Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 167 Returning to Mashan to Avoid Seafood

Li Qinglian took the fish basket and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

But in her heart she was thinking that she must go to the brokerage tomorrow to buy a maid who could cook seafood.

If this continues, they'll be worked to death.

The problem is, I really can't stand eating seafood every day.

Chu Chen saw Li Qinglian enter the kitchen and followed her in.

“I’ll go find a maid right away. You teach her how to do it, and try to get her to learn in a few days. Then I’ll take you back to Mashan Village.”

"My husband, you understand me best."

After saying that, Chu Chen walked out of the villa. When he returned, he was followed by a maid who had accompanied Zhu Liuxiang fishing.

"Daoist Master, you know Qinglian will eventually return to Mashan Village. How about having her cook you a meal today?"

Zhu Liuxiang looked at the familiar maid in front of him. As long as it could be done, it didn't matter who did it.

Then he stroked his white beard again: "Very good!"

Chu Chen led the maid to the kitchen: "Miss, you should learn from Qinglian. Once you've mastered it, you can become the Daoist's number one maid."

"Thank you for your guidance, young master and madam. I grew up by the sea and already knew some skills!"

The maidservant bowed to the two of them and said.

"Haha, very good!"

Chu Chen laughed as he walked out of the kitchen. "You know how? That's great, it saves so much trouble."

Three days later, the maid was able to cook the dishes herself.

Seeing Zhu Liuxiang's rosy face as he ate, Li Qinglian and Chu Chen both breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master, there are some minor matters in Mashan Village that we need to attend to. We plan to set off tomorrow!"

"Yes, Master, and me too, we also have some things to do in Qingyun City."

Seeing that Chu Chen and Li Qinglian were about to return to Mashan, Mu Xueqin quickly said something.

At this moment, Chen Qingxuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "Master, I also..."

"Get lost! You're all alone, what business do you have here? Stay and fish with this old man!"

Chen Qingxuan: Fuck you, you idiot! So you're all ganging up on me?

However, Chen Qingxuan was helpless against Zhu Liuxiang, since he was Zhu Liuxiang's disciple.

"Junior brother, you stay here and keep Master company!"

Seeing this, Mu Xueqin quickly said, "What a joke! Anyone can leave, but you can't."

However, they all overlooked one problem: Zhu Liuxiang was also eager for them to leave.

The next day, Chu Chen piloted the small boat, heading towards Linhai City under the watchful eyes of Zhu Liuxiang and Chen Qingxuan.

After seeing the three off, Chen Qingxuan mechanically slung his fishing gear over his shoulder and said, "Let's go, Master!"

"where to?"

"Fishing, isn't that something you enjoy doing every day?"

"I'm feeling a bit tired today, so I need to go to the seaside. You can go fishing by yourself."

After saying that, he walked towards the sea with his hands behind his back.

This scene made Chen Qingxuan wonder, what's wrong with Master today? He's not fishing.

Fine, I won't fish then. Today, I'm visiting Honglangman.

So he abandoned his fishing gear and headed towards the sea.

Standing on the city wall, Chu Yi saw the two of them agreeing to go out together, and he couldn't quite process what was happening.

Don't the two Taoist priests go fishing together every day?

What, is something wrong today?

However, since neither of the two Taoist priests mentioned it, I won't pry and ask.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen's car was seen driving out of the Linhai city gate.

Both figures headed towards Linhai Honglangman at the same time.

At the entrance of Linhai Red Romance, Chen Qingxuan looked at Zhu Liuxiang with an "I understand" expression.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Well, to be honest, I do quite enjoy fishing, but there are some things in this world that are even more wonderful than fishing!"

"I ate seafood for half a month and finally managed to get rid of your senior sister."

Without feeling embarrassed after saying that, she strode into the door of Red Romance.

"Yes, that's true. There are some things that are much more fun than fishing."

Chen Qingxuan muttered something to himself and stepped into the Red Romance gate!

As soon as Shangguan Cai'er saw Chen Qingxuan, she started talking.

"You bad person, why haven't you come to see me for half a month...?"

"Oh, here we are. Shall we go upstairs?"

"Go upstairs..."

Meanwhile, Chu Chen, with the two women, was speeding back to Qingyun City.

Completely unaware, their proud fishing plan had long since failed.

For Zhu Liuxiang, Mu Xueqin was someone he had raised since childhood, just like his own daughter.

Under her watchful eye, what kind of nonsense is it for you to be running around to brothels every day?

That day, when Chu Chen and Mu Xueqin persuaded him to go fishing, he understood what was going on.

So I ate fish every day, hoping it wouldn't drive you away.

Zhu Liuxiang, who had just gotten his wish, was enjoying fruit and ice-cold beer in the Red Romance area.

They're living a carefree and leisurely life.

"Husband, do you think it would be disrespectful for the Taoist priest if the three of us just left like this?"

Li Qinglian looked at Chu Chen and Mu Xueqin and said.

"Oh, Sister Qinglian, it's good enough that you escaped. Don't feel guilty. Besides, you still have that drunkard with you."

Before Chu Chen could speak, Mu Xueqin hurriedly spoke up.

If I soften my heart and go back, wouldn't I be eating seafood every day again?

This time, I absolutely have to go back to Nama Mountain Village and stay there for a while.

Go and enjoy the beautiful scenery and have some simple, light meals.

The car sped along and returned to the western residence of Qingyun City that very night.

In the western courtyard, the three of them ate heartily the meal prepared by Xiaolan and Xiaotao.

The two were quite surprised; it seemed as if the young master and his wife had been starving for a long time.

"Xiao Lan, give me another bowl."

"Alright! Young Master." Xiao Lan took Chu Chen's bowl and ran towards the kitchen.

In her heart, the fact that the young master was willing to eat the food she cooked was the greatest affirmation for her.

After a satisfying meal, the three patted their round bellies and let out contented laughter.

Then they both walked into the room.

Chu Chen suddenly had the thought of not wanting to return to the island, but he immediately rejected the idea.

Who knows when these Japanese will arrive?

We can't stay in Mashan Village for long. Since we promised Zhou Shixun, we must defeat the Japanese in the first battle so that they dare not come back.

Otherwise, it would be too troublesome if they kept doing it to you every now and then.

However, in this era, technology was so underdeveloped that ocean ferries were not used to such things.

It would probably take the Japanese a great deal of money and resources to come to this Great Xia.

If such a battle could deter them and solve the problem once and for all, then we would be happy with it.

As for how things will develop afterward, that's not something I need to worry about at all.

This is a feudal society where the entire country belongs to the Zhou family. Doing too much for themselves is actually detrimental.

So after spending the night in Qingyun City, he hurriedly headed towards Mashan Village with the two women.

Mashan Village remained as peaceful as before, with everyone going about their work.

The exchange of information.

Standing in front of the villa's huge floor-to-ceiling windows, I looked at the harmonious scene in the village.

Isn't this exactly the Shangri-La that Lao Tao described back then?
