Bai Yi misses the natural gas in the real world. At least it is not as troublesome as the taxi stove in front of him.
Moreover, the firewood in this world is different from that in the original world.
At the very least, the wood in the original world cannot have so much smoke.
——
In fact, he has always wanted to hire some chefs who can cook.
But I’m also afraid that others will say that I’m being cunning and pretentious.
So I can only hold it back for now and plan to wait until the overall life in Baicheng improves before mentioning it.
——
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
The billowing white smoke made him cough.
Finally, I rushed out of the kitchen and came to the yard.
The moment he breathes in the fresh air, his whole body feels as if he is being purified.
When I turned around, I saw Dole leaning casually by the kitchen door, holding a piece of raw Shidou in his hand and chewing it as if he was eating fruit.
"When did you come?" Bai asked.
"It's been a while."
"Are you planning to stay?"
"You haven't forgotten what happened last night, right?"
"Before that, we must first find a medicine that can make people fake corpses."
"It's good that you haven't forgotten."
As he said that, he turned around and left. Halfway through, he seemed to suddenly remember something and pointed to the kitchen behind him:
"By the way, it's on fire inside."
"What?!!!"
Bai was shocked and rushed into the kitchen.
Sure enough, the firewood pile in the kitchen burned down, and the fire became more and more intense.
Seeing this, Bai rushed to the water tank aside.
Unexpectedly, the sole of his foot slipped and he fell forward with a pop.
"Bang!!!!"
His head hit the water tank and the water tank was immediately destroyed.
"Wow..."
The biting ice water spurted out and hit Bai Yi like a tsunami, killing a man in the ice.
In an instant, Bai Yi felt that his whole body was so cold that he lost consciousness.
The next moment, he glanced at each other and passed out.
——
Not long after that, Kuroki came to the courtyard yawning.
He was planning to practice his sword, but he saw thick smoke billowing from the kitchen nearby.
Surprised, he approached and saw Bai Yi lying unconscious on the ground, and the depths of his kitchen were already on fire.
"Fuck!!!"
Kuroki was shocked and hurriedly rushed in and dragged Bai Yi out, shouting while dragging:
"Come here, come here!!! There is an assassin!!!!!!"
——
——
——
"Hey, what's going on in the City Lord's Mansion? Why are there so many people here?"
At the gate of the city lord's mansion, a large number of residents were guarding the door with gifts, which made passers-by look puzzled.
"I heard... that our city lord was assassinated?"
"Ah? Really or not? Is the old man okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, I was discovered early, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
"Who the hell did it? If you want me to know, I have to catch him and burn him to death."
"Eighty percent of them are some kind of people who are trying to win over others. I've seen this kind of scum a lot. Bah! It's best that we don't know who he is."
"Hey...what are you talking about?"
The old man carrying the gift came closer. After all, there were too many people at the door of the city lord's mansion. God knows when he would be able to queue up.
"What else can we talk about, how about the assassination of the city lord by some bastard?"
"Assassination? Oh my, what are you talking about? How can there be any assassination?"
"What is that if it's not an assassination? I heard that the city lord fell down and his head was injured."
"Oh, that's not the case. I asked about it when I was walking this morning. That's not the case at all."
"What's going on?"
"Say yes, but I'm only telling you this. Don't go out and talk nonsense."
His mysterious look attracted everyone to him and said:
"I heard...it seems that our city lord went to the kitchen to cook and accidentally set the house on fire.
Then while putting out the fire... I accidentally dropped my head and fainted."
"Ah? This...isn't this possible? The city lord, the old man, goes to the kitchen to cook?"
"Hey! Is it possible? There are no women in this city lord's mansion. How many of them can cook?
You must know that our city lord has a good background, and he must have eaten a lot of delicious food before coming here.
Now that food has dropped so much, it is naturally unacceptable.
Of course I just want to make some food myself.”
"Yes, yes, the food in the City Lord's Mansion is indeed not good. I know this. Yesterday I went to help in their kitchen, but guess what?
How do the dishes cooked by the child soldiers look like they are for human consumption? They are more like feeding pigs.
No wonder the city lord couldn't stand it.
Not to mention that he is the lord of the city, even I can't stand it."
The more everyone talked, the more intense they became. As they talked, more and more people joined the discussion, and the scope of its spread became wider and wider.
No, it didn't take long for the news that the city lord burned down the kitchen while cooking spread throughout the city.
At first people thought it was outrageous and didn't want to believe it.
But after learning that this was really the case, I couldn't help but find it funny.
Of course I won't hate it.
On the contrary, I feel that the image of the city lord is no longer so aloof, but more approachable and down-to-earth.
——
On the other side, there is a white room.
Bai Yi sat on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and a bandage on his head.
Even though there was a brazier in front of the bed, he was still shaking at the moment.
There were many people in the room, including Old John and Heimu, and about a dozen guards.
They all stared at Bai Yi without saying a word, and the scene was eerily quiet.
"puff……"
But in the end, someone couldn't help it and accidentally laughed out loud. Looking over, he saw a young recruit in his early eighteens.
"why are you laughing?"
Bai Yi, who heard the noise, was like a cat that had stepped on its tail, and gave the soldier a blank look.
"Yes, I'm sorry City Lord..."
The soldier quickly stopped smiling and lowered his head.
"Don't do this next time."
"Yes, yes..."
——
Bai Yi looked around, with a lot of complaints in his eyes, and said:
"This, can you blame me? Is this my fault?
Yes, I burned down the kitchen. My fire-making skills may be a little bit worse.
But I was wrong a lot, are you not wrong at all in this matter?
If you could make the food more delicious and not look like pig food, would I have to do it myself?
There are so many people in this group of old men, but not even one of them can cook.
Let me tell you, if we were there, a man who couldn't cook wouldn't even be able to find a wife.
The reason why you are single now is because you can’t cook!!!”
He kept complaining like a resentful woman.
"Ah, Ah sneeze!!!!"
Halfway through, he sneezed a few times from time to time, as if he had to vent his anger even if he was sick.
Seeing that no one in the room answered, I lost interest in cursing and came to the topic:
"Let me tell you... this matter must not be spread today, and rumors must not be spread that I am injured and have a cold.
I am the high priest of the God of Life, and I am protected by the goddess Luya. These minor illnesses on my body will be cured after a while.
Although it is true that I have been tricked, it will inevitably have a bad impact if others find out.
In short, if you dare to talk nonsense to me, be careful I will deduct your salary.
Did you hear that clearly?"
However, no one answered, and all their expressions were slightly complicated.
"Reply, you are mute? Do you hear clearly?!!!"
"Listen, listen clearly..."
Everyone answered in unison, but their voices were a little weak.
"That's it, disband."
People left the room one by one, and soon only Old John and Kuroki were left.
The two wanted to say something, but they looked at each other and left without saying a word.
