"Eat what? If I only ate those few fruits of yours, I probably wouldn't be beaten to death by others, but I'd be starved to death by you." Zhang Hao said with a bitter smile.
He circled around outside and found no danger. He casually caught a few prey and brought them in. In his hands were two pheasants and a rabbit.
Walking into the cave, Murong Xian'er had made a fire. She was sitting by the fire, resting her chin on her hands, seemingly lost in thought. Seeing Zhang Hao walk into the cave, she happily greeted him and asked, "Brother-in-law, you're back?"
"Mm, I'll roast meat for you to eat, guaranteed you'll want more after you try it." Zhang Hao said proudly.
"Go on, I don't believe it. When I was in the Imperial Palace, there's nothing I hadn't eaten. Even some of the best tasting things, I'm tired of eating." Murong Xian'er said disdainfully.
"Go on, you'll know once you've eaten it."
Zhang Hao chuckled. He was very confident.
It's no wonder Zhang Hao is so confident. In terms of martial arts, Earth is perhaps far inferior to True Martial Continent, to the point where there's no comparability at all. But in terms of cuisine, it definitely leaves True Martial Continent thousands of streets behind.
"Ah, you want to roast the rabbit, you want to eat such a cute little animal too!" Murong Xian'er glared at Zhang Hao and said.
Zhang Hao looked at Murong Xian'er's expression that said 'you are a bad person', feeling a bit speechless. He smiled awkwardly and just said, "Well then, I can eat the chicken, right?"
Perhaps the chicken didn't look as cute. Murong Xian'er didn't have any objection. Seeing Zhang Hao quickly pluck the feathers off the two chickens, she was very impressed with Zhang Hao.
Originally, Murong Xian'er was highly skeptical that Zhang Hao could roast meat. After all, no matter what, Zhang Hao was once a Young Master, how could he know how to cook? For people from influential and wealthy families, cooking is definitely a low-level skill. Many nobles simply disdain learning to cook. But seeing Zhang Hao roast it so deliciously, her doubts about Zhang Hao immediately vanished like smoke.
"Is it ready yet!"
Murong Xian'er licked her lips. Seeing Zhang Hao's two roasted chickens dripping with fragrant oil, her stomach had already started protesting.
"Almost."
Zhang Hao occasionally brushed seasoning onto the roasted chicken, which made it emit a strong, pleasant aroma, making Murong Xian'er already drooling.
"It's ready, it's ready!"
Zhang Hao tore half of a large roasted chicken and gave it to Murong Xian'er.
After Murong Xian'er took the roasted chicken from Zhang Hao, she gently tried a bite. Clearly, she still didn't completely trust Zhang Hao's skill. After Murong Xian'er took a small bite, surprise immediately appeared in her eyes. Immediately after, she started devouring it.
"How is it?" Zhang Hao looked at Murong Xian'er, very confident.
Murong Xian'er nodded vigorously and said, "Mm, it's very delicious, very delicious."
"It's good if it's good. I also think it should be good." Zhang Hao smiled confidently.
Just as Zhang Hao was about to grab the second roasted chicken, a black shadow was one step ahead of him, snatched the roasted chicken, and started gnawing on it.
It started eating with relish.
When Zhang Hao saw the Little Black Cat appear, he was also slightly surprised. During this time, Zhang Hao had also been thinking about the whereabouts of this mysterious Little Black Cat. He always felt it seemed to be right beside him. It was as if every time he was in trouble, it would appear in time.
"Tsk tsk, Little thing, you seem to have lost weight. Is the food not good recently?" Zhang Hao looked at the Little Black Cat and teased.
The Little Black Cat glanced at Zhang Hao, its eyes full of grievance.
Damn it, since eating Zhang Hao's roasted meat, whenever it ate raw meat again, it felt like it couldn't swallow it at all! How could it have eaten those things before? It was simply wasting itself. Therefore, during this time, no matter how hungry the Little Black Cat was, it no longer wanted to eat those things. It felt that it was a cat with aspirations and didn't want to go back to living that kind of life.
Murong Xian'er looked at the Little Black Cat with some surprise. It seemed she hadn't expected that the chicken Zhang Hao roasted wasn't just liked by people, but even a cat was attracted to it. Finding it interesting, she looked at the Little Black Cat with great interest.
The Little Black Cat quickly finished the roasted chicken in its paw. It looked like it wanted more.
"How is it, do you want more? Come every day from now on, I'll roast it for you to eat." Zhang Hao smiled.
These past few days, the System was still upgrading. Zhang Hao was thinking of staying here as much as possible. He wanted to wait until his strength had improved a bit more before going out. He knew that Li Haofeng and Wang Shijun must be searching for him all over the world. However, this Secret Realm is so big, it would probably not be easy for the other party to find him in a short time.
The Little Black Cat was very perceptive, it seemed to understand Zhang Hao's words, and happily meowed "Meow!" "Meow!" twice, then turned and darted away, slipping out of the cave.
"Hehe, I didn't expect your reputation had even spread to the beast world, Brother-in-law, you really make me see you in a new light!" Murong Xian'er looked at Zhang Hao and smiled.
Zhang Hao also smiled without being modest, "That's natural, of course, just look at who your Brother-in-law is."
Looking at Zhang Hao's very smug appearance, Murong Xian'er couldn't help but pout her cute little mouth. However, Murong Xian'er also had to admit that Zhang Hao's roasting technique alone was something that even the imperial chefs in the Imperial Palace were far from being able to compare with him.
"Brother-in-law, your roasted meat is too delicious, from now on, I'll punish you by making you roast meat for me every day until I get tired of eating it. Three roasted chickens a day, no... ten roasted chickens..." Murong Xian'er said boldly.
Zhang Hao looked at Murong Xian'er weakly and asked, "Xian'er, so many, can you eat them all?"
Murong Xian'er snorted and said, "If I can't finish, what business is it of yours? Can't I pack it up?"
Zhang Hao: "..."
Next, Zhang Hao collected medicinal herbs nearby, preparing to refine Overlord Body Pills. This Secret Realm really lives up to its name of being full of treasures. Zhang Hao casually wandered around nearby for a few circles and could find some medicinal herbs below the third rank. Even medicinal herbs above the third rank could occasionally be found. At least the medicinal herbs for refining Overlord Body Pills were collected. In his spare time, he also picked up the Temptation Light that he had temporarily put down, using it to control some small beasts. The proficiency soared rapidly.
And that mysterious Little Black Cat indeed visited Zhang Hao here every day. It would occasionally bring some prey, such as pheasants and duck meat. It even brought fish from the nearby small river.
Zhang Hao, during this time, made roasted fish, roasted chicken, and roasted duck. Today, he also made oysters. Uh, okay, they just looked like oysters, picked up from the nearby river.
Watching Zhang Hao roast oysters on the grill, Murong Xian'er and the mysterious Little Black Cat were both very puzzled, "Can this thing be eaten?" Regarding these shellfish, Murong Xian'er also often saw them, but mostly because their shells were beautiful, used for viewing, but she had never thought of eating them.
"Hehe, this thing, in my hometown, is called oyster. Eating it nourishes the kidneys and beautifies the skin." Zhang Hao smiled meaningfully.
"Nourishes the kidneys, what nourishes the kidneys?"
However, Murong Xian'er was still very concerned about beautifying her skin. Suddenly, she had a bit more anticipation.
Today, Zhang Hao was making his specialty, oysters. On Earth, for many barbecue diners, oysters are a must-order. Just a small oyster has many ways to be prepared. For example, garlic oysters, Hong Kong style oysters, original flavor oysters. All sorts of variations.
Hehe, this was also Zhang Hao's plan. After a few days, his Temptation Light skill had painstakingly soared to the fourth level. 15000 proficiency, saying more would just bring tears. However, if he could subdue this Little Black Cat, everything would be worth it.
