Chapter 203: Can She Take A Fancy With Another Man?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If it were a month ago, if someone told Yun Yi and the others that their master would do such a thing personally, they would probably laugh at them. But now, this unbelievable thing had really happened, and their master had done it well.
The chicks that Xiaoxiao had pestered her brothers to buy back then had already grown up and weighed one kilogram. If not for her brothers and parents strongly stopping her, she actually wanted to give every chicken a name that belonged to them, such as Braised, Steamed, and Dry-Fried…
She felt that these names were intimate and practical, but her brothers insisted that if they called them that, the chicks might be frightened to death.
When she came out of the kitchen, she saw the handsome Little Big Brother calmly roll up his sleeves and sprinkle feed into the chicken coop. Then, she saw those chicks swarming towards him. She suddenly felt warm and satisfied.
In the future, when she became rich, wouldn’t it be beautiful to find a good-looking husband, and have chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, cats, dogs, and children?
Noticing her gaze, Rong Yan turned around. Xiaoxiao was bewitched by his handsome face against the light for a moment. She was suddenly a little worried about her choice of a partner. She was used to seeing Little Big Brother’s heaven-defying looks. Would she still like other men in the future?
As her thoughts strayed, she forgot about returning the silver again.
Hearing her sigh, Rong Yan turned around in confusion. Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and said in a half teasing and half serious tone, “So even they know how to differentiate beauty and ugliness. When good-looking people come, they will line up obediently and wait to be fed.”
Rong Yan’s face heated up slightly. He twisted his gaze, clenched his fists, and coughed lightly. “If you didn’t shout braised and steamed chicken, they definitely wouldn’t have avoided you.”
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, but soon smiled again. “Little Big Brother, are you praising me indirectly for being good-looking?”
She thought that Little Big Brother would blush and be shy again. Unexpectedly, his gaze was fixed elsewhere. The corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said softly, “Mm.”
Xiaoxiao: /(//?/Mfy
This didn’t make sense! She was a mature girl with more than 30 years of additional experience points. How could she be flirted with by a brat?
After not hearing her response for a long time, Rong Yan turned back in confusion and saw the girl puffing up her face, which was unusually red.
“I-I’ll go see what’s in the oven.”
She didn’t know how gently Rong Yan was smiling behind her.
So this girl could be shy too?
They didn’t know that Ning Ansheng, who happened to come out of the house, clenched his fists unconsciously when he saw this scene.
Xiaoxiao had just flipped the vegetables in the pot and was walking towards the oven when she heard footsteps at the door. She turned around and smiled. When she saw who it was, she was stunned before asking, “Big Brother?”
Ning Ansheng didn’t ask her who she thought he was. He only said, “Is there anything I can help with?”
Xiaoxiao smiled at him. “Have you written the plaque for my shop?”
Ning Ansheng sighed. “I already said that my handwriting doesn’t look good. Why didn’t you let… someone else write such an important thing?”
Xiaoxiao said firmly, “It’s precisely because it’s important that I have to let Big Brother write it. You’re my best Big Brother!”
The little bad girl coaxed him to be the “best big brother”, her second brother to be the “best second brother”, and her parents to be the “best parents”. In short, no one was left behind. Everyone was so happy that they could not find their way around. They even felt that they were the first in her heart.
Although he could see it clearly, he was not immune to it. For the sake of that plaque, he had been practicing calligraphy at home for a few days. Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, his heart could not help but warm. “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you.”
He took out the words “So It’s You” that he had only written on the paper after he was satisfied. He said uncertainly, “Take a look.”
Xiaoxiao only glanced at him and gave him a thumbs up. “As expected of my brother. It’s exactly what I want!”
Today was also a day where he was all smiles after being coaxed by his sister. Ning Ansheng took a shallow breath and gave up resisting. He only tapped Xiaoxiao’s smooth forehead gently. “You.”
Ning Ansheng was already familiar with the kitchen. He didn’t have some men’s habit of staying away from the kitchen. He washed the dishes and pots even more nimbly than Xiaoxiao did herself. When everything was safe and orderly, the fresh fragrance in the oven was just right. Xiaoxiao put on her homemade insulation gloves and took out her new work on an iron plate. She put one into her space while she was turning around.
[Ding! The delicacy “Rice Cracker” has been successfully recorded for the first time. After testing, it has been determined that this delicacy’s usage of ingredients is unique in this time and space. Reward: 1,000 points. Current total points are 26,550.]
From the looks of it, the next upgrade did not seem to be so far away.
The dried prawns were chopped and mixed with the rice. They were kneaded and flattened into thin slices. Then, they were cut into rectangles the size of two fingers. They were brushed with a secret sauce, smeared with a layer of butter, and baked in the oven. As long as the time and temperature were controlled well, the rice crackers would not fail.
Xiaoxiao had always felt that these snacks from the west were much easier to make than traditional Chinese snacks. As long as the ratio was fixed, it was difficult to make a mistake.
However, this was very suitable for the current situation at home. Xiaoxiao stuffed one into her brother’s mouth and said, “When I’m not at home later, Father and Mother will definitely make do with eating. They might take the steamed buns to the fields to deal with lunch when they find it troublesome. I’ll study more snacks that can last and make some every day so that Father and Mother can eat them easily at any time.”
“How about this? I’ll bring Mianmian Cake today and Taro Cake Roll tomorrow. Then, I’ll change it to sponge cake and rice crackers. You can eat them every day. You won’t be bored with rich flavors.”
With such a sister who was thinking for her family, it was difficult for Ning Ansheng not to smile. Hence, even though the academy had many unknown and unfriendly gazes, he was not afraid.
Under such a mood, time quietly passed. The canal of Fortune Village gradually perfected, leaving only a little aftercare and strengthening. With the canal to ensure the water supply, the nervous refugees began to settle down in peace. They went to the county office to register for the reclamation one by one. Fortune Village became unprecedentedly lively.
Xiaoxiao’s “So It’s You” was already prepared. Xiaoxiao had already explained the things to take note of when opening the shop and making the milk tea. She also guided them to mix and fill the cups independently. Everyone found it novel and interesting, but they were also filled with a sense of accomplishment.
In private, the Yun guards even praised Xiaoxiao’s open-mindedness. Although they thought that they were open and aboveboard and were not despicable people who coveted other people’s secret recipes, Miss Ning did not know that. In Miss Ning’s eyes, they should be as poor and desperate as those refugees, but she still had no intention of guarding against them.
Hehe, she really treated them as family.
Rong Yan’s expression did not change when he happened to hear them talking. He did not mention that he had exposed his family background by giving her the banknotes..
