Chapter 28: Encounter with Someone of the Same Path (1/2)

“Qing Yin?” Only after spitting for quite a while did the strange taste in her mouth disappear a little. Seeing that Qing Yin was still dazing out, Tang Doudou went over and patted her shoulder.

“What are you dazing out for ah! Let’s go, tell me where you guys’ kitchen is? This Mi…… Mister will make something tasty for you!”

“Kitchen?”

“Yeah! You better not say that in this huge garden of yours you don’t even have a kitchen!” Tang Doudou pulled the outer robe from the tree and put it on in a leisurely and easy-going manner. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she pulled Qing Yin’s little hand and headed towards the outer courtyard.

Qing Yin was already a little displeased with him, yet she couldn’t ward off his cordialness. Thinking again, the person was a guest. Satisfying the guests’ requests was her duty from the start. Right now, Tang Doudou wanted the kitchen, so she could only lead her there.

Actually, Qing Yin was also curious as to what kind of tasty things she would be able to make.

“There is a kitchen, but it hasn’t been used in a long time.”

Tang Doudou was surprised: “Your Master doesn’t eat?”

Qing Yin replied: “Everything Master eats are prepared by Meng Yu jiejie* in the small kitchen.”

姐姐 – “jiejie” Older sister, can be used to address people not blood related

“Small kitchen? This Baili Yu sure is something! To actually use special treatment! Then don’t you guys eat?” She remembered that in the past apparently masters and servants could not eat together!

Qing Yin smiled: “We as servants naturally eat Master’s leftovers.”

“Pei! Baili Yu has that much money yet he’s still this miserly! Such exploitism!” Tang Doudou angrily said. From the corners of her eyes she saw Qing Yin’s small pointed chin underneath her veil and couldn’t help but feel heartache: “Look at your pitiful little face, your chin is already starved to the shape of a cone. Looking at this makes my heart ache.”

She reached out and was just about to stroke Qing Yin’s face.

Seeing this scene in front of her eyes, Qing Yin recalled the event in which Tang Doudou wanted to sleep together with her and Qing Yin’s face immediately paled. An audacious thought appeared in her head, this Li Xueyi couldn’t have taken a fancy to her, right?

She immediately flung away Tang Doudou’s hand and said, helplessly panicking: “I’ll bring gongzi to the kitchen area first! If it truly cannot be used then this servant will try to think of some other idea!”

After she finished saying so, she ran as if escaping. In a blink her figure was gone.

Tang Doudou bit her tongue. Didn’t she agree to bring her to the kitchen? Running that fast, how is she supposed to follow?

Forget it, do it yourself and you’ll have ample food and clothing!

Let’s search!

Not to mention, Qing Yin in her panic ran very far and only recalled now that she had even forgotten Tang Doudou.

When she turned back to look, the original place was absolutely empty and she didn’t know where the person ran off to.

Forget it, just let him explore for a while. The garden is so big after all, once he’s tired he’ll come back.

Just as she was going to walk forward, Qing Yin suddenly stomped her feet. Oh no!

Master said he would be coming over today. If Li Xueyi charged to where Master was, wouldn’t that be bad?

Thinking of this, her little face paled again and she hurriedly rushed off to find Tang Doudou.

On another note, Tang Doudou currently felt like her head was about to explode. For this ancient courtyard to be built so large was already enough, yet the scenery was all nearly the same. Just walking around a few times was enough to make a person dizzy.

Seriously this Baili Yu! If the garden is going to be so big find more servants ah!

After walking half the day she still couldn’t even see a ghost of a figure.

“Ah…… Someone hurry up and show up. Beanbeans is about to starve to death!” Tang Doudou was hungry to the point stars were swirling in front of her eyes and her legs were going soft.

Sprawled out on her back, she collapsed on the large road. Tang Doudou shouted out two times, then she didn’t even have the energy to groan.

That damned Baili Yu. Bring her here was probably just for the sake of starving her to death.

Jesus!

As a foodie, to be starved to death is seriously too cruel!

Just as she was mourning for her stomach, she suddenly heard the sound of guqin coming from far away. Tang Doudou froze for a moment, then hurriedly got up from the ground and started walking in the direction of the sound.

After walking for a short while, she saw a courtyard appear in front of her.

Eh, she’s finally walked to a different-looking courtyard. Tang Doudou raised her eyes and looked at the courtyard signboard. Inscribed on it were three words.

It was helpless. She couldn’t even recognize a single one and could only faintly make out that the one in the middle was a ‘snow’ character.

That guqin sound was coming precisely from this courtyard.

If there’s the sound of a guqin, then there definitely is a person. There’s no way a ghost would be playing guqin in broad daylight, right?

Thinking to the point that there’s someone here, Tang Doudou was unable to hold on and energetically ran inside. In the end, she still didn’t see even half a person.

Under the scorching sun, there was suddenly a burst of chill. It couldn’t be, that it’s really a ghost?

Eeek, scary!

Turning back, just as she was about to run back out, the savory scent of meat suddenly drifted through the air……

Her nose twitched. Quite certain that this was the scent of meat, Tang Doudou’s eyes immediately emitted light, wah! It’s really the smell of meat! Pure and unadulterated deer meat…… That’s the savory fragrance only described in the legends, so touched……

Tang Doudou swallowed her saliva. Damn, she can’t go on, she must go eat the meat!

“Hello? Anyone here?”

“If there’s no one can I’m going in~”

Sneakily searching by following the scent of that meat, her voice was quiet to the point that only she herself could hear it.

Fortunately, this courtyard was much smaller than the large garden outside. Very soon, she found the house that was emitting that savory deer meat fragrance. This building looks like a kitchen ah!

Could this be the kitchen Qing Yin talked about? Didn’t she say that no one uses it?

Tang Doudou pushed the door open a crack and peeked in with suspicion. Her face lit up with delight, as expected it was a kitchen!

Looking again, no one’s here!

Then what are you still waiting for! Tang Doudou smoothly slipped into the kitchen and closed the door.

Wah! Wah! Wah……

It’s excellent! It’s neat and tidy, everything that should be here is here. A little pot of deer meat was set on top of a high quality charcoal fire and carefully simmering. Lifting the lid, a ‘gulugulu’ still bubbling rich fragrance wafted upT/C. Tang Doudou took a deep inhale. This is the taste! Refreshing!

Even though the heat control was still not quite there and it would be even more fragrant after a while longer, Tang Doudou was already uncontrollable hungry, so where would she have the mind to care about that much? Let’s eat first and think again later!

Haahoohaahoo*, the fresh and tender deer meat slipped into Tang Doudou’s stomach one by one. One bowl after another, she drank down the thick soup. Not long after, the meat in the pot was gone and the pot bottom could be seen, yet Tang Doudou still desired to continue.

Sound of inhaling and blowing out with your nose and your mouth.

After eating, her brain also started working better. She held her chopsticks between her teeth and they lifted and lifted as she thought. She ate all of the meat……

But what’s she gonna do ‘bout this pot?
