Zhang Teng thought silently.

At this time, with the influx of a large amount of earth spiritual energy, Zhang Teng's dantian gradually filled, and the spiritual energy vortex slowly became smaller and gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the tornado formed outside the surrounding three zhang also weakened little by little, and finally dispersed.

The fallen leaves and dust carried up by the tornado fell from the sky one after another, staining Zhang Tengqing and Yingying, making the two of them look like they were rolling on the ground, becoming dirty and messy.

As a last resort, the two had to wash on the edge of the waterhole for a while before they went into the house to change their clothes.

A month and a half has passed, and the melon shed in the bamboo courtyard is lush and green. Many yellow flowers are dotted in the middle, and the breeze is blowing, and the flowers and leaves are swaying, vibrant, and eye-catching.

In the bamboo house, Qing Sakura changed into white clothes and lay lazily on a bamboo bed in the hall, holding a book in her hand, flipping through the pages page by page. Zhang Teng changed into a set of gray-white cloth clothes, went to the melon shed to pick some melon seedlings, cleaned them, and then took them to the kitchen to fry.

After a while, there was a burst of porridge and the smell of vegetables from the kitchen, which made people appetite.

Soon, Zhang Teng brought the porridge dishes to the table in the hall and set up the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing this, Qing Ying put down the book by herself without waiting for Zhang Teng to open her mouth, ran down from the bamboo bed, and quickly sat down on the edge of the table.

"Well, it's good, it's delicious. ”

She picked up the chopsticks, rolled up the sleeves of her dress, picked up a melon seedling and put it in her mouth, and her pretty face was full of happiness.

Zhang Teng served her a bowl of porridge, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't you say that you are a lady? Why these days, it's getting less and less exquisite, it looks like a wild horse on the loose, there are no rules, and it's not polite at all. ”

Qing Ying glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "Hmph, everyone's ladies are for others to see." Hey, sister, I'm free now, I can do whatever I want. Do you have an opinion? Also, you keep calling me little girl, so you are not polite! I repeat, call me sister!"

As she spoke, she picked up the bamboo bowl in front of her, took a sip, and continued to pick up the vegetables, obviously the fried melon seedlings were very much to her taste, and she loved it a lot.

Zhang Teng scooped a bowl of porridge for himself, pointed to the fried bacon with mushrooms in front of him with chopsticks, and said, "Don't you eat this dish?"

Qing Ying grinned and said, "Of course I eat it, but I have to wait for a while, now my sister has to destroy the melon seedlings first." In the past, I was a little tired of eating fish and meat every day at home, but I was able to eat some vegetables for a while, which can be regarded as satisfying. ”

Zhang Teng asked curiously: "Vegetables are cheaper than fish, if you want to eat them, let your family make them." ”

Qing Ying glanced at him, shook her head and said, "You don't understand, although the cook will do whatever I want to eat, but there are many people in my family, and many times they can't take care of it." Besides, their craftsmanship is just like that, the color and fragrance, the color and fragrance are okay, and the taste is so-so. ”

Zhang Teng smiled and said, "That's natural, after all, there are a lot of people." If I do it, maybe the color and flavor are so-so, barely cooked. ”

Qing Ying gave him a melon seedling, smiled and said, "Why don't you come to our house as a cook, and cook for me alone, how about it? Sister will pay you double your salary! No, if you can come, your sister will pay you three times! Of course, five times will do!"

She gestured her fingers in front of Zhang Teng, Zhang Teng shook his head and smiled, gently brushed her hand away, and said, "Sounds good, how many silver jade does your cook have a month?"

Qing Ying said a little embarrassed: "It's a little little, five Lingyu for a month, but our family has other benefits." ”

"Wu Lingyu?" Zhang Teng was stunned for a moment. He looked at her embarrassed look, thinking that his ear had misheard, and asked again: "You mean Lingyu, not Yinyu?"

Five Lingyu is equal to five hundred silver yu, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of 50,000 yuan in modern Huaxia, and a cook is only five Lingyu a month, and the salary is a bit ridiculously high.

"That's right! It's Lingyu, not Yinyu! Five Yinyu can't even send Hanako away, how can he afford to hire a cook?" Qing Ying looked at him strangely, "Why do you look like this, you think the cook's salary is still too little? That can't be helped, this salary is already the highest among Yunjing's middle chefs, and even if it is small, there are many people vying to come to our house." Besides, we have more than one cook in our family, and a slight increase in wages is a big expense. ”

Zhang Teng was completely speechless.

Just a cook's salary is so high, and there is more than one cook, it seems that Qingying's family is extraordinary, either a powerful person or a local tyrant. If it is really as she said, go to her house to be a cook, get five times the salary, 25 Lingyu a month, which is equivalent to 250,000 yuan in modern China!

If he can't get along in the future, going to Qingying's house to become a chef may not be a way out.

In an instant, Zhang Teng was even a little moved.

However, he quickly shook off such thoughts.

Money is something outside the body, and cultivating martial arts is the right thing right now.

Compared to being free and prosperous in the Tianyuan Continent, he would rather return to Huaxia to live an ordinary quiet life. The most important thing is that the world, and his parents, are waiting for him to return, and he needs to support them with filial piety so that they can enjoy their old age in peace.

"Well, your cook is not cheap. Zhang Teng sandwiched a piece of bacon for her, and said with a smile: "I can't mix it that day, so I'll go to your house to be a cook." But my cooking skills are limited, and I only have those few dishes back and forth, but I am afraid that after a long time, you will get tired of eating, so you will kick me out. ”

Qing Ying looked at Zhang Teng, her eyes shining like autumn water. She covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I won't get tired, I like to eat all the dishes you make, and you can eat them for a lifetime." ”

Zhang Teng smiled and said: "Why not? Vegetables are not staple foods after all, just like rice, porridge, steamed buns, and noodles. ”

Qing Ying pursed her lips and said, "The staple food is difficult to swallow without vegetables, and there is no fun in eating, so it's okay not to eat." ”

"If you don't eat, you'll starve to death!" Zhang Teng said, "The food is barely enough, and filling your stomach is the most important thing." ”

Qing Ying blinked, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You can not only cook, but also cook, porridge, steamed buns, noodles, pancakes and other staple foods, if you are my cook, I will be blessed in this life." ”

Zhang Teng was noncommittal, and said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, my cooking skills are so-so, and there are many people who are better than me." If you only eat my food, you don't know how many delicacies you will miss, and you will lose a lot. ”

"How so? There are so many dishes in the world, no matter how delicious they are, I can't taste them all. Haru Sakura said playfully, "It's better to eat the dishes I like to eat wholeheartedly, just like rabbits love grass, tigers love meat, and I like to eat what you make." ”

After speaking, she picked up the bacon in the bowl and put it in her small mouth, and ate it with relish.

Zhang Teng clipped another piece to her and said, "You don't talk too much, eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold." During this time, you eat well, take care of your body, and go back to Yunjing early. Now that there is smoke outside, the soldiers are in chaos, and it is safer to return to Yunjing. ”

When Qing Ying heard this, she suddenly stopped her chopsticks, looked at him quietly, and asked seriously: "Zhang Teng, are you going to participate in the martial arts competition the day after tomorrow?"

Zhang Teng nodded and said, "There is still someone waiting for me in Yunjing, whether I can get the quota of Yunjing Martial Academy or not, I will go there." ”

Qing Ying lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "The person you are talking about, but that girl named Chen Ning?"

Zhang Teng nodded and said, "She is my family, no matter what, I have to meet her, settle her well, and let her have a home." ”

Qing Sakura lowered her eyes, clenched her hand holding the chopsticks a little, and suddenly asked, "What about me? Who am I in your mind?"

"You?" Zhang Teng looked at her in surprise, and found that her expression was slightly wrong.

Haru Sakura raised her head, met his gaze, and asked seriously, "Yes." ”

Zhang Teng smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Then in your mind, who am I?"

Qing Yingqiao's face flushed, she lowered her head and pinched a melon seedling, raised it in front of Zhang Teng, and said, "A cook who can cook good dishes for a lifetime!"

Zhang Teng shook his head, took a sip of porridge, and said softly: "Then you are the most ideal owner diner in my life." ”

Qing Ying pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Hmph, you and my cook are actually similar! ”

Zhang Teng listened, and said helplessly: "It's hard to get fat when you eat alone, and it's better to share good things with a family." ”

Qing Sakura glanced at him and said, "But I can't eat enough!"

Zhang Teng pushed the plate in front of her and said, "That's all for you to eat, if you can't eat enough, I'll make it for you." ”

Qing Sakura was choked, she patted her chest, turned her face to the side and coughed, and said angrily, "Ahem...... Today is me alone, with one mouth, it is naturally not a problem to eat enough. But I have a dozen people in my family, can you keep busy? How are they fed?"

Zhang Teng stood up, walked to her side, patted her on the back with his hand, and said, "Then let other cooks help, I'll be mainly responsible for the food and drink of you and the people closest to you." I am an ordinary person, not a god, and my abilities are limited, and it is impossible for anyone to take care of me. It's okay to cook a table of dishes and feed a table of people, but it's impossible to make a few, dozens, or hundreds of tables. The rest of the people can taste it, and they will be free when they are full. ”

Ahem, ahem!

Haruka coughed a little hard.

I saw her teary-eyed, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said to Zhang Teng angrily: "Don't try it, the cook hired by this girl, why should they try it! I haven't eaten enough! Even if I'm full, this girl would rather throw it out and feed it to the dog and throw it in the stinky ditch than pick up a bargain for others!"

Zhang Teng smiled bitterly and said, "Little girl, why are you so domineering? There are still many people in this world who are not full, and we should be diligent and thrifty, and give leftovers to those who are hungry. ”

"Hmph, after that day, I will raise myself to be a big fat man, gobble it up, eat a lot, and make you have no time to cook for others!"

When Zhang Teng saw it, he couldn't cry or laugh: "Why are you doing this? I'm just talking, I didn't promise to be your cook, don't take it seriously." Also, look, you look so aggrieved and angry, others don't know and think I bullied you. ”

At this time, Qing Ying stretched out her hand, grabbed Zhang Teng's collar, and pulled him in front of her.

She said hatefully: "Stinky brother, since my sister likes to eat your food, then you don't want to be your sister's cook! Don't worry, I will keep an eye on you, and I won't give you a chance to show your skills to others! Sister, I haven't eaten enough, and others want to eat? Hmph, let's dream!"
