Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 23: The Chef and the Little Fox God Appears

"They took it down?!"

Lin Chen was surprised. He opened the task list and found that the task was indeed gone.

"I wonder if my guess is right?"

Lin Chen was deep in thought.

He was confident in his analysis and theories, but he also understood that he was not 100% correct, and these two things were not contradictory.

"Gugu~~"

The little fox tugged at his clothes, interrupting his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked quickly, thinking it was feeling unwell.

"Gugu~~"

The little fox gestured.

"You want to set up a stall?!"

Lin Chen was dumbfounded, wondering if he had misheard.

Little White, who was honing his hooves, put down the dumbbells and realized he had misheard.

My little brother is always shy around strangers, so why is he thinking of setting up a stall?

"Gugu~~"

The little fox pointed to the food on the table.

Ever since it had the idea of making money, it has been thinking about it.

It wasn't until it saw many vendors and food stalls on the street that it thought of cooking its own food to sell.

Lin Chen was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

A road I never imagined!
It seems possible.

However, he didn't have the money to open a shop, and he wasn't familiar with it either.

The little fox was overjoyed to see Lin Chen praise its idea.

"I've got it! I remember a food blogger on Douyin once made a really good barbecue seasoning recipe. It probably doesn't exist in this world." Lin Chen thought to himself as he picked up a pen and wrote down the recipe.

Recipes and cooking methods are different, but as long as the proportions are right, they will look exactly the same.

"It will just be hard on you," Lin Chen said, looking at the little fox.

"Gugu~~"

The little fox grinned, feeling happy.
I can now share the burden of this family, just like Xiaobai.

Lin Chen went out and bought some raw chicken wings, and also bought the ingredients according to the recipe.

There are some things in this world that are not available, so we have to work hard to make them ourselves.

"I'm really broke. I hope this business venture will be a success." Lin Chen looked at his pockets, feeling extremely distressed.

My assets have fallen below a thousand.

When Lin Chen got home, he put the guild computer on the desktop to get to work, and found that the guild computer was lit up.

"Private message?!" Lin Chen was stunned.

Guild machines cannot communicate; messages can only be sent by the Beastmaster Guild.

[You have completed the quest: Find the Secret Realm. The reward has been given. Please go to the Beastmaster Guild to collect your reward on a later date.]

Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised.

It seems I guessed right; the poisonous beehive was indeed under the fire bush.

Lin Chen was in a great mood. Thirty thousand yuan was a lifesaver; otherwise, he and his two beasts would have been starving.

He wasn't in a hurry; he could collect the task fee anytime. What he was more curious about now was whether his stall setup would be successful.

So Lin Chen started grinding the powder. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong both wanted to help, but they only made things worse. In the end, the two beasts could only squat by and watch, and they lost interest in training.

After spending three hours grinding all the ingredients, Lin Chen finally took out a container and measured them precisely.

"It smells so good!"

Lin Chen smelled the fragrance; it was the same scent he had previously ordered from that blogger.

The ox and the fox also smelled it, swallowed hard, and were full of confidence.

"Come on, Xiao Hong, give it a try." Lin Chen set up the barbecue grill.

The little fox stopped and then took a deep breath.

Lin Chen had a bad feeling.
呲~~
A burnt smell wafted out.

Ok.

The timing wasn't right.

The little fox was dejected, but Lin Chen said, "It's okay, failure is the mother of success."

The little fox doesn't have much culture, so this explanation makes more sense.

The little fox continued trying.

Jiao~~
The third attempt...
焦~
Both the human and the two beasts felt sorry for the charred chicken wings; they were as black as charcoal and inedible, such a waste. They hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

The little fox even wanted to give up.

"Keep it up, Xiao Hong," Lin Chen encouraged.

Xiao Bai also boasts, unconditionally trusting his underlings.

The little fox mustered its courage and tried its best to control its temperature, as Lin Chen had instructed.
呲~~
This time, Lin Chen smelled a fragrance.

"It smells so good!" Lin Chen already knew that the Flame Fox's fire was special, and the things burned by it would have a stronger aroma.

But I didn't expect it to smell so good when grilled directly.

Lin Chen hadn't even sprinkled the barbecue seasoning on his lips when he was already swallowing his saliva.

After the seasoning was poured, both the man and the two animals were drooling.
This smells amazing.

Lin Chen took a bite; after all, as a descendant of foodies, he was more qualified to offer his opinion.

He couldn't wait to take a bite. His teeth pierced the crispy outer skin with a slight "crunch," and then the tender, juicy meat burst open in his mouth, filling his entire oral cavity with its aroma.

For the first time, he felt that the anime "Cooking Master Boy" wasn't just hype, but a real phenomenon.

Lin Chen looked at the two beasts beside him, their drool practically dripping, and handed them to Little White.

Xiaobai took it but didn't eat it, and handed it to Xiaohong.

"Moo~~"

Xiaobai means that the smaller ones eat first.

Lin Chen praised her, saying that even though she really wanted to eat it, she still knew how to be modest.

Touched, the little fox took a small bite and handed it to Little White.

This time, Little White didn't hold back, swallowing it whole, leaving not a bone behind.
The cow's snout is too big, there's nothing we can do about it!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Bai's pupils, like Lin Chen's, also suddenly dilated.

"Moo~~~"

Lin Chen nodded, looking at the little fox with admiration.

The little fox was overjoyed.
As the cook, it didn't care much about the food itself; as long as Lin Chen and Xiao Bai thought it tasted good, that was enough.

"Then I'll go buy another batch tomorrow and sell them in the city," Lin Chen said.

The two children nodded.

That night, the little fox practiced repeatedly, trying to find the right feeling.

After practicing for two or three hours, I was so tired that I fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Chen was also tired, so he went to sleep first.

Niu Niu is the last one to go to bed in this family.

Niu Niu has always been very diligent and never gives up until he is tired; this is the nature of a cow.

However, no matter how tired Xiaobai is, she will always take a shower before going to sleep.

Late at night, Xiaobai returned to bed and saw Lin Chen sleeping with the little fox in his arms. Xiaobai squeezed in beside him.
clap~~~
One person and two beasts fell straight down.

Lin Chen woke up and looked at the collapsed bed, completely bewildered.

Xiao Bai lowered her head in shame.
Since forming a contract with Lin Chen, it has been growing rapidly.

Lin Chen, however, held up the little fox and said, "The last little fox that broke the bed."

The little fox was quicker-witted than the little white fox. He scratched his head, realizing that the fox was trying to comfort the little white fox, and took the blame.

"It's alright, we'll go logging tomorrow and get a big bed," Lin Chen said.

"Moo~~"

"Goo~~"

“Xiao Hong, you don’t need to go. Last time I took you, we almost set the mountain on fire. If this were modern times, you would be in jail.”

"Moo!"

"Goo~~"

"Good girl, it's not far."

One man, holding two beasts, lay down on the broken bed and fell into a deep sleep, dreaming about the work he would do the next day.

The next day, Lin Chen went to buy chicken wings, and bought a full twenty of them.

Lin Chen had calculated that Xiao Hong's limit was thirty sticks, but he didn't want Xiao Hong to be exhausted every time.

After returning home and cleaning up, Lin Chen took Xiaobai to cut down trees.

It was already noon when I got home. After eating the meal Xiaohong had prepared, I took the barbecue grill and went to the city.
