Chapter 259: Space Projection
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Putting everything else aside, Xiaoxiao was very interested in this spatial projection function. [Baby, tell me in detail?]
The space replied: [Master, from today onwards, you can project a gourmet space of seven meters by seven meters in any area. This range can obtain the attribute function of the gourmet space, such as preservation and multiplication time. This function is a special function that can only be used once a day. The duration of use is unlimited and can be retracted at any time.] This was good. She did not need to change it again and again. She immediately used the projection function on the kitchen where the ingredients were placed. Now, she did not have to worry that the food would become stale too quickly in summer.
She could also make more without worry.
However, after finishing the milk tea and snacks that she was going to sell today, Xiaoxiao was a little bored. [Plant the seeds of the reward too.]
The space agreed and threw the seed into the water.
Xiaoxiao understood. This time, it was an aquatic plant.
She glanced at the uninteresting kitchen and started to daydream.
Little Big Brother should already be on his way. They weren’t far from the Imperial Capital, but it was still a journey of more than 10 days. Little Big Brother and the others were in a hurry and would probably speed up. However, there was an injured person with them, so he probably wouldn’t be that fast either. They would take at least seven to eight days to arrive.
She did not know if the meeting process was troublesome. Coupled with the unexpected delay, they would not see each other for at least 20 days. She stood up with a whoosh and decided that there was no time like the present. She would go to the Shen Family to teach her disciples today. Anyway, she did not have to worry about the freshness of the food. She could make more first.
Mrs. Shen welcomed Xiaoxiao’s arrival and quickly brought her to meet her chosen disciple.
The chef, who was dressed nimbly, looked down at Xiaoxiao, who was a head shorter than her, and the corners of her mouth twitched. “Greetings, Master.” Logically speaking, after learning her true ability, the two of them would be master and disciple from now on. It had nothing to do with age or background.
Xiaoxiao was playful. She brought a stool over and stepped on it to touch her head. “Hey, my good disciple, tell me, what do you want to learn today?” Her disciple’s name was FurongO. Xiaoxiao praised, “Is it the Hibiscus Flower?” She said, “Master, it’s that hibiscus of the hibiscus chicken slice.” Xiaoxiao:… She sounded like a good seedling to be a chef.
Mrs. Shen asked shyly, “Then, can you teach me how to make simple snacks too?”
Xiaoxiao was surprised. “Aunt Beauty, do you have to cook whatever you want to eat?”
Mrs. Shen tugged at her sleeve and said in a low voice, “I want to make something for my husband.”
Realization dawned on Xiaoxiao. Oh, this damn sour smell of love. She really wanted to teach Mrs. Shen how to make stinky tofu.
However, she held back because of her kindness.
In Xiaoxiao’s opinion, the easiest thing to make was biscuits, so today’s teaching content was happily decided.
What Xiaoxiao did not expect was that Mrs. Shen’s culinary skills were actually a black hole. After an afternoon of teaching, Furong had already learned the secret of baking biscuits and could do it alone. Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with this new disciple. On the other hand, Mrs. Shen was sighing at a pile of charcoal.
“Why can’t I learn it?”
Xiaoxiao also wanted to ask this question. How did she roast several furnaces of carbon at a fixed temperature with a fixed amount of ingredients?
Furong patted Xiaoxiao’s shoulder. “Master, don’t be surprised. You’ll get used to it.”
She said with some emotion, “To be honest, I came to the Shen Residence to teach Mrs. Shen how to cook. However, after teaching her for three months, she still couldn’t even make a bowl of edible noodles.”
Xiaoxiao said, “Then you’re quite patient.”
If it were her, she would most likely dissuade such a disciple.
Cooking did not necessarily depend on talent, but it was better to eat ready-made food when one was rich.
Furong crossed her arms and looked at the sky. Her tone was a little distant. “I have no choice. They gave me too much monthly salary.” Then, everyone was used to her cooking, so they simply let her stay in the Shen Residence as a cook. Even though she yearned for freedom and the vast rivers and mountains, compared to the money the Shen Family gave her, it seemed that those longings could be put aside first.
Xiaoxiao felt that her disciple was an interesting person.
Mrs. Shen said that the opening date of the elegant abode had already been set. It would be a good day at the beginning of next month. Coincidentally, the Ning Family’s rice harvest had also been finished. She wouldn’t be too busy. By then, she would be able to train Furong well.
Furong was a natural chef and was smart. Xiaoxiao had confidence in her, but it was hard to say about Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen was too lively and active when she cooked and often did unnecessary things. In less than three days, Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but chase her out of the kitchen.
The next day after the discussion with the Ning Family, County Magistrate Shen spread the news of the new rice seed. The officials who ignored him immediately came to Xijiang County and couldn’t wait to check the Ning Family’s rice field under the lead of the bailiffs.
All the lords smartly brought their agricultural officers with them. As soon as the professionals took action, they quickly confirmed that County Magistrate Shen was not exaggerating. The yield of this farmland was more than 400kg. They were all smart, especially since this matter was related to their political achievements.
The lords who were eager to get rice seeds immediately talked with County Magistrate Shen and wanted to get more seeds. County Magistrate Shen calmed them down neither servile nor overbearing. “But as you can see, these new rice seeds are delicate and can’t be planted casually. Have you dug the canal?”
The adults expressed that they would go back and dig immediately. They would start digging today! They would definitely dig well and quickly!
County Magistrate Shen smiled without saying anything. He didn’t promise anyone.
The smart people immediately turned their horses around and stood up overnight. They dug fiercely at the shore of the Dusk River. Their enthusiasm caused the water level in Fortune Village to clearly decrease in the next five to six days.
Under such an atmosphere, Xiaoxiao’s family entered the countdown to harvest.
At this moment, Rong Yan was driving a carriage towards the Imperial Capital with Yun Er, Yun San, Yun Wu, and a few trusted guards that he had carefully chosen.
In the carriage, Han Qing, who was still wrapped in bandages, was shouting impatiently, “How long will it take to reach the Imperial Capital with this turtle’s crawling speed? Why is a man sitting in a carriage? I’m fine. Let me ride a horse!”
Rong Yan had a headache from his argument, but he couldn’t leave him alone and leave first, so he could only persuade him nicely.
“Doctor Gongsun said that you have to stay in the carriage for three more days. Otherwise, you won’t have the strength to complain when you see the Emperor.”
Han Qing waved his hand confidently. “Impossible! I’m not a pale scholar like him. I was fine when I was stabbed 18 times!”
He was fine? As if!
Yun Er couldn’t help but interrupt. “If we didn’t meet our Miss Ning, it’s really hard to say what your current situation is, Mr. Han.”
Han Qing choked and fell silent for a moment. Then, he waved his bleeding arm. “Then I’m fine now, right? Going to the capital is very important. How can I have the time to dawdle? I’ll grit my teeth and endure this small injury. Quick, let me ride a horse!”
Rong Yan turned around and sighed. He handed him a water bag. “Drink some water first.”
Han Qing drank and was about to continue speaking impassionedly when his head tilted and he fell over.
