The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 358 Famous Northeastern Dishes
After saying that, Zhou Muling shrank her neck and shifted her feet from side to side to avoid the attack.

I felt the warmth of the thick coat, and compared to winters of the past... it didn't seem so cold anymore.

Seeing the thick layer of snow piled up on the scaffolding, the village chief sighed inwardly, but knew that worrying would be futile.

As soon as you enter the heated room, the warmth hits your face.

"Aren't you afraid of the cold? I told you to put on your wolfskin coat before going out, but you're so stubborn! Let's see who cares about you if you catch a cold. Do you think you're some big young man?" Aunt Guihua nagged as she used a small broom to sweep the snow off him.

The village chief didn't say anything upon hearing this. He stomped the snow off his feet and reached into his pocket, only to realize that he was out of cigarettes. His mood immediately soured.

He took off his shoes and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), closing his eyes and ignoring everyone. The blisters on his lips made him unwilling to speak.

I just hope that girl is reliable, otherwise...

Hey……!
Su Jiaojiao, who had been on the village chief's mind ever since she left Dahuaishu Village, was not at all surprised when she saw that large group of people as soon as she got off the train. The person in the lead looked sickly and thin even though he was wearing a thick sheepskin coat.

"Ahem... Comrade Su, it's been a long time." Ninth Master leaned on his cane with one hand and covered his lips with a handkerchief with the other, smiling gently at Su Jiaojiao.

Su Jiaojiao was petite, but she didn't look disheveled at all despite carrying large bags. When she saw the big man who came over to help her with her bags, she didn't stand on ceremony and handed them over directly.

"You dare to go out in such cold weather with your health like that?" Su Jiaojiao was genuinely surprised.

If you're saying he's not afraid of death, the way he struggled to find medicine recently doesn't seem like it.

To say he's afraid of death... judging from his sallow complexion, he must have been working hard and staying up all night. After all, even if the efficacy of the pills she refined is a mystery, they are more than enough to cure his illness.

Upon hearing this, Ninth Master smiled with a touch more gratitude. Although he had paid a considerable price, at least he saw a chance to survive.

Who would choose to die if they could live?

Just thinking about the two teacups he had accidentally broken these past two days made him very cautious in everything he did. When he looked at Su Jiaojiao, his eyes suddenly became more profound and inquisitive, but his expression remained gentle. He unconsciously rubbed his cane a couple of times before speaking: "Thanks to Comrade Su, it's possible to go out for a walk on snowy days."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiaojiao immediately smiled, not for any other reason than that the pill she had refined this time was finally the right one for the patient.

Seeing that she was no longer as tense as she had been in previous meetings, her eyes flickered slightly, but this time she was very tactful: "When I went to pick up my mail a couple of days ago, I saw that your things had arrived. Then I heard that Comrade Su was going out to do something important, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help."

He pointed outside and said, "Look, my car is already outside, so Comrade Su doesn't have to make another trip."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiaojiao instinctively wanted to frown. Was he really that kind?
If she hadn't witnessed with her own eyes how he killed Lao Hei and absorbed all of Lao Hei's forces, she would have believed he was a genuine philanthropist.

What kind of important email is it that requires you, a sickly old man, to go out and retrieve it in this freezing weather?
Is this treating her like a clueless little girl?

She realized that this person was the type who wouldn't come to her unless he needed something. He had been reprimanded once before because of the medicine, so this wasn't about this matter.

Tsk~
It doesn't matter. If he dares to cheat me, I'll just drag him out and chop him up. Looking at the sparse snowflakes falling from the sky, Su Jiaojiao smiled innocently: "Ninth Master went out in this state to help me. If I refuse, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"

"Comrade Xiao Su... cough cough cough..." Before he could finish speaking, Ninth Master coughed again.

It's just that the heart-wrenching, bellows-like pain is gone, and the improvement is truly visible to the naked eye.

"Comrade Su, please don't say that. To be honest..." At this point, Ninth Master paused, feeling that this was really not the place to talk business, and then invited, "Comrade Su, why don't we get in the car first?"

Then Ninth Master had the driver go to the post office first to load the greenhouse film that Su Jiaojiao had sent, along with other things prepared by the family, into the car.

Looking at the pile of things that took up a third of the truck, Su Jiaojiao craned her neck to look inside and couldn't help but grin. It didn't look like much stuff, but if it were a tractor or an oxcart, it might not have been able to fit it all.

"Comrade Su, you must have had a long journey for several days and haven't eaten well. Would you do me the honor of treating me to some of our Northeastern specialties?" Ninth Master looked at the man in the bright red floral jacket with amusement.

Because this bright red floral jacket really didn't suit her at all, not that it looked bad...

To be honest, red suits her very well, but... this kind of dress really lowers her natural charm.

Upon hearing this, Su Jiaojiao turned her head and saw the disappointed and teasing look that Ninth Master was giving her, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What does this outsider know?
This comes from her grandmother's love!
"I'm very picky. If it's not up to par, I won't agree." (Meaning: If someone wants something from me, they have to offer something that satisfies me, otherwise, there's no point in discussing it.)
Upon hearing this, Ninth Master chuckled lightly: "To get Comrade Su to grace me with her presence, I've practically given away my entire fortune, all for the sake of winning Comrade Su's favor." (I've already laid down my purse strings; now it's up to you whether you accept it or not.)
To be able to hold this position for so many years with a frail and sickly body, it's safe to say that he used up all his strength to grow his brain; how could he possibly not understand?

Why adopt such a humble stance?
Su Jiaojiao's guard immediately went up, but she didn't show it on her face, and teased with a smile: "Then I have to go see what kind of dish it is that would make Ninth Master bleed so much."
Then Su Jiaojiao was taken to her family's private restaurant, the kind that only caters to acquaintances.

The dishes being served one by one on the table...

Steamed bear paw/Braised deer tail/Braised moose nose: These dishes are made from bear paw, deer tail, and moose nose, respectively.

Three Delicacies of the Earth: Tiger, Bear, and Deer Meat

Orchid Bear Paw...

It's a famous dish, but according to the system, if this were in later times, it wouldn't just mean a life sentence in jail, but rather your great-grandmother beckoning you.

but……

Although it lacked a bit of spiritual energy, it was really delicious, and Su Jiaojiao was quite full.

If you get the chance, let Xiaodu learn how to make it. It'll definitely have a unique flavor if you use monster meat to make it.

"Comrade Xiao Su, I heard you have connections to get grain and some meat!"
