chapter 8

The evening sun is like warm silk spreading over the countryside, soft and warm.

　　The sun gradually sank, and the afterglow in the sky was like blood, shining on a quiet field. The distant skyline showed an orange-yellow hue, which formed a sharp contrast with the green on the land, making people feel relaxed and happy.

　　Sparse smoke rises from the village, contrasting with the clouds in the sky, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

　　La la la! La la la!

　　I am an expert in farming.

　　Don't wait until dawn to plant the land,

　　Planting and digging at the same time,

　　Today's weather is really good.

　　Two plots of land can be planted in half a day.

　　La la la! La la la!

　　I am an expert in farming.

　　Running all over the ground in the wind and rain,

　　If you don't walk well, you will slip and fall.

　　The mud all over his body makes people laugh.

　　Only I know what hunger and cold are like.

　　La la la! La la la!

　　I am an expert in farming.

　　Enduring hunger and cold, running around the village,

　　Not eating enough, not sleeping well,

　　Who can I tell about my painful life?

　　One day the light will come.

　　Zun Zun was walking home with Hui Hui, and the two were singing the song that Zun Zun had just adapted.

　　Halfway through the journey, I began to feel something was wrong.

　　If other people knew about this, they would definitely find it unbelievable. One took the person home when they met for the first time, and the other dared to go home with the person when they met for the first time.

　　One dares to lead, the other dares to follow.

　　Fortunately, Zun Zun is not the weird uncle who wants to take the little loli to see the goldfish, otherwise it is hard to say what Huihui will encounter next.

　　No, no, no, she looks smart, she won't be fooled...right?

　　In the forest a little further east from the village entrance, there is a slightly larger farmhouse, which is Zun Zun's home.

　　"Come in."

　　"Thanks."

　　Zun Zun brought Hui Hui into the house.

　　There was no one at home, and her parents were not in the village at the moment. Sister Trapped had become a new and tender girl, and would come back a little later every day. Of course, Zun Zun also intended for her to come back later so that she could spend more time with her friends.

　　At this time, the responsibility of cooking and housework fell on him.

　　He didn't feel any dissatisfaction or disgust because his sister would keep the house tidy every weekend and he just needed to keep it tidy and do some simple cleaning.

　　He gestured to Huihui to rest on the sofa in the living room.

　　As he walked towards the kitchen, he said, "By the way, can we have beef curry tonight?"

　　"Curry! Beef!"

　　The little girl's eyes glowed bright red as she shouted excitedly, "Can I? Curry should be a very expensive spice, and isn't beef a legendary ingredient? Can I really enjoy it?"

　　The corners of Zun Zun's mouth kept twitching.

　　Although the prices of curry and beef are relatively high, they are by no means expensive ingredients that ordinary people cannot afford, let alone they are legendary things.

　　By the way, how poor was her life before?

　　A few sad tears came out of the corners of my eyes.

　　"…You can eat as much as you want tonight."

　　"Really!?"

　　The little girl was looking forward to dinner.

　　I remember the first time Zun Zun cooked dinner for Sister Tao Lao who had worked hard all day, Sister Tao Lao was more worried about whether the food would taste good.

　　But Huihui seems to be different from others.

　　Her criteria for judging food is not whether it is delicious, but whether it is edible. However, when she thought about how she could even eat the hard-to-swallow corn cobs and stalks, Zun Zun was immediately relieved.

　　But, don't worry!

　　Zun Zun's cooking skills are top-notch!

　　In his previous life, when he was forced to live off his savings due to company optimization, his favorite thing to do was to learn how to cook delicious food from chefs on the Internet. He even learned how to make barbecue ingredients from a master and made a lot of profit at the night market.

　　In addition, Zun Zun also discovered that everything he learned was remembered in his mind and did not disappear with the passage of time.

　　This is probably the benefit of plug-ins.

　　Curry beef takes a long time to make because the curry needs to be stewed and the longer it is stewed, the more fragrant the flavor becomes. Soon the rich aroma of the curry fills the entire room.

　　"Yeah, perfect."

　　It will be about time to wait for another thirty minutes. Calculating the time, by that time the sister who was trapped will be back.

　　Zun Zun, who had prepared the curry, just turned around——

　　"Wow!"

　　A pair of bright scarlet eyes came into view, scaring him so much that his whole body shuddered, and the dense cold sweat on his back instantly soaked his clothes.

　　Zun Zun is most afraid of ghosts.

　　But when he saw clearly that the person standing behind him and staring at him was Huihui, he heaved a sigh of relief and his anger gradually rose. He couldn't help but blame:

　　"Meihui! Why are you scaring me?!"

　　"Eh? Oh, sorry, the curry smelled so good that I couldn't help myself."

　　The little girl wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

　　Because the smell was too strong, and Huihui was hungry, it turned out like this.

　　"That doesn't mean you're so excited."

　　Zun Zun couldn't help but complain.

　　The characteristic of the Red Demons is that the more excited they are, the redder their eyes become, which also means that they have entered a state of concentration.

　　"But no, the curry isn't ready yet, and we can't eat until Sister Trapped comes back."

　　This time, Zun Zun did not accommodate her. Instead, he pushed the little Loli's shoulders and walked to the living room to sit down. The little Loli, who was restless, looked towards the kitchen frequently, drooling and sniffing the aroma of curry in the room, as if this would allow her to taste the delicious curry.

　　Just like that, time passed by little by little.

　　As the curry was ready, Sister Taolao also returned home.

　　"I'm back!"

　　"Welcome back, trap sister!"

　　Zun Zun walked up to her and hugged her intimately, and the figure of the beautiful girl wearing the exclusive school uniform of the Crimson Demon Clan came into Huihui's eyes.

　　"Oh, we actually have guests today."

　　Sister Trapped was a little surprised to see Huihui sitting on the sofa in the living room.

　　"Hello, I'm Huihui."

　　The little girl stood up and bowed politely.

　　The serious look quickly captured the heart of the sister, and she quickly stepped forward and hugged the thin Huihui in her arms and loved her dearly.

　　"Um, um... I'm sorry, I'm a little out of breath."

　　"Oh, I'm sorry."

　　It was not until Huihui had difficulty breathing and could not help begging for mercy that the sister who was holding her was released.

　　Huihui stared at Sister Tao Lao, seemingly attracted by her beauty. There was nothing she could do about it, after all, Sister Tao Lao was the top beauty in the Crimson Demon Clan, and she was very popular with both men and women.

　　Many little girls hope to be as beautiful as their older sister when they grow up.

　　Then it's time for dinner.

　　"Wow, it's delicious!"

　　After tasting the curry beef, the sister let out an exaggerated exclamation.

　　Huihui buried her face in the plate and kept stuffing food into her mouth while mumbling something, but I guess it was some compliments.

　　...Huh?

　　Is it that exaggerated?

　　But when he tasted it, he was slightly stunned.

　　So delicious!

　　Zun Zun looked at the ordinary curry beef placed in front of him in confusion.

　　I didn't put any drugs in it, the ingredients used were just ordinary curry and beef, and the cooking method was also mediocre. But it tasted really good, much better than before.

　　Why it becomes delicious is unknown. It can't be because my cooking skills are too good. Then why doesn't it glow?

　　"Another bowl please!"

　　"Well..."

　　Looking at the clean plate that Huihui handed over, which was so clean that you could see a person's reflection in it, Zun Zun was stunned for a moment and then sighed helplessly.

　　"Yes, yes, I'll be right there."

　　The improvement in cooking skills can only be attributed to plug-ins, otherwise there is no reason at all.

　　But it doesn't matter.

　　For him, cooking is just an optional extra.

　　He took Huihui's empty plate and walked towards the kitchen.

12 "So what is our relationship?" "Shh, don't ask, keep eating" [Seeking bookshelf, seeking recommendation]

　　When Zun Zun returned to the table with a full plate of curry beef, he found that Sister Tao Lao was chatting with Hui Hui.

　　"It turns out that he is Uncle Piao Sanlang's child."

　　The sister who was trapped had an expression of understanding.

　　I think she also knows the situation of Piao Saburo's family. No, it's better to say that Piao Saburo is too famous. His glorious deeds have spread throughout the entire Red Demon Clan, making everyone follow his example! ...but it's the other way around.

　　Although the Crimson Devil's Village is in the countryside, it is actually not poor.

　　After all, every member of the Red Demon Tribe is a great magician, and is more than qualified to be a high-level adventurer. In addition, the Demon King's army has left behind many corpses of their companions after constant harassment, and these can be used as evidence to exchange for money at the Adventurer's Guild.

　　Of course, the Red Demons also have other sources of revenue.

　　For example, there are blacksmith shops that forge equipment for people, tailor shops that make clothes for students, adventurers, and nobles, shoe stores, cake shops, and even divination houses like Zun Zun's.

　　Although the Crimson Demons are immature, everything they make is of high quality and is widely praised by adventurers and nobles.

　　Piao Saburo's family makes a living by making magic props. In fact, his craftsmanship is superb and the materials he uses are also top-notch, but the effects of the props are too weird. Over time, no one bought them and they became impoverished.

　　At the Crimson Demon Clan gathering, the clan leader once told him about this, but he said things like "How can a prop master comment on dishes?", "It's not like he's wasting his time", "It's just that there's no one who understands", etc., which made people laugh and cry.

　　When the other villagers in the Red Devil Village saw how stubborn he was, they burst into good-natured laughter, and the whole party was filled with a happy atmosphere.

　　It is already very remarkable that Huihui can survive tenaciously despite such a family background.

　　"Here, eat slowly, there's more."
