Jun Ze raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence? Did you just happen to walk to the hot spring when you were collecting firewood?"
Chen Yao: "It can be said... not really... I was originally chasing a fat rabbit, but it disappeared without a trace after running into the bamboo forest.
So I just kept looking inside, and then I saw the hot spring, and then it became what you see today."
Junze knew she was explaining to him why she was in the hot spring, but he didn't understand her intention of catching the rabbit, so he asked, "What are you going to do with the fat rabbit?"
Chen Yao hadn't expected that the point he had captured was this, and she was embarrassed and said, "I... I haven't eaten much all day, so... I was hungry. And then I happened to come across a fat rabbit, so I thought of catching it and roasting it."
Jun Ze understood and continued to ask, "Did you catch it?"
Chen Yao blushed: "No, no."
Of course she couldn't catch him, because these things were all made up by her.
The reason why she made up so many stories was to cover up the truth of how she, a newcomer, could discover such a hidden hot spring.
Chen Yao looked at Jun Ze nervously, hoping that he wouldn't become suspicious.
But Junze suddenly stopped for some reason and looked straight at her.
Chen Yao's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had revealed a flaw somewhere, allowing him to see something. Her breathing became rapid.
Don't be nervous, don't be nervous...
She quietly slowed down her breathing and made herself look normal.
The next second——
A bony hand reached out to her, and the owner of the hand said in a cold voice, "Peanut candy, want some?"
Chen Yao looked up at him in surprise, and reached out to take the handful of peanut candies wrapped in oil paper that he handed over. After coming to her senses, she smiled and said to him, "Thank you, Master."
Who would have thought that the Master, who looked so cold and noble, and had no worldly airs, would actually carry something as down-to-earth as peanut candy with him?
Jun Ze said calmly, "You're welcome."
Chen Yao quickly opened the oil paper wrapper of a peanut candy and put the square-cut peanut candy into her mouth.
A rich sweet aroma instantly spread across her tongue, a delicious blend of the sweetness of boiled and fried sugar and the crispy aroma of fried peanuts.
This peanut candy tastes surprisingly good, even better than any she had eaten before. She doesn’t know whether Junze bought it or made it himself.
If he did it himself, it would be really amazing.
But, logically speaking, shouldn't cultivators be less concerned with food? Some even practice abstaining from food. So why would they bring peanut candy with them when they came to Junze?
After thinking about it, she asked curiously, "Master, why do you have this on you?"
Jun Ze looked at the round bump on the side of her face that was bulging with peanut candy and said lightly, "Are you talking about peanut candy?"
Chen Yao looked at him and nodded.
Junze also opened one, put it in his mouth, and imitated her by using the peanut candy to prop up the side of his face, and said lightly:
"This was made by your uncle Qu Jing himself. He handed me a handful this morning, saying it was a fresh batch and asked me to try it to see if the taste was any better than before."
Chen Yao was surprised, Qujing?
Is he the outgoing-looking man who greeted her at noon?
Unexpectedly, the other party is not only good at making peanut candy, but also likes to study and improve the taste.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jun Ze casually asked, "Do you like it? Then I'll ask your uncle Qu Jing to get you some more."
At this time, Chen Yao had finished eating the peanut candy in her mouth and was working on opening a new one.
Hearing Jun Ze's words, she subconsciously shook her head and said, "No, Master, these are enough for me."
Jun Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry about the trouble. Your uncle Qu Jing is just hoping that someone will like what he makes."
Chen Yao raised her eyes.
Junze realized that he had said too much, so he pursed his lips and stopped talking.
As for why Qujing is so keen on studying food, there are reasons in the past.
A few years ago, there was a Taoist companion in Qujing who was from the Hehuan Sect. When they practiced Taoism together, they were very happy and carefree.
But in the following period of time, no one knows what happened between the two of them, anyway, they suddenly broke off their relationship and went back to their respective sects.
Half a year later, when Qu Jing met her former Taoist partner again, she already had a new Taoist partner. Her new Taoist partner was a simple, rough country man who only knew how to cook and do housework. He seemed not worthy of her at all.
Now, Qu Jing's unwillingness and desire to win were completely aroused. Could he be worse than that man? Not necessarily.
Isn't it just cooking? He can learn it too.
Isn't it just a chore? He can do it easily.
So he began to use his spare time to study cooking.
After he learned how to cook a lot of delicious food, he inexplicably found that this had become a hobby. He was able to let go of the past and no longer felt angry.
But this hobby really became a hobby, and he never turned back on this path of research.
However, he would sometimes be keen on researching the same category and would repeatedly make the same thing within a certain period of time. This resulted in people around him tasting the same thing over and over again and getting very bored.
