He hadn't seen this big-breasted cute girl in a while.
Suddenly seeing her again, Chen Zao felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
At that moment, he realized that he actually missed this silly Cute Girl quite a bit.
This place was different from the Golden Age; not seeing someone for a while didn't mean much.
In this chaotic and perilous world, not seeing someone for a few days could mean never seeing them again.
A farewell could very well be forever, which had become the norm in this apocalypse.
Seeing Ren Xiao still bouncing around in her usual lively manner brought Chen Zao great relief.
He turned and walked towards Ren Xiao.
“Chef Chen, you’re back so soon! I thought I’d have to wait a long time for you!”
As she approached Chen Zao, Ren Xiao looked up at him with surprise, her longing evident in her sparkling, innocent eyes.
“I just went out for a bit. I was back in no time. Today is the third day, and I’ve already found plenty of rich ingredients, so I rushed back.”
Chen Zao patted his backpack for effect and confidently asked Ren Xiao, “Has Third Brother returned? This time I can really show off my skills.”
“No, I received the latest news yesterday. My Third Brother encountered a particularly skilled chef at Panglong Stronghold. He plans to stay there until he can invite that chef to Tangling before coming back. We might have to wait a while longer for him,” Ren Xiao added. “If you’re willing, we could also go to Panglong Stronghold to find him.”
“Forget it; Panglong Stronghold is too far away. It would take a long time even on horseback.” Chen Zao had never been to Panglong Stronghold; he had only heard about it. It was just over ten kilometers from Luohan Slope, but due to a cliff in between and the several suspension bridges being destroyed by the Deep Sea Army during their recent invasion, getting from Luohan Slope to Panglong Stronghold now required a much longer detour, making it very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Ren Xiao told Chen Zao, "No need to take the long way; we can get there by cutting through half the distance. Are you going?"
"I'm not going. Let's wait for your Third Brother to come back," Chen Zao replied. Not having established a solid foothold in the apocalypse yet, Chen Zao didn't want to recklessly venture into Panlong Stronghold, which was guarded by many skilled fighters.
"Alright, then let's wait for my Third Brother to return. I'll ask someone to send a message to him, telling him that we have a Chef Chen here who is far superior to all the chefs in Panlong Stronghold! He should hurry back to taste your dishes; you'll definitely impress him! Tsk tsk!"
"When you brag about me in the future, please don't spit while you talk; it's too embarrassing," Chen Zao laughed at Ren Xiao's spitting while speaking.
Ren Xiao wiped the saliva from his mouth and unabashedly said, "Just thinking about the dishes you make makes me hungry, hehe. I've already eaten several fragrant buns, and I'm getting hungrier. Chef Chen, I really want to eat your Fried Rice right now. I wonder if you found any top-quality fragrant grain that can be used for Fried Rice during your food search this time?"
"I no longer bother looking for that kind of fragrant grain; it's too low-level." With a dismissive gesture, Chen Zao proudly declared, "This time I found only higher-grade ingredients. I'll make you a delicious meal shortly so you can enjoy it."
"That's great! Chef Chen, I'm totally in awe of you!"
Ren Xiao excitedly jumped up, causing his chest to bounce.
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't too familiar with Chen Zao yet, Ren Xiao would have wanted to give Chen Zao a bear hug to express his joy!
"Don't rush to admire me just yet; before making delicious food, I need to check on the results of your efforts in saving the beautiful world." Glancing at the round package in Ren Xiao's hand, Chen Zao asked, "Have you followed my guidance and come here with a hopeful heart to rescue the beautiful things that still exist in this dark world?"
"Yes! Yes! I've been saving those precious historical items you described to me! Look, Chef Chen, this is what I just got from my Fourth Brother—a Tang Dynasty Silver Pot!"
Ren Xiao proudly held up the round package for Chen Zao to see.
Chen Zao felt a jolt of excitement and quickly took it, asking, "Is this a Silver Pot from the Tang Dynasty?"
"It should be, I listen to my Third Sister."
"Listen to your Third Sister? Isn't this Silver Pot your Fourth Brother's?" Chen Zao was a bit confused.
The Ren Family had too many offspring, and Ren Changdong had too many wives, so the boys and girls of the Ren Family were arranged separately.
The boys were lined up in order from one to eight, and the girls were also lined up in the same manner.
The Third Sister mentioned by Ren Xiao was Ren Sanjie, Ren Ling. The Fourth Brother she referred to was Ren Ling's twin brother, Ren Long.
Ren Xiao told Chen Zao, "This Silver Pot originally belonged to my Third Sister. Someone gifted her a whole set, apparently with over ten pieces. She has already filled them with things and refuses to give me any. No matter how much money I offer, she won't sell it. Later, I heard my Fourth Brother snatched a Tang Dynasty Silver Pot from her to use as a Chamber Pot, so I found my Fourth Brother and bought this Chamber Pot from him for one gram of gold. He even laughed at me for it."
Seeing Chen Zao about to unwrap and inspect it, Ren Xiao quickly reached out to stop him: "Chef Chen, don't open it yet. I just bought this Silver Pot and haven't washed it; it's still a bit smelly inside. Let me clean it first before showing you."
Struggling in an incredibly foul-smelling world, what was there to fear about urine odors? Chen Zao ignored Ren Xiao's obstruction and opened the package under the night light.
A black Silver Pot with a handle and gilded patterns, exuding a sense of age, appeared before Chen Zao's eyes.
After carefully examining it, Chen Zao suddenly thought of something and his body jolted!
A surge of heat brewed subtly in his abdomen.
This Silver Pot looked remarkably similar to the Tang Gilded Parrot Pattern Silver Kettle, one of the eighteen treasures of the Chang'an History Museum!
Could this possibly be that first-class national treasure from the Chang'an History Museum?
My goodness!
Chen Zao was about to explode with excitement.
"Where did this come from?"
As Chen Zao asked Ren Xiao, unable to hide his excitement, his breathing became rapid, as if he were holding a fireball; the Silver Pot in his hands felt almost too hot to handle.
Ren Xiao frowned and said, "I got this from my Fourth Brother; it's his Chamber Pot."
"No, no, no! This was given to you by someone for your Third Sister. Do you know where they got it to give it to your Third Sister?"
Rubbing his temples and thinking for a moment, Ren Xiao replied, "I heard from my Third Sister that these Silver Pots seem to have come out of Qianling."
"Qianling? Wu Zetian's Tomb!"
Chen Zao, who was already suppressing his excitement, nearly fell to his knees upon hearing this!
No wonder Ren Xiao said that someone had given Ren Ling more than ten of these Silver Pots; they must have dug them out from Wu Zetian's Tomb!
They actually stole from this ancient divine tomb!
