Just as the rice was put into the pot, Erzhu knocked on the door. Xiu Qiyu removed the formation and let him in.
"Good morning, older brother and sister. Grandma is calling you to come over for breakfast."
"Go back and thank Grandma. My sister has already prepared dinner, so I won't go over."
"I see." Erzhu's tone and expression were somewhat disappointed.
"Remember to come to our house for lunch with Grandma today. My sister will be cooking a big meal."
"Really?" The little guy's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes, go back and have breakfast! Don't keep Grandma waiting."
"Then I'll head back now, thank you, brother and sister."
Even in the morning, Ye Xiruo didn't intend to deprive herself. She cooked a large pot of chestnut and lean pork porridge, and also made chicken shredded pancakes, scallion and egg pancakes, as well as mushroom and cabbage, dried plum vegetables, and eggplant and green bean buns. All the ingredients were spiritual vegetables from her space, and Ye Xiruo's cooking skills were quite good, so the taste was naturally excellent. Xiu Qiyu ate to her heart's content.
After dinner, Ye Xiruo made a phone call to Yang Yongqing. After relaxing for several days, it was time to get down to business.
It seems inevitable that things will turn up in Linjiang City. Ye Xiruo decides to head there tomorrow to find Brother Yang and get the details. Feng Yi is human, not a god; he can't possibly handle things flawlessly. As long as they can find a breakthrough, they can definitely drag Feng Yi down with them. Then, they can hand over these materials or leak some to his opponents. His opponents will certainly seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely destroy Feng Yi.
Feng Yi's wealth all originated from the Ye family, so he should naturally return it, and even pay a sufficient price for his actions.
At noon, Ye Xiruo prepared a sumptuous meal, adding a lot of diluted spiritual water, which made the food taste much better than ordinary dishes and was also very beneficial to ordinary people. This was her way of repaying Sister-in-law Zhang.
Sister-in-law Zhang also brought over a large plate of the braised rabbit she had made that morning: "Xiao Ye, try your sister-in-law's cooking."
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind."
After the meal, Zhang Dasao and Erzhu were completely won over by Ye Xiruo. Erzhu ate with gusto, his mouth greasy and he was speechless. He really couldn't believe that Sister Ye was so beautiful and could cook such delicious food. He almost swallowed his tongue; he had never eaten such delicious food before.
Sister-in-law Zhang looked at Ye Xiruo with amazement: "Xiao Ye's cooking skills have surpassed those of Granny Chen."
"Sister-in-law, you flatter me. I am nowhere near as good as Grandma."
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.
Before leaving, Sister Zhang held Ye Xiruo's hand and said, "Little Ye, come back and visit more often when you have time. It's hard work working out there, so take a good rest when you come back." Sister Zhang's two sons were both working away from home.
"I know this place will always be my roots."
In the afternoon, the two secretly went up the mountain again. The joy of treasure hunting deeply excited Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu, and the two were having a great time.
Whether it was good luck or something else, the two actually found a 300-year-old ginseng. Ye Xiruo excitedly dug it out; a faint spiritual energy flowed within it, equivalent to a third-grade spiritual herb. Indeed, ginseng is a true treasure wherever it is. Ye Xiruo tossed the ginseng into her spatial storage, intending to give it to Brother Yang the next day to help him recover. They also discovered some wild fruits: sweet and sour plums, papayas, and some sour and astringent green apricots.
Xiu Qiyu caught a few pheasants, a wild boar, and two rabbits. The two of them finished their dinner on the mountain before leisurely descending the mountain.
The next morning, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu left Qingshui Village. They first took a car to the town, then another car to the county seat, and finally a train from the county seat to Linjiang City. The bumpy journey made both of them look very unwell.
To avoid alerting their opponents, both of them took disguise pills and set up a small illusion array on their ID cards, so that no matter who showed them the ID cards, there would be no problem with their faces.
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu arrived in Linjiang City close to evening. This bustling metropolis was slowly beginning to reveal its charm and allure. The bustling traffic under countless neon lights and the silent movement of countless figures fully displayed the charm of Linjiang.
However, both of them frowned at the bustling scene, especially Xiu Qiyu, who had never seen so many people, such crowded buildings, such dirty and chaotic air, or a city that could infinitely amplify people's inner desires.
“Brother Xiu Qi, this is the city where I lived the longest in my past life, so long that I’ve become numb to it.” Ye Xiruo’s tone and eyes were very indifferent, carrying a strong sense of estrangement.
"I prefer Qingshui Village; it's clean and pure."
"And what about me? It's a pity that everything has changed, and it's all my fault."
"No, it's not your fault. Some people are cold-hearted and calculating by nature. Can you guarantee that you can escape his schemes if you do it all over again? We still have a bright future ahead of us. Xiao Yezi, don't be too sad."
"Brother Xiuqi is right. I have already paid too much for that kind of scum. I can't waste any more time and life on such people."
"From now on, I hope that the only person you will ever think about is me."
Yes, it will.
The two were having coffee at an old coffee shop near the river. All the coffee beans here were imported from Brazil, and the baristas were all highly skilled. Ye Xiruo ordered a cappuccino and a caramel latte, as well as four or five of the shop's signature desserts, and she and Xiu Qiyu slowly enjoyed their coffee.
"Brother Xiu Qi, try this. I really miss this taste." Ye Xiruo added two portions of sugar and two pieces of coffee creamer before stopping, and slowly stirred the richly fragrant coffee with a small, delicate coffee spoon.
Xiu Qiyu picked up a fork and began to enjoy the desserts. They were indeed tastier than the ones she had bought a few days ago, and had fewer impurities.
"We specially hired two pastry chefs from Switzerland and France, and all the raw materials are air-freighted in, so the taste and appearance are unique." Ye Xiruo planned to pack a few more desserts to take away when she left.
Xiu Qiyu also showed great interest in this strange drink, coffee. This strange liquid was different from the deliciousness and lingering taste of spirit wine, but it was mellow and full of charm. It was bitter at first, but slowly the mellow aroma spread, leaving only a sweet aftertaste. No wonder Xiao Yezi liked this stuff.
Ignoring the stares of others, Ye Xiruo ordered six cups of coffee for Xiu Qiyu in one go: "Brother Xiu Qi, try them and see which one you like?"
