This was a pleasant surprise.
Xue Junhan then set his sights on Ye Xiruo's newly brewed spirit wine, and simply moved into Ye Xiruo's courtyard, ostensibly to help her cultivate.
Ye Xiruo could only chuckle at this. His master's hypocrisy and insincerity were truly awkward.
However, Ye Xiruo did not plan to cultivate these days. At the end of the year, everyone else in the courtyard also stopped cultivating and was busy.
We cleaned up the garden, cleared away all the weeds, drained the pond and replaced it with fresh water, and cleaned every room thoroughly.
Then everyone went out to eat delicious food, such as fish balls, beef balls, vegetable balls, chicken balls, and shrimp dumplings. Ye Xiruo also brought back some old braising liquid from Zuixianlou, added some fresh seasonings, and started cooking.
Then, put in all sorts of things like pig's trotters, pig's heart, pig's lungs, duck intestines, chicken heart, chicken intestines, chicken feet, ribs, pork belly, and some decent wild game meat and simmer them slowly.
That huge pot, wafting out an enticing aroma every day, naturally makes it taste better the longer you braise in it.
The next day, Hua Rong stared longingly at the big pot, her mouth practically watering, while Qing Zhiyi looked at Hua Rong with disgust.
"Quickly wipe your drool. You haven't eaten meat in centuries. I remember Little Leaf has never mistreated you."
Hua Rong glared angrily at Qing Zhiyi: "Don't you know I've been focusing on cultivation lately? I haven't had time to eat, drink, or have fun. Look at me, don't you think my face has gotten thinner? You really don't care about me at all."
"Oh ho, you're getting all smug now," Qing Zhiyi retorted mercilessly. "Really? I didn't notice. Your face is exactly the same size as before, it really looks like a big, round pancake."
Hua Rong was completely bewildered in the wind; this was truly devastating.
"Zhiyi, you're talking nonsense."
When Ye Xiruo came out, she saw Hua Rong pointing at Qing Zhiyi with a face full of grief and indignation. The pain in her eyes did not seem to be faked. What exactly happened?
"Hua Rong, Senior Brother Zhi Yi, what's wrong with you? Has something happened?"
"Little Leaf, you've come at the right time! Come and be my judge!"
"What's wrong? Did Senior Brother Zhiyi bully you?" That doesn't seem right.
"Little Leaf, look at me, look at my face, have I lost weight?"
After looking around carefully for a few moments, Ye Xiruo shook her head helplessly: "It doesn't seem like it."
Qingzhiyi fanned herself with her fan and said leisurely, "See, I was right."
"Little Leaf, look again, my face is clearly smaller," Hua Rong said, feeling wronged. She had clearly lost weight, so why hadn't anyone noticed?
"It does seem to be a little bit, but it's not very obvious."
Wow, that was a fatal blow; Hua Rong is dead.
"I hate you all."
"No, Hua Rong, I actually came out to check if the braised meat was ready. It looks like it's about time."
"Really? That's wonderful! I want to eat, I want to eat!" Hua Rong couldn't wait any longer. What she ate was always the most important thing, okay?
"I'll go take a look right away."
Hua Rong waited expectantly from the side.
"Alright, it's ready to eat. I'll scoop out a bowl first, and keep the rest braised before throwing some more in."
That's right, braising liquid is that convenient. Give me a pot of braising liquid, and I can move the entire Blue Ocean Continent.
With a good pot of braising liquid, you can put any meat or vegetable you like into it and reheat it. The result will be a delightful surprise.
Ye Xiruo quickly scooped out a large bowl of meat, and Hua Rong had already prepared her own small bowl, so she quickly put the meat into her own bowl.
Qingzhi covered her face; the scene was simply unbearable to look at.
"It smells so good~~~" Before long, everyone who smelled the aroma arrived in a flurry.
Over the years, Hua Rong has developed a knack for grabbing and protecting food. As soon as he heard the footsteps, Ju Fei quickly grabbed a few pieces of meat and put the whole bowl in his hand into his spatial ring.
Then, he quickly picked up two large bones, one for himself and one for Qingzhiyi.
He blew on it twice and then started eating.
The meat in the large basin was disappearing at a visible speed, demonstrating the formidable fighting power of everyone present.
Fortunately, Ye Xiruo had prepared in advance and had already scooped up a small basinful and put it in her spatial ring. Her master and Brother Xiu Qi would definitely be able to finish it off when they got back.
After Hua Rong finished eating the large piece of pork ribs, she didn't fight with the others. Instead, she pulled Qing Zhiyi back to their small courtyard, closed the doors and windows, and took out her small basin.
"I was wise; otherwise, we wouldn't even have left any meat broth in the end."
"You're hopeless." Qingzhiyi was truly disappointed in him.
"What's wrong? I'm doing this all for you, hmph."
"Alright, you're so smart, you're the most brilliant one. Hurry up and eat, don't let it get cold, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"You eat too. I picked your favorite pork heart and liver."
Thank you.
"He who eats another's food is bound to him. If you ever say I'm fat again, hmph," Hua Rong thought to herself, her little scheme already in full swing.
Ye Xiruo took out two bowls of meat, offal, ribs, and other ingredients from her spatial ring and put them all into the braising liquid. Finally, she added some potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, button mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, lotus root slices, kelp, and other vegetables.
These dishes should be ready to eat tomorrow.
After Ye Xiruo finished her work, she found that the large bowl of meat she had just scooped out, along with the broth, had been completely devoured. Everyone's fighting power was truly impressive.
"Don't worry, we'll make some other delicious food this afternoon."
"Yay! That's great, more delicious food!"
Ye Xiruo went back first. These past few days, Brother Xiuqi's aura has been a bit unstable. It is estimated that he will break through in the next few days. Pills and such have already been prepared, as well as spirit crystals, some protective magic tools and spiritual artifacts.
Although the master lived in their courtyard, he was often elusive and mysterious, appearing only briefly and never returning.
The two things that can lure a master out are: first, spirit wine, which must be of high quality or above; and second, delicious food.
Just as Ye Xiruo took out a small bowl of braised meat from her spatial ring, Xue Junhan appeared, sitting in his usual spot.
Holding a chopstick in his hand, he began to eat with a satisfied expression.
"Master, you're back."
"I've always been here, you just haven't noticed."
Ha~ Is this another instance of being looked down upon?
"This is braised pork I just took out of the water. What do you think?"
"Okay." After saying that, the chopsticks started moving quickly.
