Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone had a clear division of labor. Some took the money to exchange for some vegetables and rice with the nearby commoners, some were in charge of gathering firewood and setting up the stove, and some went to the stream to fish. Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan took the initiative to take on the responsibility of hunting.
Rong Yan said that he took on this job because he had learned it from the hunter family when he was in Fortune Village. Yun Er and Yun San pursed their lips and did not expose that he simply wanted to be with Miss Xiaoxiao. He wanted the two of them to stick together for a while and everyone would have delicious food. They pretended not to know and specially kept a distance from Xiaoxiao and him when they went hunting.
They had really sacrificed a lot for Master’s love.
“Sigh, but Yun San, don’t you think that our Master has really improved at lightning speed after his first awakening of love?”
“That’s right. He clearly has no experience in interacting with girls, but he became at ease with Miss Xiaoxiao not long after.”
Perhaps it was an exaggeration to say that they were at ease, but wasn’t the inexplicable relationship and tacit understanding between the two of them a little too much?
Did he not consider the feelings of bachelors like them at all?
After leaving Yun Er and Yun San’s line of sight, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan looked at each other and smiled. Under the tacit agreement of the two of them, they disappeared.
“Little Big Brother, what delicious dishes do you want to add for everyone today?”
“I’m a little tired of eating pork. Why don’t I exchange it for a few pheasants?”
“But before that, I’ll make you something delicious.”
No matter what Xiaoxiao said, Rong Yan would agree. Hence, Xiaoxiao set the speed of 49 times slower in the space. With the enhancement of such a bug, Rong Yan practiced his sword for a while and read the military books that were not suitable to be brought out. Then, he started to cook the prawns with Xiaoxiao.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaoxiao exchanged for the number of prawns she needed in the space and started to deal with the live prawns. It was necessary to open the back and remove the shrimp vein. At this step, Rong Yan took the initiative to help. He could not help with cooking, but his knife skills were quite outstanding. Xiaoxiao saw his slender fingers fly and the open-backed prawns lay beside her hand for use.
The rice that had been soaked for a long time was already plump. Xiaoxiao placed a spoonful of rice on the back of each prawn and placed the prawn steak into a steamer to steam. This way, the rice absorbed the fragrance of the prawn meat and was already abnormally delicious.
She cut some cucumbers, carrots, and white mushrooms produced by the space and cracked the eggs.
She could not waste the prawns that had been steamed with rice. She cut them into small cubes and combined them with other ingredients to make a bowl of fried rice that looked, smelled, and tasted good.
Ever since the space was declared, Rong Yan’s food standards had increased exponentially in private. However, there were two sides to everything. Now, he had less appetite when eating outside. He was getting more and more picky with his food.
The space was secretly laughing at Xiaoxiao: [Master, are you raising the male master until no one can feed him except you? The male master won’t be able to eat the food cooked by the imperial chef in the future, right? Is this the legendary saying that if you want to conquer a man’s heart, you have to conquer his stomach first?]
Although Rong Yan’s taste was a little picky, he was very restrained when it came to eating. He stopped eating when he was 70% full. This was already Xiaoxiao’s cooking. He would eat even less if it was anything else.
Hence, even though Xiaoxiao had specially given him extra food and nutrition along the way, Rong Yan still maintained his lean figure. Because of his height increase, he looked thinner than when he was in the capital.
In response, Chernan secretly complained to his subordinates as he stuffed large mouthfuls of meat into his mouth. “This is a ruse of self-injury. He deliberately made himself look haggard to let the Emperor feel his hardship. This way, he will be rewarded more when the time comes. In the past, Chercha also liked to use this move. Tsk, this kind of sissy act of pretending to be weak is what I look down on the most!”
When Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan came out of the space, they indeed had a few pheasants in their hands. In order to increase the authenticity, they specially let go of the pheasants before shooting and hunting them.
Some of these pheasants became chicken soup, and some became chicken stewed with mushrooms. If it weren’t for the fact that they had controlled the quantity for Chernan, he might have eaten them all alone.
Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ran, and the others said, “If anyone asks me about my impression of the Princes of Xiongnu in the future, I’ll have something to say— They eat more than pigs!”
Xiao Ran agreed deeply. Then, she suppressed her desire to eat more and got up to move.
According to her husband’s request, she could not do strenuous exercise immediately after eating, so she participated in… or rather, disrupted the fishing activities of the others. After spending an hour, she immediately couldn’t wait to drag Rong Yan, who was still drinking tea, to a fight.
This kid was really strange. He was racing against time at the border and led a sloppy life. He did not complain about being tired. Seeing that he was about to return to the Imperial Capital, he turned back into the unhurried young master from before in the blink of an eye. He ate slowly and even brewed a pot of tea to drink when he was free.
To be honest, she was originally very worried that this child would not be able to walk out of the shadow of life and death on the battlefield and his personality would change drastically. Back then, even though she was in a military family, she vomited for many days when she first entered the battlefield. For a long time, she was woken up by nightmares almost every night.
As someone who had been through this before, she had already prepared words of comfort and persuasion. She wanted to coax this young man who was forced to see death and blood on his hands when he was only in his teens. Unexpectedly, before she could say those words, she saw Rong Yan adjust himself very quickly.
She was both gratified and heartbroken to see him like this.
It was said that children who did not have a mother to dote on them would mature early—because no one else cared about them, they could only coax themselves and dote on themselves.
Sigh.
Pushing away the sword in Rong Yan’s hand with a spear, the pain in Xiao Ran’s chest gradually turned into dissatisfaction. She put down the spear. “Brat, why don’t you use your Azure Frost Sword? Are you looking down on your Aunt Xiao?”
Rong Yan put away his sword in amusement. “How would I dare? But Aunt Xiao, it’s not like you don’t know that my sword is too sharp. This isn’t a battlefield, and we’re not enemies. Wouldn’t it be a pity to break a spear for nothing?”
Xiao Ran touched her chin. “That makes sense.”
“But I’m not happy if you don’t do your best.”
Rong Yan’s sword techniques improved at a godly speed. He seemed to have an aura of years in just a month. Seeing him, she felt an itch and wanted to fight to her heart’s content.
“Don’t hold back. You know my weapons. They were damaged quickly, so I prepared a lot. We’re about to return to the capital, and Xiongnu’s iron ore will be delivered soon. When the time comes, your father won’t be reluctant to give me a few more spears. Don’t worry and come.”
Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and laughed at the side. When she closed her eyes to rest, she secretly glanced at the Space Mall.
[Rising Sun Spear. Points required: 100,000.]
Generally speaking, as a gourmet space, there would not be any goods unrelated to food in the Space Mall. She remembered that such an exception had only appeared twice. The first time was when she wanted to exchange weapons for Rong Yan, and the second time was now.
[Baby, I suspect that you’re opening a back door for Little Big Brother and my mother..]
