After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 295 What Pei Yuanshi Did

Their clothes were ruined, and naturally, the food on the table that hadn't even been touched was also destroyed.

The old Taoist priest rushed over upon hearing the news, and was so heartbroken that he stomped his feet in distress.

However, they dared not say anything disrespectful.

He simply said, "May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings. Dear believer, please have some tea and snacks to fill your stomach. This old Taoist priest will arrange for a new meal to be sent to you right away!"

As he spoke, he took out a food box containing snacks.

Inside were a serving of red date cake and a serving of yam cake.

Song Lan tried a piece and thought it tasted pretty good.

"Did the abbot do this himself?"

The old Taoist priest quickly waved his hand: "That's not true!"

Song Lan assumed that the old Taoist priest had bought it from somewhere down the mountain and was about to ask which shop it came from.

I'm thinking of buying some more to take back with me when I go back.

"This is my rather useless and foolish apprentice. He learned to make it this afternoon. His skills are not yet proficient. I hope you don't mind!"

"Oh?"

Song Lan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that Master Pei would have such good skills."

She said, seemingly jokingly, "Then won't I be in for a treat from now on?"

"The believer is now his employer. He is already very honored that the believer does not mind his clumsy hands and feet and is willing to let him do his part."

The old Taoist priest spoke politely, subtly praising Pei Yuanshi.

"That kid is such a disappointment!"

“He told me when he came back that he clearly had the contract in his hand. Before he left, I repeatedly told him that after he found Madam Song, he must listen to me and do his job properly.”

"Only in this way can we live up to Madam Song's tremendous help to our Longevity Temple!"

"But that kid, he's got his own ideas, acts on his own, and thinks he's all that!"

"Luckily, it didn't delay Madam Song's important matter, otherwise I would definitely have given him a good spanking." Song Lan laughed meaningfully after hearing the old Taoist's words.

"Since you don't mind his skills, feel free to ask him to do as much as you want! This rascal has plenty of strength, so don't worry about him!"

"If he dares to disobey you, just give him a good spanking!"

When Pei Yuanshi came over carrying the food box, he heard his master say these words.

His face was as black as ink, and he called out in a deep voice, "Master!"

Old Taoist: ……

Why do I suddenly feel a cool sensation on my neck?
This wicked disciple is probably plotting to betray his master and ancestors again.

The old Taoist glanced at Pei Yuanshi, guiltily touched his nose, cleared his throat, pretended nothing had happened, and didn't respond.

Pei Yuanshi was already familiar with his master's nature; he was a master at playing dumb, so he didn't bother arguing with him.

He took a bowl of clear soup noodles out of the food box.

"We've run out of ingredients we bought this morning, so we'll probably have to borrow some from the farmers down the mountain. Dinner will probably take a while longer."

Pei Yuanshi seemed somewhat shy, as if he wasn't good with words: "Shanxin..."

He pursed his lips slightly and changed his form of address: "Miss Song, have a bowl of noodles first, to tide you over."

Song Lan couldn't help but tease, "Was that also made by Master Pei?"

"Hmm..." Pei Yuanshi gave a shy, low hum.

Song Lan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to give it a good try."

Despite it being a perfectly normal conversation, Pei Yuanshi subconsciously recalled what happened at the Zhang family's haunted house, and his ears quietly turned red.

Song Lan simply ate her noodles in a very serious manner.

Pei Yuanshi's skills still have room for improvement.

The dough was kneaded with plenty of force, resulting in a chewy texture and a rich aroma.

It wasn't bad.
