The magical seasoning in stinky tofu

“Come down, I’m going to get something first,” Lin Feng said, patting the back of the hand wrapped around his lower abdomen.

“Ah, okay, Master,” Sylvie quickly let go of Lin Feng, then carefully jumped off the Flying Sword.

Last time, when Lin Feng passed by the Three Brothers’s Elevator, he didn’t have much time to greet them and left directly. This time, when he came to pick up the books, he could finally see what the Three Brothers used to make stinky tofu.

“Liu Ping!” After passing through a cluster of large trees, Lin Feng saw Liu Ping, who was processing meat, and waved to him.

“God Lin? Huh? How did you know our Elevator was here?” Liu Ping looked up, saw it was Lin Feng, and quickly took off his gloves to wipe his hands.

“Sigh, I saw you here last time I passed by, but I didn’t have time to greet you. Are you processing ingredients?”

“Ah, yes, processing ingredients. Um, God Lin, are you here to pick up books?” Liu Ping casually took off his apron and threw it onto a nearby wooden table.

“Smart. So, how many have you translated?”

“Sigh, God Lin, I have to say, I really regret taking this job. It’s exhausting for us Three Brothers every day. We can probably translate one book in a little over a day. Xiao Yun! God Lin is here, bring out the translated books!”

“Aye!” A response came from inside the shed, and Liu Ping continued to chat with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng also knew the reason for Liu Ping saying this; he just wanted more compensation.

What Lin Feng lacked least was empire gold coinss.

“Alright, I understand your difficulties, after all, most of your time is spent exploring the floor.” Lin Feng pretended to ponder, then gritted his teeth and continued, “How about this, I’ll give you another five hundred empire gold coinss. I want not only efficiency but also quality. If I find any shoddy work, you know the consequences, right?”

Upon hearing this, a smile bloomed on Liu Ping’s wrinkled face.

“Don’t worry, God Lin, we are your number one fans, how could we possibly cheat you? Oh, by the way, God Lin, have you eaten? Would you like some of our secret recipe stinky tofu?”

“Okay, you make it. Make a few extra portions.”

“Alright! Oh, by the way, does this one eat spicy food?” Liu Ping had long noticed the delicate girl hiding behind Lin Feng, but he didn’t dare to look too much. After all, he didn't know the girl's relationship with Lin Feng, and if he looked a few more times and caused trouble, it would be a loss.

“Do you eat spicy food?”

“Huh? What is spicy?” Sylvie looked at Lin Feng with an innocent face.

“Never mind, make her a mild one.” Has this girl never even eaten chili? That's really a bit sad.

“Okay, please wait, it’ll be ready soon.” After Liu Ping left, Zhang Yun also came over with the books.

“Oh, by the way, God Lin, I also translated a manga, a romance one, do you want it?”

“Why are you translating this stuff?” Lin Feng took the white manga book, a bit puzzled.

“Hehe, I’m just trying to promote it to see if I can make some money from manga in this place.” Zhang Yun scratched his head. This manga was short and didn’t have many words, so it didn’t take much time to translate. He also wanted to try it out first. If it worked, he would put more effort into it after completing Lin Feng’s task.

“Alright, I’ll take it. You go get busy.” Lin Feng casually stacked the manga and translated books together.

“Alright!”

.........

Soon, with a strong aroma, five steaming portions of stinky tofu were brought over. Since Lin Feng didn’t specify how many portions he wanted, Liu Ping made a few extra.

“Old Liu, did you used to sell snacks?”

“Hehe, I specifically spent eight thousand yuan back then to learn this skill, thinking that if I didn’t want to work in the future, I could set up a stall on Snack Street to make a living. I didn’t expect that as soon as I finished learning the skill, I’d end up in this rotten place.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to be a craftsman.” Saying that, Lin Feng picked up a piece of tofu, blew on it, and put it in his mouth. It was still that magical taste. Lin Feng was truly curious what was added to make it taste like this.

“I say, you didn’t add anything you shouldn’t have to this stinky tofu, did you? How is it so delicious?” Lin Feng asked jokingly. After all, it wasn’t unheard of for old snacks to have some unauthorized ingredients added to attract repeat customers.

“Don’t worry, God Lin, there’s absolutely none of that stuff. To be honest with you, all my food has one seasoning added, which I bought from a Floor Merchant. It’s called Valley Grass Powder. After adding it, no matter what kind of taste preference a person has, they can taste their favorite flavor.”

After hearing Liu Ping’s explanation, Lin Feng finally felt relieved. After all, Kuze’s ravenous state did make one easily think in that direction.

“Hiss, hiss….” Just as the two were talking, Sylvie, next to Lin Feng, suddenly turned red. Although she was trying her best to control herself, she couldn’t help but make hissing sounds.

“Drinking some milk will help,” Lin Feng casually took out a cup of milk and handed it over.

“Thank you, Master.”

Master?

Liu Ping raised an eyebrow, then showed a knowing smile.

“What are you laughing at? Alright, I’m leaving now. Speed up the progress of translating the books!”

“Alright, alright, God Lin, walk slowly!” Liu Ping quickly stood up and said respectfully.

.............

Inside the town, Lin Feng led Sylvie unhurriedly towards Qinghe Inn. Along the way, Sylvie kept her head down, not daring to look around. In crowded places, her heart was still filled with fear.

In short, social anxiety.

“Kuze!!” Lin Feng pulled Sylvie into the courtyard and shouted loudly.

“Young Master Lin Feng, Young Master Kuze is not here, he will be back soon. Please rest in the pavilion first, I will go prepare some refreshments for you.” Hearing Lin Feng’s shout, Miss Lina quickly ran over.

“Hmm, he didn’t go looking for stinky tofu again, did he?”

“No, Young Master Kuze went to inspect the flying boat.” Miss Lina said and then hurried away.

Flying boat? When Lin Feng heard this new term, he immediately thought of an airplane. Could it be a flying vehicle similar to an airplane?

“Come sit down, don’t be afraid, just like your own home.” Seeing Sylvie looking a bit dazed, Lin Feng gently patted her shoulder.

“Oh, oh, okay, Master.” Sylvie nodded in a panic, then sat stiffly on the long bench.

Kuze returned very quickly. Miss Lina hadn’t even prepared the snacks yet when he rushed back.

“Wei! Find the expedition team that went to the Polar Mountain Range last time again. This time, the price is ten thousand empire gold coinss. Three days later, we will go to the Polar Mountain Range again!” Kuze said to the butler beside him as he walked quickly.

“Brother Lin?”
