Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.
Chapter 25 Who Moved My Food!
After eating and drinking their fill, Su Bai and Wang Ming were feeling sleepy. After sitting in the courtyard for more than half an hour, Su Bai's eyelids started to droop, and Wang Ming was also very sleepy and wanted to go back to rest and take a nap.
"Then I'll arrange for someone to take you to the other house." Wang Ming wasn't used to staying at the Hua family's house, so Su Bai didn't insist that he stay there for a nap. Anyway, the other house wasn't far from the Hua family's house; it would only take a few minutes by car.
"Thank you for your help!" Wang Ming thanked him, and wanted to ask if Hua Jueming could not drive him, but then he remembered that Hua Jueming was the butler, and it was already very kind of him to be his driver once, why would he be his driver again? He was not such an important person!
As expected, the driver who took Wang Ming this time was the Hua family's driver, a chubby but very kind uncle.
Upon realizing that the driver wasn't Hua Jueming, a strange thought flashed through Wang Ming's mind, but it was too fleeting for him to grasp.
"I want to do some market research before deciding on the price. Anyway, the online store hasn't opened yet, so there's still time!" Before leaving, Wang Ming told Su Bai what he planned to do next.
Su Bai originally intended for Wang Ming to make a judgment, but after eating it once, Wang Ming intuitively felt that the bok choy Su Bai grew shouldn't be priced the same as ordinary bok choy. Moreover, Su Bai said that only he could grow bok choy with this kind of taste, and no one else could! Therefore, Wang Ming felt that the vegetables Su Bai grew, whether bok choy or anything else, should be priced at the high end, but the specific price range still needed further investigation.
"You take care of this part. I just need to focus on growing the vegetables so we don't run out of stock when the online store opens." It's so convenient to have someone help me! It saves me a lot of trouble and effort.
"Then I might come back a little late tonight, and I'll have to go out more these next few days." Wang Ming had finally found a job he liked, and he couldn't wait to finish his tasks so that Su Bai could see that choosing him was the right decision.
"It's not in a rush, just take care of yourself!" Su Bai reminded him.
"I understand!" Wang Ming smiled. If he didn't know that Su Bai was already married, he might have really fallen for her, because Su Bai was the first person in his twenty-three years of life who trusted him so much and treated him so well!
Unfortunately... they met too late, and what's more... Hua Jueming's face suddenly flashed into Wang Ming's mind, sending a chill down his spine.
Why would I suddenly think of him for no reason?!
Even from a great distance, Hua Jueming could see the expression on Wang Ming's face and thought to himself: This man really does have ulterior motives towards his master's people!
But he hadn't gone out earlier, so going out now would only make it seem like he was trying to cover something up. Unable to personally show himself to stop Wang Ming from showing goodwill to his master's people, Hua Jueming could only try a roundabout approach.
He winked at the driver, signaling him to hurry up and drive away, and stop dawdling!
If Wang Ming, that amnesiac little vixen, really steals his girlfriend, where will he, as the butler, put his face?
Upon receiving Hua Jueming's signal, the driver immediately slammed on the gas pedal, and the car shot off with a whoosh, moving so fast it seemed as if a monster was chasing after it.
Su Bai stared blankly, strongly suspecting that the driver's legs were numb and he was driving so fast because he didn't know his own strength!
Wang Ming was startled by the sudden start of the car, his body pressed heavily against the back of the seat, and he only separated after a while. He glanced at the driver suspiciously, and the driver returned an apologetic smile. Wang Ming didn't think much of it, assuming that the driver was also busy going back to take a nap.
Back in his room, the drowsiness that had been suppressed surged up instantly. Su Bai found a comfortable spot under the covers and lay down, falling asleep almost immediately. He slept until 7:30 p.m.
Su Bai opened his eyes groggily, feeling weak all over and his mind was foggy. If it weren't for his stomach growling with hunger, he really would have wanted to keep sleeping.
When I got downstairs, both the living room and the dining room were pitch black, and I couldn't see a single person.
"Butler Hua?" Su Bai turned on the living room light and called out.
The sound echoed in the living room, but Hua Jueming, who usually appeared quickly, still hadn't come out even after the echo had disappeared, and Su Bai immediately felt uneasy.
He raised his voice again, calling out, "Butler Hua?"
Hua Jueming finally appeared, but he came out of the kitchen, looking somewhat anxious, and his steps were a little hurried. "Madam, you called me?"
"Butler Hua, what happened? Why is there no one here?" Su Bai asked.
Hua Jueming immediately denied it, saying, "Nothing's wrong, it's just that today is the monthly day off for the family's servants, so no one is here."
"Really?" Su Bai's suspicious gaze lingered on Hua Jueming's face. He couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. "Then the chef is on holiday too? Wasn't he injured?"
"Yes, he was injured, so he took this opportunity to go to the hospital to get medicine. He won't be back for a while. Madam, would you like dinner? Should I have someone bring it over?" Hua Jueming said, taking out his phone to make a call.
"No need!" Su Bai refused directly. "I can just make something myself." He remembered that there was some leftover meat sauce from lunch, so he could just make a bowl of noodles. Anyway, there were still some bok choy left.
"This..." Hua Jueming hesitated. If Su Bai cooked for herself, would the master blame him for not taking good care of his wife?
"If you call someone now, it will take quite a while to bring it over. I'm really hungry and can't wait that long. I'd rather just make myself a bowl of noodles." Cooking noodles is very simple and doesn't take much time. It's much better than ordering takeout.
After hesitating for a long time, Hua Jueming finally relented, "Then I'll help you out!" As an all-around butler, cooking was the only skill he hadn't mastered, because he was afraid of fire!
"No need! Aren't you all on holiday today? You go and rest! I'll cook myself." Su Bai didn't want Hua Jueming to have to work during his rest time. "It's just a bowl of noodles, it'll be quick."
Hua Jueming thought for a moment, "Alright then! But you don't need to wash the dishes and chopsticks. Leave them until the maid comes to work tomorrow to wash them."
"Mhm." Su Bai nodded; he didn't like washing dishes anyway.
Su Bai told Hua Jueming to go back and rest, and then took the ingredients out of the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to start making dinner.
After leaving through the side door of the kitchen, Hua Jueming's smile vanished instantly, and his aura turned cold and terrifying. He strode towards the back door, pressed a few buttons on the wall, and a hidden door appeared in the floor. Without even turning on the light, Hua Jueming walked straight in.
After walking through a long, dark corridor, where a sliver of light appeared at the end, Hua Jueming stood at the entrance and saw peacocks, sheep, and malva nut plants being desperately suppressed by a brown bear in the empty basement. His face instantly darkened.
"Haven't they found the reason for their transformation yet?"
The brown bear suppressed six different plants and animals all by itself, which took all its strength. "I thought about it and it must be because it ate vegetables containing spiritual energy."
Under Hua Jueming's suspicious gaze, the brown bear continued to explain, "The oldest among them is only four hundred years old. They are still in their infancy and their ability to digest spiritual energy is relatively weak. Although the spiritual energy content of the cabbage is a bit low, it should be their first time eating it, and the amount they ate for the first time was quite large. Of course, they can't handle it!"
So that's how it is! Hua Jueming never expected the truth to be like this. Heaven knows how terrified he was after discovering that all the demons in his house had turned back into their original forms. What if Su Bai found out?!
"When will they recover?" Su Bai thought that he could hinder them for a while, but he couldn't hinder them forever.
"Once the excitement wears off, it should be about time for the night." The brown bear spirit is the oldest in the family, even older than Hua Jueming. The cabbages are like medicine to him, with no side effects at all. "Luckily, they're the only ones who ate the cabbages. If there were another one, I wouldn't be able to control myself."
When Hua Jueming heard the brown bear spirit say this, he thought of Wang Ming. He remembered that he had also eaten a lot of cabbages, and he was also a young little demon.
"I'll leave things here to you. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first!" Hua Jueming was afraid that Wang Ming would turn back into his original form and fly far away, unable to find his way home, so he wanted to rush over and check on him.
"Hey! You're just leaving like this? Aren't you going to help me?" the brown bear spirit shouted. He could handle it all by himself, but he needed to rest! Was Hua Jueming really not going to lend him a hand?
It's still a long time before dawn!
As it turned out, Hua Jueming really didn't help. The brown bear spirit waited for a long time but didn't see Hua Jueming's figure, and only then did it realize that Hua Jueming had really left.
"What a heartless demon! He won't even lend a hand at a time like this!" The brown bear demon muttered to himself as he increased the pressure on his hands, pressing the trapped plants and animals even tighter.
Su Bai found a small pot, placed it on the stove, added an appropriate amount of water, and then lit the fire.
He has always cooked, but cooking takes too much time and is not as convenient as ordering takeout, so he rarely cooks. Even Su Yangxia has never eaten his cooking because their meetings are always unpredictable, and Su Bai could never find the right opportunity to cook for him.
After the water boils, turn the heat down to low. Crack an egg into the pot and let it cook until it's slightly set before adding the noodles. When the noodles are about 60-70% cooked, add the bok choy and salt to taste. It's ready to eat in a minute or two.
Su Bai prefers poached eggs to fried eggs and boiled eggs, and he likes the poached egg yolk to be cooked until it is slightly set, which makes him feel like he is eating pudding.
Ladle the noodles from the pot into a bowl, add the meat sauce heated in the microwave and chopped green onions, and dinner is ready.
Su Bai placed the bowl on the dining table, and just as she was about to start eating, she remembered that she rarely cooked, and that she had made such a perfect dish. It would be a shame not to leave a memento, so she put down her chopsticks, got up, and went upstairs to get her phone.
Just as Su Bai stepped onto the second floor, the door on the first floor was quietly opened.
A tall, slender figure slowly entered the living room, paused in the center for a few seconds, then, drawn by the lights and aromas from the dining room, walked over there uncontrollably.
Seeing the still steaming noodles, the person's expression changed. Without much hesitation, they sat down at the table where the noodles were placed, picked up their chopsticks, and started eating.
Su Bai heard the noise when he went downstairs with his phone, but Hua Jueming and the servants had all gone to rest, so who else would be there?
After walking a short distance towards the restaurant, Su Bai, with her sharp ears, heard the sound of people eating noodles. A surge of anger rose in her heart. This was definitely not Hua Jueming and the servants; they would never eat the food on the table!
This must be a thief!
But of all things to steal, this thief had to steal his food!
He made that for himself, and he hasn't even had a chance to eat a bite yet!
Su Bai, emboldened by who-knows-where, strode into the restaurant and shouted, "Who are you, you scoundrels? How dare you steal things here!"
