Chapter 157
"Oh, that, I'm so sorry, I seem to have eaten too much."
Qingxi, who had temporarily sorted out her relationship with Rengoku Kyojuro, was excitedly kissed, hugged and lifted up high by him. Then, with a feeling of despair in her heart, she pulled the man, who no longer looked like an owl but more like a big golden retriever, back.
Things just happened too suddenly, and she was so focused on trying to sort things out with the other person that she left him there. Now that it's over, she has to find him back.
After all, they are all disciples of Rengoku Kyojuro. As his master, you should be more reliable.
After bringing the people back, as a celebration for the master and disciple, Qingxi took them to the crow house, took the two stoves, cooked a pot of black rice, slaughtered a 20-pound local flavor chicken, and added sky-type black fungus, potatoes, beans, lotus root slices, eggplant, and green peppers to make a big pot of clay pot chicken.
When the chicken in the pot was almost cooked, she put the prepared corn tortillas around the surface of the pot, then covered it with a lid and waited for a few minutes. When the corn tortillas were cooked, she could open the pot and eat.
As for why such a hearty dish was prepared as a celebration at a time when it was neither lunch nor dinner, it was of course because Rengoku Kyojuro was a down-to-earth person.
People like him shouldn't do anything fancy. Compared to those fancy things, they might not be as interesting to him as a few sweet potatoes.
As a celebration for them, Qingxi naturally did whatever they wanted.
However, what she never expected was that a pot of black rice and a pot of hard dishes and corn cakes were actually finished by the two of them.
"No, it's nothing." He looked at the empty rice pot, then at the chicken pot that was filled with soup without any soup left. "On the contrary, it seems that I am not well prepared.
It’s not very convenient here. Next time, when you two are free, we can reschedule a time and I’ll make a new table for you.”
"Ah, can I, can I?" Kanroji Mitsuri asked nervously. "Don't you think I ate too much?"
"Really?" Qingxi was stunned. "As the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing. The fact that you can eat so much means that you have a lot of blessings."
"But, but." It was the first time someone told her that eating a lot didn't make her a freak, but a blessing. Kanroji Mitsuri's light green eyes were filled with disbelief. "In this era, the mainstream has always been that women should be modest and gentle, and treat their husbands with humility, and regard them as their gods... No man would be interested in a woman like me who eats a lot and is all muscle... And my hair, because I ate 170 sakuramochi every day for eight months, turned the color of sakuramochi one day. People around me look at me very differently now."
Qingxi rolled his eyes, "To hell with them."
"Huh? Huh!!" The girl's words were a little scary, and shocked Mitsuri Kanroji a little.
"Have you ever thought that those who keep holding on to this flaw of yours, which I don't think is a flaw, are doing so because they envy you?" Qingxi asked.
Hello, your brainwashing bug will arrive in one second.jpg
"If you can manage to eat 170 sakuramochi every day for eight months, that means you're well-maintained. You're also very beautiful. Even though your hair color has inexplicably changed, it doesn't detract from your looks. On the contrary, it really complements you. It's only natural that someone who's both profitable and beautiful would be envied by the men and women around you."
Men will constantly slander you with words out of jealousy, because that is the only way to prove that they are not a loser who is inferior to women. Women will slander you with words out of jealousy, because that is the only way to satisfy their vanity.
Even worse, if you think about it, they do that to undermine your self-confidence and make you live with inferiority and cowardice, so that they, as men, can gather you at home and turn you into a money-making machine. When women see you like that, they will laugh secretly and eliminate a strong rival around them.
However, in reality, you are a good person, but being the object of envy by those around you is your original sin."
"Is that so?" Kanroji Mitsuri, who had always been praised for her good qualities, felt her body light and fluttery, as if she were lying on a cloud. "I'm actually not as good as you say, Aki."
"You have good conditions. So, if you can't find someone who truly loves you, don't just settle for any man, because no matter how you think about it, you will be at a disadvantage." Qingxi said matter-of-factly.
After a pause, she added, "At least if I put myself in your shoes, I wouldn't settle for just any man before I'm thirty."
As soon as she finished her words, her hand was grabbed by another rough, calloused hand. She looked over and, not surprisingly, met Rengoku Kyojuro's gaze.
"So, Aki, was it for this reason that you were alone all that time?" asked Rengoku Kyojuro.
She realized that he was asking her why she was always alone in the world of gourmet food, from childhood to adulthood, from youth to old age.
She hesitated, but nodded honestly.
"Hmm, hahahaha."
Qingxi: "..." Cat with dead eyes.jpg
Kanroji Mitsuri: “???” What’s wrong? What did I miss?
Looking at Rengoku Kyojuro who suddenly burst into laughter, Qingxi felt a little pain in his eyes because of his smile.
"That's enough." She warned.
Don’t you see that pink flowers are about to materialize on your body?
After being warned, Rengoku Kyojuro restrained himself, but the smile on his lips could not be wiped away. "Aki, I'm very happy."
"What are you so happy about?" A bad thing appeared in the change of their identities, which was that their relationship also changed. Looking at the young man who showed that mysterious smile again, she felt a headache.
Rengoku Kyojuro's two small locks of hair stood up and swayed, "Um, because I'm Aki's first."
Ah Xi didn't have anyone she liked when she was in the food world. After coming to my world, she has only promised me to give it a try after she becomes an adult. To round it off, I am Ah Xi's first love.
First love!!!
Rengoku Kyojuro felt that he had no regrets at all.
"Kyojuro..." Qingxi's expression was indescribable after she understood the other party's unfinished words.
However, Mitsuri Kanroji, who didn't know that Qingxi came from another world and didn't know her real age, felt a little unwell.
The first? The first what? The first lover?
Isn't that normal? Looking at Ah Xi's age, she can't be a seasoned womanizer.
Thinking of this, Mitsuri Kanroji's body trembled, and she secretly stared at Qingxi for a long time. Well, her eyes were clear, and it was definitely not what she thought.
So, what exactly is this "first"? She really wants to know.
After all, I am already your apprentice and we are all family. Master, can't you just reveal a little bit?
Kanroji Mitsuri is filled with resentment. The cat is rolling around on the ground.jpg
The three of them sat and chatted for a while before preparing to pack up.
However, Qingxi was excluded.
To paraphrase Mitsuri Kanroji, "Aki, you've worked hard cooking, now just take a good rest."
To paraphrase Rengoku Kyojuro, "Hmm, Aki, just leave it there and I'll wash it."
In short, she just had some free time... However, she didn't stay idle for long, because it would be time to prepare food for the pillars soon.
However, this time, she didn't plan to cook. For a job like this where she had to prepare food for people every day, with her food backpack, she would usually make a large portion at one time, saving one or two dishes every day. In a month, she could have one or two hundred dishes saved in her food backpack. That way, if she was too lazy to cook one day, she could pick a few of these dishes out as today's portion for the pillars and pack them up for Jiro to send away.
After Jiro delivered the food to the nearby restaurant, Qingxi planned to deliver the food to the remaining restaurants on his way back.
"Hmm, Axi, are you leaving?" asked Rengoku Kyojuro, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
"Hmm." Qingxi made a sound through her nose after climbing onto Jiro's back and sitting down.
After Yagen Toushirou sat on Jiro's back, his purple eyes swept across Rengoku Kyojuro's face.
Although he didn't come to the crowhouse just now, he had eyes and it was obvious that the atmosphere between the two of them had changed.
As for the general... forget it, it seems that the man is the most popular at the moment.
He withdrew his gaze and rest assured that when he returned, he would tell Mr. Beimingyu about the fact that the children of the Purgatory family were targeting the general.
I think that in order to prevent his own cub from being taken back to his den by other wolf cubs too early, I believe Mr. Beimingyu will take action.
Rengoku Kyojuro, who was unaware that he was being targeted, only felt that the way Yagen Toushirou looked at him was a little strange. But before he could investigate further, the other party had already retracted his gaze and paid attention to whether Qingxi's seat belt was fastened properly.
Rengoku Kyojuro was helpless and just thought that the glance just now was just dazzlement.
However, when he later found out that he hadn't seen Qingxi again for the next few months, he vaguely realized what that look meant.
Beimingyu Xingming: ...Namo Amitabha.
Ah Xi is still young, and I plan to raise her for a few more years.
Yagen Toushirou's lips curled up into a domineering smile, concealing his achievements and fame.
