Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

Upon arriving in the village, the group first took Li Xianglan home.

Li Xianglan, who had just gotten off the carriage, was still savoring the experience of traveling to and from town by horse-drawn carriage to buy things. She found it much more comfortable than traveling by oxcart.

She thought to herself, "How wonderful it would be if our family could afford such a carriage someday!" But she also knew that her family's current circumstances didn't allow it, so she could only dream about it for now. Little did she know that this wish would come true in less than two years.

After returning home, everyone first unloaded the things that Feng Pianpian and Qi Ye'an had given them, and then poured a cup of hot milk tea for Li Wang and another worker to warm them up.

Qiao Jingjing decided to give Feng Pianpian a set of thermal underwear she had stocked up on at Modern Times, a bottle of face cream, a bar of soap, and a down vest. She gave Qi Ye'an a set of Xuan paper (about 100 sheets), a basket of sweet potatoes, and a bag of white fungus. Finally, she gave each of the two shop assistants a basket of sweet potatoes and some snacks as a thank-you gift.

As Qiao Jingjing was busy, she suddenly realized she had forgotten about the three people. She thought to herself, "They paid for their meals but didn't get to eat, and I didn't even tell them beforehand. That's really wrong of me. I thought I'd be back by noon."

So she quickly picked out some things, then took out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), five packs of dumplings, five bags of steamed buns, some melon seeds and nuts, etc., from her spatial storage. After removing the packaging, she poured them into a wooden candy box. She then found a clean small basket, lined it with white gauze, poured the dumplings in, took out a box of biscuits, and then carried the basket to find the three people.

Xuan Yi leaned against the door pitifully, craning his neck to look outside. Miss Qiao had forgotten about it once before.

Tantai Zhou never expected to go hungry under such circumstances. He sat upright in his chair without saying a word, his hands tucked into the hot water bottle. His cold face paired with the pink hot water bottle was inexplicably comical, yet his eyes couldn't help but be looking in the same direction as Xuan Yi.

Old Feng sat by the charcoal brazier, his body slightly hunched over, his beard almost singed.

When Qiao Jingjing came in and saw the three of them like this, she was both amused and exasperated.

"Sorry, I thought I'd be back by noon, but I'm only coming now. I brought you some dumplings and steamed buns, so you can easily make some if I'm not home later. It's very simple."

I'll cook you something to tide you over now, so you can have a proper dinner later.

She asked Xuan Yi to light a fire and boil water at the stove. Xuan Yi couldn't cook, but he could still light a fire and boil water without any problem. She then took the small basket to the yard and hung it on the clothesline.

"The dumplings and buns are in here. They tend to thaw and stick together in the warm room, so we leave them outside. We can take some out when we want to eat them."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the stove. When the water was about to boil, he put the dumplings in. After the water boiled again, he added some cold water and continued cooking. He repeated this process three times.

Take out three large bowls, put a small packet of dumpling soup seasoning in each bowl, ladle the dumplings and soup into the bowls, and the fragrant dumplings are ready to be served.

The three of them ate in silence.

Qiao Jingjing was satisfied with their reaction. She then brought over another basket, explaining as she took things out, "This contains sunflower seeds, nuts, and snacks. This box contains biscuits. Remember to close the lid tightly when you're not eating them, otherwise they won't taste good if they get damp. This bottle of wine is for Dr. Feng."

Toyota was stroking his beard, wanting a sip of the soup in his bowl. How could this girl even make dumpling soup taste so good? Hearing Qiao Jingjing say she'd brought him some wine, he immediately perked up.

Then I looked at the bottle, and wow! It's really beautiful.

I quickly pulled out the cork, and a wonderful aroma filled the air. I took a sip—it was delicious! So delicious! So flavorful!

"Girl, where did you buy this wine? Bring me 10 more bottles next time, no, as many as you can, the more the better." After saying that, he took another sip, savoring the taste.

Then I picked up another dumpling, and just like that, two bites of dumplings and a sip of wine, how delightful!

Dumplings and wine go perfectly together!

Qiao Jingjing glanced at it and said, "This wine was sold by a traveling merchant, but he's probably long gone now. We'll see if we run into him again."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Feng, who was enjoying his drink, quickly put down the bottle and said, "Let's drink less."

After everyone finished eating, Xuan Yi went to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. Doctor Feng brought over a bowl of medicine and instructed Qiao Jingjing to watch Tantai Zhou finish drinking it, while he went to prepare the medicine to be taken before bed.

Tantai Zhou looked at the dark-colored medicine, his handsome face darkening, his brows furrowing. He'd taken the medicine so many times, but he still hadn't gotten used to the taste.

Especially after just having eaten delicious three-delicacy dumplings, the difference between this bitter medicinal soup and the soup is too great.

I don't really want to drink it.

Seeing that he didn't move, Qiao Jingjing took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her sleeve, peeled off the outer packaging, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and held them in her hand.

"If you drink your medicine obediently, all of these are yours." She then opened her palm, revealing several milky-white candies lying on the handkerchief. Tantai Zhou stared at her in surprise, already smelling the milky aroma.

Qiao Jingjing thought she had failed. This was how she coaxed Amin when he refused to drink the medicine, so why did it stop working?

Tantai Zhou's mind was in turmoil again. How did she know I liked sweets?

"Try it, I guarantee it'll be delicious."

Tantai Zhou composed himself, picked up the bowl and drank it down in three gulps. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and the bowl of medicine was quickly emptied.

He had just put down the bowl when something hard was stuffed into his mouth. He bit down and found it was a candy. A sweet aroma filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but chew it.

A few seconds later, the sweet and rich flavor exploded in my mouth, with a strong milky taste that left me wanting more.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Qiao Jingjing smiled, her eyes crinkling with pride.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Tantai Zhou couldn't help but smile slightly.

A hint of curiosity and anticipation flickered in his deep eyes, as if he wanted to explore the depths of her heart.

Suddenly, as if possessed, he stretched out his right hand, palm up, his well-defined fingers slightly bent, making a retracting motion, indicating that she should hand over all the remaining candies in her hand.

His voice was deep and magnetic, with an indescribable charm: "Give it to me."

The single-minded Qiao Jingjing didn't notice the awkward atmosphere and slapped a handkerchief into his hand.

Since Lin Zhijie was there in the evening, I decided to invite all three of them to dinner together, saving me the trouble of delivering food.

Qiao Jingjing finally got to eat the hot pot she had been longing for, and Lin Zhijie was once again amazed by the spicy red oil broth, opening up a new world of spicy food for him.
