3: Section 3

Finally.

A kitchen helper found the missing ingredients and spices in an inconspicuous bamboo basket.

These items were wrapped in white cloth and hidden in a very secret place.

Seeing that the items were recovered, Xiao Wang was overjoyed.

"Found them!"

"Found them!"

"I told you I didn't steal them!"

Su Mo, on the other hand, had a serious expression.

He looked at everyone in the kitchen.

"No matter who did this, I need to give them a warning."

"If you don't want others to know, don't do it."

"If you're caught next time, it won't be as simple as this!"

"If I don't send you to jail for a few years, I'll write my name, Su Mo, backward!"

After speaking, Su Mo glared fiercely at Liu Master.

He had to find an excuse to get this guy out of the kitchen!

Liu Master, however, had an indifferent expression.

He had been cooking here for more than twenty years; what could a new Steward of the dining hall do to him?

Seeing this, Su Mo reprimanded everyone angrily.

"Go work, all of you!"

"Don't delay breakfast!"

Subsequently, everyone resumed their work in an orderly fashion.

Xiao Wang also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Steward Su, if we hadn't found them, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Seeing Xiao Wang like this,

Su Mo already had a preliminary plan in his mind.

"Hmm, it's nothing. When the time comes, tell your uncle about this, and have him teach you some things to pay attention to."

Xiao Wang didn't think much of it.

"Yes, I will, Steward Su. After this incident, I've learned my lesson."

"Alright, then go get busy."

"Okay!"

...

Just then, Chun Zhu and Shaoyao came from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, walking all the way to the kitchen.

Seeing Su Mo, the two maids quickly came over.

"Steward Su."

"Steward Su."

Seeing the two pretty maids, Su Mo composed himself.

These were the General's Wife's personal maids, and he couldn't neglect them.

"Why have the two elder sisters come over?"

At this time, Chun Zhu chuckled.

"Madam heard that your candied sweet potatoes are delicious and wants you to make a plate for her. She also wants to ask if you can make 'Emerald Willow Warbler's Song'."

Emerald Willow Warbler's Song?

What was that?

Su Mo immediately shook his head.

"No, no, I've never even heard of that dish name."

"Madam wants to eat candied sweet potatoes, right? Good, I'll go make them right away!"

"The two elder sisters haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll make more for you to take back."

"Steward Su is really too kind..."

Chapter 3: Sweetness Enters the Heart, Causing Pain; It Is Both Grace and Calamity

"Madam, these are the candied sweet potatoes made by Steward Su."

In the General's Wife's room.

A plate of golden, fragrant candied sweet potatoes was placed on the table.

Huang Qingwan looked at the candied sweet potatoes before her, momentarily lost in thought.

Chun Zhu at the side urged her.

"Madam, please eat quickly. If it gets cold, the candied sweet potatoes won't be able to pull threads anymore."

Huang Qingwan didn't respond.

Instead, she asked,

"Did he say he could make 'Emerald Willow Warbler's Song'?"

Chun Zhu shook her head at this time.

"No, from Steward Su's expression, it seemed he hadn't even heard of it."

Huang Qingwan was a little lost in thought.

"Is that so..."

With a light sigh,

She picked up a piece of candied sweet potato with ivory chopsticks and placed it into her mouth.

The soft, sweet, and fragrant candied sweet potato.

At this moment,

It tasted bitter and astringent.

...

Because it was the Second Miss's birthday,

Everyone was busy until midnight before resting.

Returning to his room and lying on the bed, Su Mo let out a long sigh.

This guy.

Too tired.

If it weren't for the fact that each simulation allowed him to completely dispel his fatigue, as a modern person, Su Mo felt that he might not have been able to endure such work.

After washing his feet,

Su Mo was excited.

Finally, he could continue the simulation.

This mini-game could be said to be his only pleasure in this foreign world without a phone or computer.

Summoning the love affair life, a light screen appeared before him.

There was only one large line of text on the light screen.

"[Do you want to start the simulation?]"

"Start!"

"[Randomizing birth location.]"

"[Your birth location for this simulation is Hangzhou Prefecture.]"

"[Randomizing love affair character.]"

"[Your randomly bound love affair character for this time is named 'Bai Suzhen'.]"

When he saw the three words "Bai Suzhen", Su Mo's mind went blank with a bang.

Bai Suzhen.

What did that mean?

Mythological figures were appearing now!

Could it be that this world was not just an ordinary ancient world with a few Martial Forest experts as he knew it, but a mythological world where immortals, ghosts, and Demons ran rampant!

If that were the case,

Then his small body would be sucked dry of its essence by a fox Demon!

This, how could this be!

A mythological world, what kind of joke was the heavens playing on him?

The protagonists in other novels had things like Innate Spirit Treasure accompanying them, or invincible Systems helping them fight.

And his Golden Finger was just a mini-game?

Su Mo found it a bit hard to accept for a moment.

But the name on the light screen clearly showed the three big words "Bai Suzhen".

Who was Bai Suzhen?

She was a thousand-year-old snake Demon, and in this Hangzhou area, it had to be the Legend of the White Snake!

Could it be that...

He had Transmigrated into the world of the Legend of the White Snake?

Hiss!

The more Su Mo thought about it, the more panicked he became.

One had to know that those fox Demons and ghosts loved strong, handsome young men like him the most.

Don't come over and suck his essence while he was sleeping at night!

Thinking to the end,

Su Mo gradually calmed his mind.

He had scared himself a bit just now; this love affair life was just a simulation mini-game, all virtual, and he wouldn't be surprised even if it randomized the Seven Fairies.

Thinking of this,

Su Mo continued to play the game calmly.

No matter what, the simulation still had to begin.

"[Randomizing identity.]"

"[Your randomly chosen identity for this time is the legitimate son of the Hangzhou Prefect.]"

...

"[Randomizing talent.]"

Looking at the continuously randomized talents, Su Mo was quite excited.

Talent Ranks were divided into white, green, blue, purple, and gold five Ranks.

The stronger the talent randomized, the better the simulation experience would be.
