Chapter 301: Chapter 299: Milk

Fu Yunhe retorted, "Please stop your imagination."

Nian Shutong looked innocently at Fu Yunhe and asked, "What am I thinking about?"

Fu Yunhe was at a loss for words and decided not to discuss the topic further, feeling he couldn’t outtalk Nian Shutong as a man.

Tomorrow was the day he had found Ha Ha, and every year he celebrated Ha Ha’s birthday on this day.

"I found it on the Star Network."

Fu Yunhe’s statement was bland, but Nian Shutong felt there was something different about it.

However, she didn’t ask. Everyone had their secrets and there was no need to know everything.

"I know. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have Mr. Fan make Ha Ha a bowl of longevity noodles, and I’ll prepare some other gifts for him."

"Good."

Fu Yunhe’s main purpose was to have Nian Shutong prepare gifts for Ha Ha because currently, Ha Ha cared for Nian Shutong the most.

As for himself, unless he revealed his identity as the Commander to Ha Ha, he had a feeling that any gift he prepared would be despised by Ha Ha.

After agreeing, Fu Yunhe left first, returning to the small wooden house.

Nian Shutong, thinking about the Earth information she had casually browsed before, asked Daodao to find more detailed videos on cake-making, which she planned to study.

Not just cakes; Nian Shutong had also looked up bread. Once her chickens started laying eggs, she could start a small bread factory.

If she were rewarded with dairy cows later, she could expand her bread factory.

For now, the eggs were just from birds’ nests she scraped together along with wild chicken eggs.

Food was scarce; nothing was plentiful.

It seemed she would have to scavenge for eggs again tonight.

Hmm? Maybe not necessary.

"Xiao Ba, do you sell chicken eggs?"

"Beep! Hello Host, Xiao Ba doesn’t sell chicken eggs, or any animal by-products."

So, she still needed to find her own, and better get some milk too.

A cake without cream lacks soul.

Nian Shutong simply skipped cultivation for the day and, driving her Shadowless, quickly arrived at the place where she had last hunted wild buffalo.

Back then, she remembered letting a cow go.

She wondered if, after all this time, it had calved.

She disembarked the Shadowless, tucked it into her Space Button, and with a sweep of her Divine Sense, indeed found a herd of cows.

It looked like last time it was just a small group.

Nian Shutong applied a sleight of hand to herself and walked boldly into the herd, finding a dairy cow that had recently calved.

A bucket appeared, and Nian Shutong crouched on the ground, hands by the cow’s hindquarters, lifting for a long time until she finally managed to get it right.

"Master, you’re too forceful, the cow would have run away had you not restrained it."

"Alright, got it."

Nian Shutong tried to relax her grip but still couldn’t get the knack of it.

The milked cow also seemed baffled, lowering its head, wondering what was happening.

Nian Shutong researched for a while, still didn’t get the knack, but luckily, the cow was well-developed and probably had plenty of milk. Even though it was uncomfortable, milk was still extracted.

Nian Shutong had intended to fill a bucket, but after half a bucket, she gave up.

Even the thought of taking some meat faded.

The poor thing, it was not easy; she’d try another time.

Carrying half a bucket of milk, she drove off in the Shadowless.

The cow left there, if it had had more complex thoughts, would now be questioning its life.

It never imagined that it could be milked stealthily.

Nian Shutong took her time driving back.

Occasionally, she would stop to find some bird eggs, wild chicken eggs, and even found several nests of duck eggs near a water source.

"Master, duck eggs make delicious salted eggs, and roasted duck is also extraordinary."

Roasted duck?

Since the cows were not hit, how about catching a few ducks instead.

There were indeed quite a few ducks by the lake, Nian Shutong managed to catch twenty ducks in one go and collected nearly a hundred duck eggs, finally feeling a sense of achievement.

When she returned, it was still dark, and Nian Shutong began to study making cakes on her own in the kitchen.

When Mr. Fan came out to cook, all he saw was a person covered in flour, standing in the kitchen, frantically flinging their hands.

"Who is it?"

Mr. Fan casually picked up a large spoon handy for defense and held it in front of him.

"I’m telling you, our boss is very formidable."

"It’s me, Mr. Fan."

As soon as Nian Shutong spoke, Mr. Fan breathed a sigh of relief and called out for the boss.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Mr. Fan stepped forward and saw the mess in front of Nian Shutong.

It was truly, a disaster area.

Flour everywhere, egg liquid, eggshells, and some unidentified white substance.

If it were someone else who had made the kitchen look like this, Mr. Fan would have been furious.

It was not just untidy; it was a waste of food.

"I... I just wanted to experiment with a new dish."

Nian Shutong’s words made Mr. Fan deeply respectful.

Look at that, this is how bosses are, how the experts do it.

Staying up all night just to develop new food.

"Boss, if you have any ideas, why don’t you share them with me and see if I can help?"

Seeing the mess all over the floor, even if Mr. Fan hadn’t said anything, Nian Shutong was already pondering calling for backup.

This cake really wasn’t something ordinary people could make.

Most crucially, Nian Shutong had completely lost at the first step—the flour.

As for the final decorative frosting and such, she felt that she should be quite adept.

"Mr. Fan, please help me with the dough first, I’m cooking longevity noodles for Ha Ha with chicken broth tonight."

"Alright, I’ve saved some chicken broth."

Mr. Fan had a habit of keeping some chicken broth and bone broth stored in the freshness locker, conveniently to be taken out and used anytime.

In the morning, Mr. Fan helped knead the dough, and Nian Shutong made a bowl of longevity noodles with chicken broth, ready to serve it to Ha Ha.

She also agreed with Mr. Fan that they would study making cakes together in the afternoon.

In the morning, people who had worked in the fields gradually started to come back, each returning to their homes for breakfast.

The children finished their morning reading and boxing practice and also went back to their homes, ready to eat.

At the small wooden house, it was naturally time to eat as well.

"Ha Ha, happy birthday."

Nian Shutong walked out with a bowl of noodles and met Ha Ha’s puzzled gaze.

"What, you don’t know today is your birthday?"

Ha Ha thought seriously for a moment and said, "Ha Ha doesn’t know, only Ha Ha’s Commander knows. He says the day he met Ha Ha is Ha Ha’s birthday."

"Ha Ha doesn’t need to remember, the Commander will remember for him."

Ha Ha’s words, spoken with some earnestness, couldn’t redeem Nian Shutong’s noodles even a bit in his mind; he was missing the Commander.

But Nian Shutong, with meaningful eyes, looked towards Fu Yunhe, dragging out her tone.

"Oh... so only your Commander knows, huh."

The gazed-at Fu Yunhe felt suddenly as if his clothes had been stripped off.

He hadn’t expected Ha Ha to say something like that, and really didn’t know that Ha Ha wouldn’t remember his own birthday.

He was just used to remembering it, to celebrate it for him.

But now, he was somewhat anxious about Nian Shutong’s reaction upon finding out?

Because he himself, didn’t want to leave this place at all.
