Chapter 150.1: Reincarnation of a Ghost that had Starved to DeathOriginal and most updated translations are on volare. If this is being found anywhere else, it has been stolen. Donโt support theft. ๐
Xiao Dao had never heard anything about Tang Doudou knowing how to cook while they were in Mist City, thus, he found it quite novel when he saw how familiar she was with the process and consciously moved faster. He soon brought the wine and came back to place it in the kitchen. When he saw that Tang Doudou had already finished several dishes, he was even more shocked.
โWhat are you standing here for? Have you called the people I told you to call?โ Tang Doudou used chopsticks to check the taste of the dish inside the pot and shook her head. She added more salt, then lifted her head only to discover that Xiao Dao was still standing at the entrance.
Xiao Dao was still captivated by the fragrance filling the kitchen. When Tang Doudou suddenly called him, he jolted back to his senses. โIโll go right now.โ
After he finished speaking, he immediately ran off.
However, he soon came back again.
โEven if youโre here all you can do is look. Youโll have to wait until everyone gets here before you can eat. How can you be a hidden guard when youโre so impatientโฆโ Tang Doudou didnโt turn around so she didnโt see that Jun Xin was following behind Xiao Dao.
Jun Xin made a gesture towards Xiao Dao and Xiao Dao silently withdrew.
โCrap, where did the garlic go?โ Since she was working by herself without a single helper, the neat kitchen ended up becoming very messy. She couldnโt find a lot of things. Right now, she couldnโt even remember where she had thrown the garlic.
โXiao Dao, donโt just stand there, hurry and help me find the garlic!โ
As she stooped to search around, Jun Xin saw the garlic that was right next to her hand. He walked over there quietly and picked it up to hand it to her.
โEh? How did you manage to find it so fastโฆโ Tang Doudou cried out happily upon seeing the garlic suddenly appear. However, when she raised her head, she found that it wasnโt Xiao Dao who was handing it to her but Jun Xin, whose face was full of condescension.
โIt was right next to you. You really are stupid.โ Jun Xin threw the garlic towards Tang Doudou, then started looking through the dishes Tang Doudou finished as if he was inspecting them. โThere are so many dishes, who did you invite over?โ
โBrat, you sure came quickly.โ Tang Doudou rolled her eyes. Jun Xinโs nose was practically like that of a dogโs. No matter how far away he was, he could still smell the scent of the latrineโฆ
Cough. This wasnโt a good comparison, it was a little too revolting.
Tang Doudou smashed open the garlic. She didnโt have time to care about Jun Xin right now. She counted the finished dishes. Four more would probably be enough.
โWho does this courtyard belong to? Why didnโt I know before that there was actually such a nice place behind the Alliance Head Residence? You like magnolias?โ Tang Doudou didnโt have time to mind Jun Xin, but Jun Xin had no intention of allowing her to cook peacefully. He kept asking questions nonstop.
โAfter two months of not seeing you, youโve gone from being a brat to being an esteemed mother? Hold your questions, I donโt have time to pay attention to you right now,โ said Tang Doudou, annoyed. She was currently holding a spatula with a confused expression on her face. Did she add salt earlier or not?
โYouโre not bad either ah, youโve become even more sharp-tongued,โ sneered Jun Xin. However, he didnโt continue asking questions because he seemed to have seen Tang Doudou sprinkle salt in two times.
He had no desire to eat dishes that were salty to the point that it made oneโs teeth fall out.
Once Jun Xin shut up, Tang Doudouโs movements returned to their earlier ease. Before long she had finished the remaining dishes.
โAlright, itโs done!โ
Tang Doudou felt very accomplished as she looked at the two dozen dishes on the large table. She untied her apron and called for Qing Yin and Meng Yu who had already arrived to help carry the dishes out to the table in the courtyard.
Jun Xin also followed them out. He wasnโt surprised to see the people present. After all, she didnโt know anyone other than these people.
โEveryone, donโt be formal, sit down and eat!โ Tang Doudou beckoned for everyone to sit down. โBig Brother Yu, come try this and see how my skill is!โ
Jun Xin didnโt need Tang Doudou to call him at all. He sat down on his own, the only things in his almond eyes were the dishes.
Qing Yin and Meng Yu helped place the bowls and chopsticks, poured the wine and drinks, then stood with Xiao Dao at the side.
โWhat are you standing for? Sit!โ Tang Doudou glanced at them with a helpless expression. โWe all have hands and feet, we donโt need you guys to wait on us. Xiao Dao, go see why Xiao Bai and the Wu family brothers still arenโt here.โ
Xiao Dao left with the order and Meng Yu came over to take a seat. However, Qing Yin still didnโt come over. She smiled and said, โIโll just stand, someone has to pour the wine.โ
Seeing that her expression was determined, Tang Doudou didnโt try to force her. She had said last time that she had to slowly help change Qing Yinโs perspective, but she never had the chance. Now, she said, โQing Yin, when youโre not busy with affairs in Plum Garden, could you come over and help me sort out this courtyard?โ
Upon hearing this, Qing Yinโs face lit up. โReally? I can come over?โ
โWhen have I lied to you before?โ Tang Doudouโs expression then turned stern. โHowever, there are rules here at my place.โ
โAs long as Li gongzi allows me to come, Qing Yin will not object even if Qing Yin ends up dead!โ Even after finding out that Tang Doudou was female, Qing Yin still wanted to serve her, for the sake of repaying her life-saving grace.
Her words were a little too serious, for a while Tang Doudou didnโt know how to respond. However, she soon saw Bai Feiyun standing on the wall and said, โXiao Bai, hurry and come down. Weโre just waiting on you guys!โ
Then she turned around and said to Qing Yin, โSo, I have just one rule. Everyone here must eat at the table!โ
She didnโt wait for Qing Yinโs reaction and told Meng Yu to pull her to a seat. The Wu family brothers also climbed over the wall and came over. Their expressions were a bit awkward at scaling a wall in front of so many people, but their expressions immediately turned excited when they saw Golden Wind Jade Dew sitting at the table.
โGreat Stronghold Master, Second Stronghold Master, you guys are already here? Why didnโt you let us brothers know?โ
Yu Fenger laughed tenderly as he said, โThe moment we arrived we were dragged here by Doudou, thatโs why we didnโt have time to contact you guys.โ
Now that everyone had arrived, they all picked up their chopsticks to start eating.
Right at this moment, however, a jaw-dropping scene occured.
