Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the penultimate day before the start of the Kajias entrance exam.

During this time, Xuanyuan's life has been extremely regular.

Practice archery and exercise every day, and meet and chat with Shinia from time to time.

Besides.

Xuanyuan has been concentrating on the study of various cuisines.

With the improvement of cooking skills, using ingredients with otherworldly flavors, he reproduced some ordinary stir-fried dishes for Sinia in the flavor of his hometown in his previous life.

Today, have been tinkering in the kitchen all day.

Three traditional hometown dishes, including shredded potatoes with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried meat foam with eggplant, are also prepared with several refreshing sour and hot side dishes such as cold cucumber and kelp.

Each dish is prepared according to the average person's 10-course portion, and the amount of rice is also prepared for a full 100 people.

In addition, I also made a lot of corn tortillas with a fragrant and soft texture, as well as a mountain of fried glutinous rice chicken, all of which are very satisfying foods.

It is worth mentioning that glutinous rice chicken is a kind of glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in golden rice skin on the outside, fried to charred on the outside and tender on the inside, because the skin looks similar to the fried chicken skin after frying, so it is called glutinous rice chicken, but there is no chicken in it.

The method adopted by Xuanyuan is to soak brown rice and soybeans in a ten-to-three ratio for one night, mix and stir them into rice paste with a machine the next day, add a little chopped shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, meat foam, bamboo shoots and other fillings to the boiled glutinous rice and knead them into balls, and finally wrap the glutinous rice dough in the rice cereal slowly, and throw it into seventy percent of the hot oil to fry it.

The fried dumplings look ordinary on the surface.

In fact, when you bite into it, your mouth is full of fragrant, golden brown and crispy, soft and pleasant.

The delicate aroma of shiitake mushrooms and dried tofu and the original aroma of glutinous rice perfectly reconcile the greasy taste of the fried food, giving it a refreshing and satisfying natural aroma.

In order for Sinia to be fed.

Xuanyuan fried hundreds of glutinous rice chickens in one go, and he cooked a bag of glutinous rice.

Finally, all the dishes were ready before dusk.

Seal all the insulated lunch boxes and place them one by one in the huge backpack he brought.

I don't know when.

Around the stove where Xuanyuan was, there was a large circle of people eating melons inside and out.

"Brother, I've never seen the style and aroma of these dishes you make, they smell so appetizing!"

"Do you own a restaurant? Where is your store? ”

"I've got to eat it once!"

Xuan Yuan waved his hand and explained to everyone:

"Thank you, it's not for opening a restaurant, it's for your own family."

Hearing Xuanyuan's words, someone asked curiously:

"With all that to do, are you going to have a multi-person party somewhere?"

Xuan Yuan smiled and didn't reply.

The meals are all packed.

Xuan Yuan didn't say anything anymore, just smiled politely at the others.

He walked straight to the big backpack, turned around and slammed it on, carrying the heavy backpack, which was even much larger than him.

Seeing that Xuanyuan's steps were a little shaky.

Xiao Pa jumped to Xuanyuan's waist sensibly, stretched out two small tentacles, and tried to push the big bag behind Xuanyuan above his head, trying to reduce Xuanyuan's burden.

Everyone watched.

Xuanyuan left this self-catering shop step by step, and gradually drifted away.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and some people looked down at the cooking video they had just recorded, wondering if they would also try to make a dish of this bizarre style and taste what it tasted like.

Walk out into the street, remove the float skateboard hanging from your backpack and step on it carefully.

The poor float skateboard was so heavy that it couldn't fly at all, barely about twenty centimeters above the ground.

However, if you can fly, you can fly.

Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction, and flew to a meadow in the middle of a lake on a skateboard.

In front of you is a lake covering an area of about 10,000 square meters, and in the middle of the lake is a small island of hundreds of square meters.

The reeds ripple in the wind, and the breeze blows a faint ripple.

Although the scenery in the middle of the lake is pleasant, it is some distance from the city, and there are few people around.

Seeing that Sinia hadn't come yet, Xuanyuan put down his heavy backpack.

First, a pillar with an insect repellent circle was arranged on the ground.

Later, a light oversized dinner cloth was spread out on the grass.

Find some gorgeous new flowers nearby, gently insert them into a decorative vase, and put them together with other cute knick-knacks to add a little warmth.

Finally, take out the insulated boxes full of meals one by one, and remove the boxes full of plates from the small storage space.

Carefully selected exquisite plates, the tablecloth is neatly sorted and placed, and the meals are carefully arranged and decorated.

Finally, set up a large pot on the ground, boil the cauldron with firewood, and then put all kinds of fruits, vegetables and meat slices that have been cleaned and cut on a plate, and wait for the time to eat.

Just finished.

Turning his head, he heard the surprised voice of Sinia behind him:

"Oh my!"

"You actually prepared so many delicious foods today?"

Xuanyuan turned around.

Bow slowly and whisper:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the meal has been prepared."

"Excuse me, do you want to eat now?"

A shy flush bloomed across Sinia's face.

It is both joy and satisfaction.

She gently pulled up the hem of her pale crushed flower skirt and bent her knees to perform a court salute in another world:

"Yes, I can't wait!"

Xuan Yuan smiled lightly:

"Next, please dine with the ancient rites of my hometown."

led Lai Sinia in front of the cloth, taught her to sit upright in a kneeling manner, and then gently placed a rectangular table that had been prepared in front of her.

Xuanyuan walked to the front of the altar of sacrifice to the heavens that had been prepared in advance.

Burn three sticks of incense, hold the incense around the place where you eat, first walk three times to the left and three circles to the right.

Return to the altar and give thanks to heaven and earth with incense.

Only then did he slowly turn around.

On the table in front of Sinia, she gently placed the dishes, placed the dishes, chopsticks and porcelain cups, and carefully cleaned her hands with warm water.

Then, Xuan Yuan knelt beside Sinia with a bottle of drink in his arms and filled the whole glass with juice for her.

Xinia watched Xuanyuan's movements curiously.

I was about to ask Xuanyuan, why don't you sit down and eat together?

I saw Xuan Yuan gently stretch out his index finger and put it to his mouth, smiled and made a silent gesture to her, and gently pointed to the rich food on the table in front of Xinia with his hand.

Xinia understood.

Immediately sit up straight, pick up the dishes and chopsticks in front of you, and start eating silently.

Throughout the meal.

Every time Sinia finishes eating a plate of food, Genyuan will replace it with a new food plate; Whenever the drink in Sinia's cup was empty, it would be filled just right.

The variety of food eaten is quite varied.

Especially the cooking that is going on in the hot pot.

Xuanyuan takes a completely different order every time he picks up the dishes, constantly switching the types of food that Sinia eats in front of him, and matching the different ingredients stewed in the hot pot, constantly preparing various dipping sauces of different styles and flavors for Xinia.

During the whole process, Xuan Yuan calmly listened attentively to the subtle reactions of Xinia when she was eating.

It doesn't take Sinia to open her mouth to know the style of mixing, the taste of the dipping sauce and the combination of food that she prefers, and constantly readjust the order and rhythm of the dishes.

Xuan Yuan's face always maintained a gentle and loving smile, and his movements were as gentle as gurgling water, without the slightest abruptness.

With the natural adjustment of the eating rhythm and the pace of serving.

In the past, Sinia's eating speed, which made Xuanyuan almost invisible, slowed down unconsciously.

A smile of satisfaction and happiness gradually appeared on her face.

At this moment, whether it is Sinia who is eating, or Xuanyuan who is serving, it seems that the sound of the piano and the seer in perfect harmony blends with each other, playing a silent music in nature.

Both the eater and the servant become one with nature, forgetting their own material boundaries as individuals.

Eventually, the rhythm disappears.

Xinia also happened to be full and slowly stopped eating.

Xuanyuan also adjusted his rhythm, and after Sinia had eaten and stopped, he took out a white towel and gently dipped it in warm water to carefully wipe the corners of her mouth.

The end of the song.

Xinia sat quietly in place, and Xuanyuan also sat quietly next to her to accompany her.

An inexplicable afterglow echoed in the hearts of the two of them, and it slowly dissipated after a long time.

Xuan Yuan got up and walked to the altar again.

Burn incense again and surround the place where you eat.

First walk three times to the right, then three times to the left, holding incense and thanking the heavens and the earth.

After completing the ceremony, Xuanyuan turned his head to look at Sinia and said with a smile:

"How does it feel to dine like this?"

Xinia walked over and gently hugged Xuanyuan's waist:

"It's amazing!"

"You actually treated me to a big meal, and you made it yourself."

"I feel like the happiness in my heart is about to overflow~"

"You've prepared a lot today, although with my appetite, I can normally eat another third of the amount to be completely full."

"But this time, I feel like my stomach is full now."

"There have been a few times in the past when I have eaten a lot, but I have never felt this kind of satisfying comfort."

"After eating, I feel so relaxed."

"It's incredible to be physically satisfied, and mentally satisfied!"

Xuan Yuan smiled:

"Food has energy."

"The material of the ingredients, the mind of the cook, the way of cooking, the way of eating, the mood of eating, the environment, the ritual of eating, all aspects will have an impact on the food."

Speaking of which.

Xuan Yuan saw that there was still some food left on the ground, and said with a smile:

"The rest of this is what you kept for me, right?"

Xinia smiled sweetly:

"Of course."

"I've eaten a lot of food, but because it's so delicious, I can eat the rest of it."

"But, I don't think you have eaten yet."

"I want to be by my side and watch you finish eating quietly~"

Xinia knelt beside Xuanyuan and helped Xuanyuan pour juice.

Accompanied Xuanyuan to have a quiet dinner.

Xiao Pai also jumped on Sinia's lap and lay down, rubbing a wave of gentle silver coin feeding and free massage.

After a full meal.

Pour leftovers into the lake and feed the fish.

The large items are cleaned and put away, and thrown into the storage space in the small snap.

Then, Sinia sat on the grass with her body together, surrounded by Xuanyuan, calmly watching the golden afterglow in the distance.

After a while.

With the back of her head, Xinia gently rubbed Xuanyuan's chest and chin:

"The entrance exams for Kajias University will start the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow will be the last day to attack the Sky Tower dungeon."

"I heard that there is a problem with the Sky Tower dungeon, and it collapses and closes down from time to time."

"The local adventurer chapter also fired a male apprentice scholar for this, and that apprentice scholar was really unlucky."

"Because the candidates are still very unhappy, I heard that yesterday the branch president of the local dungeon has also been removed and transferred to other places."

"During this time, you seem to be more idle than me~"

"You've already passed the 9th floor of the Sky Tower dungeon?"

Xuanyuan felt an itch in his chin, and a faint aroma came from his nose.

Raising his hand and touching Sinia's little head, he shook his head and said:

"No, it's on the 9th floor."

"If nothing else, I should be able to get through tomorrow."

Xinia raised her head and curiously poked Xuanyuan's chin with her index finger:

"Are you sure?"

See Shinia in action.

Xiao Pa learned it instantly, jumped directly onto Xuan Yuan's shoulder, waved his small tentacle and threw out a set of crazy demon fists at Xuan Yuan's chin meat, and smashed Xuan Yuan's chin meat violently.

Didn't care about the ineffective attack of the little snap.

Xuanyuan squinted his eyes and stared at the sunset in the distance:

"I'm not sure, and I don't know what's going to happen."

"All you can say is, try it as much as you can."

Xinia stretched out her hand, hugged Xiao Pai in her arms and rubbed her head, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and leaned on Xuanyuan's chest:

"If you don't get the qualification to take the entrance exam, you shouldn't run to another dungeon and leave me alone in Sky City, right?"

Raising his hand to gently scrape the bridge of Sinia's nose, Xuan Yuan smiled:

"Don't worry."

"Even if I don't, I'm going to find someone at Kajias University and study with him for a while, and I have a letter of recommendation from someone else."

Hearing Xuanyuan say this, Sinia leaned on Xuanyuan with peace of mind:

"Great."

"Because, I want to be with you all the time......"

Xuan Yuan didn't reply, just patted Sinia on the shoulder.

After a while, it was getting dark.

Xuanyuan got up to tidy up, and Xinia also took the initiative to help, and together they cleaned up the mess and restored the grass to its original state.

After sending Sinia back to his lodgings, Xuanyuan returned to the hotel alone.

Nothing was said all night.

The time came to the next day.

From time to time, you can see candidates scolding and scolding in and out of the exit.

Xuanyuan knows.

These days, there are always various bugs in the dungeon of the Sky Tower.

For example, one second you are about to enter the treehole save point, and the next second you come back to the last treehole save point.

Or if there is a problem with the level, you can't jump straight up, you have to get out of the tree hole and then re-enter, or you will be directly ejected from the dungeon during the strategy.

There were quite a few adventurers who were injured as a result.

However, there are some benefits that come with risk.

As soon as someone enters, they will automatically jump off the level, and they will automatically jump up one level without a strategy.

Someone just jumped up one step, and then suddenly lost gravity, and floated all the way up to the next level.

Whether you encounter a good bug or a bad bug is all up to your luck.

While scolding, the candidates also kept repeatedly entering and exiting the tree hole, hoping to win the lottery and easily clear the customs like gamblers.

After breakfast, Xuan Yuan sat alone in front of the entrance to the dungeon of the Sky Tower.

Staring at the clock begins to wait for the time to come.

Of all the universities in Sky City, Kajias University has the latest entrance exam date.

After today.

For this year's exam, there are no candidates from various universities in Sky City who need to attack the Sky Tower Dungeon to qualify.

The number of adventurers in the Sky Tower dungeon, which is still being raided, has been reduced by 95%.

Everyone has either reached the target, or they are too far away and choose to give up.

At this time, most of the gamblers who are still going on, except for a very small number of people who are only one step away, are unwilling to accept reality.

Counting the time.

There are only three hours left until the Sky Tower dungeon closes.

Xuanyuan felt that it was almost over, so he got up and walked towards the entrance.

He knew that there was also an extremely powerful monkey inside that could manipulate mechs.

The other party is likely to be squatting on their own.

Fortunately.

Xuanyuan was also prepared.

Standing one step in front of the tree hole, he didn't immediately enter the dungeon.

Instead, he was directly outside the dungeon, recalling the internal structure of the dungeon he had seen before, and slowly closed his eyes.
