Scientific Travel

Feifei was puzzled as to why Deng Yin had suddenly become interested in Yunxingdao. He asked, half-jokingly and half-probingly, "Why has the immortal suddenly become interested in Yunxingdao? Could it be that he has fallen for someone from Yunxingdao?"

"Don't call me a deity, just be the same as before," Deng Yin said. "Don't change the subject."

"Sister is really easily teased." Feifei didn't believe she was just curious, and when she spoke, she only said some unimportant things: "The techniques that Yunxing Dao teaches us are all tricks that can bewitch people's hearts, and they are not respectable."

"I never knew that learning cooking and martial arts had become something that couldn't be presented in a respectable way." Qiu Qingyu mainly studied martial arts, while Gao Ruizhe mainly studied cooking. It shouldn't be that the future teaching policy was determined as soon as they were admitted, but rather that they learned a little bit of everything and then focused on the subject they were most talented in.

This is evident in Qiu Qingyu; she is not only highly skilled in martial arts but also a good cook. Compared to her, Gao Ruizhe appears much weaker. He shows some basic martial arts skills, as evidenced by his excellent woodcutting. However, his skills are limited, otherwise he wouldn't have been constantly and unilaterally suppressed by Qiu Qingyu.

"Whether something is presentable or not depends not on what it is, but on what it is for." Seeing Deng Yin's probing questions, Fei Fei explained in much more detail this time: "Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you more about it."

"In order to win someone's heart as quickly as possible, Yun Xingdao prepared a total of 59 identities. They ranged from wealthy merchants or relatives of royalty to beggars."

"All the skills we learn are to play this role well. If you are good at martial arts, you can choose the identity of a hunter or a bodyguard. If you are good at cooking, you can choose the identity of a chef or a servant."

"In addition to these two skills, we will also learn medicine, embroidery, dancing, and singing. There will be an assessment when we are ten years old, and the subject with the highest score will be the main subject we will study in the future."

Deng Yin pressed further, "What if they want to leave? Will Yunxingdao let them go?"

Feifei was very unhappy, but he had excellent control over his emotions and didn't show it at all. "Yes, but you have to hand over half of the money you earned before, and you also have to return what you learned."

Deng Yin: "Martial arts and medical skills can be returned by severing tendons, but what about cooking skills? How can cooking skills be returned?"

“Not everything needs to be returned. Just return the subject you mainly studied,” Fei Fei said. “If your main subject is cooking, you either have to drink the Flavor Elixir and lose your sense of taste, or you have to exchange it for money. Ten thousand gold coins will be enough to return it.”

Deng Yin was somewhat surprised.

She had thought about making money in this line of work, but she never imagined making money this way!

Even if you quit learning cooking and have nothing left, you still need to have 20,000 gold coins in assets.

A daily lament: how could Wei Wujiang's life be so worthless?

......

In an effort to change Deng Yin's mind, Gao Ruizhe showed off his skills by preparing a total of 13 dishes.

There are all kinds of dishes, including frying, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying, and braising. Dog Egg can't resist the smell alone.

To be able to stay overnight, cross that out. To celebrate their long-awaited reunion, Gao Ruizhe even went out of his way to buy three jars of fine wine.

"These three jars of wine are top-quality Guyue Dew, which is very hard to buy," Gao Ruizhe said as he poured wine for everyone.

When it was time to pour wine for Gou Dan, Deng Yin stopped him, saying, "Don't pour it for him, he won't drink."

Gou Dan had already raised his glass when he smelled the aroma of the wine, but when Deng Yin said he wouldn't drink, Gou Dan quickly clarified to Gao Ruizhe, "I'll drink, pour me some."

"You're not drinking?" Deng Yin interrupted again. "We have to open the shop tomorrow. If you get drunk, who's going to do the work?"

Gao Ruizhe's eyes lit up. Ignoring Deng Yin's advice, he poured Gou Dan a full glass of wine. "It's okay, a little won't make you drunk. Even if you drink too much, I'll just take over his work tomorrow." Ideally, he'd be too drunk to get up tomorrow, so he could take his place and keep Deng Yin company at the shop.

Dog Egg was very happy.

Gao Ruizhe is such a good person!

He took a small sip; it wasn't spicy, it was sweet, and it tasted good!

Dog Egg wasn't just focused on drinking; he raised his glass, making a gesture to toast Gao Ruizhe.

Gao Ruizhe didn't hesitate and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that he had drunk it, Gou Dan also drank it all in one gulp.

While Deng Yin wasn't looking, Gao Ruizhe secretly poured Gou Dan another cup.

Since he could remember, Gao Ruizhe was the kindest person to him besides Deng Yin. Gou Dan understood the principle of gratitude, so he asked Gao Ruizhe, "What's your name?"

"Gao Ruizhe." Out of politeness, Gao Ruizhe also asked Gou Dan's name: "And yours?"

"Gou Dan."

Feifei, who was munching on corn with her head down, stopped eating when she heard the name and looked up at Gou Dan in shock.

What a corny name...

Gao Ruizhe remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Good...good name."

The culprit, Deng Yin, ate his plate of Dingbo wine and Bisi cake without changing his expression. Gao Ruizhe was really something; he could cut cucumber shreds as thin as threads.

I'm starting to think about keeping him here...

Gou Dan started toasting Gao Ruizhe, and by the end, Gao Ruizhe had forgotten why he was drinking with Gou Dan in the first place. There were thirteen dishes in total, and Gou Dan praised every single one he ate, practically bewitched by Gao Ruizhe.

In the end, he didn't give Gou Dan too much, but he gave himself too much first.

This wasn't without its advantages; at least he managed to secure a place to stay for the night.

Gou Dan and Gao Ruizhe hit it off immediately, and Gao Ruizhe even forgot about Feifei, insisting on living with Gou Dan.

Feifei disagreed, but he insisted on sleeping with Gao Ruizhe.

Gao Ruizhe's brain went blank after drinking too much; he couldn't tell what he should or shouldn't say. He was drunk, but Gou Dan wasn't. If he said something he shouldn't have, they'd be in big trouble.

Deng Yin didn't try to dissuade them; the three of them discussed it for a long time and finally decided to sleep together.

Dog Egg's bed is very small, at most two people can lie down. Even though Fei Fei is a child, three people can't squeeze into the bed.

There was no reason for the two adults to fight with the child for the bed, so Feifei ended up sleeping on the bed while the other two slept on the floor.

Actually, Gou Dan was also drunk, but he was the same as before he was drunk. His face wasn't red, he didn't stagger, and he spoke very logically.

The only difference is that their mental capacity has decreased.

Gao Ruizhe was different. When he was drunk, his face turned red, he walked unsteadily, and his speech was slurred. As for the point that his mental capacity decreased...

He was mentally impaired before he got drunk.

However, when he was drunk, he appeared to be even more mentally impaired.

The two, drunk, were not sleepy at all. There was a plate of sunflower seeds in the room. One of them peeled the seeds and ate only the shells, while the other ate them whole.

Even food couldn't shut them up. One minute they were talking about how bad the melon seeds tasted, and the next they were talking about what the Gu Yue Lu they had just drunk was made of.

Only Deng Yin slept all night. Fei Fei had poor sleep quality and would wake up at the slightest noise. Moreover, the two of them argued all night, so he didn't even have a chance to fall asleep.

The two of them didn't go to sleep until dawn. Feifei thought she could finally get some sleep, but she had only just closed her eyes when she heard Deng Yin knocking on the door.

"Get up and eat."

Feifei suddenly opened her eyes, which were bloodshot.
