Chapter 527: 492 Chapter · Dinner Table Asura!

"Actually... on this trip back home, I also learned from some of my aunts how to cook."

"Also, my cousin and her future husband came over."

At this point, Zhang San noticed that there was a man and a woman standing behind Hu Xingxiang.

The man looked like a weak scholar, with a refined appearance. He was somewhat reserved upon seeing me, managing only a slight smile as a greeting. It seemed as if he wanted to speak but couldn’t find the words, so his mouth just opened and closed without a word escaping.

The woman next to him was dressed in red, her fiery-red hair flowing down to her waist, exuding an aura of martial prowess.

"Zhang San, this is my cousin, Hu Jing’an. Next to her is her fiancé, also from the Bai Family of the Northeast Five Immortal Clan, Bai Dushu," said Xingxiang.

The surname is also a very nice one.

The name is also a very nice one.

It’s just odd when put together.

Zhang San promptly greeted the two, and then sent someone to prepare food and drinks to properly host his cousin and future cousin-in-law.

At that moment, Hu Xingxiang said, "I can cook some dishes too, so why don’t I do the cooking this time."

Zhang San felt it wasn’t quite right, but with Hu Xingxiang insisting, he eventually let her do the cooking.

The cousin glanced at Hu Xingxiang, then at Zhang San.

"Xiang is just starting to learn to cook, and you’re lucky enough to taste her cooking. What fortune you have!"

Zhang San felt that there was something off about the tone of her voice; it was as if his cousin wasn’t too pleased with him.

But before Zhang San could decide how to respond, Bai Dushu next to him cheerfully said, "Jing’an, I heard your cooking is quite excellent. I wonder when I’ll have the good fortune to taste it?"

Hu Jing’an looked at Bai Dushu, her smile curving greatly at the corners of her mouth.

"Not only is my cooking excellent, but my kick also hurts a lot! Would you like to try that as well?"

"No, no, no! I just... just said it on a whim... How could I bear to make you cook? I’ll do it! I’ll do it! I’ll do all the cooking at home in the future!"

"Do you even know how?"

"I... I haven’t... as of now... a gentleman stays away from the kitchen... but... I could learn! Yes, I learn quickly!"

"You’ll learn, huh? Come here now, I’ll teach you!"

As she spoke, Hu Jing’an gave Bai Dushu’s behind a kick and then dragged him by the ear towards the kitchen.

Zhang San was still curious if the Northeast region of this world was different from what he knew back in his original world.

He had never seen a Northeast girl as gentle as Hu Xingxiang.

Now, seeing Hu Xingxiang’s cousin Hu Jing’an, it felt right!

The maids naturally wouldn’t let their mistress cook and busy herself, so they stood by ready to assist.

With so many people cooking, it was only natural to invite more people to eat to make the event lively.

Especially Changsun Wuji, who looked at them with envy and jealousy. He didn’t wait for Zhang San to speak and had already called over Changsun Wugen.

Zhang San had no choice but to ask Changsun Wuji to invite Military Envoy Changsun Bubai and Changsun Youde as well.

Even military officers of certain ranks were asked to join.

Although Hu Xingxiang’s relationship with him was at most a romantic one, since she was now considered a "Family Member" living in the military camp, it was only proper to inform everyone.

Soon, the camp was filled with officers.

Everyone heard that Zhang San’s beloved woman had come to visit him and even started cooking right away. They all envied him.

"Zhang San truly has good fortune! Look at the woman he found, she’s treating him so well!"

"You don’t know about my status at home. Seriously, we had a dog that ate better than I did!"

"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? You are after all a Brigadier, you can’t be worse off than a dog at home, right?"

"Leftovers were for me to eat, until we got a dog. Then the leftovers were for the dog! They’d even leave extra, just in case. If I got home late, there’d be nothing left for me."

The officers lamented the poor state of the Brigadier’s life.

Then someone curiously asked, "Why did you get home so late before? If it was that late, why didn’t you just eat out?"

"The food at the Brothel is too expensive! The girls being pricey is one thing, and I don’t mind expensive wine, but the food being that pricey? I couldn’t bring myself to spend the money!"

The crowd snickered.

Serves you right for eating worse than a dog!

At that moment, the maids began to bring out the dishes.

However, Zhang San noticed that the dishes were not served in small portions in front of each person.

Instead, they were brought out in large bowls.

Were the portions that large?

Then everyone realized that the dish was a hodgepodge stew.

It contained ribs, potatoes, eggplants, and other unknown vegetables.

They were followed by some staple foods and wine.

Just as the dishes were about to be completely served, and everyone except for the busy Hu Xingxiang, Hu Jing’an, and a few maids had taken their seats, Changsun Bubai was called out again and soon came back with several people.

"Zhang San! I’ve come to seek refuge with you!"

Suddenly hearing his name called, Zhang San looked up to see, under the glow of the setting sun, several horses galloping in. Leading them was a woman in silver armor on a white horse, smiling at Zhang San.

It was Ximen Jinxing!

The officers were stunned by the spectacle.

"Isn’t there one already cooking in the back? How come another one has arrived?"

"When I first met Zhang San, I knew this guy had limitless potential, and so would his backyard!"

Following Ximen Jinxing were four wobbling horses, each carrying one of her aunts.
