Destiny is ashes

Chapter 214 Peaceful Morning

Chapter 214 Peaceful Morning

A dreamless sleep is always peaceful.

Perhaps it was because the battle consumed too much physical energy, or perhaps it was because I subconsciously rested for a while longer in a safe place.

When An Jing, who had slept unexpectedly long, opened his eyes, Aunt Huai and Huo Qing had already woken up and were preparing breakfast.

The two of them were preparing food in the kitchen and chatting happily.

Huo Qing is very particular about food, and Aunt Huai not only has skills accumulated over the years, she also has deep insights into how to eat various snacks and foods.

You must know that when Aunt Huai was young, she was a famous pastry chef on Chang Street in Kanming City. She was a gourmet expert who could knead the dough and prepare it by herself, and delved into making all kinds of pastries and baked cakes!

"It's hard to imagine that there is an old man like you who specializes in gourmet food in the wilderness!"

As the conversation got more interesting, Huo Qing was filled with emotion: "Let alone in the Seventeen Towns of Fuchenyuan, even in Xuanye City, I'm afraid there is no master as experienced as you!"

"Wow, young man, you have great potential too."

Aunt Huai also smiled happily: "You can tell from the looks of it that you are a person who has a passion for gourmet food and a taste for it. Your cooking skills are not weak either... Your future achievements in this area will definitely far surpass mine."

"You are too kind..."

"Don't be modest, you really can."

An Jing was stunned by the joyful conversation between Huo Qing and Aunt Huai, but he quickly reacted.

Aunt Huai woke up early and talked with Huo Qing who also woke up early.

Knowing that she was from another world, Aunt Huai would certainly not speak nonsense. However, in front of Huo Qing, her friend An Jing, it would be suspicious if she said nothing. However, this experienced old lady successfully fooled Huo Qing through trickery, obtained some information, and secured her own identity.

——The old man is indeed experienced...

An Jing felt emotional, and the two of them surprisingly had a lot of topics to talk about food.

Aunt Huai is now instructing Huo Qing on how to make simple steamed cakes using rice, rice flour and sugar, and how to make simple fried milk using milk, canned meat and eggs.

In fact, Aunt Huai herself wanted to make a more traditional breakfast, but Huo Qing was more interested in this kind of snack. When he heard about these simple ingredients and how to make it, he immediately expressed his hope that Aunt Huai would demonstrate it to him.

"Ah, An Jing, are you awake?"

Noticing the movement, Huo Qing turned around and greeted with a smile: "I have been busy recently and have no time to cook. I will treat you a good meal this time!"

"Aunt Huai really knows a lot. Your tribe must be very powerful. There are very few tribes in the wilderness that have such abundant food that we can study how to cook it!"

In Huo Qing's opinion, this is not surprising.

A wilderness tribe that could cultivate a genius like An Jing must be a large tribe no matter what, and it might even have its own town-level settlement.

In the final analysis, the so-called safe zone is just 'safe', and there is no reason why there are towns only in the safe zone.

For example, the Guiyi Army in the wilderness even has its own underground spiritual city...but that's another topic.

Based on these considerations, Huo Qing believed that An Jing was just carrying out another ordinary wilderness rescue operation this time.

Aunt Huai also smiled and nodded to An Jing - there was no need to say anything more. After leaving the small teahouse building where she had spent almost her entire life, the old lady also loosened many of her constraints and seemed unexpectedly relaxed.

"My tribe over there... is really good."

An Jing first glanced at You Ruhui who was sitting on the sofa next to him.

She hadn't woken up yet. The long period of escape had caused too much mental stress, and the girl slept for an unusually long time after she had completely relaxed.

After thinking for a while, An Jing stood up and said with a smile: "Is there anything I can help with? I'll lend a hand too."

In addition to simple and delicious snacks such as steamed cakes and fried milk, Huo Qing also planned to stew some beans, mushrooms and meat to make soup.

While cutting mushrooms, An Jing asked Huo Qing indirectly, only to find that the other party really didn't get any information out of Aunt Huai, but was instead tricked into telling her a lot. "Huo Qing, I feel that you may need to learn more about interpersonal skills than practicing."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Huo Qing didn't understand, but didn't care. As the soup pot started to simmer, the aroma began to spread.

"Hmm...did I sleep too long?"

When the meat, mushroom and bean soup was ready, You Ruhui also woke up.

The girl's veil had been removed, revealing a flawless face that would cause trouble if it were shown to the public. This shows that the stereotype that all princesses of the Dachen Imperial Court are peerless beauties may not be a stereotype.

But for the three people present, this was not a big deal - for An Jing, beauty is beauty, just like having good muscles is part of physical talent, it does not mean that he should have any reaction.

Aunt Huai was well-informed and treated You Ruhui as her own daughter and granddaughter. She had seen her before and naturally had no reaction.

As for Huo Qing, who should have given some feedback, he praised: "I didn't expect that the transformation technology of your tribe is so powerful."

——He actually thought that You Ruhui’s overly perfect face was the result of artificial modification.

However, this is only applicable to people like Huo Qing who have not seen much of the world. Although there is not much difference between natural appearance and acquired transformation, You Ruhui's temperament, which is obviously that of a noble family, cannot be faked.

If someone with insight saw it, it would definitely cause trouble.

You Ruhui herself understood this and quickly put on her veil again.

Apart from Aunt Huai's teachings, Huo Qing's cooking skills were surprisingly good.

The stewed meat, mushroom and bean soup is cooked to the perfect temperature. The pre-processed beans are already soft and crispy, which perfectly matches the freshness of the stewed meat with mushrooms. After finishing a bowl of it, you will feel warm all over.

At this time, eating some sweet and tender rice cakes and salty and fragrant fried milk is really a treat.

"Once I find a suitable property for you, we'll set off for Chonggang Town!"

After finishing his meal, Huo Qing went to the front desk to open the door for business.

While waiting for business to come, he also has to use the chip to help An Jing find suitable land on the corresponding website.

For Huo Qing, such a peaceful life is the norm in his life.

Even though his parents died when he was young and he joined a gang, he was always taken care of by his elders and did clerical work in the gang. Except for the first and last attack for the gang some time ago, he had never been to the battlefield.

After joining Tie Shou, he began to live a life of reading, sleeping and practicing every day.

Therefore, Huo Qing does not feel that this kind of life is precious, but just feels it is daily.

But for An Jing and You Ruhui, this kind of life is extremely rare, and it really makes them relax a lot.

"If you want to eat, I can cook for you." Seeing that An Jing and You Ruhui were in a good mood, Aunt Huai said with a smile.

"Ma'am, you are in a really good mood."

An Jing was naturally happy to be able to eat delicious food.

He really didn't expect that Aunt Huai could be so optimistic and cheerful even though she knew she only had a few days left to live and obviously didn't want to live.

"That's a good kid."

Aunt Huai looked in the direction of Huo Qing and sighed softly, "Both my parents died, and I was betrayed by my elders. I was not helped by a noble person like me... When I think about people with similar fates, or even worse fates than mine, they can be so happy, then how can I not be thankful that I have lived a peaceful life?"

——It turns out that Huo Qing’s identity and background, and even the fact that he was betrayed by Da Qiang, have been revealed?
