Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Just as Mai Xiaowen was secretly giving Luo Yi a thumbs up, her stomach rumbled at the most inopportune moment.

"Xiaowen, are you hungry, Roy? Can you eat something now, Xiaowen?"

"Yes, but you can't eat too much oil or salt, and you can't eat spicy food."

"Okay, Xiaowen, you can ask Luo Yi to tow it to my room. I'll make you some pigeon soup to nourish you."

After saying that, Zhang Hao went to the kitchen and began preparing a whole pigeon to nourish Mai Xiaowen.

After watching Zhang Hao walk away, before Mai Xiaowen could even speak, Luo Yi couldn't help but start complaining:

"Dude, you're so shameless! I thought I was shameless enough, and Xiao Hao is only 16 years old. You're breaking the law, do you know that? Sigh, the little cabbage I was saving for my daughter is going to be eaten by you, you pig! Sigh!"

Mai Xiaowen was displeased upon hearing this:

"What do you mean, Roy? Do you think I, Mai Xiaowen, am someone who doesn't understand the law? Have you ever heard of a child husband in China? Uneducated, and you're still leaving one for your daughter? If I don't take action, that older woman Luna will take advantage of me."

"Fine, fine, you're shameless, but you still think you're right. Alright, alright, lie down properly. I still need to prepare Xiao Hao's room for you. I'm exhausted."

Chapter 47 Medicinal Pigeon Soup

As Mai Xiaowen happily moved into Zhang Hao's room, Zhang Hao also went to the kitchen to look at the pigeons in the refrigerator.

"Sigh, it's a pity it's not fresh. This makes the nutritional value much lower. I guess I'll have to see if 9527 has any fresh ingredients."

But now that there's only this one frozen pigeon, Zhang Hao can only think of other ways to add more nutrition to this soup.

He skillfully moved a stool, climbed onto the kitchen shelf, and found a jar of goji berries that Weilong had secretly hidden in a small corner. Last time Weilong hid it, Zhang Hao happened to see it, so he immediately spit on Zhang Hao's face, begging him not to tell anyone.

"Xiao Hao, please don't tell anyone, especially not Terry. He heard somewhere in America that eating goji berries can build muscle, and he ate a whole jar of my goji berries as a snack. No matter how much I tried to persuade or explain, it was no use, sob sob sob."

Seeing Weilong clinging to his leg and whimpering, Zhang Hao immediately made a pinky promise with him. But since it was for Xiaowen's health, there was no way to refuse.

Zhang Hao also managed to get some astragalus and codonopsis from Weilong. It has to be Weilong; the drop rate is always highest with him. These are all good stuff. I heard that he specially brought them back every time he went back to China.

In contrast, Mai Xiaowen's room only contained the latest comic book collections and cucumber-flavored potato chips, which she claimed were the best in the world!

Unable to find angelica and longan, Zhang Hao had no choice but to give up. He then took a few red dates and began preparing to cook pigeon soup.

The method for making this pigeon soup is indeed simple. Just clean the pigeon and put it in a pressure cooker with these medicinal herbs for 2 hours. After cooking, add goji berries and a little salt to taste. Since Roy said not to use too much oil, we will skim off some of the oil on the surface later.

Zhang Hao placed the thawed pigeon and the medicinal herbs together, added an appropriate amount of water, covered it, and pressed the button for 2 hours. This time, even the most troublesome part of processing the pigeon was saved; now all he had to do was wait a while.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

Unlike the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the Special Operations Department, after Reis returned to Longbow Valley, he flew into a rage at the King's Hotel, leaving even his trained personal guards standing by trembling in fear.

"You bunch of useless idiots! Two cars couldn't even stop one person! Are these guys all good-for-nothings? You! You're the one who should take a team and replace those people! If you can't even handle anything right, get the hell out of here!"

The subordinate he pointed to, instinctively confused, pointed at himself:

"Me? Lord Reis, what will happen to those people if we go?"

"What to do? Get rid of them. I'm not going to use my money to raise useless people. These people are just a waste of food."

“But Lord Reis, they are not from the Hafk Group, they are also Asara…”

"Damn it, isn't this annoying? Is Asara short of people? If they really are, why don't they just grab some women and have sex with them? With so many problems, can you even do your job? If you can't, then don't waste resources here."

Reis glared at the machine gunner in front of him. He was already annoyed enough, and this idiot was still asking questions. Reis almost couldn't help but get up and elbow him.

"Get lost, getting lost, just seeing you brings me bad luck."

Reis lay on an oversized sofa, opened a bottle of champagne and poured it into an Assara specialty glass. He then took out a cigar, lit it with a solid gold lighter, and after puffing away for a while, Reis said to his underlings behind him:

"Bring me the phone."

Upon hearing Reis's order, the soldier didn't dare to delay and quickly retrieved the phone from the back table and handed it to Reis. After receiving the phone, Reis dialed a number, his expression completely different from before.

"Hey, what's up, Reese? Why are you calling me today?"

While still in the manager's office, Said saw the phone call from Reis and assumed it was just another one of Reis's boredoms, inviting him to his estate for drinks.

“Said, I ran into that brat on the wanted poster.”

Upon hearing Reis say that he had seen Xiao Hao, Said's heart skipped a beat. He tried to remain calm and asked:

"Oh? So you've caught him now?"

"No, I'm just reminding you this time. This kid is really strange. He's so young but he can fight me to a standstill. No wonder the Hafk Group was willing to pay a high price to capture him."

Upon hearing that Zhang Hao hadn't been captured by Reis, Said, far away at the dam, breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Reis's strength; even if he tried, he wouldn't gain any advantage. Besides, Xiao Hao was so young, how could he possibly...?

While still thinking, Said was momentarily stunned. Zhang Hao? Weird? Could he really hold his own against Reis? So much information rushed into his brain at once, it practically overheated Said's CPU.

When Reis heard no response from the other end for a while, he assumed that Said suspected him of lying, and quickly explained:

“Old Sai, we’re allies, after all. I would never lie to you. The reason I’m calling you this time is twofold: first, to let you know in case you run into him and get hurt; and second, to tell you that I don’t think we should accept the 5000 million. If he really lets it go back to Hafk, it will definitely make liberating Asara even more difficult for us.”

"So, what you mean is?"

Although he knew what Reese was trying to do, Said couldn't help but chime in.

"Whether it's you or me who gets caught, I suggest we kill him outright. If we don't get rid of him, he'll definitely become a major threat in the future."

Reis said quite seriously.

Said: A major threat? That's your major threat, what does it have to do with me? This is my precious strategist, he must not be allowed to live. It seems you really can't be allowed to live any longer, you actually went after Xiao Hao. I'll remember you this time.

"Okay, don't worry, we're allies, for Asara's sake!"

Despite his thoughts, Lao Sai clearly felt that his mind and thinking had become much sharper after being educated by Zhang Hao. Now he has even started to gather teachers to give lessons to those children and those who are willing to learn, and he can also help him handle those official duties in the future.

Lao Sai: Hmph, I've got a brain now, and that black gorilla Reese can't compare to me.

"Hahaha, good brother, you're right, for Asara's sake! Want to come over for a couple of drinks tomorrow?"

Reis was delighted after receiving Said's assurance. In his eyes, Said was a heartless revenge machine, and it was best to keep such a brainless person as his underling, since he was the smartest man in all of Assara.

"No, there's been a lot of work on the dam lately, so I'll leave it at that."

Said didn't want to argue with him any longer, so after hanging up, he quickly called Zhang Hao.

"Hey Xiaohao, did you run into Reis? Are you hurt? What's with him saying you're a good fighter?"

As soon as Zhang Hao answered the phone, Said's questions came flying at him like cannonballs. There was no other way but to repeat everything, but he kept the matter of "Zero" a secret, saying it was his little secret.

"What! He beat you so badly you vomited blood! Damn it, Reis! Don't worry, Xiao Hao, once we kill Hamk, Reis will be next!"

When Said heard that even his strategist had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood, he was furious. He had been afraid of scaring Zhang Hao when he first saw him, and this Reis was indeed a gorilla.

"Xiao Hao, take good care of your injury. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll extort some money from Reis for you. My dad taught me some folk remedies before. Do you want to come here and I'll try them on you?"

"Alright, alright, Uncle Said, don't worry about it anymore. We have a doctor here, and my injury isn't serious, so don't worry."

When Zhang Hao saw that Said had started muttering to himself again, he quickly stopped him and left with a random excuse.

"Phew, Uncle Saeed is so enthusiastic! I first met him while playing games, and he was just as enthusiastic. He rolled over and fired two shots at me, and I fell asleep. Hmm, the soup is almost ready. Just add salt and goji berries and simmer for another five minutes."

After adding the soup, Zhang Hao carried the bowl towards his room.

Chapter 48 My Mom is Generous

Just as Zhang Hao was carrying the pigeon soup upstairs, Wei Long, who had been lying in bed, smelled a rich aroma, which made him very hungry, and his stomach immediately started to rumble.

So Weilong decided to go out and check what was going on. Although Shenlan's cooking was also very good, only Xiaohao could probably make it with this kind of aroma. Besides, it was only 11 o'clock. Shenlan wouldn't be cooking this early.

Just as Zhang Hao reached the door of Red Wolf's house, Wei Long, who was in front of him, opened the door and poked his head out. He saw Zhang Hao holding a bowl of pigeon soup and staring blankly at him.

Weilong: I'm so touched! Xiaohao always makes me soup when I'm injured. I'll definitely drink it all!

Zhang Hao: ? ? ? What's Brother Weilong doing? Why are you blocking the way without saying anything? I need to take it to Sister Xiaowen.

"Oh, Xiao Hao, you're too kind. Every time I get injured, you make me soup. Let me see what it is this time? Wow, pigeon soup! Waaah, Xiao Hao, I'm so touched."

Under Zhang Hao's shocked gaze, Wei Long quickly stepped forward and took the soup from Zhang Hao's hand. After glancing inside, he almost drooled, and then looked at Zhang Hao with teary eyes.

"Um, Brother Weilong, please put away your gratitude first. This is a nourishing stew I made for Sister Xiaowen. I didn't know you were hungry, but if you keep this for yourself, I think you'll have to go find Roy again after Sister Xiaowen recovers."

Seeing Wei Long frozen in shock, Zhang Hao quietly went over and took back the pigeon soup. After glancing at Wei Long, he continued walking towards his room.

"Oh no, my image in front of Xiaohao is ruined! Will Xiaohao always think I'm a gluttonous older brother? Oh no!"

The thought of his image being ruined in Xiao Hao's eyes filled Wei Long with intense shame, making him forget his pain for a moment. He resolutely closed the door, climbed into bed, drew the curtains, and covered himself with the blanket.

"It's okay, it's okay, it must just be a dream. I'll be fine after a nap. Yes, yes, I need to take a nap. I must have been hallucinating because I didn't sleep well last night."

Just as Wei Long was hiding under the covers, deceiving himself, Zhang Hao had already brought soup to the door. At that moment, Mai Xiaowen was greedily replenishing her energy on Zhang Hao's bed. When she saw the door open, she quickly changed to a weak appearance.

"Xiaowen, I've made you a bowl of pigeon soup. Drink it while it's hot."

Smelling the aroma of the pigeon soup, Mai Xiaowen's already empty stomach began to rumble in protest again. But Mai Xiaowen didn't care about that now. After Zhang Hao set up the bed table for her, she couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup.

"Mmm~ Great! Hao Hao, your cooking is really amazing."

After tasting the broth, Mai Xiaowen couldn't help but praise Zhang Hao. The broth was incredibly flavorful, perfectly capturing the freshness of the pigeon. She picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, and with a little effort, the meat easily separated from the bone. She took a bite, and mmm~, the meat was tender and juicy, with a rich, meaty aroma. Combined with the neutralizing effect of the medicinal herbs, there was no fishy taste at all.

"Hey, Hao Hao, come and eat too. You've worked so hard making this soup for me. Come on, open your mouth."

After a while of feeding, the big bowl of pigeon soup was completely finished.

Mai Xiaowen: Hmm, who is such a lucky woman! I'm so envious. Oh, it's me.

After eating and drinking her fill, Mai Xiaowen gradually started to feel sleepy, and her body felt warm after finishing the soup.

"Little Hao Hao, can you give your sister a good afternoon kiss? I'm a little sleepy."

Seeing Mai Xiaowen begging for a kiss, Zhang Hao smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

Good afternoon, Xiaowen.

"Ah."

Mai Xiaowen herself didn't expect that, even though she was in better spirits than yesterday, she would blush with embarrassment. She slowly moved down to lie down, covered her head with the quilt, and buryed her head in the sand like Wei Long.

Mai Xiaowen: (*≧︶≦))(￣▽￣* )ゞ

Seeing that Mai Xiaowen had gone to bed, Zhang Hao thoughtfully drew the curtains, carefully went out and closed the door, only to see Shen Lan walking over with a smile on her face.

Shen Lan walked straight up to Zhang Hao, picked him up, and spun him around, saying cheerfully:

"Xiao Hao, you and Wei Long, Xiao Wen are really the apple of your eye in China. This morning I got a notice that the higher-ups were unwilling to allocate a batch of supplies, and they actually said that it was entirely our own fault. I was so angry that I almost booked a plane ticket back to fight them."
