Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 278: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (5)

By the time Shi Qi finished carrying the dung bucket, he was exhausted and the injury on his waist seemed to have become more serious.

It was already mid-afternoon and already past mealtime.

Just as she expected, lunch was another dry and tasteless leftover biscuit, which was really hard to swallow.

For her, food is the motivation of the day. Especially delicious food, which can make people happy all day long. Although she is not an expert, she has seen and eaten a lot in so many worlds, and has studied food. Although she has not cooked much, her cooking skills are impressive.

Shi Qi touched her flat belly and decided to go to the kitchen and cook some food herself.

The kitchen yard is very large and is filled with all kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons. There is even a special area for raising chickens, ducks, pigs and fish.

Also, not all nuns are vegetarians...

The kitchen was fully equipped with a stove, iron oven and steamer. The cooks had already gone to bed at this time, so she had some quiet time to study the food.

When she saw the remaining tofu, green vegetables, lotus root, chicken, enoki mushrooms and other dishes on the table not far away, her eyes lit up.

Stew some vegetable and tofu soup, and have some fried vegetables and sesame seed buns, and you have lunch.

It’s easy to operate, simple and delicious.

Shi Qi was a man of action, and she immediately started to boil water in the earthen pot. She cut the enoki mushrooms, rolled them into pieces with bean curd, skewered them, and prepared the chicken, deep-fried it in hot oil until golden brown.

The knife skills were steady and fast, and the whole movement was smooth and natural while holding the big pot in one hand. After a while, the whole yard was filled with fragrance, which was quite lively in the cool autumn day.

Shi Qi went to the yard to pick some garlic, chopped it finely, and ground some pepper and chili powder to use as seasoning.

After a while, Shi Qi looked at the finished product on the plate and nodded with satisfaction.

The vegetable and tofu soup looks fresh and nutritious; the fried pancakes are golden, crispy and steaming.

Shi Qi came to the yard with lunch, basking in the sunshine and enjoying the healing taste of delicious food.

"Mm~ That's great."

She took a sip of the tofu soup first. It was as rich as she had imagined. The tofu melted in her mouth yet was chewy. The aroma of the chives blended perfectly with the soup, making it very delicious.

Taking another bite of this deep-fried sesame seed cake made with real ingredients, crispy and juicy, spicy and refreshing, Shi Qi suddenly felt a surge of energy in his body.

This is too...smells so good! The kids next door are crying when they see it!

As expected...you can only rely on yourself to achieve glory.

Because he was so happy, Shi Qi put down the pancake, squinted his eyes and shook his head, feeling very comfortable.

Suddenly, the back of her hand on the table felt hot, as if it was stained with some sticky liquid.

Shi Qi: No way, is it impossible to escape in this new world?

Bird, she really just wanted to have a good meal.

Shi Qi opened his eyes resignedly and was about to wipe the liquid off his hands, but he met the boy's big, watery eyes.

"Xiaojiu?"

Shi Qi looked at the boy's extremely eager eyes, then looked at his wet and drooling mouth, and then looked at the back of his hand just below Xiao Jiu's mouth.

The whole person...is not feeling well.

"Little... little master, what kind of dish is this? It smells so good, I've never seen it before." Xiaojiu wanted to get closer to smell the sesame cake, but was stopped by Shi Qi.

Just kidding, she really holds a grudge.

Last time he ran away, he made her do hard labor for a whole day. He was so unfair, she would never give him any food.

"Shaobing." Shi Qi said calmly, but he moved the bowl towards himself without making any expression.

"But...but this sesame cake is different from the one I eat. It smells so good and there are so many vegetables in it. Did you make it yourself?"

Shi Qi: “Yeah.”

"Can I...can I have a taste?" The little boy blinked his big eyes, looking at Shi Qi with admiration and desire. His little hands were supporting himself on the edge of the table, and because he was standing on tiptoe, his whole body was trembling, which was very adorable.

Shi Qi looked at the cute baby, hesitated for a second, and finally put a bite into his mouth.

It’s okay to starve others, but not her.

But Xiaojiu's little head kept following the movement of her cake, like a good little puppy, it was really... too cute.

Shi Qi put down the cake and compromised.

He wiped Xiaojiu's hands, cut off the part he had bitten, and brought a stool for Xiaojiu to sit on.

When Xiao Jiu was about to start, he remembered what he had taken and said softly, "Little Master, my brother said that if you do something wrong, you should apologize. Xiao Jiu wanted to bring you a chicken drumstick to apologize, but... another master said you might be in the kitchen, so I came over."

"I was too scared last time, and that master looked so fierce, so I just...ran away. My brother said you would be punished, so...so I'm sorry, little master."

After listening to this, Shi Qi felt a little warm in his heart.

The child was so innocent, she didn't care at first, but after hearing this explanation, her heart melted.

Chicken legs or something, it’s not important, what’s important is the thought behind it.

"This cake is for you to eat. I will make you whatever you want to eat in the future."

Bald: "That's not what you just said..."

Xiaojiu finally felt relieved, smiled sweetly, ate the cake in small bites, looked very satisfied, and seemed to be well-educated.

"Then...where are the chicken legs you brought?" Shi Qi asked after swallowing his saliva when he saw Xiaojiu eating happily.

As for an apology...gifts are still very important.

She was not a person who valued gifts. She just thought that accepting it meant that she forgave him, otherwise it would easily hurt the child's heart.

Xiaojiu was stunned, took two seconds to react, and pointed to the floor awkwardly.

"I... was just fascinated, and it... seemed to have fallen there."

Shi Qi followed the line of sight and saw a chicken leg covered with the fragrance of soil.

It’s not a big problem, you can still eat it after washing it.

So Shi Qi quickly cleaned the chicken legs, fried them a little, and sprinkled the remaining ingredients on them. It was still very satisfying.

In the yard, the fragrance attracted some birds, and a big and a small one sat in front of the table, feeling very comfortable.

When Lu Ziqi came in, he saw such a harmonious and warm picture.

As the two were eating happily, he leaned against the door and watched quietly.

This little nun...is she new here?

This should be the young master that this kid mentioned last time, right?

I guess the food is not good again, so he comes to eat secretly.

What's wrong with Xiaojiu? I clearly taught him not to eat anything given by others.

A gust of wind blew by, and the crabapple flowers in the yard danced in the wind. A few petals could not bear the weight and fell onto Shi Qi's forehead.

Shi Qi raised her eyes, gently brushed away the petals, and her eyes met the man's.

His hands paused slightly, and Shi Qi actually felt like he was caught cheating.

"Don't worry, young master. I'm not here to arrest you." The man was dressed in cloth. He had delicate features and a thin figure. He was not very tall. His voice was gentle and made people feel like spring breeze.

Nowadays, even the cooks are so handsome, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable and short of oxygen in front of him.

Shi Qi nodded, and without thinking any more, he continued to chew the chicken leg. But the little guy next to him was obviously stunned, and put down the pancake in his hand, rubbing his two greasy hands nervously.

"Brother Ziqi."

"I...I came to apologize to the young master."

Lu Ziqi smiled lightly, helplessly and dotingly said: "I see, Xiaojiu, then don't you thank the young master for the lunch?"

Xiao Jiu was very obedient. He turned around and bowed respectfully to Shi Qi: "Thank you, little master."

Shi Qi smiled: "It's okay."

"My last name is Lu Ziqi. I work here. If you need anything, you can come to the kitchen to find me anytime. Xiaojiu likes you very much." The man stepped forward and introduced himself in a gentle voice.

Luzi period?

Such a familiar name, where did it appear...?

Shi Qi thought of something and suddenly his mouth froze.
