Chapter 638 Is there another dog outside?
A flock of crows crossed the horizon, marking the beginning of dawn.
The morning wind was chilly, and the sky had not yet fully lighted up.
The lights have come on in the treehouse's kitchen.
Zhang Shuhui's petite figure came and went in the house. Firewood was crackling in the kitchen stove. The water in the pot was boiling. The steam rose up, bringing out the fragrance of corn.
Jiang You just sat aside, listening to the sound of boiling in the pot.
She loved it, the process of waiting for the food to mature was reassuring.
That is the memory engraved in human genes, the memory of abundant food.
Zhang Shuhui lifted the lid of the basin and smiled happily, her eyes shining brightly.
"Sir, I kneaded the dough with corn flour and wheat flour last night, and it was just right overnight. These honeycomb holes are so beautiful!
If my mother knew that I could make dough better than her now, she would definitely cry, hahaha!
Let's eat corn tortillas in the morning, and I'll make some spicy soup and fry some deep-fried dough sticks, okay? "
She seemed to have endless energy when she woke up in the morning. When she spoke, she was smiling at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she had a kind of vitality that no one else had.
The yellow-orange dough was kneaded back and forth in her hands, constantly changing its shape.
Finally, it was neatly divided into evenly sized circles...
Then put them into the steamer one by one.
He also took a moment to put a few chestnuts into the stove, roast them and put them on a plate for Jiang You, "You can peel them for fun first, and you can eat them soon!"
Jiang You looked at her and suddenly asked, "Zhang Shuhui, do you want to go somewhere else?"
"where to?"
"There are many vacant positions in Tingfeng City. You can go wherever you want."
Zhang Shuhui paused while chopping potatoes, "Sir, are you tired of my cooking?"
Her voice was very soft, and there was an uneasiness in it that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"Of course not. I just think that you don't just need to be good at cooking. You have good knife skills and a good shooting. If you stay in the kitchen all day long, I'm afraid it will be wasted."
"No, I don't think it's a waste!"
Zhang Shuhui patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she was going to be deprived of her position as housekeeper.
"Master Leader, I like this kitchen. When Master Wu designed it, the kitchen cabinets, the height of the stove, and the display of everything were all based on my height and habits.
I also like the cabin, every time when I clean every corner carefully, when I cook a table full of food and everyone eats it up.
That feeling of satisfaction is more satisfying than killing 10,000 zombies in one go!
Everyone pursues different things. My ambition is to become an all-round housekeeper! "
[Are you kidding? In ancient times, although the chief internal officer was not an official with great power, his status was extraordinary!
Zhao Gao can call a deer a horse, and how many internal managers have a higher status than the first-rank officials of the current dynasty!
I, Zhang Shuhui, am not a fool. If I leave a well-behaved internal manager and run out to make my own way, isn't that a big deal on my head?
Besides, staying away from the treehouse means staying away from the leader, staying away from the leader means staying away from the center of power, and staying away from the center of power means that I may be forgotten.
It is easy to be forgotten, but it is not easy to be remembered again. 】
[The leader suddenly asked me this question, is there another dog outside? 】
[Or is it that the meals I have cooked recently are not innovative and have made everyone tired? No, it seems it’s time to do something serious. How about making dumplings filled with pickled puffin tomorrow?
This thing smells bad and gets worse when eaten, but when combined with Zhang's No. 1 Stinky Egg, it can bring out the smell to the extreme. Once you eat it, you can't refuse it at all. 】
She glanced at Jiang You calmly.
I saw her with her eyebrows lowered and she was carefully peeling the hot roasted chestnuts.
[The leader has a very strong taste, so he probably also likes dumplings stuffed with puffin fillings. After all, the old kidnapper and the others were completely conquered after eating it once...]
As Zhang Shuhui prepared, she kept muttering in her mind.
He didn't notice Jiang You's face getting darker and darker at all, and naturally he didn't notice Tudou appearing behind him at some point. His usually clear eyes were now glowing red.
He looked straight at Jiang You, and after confirming that she saw him, turned and left.
When she looked up again, there was no one where Jiang You was sitting, leaving only an empty chair and a few scattered chestnut shells on the small coffee table.
"Huh? What about people?"
…………
at the same time.
Jiang You has followed Hongyan to the dungeon.
She hasn't been down here for a long time. Tudou is very territorial and pays close attention to the dungeon.
He even dug out an independent three-bedroom and one-living room in the center of the dungeon. There was also a stone chair in the living room that he got from nowhere.
At this time, the stone chair was surrounded by various things that Jiang You had never seen before, as well as some strange plants.
These plants look like plants and animals.
All in all, it is more like a genetic fusion of animals and plants.
An already formed Polygonum multiflorum plant was lying on the ground twisting its limbs.
There are also jade butterflies that are swinging gently on the branches, looking like they are alive.
There's even a hedgehog-like creature with a back covered in various types of moss.
Jiang You originally just scanned it casually, but when he saw something, his eyes suddenly stopped.
It was a cordyceps-like creature, but the bugs at the roots were obviously still alive, and they were crawling on the ground step by step, dragging the grass on their backs.
This thing is exactly the same as the cordyceps in the Black Flame Prison of the High Priest.
Seeing this thing, Jiang You's suspicions were once again confirmed.
It seems that the power of the high priest is really likely to be related to the abyss.
She calmly withdrew her gaze, picked up a bug that looked a bit like a sandworm, but had a sharp breath in its mouth, and played with it.
"Father, these things look weird. Where did you get them?"
"Aren't you curious about what is in the abyss? These things are in there." Red Eyes replied lightly.
Jiang You's eyes were dim and unclear, but his tone was still relaxed, "I found the black river water you asked me to find before."
"I know, I can already smell it. You have the scent of Black River on your body."
Red Eyes turned around and spread his hands towards her.
Jiang You took out the wooden box from the backpack on his back and opened it. The sticky black flames inside instantly overflowed.
Drops of water flowed to the ground.
He smiled with red eyes, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be quite efficient. My father thought I would have to wait a few more days.
The Black River water is available, and other things are ready. Father can re-broaden your body's tolerance to fire at any time. "
The red-eyed voice was filled with laughter.
Jiang You teased the sandworm with his index finger, and brought his fingertips close to the mouth full of sharp teeth. Then the moment it opened its mouth, it suddenly retracted. The sandworm bit an empty space, and the densely packed teeth in its mouth were trembling with anger. .
This sandworm has no eyes, and its entire head is just a big mouth.
As soon as Jiang You took his fingers away, it lay down again.
He is ugly and fierce, but a little stupid.
