Upon returning home, Bai Yiling, Shen Ruobing, and the others had already arrived.
"Miss Melina, hello!" Bai Yiling greeted Melina with a smile as she approached.
Melina and Bai Yiling shared a big hug.
She said, "Goddess Bai, I'm so happy to see you!"
Shen Ruobing was also familiar with Melina.
She smiled and said, "Miss Melina, welcome!"
Melina smiled back, "Hello, beauty Shen!"
Immediately after, she introduced Mary and Della to Bai Yiling and Shen Ruobing.
Tang Xiuwan had been busy in the kitchen helping her grandfather cook since she returned.
Three women make a lot of noise.
These Chinese and foreign beauties gathered together.
They were more lively than the sparrows that rise early in the woods.
Chirping and talking non-stop.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't get a word in.
He went straight to the kitchen and saw Tang Guoxing and his granddaughter busy, one preparing ingredients, the other cooking.
"Mr. Cheng, why are you in the kitchen instead of entertaining guests?" Tang Guoxing said with a beaming smile when he saw Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan replied with a smile, "Yiling and Shen Ruobing are keeping the guests company in the living room."
"I don't need to be there just to make up the numbers!"
Tang Guoxing laughed heartily and said, "When women get together, their topics of conversation are much richer than men's."
Cheng Xiaofan took out a large pile of snake spirit meat from his spatial storage and placed it there.
He said, "Old Tang, I killed two snake spirits at Jade Tablet Mountain when I was in the capital this time."
"This meat is highly spiritual and tastes exceptionally delicious."
"Let's stew some soup for everyone to try at noon!"
"What a rare and good thing!"
Tang Guoxing's eyes fell on the pile of snake meat, and he sniffed it carefully with his nose.
His eyes immediately sparkled, and he exclaimed, "This is not something ordinary people can eat!"
He was a culinary cultivator and could tell the quality of ingredients and the amount of spiritual substance they contained at a glance.
"Mr. Cheng, these snake spirits should have been able to transform into human form, right?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded.
He said, "Old Tang's eyes are sharp!"
"You are absolutely right, they have already transformed into human form."
"These snake spirits are from Earth's prehistoric era."
"It's a pity that even after transforming into human form, they didn't tread the righteous path."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have killed them!"
Tang Guoxing nodded with emotion.
He sighed, "It is very difficult for some creatures to become spirits and transform into human form."
"Yet they don't know their place and try to harm humans, which is seeking their own death!"
"Xiuwan, how are you adapting to your work in Zhuxi Village?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Tang Xiuwan smiled and said, "To Mr. Cheng, I am very adapted to my current job. It is precisely what I like to do, and I am becoming more energetic the more I do it!"
In Zhuxi Village, she was mainly responsible for food development and production.
Furthermore, like Tang Guoxing, she was a culinary cultivator.
She had an indescribable fondness for delicacies.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "That's good. However, don't push yourself too hard at work."
"Learn to take things easy in everything, and then you can enjoy the process."
Tang Xiuwan said happily, "Okay, I understand!"
While Cheng Xiaofan was chatting with the grandfather and granddaughter,
his hands were not idle, helping to prepare ingredients.
Or adding fuel to the stove.
Before long,
more than a dozen dishes were ready.
"Everyone, stop chatting and get ready to eat!"
Cheng Xiaofan transformed into a waiter from a hotel.
With his hands, he carried a dish of Steamed Immortal Fish from the tray to the table.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry to trouble you,"
Melina said with a smile when she saw this, "for having to cook yourself!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily.
He said, "It's a pleasure to have beauties from afar!"
"It's very normal to help cook a few small dishes!"
Everyone took their seats.
Cheng Xiaofan went to get the wine.
He was stopped by Melina.
She said, "Mr. Cheng, no drinking today."
"I just told your Goddess Bai earlier."
"We'll be returning home after lunch!"
Cheng Xiaofan was slightly taken aback.
He said, "Can't you stay a few more days?"
Melina smiled and said, "We've been out for over a week."
"We all have our own things to do when we get back."
"I've already called the driver."
"He'll be here to pick us up shortly!"
Hearing her say this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't insist.
He said, "Alright then, no drinking, let's eat!"
"Wow, oh my God, this meat is so delicious!"
Della exclaimed after taking a bite of the snake spirit meat and chewing it a few times.
Mary tasted a piece and immediately shouted, "What delicious meat, it's simply amazing! I've never tasted such delicious meat before!"
"Mr. Cheng, what kind of meat is this?" Melina asked after tasting a piece.
Facing these three blonde, blue-eyed beauties,
he couldn't bring himself to tell them it was snake spirit meat.
He was sure it would scare them.
He could only make up a story: "This is ordinary farmed snake meat."
"If it tastes good, it's all thanks to our chef, Old Tang. He cooked it well!"
Tang Guoxing, hearing this, knew what Cheng Xiaofan meant.
He smiled at the three foreign beauties and said, "If you like it, please eat more!"
Melina said, "Old Tang, your cooking is truly delicious!"
Tang Guoxing smiled and said, "Not at all, I'm just learning from Mr. Cheng!"
He thought to himself, "Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without ingredients!"
If not for the good ingredients developed by Cheng Xiaofan,
no matter how skilled he was as a culinary cultivator,
he wouldn't be able to make such spiritual delicacies!
The meal lasted for over half an hour.
The car Melina had rented had already arrived at the entrance.
She stood up and said to Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling, "Mr. Cheng, Goddess Bai, thank you both for your warm hospitality."
"It's getting late, and we have to leave now!"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Miss Melina, I've already instructed someone."
"To prepare a gift for each of you."
"They will be delivered shortly!"
As soon as she finished speaking,
a villager arrived driving a three-wheeled vehicle.
On the vehicle were three large cardboard boxes.
These cardboard boxes contained delicacies produced in Zhuxi Village.
Bai Yiling immediately asked the villager to load the three large cardboard boxes into the trunk of Melina's car.
"Goddess Bai, thank you for the gifts!"
Melina knew very well that what Bai Yiling had given her would undoubtedly be a treasure.
She smiled and said, "Then we won't be polite and will accept them all!"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Miss Melina, we are friends, there's no need to be so formal."
"Next time you visit Zhuxi Village, be sure to call me."
"You've been here for a week, and I was kept in the dark!"
Melina smiled and said, "I apologize, Goddess Bai, it's all my fault!"
"By the way, Goddess Bai, don't forget our agreement!"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "I will definitely not forget this agreement!"
