"It means being able to observe celestial phenomena and know whether it will rain or be windy in three to five days. Anyway, scientists have a very broad scope."
"Okay, I want to strive to become a scientist."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lian was filled with longing.
This is not just any profession, it's the work of immortals! To summon wind and rain, how could Xiao Lian not want to learn?
If she learned such abilities, no one would dare to bully her and her mother anymore.
"Very good. You all go to school. From now on, the public fund will give you an extra 5 jin of rice every month. You don't have to worry about not having food when you go to school," Gu Qingcheng said.
"Really? That's great!"
The three children clapped their hands in delight.
"Of course, it's true. Have you ever seen me break my word?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at their childish and innocent faces, and she liked to chat with them a little more.
"Young Master Gu always keeps his promises. In Phoenix Village, who doesn't know that Young Master Gu always follows through on his words!" Gou Sheng flattered.
"Hmph, it's good that you know. Alright, I've given you your tasks. Hurry up and complete them."
"Yes." The three children took their tasks and ran off in a hurry.
Gu Qingcheng then went home to eat.
Mi Guo was asking Xiao Lang something. Seeing Gu Qingcheng return, he asked,
"Sister, let's give Xiao Lang a name. What do you think we should call him?"
"Call him Sai Hu!"
Gu Qingcheng lay lazily on the bamboo stick.
"What?" Looking at the cute and soft little wolf pup, Mi Guo was amused. "This little guy is called Sai Hu!"
"A name represents hope!"
Gu Qingcheng replied.
"Alright, then let's call him Sai Hu. I hope he's even more powerful than a tiger and can protect our village." Mi Guo compromised.
"Should we eat something ready-made for lunch?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
Mi Guo did not object.
Mi Guo had already understood Gu Qingcheng's extraordinary nature to a large extent.
From the first time they were locked in the dark room, Gu Qingcheng continuously took out many snacks he had never seen or eaten before. Mi Guo had long been accustomed to it.
He would find it strange if Gu Qingcheng didn't pull out something different each day.
"Let me see, what should we eat? Black truffle steak, fine French Burgundy wine."
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, she took out the steak and placed it on the dining table. She also opened the wine and poured it into delicate stemmed glasses.
Smelling the aroma of the steak, Mi Guo washed his hands and hurried to eat after feeding Sai Hu.
His hygiene habits were now well-established; he wouldn't feel accustomed to eating without washing his hands.
As Gu Qingcheng took a bite of the beef, her eyes closed in bliss.
The Angus steak was chosen from the silverside cut of the beef. The meat had a firm texture, a bright and lustrous color. After being pan-fried at high heat, it released a rich meaty aroma.
This kind of steak, paired with the scent of mature black truffle, blended into a uniquely rich and fragrant aroma, instantly amazing the taste buds with its marvelous flavor fusion while chewing.
Unexpectedly, Mi Guo said, "This steak is a bit overcooked. If it were me, I would cook it more tenderly, so it melts in your mouth."
"This was made by Dad. If you dare to dislike it, be careful he'll blow his beard and glare."
Gu Qingcheng chuckled.
These steaks were prepared by Gu Qingcheng using ingredients from the Mountain Cat Supermarket when she and her parents were bored on Cliff Mountain. Her parents had Gu Qingcheng prepare the meals in advance and store them.
This way, they felt more at ease, always thinking that if something unfortunate were to happen to them one day, their daughter would still have ready-made delicious food to eat.
Mi Guo was purely judging from a culinary perspective, while Gu Qingcheng tasted the familiar flavor of home in the steak.
"Come, have some wine. When eating Western food, you must pair it with wine, otherwise, it feels like something is missing."
Gu Qingcheng swirled her wine glass. The Burgundy wine had excellent legs and a rich mouthfeel, with a floral aroma, which was her preferred taste.
Of course, she wouldn't overindulge. It was just this small half glass, and no more. The purpose was to use the wine to cleanse her palate after eating the steak.
Mi Guo took a small sip of grape wine and shook his head, frowning. "It doesn't taste good. Sister, do you still have that Happy Fat House water? Give me a can, I want to drink that."
"Alright, this is top-tier wine, costing over 30,000 yuan a bottle. Alas, pearls before swine. You don't appreciate it, so I'll have it all."
Gu Qingcheng shook her head and randomly commented, then casually got a can of sugar-free Happy Fat House water for Mi Guo.
Mi Guo chuckled, unfazed by his sister's "critique." However, he keenly tasted the difference in the cola and said,
"Sister, this one doesn't have the same strong flavor as the previous one."
"Ha, the previous one had high sugar content. Never mind. Anyway, you're still young. If you like it, I'll get you another bottle."
This time, Gu Qingcheng took out an old-fashioned can of Happy Fat House water, freshly taken from the freezer. Water droplets beaded on the can, making one want to drink it in one gulp.
After they finished eating, Gu Qingcheng took out two more boxes of yogurt and gave one to Mi Guo.
"Sister, didn't you say that eating yogurt helps you grow taller faster? Can I have a box with every meal from now on?"
Mi Guo was very fond of yogurt. This was probably his excuse to eat more.
However, Gu Qingcheng was relieved, looking at him with the eyes of a mother seeing her child finally grow up. She said,
"Okay, if you like eating it, I guarantee a supply."
Some children disliked yogurt, and parents had to coax them into eating it, which was a lot of trouble. If all children were as easy to manage as Mi Guo, the current generation of children would grow taller.
Mi Guo's words reminded Gu Qingcheng of a plan, but it was not convenient to reveal it yet as everything was not ready.
After they finished lunch, Huang Wenming came hurrying to find Gu Qingcheng, his expression excited, his voice trembling as he spoke:
"Young Master Gu, I've found a propitious date. We'll go to Gui Xiang's house for a meeting tomorrow morning."
"Ah? This? Isn't that too fast? Who did you consult to pick the auspicious date?"
Gu Qingcheng thought to herself, perhaps Huang Wenming was just too impatient and made it up to rush things.
"It was Uncle Kang from the farm," Huang Wenming said.
"What? Uncle Kang can tell fortunes?" Gu Qingcheng was dumbfounded.
"Yes, didn't you know? Haha, don't think he only knows how to feed cows and pigs. He was once a famous 'Iron Mouth Divine Diviner' in the martial world."
Huang Wenming didn't know where he heard this. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Ah? This?"
Gu Qingcheng was speechless. It seemed to be true. She hadn't expected Uncle Kang to be such a person.
Little Phoenix Village is truly a place where hidden talents lie. It's interesting!
Gu Qingcheng admired Huang Wenming's efficiency in handling this matter, which showed the depth of his affection for Gui Xiang!
Since Huang Wenming was in such a hurry and had already chosen an auspicious date, Gu Qingcheng naturally wouldn't be an obstacle. She suspected that if she said she was busy tomorrow, Huang Wenming would force her to go. So, she went with the flow and said,
"Alright, I happen to be free tomorrow morning. Of course, even if I weren't, I would make time."
Gu Qingcheng readily agreed, and Huang Wenming was overjoyed. He said,
"Then I'll ask Young Master Gu to dress solemnly tomorrow. I'll prepare the rest myself."
