"Sect Leader, hungry hungry..." Xiao Hua saw that Chen Muxue hadn't moved for a long time, so she came close and tugged at her sleeve, saying pitifully.
Chen Muxue bent down to remove Xiao Hua's backpack, smiling as she coaxed, "Alright, the Sect Leader will cook now. How about Xiao Hua and Brother Xiao Hu go wash their hands? Xiao Hua has turned into a little flower cat."
After Xiao Hu pulled Xiao Hua inside, Chen Muxue glanced at Xiao Hua's backpack... Goodness, Xiao Hua definitely wasn't a farmer's child. There were very few edible plants in her backpack.
Fortunately, in this world, while one can undergo cultivation, the background is based on the ancient setting of her original world. If it were that Magic Continent, she thinks she wouldn't recognize anything edible.
After throwing away the inedible grass, Chen Muxue took the small backpack and went into the Qian Ding Sect.
She didn't notice that one of the grasses flashed momentarily and then melded into the soil.
Qian Ding Sect is called a sect, but it's actually just a small courtyard built on a mountain. Chen Muxue quickly found the kitchen.
Chen Muxue looked around and found two earthen pots, one of which seemed to have been broken not long ago... She casually put the iron pot she was holding on the stove.
There were several rice urns, and she found the one containing rice, discovering that it was already running low.
She filled an earthen pot with rice but found that there was no water urn in the kitchen.
After a moment of silence, Chen Muxue remembered she had a Water Spirit Root...
How to use it? Chen Muxue tested it out; like casting magic, she used her finger as a wand and muttered, "Ba la la energy, come water!"
Nothing happened.
Although there was no response, Chen Muxue suddenly felt a burning sensation on her pinky finger. Before she crossed over, she had burned her pinky...
Chen Muxue hesitated for a moment and replaced her mock wand, the index finger, with her pinky finger. This was a slightly insulting gesture but more playful than the middle finger...
"Uh, come water!"
Unexpectedly, a clear stream actually surged from her pinky!
Seemingly in tune with something, Chen Muxue's mind stirred, and the temperature of the water flow began to rise!
No way, everyone else crosses over with some kind of system or cheat code, and she crosses over with just a "golden finger"?
"Do you think the Sect Leader will cook wild vegetables boiled in salt water again today?"
In the dining hall, a few malnourished kids gathered and whispered.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hua frowned and stuck out her tongue, "Ah, so bitter, so bitter."
Da Gui's eyes rolled around a few times and said, "Brother Xiao Hu, let the Sect Leader go to the town to buy something!"
Every time the Sect Leader goes to town, she brings back meat buns for them to eat.
Thinking of the Sect Leader's dishes, Xiao Hu's thin face also scrunched up, "But... not long ago, I already asked the Sect Leader to buy condiments... There's nothing really missing in the sect."
Persuading the Sect Leader to buy condiments was already quite difficult, after all, the Sect Leader usually only knows how to add salt when cooking.
These children were still young and hadn't seen much of the world, each looking worried and not knowing what was absolutely necessary.
"Da Gui, don't always come up with bad ideas; the Sect Leader has already worked hard for us, and buying things costs money!" said a dark-skinned, honest-looking child in disagreement.
Da Gui pouted, "I know it costs money, but the Sect Leader's cooking just isn't tasty."
The child with darker skin is called Da Fu. He and Da Gui were brought back by the Sect Leader at the same time, both children orphaned and sold by their uncle and aunt.
Although Da Fu was brought back with Da Gui, he had some distrust towards Da Gui, feeling that Da Gui was too cunning and wasn't a steady person.
Xiao Hua looked left and right; seeing everyone hung their heads, looking very downcast, she blinked her eyes. Xiao Hua didn't like it when everyone was unhappy.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua touched the red string around her neck and suddenly ran towards the kitchen.
"Where is Xiao Hua going?" Xiao Hu asked.
Da Gui sniffed, "Why do you care! Anyway, wherever Xiao Hua goes, she won't get scolded by the Sect Leader."
Xiao Hu scratched his head, thought Da Gui made sense, and did not follow after her.
