Chapter 25 The Tongue is Gone



Master Du was somewhat speechless. "Is that all? Little girl, I'll give you an address later, you can go and exchange it yourself."

He felt that this girl was somewhat mysterious, so he thought he should help her if he could.

To be honest, he couldn't understand why she could bring out all these nice things but couldn't exchange them for money.

However, none of this concerns him; he only needs to process the ingredients in his hands.

Thinking this, he immediately started to shoo her away, "Alright, Jing, take her to the private room and wait."

"Little girl, this thing takes some time; you might have to wait a little longer."

Liu Shile nodded knowingly. This was not the apocalypse, so it would naturally take longer to prepare these ingredients.

However, Chen Jing was useless at this moment.

She was stunned by Uncle Du's words. "Uncle Du, are you saying you can introduce someone to exchange money with Sister Liu?"

Then she nodded, "That's true, Uncle Du has a much wider network of connections than I do, so it's normal for him to know these things."

I'm so stupid, I've been worrying about this all morning!

"If I'd known, I should have asked Uncle Du first. Oh, look at my brain, so stupid!"

Master Du just smiled and said, "Alright, take the person over there and come back to help me prepare the side dishes."

"Okay, Uncle Du, I'll be right back." With that, he happily pulled Liu Shile away.

Liu Shile felt that waiting idly in the private room wasn't a good idea.

So he shamelessly said, "Sister Jing, could you please find me some newspapers or books? I think it's quite boring to just wait here."

Chen Jing chuckled upon hearing this and gently patted her little head. "Okay, I'll go find it for you right away. Just wait here."

After saying that, she turned and left. She had been working here for quite some time and usually brought some books with her to pass the time.

So everything was already there, just in her usual resting room.

A short while later, she came over with several books.

"These are just things I look at for fun, Sister Liu, please make do with them."

She had no doubt whatsoever that the girl was literate.

After all, the brother and sister didn't look like they were used to doing manual labor.

After thanking Chen Jing, Liu Shile sat quietly in the private room reading a book.

To be honest, she didn't study much in the post-apocalyptic world, mainly because her parents passed away early.

But compared to ordinary people without superpowers, she is relatively lucky; at least she is not illiterate.

This is also why she is not opposed to continuing her studies.

The original owner's grades were considered above average at school, and she thought that since she was here, her grades should naturally be improved.

To prevent her mother from bringing this up all the time.

Yes, every time she wanted her two children to drop out of school and go home, she basically used her mediocre grades as an excuse.

As for her second brother, he was forced to drop out of school because of her.

She decided that she would no longer burden her second brother, so she would study hard and strive for improvement every day.

Perhaps time flies when you're focused.

Before she had even finished reading the book in her hand, Chen Jing came over and called her happily.

Smelling the rich aroma, Liu Shile swallowed hard, she really wanted to eat it!

Master Du was very confident in his culinary skills, and when he saw her coming over, a smug look appeared on his face.

Seeing her swallowing every now and then almost made me burst out laughing.

He thought that someone who could produce such good things shouldn't act like this.

But when he thought about the current environment, he could understand her behavior.

He could imagine that after he brought this dish home, his mother would probably do the same.

After all, it's been so long since I've had such good food!

So although he has excellent cooking skills, he doesn't have much opportunity to use them nowadays.

This was under the condition that he was in a state-run hotel; if...

Forget it, why think so much? The most important thing is to live each day to the fullest.

"Girl, come and try it, see how my cooking is!"

He smiled and gestured for her to proceed, then handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Liu Shile smiled and accepted the chopsticks without ceremony.

Le said, "I can tell from the aroma that Uncle Du is a great cook. I'll try some to satisfy my craving."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of beef without the slightest hesitation. This dish was braised, which she liked.

There were also some stir-fried dishes on the side, which looked delicious too.

Liu Shile used all her strength to control herself from swallowing the beef in one gulp, and instead savored it slowly.

While tasting it, he gave Master Du a thumbs up, saying, "Delicious, so delicious, it's made my tongue tingle."

Her words immediately made Master Du and Chen Jing burst into laughter.

"You little rascal, try this stir-fried pork."

Master Du chuckled, pointing to the stir-fried pork. He loved seeing the satisfied smiles on other people's faces when they ate his dishes.

Liu Shile nodded, tasted another small piece, and then nodded again.

Although it's still a bit inferior to the culinary superpowers of those in the apocalypse.

But this was absolutely the best dish she had ever eaten in this era, bar none.

Well, she hasn't eaten many dishes prepared by the chef, so she really can't compare to others.

But that doesn't stop her from praising others for doing a good job. After all, who doesn't like to hear nice things?

Her candid comments won Master Du's favor.

Therefore, he readily said, "Girl, you can just take this pottery jar with you and leave later, you don't need to return it."

"Oh, really? I was just worried about how to take them with me. Uncle Du, you're so kind, thank you so much!"

"Sister Jing, could you please get me a few bowls?"

Liu Shile was genuinely happy; she had truly forgotten that she was supposed to bring things back with her finished products.

She was just wondering what to do when someone gave her a big gift, and the best part is, she didn't have to pay it back.

What a wonderful person! She deserves to be treated well. Who knows, there might be opportunities to get to know him again in the future?

Chen Jing was also tempted, and upon hearing this, she mechanically brought over a few bowls.

Then she saw the little girl fill both large bowls to the brim, until they were overflowing.

Then I saw her put some of the stir-fried beef into the other two bowls as well.

Then she scooped out some rice, which she then put together for herself.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Master Du's eyes. This girl was quite good; she was indeed worth helping.

After doing all this, Liu Shile smiled and said, "Thank you for troubling Uncle Du and Sister Jing today. I can't refuse such a small token of my appreciation."

She didn't show favoritism, because there was absolutely no need for it.

Anyway, she still has to deal with Uncle Du these next few days.

Chen Jing repeatedly said that she could not accept it, as she felt unworthy of it.

However, after being persuaded by Liu Shile, she eventually accepted it.

Master Du smiled and nodded, accepting the gift without hesitation.

Then he handed her the note he had written earlier, saying only, "Just say that Du Yunfan sent you."

Liu Shile glanced at the address and nodded her thanks.
