บท 4: Stir-Fried Wild Vegetables With Oil (1)
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the kitchen, Chen Muxue didn't know that the original villain's cooking skills were so bad that the children were complaining about it. She only took a quick look at the condiments in the kitchen and was a little surprised.
She didn't expect the ancient times were so good. There were even chilies. Except for the lack of MSG, the seasonings were complete. It was probably because everyone could cultivate immortality, so it wasn't too difficult to go overseas.
And the original villain actually had such a complete set of seasonings, so her cooking skills should not be too bad!
After looking around, she didn't see any oil. She opened the big urn next to her, which stored things, and a cold air hit her face.
After taking a closer look, she realized that there was a large ice-blue gem embedded in the urn. Chen Muxue guessed that it was some kind of immortal stone that could turn an ordinary urn into a refrigerator.
There was only a pitiful bag of white flour and a small piece of fatty meat in the large urn.
Chen Muxue sighed and took out the fatty meat. She carefully cut off the skin, afraid that she would cut off a little more meat.
The rice in the clay pot was almost done steaming. She just had to take it down and let it cool for a while. Since there was no oil, Chen Muxue only added a little water to the iron pot to boil the meat to prevent the bottom from being burnt.
The disadvantage of adding water was that when the oil was boiled out, the scene would be a little "explosive".
After the crackling sounds died down and the oil stopped splashing, an alluring meaty fragrance wafted out.
At this moment, Xiaohua arrived at the kitchen door. When she smelled the meat fragrance, she felt a little incredulous. 'I haven't seen the sect master buy meat recently!'
In the past, Xiaohua thought of the boiled fatty meat she used to eat and couldn't help but stop.
Chen Muxue poured out the excess oil and kept it. She estimated that it could still be used to stir-fry two or three more vegetables. She had to buy some fatty oil to boil later.
As for the pitiful amount of oil residue, she put all of it in the pot. It was probably not enough for the children to eat.
Chen Muxue herself was a cultivator. Although she had not reached the level of being able to abstain from eating, or rather, she had not specifically practiced fasting, she would feel hungry. However, it would not be a big deal if she ate a little. Therefore, she was not as yellow and skinny as a child.
The garlic and bright red chili were put into the pot, and with a sizzling sound, a slightly spicy fragrance instantly spread out. It was spring now, and the wild vegetables were at their freshest and most tender. There was no need to blacken them, and it was very refreshing to stir-fry them directly.
The fragrance of the meat and wild vegetables mixed together, and it was delicious with just a little salt. The food cooked in the big iron pot was full of the smell of the dish. Just by smelling it, Xiaohua, who was sticking her head out at the door, was already drooling.
Although Xiaohua was young, she had some memories of when she was kidnapped. In her memory, the food at home was considered delicious, but the taste was light. They were all very beautiful. She had never smelled the fragrance of the dish the sect master was making today.
After placing the vegetables on a plate, Chen Muxue nodded in satisfaction. There was golden oil residue and one or two bright red chilies on the green wild vegetables.
No matter what, she was still the head chef of a highly praised private kitchen. She didn't expect that she could still use her own cooking skills after transmigrating.
"Achoo!"
Hearing the sneeze, Chen Muxue saw Xiaohua at the door. She served the dishes and smiled. "Xiaohua, are you hungry? It's time to eat."
Xiaohua looked at the vegetables in Chen Muxue's hands and swallowed her saliva. She did not forget the purpose of her visit. She reached out and pulled out the red string around her neck. Under the red string, a jade pendant suddenly burst out with a brilliant light when it saw the sun!
Chen Muxue was stunned. She quickly put down the vegetables and went forward to hold the jade pendant. She felt a very gentle and rich spiritual energy flowing in her palm.
"Sect Master, if we sell this, we can buy a lot of meat buns." Xiaohua did not understand why Chen Muxue was so flustered. "Mother said before she fell asleep that this is very, very precious. I know that precious things can be exchanged for a lot of money!"
Chen Muxue felt a little helpless. "Then, did your mother ever say that such a precious thing should be taken care of? Don't lose it."
Xiaohua thought for a while and frowned. "I didn't hear clearly. Mother fell asleep, and everyone was so noisy and chaotic. I was taken away, and then I fell asleep."
Chen Muxue was stunned. It seemed that Xiaohua did have some background. She guessed that the mother Xiaohua mentioned might have passed away.
It seems that Xiaohua's kidnapping also involved the dirty relationship between the big families.
In the book, Xiaohua was just an unimportant female supporting character. It was only because she had a relationship with the villain, Chen Muxue, that she could be considered a small boss. She had to take revenge for her. As for her background, the book did not say much.
Chen Muxue frowned. Even she could feel that this jade pendant was not an ordinary item. It was too dangerous to leave it with Xiaohua.
"Xiaohua, be good and leave this to the sect master for safekeeping. I'll return it to you when Xiaohua grows up, alright?" As Chen Muxue spoke, she reached out to take off the jade pendant.
However, the red string did not seem to be an ordinary item. When it sensed Chen Muxue's intention, it gave off a very powerful sense of danger.
Xiaohua nodded and reached out to take the jade pendant.
Chen Muxue's eyes flickered. When Xiaohua made a move, the threat from the red string disappeared instantly.
"Alright, let's go eat." Chen Muxue took the jade pendant and placed it on her chest. She thought that the sect should have some magical treasures to store things and would find a place to store them later.
In the dining hall, Dagui sniffled. "Do you guys smell something nice?"
Xiaohu's stomach grumbled unceremoniously, and his face immediately turned slightly red. "There seems to be meat."
"But even if the sect master is making meat buns…" Dagui thought of the meat buns the sect master had made in the past, and his interest disappeared in an instant.
They had also eaten delicious meat before, such as the meat buns that the sect master would bring from town. Before he was sold, his family would also eat meat during the new year, so he knew that meat could be delicious.
However, the boiled meat steamed buns that the sect master used to make were not that good…
Just as the little radishes were feeling uneasy, Chen Muxue came in with the dish in one hand and the clay pot in the other. Xiaohua was holding the bowl and chopsticks, looking very happy.
The sect master had just fed Xiaohua a piece of oil residue! It was a little crunchy and very fragrant! Although it was spicy, Xiaohua was still very happy.
When the other three children saw the dish in Chen Muxue's hands, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. 'This was made by the sect master? How did she do it?'
Not only was there a fragrance, but it was also oily, which made people hungry!
The stomachs of the three little turnips let them down and started growling.
When the dishes were placed in the middle of the table, the three children were still in disbelief.
"Why did you pinch me?" Dafu suddenly patted Dagui.
"Hehe, I'm just checking if I'm dreaming."
Xiaohu was the most shocked. He had grown up with the sect master and was already used to eating boiled vegetables. Now that he suddenly saw a plate of stir-fried vegetables, he didn't dare to recognize it.
