Chapter 60: Bliss
“The most delicious foods...” Jiang Xiaorou looked at Yi Yun in a daze. In the dark night, her eyes were sparkling.
She felt that everything that happened that night was like a dream.
“Sis Xiaorou, you just have to wait to eat.” Yi Yun began to focus. He had prepared uncountable number of als in his life, but he had never focused as much effort as this one al!
Yi Yun had received an entire set of cooking apparatus and condints from old man Su. He had even obtained so of the vintage wine. It was sufficient for him to fully express his culinary skills.
Water was added to the pot with the processed ingredients, together with the at, seasoning, flavoring, soup stock ,oil....
Yi Yun was ticulous in his every step.
And he did many dishes simultaneously. As he a dish was being cooked, he was already preparing another.
The cutting board was a cleaned tree stump. The knife also ca from old man Su.
After obtaining a Tempered Body, Yi Yun’s strength increased. His knife work was superb. The ingredients were cut as thin as the wings of dragonflies and his speed was unrelenting.
By the side, using the fire’s illumination, Jiang Xiaorou was stunned by Yi Yun’s knife work.
When did her brother beco so powerful?
In order for Jiang Xiaorou to eat a good al, Yi Yun had made a few dishes that needed complex steps. Even on Earth, these dishes needed Yi Yun’s care and attention as it required many steps, and he was not a professional chef. A mistake or two would make the dish lose its perfection.
But now, with Yi Yun reaching the ridians realm, his brain’s channels had been cleared and energy entered his brain making his thinking sharp. So he was able to do three dishes simultaneously without missing a beat in the steps needed for each dish.
With one dish done, it was ladled out, and another dish was prepared. It was all done with clockwork.
And Jiang Xiaorou had already completely froze. The aromas that attacked her nostrils opened up her appetite.
Jiang Xiaorou seldom saw a few pieces of bacon, so when could she have the chance to see such top class cuisine?
Yi Yun’s dishes were all made of the best desolate at. From old man Su’s stature and gluttony, he would not keep anything less than desolate at. And even among the desolate at, only the finest were kept.
Besides, the various condints old man Su had left behind were all expensive items. So Yi Yun was able to fully express his skills, and finishing dish after dish.
Jiang Xiaorou looked at the delicacies that lined the tree stump. It felt like she was in a dream.
Was all this real?
Just a while ago, she was worrying over food and their future, but now, she was faced with a table of delicacies. Was all these made by her brother? Could she really eat all the food?
“Sis Xiaorou, quickly eat it. The wind is cold. The food will cool down soon.”
Yi Yun took a bowl of stead at that was as clear as crystal and said, “This is called stead pork belly, Sis Xiaorou try it.”
On Earth, normal pork belly tasted great when made into stead pork belly, but using desolate at for stead pork belly made it even better.
Yi Yun picked a piece of stead pork belly and served it to Jiang Xiaorou’s lips.
It was always her feeding Yi Yun, but today, the roles were reversed. Jiang Xiaorou was not used to it and her face turned red as she opened her mouth to take a small bite. The mont the at entered her mouth, it lted into an aromatic and delicious flavor. It was not greasy and with the faint flavor of rice, it was extrely morable.
Jiang Xiaorou could not believe that there was sothing that delicious in this world.
People who have been starving for extended periods of ti would find a bowl of soup noodles a delicacy, what’s more, this dish could rival even the best dishes on Earth with the excellent desolate at.
Jiang Xiaorou felt as if her tongue could no longer move. It was too delicious. The taste was sothing she had never tried before, nor had she ever thought about it.
When she was young, Jiang Xiaorou ca from a wealthy family but she was still young then. She was only obsessed with snacks and did not learn to appreciate food. Having only interest in sweets and having never starved, she never knew that fish and at was that delicious.
“Hongshao Rou, salt-baked chicken, scalded vegetables, desolate bone vegetable soup!” Yi Yun introduced his dishes one by one. Old man Su had left behind so vegetables, so he had fried it with so at.
China’s traditional cuisine with the ingredients from the strange world made the taste even better. Even picky as he was with his food, the glutton Yi Yun felt it was perfect.
Jiang Xiaorou ate it so fast that she almost swallowed her tongue. Eating such a al was the sa as a dream.
And the dishes would give a strong warm feeling when it entered the stomach. This warmth spread throughout their bodies giving them extre comfort!
This was the desolate at reforming their bodies.
Desolate at was sothing the poor in the vast wilderness could rarely eat. If they could eat it daily, their bodies would be strong and would not succumb to illnesses!
Even the vegetables left behind by old man Su was sothing good for the body, and normal people would never have the chance to eat it.
The siblings ate ravenously and in fifteen minutes, they had swept away the delicacies on the tree stump like a typhoon.
It was hard to believe that Jiang Xiaorou was just a while ago desperate, hungry and cold and filled with despair, but in a short period of ti, she was full from eating. And with the energy within the food, she felt warm.
Only after experiencing hunger would one know that delicacies were such blissful objects.
At this ti, Yi Yun had already began constructing the tree house.
With his Tempered Body, Yi Yun had great strength, so it was simple for him to build tree house.
“Yun-er, what had happened the past few days?” Jiang Xiaorou saw Yi Yun busying himself, and felt like she was still in a dreamy hallucination.
The events of the past hour were too amazing.
“Oh, I t an unscrupulous man by the surna of Su. He saw that my constitution was surprisingly good and gave so pointers. He also gave so good items. It’s roughly that. Sis Xiaorou, don’t worry. I’m different from the past. In the future, your life will only get better and better.”
The tree house was completed, but it was cold and moist in the mountains, so sleeping in the tree house would be too cold.
Although there was a fire nearby, and it was warm, it needed constant attention for it could not burn throughout the night, so they would still be cold.
Seeing Jiang Xiaorou rubbing her ears occasionally, Yi Yun smiled and descended from the tree house. In a short while, he brought up the Chi Lin head.
The Chi Lin had a rich amount of fire-elental energy. Placing the head in the tree house was like having a small heating stove. In a short ti, the tree house had ward up.
Yi Yun had brought in too many surprises this night, so Jiang Xiaorou decided against asking.
Although she had to lie down on the tree house’s wooden planks, she had never felt more secure than today.
Having eaten a al, quenched her thirst, having a warm ho and with Yi Yun by her side. What other thing in this world was more blissful than this?
“Yun-er, I’m so afraid this is all a dream...”
Jiang Xiaorou felt that everything was unreal. She feared sleeping, afraid that if she closed her eyes and opened them, she will find herself in that cold empty house with nothing but dirty cow dung, and the bad news of Yi Yun having died from an illness...
“It’s not a dream. Sis just sleep, I’ll protect you.” Yi Yun sat on a log bed beside her and held Jiang Xiaorou’s hand.
After feeling the heat from Yi Yun’s palm, Jiang Xiaorou obtained a peace of mind.
This warm touch allowed the tiredness to overwhelm her. Although she was unwilling to sleep, slowly she lost consciousness and fell asleep. This day, she had first learned of Yi Yun’s death, and then besieged by the villagers. She had been terribly frightened and her emotions were marked by big ups and downs, so she was totally exhausted.
Jiang Xiaorou entered dreamland and a blissful smile appeared on the corners of her mouth...
