Chapter 508 - Want to Mess with Her? (2/2)

“Master, Master, set down the pot you’re holding! Let me cook!” The little treant darted over and shouted swiftly in a loud voice.

Last time when Master cooked noodles, she not only cooked through the bottom of the pot but also enshrouded the peach forest in smoke. This almost frightened the sapling into thinking that it had caught on fire.

Master clearly had that all-purpose food box that contained many dishes from various restaurants, but she just liked to cook food herself. It really was an enigma!

However, one time, Qiuqiu distinctly overheard its master murmuring to herself as she carried the small pot, saying, only by cooking something every day could she feel that there were signs of smoke and fire[2]…

This immediately tugged dearly at Qiuqiu’s heartstrings. So Master was missing home.

At this time, Qiao Mu laughed sarcastically and threw down the small pot in her hands, knowing that she was in the wrong.

Nowadays, she found Qiuqiu more pleasing to the eye. It could cultivate medicinal herbs, plant vegetables, harvest vegetables, pick fruits, and now, it could even cook and make a simple stew. It indeed was a useful one.

In any case, it was better than having her cook through the bottom of the pot.

Sigh, when she observed Mother and Shaoyao cooking in the past, they could easily produce several dishes with a casual motion of the hand, but she felt it to be especially difficult when she did it!

She ran to the empty s.p.a.ce behind the peach forest, where the sapling had constructed three large storehouses: one for medicinal herbs, another for harvested vegetables, and yet another one for peaches only.

There were two carriages fully loaded with fruit in front of the storehouse. These were the goods that Second Uncle had gathered with her guidance fee way back then. Even until now, they hadn’t eaten much of the fruit, so these two carriages were still packed full.

Qiao Mu went to pick up a cl.u.s.ter of grapes and snipped off 20 to 30 individual grapes, throwing them into a small basket. Just as she was planning to go wash them by the lake, she halted her footsteps.

[1] Her name is a repeat of the same character. Yuan means ’round.’

[2] Smoke and fire allude to human habitation.
