Kitchen Xiuzhen will be quite late today. A gentle reminder, we will be having a scheduled maintenance on the site tomorrow, so do not be alarm if you see some theme changes etc.
This is the male lead! It is important to build good relationships with him, so that in future, he will help out.
As he had not left the area, Shiyu immediately took a piece of chicken for him. After thinking for a short while, she decided to give him a drumstick instead, and asked Xiao Qi to deliver it to him.
Xiao Qi is still young, and will be in trouble in the future. Right now if she meet this male lead, maybe she can be saved in the future.
Xiao Qi looked at the drumstick and swallowed her saliva. Although she does not know why eldest sister wants her to give it to someone they do not know, she still does it anyway.
After opening the door, she saw a teenager clutching his chest, as if he was trying to endure the pain. She immediately pitied him and rushed up to him. Then she handed over the chicken drumstick, "Big brother, after eating this you will not be in pain anymore."
Lin Fan was surprised to see this young girl. At first, he wanted to ignore her. But her eyes were bright and clear and he could not find the heart to refuse her.
Lin Fan stroked Xiao Qi on her head, and looked a tad warmer, "Thank you, you eat it yourself!"
"I still have some at home." Xiao Qi tiptoed, and tried to put the chicken drumstick to his mouth. "Elder Sister cooked it. It is very tasty. Try it."
The tempting aroma keeps whiffing into his nose, and the warm and kind-hearted young girl makes him feel warm in his heart. Lin Fan give in and accepted the chicken and took a bite.
Under the golden skin, the chicken was white and tender. This is just an ordinary dish, but it does not have the hard taste of chicken. Rather, it is very soft and tender. Just a few mouthfuls, and he finished the drumstick.
For the first time, Lin Fan was unable to express himself.
He thought that he was hungry, that why the chicken taste so good. To show his appreciation, he thought for a moment and took out the jade necklace and gives it to Xiao Qi, "Thank you for the chicken drumstick. This is for you. If you met any trouble, come to Lin family mansion to find me. My name is Lin Fan."
Xiao Qi is a beggar, and is used to taking whatever someone gives her. Also, her mind was filled with the food waiting for her in the house, and did not think much about this. She immediately nodded her head, "Thank you, big brother!" and rushed back into the house.
Lin Fan watched her as she returned home, and saw the big tree in the courtyard. He memorises this place and continued to hobble home.
Maybe it is because the warm feeling in his heart affected him psychologically, but Lin Fan suddenly felt that his wounds are not as painful as before.
As soon as Xiao Qi returned home, she immediately gave the jade necklace to Shiyu, "That big brother gives this to me." Then she joined the others in a feeding frenzy.
Shiyu looked at this jade necklace, and thought that in future, if she needs the help of the male lead, she could use this necklace as evidence. She was happy. But after examining this necklace closer, she thought that it looks familiar.
Accordingly to the novel that Er Gou wrote, Lin Fan always carries this necklace with him everywhere he goes. This is necklace contains a large dimensional storage space and also a soul lives there. The male lead used his spiritual energy to feed the necklace for several years, and the soul inside was able to manifest itself. From that moment on, his life begins to turn around for the better [1].
Right now the necklace is given out as a gift. Without this necklace, how will the male lead become mighty and powerful?
Shiyu immediately rushed out and chased after the male lead.
Luckily she reacted very quickly and Lin Fan was injured and move very slow. She looked out of the door and saw the male lead at the end of the alleyway.
"Lin Fan—" Shiyu shouted and ran toward him. Then she put the necklace into his hand, and said, "This thing is too expensive, and we cannot keep this. Also, you better not give this necklace to anyone else. Inside it contains the key to your future."
After saying this, she did not wait for Lin Fan to react and immediately rushed home. Regarding what Lin Fan thought or do now is up to him.
As soon as she returned to the house, the chicken is all bones. But everyone had kept the chicken wings for her.
Xiao Wu was very full and he burped and rubbed his belly, "So blessed!"
At this moment, Shiyu felt a flow of energy from her lower abdomen. She reached out and touched the spot.
Oh, so the divine artefact is hidden in her Dantian [2].
After dinner, the sky had turned dark. Under the night sky, the stars glittered, and the sound of various birds and insects call out as the nocturnal creatures become active. Shiyu sat on a chair near the door, and was at peace.
This beautiful night sky is hard to see in a bustling and busy city with tall buildings everywhere. And the air here is not polluted and clean. Even the ingredients are natural and organic. She had heard that other than the common ingredients, there are some ingredients that contain spiritual energy. And there are the meat of spiritual beasts and the heavenly treasures ingredients as well.
This world is very big and there are many levels of cultivation. There are 8 more levels of cultivation after the normal human level. In future, if she could explore this world and raid all these rare and exotic ingredients, it would be perfect.
As she thought about this, Shiyu wanted to explore more of this world. As long as there are the same old familiar food, and ingredients, she will feel at ease.
She drifted off to sleep.
In the next few days, Shiyu would wake up early and sell the buns outside the city guards. The people in this world are very simple - if the food tastes good, they will share it with their friends and family. The first one to purchase shared it with 10 of family members. And these 10 family members shared with their friends and relatives. In no time at all, the entire city knows about these tasty steam buns that Shiyu sells, and her stall is very busy and the buns are sold out very quickly
Each day, as soon as the buns are ready, they are almost sold out instantly. There are also people who grumbled that she did not cook enough buns.
Shiyu does not want to make the business bigger. To do so would mean that she will be very tired and have no energy for other tasks. Also the money is easy to earn, but it is easier to spend. With a purchase here and there, the money was gone in a flash.
As the fame of her stall increase, someone powerful may take notice, and try to create trouble. This means that she could not continue doing this for a long time.
This is not a peaceful society like that of Earth. Rather this society is based on strength and power. Even before the male lead gains his power, he could only endure the beatings, not to mention powerless beggars like themselves.
In this situation, it is better to be low key and yet make a lot of money.
After selling all the buns, Shiyu immediately went to the hills to look for more plants that she intends to transport to the back garden. After several trips, the garden had been filled with various edible plants. When she returned, the garden was a lush green colour, and very pleasing to the eye.
She planted a few new plants, and the neighbours next door sent some dry chillies and some small lobsters and crayfish that they have caught from the river.
Looking at these tiny lobsters and crayfishes, Shiyu's eyes lit up. These are ideal for dinner!
But the quantity is not enough for everyone.
Therefore, she immediately summoned the children, "Let's go to the river and catch more lobsters and crayfishes like these. Tonight I will cook Mala baby lobster for dinner!"
Right now is the period between spring and summer, and the river was filled with an abundance of these lobsters and crayfishes. On the way to the river, they could catch a basket of these creatures.
These creatures like to bury themselves in the sand or mud. This is why most of the people in this world feel that these creatures are too dirty and hard to clean and harder to eat. Therefore very few people eat them.
But Shiyu was confident that once she cooked this dish, it will become a fine cuisine and a speciality of this town.
