to do the same...
However, I never expected them to turn into women...
"Boss, we're here too."
Two voices rang out. It turned out that Mo Jiangshan and Black Poison Snake, whom they had met before, had also arrived. They were walking to the door and bowing to Jiang Mu.
"Alright, since we've finally met, let's all stay and have a reunion dinner together today."
Jiang Mu nodded, looking at the group of people in front of him with a warm smile on his face.
But then, Jiang Mu felt a little uncertain.
I initially thought it was just a few people, so I didn't cook much food, but now...
"bite!"
Suddenly, the system sent another notification.
"Dear host, this system has detected your current condition and has specially provided you with a limited-time item: 'Gourmet Meal Set,' priced at only Mora. Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come again..."
"arrange!"
Jiang Mu waved his hand and immediately made the purchase.
I must say, the system really did a fantastic job this time! It was like a timely pillow delivered just when I was about to fall asleep.
After leading the five people to sit down at the table, Jiang Mu said something to everyone and then pulled Xiang Ling into the kitchen again.
………………
A moment later, Jiang Mu and Xiang Ling came out again, carrying several dishes.
"Yo ho!"
Jiang Mu placed the dishes on the table and couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at where the group was seated.
"Something's happened..."
