This way, she not only saves time and effort, but also avoids getting sweaty from the heat.
This is much more convenient than cooking for more than a dozen people in one meal.
Of course, their poor cooking and reluctance to use oil were also among the reasons she refused.
After all, she can cook a lot of delicious food by herself, so why does she have to do it with them?
Hearing what she said, Zhuang Xue and the others were not disappointed.
Anyway, she was mentally prepared beforehand, thinking that Shen Mu Ning wouldn't agree.
"Okay, then you need to be careful about when you get up early."
I simply reminded her to be mindful of the time and didn't say anything more.
The other educated youth, though eager to take advantage of Chen Mu Ning, hoped she would agree to eat with them.
But after spending a month together, especially after she showed no mercy to He Xiaolan and beat her up.
He dared not utter a word at this moment, lest he say something wrong and offend the big boss.
So, everyone agreed and got up and went back to their rooms after the two finished speaking.
Shen Mu Ning did the same thing, but she first washed her body with hot water from the kettle in her room before extinguishing the oil lamp.
Then he slipped into the space.
"Master, you've finally come in." As soon as she entered, the Bloodthirsty Vine scurried over to her.
Long before, after teaching He Xiaolan a lesson and knowing that she had returned to the educated youth settlement, the Bloodthirsty Vine, which was no longer in danger, took root in the space.
After receiving my share of the spiritual spring water for the day, I drank it with great relish.
Seeing its owner enter, it pulled itself out of the soil and ran to her side.
"Yeah, chatting with them took up a bit of time."
Shen Mu Ning stroked the newly grown, tender green branches of the Bloodthirsty Vine, explaining to it as she did so.
"Oh dear, why are they wasting so much time? It's so late, and you haven't even had dinner yet, Master!"
The Bloodthirsty Vine wasn't most concerned about what its owner had done, but rather that it was bad for his health not to have eaten dinner so late.
After all, in its previous life, it had seen many humans who starved to death because they had no food to eat.
Whenever I think about how people feel unwell and even starve to death if they don't eat on time, I feel a pang of sadness.
It felt that humans were so weak and pitiful.
Unlike plants, which can survive as long as they are rooted in the soil and have water and air.
And this mutated plant is even more amazing.
It can survive for a long time even if placed in a desert without water or soil.
After all, even if it can't absorb nutrients and water from the soil, it can still survive by absorbing wood-based elements.
Unlike its master, who, despite possessing superpowers, cannot survive without food.
"Thank you for your concern, Xiaoteng, but I cook very quickly, and I'm not so easily hungry anymore."
Since her wood-based superpower reached level three, the changes it made to her body have become less noticeable.
So now her appetite is normal, and she won't get extremely hungry if she misses a meal.
Otherwise, she would have quit the stargazing group long ago and gone back to cooking.
After all, she believed that she could never wrong herself, even if it meant wronging anyone else.
After saying that, Shen Mu Ning began preparing dinner.
There's no time to steam buns or dumplings today.
First, I made a meal of pancakes and porridge to fill my stomach. I made a big pot of each kind, and put the leftovers in the kitchen.
If I don't have time to cook tomorrow, I can just serve it out and eat it.
Of course, it's not feasible to eat only this much during the entire autumn harvest.
So prepare a pot of pork, rabbit, and pheasant meat—all the kinds of meat that can be stir-fried.
Now, besides the wild boars that are still growing, the pheasants and rabbits in the space are also in trouble.
Following Shen Mu Ning's orders, the Bloodthirsty Vine killed and bled all the fully grown vines.
We're just waiting for her to process it further before it's ready to cook.
Each person, with their own tendon, didn't mind the trouble and cooked a lot of dishes, wasting a lot of meat and vegetables.
That's how we ended up with the kitchen full of food reserves.
"Alright, now we won't have to cook for at least ten days."
Shen Mu Ning looked at the vegetables on the cutting board and in the cupboard, and spoke to the Bloodthirsty Vine.
Only then did I stretch my body and walk outside.
"Mmm, Master is so amazing! The food you made smells so good."
Even if you're flattering me, I won't give you any more!
Looking at his own mutated plant, the Bloodthirsty Vine, and listening to its fawning voice.
Shen Mu Ning was speechless. Whose plants eat? And they're so greedy.
She had previously felt that the number of meat sauces she made didn't match up.
She later realized that it had secretly eaten her food.
"Oh, Master, we are soulmates, living and coexisting together, so we are one. Why make such a distinction?"
"Of course, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine!"
For a bite to eat, the Bloodthirsty Vine was willing to go to any lengths, saying whatever was nice to hear.
"I've already shared half of my food with you, so don't even think about getting the rest!"
No matter what the Bloodthirsty Vine said, Shen Mu Ning wouldn't budge.
The main problem is that she was exhausted, both physically and mentally, from making so many dishes.
She simply couldn't understand those who treated cooking as a form of enjoyment.
After all, the preparation time for cooking is always quite long.
Moreover, all she has now is firewood and a coal stove; even tending the fire is exhausting.
Fortunately, she was clever and nurtured the Bloodthirsty Vine into an all-around talent, even teaching it how to start a fire.
"Master, I promise that after eating your food, I will work harder in the future and become an all-rounder in the kitchen."
"We'll try our best to free your hands as soon as possible. Just give us your order and we'll serve you the dishes."
The Bloodthirsty Vine, having secretly sensed its master's thoughts, made a very obsequious promise.
Although, until now, it only knows how to kill and is not very skilled at making fire.
But it will do anything for food, let alone just make such a promise.
If its owner forgets, it will eat and drink for free.
If the owner still remembers that he needs to learn how to be a well-rounded person, that would be good too.
Once I learn how, I'll be able to make it myself.
"I haven't had time to teach you how to cook lately. How about this, you can start by watching how to wash and prepare vegetables and meat?"
It can sense its own thoughts, and isn't Shen Mu Ning the same?
Ever since she uttered the word 'all-rounder' that came to mind, she has been cheating with her mental power.
Perceive the thoughts that arise from its tiny intelligence.
That's how she caught him thinking that he wouldn't lose money no matter which way he went.
But can Shen Mu Ning grant its wish?
That's absolutely impossible.
But having it learn to prepare ingredients first made things much easier for me.
"Uh, Master, why are you so cold-hearted, ruthless, and unreasonable?"
