Xue Fanxin cleaned up and went to the other room. Then, she took out all kinds of kitchenware and cutlery from her space. There was even a simple stove, and there was no lack of exquisite tables and chairs. Once these things were taken out, the medium-sized room was immediately filled.
Seeing the pots and pans, Little Lei was over the moon. He came over happily and asked, “Sister, are you going to cook a feast for us now?”
“That’s right! The wind outside won’t stop for a while. I have nothing to do, and everyone is hungry. Why don’t we get a delicious meal? Come, come, don’t just stand there; help me with the work. Tidy up the room a bit. Move the beds aside for now. You can place them back after you’re full.”
As soon as Xue Fanxin spoke, everyone got busy and did as she instructed.
Ah Wei also wanted to help, but he was stopped by Xue Fanxin. “Your arm is still injured, so don’t move. Sit there obediently and wait for dinner.”
“How can I do that?” Ah Wei said embarrassedly. After all, even his master had started working. How could he, a subordinate, not do anything?
“Why not? You’re injured. The injured get preferential treatment.”
Gu Jinyuan knew what Ah Wei was thinking, so he gave him an order. “Go rest at the side. There’s not much to do anyway. There are so many people here, so I don’t need you.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Ah Wei obediently sat by the side and watched Xue Fanxin take out a lot of ingredients from her storage bag. All kinds of fresh meat, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar made his eyes widen. He kept swallowing his saliva, and his stomach growled.
It was not only Ah Wei, but even Gu Jinyuan was the same.
As the Young Master of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, he had led a luxurious life since he was young. He had enjoyed his fair share of delicacies. When had he ever felt that these foods were so enticing? At this moment, just looking at them made him want to eat them.
The dignified Young Master of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company had actually almost starved to death.
Because of this incident, whenever Gu Jinyuan went out in the future, he would bring a lot of food with him. He would learn from Xue Fanxin. Not only did he bring food, but he also brought kitchenware and cutlery. Furthermore, after he returned and practiced his culinary skills, the future Master Chef was born here.
Under Xue Fanxin’s lead, everyone apart from Ah Wei got busy. They washed the vegetables, cleaned the dishes, set up tables and chairs, placed the bowls and chopsticks, carried the dishes, poured water, started a fire, and so on. It seemed like an ordinary thing, but everyone felt happy and energetic. Even Little Lei was arguing about doing something. The little youth kept following behind Xue Fanxin and asking questions, most of them about the dishes and food.
“Girl, why did you make so many radishes and tofu? I want to eat meat; there’s so much meat. Are you going to make that rabbit meat hotpot or not?”
“I’m preparing the ingredients for the hotpot! Besides meat, you also need some green vegetables and tofu… In short, you’ll know in a while.” Xue Fanxin placed the sliced radish on a plate and stuffed it directly to Little Lei. “Bring this to the table.”
Little Lei looked at the pile of carrots on the plate and lost interest, but he still obediently placed it on the table. Then, he returned and kept wandering around Xue Fanxin.
Zhuri and Fuyun, who were standing by the side, were watching the fire. They were not using ordinary fire to cook rice and stew but spirit flames that they had condensed. They had to control the fire well, or else even the pot would rot. Therefore, they had been very careful from the beginning, worried that if they lost concentration, the rice and soup would be ruined.
“Your Highness, the spirit fire is not an ordinary fire. Will it harm this pot?” Zhuri asked weakly.
Little Lei rolled his eyes and ridiculed, “Idiot, this is not an ordinary pot. Forget about your insignificant spirit fire, even special flames can’t harm this pot. You can be at ease.”
“That powerful? What kind of pot is this?”
“You want to know?” Little Lei asked with a naughty smile.
Zhuri nodded honestly. “Yes.”
In the end…
Little Lei roared with laughter. “I won’t tell you.”
This boy was a clown. The atmosphere at the scene was already lively, but with his actions, it became even more animated. Everyone laughed constantly. Their bodies and minds were fully relaxed. They liked this happy moment very much.
