A Lively Atmosphere, See You Tomorrow, Junior Brother

Upon hearing Xu Changqing's voice, everyone gathered around the dining table.

Three plates of cold dishes.

One dish is tomatoes mixed with white sugar.

One dish is cold watermelon rind salad.

One dish is smashed cucumber.

Crushed white sugar sprinkled on red tomatoes, combined with juice that resembles sugar syrup, makes even a simple cold dish look delicious.

Watermelon rinds, which are often disliked, are seasoned with slightly salty soy sauce, which not only preserves the crispness of the flesh but also adds a richer color.

The cucumbers are first chilled in slightly cold spring water, then crushed with the back of a knife to loosen their shape. A little minced garlic, a little chili oil, and a little aged vinegar are then added, creating a flavor that is sour and spicy with a sweet aftertaste, making it very appetizing.

Next came six hot dishes: [Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes], [Pork Belly with Garlic Sauce], [Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs], [Braised Pork Belly with Secret Recipe], [Winter Melon and Pork Rib Soup], and [Steamed Red-lipped Fish].

Every dish was visually appealing and had an enticing aroma.

For rice, I cooked a pot of lean meat porridge and steamed some Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice.

The drinks are the same as always, with unlimited supply of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine.

Actually, these are just everyday dishes. Since Xu Changqing transmigrated to this world of cultivation, his biggest hobby besides farming has been researching food, so his cooking skills have become increasingly proficient.

"Wow!"

Bai Ling'er's eyes widened, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth, making the maid extremely hungry.

Bai Zhuer looked on incredulously. "I've never seen so many of these dishes before!"

Looking at the table laden with delicious food, Zhang Xue's heart began to race. She murmured, "Isn't this exactly the scene I've always dreamed of?"

Li Sancai gave a bitter smile, "It seems that my cooking skills are indeed... questionable."

Zhang Su gave him another thumbs up and couldn't help but praise, "Junior Brother Xu, you're amazing!"

Although Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue had already witnessed Xu Changqing's culinary skills, they were still speechless upon seeing such a sumptuous dinner, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Xu Changqing wiped his hands clean with a cloth, then said with some regret, "It's a pity that the preparations weren't sufficient and it was a bit rushed, otherwise we could have made more delicious food."

Bai Ling'er quickly replied, "It's already very good!"

Zhang Su nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes!"

Xu Changqing smiled slightly upon hearing this, then pointed to the food on the table and said, "Then everyone, please don't be shy, let's eat!"

Immediately, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

Upon tasting it, they were immediately amazed, finding it to be Celestial Person.

Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, the sweet and sour sauce coating the golden and fluffy scrambled eggs, is both appetizing and perfect with rice.

White meat itself doesn't have much flavor, but after adding garlic sauce, it seems to gain a soul. The fat is smooth and the lean meat is tender and juicy, making it more and more addictive.

The sweet and sour pork ribs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated with a layer of translucent sweet and sour sauce. Each bite offers a crispy and sweet caramelized flavor, along with a slightly sour taste of vinegar. Bai Ling'er couldn't help but lick her fingers after finishing the ribs.

The braised pork belly, made with a secret recipe, is rich and dark in flavor, its shape slightly wobbly, yet not greasy, tender and flavorful.

Winter melon and pork rib soup has a clear broth, with the melon flesh almost transparent, and a light, slightly sweet taste.

Steamed red snapper has snow-white, tender flesh with no fishy smell, retaining its original flavor.

Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Xu Changqing felt very satisfied.

Immediately, he picked up the Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine and personally poured everyone a full cup.

"Cheers!"

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and picked up their wine glasses.

Bai Zhuer glared at her younger sister. "You can't drink alcohol yet."

Xu Changqing waved his hand. "It's alright, the alcohol content isn't high, and it tastes sweet and sour."

"Hehe." Bai Ling'er grinned and immediately took a bite; it was indeed sweet and sour.

The wine was good, and the food was good.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

From dusk until midnight, which is 11 p. m.

As it was getting late, everyone reluctantly got up to say goodbye.

Zhang Su summoned her Riding Butterfly: "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Junior Brother Xu."

Bai Zhuer wiped the oil off her sister's face. "Let's go back."

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue walked together, saying, "We won't disturb you any longer."

After much deliberation, Li Sancai finally managed to utter three words: "See you tomorrow!"

Zhang Xue stayed behind, staring intently at Xu Changqing. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. A hint of regret lingered in her eyes before she left with the Bai Clan sisters.

Xu Changqing bowed in the direction the group had left, saying, "Goodbye everyone, thank you for your company!"

The once lively wooden house was soon left with only one person, one dog, and one chicken.

From bustling to deserted, it only takes a moment.

Xu Changqing washed the dishes and tidied up the trash. Then he took a bottle of Supreme-Grade Yellow Rice Wine and went outside. But this time, instead of sitting at the door, he jumped up and onto the roof.

He lay there, gazing at the stars and the full moon in the night sky, feeling the quietude after the hustle and bustle, murmuring, "Raising a cup to invite the bright moon, let's drink together..."

The next day, Xu Changqing woke up on the roof.

The autumn mornings grow colder each day.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator and had awakened Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Roots.

Although I can keenly sense changes in temperature, I do not experience any discomfort.

After leaping off the roof, Xu Changqing couldn't help but stretch and make an "hmm" sound.

The bones all over his body were crackling and popping like popping beans.

After staying up all night, Wangwang emerged from its kennel looking slightly tired and staggered forward.

Xu Changqing squatted down, stroked the dog's head, and chuckled, "I knew you couldn't sleep."

Wangwang opened his mouth and let out a long yawn; his eyes started to glaze over, which showed how torturous his night had been.

Xu Changqing glanced at the Pearl Chicken in the coop again and realized that something was wrong with them too.

It always slept in the very middle of the chicken coop.

But this time, it actually huddled in the deepest corner, curled up into a ball.

As expected, both children fell victim to Zhang Xue's "poisonous hands".

Next, Xu Changqing began his daily routine.

This time, however, he targeted the second acre of Grade-Two Spirit Field.

First, the withered Mutated Green Gourd Vine were transplanted, forming a fence around the outermost layer.

However, a square Spirit Fields has a side length of twenty to thirty meters.

Although the gourd vine has undergone mutation, it is still less than ten meters long.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to completely enclose the area.

But for now, this is the only way we can do it, and we'll take it one step at a time later.

Although Xu Changqing has announced that he has successfully Foundation Establishment, he will continue to do the same things as before, and nothing will change.

Moreover, he wouldn't let the second acre of Spirit Fields be planted immediately.

In any case, we must first fertilize with Spirit Beast Manure, then send down some spirit rain, and then Slash-and-Burn Farming. Only after all these steps are completed can we proceed with the cultivation of the two acres of Spirit Fields simultaneously.

As morning approached, the Small Storage Bag vibrated.

"Senior Brother Li?"

"Junior Brother Xu, the Rainbow Orchid here are ripe; come and harvest them!"

"Uh... okay!"

Xu Changqing then understood why the other party had said "See you tomorrow"!!!
