Chapter 173.2 Parallel World (5)
The ingredients had indeed been delivered. Cleaned fish and meat had been placed in the kitchen.
These ingredients had originally been meant for Zhou Ji so naturally were the best quality ingredients. This was especially the case for the fish because Zhou Ji liked fresh fish that had only just been freshly killed.
“I didn’t think that there would be fish! It just so happens that I brought some pickled vegetables with me. I’ll make you pickled vegetable fish.” Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye had never heard of pickled vegetable fish, but he agreed anyway.
Zhou Ji made a full pot of pickled vegetable fish, then stir-fried the meat with the oil he’d brought. He also fried broccoli with garlic puree, then made several vegetable dishes.
As for the staple food, Zhou Ji made rice. When boiling the rice, he added a steam rack on top and prepared a bowl of steamed eggs.
Five full dishes were placed on the table, and Xiong Ye was stunned by the sight, “Why did you make so many dishes?”
“I have to show you what I can do if I want to stay in the Big Bear Tribe.” Zhou Ji laughed and said, “In fact, the reason why I can live so well in the Beast God Temple after my father’s death is somewhat related to my cooking.”
“The food you cook is so delicious. Are they really willing to let you go?” Xiong Ye couldn’t help but ask. He felt that if he was the High Priest, he would never let such a good cook go.
“They’ve already learned it.” Zhou Ji laughed, “It’s not hard to learn these things.”
So it turned out to be like that. Xiong Ye didn’t ask any further and started to eat.
Someone came over while the two of them were eating. “Bear Beast King, we heard that you moved here and came for a visit.”
The two old Beast Kings came in following the sound of their voices.
Because houses here had no windows, or the windows were usually all very small, people of this era generally left the door open for light during the day.
Not only that, the houses built during this era were often all built facing south so that every room could have daylight streaming in.
When Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji were eating, they left the main door open. When the two Beast Kings came in, they saw Zhou Ji immediately.
Their footsteps paused.
They had already known about the fact that Zhou Ji wanted to follow Xiong Ye, and had already spent a night accepting the fact. However, they still felt a little shocked when they saw it personally.
But these two Beast Kings were old and experienced. They didn’t lose their composure and instead, they asked, “Who is this?”
Xiong Ye stood up to greet them. Hearing them ask about Zhou Ji, he replied, “This is my friend Zhou Ji.” He even introduced Zhou Ji to the two Beast Kings.
The two old Beast Kings: “……” It was already a big deal that he addressed the Beast God by name, but he even called him his friend…
Of course, what shocked them even more was that the Beast God actually smiled at them, “Good morning, Ape Beast King, Ox Beast King!”
Out of these two Beast Kings, one of them had a great ape animal form, and the other’s animal form was an ox.
The Ape Beast King was a man while the Ox Beast King was a woman. Both of them were about the same age, and their faces were covered with wrinkles.
Now, the wrinkles on their faces crowded together even more. Their smiles were slightly stiff on their faces, “Good morning to you too.”
Zhou Ji stopped talking. The two Beast Kings remembered that he wanted to keep things secret and didn’t dare to speak with him more. They even started to worry that they might have offended him by rashly coming over.
Finally, the Ape Beast King spoke up, “Bear Beast King, I didn’t think that you would be so good at cooking!” Could it be that His Majesty the Beast God wanted to follow the Bear Beast King because of his cooking?
“I didn’t make this, Zhou Ji did.” Xiong Ye said. “Would you like to join us?”
These dishes had actually been made by His Majesty the Beast God? The two Beast Kings were stunned and couldn’t wait to sit down and have a taste. However, they were afraid that Zhou Ji would be unhappy and could only look towards Zhou Ji while saying, “How could we do that?”
“It’s alright. You can have some, too.” Xiong Ye stood up and served food to the two Beast Kings.
He wasn’t like Shi Li who liked to make friends all the time, but he was willing to build a good relationship with the other Beast Kings. This was especially the case since he and Shi Li were going to split up.
Zhou Ji knew what Xiong Ye was thinking and supported him doing this, so he naturally had no objections.
The Zhou Ji in his dream had only cooked for Xiong Ye because he liked Xiong Ye, but he himself was different.
In any case, he’d already made the food. Letting others have a taste didn’t matter.
After Zhou Ji came to the Beast God Temple, the people of the Beast God Temple had begun to use chopsticks. The two Beast King’s skill with chopsticks was very good.
The Ox Beast King liked to eat all kinds of plants. She’d never seen broccoli before, so she was very surprised by the taste when she used chopsticks to take a bite.
This type of plant that she’d never eaten before tasted extremely good!
The Ox Beast King began to try the other dishes.
As for the Ape Beast King, he first tried a bite of a meat dish.
Zhou Ji had added cumin to this stir-fried meat dish.
He’d given the Beast God Temple many plant seeds and taught them many farming methods, but he hadn’t let the people of the Beast God Temple plant this kind of seasoning. He felt that the development level of the current Beastman Continent wasn’t far enough along for them to start pursuing delicious food.
Of course, he could still use it for himself.
Therefore, the Ape Beast King and Ox Beast King were able to eat many things that they had never eaten before.
The two Beast Kings wanted to immerse themselves in eating.
Eating the food made by the Beast God would definitely bring them blessings!
However, it just so happened that… the Beast God’s food hadn’t been made for them. They didn’t dare to eat too much.
