Chapter 91 Xiaobao
Chapter 91 Xiaobao
Yun Ci was awakened by the sunlight.
The young boy woke up groggily and turned to look at Chu Ziming, who was still fast asleep beside him.
She lay on her side and reached out her little hand to pinch Chu Ziming's cheek.
Chu Ziming muttered something and turned around.
puff.
Yun Ci smiled, her eyelashes fluttering.
I do not want to get up.
Yun Ci, perched on the blanket, rested her little face on it and yawned.
Her fair and soft face was flushed.
Yun Ci felt a weight on the blanket and saw Xiao Bai jump onto it.
I reached out and hugged Little White, then stroked its fur.
"Chu mi"
Xiao Bai pointed outside the yard.
Looking at the bright sky outside, Yun Ci suddenly remembered that she still had to sell food today.
He stayed up too late cultivating with that idiot yesterday, and he doesn't even know when he fell asleep.
The young boy yawned and threw back the covers.
He crawled over and gently stepped over Chu Ziming, who was still fast asleep.
Barefoot, I searched for my clothes and put on my shoes on the ground.
When Xiao Hei saw Yun Ci come out, it ran over excitedly.
Yun Ci smiled and said, "Good morning, Xiao Hei."
"Ow"
Yun Ci went to the well to draw water to wash her face and used dental powder to clean her teeth.
Gurgling.
After rinsing his mouth, the young boy heard voices outside the yard, so he went over and opened the door.
The sect disciples waiting outside heard the door open and immediately looked towards the entrance.
When they saw Yun Ci emerge, they froze on the spot.
Because he had just woken up, Yun Ci's clear eyes were still a little dazed. His small figure standing there made them unconsciously hold their breath, afraid to speak loudly for fear of making him cry.
"Yun Ci, you're awake. It's okay, you can sleep a little longer. We just got here, no rush."
An inner disciple looked at Yun Ci and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Yes, yes, Yun Ci, you're so cute."
The outer disciple standing to the side gazed intently at Yun Ci's soft little face, speaking with rapt attention.
Yun Ci, “…”
He's a grown man, no, a future grown man.
Why am I always called cute?
Why did he have such a cute face?!
Yun Ci roared inwardly.
He's so angry, ugh.
Yun Ci stopped thinking and looked at the person who was looking at him with eager eyes.
"I'm not sleepy anymore. I need to get ready first. We'll have to wait a while. There's a table in the yard. You can come in and sit down while we wait."
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.
They all followed the young boy into the courtyard.
There are eight square tables in the courtyard, each seating four people.
The dozen or so people sat at the square table chatting and talking, waiting to buy fried chicken strips.
Yun Ci first went outside to feed the spirit chickens and collected all the spirit eggs.
Back in the yard, I washed my hands.
Set up the stall we used at the last market event on the open space in the lower right corner of the yard.
The long table used for selling food last time was placed next to the stall to hold ingredients and seasonings.
The stall used for setting up a business can hold two pots.
Although I cleaned the pot thoroughly before putting it in the storage bag after using it last time.
But Yun Ci still rinsed it with clean water.
Wash the pot thoroughly, inside and out.
Put oil in a pot, and add a few pieces of firestone underneath to heat the oil.
Yun Ci took out a large basin of marinated chicken strips from her storage ring.
Then take out the breadcrumbs, various seasonings... and arrange them one by one.
"Huh? Kuroko, why are you back so early today?"
Yun Ci saw Hei Zi blink and look puzzled.
Hei Zi goes out very early every morning and doesn't come back all day; he's very busy.
Hei Zi looked at Yun Ci's bright and fair face and said, "I finished my work today and wanted to come back early to help you."
Hearing this, Yun Ci was deeply moved. "Thank you, Hei Zi, you're so kind! But you shouldn't be busy today, you can just sit down."
A smile appeared on Kuroko's dark face. "Okay."
Yun Ci sighed, "Hei Zi is becoming more and more cheerful, completely unlike the gloomy and pitiful little guy I first met."
That way, the haters definitely won't turn evil!
Yun Ci thought happily.
I walked over to the stall and tested the oil temperature with chopsticks. When I saw that the oil was hot enough, I took out some chicken strips and put them on breadcrumbs, coating every part of them with breadcrumbs.
This way, they'll be crispy and crunchy when fried.
Just then, a small figure walked over and called out.
“Yun Ci”.
Yun Ci looked up.
The person in front of me was fair-skinned, but his features were not outstanding. He looked somewhat shy and timid.
"Xiaobao?"
“Yun Ci”.
Yun Ci looked at Xiao Bao happily, and Xiao Bao looked at Yun Ci with equal joy but also with a touch of shyness and timidity.
Xiao Bao is also a disciple of the Miscellaneous Peak. Like him and Hei Zi, he is 15 years old. Yun Ci also met Xiao Bao by chance after transmigrating.
Yun Ci had heard Xiao Bao say that Xiao Bao had been poor since childhood and his family was struggling financially. When he was very young, his father broke his leg while hunting in the mountains. Because he did not receive timely treatment, he developed a chronic illness and could not do heavy work. Whenever his leg hurt, he had to drink herbal medicine and get acupuncture.
Xiao Bao's mother treated him very well. When Xiao Bao was bullied by other children in the village, his mother took a kitchen knife and went to each house to cause trouble. After that, Xiao Bao was never bullied again.
But that incident made the originally shy Xiaobao timid.
The family relied entirely on his mother, who was struggling to make ends meet. Feeling sorry for his mother, Xiao Bao came to the Xuanyuan Sect to become a menial disciple.
The two boys became acquainted after chatting for a while.
Fortunately, the 10 spirit stones that the miscellaneous disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect receive each month are more than enough. With the spirit stones that Xiao Bao sends back every month, Xiao Bao's family is now living a much better life and is even quite wealthy in the village.
However, since Xiao Bao was on the Miscellaneous Service Peak, they rarely met. After Yun Ci was injured last time, Xiao Bao searched for a long time before finally finding Yun Ci's place, and he went to the wrong place several times.
Upon hearing that Yun Ci wanted paper bags for carrying food in the mortal realm, Xiao Bao readily agreed, saying he could bring them back for Yun Ci next time he went down the mountain.
Xiao Bao took out stacks of paper bags from the large cloth bag he was carrying; the paper bags were tied with hemp rope.
After taking out all the paper bags, the cloth bag was immediately empty.
Xiao Bao handed the stack of paper bags to Yun Ci.
Pick up a stack.
Yun Ci's eyes widened. How could it be so heavy...?
Looking at the stacks of paper bags, and then at the gray servant's uniform on Xiao Bao's thin shoulders, wrinkled from the heavy cloth bags.
Then I thought about Xiao Bao's background.
Yun Ci fell into deep thought.
Xiao Bao wiped his sweat, kept looking at Yun Ci, and a shy smile appeared on his face.
Yun Ci, you look so beautiful...
Hei Zi stared emotionlessly at the person in front of Yun Ci, who was wearing the same menial disciple's uniform as him.
He lowered his eyes.
Yun Ci gave her more money last time.
Xiao Bao counted them out to give to Yun Ci, but Yun Ci refused, saying they were too heavy and she should accept them.
Other people might only buy small trinkets, but what he bought filled Xiao Bao's entire bag.
Yun Ci guessed that Xiao Bao was probably only running errands for him this time.
Xiao Bao felt that Yun Ci was helping him, so he decided to help Yun Ci with her work to repay her!
Xiao Bao looked shyly at Yun Ci, who was frying chicken strips.
Yun Ci is so good.
He had always wanted to be friends with Yun Ci.
I've been thinking about this for two months.
But he dared not say it....
......
The chicken strips in the oil were bubbling.
The chicken strips cook very quickly, gradually turning from white to golden yellow, and finally to orange-brown.
The color is just right, the outside is crispy, and the meat inside is very tender.
Gudong.
Gudong.
The dozen or so people sitting at the square table had already formed a long queue.
Smelling the aroma in the air, and then looking at the chicken strips in the oil pan.
"Hey! Do we really want a small portion?" an outer disciple asked.
The small portion only has one piece, not enough to eat.
Another outer disciple looked like he was about to cry, "I only have two spirit stones left."
The inner disciple in front held four spirit stones in his hand, looking at the chicken strips in the pot.
