Chapter 971 - Qian Yidao (1/2)
Father Qin, Mother Qin and Qin Zhong were just in time for the meal to start.
“Looks like we are just in time…son-in-law,” Father Qin smiled.
“Father and mother-in-law, Old Qin, the bowls and chopsticks are here. You can take your seats,” Ye Cang greeted them.
“This is the gift I promised.” Old Qin opened the wooden box to reveal a pair of frogs. There was a mixture of black and white ones. The colors kept on changing but it was always at a 1:1 ratio, nothing more and nothing less.
“The Taichi Frogs…” Lin Liang knew how rare these were.
“Let’s place it in the mushroom forest for some time.” Old Wang received the box and put it down carefully. Lin Liang swung his feathered fan, “I’ve sent them there.”
Old Wang opened the box. They are really gone. This Brother Lin surely is strong.
Smelling the aroma from the shell, Mother Qin asked, “Do you guys always eat such luxurious food?! The food seems expensive. Although I know money isn’t a problem, these are not something you can easily find …”
“Not really. We have a feast like that once every three or five days? It’s just that we have it quite often these days. They are all homegrown.” Ye Cang’s words shocked Father Qin and the rest. Homegrown?
Father Qin took a Napa Cabbage and gave it a sniff. It was aromatic and tempting while its inner part resembled the color of polished jade. “A good dish.”
“Thank you for your compliment. I was the one who planted it,” Lil’Wang smiled. He was the one who volunteered to plant the cabbage when they distributed the work. Taking care of this plant is not too troublesome anyway.
“This celtuce is a good one too.” Mother Qin could not resist the temptation and ate its leaves. It was delicious and did not taste uncooked at all. The freshness of the celtuce gave off the feeling that even the other impurities were purified.
“I was the one who planted the celtuce. Not many know it’s good.” Cao Cao smiled with a cigar in his mouth and sneered at Liu Bei. “Unlike someone who planted maize. Don’t you think I don’t know that you wanted to sew sandals and weave straw mats instead.”
“It’s none of your business anyway. Maize is a treasure of nature. To me, a food that can be eaten and used to sew products is a holy food.” Liu Bei’s words amazed Panty Uncle. Sigh. And I went to plant potatoes. I’ve got to ask Old Brother Liu to spare me some maize fibre next time.
“The Mad Chicken, Père David’s deer and the rest will arrive soon. Please take good care of them yea. Old Huang, don’t forget that you’re the one who wanted to keep the Père David’s deer.” Ye Cang smiled and Huang Zhong replied confidently, “Of course. For the sake of tendons, I, Huang Hansheng will use all my might to take good care of it.”
“Boss, if we are responsible for taking care of the pets, what’s your job?” AV asked.
“To monitor you guys, to check the products and to cook them of course,” Ye Cang said without a thought.
AV sighed and looked at Lil’Wang, “Aren’t you going back to school?”
“I’ll go back to visit my hometown once in a while during the holidays, perhaps.” Right after Lil’Wang said that, SpyingBlade and Fang Ci looked at him in confusion. What the heck are you talking about? You, as a student, speak as if the school is your faraway hometown.
“Lil’Wang, it’s better to focus on your studies. Why don’t you transfer over?” Ye Cang poured himself a bowl of soup.
“Says the one who doesn’t care about his education…” Wu Na was speechless. There are three Kings of Skipping-Classes here. You three have never even stepped into the school this semester. Even your class teacher has to hide from you guys when she sees you three on the street.
“You can say whatever you want but you can’t eat whatever you wish. I have an A+ for Philosophy, alright? Also, I’m a member for the Five Schools Competition. Rumors say that when I get to Year 3, I’ll be the next president of the student council…” Ye Cang drank his soup calmly.
