Chapter 56 This Luo Zixi is really cunning and wicked.

At this moment, Zhang Qianwen regretted it. She never expected that the Bai family's old house would be in this state.

She thought that someone as dramatic as Luo Zixi would definitely choose a nice place.

Moreover, it was clear that Luo Zixi had already found out the information beforehand.

But this is the result.

She was dumbfounded. Was there something wrong with Luo Zixi?

Why should a young woman like me live in such a gloomy old house?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

However, Zhang Qianwen is still safe now; this was a trap deliberately set for her by Luo Zixi.

Clearly, Luo Zixi had anticipated that she would cause trouble, so she inquired about this godforsaken place beforehand and deliberately came to trick her.

This Luo Zixi is so cunning and wicked, how could she do this?

They were sent to the countryside together, yet they harbored malicious intentions; it's utterly despicable.

Moreover, everyone received pork today, so why didn't she get any, and why didn't anyone bring her any?

Luo Zixi got lost and everyone went to look for her, but she lived alone here and no one cared about her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qianwen couldn't help but feel even more resentful.

But now, she has no choice. Should she just go back to the educated youth settlement?

She can't afford to lose face like this!

So what if it's a little dark? So what if it's a little empty?

She can endure it all!

I live alone in this big house, so I'll need to add more furniture later so it won't feel so empty!

That would be incredibly awesome! Once she gets used to it, she'll be the envy of all the other educated youth.

Especially Wang Hongmei, she'll regret it someday!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qianwen couldn't help but take a big bite of her dry steamed bun.

This white steamed bun should have been delicious; these days, countless people want to eat it but can't. But now, it tastes as dry and hard as a rock.

Zhang Qianwen was truly on the verge of tears. The aroma of meat wafting from all directions only intensified her resentment and frustration.

Meanwhile, at the educated youth's station, Luo Zixi had already started cooking.

She had been running around in the mountains for half a day and had used up a lot of energy, so it was time for her to replenish her strength.

She took out the lean meat from that wild boar and braised it slowly.

Soon the aroma of meat filled the air.

Today, a group of male educated youths came to help, so they also got some meat.

Several male educated youths watched with longing eyes.

Although they had meat, they didn't know how to cook it, and they were too embarrassed to ask Luo Zixi for help.

They knew that Luo Zixi would definitely refuse.

Don't be fooled by their appearance today; Luo Zixi doesn't actually need to look for anyone.

With such terrifying combat power, they can go anywhere, from mountains to seas.

However, Gu Yancheng was even more curious about Luo Zixi's identity, as he was a well-informed person.

So it was immediately clear what Luo Zixi's terrifying combat power represented. How could someone like that be an ordinary scholar?

Luo Zixi exudes an air of mystery.

This sense of mystery deeply attracted him, but Luo Zixi's powerful strength also made him extremely wary.

He wanted to get closer, but then he realized that Luo Zixi was covered in thorns.

Thinking of this, Gu Yancheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

And the girls he can't win over, that's really strange.

Does Luo Zixi have some kind of problem? Or does she not like men?

But Luo Zixi doesn't like women either, judging from how she treats those girls quite roughly.

For a moment, Gu Yancheng was also confused.

However, he was quite easygoing; if he didn't understand, so be it. There would be plenty of time in the future for him to study this mysterious girl.

However, a problem arose next: these young masters were used to living a life of luxury.

Apart from Li Guogang, who has some cooking skills, the other three are all young masters from wealthy families. They can do other things, but they are really no good at cooking.

They didn't know what to do with the meat.

However, on the other side, Gu Yancheng's friend Luo Dazhong kept watching the work in Luo Zixi's hands.

He hoped to remember the steps Luo Zixi was taking so that he could replicate the dish later.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Luo Dazhong seems to be Gu Yancheng's follower.

But actually, this young man is quite capable; he learns many things very quickly.

Gu Yancheng knew he had this ability, so he secretly instructed him to keep an eye on Luo Zixi's steps and learn them carefully.

Luo Dazhong was immediately frustrated. He had memorized all the steps of Luo Zixi's cooking, but he didn't have the seasonings that Luo Zixi took out from her bosom!

Those seasonings come in all sorts of colors; they're clearly meant to make the food even more delicious.

But these grown men wouldn't think of that much!

The family prepared receipts and money for them, as well as various winter clothes and bedding, and some dry food for emergencies.

Besides that, who would have thought I'd also need to bring seasonings and pots and pans?

They weren't planning to stay here long-term; they just wanted to wander around for a while and escape the vortex of the capital.

They'll go back once the storm passes, or even next month if they want; they've just arrived.

They just have that ability.

For these young masters, returning to the city was a matter of minutes.

But this has led to their current very awkward situation.

"Brother, I've got the gist of it, but I don't know the ingredients..."

"The most important thing for making a dish delicious is the ingredients, and we don't have any of those seasonings."
