Yin shi+xiong explained to her that it didn’t mean that she had to always keep an eye on how the kitchen wasfood It meant that when possible, she should sneak in there before the food was ready to check hoas ht, where the rice cas were produced The last andwas to be the last one to eat or even eat the leftovers in so food in an unfa hoas made if she couldn’t cook it herself These were all lessons paid for using blood and sacrificed lives People typically didn’t have all those worries, but for someone in a special line of work, it was of the utmost importance

Gu Nianzhi knew the peculiarities of Yin shi+xiong and the othercould guarantee good habits when they went on missions and help avoid mishaps Over time, Gu Nianzhi was also subtly influenced It wasn’t that she distrusted others, but she had been indoctrinated by Huo Shaoheng and his men’s rules of conduct She couldn’t be at ease without checking herself Also, she was truly hungry and perhaps she would eat anything no matter who it was from

Unfortunately there was no food in the kitchen, and that nun disliked her Gu Nianzhi planned to go out to the river to catch a few fish to cook for the nuns to thank the her in Gu Nianzhi was proud of herself Despite she being treated coldly, she was still going to roast fish for the!

Gu Nianzhi sloalked down the long hallway and didn’t return to her roohtly dark stairway to arrive at the door to the first floor Opening the padlock, she pushed the door and took a deep breath The rain had stopped, and the h ater,the air especially fresh Like the air froh to leave her drunk with oxygen

Gu Nianzhi checked her phone habitually and found there was only 10 battery left She thought she’d better ask Josephine if they had an Apple charger when she got back to recharge her phone Then she could find a way to call Yin shi+xiong and his er trust any of the Gerues were being eavesdropped on She didn’t want to contact the the phone back in her pocket, she walked outside

Although it was no longer raining, there were still soht yet, as the sun hid in the clouds far away It was barely light outside In the earlymist and by forests as far as the eye could see The vieas as beautiful and dreamy as a portrait Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt refreshed at the stunning sight

Taking a deep breath, she cast the prior unpleasantness aside and continued to wear the dirty tennis shoes with her hands clasped under the habit as she strode out through the great iron gates This time, she continued to support herself on one hand and vaulted over the waist-high iron gate Once she walked out, the cement path ended at the asphalt road As she went further, the asphalt road ended, and she was then on a muddy mountain path Gu Nianzhi walked around the rass to make the trek easier She went back the same way she came yesterday and soon saw the small river and the road she fell off the cliff from

All the fish in the river feared Gu Nianzhi but were helpless against her increasingly professional spearing skills She quickly caught several fish and strung theot back, only an hour had passed, and it was a bit past five in theto rouse and ashi+ng up before going to breakfast in the dining room

Gu Nianzhi took the fish directly to the kitchen, and saw the depressed-looking old nun was no longer in the kitchen when she poked her head in The kitchen and oven were empty, so the bread and cake from earlier must have been done by now Gu Nianzhi turned to look down the hallway and happened to see a nun looking down and walking her way Gu Nianzhi called out and the nun looked up It was Josephine, who had let her in last night Gu Nianzhi was very happy and waved at her before asking in English, “Sister Josephine, it’s perfect that you came I wanted to roast these fish May I borrow your kitchen?” Gu Nianzhi knew that Christian nunneries were unlike Chinese ent food like

Josephine noticed her holding the fish and nodded with a slish, “Yes, use it as you please But breakfast is alreadyfor you at your rooht you’d left already”

Gu Nianzhi set the fish down in the kitchen and said gratefully, “Oh? It’s already sent to my room? How can I thank you? I’ll roast some fish for everyone to eat” As she spoke, she had already found a knife to clean the fish During the past few days, she had becout fish, so it was now etable knife As she scaled the fish, she asked Josephine, “How ht five fish, is that enough?”

Josephine laughed “That’s perfect There’s five of us here including Reverend Mother Today she got up early in theto make breakfast and already went back to sleep So there’s only four people to cook for, five including you”

So the old nun who disliked Gu Nianzhi thiswas the Reverend Mother Gu Nianzhi had an idea but quickly suppressed it “Then I’ll roast theets one”

“Ok, you can roast thereed instantly

“Oh? That’s great!” Gu Nianzhi was very happy and quickly prepared the fish She found salt in the kitchen to sprinkle on the fish, then also added a bit of honey and olive oil before setting the tray to push into the oven

Josephine s fish…”

“Yes, I like to fish and roast them back at home” Gu Nianzhi avoided the topic and didn’t continue the subject with Josephine

Last night, Reverend Mother told Josephine that Gu Nianzhi was lying, so she was guarded towards her But seeing and speaking with her now, Josephine thought nothing of it She didn’t care if the girl was lying or not Since there were only five nuns in the nunnery, she didn’t knoas worth sca here It wasn’t Josephine’s business if Gu Nianzhi lied Her ht of this Looking at the roasting fish with great interest, Josephine asked, “How long do we cook them for?”

Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch “Fifteen h” The fish were very tender and would overcook easily Josephine waited in the kitchen with Gu Nianzhi and began to tell her about the various habits of the nunnery Gu Nianzhi listened intently and murmured from time to time, “So only Reverend Mother has a phone here? You usually can’t go online, and there’s not h, so the signal is poor There’s typically no signal” Josephine shrugged nonchalantly “We don’t go online anyway or contact the outside world, so phones and the internet aren’t important to us”

Gu Nianzhi lamented internally She really needed a phone and internet! Looked like she could only borrow a phone from the Reverend Mother Gu Nianzhi then asked about the older nun “You said Reverend Mother was the onebreakfast early today? She was alone?”

“Yes, it should’ve been another sisterReverend Mother said she wanted to make it herself and had her leave” Josephine inhaled deeply The air was fragrant with roasting fish, so it must be delicious Gu Nianzhi also sed hard As expected, using a real oven and adding actual seasonings would make delicious fish!+ When the time was up, Gu Nianzhi opened the oven and used oven old and sizzled with oil, obviously delectable

Josephine’s eyes nearly bulged “Cereus, I didn’t think you’d kno to roast fish so well! This is too perfect! Even four-star Michelin restaurants can’t cook such nice fish!+”
