Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

"Pah, pah..."

The sound of wood burning in the flames of a campfire.

A few sparks shot out and quickly disappeared.

Above the bonfire, a wooden rack was propped up, with several roasted chickens roasting in the flames. The fat on the surface seeped through, and the whole chicken seemed to be golden.

The aroma of chicken mixed with the aroma of unknown seasonings spread all around as it was roasted by the flames.

"Da da, da da..."

However, Dongfang Qinlan could no longer sit still, so she stood up and paced around the campfire. The girl's eyes were fixed on the roasted chicken, and her bright eyes seemed to have nothing else in them.

"Is it done? Is it done?"

Dongfang Qinlan inhaled the smoke of fireworks with her small nose and couldn't help but ask Su Mu, who was constantly turning the wooden frame, urgently.

"It's still a while, don't worry."

Su Mu raised his eyes and looked at Dongfang Qinlan circling around a chicken coop like a weasel, and found it quite funny.

You know, when he first suggested having roast chicken for lunch, the little girl looked reluctant, but now she can't wait.

Originally, we were going to have lunch at Dongfang Huaizhu's place, but on the way, we met a servant from the villa carrying a few hunted pheasants.

The pheasant looked plump, so Su Mu's appetite was aroused. Thinking that he had found a lot of seasonings recently, he thought of making a roast chicken.

After all, the taste of food in this world is really unremarkable. Even the eldest and second daughters of Shenhuoshan Villa, although the food they eat every day is rich in variety and quite nutritious, it is basically cooked without any seasoning.

Of course, at the beginning, the natural ingredients combined with the smoky aroma of wood burning tasted unique, but if you eat it like this every day, it will feel a bit bland.

Before, he had intentionally collected some seasonings, such as star anise, dried chili peppers, etc., and then ground them into powder. He kept them on hand. Today, when he saw the fat pheasant he had hunted, they came in handy.

"Hurry up, hurry up, silly boy, hurry up."

Dongfang Qinlan came to Su Mu's side at some point, urging him anxiously, and the girl's small hand grabbed his arm and shook it.

The girl's hands were soft and a little cool.

The flames burned, and the aroma of food dissipated, but the girl's fragrance also fell into the nose along with the taste of the food. Compared with the taste of the food, it had a more youthful and attractive smell.

"Okay, that's almost it."

Urged by Dongfang Qinlan, Su Mu took a roast chicken off the rack and tore off one of the chicken legs.

Dongfang Qinlan couldn't wait any longer and took it immediately. Then she opened her mouth and bit it with her white and tender little teeth.

The roast chicken that had just been taken out of the flame was still very hot, and the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly from the heat, but Dongfang Qinlan refused to let go.

"I'm not afraid of the heat."

Su Mu said helplessly.

"You will feel the heat, but you possess the demon-killing divine fire, so you won't be harmed."

Beside him, Dongfang Huaizhu explained in a low voice.

"Oh I see!"

Su Mu nodded, then handed the other chicken leg to Dongfang Huaizhu.

"Thank you."

Dongfang Huaizhu spoke with a smile.

Compared to her younger sister, Dongfang Huaizhu, the older sister, looked much more elegant. However, when she bit the chicken lightly, her beautiful eyes brightened up noticeably.

Maybe I like it deep down too.

"It's delicious, so delicious, silly boy, I didn't expect you to have such cooking skills. The steamed eggs before were delicious, and so was the roasted chicken this time. How do you know so much, silly boy?"

Dongfang Qinlan chewed the burning flesh in her mouth and still spoke incoherently.

"well enough."

Su Mu smiled.

"Tap..."

There was a sound of footsteps.

A young man in thin clothes came over carrying firewood. He was a little thin and his clothes were a little worn, but they were clean and his eyes were slightly bright.

The boy's fingers were rough and covered with thick calluses, obviously from years of hard work.

The young man was the handyman who was hunting pheasants.

The roasted pheasant in Su Mu's hand was obtained from him.

There was not enough firewood, so he went to pick up some nearby.

"You came just in time. The roast chicken is ready. Come and have some too."

Seeing the other party put some firewood into the campfire, Su Mu also handed him half a roasted chicken.

The servant obviously didn't expect that he would have a share of the roast chicken. After all, the master had already paid silver when he took the pheasant from him, and it was far more than the price.

What's more, as a servant of the villa, he was supposed to serve the disciples of the villa. Even if he was not paid, he would not be able to say anything.

"Eat some. I don't know how it's grilled."

Su Mu smiled.

The young servant took the roast chicken awkwardly. The aroma of the food made his throat move, but he did not start eating immediately. Instead, he could not help but look up at Su Mu.

At this moment, Su Mu had already continued to concentrate on roasting the pheasants. After all, there were not just one pheasants to be roasted, but four.

Looking at these, the young servant lowered his head again, looking at the steaming roast chicken in his hand, and was silent for a moment.

As far as I can remember, I have never met anyone as gentle as him in the villa.

Yes, mild.

Shenhuoshan Villa is an upright sect, so naturally there are very few cases of bullying of servants. Most of the disciples of the villa treat the servants well and speak to them gently, but this gentleness is different. No matter how restrained it is, the sense of superiority is always revealed invisibly.

But the other party was different. It seemed that they treated the servants and the disciples of the villa the same.

It is a very equal attitude and comes from the heart.

This made the young servant feel incredible.

At this moment, the young servant couldn't help but think of the rumors about the other party in the villa. They were all negative. He didn't think much about these rumors before, but now, he always felt that the other party was not as the rumors said.

How could such a gentle adult be as terrible as the rumors say?

But he was just a servant, with little influence, so naturally he could not change anything.

"Ahhh...how long will the rest take?"

However, Dongfang Qinlan had already finished eating the chicken legs. At this moment, like a greedy kitten, she set her eyes on the remaining roast chickens. However, seeing that the roast chickens were not yet cooked, she showed obvious disappointment on her face.

"I have a roast chicken that the adults gave me, but I haven't eaten it yet."

The young servant spoke respectfully.

Dongfang Qinlan's beautiful eyes also fell on the young servant, as if she had thought of something: "Oh, you are the one who almost fell this morning... What's your name..."

"My...my name is Huanlu."

When asked his name, the young servant's face flushed slightly. He mustered up the courage to say his name, then stammered, "Morning...it was Second Young Lady's help this morning that saved my bucket from spilling. Actually, I really have to...thank you, Second Young Lady. It's just that she left too quickly..."

The young servant spoke with some gratitude.

"Hey, no, no."

Dongfang Qinlan waved her hand, but her eyes remained on the roast chicken. She then took out some small change from her small bag and said, "Here! Huanlu, this is for you. The roast chicken is mine."

After saying this, he grabbed the roast chicken without waiting for the young servant's consent.

The young man looked at the small change in his hand and actually wanted to say that there was no need to give any small change, but Dongfang Qinlan had already walked to the campfire with a roasted chicken and sat next to the adult.

As the girl ate, she would occasionally turn her head and look at the silly boy who was roasting a chicken: "Silly boy, the food you cook is so delicious. From now on, you should cook for me every day."

"You seem to be able to eat a lot, but you never gain weight."

"Humph, this lady just can't gain weight, it's going to piss you off to death."

Dongfang Qinlan happily took a bite of the roast chicken, then hesitated for a moment, pinched a little bit of chicken from the roast chicken and handed it to the silly boy's mouth:

"Hey, let me give you some too."
