Though they had many treasures in hand that could be exchanged for food, and their lives were better than many others, all resources in this generation were scarce. There was not much condiment.

Their cooking skills could not make any delicious food. They only knew how to cook meat edible enough…

In the past, they all had special chefs to cook different meals for them.

However, the situation changed after they met Gu Qingyao.

She was really good at cooking. All of them were willing to use their treasures to exchange for her cooked food. The food made them feel like the rich masters in the past.

Thus, Gu Qingyao was busy cooking for them.

The capital was cold now. It was even colder in the morning and at night.

Gu Qingyao poured the cooked mutton soup into a ceramic jar. She put rice, peanuts and spicy tofu into her little basket and then rode her bicycle to the three elders.

After coming to the capital, she could finally ride her bicycle freely. It was rare to have a bicycle in her hometown, and it was rare for a girl to ride one.

There were many bicycles in the capital. Gu Qingyao would not stand out here.

The sky was dark, and Gu Qingyao reached the place where the three elders stayed. It was a little house near the toilet where Elder Yang stayed. The three of them were waiting there.

All of their eyes sparkled as Gu Qingyao appeared. Their smiles were rather… cunning.

“Hehehe, girl, finally you're here. I'm starving! Where is my mutton soup? Mutton soup?”

The weather was cold at night. It would be warm with some mutton soup. No wonder they loved Gu Qingyao!

They could place orders on her.

What a blessing!

Elder Yang was the most wealthy one in the past. Gu Qingyao did not know his name besides his surname. Everyone else called him Elder Yang. Even when he introduced himself to Gu Qingyao, he also asked her to call him that.

The three of them had experiences gathering together for food. The two of them looked around for people. Gu Qingyao took the basket in when there was no one around.

When she took the basket from her bicycle, she added some food from her inters.p.a.ce.

The place was really small. It felt crowded with the three of them inside. Now it was even more crowded with Gu Qingyao. But none of them was bothered as they all stared straight at her basket.

Elder Yang, “I can smell the fragrance!”

How aromatic!

Gu Qingyao first took out the fried peanuts. The elderly's eyes brightened when they saw that.

Peanuts!

It was so rare to have peanuts now! They were the best to eat together with alcohol.

She then took out spicy tofu, and then it was the mutton soup that Elder Yang ordered.

Gu Qingyao spent time and effort in making the mutton soup. She added some water from her inters.p.a.ce to enhance its flavor. The water would be beneficial for their health as well.

The fragrance came out immediately when she opened the lid of the jar. Elder Yang took a deep breath.

“Alcohol, where's my alcohol?”

It was perfect to have some alcohol now!
