Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In Fortune Village, a remote village, they usually only find their elders and the village chief or junior officer to preside over the process when they split up. The government didn’t force them to report it, and it was the same when the eldest branch was separated from the old residence. The villagers didn’t think anything was wrong with this because very few people went back on their word. Furthermore, the commoners always had a natural fear of the government and felt it was better not to go if they could.

However, Xiaoxiao, who came from a modern society ruled by law, did not think so. Very little did not mean that it did not exist. Without laws and regulations, she had no confidence in the integrity of the people from the old residence.

Ning Erlang took a deep breath. His mood, which had become cheerful because he was earning money, quickly fell. “Dad is also a fool. I’ve seen him help the old residence several times after he was done with the seedlings on our land. When Father saw the money in my hand just now, I worried he would send it to the old residence.”

Xiaoxiao glanced at the remaining half a basket of eggs in the kitchen bamboo basket and started grinding her teeth. “Second Brother, go and ask the neighbor if they have started to cook.”

When Ning Erlang arrived, Yun Yi and the others didn’t know to tell him whether they had eaten or not, so they all turned to look at Rong Yan, who was holding a book.

Ning Erlang said happily, “My sister just developed a new dish. It’s delicious!” Yun Yi glanced at his master’s expression and asked boldly, “Just developed it?” Ning Erlang misunderstood what he meant and thought they worried about the taste, so he patted his chest. “Don’t worry, someone has already tried it just now. The taste… Well, in my sister’s words, it tastes good!”

Tried?

Rong Yan, who caught the keyword again, turned around and said calmly, “There’s no doubt about Miss Ning’s cooking skills.”

Yun Yi saw that his master was no longer cold and felt relieved. “Then we’re in for a delicious meal. Master was engrossed in reading just now, and we haven’t cooked yet.” He immediately signaled his brothers, who were close to him, to put out the fire in the stove and carry a basket of eggs and a piece of meat.

Ning Erlang felt that this neighbor was good, but thinking of what had happened at the old residence, he asked, “Can I come back to take it tomorrow when my sister cooks?”

Rong Yan immediately understood his concerns and naturally agreed.

He stood up and put down the book he had not flipped through. He cupped his hands at him. “Thank you for your hospitality.”

When Rong Yan arrived at the Ning residence, the fried rice was ready. There were vegetables in the fried rice, mushrooms, prawns, and carrots that were also cut into pieces. The colors of green, red, orange, and white alternated, making it look beautiful. Ning Erlang exclaimed, “Wow, there are more ingredients in this bowl than before!”

Xiaoxiao sighed. That’s right. She had put in all the extra ingredients and did not plan to leave a single dish for the people from the old residence. Everyone was filled with a big bowl. She did not know if the young master could eat it.

She looked at Rong Yan’s small body and reminded him considerately, “1 overdid it in a moment of excitement. If you can’t eat, don’t force yourself.”

Rong Yan felt that the gloominess he felt just now had dissipated, and his heart was warmed by the word “excited”. It was just cooking for him, so why was he so happy? He would just eat it.

Now that everyone was here, Xiaoxiao turned around and poured the egg into the pot. The light yellow egg liquid quickly condensed. Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to scoop up the egg when it was the softest and cover it over the fried rice. She thoughtfully wrapped the corners into a semicircle and poured the secret sauce.

Ning Erlang asked curiously, “Why is this omelet rice wrapped into a ball?”

Of course, Xiaoxiao couldn’t say it was because there were too many ingredients, and it would leak if she didn’t wrap it up. She chose her words carefully. “Because this way, the person who eats it will be perfectly happy.” The golden egg was still steaming hot. He used a spoon to dig out a piece of it. The rice covered in the sauce was rich in color and made people happy. Rong Yan ate the omelet rice, almost equivalent to two acre’s worth of rice, one bite at a time.

The guards couldn’t stop eating. Xiaoxiao looked at their clean bowls, and the sense of accomplishment in her heart surged. When Ning Erlang said they had prepared ingredients, she was even more delighted.

When Rong Yan returned to his house, he was smiling.

He told the guards that he was going to take an afternoon nap. After entering the room, he lay on the bed and rubbed his stomach. As he rubbed, he smiled..
