Rong Sheng let Gu Beiyi lead her away, but she never expected that Gu Beiyi would lead her to a thatched hut at the end of the village, the home where the original owner had lived for two years.
"Why did you bring me here?" Rong Sheng stared intently at her future husband with her dark eyes.
Gu Beiyi curled his lips into a wicked smile and said matter-of-factly, "I'm hungry! I can't cook!"
The hidden guards nearly fell out of their hiding places when they heard their prince speak so confidently.
Their prince is cold-blooded and ruthless, and is untouchable by ordinary people.
They had never seen him act so shamelessly before; they were utterly dumbfounded, their eyes practically glued to the screen!
"What? Hungry?" He must have mistaken her for a cook!
Gu Beiyi's expression suddenly turned somber: "In this village, you're the only person who's kind to me! I can't cook, and when I'm hungry, I don't know how to cook, so... Rong Sheng, I haven't eaten all day. Could you cook me a meal?"
Rong Sheng stared intently at her future husband, trying to find a trace of a lie in him so she could give him a good beating.
But his stunningly beautiful face was full of helplessness, and not a single trace of a lie could be found.
Rong Sheng frowned and asked, "What do you want to eat? No, what do you have at home that we can eat?"
Gu Beiyi said helplessly, "This house... I haven't been back for ten years. Everything in this house is not mine! I have no idea what we have to eat here?"
Before meeting Rong Sheng, he knew nothing about crops, let alone grains, and he couldn't even fully recognize vegetables and fruits.
After meeting Rong Sheng, we got to know each other, but the food I cooked... wasn't good... not as good as Rong Sheng's!
Rong Sheng looked at her future husband speechlessly. He had been back all day and hadn't tidied up the house or even bought any rice or flour.
But she's my future husband. It wouldn't be good if I let him go hungry.
Besides, my future husband's health wasn't good to begin with, and he's also been poisoned. If I don't take good care of him...
So Rong Sheng compromised and went to the kitchen to cook for her future husband.
The original owner lived here with the old gambler for two years, so she clearly remembered where the rice and flour were kept. However, the old gambler loved gambling so much that he could never afford to buy rice and flour, so the family was very poor, so poor that they had nothing.
So Rong Sheng searched high and low but couldn't find anything to eat.
“Wei…Gu Sanniu…there’s no food at home, how can I cook for you?” Rong Sheng said.
Gu Beiyi: "I heard you used to live here. After I came back, I didn't touch anything in the house, and you still couldn't find anything to eat? What did you eat before?"
"I..." What could the original owner of this body eat? Boiled wild vegetables, of course!
Sometimes, he would receive a bowl of rice from the villagers. But the old gambler never worried about the original owner of the body, so his family truly had nothing.
"Don't worry about what I ate before, just think about what you can eat now. If you find something to eat, I'll cook for you! If you can't, then forget it!" Rong Sheng shrugged helplessly.
How 'cold-blooded and ruthless'!
But it's also damn cute!
"wait for me……"
After saying that, Gu Beiyi turned and left.
Rong Sheng watched her future husband's departing figure, her eyes crinkling with a broad smile. "System, don't you think my future husband is adorable?" Starving, can't cook? He sold himself off so easily!
Gu Sanniu had lived with the Gu family for at least seven or eight years. As a child who was not liked by his family, he was bound to be used like an old ox by Madam Du. What chores couldn't he do at home?
This meal... I'll definitely make it too.
System: "Cute? Don't you find that suspicious?"
"Suspicious? What do you mean?"
"He showed up ahead of schedule!"
"So what? My future husband's early appearance must be because of me! Otherwise, why would he be by my side? System, you must be bugged, otherwise how could you have miscalculated the timing of my future husband's appearance?"
System: "..." Never mind, let's wait until Rong Sheng has accumulated enough medical ethics points and leveled up before we talk about it!
Soon, Gu Beiyi found some food.
It was a big rooster!
It's obviously a domesticated dog!
It weighs about five or six pounds!
"Can you cook chicken?"
Rong Sheng smiled and said, "Of course I can make it, but I don't know how you want to eat it? For example, stew it in soup, braise it, steam it? Or make it into a dish, such as chicken stew with potatoes, stir-fried chicken, chicken with mushrooms, braised chicken pieces, or stewed whole chicken? No matter how you want to eat it, I will make it for you!"
But think about this: no matter how you eat it, the aroma of the chicken will eventually waft out, and then the chicken's owner will know, and you won't be able to eat it!
Gu Beiyi's lips twitched. Sheng Sheng was still as adorable as he remembered. "Then tell me, how should I eat without anyone noticing?"
Rong Sheng: "..." If he gets discovered, he'll get discovered too. So Rong Sheng thought for a moment and came up with an idea. He snapped his fingers and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat chicken that no one will find out!"
Immediately afterward, Rong Sheng took Gu Beiyi back to the Rong family home and secretly took away some seasonings, such as pork caul fat, diced meat, shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, flour, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, salt, scallions, ginger, clove powder, star anise powder...
There are no lotus leaves!
However, Rong Sheng and Gu Beiyi found some sweet-smelling grass leaves in the fields to replace the lotus leaves. Although they couldn't compare to the taste of lotus leaves, they should have a unique flavor.
After preparing the materials, Rong Sheng and Gu Beiyi left Zhonggui Village and went to a mountain valley 300 meters away from the village.
Upon arrival, Rong Sheng chuckled at her future husband, "In the middle of the night, this is the only place where we won't be discovered! But I'm the master, and you're the disciple! How can a disciple let his master do the work? So... cough cough... Gu Sanniu, I'm instructing you to cook! If it doesn't taste good, it's all your fault! Once you've learned how, you won't need to come to me anymore!"
"I definitely can't learn it!" Gu Beiyi said decisively.
If I learn it, how will I find you then? Wouldn't I just have to come up with another excuse? So Gu Beiyi decided that he couldn't learn it!
"You are so handsome and otherworldly, like a god, and you look like a smart person, so how could you not learn? As long as you study hard! Otherwise, after you get married and have children, are you going to leave all the cooking to your wife? That would be a real scoundrel!"
So she has to learn it! Only by learning it will she never have to cook again!
Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng's sparkling eyes, a smile flashing across his deep, dark eyes. "That's true. For my future wife, I must learn! But I can't guarantee that I have a talent for cooking!"
