"Since that’s the case, Buhuo, take them to familiarize themselves with the surroundings. I’m going to find some spices to go with that Xiao... and you two better not think about running off, or I won’t mind coming to drag you back. But I need to remind you, according to the laws of the Heavenly Court, fleeing from debts incurs double the punishment," the Kitchen God said.

Qin Shou looked at Dog Xiaotian as if to ask: Really?

Dog Xiaotian snorted affirmatively in response.

Qin Shou couldn’t help cursing: "What a fucked-up rule..."

The Kitchen God chuckled and then left.

The shopkeeper who had been previously beaten said, "Master, rest assured."

Then he said to Qin Shou and Dog Xiaotian, "You two, come with me."

Dog Xiaotian wore an unwilling face, but Qin Shou was all smiles, bouncing happily as he followed the shopkeeper.

"Hey, Brother He, how should I address you?" Qin Shou sidled up to ask.

The shopkeeper, covering his swollen, beaten face, replied, "My name is Zhou Buhuo, what about you?"

"Qin Shou!" Qin Shou immediately responded.

The shopkeeper paused, his cheeks puffing several times as if he wanted to laugh but seemed to fear the Rabbit might hit him again, so he desperately held it in and finally gave a cough, saying, "What a memorable name."

Qin Shou said, "Thanks for the compliment; your name is quite interesting too."

Zhou Buhuo shook his head, "My master gave me that name."

"Your master?" Qin Shou was surprised.

Zhou Buhuo said, "It’s the Kitchen God... "

"You’re the Kitchen God’s disciple?" Qin Shou looked at Zhou Buhuo in amazement.

Zhou Buhuo said with a bitter smile, "Yeah... the only disciple. But all I do as his disciple is embarrass him... I’m practically useless for anything else."

At this, Zhou Buhuo’s face was full of bitterness.

Qin Shou asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhou Buhuo sighed, "Master named me Buhuo, hoping I would accomplish something. But... sigh... I’ve been learning culinary arts from Master for eight hundred years, and to this day, I can’t even cook a decent dish."

When Qin Shou heard this, he was speechless; eight hundred years of learning and still not able to cook a single dish, Zhou Buhuo was really hopeless...

But Zhou Buhuo immediately said with incredible determination, "However, I believe that with hard work, I will eventually succeed! As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. Besides, I’m not that stupid! Eight hundred years? There’s plenty of time ahead, just take it slow... If eight hundred years isn’t enough, I’ll use eight thousand, and if that’s still not enough, then eighty thousand years to learn one dish. One day, I will master making fried rice with egg!"

Listening to this, Qin Shou was completely speechless; eighty thousand years to learn to make a simple egg fried rice? Was this kid tenacious or just stubbornly foolish?

Qin Shou patted Zhou Buhuo’s thigh and said, "Brother He, you’ve got spirit! You’re like a fly on the window!"

Zhou Buhuo looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Qin Shou said, "The future is bright."

Zhou Buhuo laughed, "Thanks..."

Qin Shou added, "But there’s no road."

Zhou Buhuo’s eyes turned red as he looked at Qin Shou... He would have probably killed the Rabbit by now if he could beat Qin Shou. He had never seen such an annoying Rabbit!

Too damn despicable!

At that moment, Dog Xiaotian caught up and said menacingly, "Shopkeeper, let me tell you, Mr. Dog here has a bad temper. I definitely won’t go to your crappy kitchen. Whatever tasks there are, you do them yourself! If you make me do it, humph... don’t blame me for being rude."

Zhou Buhuo was obviously frightened by Dog Xiaotian’s thuggish demeanor and shrank back, "I... I’ll tell Master..."

Dog Xiaotian snorted, "Your master can’t always be with you. Once you’re alone, I’ll beat you up!"

Zhou Buhuo was on the verge of tears...

Qin Shou said, "Come on, why scare him? Besides, it’s not right to hit people. As the saying goes, gentlemen talk, not fight..."

Zhou Buhuo nodded along; suddenly, he felt that the Rabbit wasn’t so bad compared to the Dog.

Then the Rabbit continued, "If he doesn’t listen to you, you should just bite him. Otherwise, what’s the use of having teeth sharp as razors?"

Zhou Buhuo felt a hundred thousand Cao Nima galloping through his heart and cried out: What kind of people are these? Better to stay away from them in the future...

Just then, the Rabbit came closer and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Buhuo. If he doesn’t want to do it, I’m willing! If there’s any carrying of dishes, looking after the storeroom, or temp chef work, just call on me anytime. I don’t have any issues except for being hardworking!"

Zhou Buhuo looked at Qin Shou skeptically, "Really?"

Qin Shou patted his chest and said, "Of course!"

"Well, I do have some tasks, like preparing ingredients. Would you do that?" Zhou Buhuo asked.

Qin Shou declared, "I will! Of course, I will!"

"Good, then come with me. There’s no other work in the kitchen right now, just managing ingredients. This morning a customer brought in a Triangular Boidae and reserved a meal for tonight. We haven’t had time to deal with it until now. Now that you’re here, you can help out... Come on, I’ll show you how to prepare it," Zhou Buhuo said.

Qin Shou nodded cheerfully and trotted after him.

Seeing this, Dog Xiaotian frowned and said, "Are you stupid? Taking up such a task? Whatever, I can’t deal with you, I’m going to find a place to nap."

Pushing aside the kitchen’s curtain, Qin Shou stepped in, feeling as if he had just walked through the Water Curtain Cave.

One step further, and Qin Shou was dumbfounded!

"This is your kitchen?" Qin Shou exclaimed.

He saw a small world before his eyes!

Two mountains sandwiched an alluvial plain, with a big, serene river flowing between them. The water was so clear that you could see straight to the bottom.
