Problem Girls Strategy

Picking off the cherry blossom petals and removing the stamens was a very boring and tedious process, but fortunately both of them had quick hands, and with the help of others, it took about an hour to put all the cherry blossoms back together.

"Ah~ Finally done, I'm going to take a break." Huihui stretched and walked out of the kitchen. The next work had nothing to do with her. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, go and take a rest. Pekolim and I will be in charge of the next production."

The subsequent steps are not complicated. Wash the petals and blow dry them with the wind element. Then add sugar and rub them continuously until the petals become sticky. Finally, pour them into the jar, sprinkle with a layer of honey and seal it.

Pekolim's white and tender fingertips were dyed light pink by the cherry blossoms. She subconsciously put her fingers to her nose and smelled them. The soft and delicate fragrance of the cherry blossoms became rich and mellow as the number of cherry blossoms accumulated. She stuck out her tongue and licked her fingertips. The floral fragrance accompanied by sweetness rushed into her nasal cavity along her tongue.

She smiled and stretched out her hand: "Look, my fingers have turned light pink, and the fragrance is so strong. I can already imagine how delicious the flower cake will be when it is made!"

A finger dipped in unmelted white sugar and carrying the scent of flowers was held in front of Jiang Zao. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that she wanted him to taste it, so he grabbed Pekolim's wrist, opened his mouth and put her finger into it.

"Hey?"

What reacted before her brain was Pekolim's face. The redness spread from her neck all the way up, soon making her face flushed. Then it was her heart, beating so violently that the sound was deafening. Finally, it was her brain that was almost short-circuited, controlling her mouth to utter a few meaningless syllables.

"Sorry, I thought you wanted me to try if it was sweet enough."

Even if he explained in time, Pekolim would not listen. She was like a robot that was about to break down. Her mouth opened and closed, making strange noises. The hair on her head was twisted into a knot as it spun rapidly. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted because of excessive shyness.

Jiang Zao hugged Pekolim, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Will this cause her and I to go back to hiding from each other again?

Chapter 354: Mother-in-law is drugged

"Weiwei, do you really want to do this?" Piao Sanlang swallowed fearfully.

"Of course. Do you want to delay the relationship between your daughter and son-in-law?"

"That's not what I meant... But isn't it a bit..."

"Sleep magic." Weiwei didn't want to continue discussing this meaningless topic with her husband. As a mother, as long as it was for her daughter's happiness (having a rich son-in-law), she would not hesitate to turn into a ghost.

If that stupid girl had been more proactive, why would I have to go through all this trouble?

She sighed in disappointment, then adjusted her expression and added the sleeping powder she asked from her husband into the tea. At first, she thought it was a magic prop that could be used to make it work just by shaking it in front of people, but she didn't expect it to be made into powder.

As expected of him, he still does things unexpectedly as always.

After confirming that the tea looked and smelled normal, Weiwei walked out with the tea tray. In the living room, Jiang Zao was awkwardly explaining why Pekolim fainted in the kitchen.

"You all must be thirsty after staying outside for so long. Let's have some tea first."

Everyone thanked him. Weiwei saw that everyone drank the tea mixed with sleeping powder and said suddenly, "The tea just now was mixed with sleeping powder. From now on, I will count to three and you will fall asleep."

"Mom, what are you doing!?"

"Mother-in-law, there's no need to do this..."

"There is also this powder, it's amazing."

"How can you drug a guest?"

"Three, two, one!"

"Boom, boom, boom."

After hearing several muffled sounds, Jiang Zao looked around and found that everyone except him was unconscious. Seeing his mother-in-law looking at him with a smile, he smiled helplessly: "Could it be that only my cup of tea is fine?"

"That's right, you're really smart."

Weiwei did not explain to him the principle of the sleeping powder, and she took advantage of this and deliberately reminded everyone that there was something mixed in the water, making them subconsciously think that they had drunk a drug. When the countdown ended, their resistance to sleep immediately made the sleeping powder take effect.

If any of them were slow or wanted to sleep, her plan would not have gone so smoothly. In order to prevent Pekorim from waking up from her coma, Weiwei cast a sleeping spell on her.

Jiang Zao took the initiative to pick up Hui Hui and said, "I know the procedure. The next step is to go to her room, right?"

"Oh, obedient children are always popular. I am becoming more and more satisfied with you as my son-in-law."

Walking into Huihui's bedroom, Jiang Zao discovered that the only window through which he could escape was blocked by solid ice, and the temperature inside the room was not at all hot and stuffy as it should be in summer, and it was even a little chilly.

"There is only a little powder in her cup of tea. She will probably wake up in two or three minutes. It will depend on your performance then." My mother-in-law said this with a smile, and quickly closed the door and cast the locking magic.

There was only a thin quilt in the middle of the room. Faced with the increasingly cold room, it would not be enough to rely on the quilt alone to keep warm. Jiang Zao's mouth twitched slightly.

Could it be that my mother-in-law wants us to create some heat through friction?

He accepted this good intention on behalf of Huihui first. Anyway, he had already had lunch when picking cherry blossoms, and there was still some time before dinner, so he might as well take a nap.

Jiang Zao originally planned to do so, but when he saw Hui Hui sleeping so soundly, despicable thoughts took over his mind again.

If you don't entertain your girlfriend, your life will be meaningless.

He put Huihui into bed, but instead of holding her in his arms while sleeping as usual, he lay on his side beside her, supporting his head with his hands, and silently waited for her to wake up.

The low temperature and the gradual disappearance of the powder effect made Huihui wake up quickly. She shivered and sneezed several times, hugged her arms and rubbed them vigorously twice: "Why is it so cold?"

"Hey, you're awake, Sleeping Beauty."

She turned her head and saw Jiang Zao lying on his side. She seemed to understand something and also understood the meaning of the word "painful in the balls" that Jiang Zao had said: "My mom again?"

"Yes, this time even the windows are sealed for you."

“A-choo!” Hui Hui squeezed into Jiang Zao’s arms, feeling like she was about to have a runny nose from the cold: “Stop talking nonsense, can you hold me?”

Jiang Zao smiled wickedly: "So what's the price, Huihui."

"You still want benefits? Then I don't want you to hug me anymore." She grabbed the quilt and wrapped herself more tightly, while her body shook like a sieve.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Jiang Zao leaned over to her neck and blew gently. The cold wind seeped into her clothes through the gap in her collar. Huihui had no other way to defend herself except to tighten her neck. She could only let him blow the cold air into her clothes from different angles.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll come after you later?"

"You are occupying the quilt all by yourself now. I am afraid you are too hot. What's wrong with sending you some cool air?"

Hui Hui suppressed her anger and smiled at him: "You don't have to be so considerate, just let me bear this heat for you."

"But I'm your boyfriend, so of course I'm the one who should suffer!" Jiang Zao grabbed a corner of the quilt and pulled it towards herself, but this action was met with strong resistance from her.

The quilt was torn in two during the tug-of-war between the two, and now neither of them had anything to cover their bodies.

Hui Hui kicked Jiang Zao complainingly, motioning him to take his hand away, and then sat down in his arms: "The quilt is broken, are you satisfied?"

"Who knew it would be torn so easily? But I can't hold it like this for long, right?"

"Don't you have any other good ideas?"

Jiang Zao lowered his head and whispered something in her ear, and was immediately hit by her soft little fist with a red face.

"I think you're just trying to take advantage of me!"

"How can such a thing happen? It's not like you haven't done it before. Have you forgotten the sweat you shed back then?"

"..."

Seeing that she remained silent, Jiang Zao knew that she had tacitly agreed, so he immediately turned her around and held her in his arms face to face. He gently kissed her slightly dry lips and began to roll out the dumpling skins.

First, stir the water and flour with your hands. When the mixture feels sticky but does not stick to your hands, you can take out the rolling pin and proceed to the next step. However, before that, you have to smooth out the small bumps on the smooth dough, otherwise it will be difficult to roll out the dough later.

Everything is ready. He presses the rolling pin on the surface of the divided dumpling skin, rolling it up and down first, and then rolling it left and right until one side of the dumpling skin is smooth. This requires Huihui's cooperation, otherwise he cannot do it alone.

Seeing that she was soon exhausted and sweating profusely, Jiang Zao stopped working, used the element of fire to break the ice-sealed window in her confused eyes and left: "The potato chips next door are half price, I'm leaving first!"

Chapter 355: Flannel Balls and Teleportation Magic

When Huihui realized what was happening, she wanted to slap herself a few times. How could she not remember that this guy was an ancient magician? It must be easy for him to break this level of ice. As long as she was willing to pay a small price, she could let him get her out.

How could he be like this now, neither up nor down? He even took the initiative to make him happy for a long time.

She frantically took the quilt that was torn in two pieces and vented her anger in the room. Then she put her clothes in order, walked to the door and easily opened it. Weiwei, who was supposed to be sitting outside the door, got up and left the moment Jiang Zao broke the ice and left.

Although she did not get the expected result, she was relieved that her daughter and son-in-law at least started interacting with each other. She believed that as long as they did it a few more times, she would be able to achieve her goal.

Jiang Zao, who ran away, first went back to the living room and took the sleeping Kailu away. As the recently appointed captain of the emergency fire brigade, she did a very good job. Even though she had just woken up and was a little confused and didn't understand the situation, she could still instinctively start working.

After spending some time putting out the fire, Kailu leaned her head on Jiang Zao's arm and said in a lazy voice with a hint of seduction: "Aunt Weiwei locked you two up again?"

"Well, I guess this kind of thing will happen many times in the future."

“What on earth are you struggling with, Megumin?”

"I don't know. She has been very stubborn and refuses to tell me the answer. She said that she can overcome it. I just need to wash myself and wait." Jiang Zao reached out and caressed Kailu's chin. She hummed with enjoyment like a kitten.

"Is my current state the fluff ball you once mentioned?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you are my girlfriend just like Huihui."

“Humph, you should say such sweet words to Huihui. I won’t fall for it.”

Jiang Zao glanced down at the cat's tail wrapped around his waist and said that Kael should just be in charge of being tsundere, and the tail would tell him the real answer.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I mentioned the teleportation magic to my father-in-law during dinner yesterday. I will go with him to the place where the Red Demon Village is responsible for shipping. There I can observe and study the teleportation magic."

"Is that so..." Kailu reluctantly got up from his arms: "Then you should go earlier, don't delay things."

"Yeah." Jiang Zao kissed her tender face, then bit her furry cat ears, and then left the guest room under her coquettish gaze.

When he returned to the living room, just as he had guessed, everyone had been woken up by his mother-in-law. His father-in-law was also sitting in the living room waiting for him, but looking at his expression, he seemed to have no idea what had happened.

"Jiang Zao, you took a nap for too long. Fortunately, we stayed long enough."

"Sorry, father-in-law, let's just go."

"Father-in-law..." Piao Sanlang was still not used to being called that, and his expression was somewhat awkward. Under his wife's "death stare", he didn't say much, but clenched his fist with one hand and coughed twice: "Let's go!"

"Ah."

On the way to the shipping location in Red Demon Village, Piao Saburo did not chat with his son-in-law Jiang Zao, but just kept on walking. Compared with Goto Ichiri's father, the scene where Goto Naoki could have a normal chat with Jiang Zao was more like the scene that would appear when an ordinary father-in-law faces his son-in-law.

However, Jiang Zao felt relieved when he thought that Goto Naoki was also in a rock band.

As for the band members, except for my lovely Pochi-chan, they are basically all extroverts and super sociable people.

Although the road to the shipping point was only about ten minutes away from their home, Piao Sanlang felt like he had been walking for a day and a night. When he arrived in front of a small warehouse with a red roof, he felt relieved, and the back of the white shirt under his cloak was already soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, Jiang Zao didn’t take the initiative to chat with me, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to say.

Before leaving the house, his wife repeatedly warned him not to talk about magic inventions on his own, lest his son-in-law think that his father-in-law was a weirdo. Piao Sanlang was afraid that Jiang Zao would ask questions on the way. If he didn't handle it well, he might have to take the sleeping magic when he returned.

The lost time can be used to research many new magic items!

"This is the shipping warehouse. I have already greeted the people inside. You just need to go in and watch how they cast the spell. Don't worry about not being able to keep up with the speed. They all know that you are the big boss and will actively cooperate with you."

"Thank you, father-in-law. Well... I'll go in first."

“Well, do you remember the way home? If not, I’ll let Huihui call you then.”

“Of course I remember the way, but please ask Huihui to call me.”

"it is good."

Jiang Zao walked into the warehouse, which was filled with various large and small cardboard boxes. Many of them were floating in the air. They flew to different magic circles in an orderly manner according to the routes. As the magic circles lit up, they were sent to the designated locations.

The red demons who were in charge of teleportation magic were dressed in a very middle school style, mostly in red, black and gold. When they saw Jiang Zao, a stranger, coming in, they nodded to him politely.

The sponsor is here to observe our work, so we must perform well.

Jiang Zao casually walked over to a Red Devil who looked like a fishmonger and smiled at him: "Excuse me, I'm here to observe the teleportation magic."

"No problem." As he said this, he slowed down his movements, and even began to chant a spell to make Jiang Zao feel it more clearly.

Without having time to say thank you, Jiang Zao closed his eyes and carefully sensed the flow of elements and the special substance "spatial positioning anchor point" created by the mixture of the three elements of light, thunder and wind.

When you open your eyes, you will see an almost invisible anchor-shaped outline material at the position of the "spatial positioning anchor point" in your field of vision. From the perspective of perception elements, it is as conspicuous as an extremely bright beam of light in the darkness.

The box that needed to be delivered flew under the anchor point and was then wrapped by it. In the next second, the anchor point broke through the space and left with the goods.

After observing it several more times, Jiang Zao roughly figured out the principle of teleportation magic.

The function of the "space positioning anchor point" is to protect the goods and navigate. It can accurately indicate the direction and ensure that the goods will not be damaged in the broken space turbulence. The same principle applies to human transmission.

The principle of teleportation magic is to fold the two ends of a straight line in half to make them correspond to each other, and then dig a temporary hole at the point. As long as you pass through the hole with the anchor point, you can reach the target location at the other end and achieve long-distance teleportation.

With the basic concepts and practical references, Jiang Zao immediately began to create teleportation magic.

Chapter 356 Hiss~Not Hot

Jiang Zao left the open space next to the small warehouse in despair. After experiencing dozens of failures, big and small, he chose to give up temporarily. It turned out that magic involving space was not something that could be studied easily.
