Maybe his little guardian was sulking because he had to take time out of his busy schedule to take care of his food and daily life.
Old Dog Bai has learned a lot about using electronic products and was now quite skilled at searching for recipes.
With his long and powerful fingers dancing on the screen, Bai Ju collected a lot of home-cooked recipes and saved them in his mind with satisfaction. Then he threw the phone aside and pondered over what he should cook for his first time cooking.
Cutting vegetables and controlling fire could be solved with magic. Bai Ju was not worried about making any dark dishes. At most, they would not be as delicious as Xiao Yao’s… But human kitchen utensils must also be learned to use, Bai Ju thought with some hesitation.
If he used magic, he would seemingly lose a lot of the fun of cooking; but if he didn’t use magic, he had no confidence in his cooking skills.
Bai Ju thought about it for a long time, and finally decided carefully to cook porridge.
It was good to cook porridge and drink it to nourish the stomach. Xiao Yao could sleep after drinking it when he came home late at night… In case it got cold, the porridge was also very convenient to reheat.
Casserole, white rice, shredded ginger, minced meat, preserved eggs…add some sesame oil and pepper.
Maybe add some mushrooms.
Bai Ju opened the door of the refrigerator and carefully checked the ingredients and quantities. At one moment, he felt that there was too much, and at the next moment, he felt that he had taken too little. And seasonings. How much to add…
Cooking seemed to be harder than he imagined.
Bai Ju mobilized his shallow memory of “cooking” and felt that what was spinning in his head was either the burnt grilled fish or the old and wood-fired barbecue.
Memorizing recipes didn’t seem to do much good.
Human kitchen utensils were still not very convenient.
Bai Ju: “…”
Bai Ju decided to let himself go.
Ten minutes later, Bai Ju stood by the kitchen door with his arms folded, looking at the few white-haired little people jumping around in the kitchen and handling the ingredients step by step, secretly feeling disgusted.
It was really embarrassing to cook like this… and it was not as good looking as Xiao Yao’s cooking.
Fortunately, making porridge was really not difficult. Bai Ju quickly took back those little white-haired people and watched the fire under the casserole while waiting for the porridge to be cooked slowly.
The quality of the ingredients carefully selected and delivered to each mansion by the housekeeper fairies was naturally unparalleled.
The fresh aroma of mushrooms, meat, preserved eggs, scallions and ginger was wrapped in the refreshing and lingering fragrance of rice. When it came out from the steam hole of the casserole lid, Bai Ju’s heart finally calmed down.
Not only had he calmed down, but he also become a little proud.
It’s really awesome, I can cook porridge. It is necessary to tell the little guardian carefully and let him admire me.
In the blink of an eye, Old Dog Bai forgot about Xiao Yao’s craftsmanship. He also didn’t think about how a human elite who could do everything at home could worship Old Dog Bai just because he cooked porridge.
It was a pity that Old Dog Bai’s good boy filter was too thick. Just imagining the adoring eyes of his little guardian, he couldn’t help but flick his tail wildly.
Taking the time to turn off the fire, Bai Ju took a spoon, carefully scooped out some porridge, and tasted it.
It tasted pretty good –
“!” Before Bai Ju could feel complacent, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and his back began to shiver uncontrollably…
This premonition – bad! Something happened to Xiao Yao!
With a clanking sound, the spoon fell onto the smooth tiles, spreading a porridge stain.
Then the kitchen was left deserted.
….
Xiao Yao also didn’t expect that he would encounter this unexpected incident after just taking the time to follow the program that was going to be broadcast live for two days.
In the shopping mall where Xiao Yao took Old Dog Bai to visit when he first arrived, the central open-air square was surrounded by billboards, the most conspicuous of which was the promotional photo of the red fox Qiu Ziran.
Recently, in order to build momentum for the opening ceremony of the “China New Generation” musician tour that would be broadcast live on the Internet two days later, the promotional photo was replaced with a collective promotional poster; Qiu Ziran’s status in the music world was quite high, although it was not as good as some old-time seniors. But among the seniors, his position in the promotional photo was quite close to the center, so he should be ranked third in the draft; and he was also the only one among the three celebrity demons who was qualified to appear on this promotional poster.
For Qiu Ziran, this kind of publicity was undoubtedly an opportunity to improve and stabilize his status in the music world. Qiu Ziran himself attached great importance to and was very satisfied with it. However, the C position of the entire promotional photo was the old-fashioned veteran musician Lin Qi, who had always used Qiu Ziran’s face to question his musical ability.
This poster caused dissatisfaction among many Cumin fans[1].
On this day, a few impulsive fans ran to the mall and climbed to the rooftop. One of the girls, who was tied with a safety rope, moved along the rooftop to the billboard where the poster was placed, and tried to remove the poster. In the shopping mall during the day, this behavior was too eye-catching, causing everyone in the shopping mall to watch. Security guards had gathered, and some people had even called the police. However, because the incident happened suddenly, the police had not yet arrived.
Xiao Yao had made an appointment with several people in charge to talk about precautions. As soon as they finished talking, he heard that there was a commotion in the mall. He was afraid of an accident, so he rushed to the open square.
The change happened too suddenly. The girl standing on the billboard rack exerted too much force, lost her balance, and was about to fall. The safety rope tied to her body was not special equipment at all, and it was not strong enough. She fell violently and the rope suddenly cracked – at the same time, the billboard she landed on also broke without warning.
There were too many people gathered under the billboard, and there was another one in the air.
Xiao Yao, who had just arrived at the scene, had no time to hesitate or think. He could only rush to the center of the billboard, create a circle of talisman paper to line up the onlookers and help them resist the falling billboard from above; the next moment, after the talisman burned out, he took action a second time, whipping up a strong wind beneath the fallen girl – but he had no chance to take action a third time.
The power of the previous talisman paper was not very strong. It could quickly push away the people around it, but it could not completely lift the billboard. This billboard was bound to hit him, and even if there was a buffer in the process, he would definitely be injured.
But the pain he expected didn’t come.
The surroundings had fallen into a dead silence at some point. Some white fur suddenly pressed on his face, and a strong hand pressed on the back of his neck.
Xiao Yao’s gaze just passed over the passerby’s shoulder. He looked at the blue-light scene around him, as if time had stood still, and blinked blankly.
Real or fake?
Xiao Yao took a breath… his nose was full of the smell of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
The porridge-smelling old white dog patted the petrified young man on the back with lingering fear: “Good boy, good boy, it’s okay, don’t be afraid anymore.”
