Chapter 29 Xiangnan
Friendships between men can develop so swiftly and unexpectedly.

Hearing the three people calling her by different names, Su Ning's dimples became even more pronounced.

"Brother Zhang, it seems we really are destined to meet!"

Wu Ming rubbed his hands together happily. Although he had promised his family he wouldn't commit adultery because of his father, his natural fondness for olive green had never faded and had even grown stronger with age.

On this train, he not only met two retired brothers, but also traveled to Xiangnan Xingcheng together. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, and just thinking about this made him very happy.

"You're acting like a silly kid, hahaha. I'll treat you to noodles when we get there!"

"It's done!"

……

To allow the three of them to chat freely without any worries, the thoughtful Su Ning made an excuse to lie down on her side and close her eyes to rest.

As the train chugged along, she got a little bored and her thoughts started to wander.

—If only we could enter the paradise without using our bodies.

The light in front of her clearly changed from dark to bright. She immediately opened her eyes and saw a familiar scene. She was first surprised and then overjoyed.

"That's really good!"

Once she was sure she was still in good health and lying on the bed, Su Ning, feeling relieved, looked at her 'self' in the space with great curiosity.

It has hands and feet, can run and jump, but it seems to feel no pain?
"Finally, I have something to do to pass the agonizing days on the train!"

This is a good opportunity to explore the space and see what aspects I still don't understand.

First, replenish the pigs' feed at the farm, then open the fence to let the cattle and sheep graze on their own.

Then we went to the orchard and inspected the fields.

Just as she thought, the plants and animals grew much faster than in the outside world, but not to the point that they matured in less than a day, as was the case on those two occasions.

He subconsciously bent down and touched the vibrant rice seedlings in the field.

Aside from tasting the fruit last night, she doesn't seem to have tried the grains and vegetables grown in Peach Blossom Spring, or the meat from the livestock raised there.

Anyway, I have plenty of time, and all the kitchen utensils are prepared in advance. The key is that no matter how much I make, it will always look fresh from the pot and will never spoil or go to waste.

"Try it!"

Once the mood struck, Suning immediately ran back to the kitchen in the courtyard.

When she used her mental power to retrieve a considerable amount of food from the cellar, just as she was about to start cooking, she discovered a particularly awkward problem—

It seems like she... can't cook!

She ruffled her braids hanging down her chest, desperately trying to recall the image of her grandfather cooking.

Su Ting, who was both a father and a mother, actually apprenticed himself to learn excellent cooking skills to satisfy his daughter's picky palate.

"Oh right, the notes!"

Remembering this, she turned and ran to the study. The room was full of books, but apart from her textbooks which made up a very small portion, most of them were her grandfather's treasured collection and various handwritten notes.

"It's... um... I remember it being here, I found it!"

A thick cookbook not only features illustrations of the dishes but also detailed explanations, meticulously recording everything from preparing ingredients to cooking methods. At the bottom are notes written by my grandfather.

After gently stroking the familiar handwriting on the notebook with her fingertips, Su Ning carefully closed it and held it in her arms.

"Grandpa, once Ning'er has mastered it, I'll let you, Grandma, Mom, and my brother all have a good taste of my cooking!"

……

After an initial flustered start, she, with her always remarkable learning ability, quickly got the hang of it within a few hours.

Although, well, the taste is not quite satisfactory and there is still a lot of room for improvement, it is at least edible, right?

To avoid wasting food, she deliberately made the dishes she practiced into small portions, just a bite or two.

Even so, after eating countless unpalatable dishes, I finally tasted normal food!
It was only at this point that she seemed to awaken her culinary soul, and she made better and better dishes each time, with the flavors of her finished products improving rapidly.

The feeling of making all sorts of delicious food by hand is simply captivating and intoxicating. Completely addicted, she tirelessly focused on three words in the kitchen: wash, chop, and stir-fry!
"No more plates?"

After finding the cupboard empty, Su Ning suddenly came to her senses and gasped when she saw the dishes filling the kitchen. "When...did I make so much?"

Goodness, how many days would it take her to eat all by herself!

He looked a little disappointed: "It's alright, the kitchen can keep things fresh, I can eat slowly."

……

"Ning Ning?"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Zhang?"

Seeing that the person had finally come to their senses, Zhang Ze smiled with a relaxed expression and said, "Look outside."

Forced to return from the virtual world to reality, Su Ning got up and looked out the car window, somewhat bewildered.

"it's dark?!"

It was always bright daylight in the Peach Blossom Spring, so she hadn't really paid attention to the time. She raised her wrist and glanced at her watch.

It's already 7:30, almost 8:00.

"You slept really long, are you still half asleep?"

"Hehe, Ningning, are you hungry? Dinner has been brought back, eat it while it's hot."

Suning, who had already eaten a full stomach: Oh no, I ate too much during the tasting and can't eat any more. What should I do?
The lunchbox that had previously contained dumplings had been cleaned by Mao Qianjin and filled with a large bowl of mixed rice.

A spoonful of stewed cabbage and tofu sits atop a bowl of rice that is a mixture of yellow and gray.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao, I just woke up and really don't have much of an appetite. You guys can have some!"

"to make."

Knowing her preferences, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin had no doubts. They took her lunchbox and each scooped out a small portion into their own.

My aunt's chili sauce was indeed appetizing and made me want to eat more rice, but unfortunately, I couldn't eat any more.

She had to stuff herself little by little until she was so full she was about to throw up. With tears welling up in her eyes, she secretly decided that she would never eat another bite in the next few days.

……

And so, whenever he had free time, Suning would enter the space to either take care of the plants and animals inside or continue studying the recipes left by his grandfather.

Four days passed quickly, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their final destination, Hunan.

After struggling to get off the train with their bags, the three of them were immediately hit by a wave of heat that made them gasp for breath and then break out in a cold sweat.

"This Hunan is really different from Beijing, the weather here is as hot as an oven, wow!"

The long platform is filled with either the backs of people's heads or the various kinds of luggage that people carry on their backs.

Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin were already covered in bandages, and they kept looking back to see if she was keeping up.

"Ningning, watch your step! Hold onto Brother Zhang and don't let go!"

"it is good."

He tightened his grip on the suitcase handle in one hand, while keeping a firm grip on the other.

Su Ning felt a throbbing pain in her temples as she smelled the same sour, pungent odor emanating from herself and those around her.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao, Comrade Su Ning, this way! This way!"

"Brother Zhang is Wu Ming, that kid."

"Let's go, let's go over there first!"

Wu Ming waved his hands vigorously, stood on tiptoe, and roared loudly in their direction.

Thank you to all the lovely angels who voted! I'm working hard to climb the rankings and still asking for more votes: Here you go, a treasure trove of votes for you all, shower me with all kinds of votes!
