Chapter 22: Are You Mommy?
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief weakly and said, "Let's go back." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Although Aunt Mei has been rescued, Lux still feels disdain and does not understand Chen Xiao's approach. Is this kind of hypocrisy necessary?
If it were her, she wouldn't have been able to do it.
Because she saw Chen Xiao's groveling face, she felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart. She once thought that Chen Xiao, who was witty and had a sense of justice, was actually just a class like Orka.
Lux bit her lip and said coldly, "Why do you want to do this...... I'd rather die than bow down to that guy. β
Chen Xiao smiled lonely, "So you're not me." β
Lux was puzzled.
Aunt Mei bowed to Chen Xiao and thanked her: "Thank you, young man." Thank you for saving me and saving Lux. If it weren't for you, I think Lux would have been back in conflict with that guy in Orca. β
"Aunt Mei, don't thank him. That guy is a shameless guy like Orka. Lux glanced at Chen Xiao with disgust, and then pulled Aunt Mei away.
In the starry night, Chen Xiao stood alone in place, as if all his strength had been drained, and he didn't want to move at all.
He looked up at the starry night sky.
This was the first time he had the heart to look at the starry sky of this other world.
Very beautiful, indescribably beautiful.
However, his heart was empty......
Before he knew it, he had come to Sap's blacksmith's shop. The shop is closed. And he sat at the door.
After a while, the door of the blacksmith suddenly opened, and Sapp came out of it and said, "Come in." β
Chen Xiao looked up at Sap, barely pulled out a smile, and said, "Old man, can't you sleep and come out to urinate at night?"
"I'm hungry, get something to eat. Sapp unceremoniously kicked Chen Xiao into the shop. Chen Xiao stood up, puffed up his sleeves, and said, "It's okay, I'm hungry too." Then let you taste the craftsmanship of instant noodle professionals. β
"What is instant noodles?" said Sap, sweating profusely.
"Well, it's a kind of noodle. Do you have noodles?" Chen Xiao touched the sweat on his forehead, wiped it, and said that his mouth was leaking again for a while.
"There's it in the kitchen!"
Sapp is an elderly man who lives alone, usually takes care of himself, and the kitchen is very simple, but fortunately there is a lot of food here.
As for the noodles that Sapp said, they are very different from the noodles that Chen Xiao knows, these noodles are colorful, mixed with many things, there are meat, vegetables and fruits, and some slimy things, and the appearance is not round bars, but square strips, each one is a few centimeters thick, and the toughness is very good, which is somewhat similar to knife-cut noodles.
As soon as the noodles are watered, they spread out into a paste.
Chen Xiao bunker.
Are these things noodles?, he looked at Sapp.
"We usually eat it hot or steamed, and it's not good to boil it in water like you," Sapp said. β
"Is this still called noodles?" Chen Xiao's three views were once again refreshed by this different world.
"Let me show you what real noodles are. He remixes these so-called noodles and adds flour, salt and water. Once it is stirred, it is kneaded into a dough and then cut into strips.
When a steaming bowl of noodle soup was served, Sapp's eyes widened with a hellish expression.
"That's what you mean by noodles?" The consommΓ© noodles are served with some sauce and sliced meat, and they smell very good. Chen Xiao has already eaten it in a big gulp, let others do this kind of thing like homemade noodles in the future, it's too hard to do it yourself.
Seeing Chen Xiao burying his head in hardship, Sapp looked confused. The noodles in the soup are extremely slippery, how can you eat them with a knife and fork? And what happened to the two small sticks in Chen Xiao's hand?
Sapp looked at Chen Xiao with a bitter expression. The aroma of the noodles already made his index fingers flutter, and he wanted to grab them with his hands and eat them.
"Why don't you eat it?" Chen Xiao asked knowingly, and Sapu picked up the two sticks that Chen Xiao had prepared for him, feeling awkward.
"Can't even use chopsticks?" Chen Xiao smiled with a sudden realization, "Yes, this is the strongest dining tool invented by our ancestors." Knives and forks are weak. β
Sapp was sweating profusely.
These two chopsticks are the strongest dining tools?
However, as he gradually became familiar with using chopsticks, he felt that these two chopsticks were too convenient to use. It was countless times stronger than the knife and fork he used before.
"Suck-yo-" Both of them buried their heads in their noodles. Sapp has never eaten such delicious noodles, both in terms of the method and the combination of sauces, it is very novel. Even a person like him, who has no pursuit of eating and drinking, feels inexplicably liked.
"Boy, why do you have so many new things in your head?" asked Sap, after licking the last drop of soup away.
Chen Xiao's face was bitter and he shook his head: "I don't know, I just remembered it suddenly." Of course, he couldn't say that he had actually crossed over from another world, and even if he did, no one would believe him.
Sapp stared at Chen Xiao for a long time before he said, "Then what are your plans? You curry favor with that guy in Orka in front of the whole village tonight, your reputation is already stinking." Privately, everyone says you're going to be Orka's lackey. β
Chen Xiao smiled indifferently and didn't care.
Sapp continued: "Is it worth it? Now even Lux looks down on you. β
"Whether it's worth it or not, I just know it in my heart. The end result is good for everyone. β
Hearing Chen Xiao's calm tone, Sap was surprised in his heart, and he also looked at Chen Xiaogao.
This young man seems to see more clearly than anyone else.
"You're here tonight for the night, get out of here tomorrow. Sapp dropped a sentence and got up and went back to his room.
"Thank you, old man. Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Sapp glanced at Chen Xiao and said in a voice that only he could hear: "No, it should be me who says thank you." β
Early the next morning, Chen Xiao left Sapp's blacksmith shop.
This is the fourth day he has traveled to this other world.
These days of near-death and crisis-ridden experiences have made Chen Xiao reaffirm that he is just a dick silk traverser.
I didn't find out that I had a golden finger, and I didn't have a system to escort my grandfather, so I was completely a black household, and there was wood!
Therefore, in order to gain a foothold in this world, Chen Xiao must integrate himself into this world as soon as possible.
A few days ago, a penny was difficult to defeat a hero, and now he has a few hundred gold coins in his body, Chen Xiao has enough confidence, his back is straight when he walks, his waist does not hurt and his legs are not sore.
He approached the tavern proprietress and asked him to recruit a few maids here.
The tavern proprietress was a stout middle-aged woman, her arms pinched her waist, and her biceps muscles were bulging, and she saw that Chen Xiao's heart was a few beats away. I want to wait for the maid introduced by the proprietress, but don't be like the type of the proprietress.
Female man, I can't afford to hurt it.
Last night, Chen Xiao made a high-profile statement to curry favor with Orka, and his reputation as a foreigner in the village was very bad. The tavern proprietress didn't want to see Chen Xiao at first, but when she saw that guy was generous, the proprietress didn't mind giving Chen Xiao some attention for the sake of money, and found a few young maids.
These maids were all children of poor families, and they were all relatively young, the youngest was thirteen years old, and the oldest was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Perhaps because there is no car exhaust, haze and other pollution in this era, and there is no wonderful nightlife, the air quality is good, and the life and rest are good, these maids are slim, and they have developed relatively well since they were thirteen years old.
"Ahem......" The innkeeper saw Chen Xiao's eyes shining with a perverted appearance, a pair of thick eyebrows frowned, and said in a loud voice: "How are these children, which one do you like?"
In fact, she is also thinking about these girls, it is better to live with a rich man than to go hungry every day. These children come from poor backgrounds, and that's all she can help.
Besides, although this guy has a bad reputation, his character doesn't look bad. After all, that guy did it to save Aunt May.
Chen Xiao smiled embarrassedly, put away his eyes, looked at the tavern proprietress sneerfully, and asked, "Are you Mommy?"
